The code cleaning transaction's lists of checkpoint buffers has a bug
where it increases bh refcount only after releasing
journal->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->t_checkpoint_io_list)
...
if (buffer_locked(bh)) {
<-- IO completes now, buffer gets unlocked -->
spin_unlock(&journal->j_list_lock);
spin_lock(&journal->j_list_lock);
__jbd2_journal_remove_checkpoint(jh);
spin_unlock(&journal->j_list_lock);
try_to_free_buffers(page);
get_bh(bh) <-- accesses freed bh
Fix the problem by grabbing bh reference before unlocking
journal->j_list_lock.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
