DEBIAN-CVE-2025-22113

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ext4: avoid journaling sb update on error if journal is destroying Presently we always BUGON if trying to start a transaction on a journal marked with JBD2UNMOUNT, since this should never happen. However, while ltp running stress tests, it was observed that in case of some error handling paths, it is possible for updatesuperwork to start a transaction after the journal is destroyed eg: (umount) ext4killsb killblocksuper genericshutdownsuper syncfilesystem /* commits all txns */ evictinodes /* might start a new txn / ext4_put_super flush_work(&sbi->s_sb_upd_work) / flush the workqueue / jbd2_journal_destroy journal_kill_thread journal->j_flags |= JBD2_UNMOUNT; jbd2_journal_commit_transaction jbd2_journal_get_descriptor_buffer jbd2_journal_bmap ext4_journal_bmap ext4_map_blocks ... ext4_inode_error ext4_handle_error schedule_work(&sbi->s_sb_upd_work) / work queue kicks in */ updatesuperwork jbd2journalstart startthishandle BUGON(journal->jflags & JBD2UNMOUNT) Hence, introduce a new mount flag to indicate journal is destroying and only do a journaled (and deferred) update of sb if this flag is not set. Otherwise, just fallback to an un-journaled commit. Further, in the journal destroy path, we have the following sequence: 1. Set mount flag indicating journal is destroying 2. force a commit and wait for it 3. flush pending sb updates This sequence is important as it ensures that, after this point, there is no sb update that might be journaled so it is safe to update the sb outside the journal. (To avoid race discussed in 2d01ddc86606) Also, we don't need a similar check in ext4grplockederror since it is only called from mballoc and AFAICT it would be always valid to schedule work here.
