This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled gfs2: bypass signal_our_withdraw if no journal to the 5.11-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: gfs2-bypass-signal_our_withdraw-if-no-journal.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.11 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit cf0f4ecdb8efff3a6ce51555938dd737c02f2222 Author: Bob Peterson <rpeterso@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Mar 12 07:58:54 2021 -0500 gfs2: bypass signal_our_withdraw if no journal [ Upstream commit d5bf630f355d8c532bef2347cf90e8ae60a5f1bd ] Before this patch, function signal_our_withdraw referenced the journal inode immediately. But corrupt file systems may have some invalid journals, in which case our attempt to read it in will withdraw and the resulting signal_our_withdraw would dereference the NULL value. This patch adds a check to signal_our_withdraw so that if the journal has not yet been initialized, it simply returns and does the old-style withdraw. Thanks, Andy Price, for his analysis.
