Subject: [PATCH] jfs: fix use-after-free on log shutdown
Author: mashiro.chen@xxxxxxxxxxx
During JFS log shutdown, log buffer pages can be freed while lower-layer
loop workers are still copying from them, triggering a use-after-free
reported by syzbot in copy_folio_from_iter_atomic().
Track in-flight log I/O in struct jfs_log and wait for completion before
freeing log buffers. Add io_inflight/io_waitq, increment io_inflight
before submitting BIOs in lbmRead() and lbmStartIO(), and decrement it
in lbmIODone() at the unified out: label, which all completion paths
including READ, DIRECT, synchronous, GC, asynchronous converge on.
This closes the teardown race between buffer page free and late I/O
completion.
