This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled ocfs2: fix mounting crash if journal is not alloced to the 5.18-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: ocfs2-fix-mounting-crash-if-journal-is-not-alloced.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.18 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 1a949da1de4e74eddc8eb56723e5d4dabeac9d39 Author: Heming Zhao via Ocfs2-devel <ocfs2-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Apr 29 14:37:58 2022 -0700 ocfs2: fix mounting crash if journal is not alloced [ Upstream commit bb20b31dee1a6c329c2f721fbe21c51945cdfc29 ] Patch series "rewrite error handling during mounting stage". This patch (of 5): After commit da5e7c87827e8 ("ocfs2: cleanup journal init and shutdown"), journal init later than before, it makes NULL pointer access in free routine. Crash flow: ocfs2_fill_super + ocfs2_mount_volume | + ocfs2_dlm_init //fail & return, osb->journal is NULL. | + ... | + ocfs2_check_volume //no chance to init osb->journal | + ... + ocfs2_dismount_volume ocfs2_release_system_inodes ... evict ... ocfs2_clear_inode ocfs2_checkpoint_inode ocfs2_ci_fully_checkpointed time_after(journal->j_trans_id, ci->ci_last_trans) + journal is empty, crash! For fixing, there are three solutions: 1> Partly revert commit da5e7c87827e8 For avoiding kernel crash, this make sense for us. We only concerned whether there has any non-system inode access before dlm init. The answer is NO. And all journal replay/recovery handling happen after dlm & journal init done. So this method is not graceful but workable. 2> Add osb->journal check in free inode routine (eg ocfs2_clear_inode) The fix code is special for mounting phase, but it will continue working after mounting stage. In another word, this method adds useless code in normal inode free flow. 3> Do directly free inode in mounting phase This method is brutal/complex and may introduce unsafe code, currently maintainer didn't like. At last, we chose method <1> and did partly reverted job. We reverted journal init codes, and kept cleanup codes flow.
