[PATCH] ocfs2: prevent release journal inode after journal shutdown
From: Edward Adam Davis
Date: Tue Aug 19 2025 - 09:45:51 EST
Before calling ocfs2_delete_osb(), ocfs2_journal_shutdown() has already
been executed in ocfs2_dismount_volume(), so osb->journal must be NULL.
Therefore, the following calltrace will inevitably fail when it reaches
jbd2_journal_release_jbd_inode().
ocfs2_dismount_volume()->
ocfs2_delete_osb()->
ocfs2_free_slot_info()->
__ocfs2_free_slot_info()->
evict()->
ocfs2_evict_inode()->
ocfs2_clear_inode()->
jbd2_journal_release_jbd_inode(osb->journal->j_journal,
Adding osb->journal checks will prevent UAF during the above execution path.
