Zhihao Cheng 60eb3b9c9f ubifs: Fix 'ui->dirty' race between do_tmpfile() and writeback work
'ui->dirty' is not protected by 'ui_mutex' in function do_tmpfile() which
may race with ubifs_write_inode[wb_workfn] to access/update 'ui->dirty',
finally dirty space is released twice.

	open(O_TMPFILE)                wb_workfn
do_tmpfile
  ubifs_budget_space(ino_req = { .dirtied_ino = 1})
  d_tmpfile // mark inode(tmpfile) dirty
  ubifs_jnl_update // without holding tmpfile's ui_mutex
    mark_inode_clean(ui)
      if (ui->dirty)
        ubifs_release_dirty_inode_budget(ui)  // release first time
                                   ubifs_write_inode
				     mutex_lock(&ui->ui_mutex)
                                     ubifs_release_dirty_inode_budget(ui)
				     // release second time
				     mutex_unlock(&ui->ui_mutex)
      ui->dirty = 0

Run generic/476 can reproduce following message easily
(See reproducer in [Link]):

  UBIFS error (ubi0:0 pid 2578): ubifs_assert_failed [ubifs]: UBIFS assert

Fix it by holding tmpfile ubifs inode lock during ubifs_jnl_update().
Similar problem exists in whiteout renaming, but previous fix("ubifs:
Rename whiteout atomically") has solved the problem.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
