[PATCH 5.11 112/120] ext4: fix timer use-after-free on failed mount

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

 



From: Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxx>

commit 2a4ae3bcdf05b8639406eaa09a2939f3c6dd8e75 upstream.

When filesystem mount fails because of corrupted filesystem we first
cancel the s_err_report timer reminding fs errors every day and only
then we flush s_error_work. However s_error_work may report another fs
error and re-arm timer thus resulting in timer use-after-free. Fix the
problem by first flushing the work and only after that canceling the
s_err_report timer.
