[PATCH] jfs: fix use-after-free in lbmIODone
From: Suresh K C
Date: Sat Apr 18 2026 - 00:44:20 EST
Add an atomic io_inflight counter and a wait queue (io_waitq) to
struct jfs_log to track in-flight I/O operations. This ensures that
lbmLogShutdown() waits for all pending log I/O to complete before
freeing log buffers, preventing a use-after-free race condition where
the loop device workqueue could still be reading from log buffer pages
that have already been freed.
The io_inflight counter is incremented in lbmRead() and lbmStartIO()
before submitting bios, and decremented in lbmIODone() after I/O
completion processing is finished.
