Commit904cdbd41d("jbd2: clear dirty flag when revoking a buffer from an older transaction") set the BH_Freed flag when forgetting a metadata buffer which belongs to the committing transaction, it indicate the committing process clear dirty bits when it is done with the buffer. But it also clear the BH_Mapped flag at the same time, which may trigger below NULL pointer oops when block_size < PAGE_SIZE. rmdir 1 kjournald2 mkdir 2 jbd2_journal_commit_transaction commit transaction N jbd2_journal_forget set_buffer_freed(bh1) jbd2_journal_commit_transaction commit transaction N+1 ... clear_buffer_mapped(bh1) ext4_getblk(bh2 ummapped) ... grow_dev_page init_page_buffers bh1->b_private=NULL bh2->b_private=NULL jbd2_journal_put_journal_head(jh1) __journal_remove_journal_head(hb1) jh1 is NULL and trigger oops *) Dir entry block bh1 and bh2 belongs to one page, and the bh2 has already been unmapped. For the metadata buffer we forgetting, we should always keep the mapped flag and clear the dirty flags is enough, so this patch pick out the these buffers and keep their BH_Mapped flag.

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.
