Detail

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

jbd2: fix data-race and null-ptr-deref in jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata()

Since handle->h_transaction may be a NULL pointer, so we should change it to call is_handle_aborted(handle) first before dereferencing it.

And the following data-race was reported in my fuzzer:

================================================================== BUG: KCSAN: data-race in jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata / jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata

value changed: 0x00000000 -> 0x00000001 ==================================================================

This issue is caused by missing data-race annotation for jh->b_modified. Therefore, the missing annotation needs to be added.
