Hello!
This is an experimental automated report about issues detected by Coverity
from a scan of next-20191108 as part of the linux-next weekly scan project:
https://scan.coverity.com/projects/linux-next-weekly-scan
You're getting this email because you were associated with the identified
lines of code (noted below) that were touched by recent commits:
303a8f2afc7b ("jbd2: remove the second argument of k[un]map_atomic()")
Coverity reported the following:
*** CID 1487840: Concurrent data access violations (ATOMICITY)
/fs/jbd2/journal.c: 421 in jbd2_journal_write_metadata_buffer()
415 if (jh_in->b_frozen_data) {
416 jbd2_free(tmp, bh_in->b_size);
417 goto repeat;
418 }
419
420 jh_in->b_frozen_data = tmp;
vvv CID 1487840: Concurrent data access violations (ATOMICITY)
vvv Using an unreliable value of "new_page" inside the second locked section. If the data that "new_page" depends on was changed by another thread, this use might be incorrect.
421 mapped_data = kmap_atomic(new_page);
422 memcpy(tmp, mapped_data + new_offset, bh_in->b_size);
423 kunmap_atomic(mapped_data);
424
425 new_page = virt_to_page(tmp);
426 new_offset = offset_in_page(tmp);
If this is a false positive, please let us know so we can mark it as
such, or teach the Coverity rules to be smarter. If not, please make
sure fixes get into linux-next. :) For patches fixing this, please
include these lines (but double-check the "Fixes" first):

Thanks for your attention!
