This issue may happens like this:
Process1 Process2
ext4_evict_inode
ext4_journal_start
ext4_truncate
ext4_ind_truncate
ext4_free_branches
ext4_ind_truncate_ensure_credits
ext4_journal_ensure_credits_fn
ext4_journal_restart
handle->h_transaction = NULL;
mount -o remount,abort /mnt
-> trigger JBD abort
start_this_handle -> will return failed
ext4_xattr_delete_inode
ext4_journal_ensure_credits
ext4_journal_ensure_credits_fn
__ext4_journal_ensure_credits
jbd2_handle_buffer_credits
journal = handle->h_transaction->t_journal; ->null-ptr-deref
Now, indirect truncate process didn't handle error. To solve this issue
maybe simply add check handle is abort in '__ext4_journal_ensure_credits'
is enough, and i also think this is necessary.
