commit ccd3c4373eacb044eb3832966299d13d2631f66f upstream.

The code cleaning transaction's lists of checkpoint buffers has a bug
where it increases bh refcount only after releasing
journal-&gt;j_list_lock. Thus the following race is possible:

CPU0					CPU1
jbd2_log_do_checkpoint()
					jbd2_journal_try_to_free_buffers()
					  __journal_try_to_free_buffer(bh)
  ...
  while (transaction-&gt;t_checkpoint_io_list)
  ...
    if (buffer_locked(bh)) {

&lt;-- IO completes now, buffer gets unlocked --&gt;

      spin_unlock(&amp;journal-&gt;j_list_lock);
					    spin_lock(&amp;journal-&gt;j_list_lock);
					    __jbd2_journal_remove_checkpoint(jh);
					    spin_unlock(&amp;journal-&gt;j_list_lock);
					  try_to_free_buffers(page);
      get_bh(bh) &lt;-- accesses freed bh

Fix the problem by grabbing bh reference before unlocking
journal-&gt;j_list_lock.

Fixes: dc6e8d669cf5 ("jbd2: don't call get_bh() before calling __jbd2_journal_remove_checkpoint()")
Fixes: be1158cc615f ("jbd2: fold __process_buffer() into jbd2_log_do_checkpoint()")

commit e09463f220ca9a1a1ecfda84fcda658f99a1f12a upstream.

Do not set the b_modified flag in block's journal head should not
until after we're sure that jbd2_journal_dirty_metadat() will not
abort with an error due to there not being enough space reserved in
the jbd2 handle.

Otherwise, future attempts to modify the buffer may lead a large
number of spurious errors and warnings.

This addresses CVE-2018-10883.

<title>ext4: set h_journal if there is a failure starting a reserved handle</title>

commit b2569260d55228b617bd82aba6d0db2faeeb4116 upstream.

If ext4 tries to start a reserved handle via
jbd2_journal_start_reserved(), and the journal has been aborted, this
can result in a NULL pointer dereference.  This is because the fields
h_journal and h_transaction in the handle structure share the same
memory, via a union, so jbd2_journal_start_reserved() will clear
h_journal before calling start_this_handle().  If this function fails
due to an aborted handle, h_journal will still be NULL, and the call
to jbd2_journal_free_reserved() will pass a NULL journal to
sub_reserve_credits().

This can be reproduced by running "kvm-xfstests -c dioread_nolock
generic/475".

commit dbfcef6b0f4012c57bc0b6e0e660d5ed12a5eaed upstream.

Below is the synchronization issue between unmount and kjournald2
contexts, which results into use after free issue in kjournald2().
Fix this issue by using journal-&gt;j_state_lock to synchronize the
wait_event() done in journal_kill_thread() and the wake_up() done
in kjournald2().

TASK 1:
umount cmd:
   |--jbd2_journal_destroy() {
       |--journal_kill_thread() {
            write_lock(&amp;journal-&gt;j_state_lock);
	    journal-&gt;j_flags |= JBD2_UNMOUNT;
	    ...
	    write_unlock(&amp;journal-&gt;j_state_lock);
	    wake_up(&amp;journal-&gt;j_wait_commit);	   TASK 2 wakes up here:
	    					   kjournald2() {
						     ...
						     checks JBD2_UNMOUNT flag and calls goto end-loop;
						     ...
						     end_loop:
						       write_unlock(&amp;journal-&gt;j_state_lock);
						       journal-&gt;j_task = NULL; --&gt; If this thread gets
						       pre-empted here, then TASK 1 wait_event will
						       exit even before this thread is completely
						       done.
	    wait_event(journal-&gt;j_wait_done_commit, journal-&gt;j_task == NULL);
	    ...
	    write_lock(&amp;journal-&gt;j_state_lock);
	    write_unlock(&amp;journal-&gt;j_state_lock);
	  }
       |--kfree(journal);
     }
}
						       wake_up(&amp;journal-&gt;j_wait_done_commit); --&gt; this step
						       now results into use after free issue.
						   }

This updates the jbd2 superblock unnecessarily, and on an abort we

commit e112666b4959b25a8552d63bc564e1059be703e8 upstream.

If the journal has been aborted, we shouldn't mark the underlying
buffer head as dirty, since that will cause the metadata block to get
modified.  And if the journal has been aborted, we shouldn't allow
this since it will almost certainly lead to a corrupted file system.

commit abcfb5d979892fc8b12574551fc907c05fe1b11b upstream.

The jbd2 journal stores the commit time in 64-bit seconds and 32-bit
nanoseconds, which avoids an overflow in 2038, but it gets the numbers
from current_kernel_time(), which uses 'long' seconds on 32-bit
architectures.

This simply changes the code to call current_kernel_time64() so
we use 64-bit seconds consistently.

commit c0a2ad9b50dd80eeccd73d9ff962234590d5ec93 upstream.

On umount path, jbd2_journal_destroy() writes latest transaction ID
(-&gt;j_tail_sequence) to be used at next mount.

The bug is that -&gt;j_tail_sequence is not holding latest transaction ID
in some cases. So, at next mount, there is chance to conflict with
remaining (not overwritten yet) transactions.

	mount (id=10)
	write transaction (id=11)
	write transaction (id=12)
	umount (id=10) &lt;= the bug doesn't write latest ID

	mount (id=10)
	write transaction (id=11)
	crash

	mount
	[recovery process]
		transaction (id=11)
		transaction (id=12) &lt;= valid transaction ID, but old commit
                                       must not replay

Like above, this bug become the cause of recovery failure, or FS
corruption.

So why -&gt;j_tail_sequence doesn't point latest ID?

Because if checkpoint transactions was reclaimed by memory pressure
(i.e. bdev_try_to_free_page()), then -&gt;j_tail_sequence is not updated.
(And another case is, __jbd2_journal_clean_checkpoint_list() is called
with empty transaction.)

So in above cases, -&gt;j_tail_sequence is not pointing latest
transaction ID at umount path. Plus, REQ_FLUSH for checkpoint is not
done too.

So, to fix this problem with minimum changes, this patch updates
-&gt;j_tail_sequence, and issue REQ_FLUSH.  (With more complex changes,
some optimizations would be possible to avoid unnecessary REQ_FLUSH
for example though.)

BTW,

	journal-&gt;j_tail_sequence =
		++journal-&gt;j_transaction_sequence;

Increment of -&gt;j_transaction_sequence seems to be unnecessary, but
ext3 does this.
