Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

jbd2: fix assertion 'jh->b_frozen_data == NULL' failure when journal aborted

Following process will fail assertion 'jh->b_frozen_data == NULL' in
jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata():

jbd2_journal_commit_transaction
unlink(dir/a)
jh->b_transaction = trans1
jh->b_jlist = BJ_Metadata
journal->j_running_transaction = NULL
trans1->t_state = T_COMMIT
unlink(dir/b)
handle->h_trans = trans2
do_get_write_access
jh->b_modified = 0
jh->b_frozen_data = frozen_buffer
jh->b_next_transaction = trans2
jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata
is_handle_aborted
is_journal_aborted // return false

--> jbd2 abort <--

while (commit_transaction->t_buffers)
if (is_journal_aborted)
jbd2_journal_refile_buffer
__jbd2_journal_refile_buffer
WRITE_ONCE(jh->b_transaction,
jh->b_next_transaction)
WRITE_ONCE(jh->b_next_transaction, NULL)
__jbd2_journal_file_buffer(jh, BJ_Reserved)
J_ASSERT_JH(jh, jh->b_frozen_data == NULL) // assertion failure !

The reproducer (See detail in [Link]) reports:

After journal aborting, __jbd2_journal_refile_buffer() is executed with
holding @jh->b_state_lock, we can fix it by moving 'is_handle_aborted()'
into the area protected by @jh->b_state_lock.
