From d9f0ce85261f8f2ba8a5a97e397f6f07bf5a3b87 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiufei Xue Date: Thu, 14 Mar 2019 23:19:22 -0400 Subject: ext4: fix NULL pointer dereference while journal is aborted commit fa30dde38aa8628c73a6dded7cb0bba38c27b576 upstream. We see the following NULL pointer dereference while running xfstests generic/475: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000008 PGD 8000000c84bad067 P4D 8000000c84bad067 PUD c84e62067 PMD 0 Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI CPU: 7 PID: 9886 Comm: fsstress Kdump: loaded Not tainted 5.0.0-rc8 #10 RIP: 0010:ext4_do_update_inode+0x4ec/0x760 ...

I found that the h_transaction was set to NULL in jbd2__journal_restart but failed to attached to a new transaction while the journal is aborted. Fix this by checking the handle before updating the inode.
