Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] jfs: wait for in-flight log I/O before freeing lbufs in lbmLogShutdown
Date: Tue, 5 May 2026 12:33:30 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260505123330.2822833-3-tristmd@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260505123330.2822833-1-tristmd@gmail.com>
From: Tristan Madani <tristan@talencesecurity.com>
lbmLogShutdown() frees log buffer (lbuf) pages and structures from
log->lbuf_free. However, BIO completions (lbmIODone) may still be
executing in softirq context when lbmLogShutdown() runs, because
lbmIODone accesses lbuf fields (l_flag, l_log, l_freelist) before
returning the buffer to the freelist.
If lbmLogShutdown() runs concurrently with lbmIODone in-flight,
it can free an lbuf that lbmIODone is still accessing -- resulting
in a use-after-free.
Fix this by adding an atomic io_count to struct jfs_log that tracks
in-flight BIO operations. lbmStartIO increments it before submit_bio
(or before calling lbmIODone directly for no_integrity mode), and
lbmIODone decrements it after all lbuf accesses are complete.
lbmLogShutdown waits for io_count to reach zero before freeing any
lbufs.
