Bob Peterson fd8b4e28f4 gfs2: Don't deref jdesc in evict 
[ Upstream commit 504a10d9e4 ]

On corrupt gfs2 file systems the evict code can try to reference the
journal descriptor structure, jdesc, after it has been freed and set to
NULL. The sequence of events is:

init_journal()
...
fail_jindex:
   gfs2_jindex_free(sdp); <------frees journals, sets jdesc = NULL
      if (gfs2_holder_initialized(&ji_gh))
         gfs2_glock_dq_uninit(&ji_gh);
fail:
   iput(sdp->sd_jindex); <--references jdesc in evict_linked_inode
      evict()
         gfs2_evict_inode()
            evict_linked_inode()
               ret = gfs2_trans_begin(sdp, 0, sdp->sd_jdesc->jd_blocks);
<------references the now freed/zeroed sd_jdesc pointer.

The call to gfs2_trans_begin is done because the truncate_inode_pages
call can cause gfs2 events that require a transaction, such as removing
journaled data (jdata) blocks from the journal.

This patch fixes the problem by adding a check for sdp->sd_jdesc to
function gfs2_evict_inode. In theory, this should only happen to corrupt
gfs2 file systems, when gfs2 detects the problem, reports it, then tries
to evict all the system inodes it has read in up to that point.

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.
