[PATCH] ext4: Unregister sysfs path before destroying jbd2 journal

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Call ext4_unregister_sysfs(), before destroying jbd2 journal,
since below might cause, NULL pointer dereference issue.
This got reported with LTP tests.

ext4_put_super() 		cat /sys/fs/ext4/loop2/journal_task
	| 				ext4_attr_show();
ext4_jbd2_journal_destroy();  			|
    	|				 journal_task_show()
	| 					|
	| 				task_pid_vnr(NULL);
sbi->s_journal = NULL;
