The quilt patch titled Subject: ocfs2: fix null-ptr-deref when journal load failed. has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was ocfs2-fix-null-ptr-deref-when-journal-load-failed.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm ------------------------------------------------------ From: Julian Sun <sunjunchao2870@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: ocfs2: fix null-ptr-deref when journal load failed. Date: Mon, 2 Sep 2024 11:08:44 +0800 During the mounting process, if journal_reset() fails because of too short journal, then lead to jbd2_journal_load() fails with NULL j_sb_buffer. Subsequently, ocfs2_journal_shutdown() calls jbd2_journal_flush()->jbd2_cleanup_journal_tail()-> __jbd2_update_log_tail()->jbd2_journal_update_sb_log_tail() ->lock_buffer(journal->j_sb_buffer), resulting in a null-pointer dereference error. To resolve this issue, we should check the JBD2_LOADED flag to ensure the journal was properly loaded. Additionally, use journal instead of osb->journal directly to simplify the code.
