[ Analysis ]
We believe that we have found a concurrency bug in the
fs/jfsmodule that results in a null pointer dereference. There is a closely related issue which has been fixed:https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=d6c1b3599b2feb5c7291f5ac3a36e5fa7cedb234
... but, unfortunately, the accepted patch appears to still be susceptible to a null pointer dereference under some interleavings.
To trigger the bug, we think that
JFS_SBI(ipbmap->i_sb)->bmapis set to NULL indbFreeBitsand then dereferenced injfs_ioc_trim. This bug manifests quite rarely under normal circumstances, but is triggereable from a syz-program. - References
