jbd2_journal_remove_journal_head() can oops when trying to access
journal_head returned by bh2jh(). This is caused for example by the
following race:
TASK1 TASK2
jbd2_journal_commit_transaction()
...
processing t_forget list
__jbd2_journal_refile_buffer(jh);
if (!jh->b_transaction) {
jbd_unlock_bh_state(bh);
jbd2_journal_try_to_free_buffers()
jbd2_journal_grab_journal_head(bh)
jbd_lock_bh_state(bh)
__journal_try_to_free_buffer()
jbd2_journal_put_journal_head(jh)
jbd2_journal_remove_journal_head(bh);
jbd2_journal_put_journal_head() in TASK2 sees that b_jcount == 0 and buffer
is not part of any transaction and thus frees journal_head before TASK1 gets
to doing so. Note that even buffer_head can be released by
try_to_free_buffers() after jbd2_journal_put_journal_head() which adds even
larger opportunity for oops (but I didn't see this happen in reality).
Fix the problem by making transactions hold their own journal_head reference
(in b_jcount). That way we don't have to remove journal_head explicitely via
jbd2_journal_remove_journal_head() and instead just remove journal_head when
b_jcount drops to zero. The result of this is that
[__]jbd2_journal_refile_buffer(), [__]jbd2_journal_unfile_buffer(), and
__jdb2_journal_remove_checkpoint() can free journal_head which needs
modification of a few callers. Also we have to be careful because once
journal_head is removed, buffer_head might be freed as well. So we have to get
our own buffer_head reference where it matters.
