[PATCH 5.17 31/39] jbd2: fix use-after-free of transaction_t race

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

 



From: Ritesh Harjani <riteshh@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit cc16eecae687912238ee6efbff71ad31e2bc414e upstream.

jbd2_journal_wait_updates() is called with j_state_lock held. But if
there is a commit in progress, then this transaction might get committed
and freed via jbd2_journal_commit_transaction() ->
jbd2_journal_free_transaction(), when we release j_state_lock.
So check for journal->j_running_transaction everytime we release and
acquire j_state_lock to avoid use-after-free issue.

Fixes: 4f98186848707f53 ("jbd2: refactor wait logic for transaction updates into a common function")
