    GFS2: Fixing double brelse'ing bh allocated in gfs2_meta_read when EIO occurs · 44b8db13
    Masatake YAMATO 提交于
    This patch fixes buffer_head double free in following code path:
    
    gfs2_block_map
    => gfs2_meta_inode_buffer
     => gfs2_meta_indirect_buffer
      => gfs2_meta_read
    => release_metapath
    
    gfs2_block_map calls gfs2_meta_inode_buffer with &mp.mp_bh[0]
    as an argument. mp.mp_bh are filled with zero at the beginning
    of gfs2_block_map.
    
    If gfs2_meta_inode_buffer returns non-zero value, gfs2_block_map
    calls release_metapath to free buffers chained to mp.mp_bh.
    release_metapath checks each slot of mp.mp_bh[i] and
    free(with brelse) unless the slot is filled with NULL.
    
    &mp.mp_bh[0] passed to gfs2_meta_inode_buffer is filled at
    gfs2_meta_read. gfs2_meta_read is filled a buffer allocated with
    gfs2_getbuf even if EIO occurs. When EIO occurs, the allocated buffer
    is brelse'ed though the pointer(wrong poiner) points the brelse'ed is
    passed back to caller via an argument bhp.
    
    gfs2_meta_indirect_buffer, the caller also pass the wrong pointer
    to its caller with EIO. Finally gfs2_block_map gets both EIO and
    &mp.mp_bh[0] filled with the wrong pointer. release_metapath
    calls brelse again on the wrong pointer.
