[PATCH] ocfs2: fix NULL deref in ocfs2_wait_for_recovery after recovery_exit
Posted by Jiakai Xu 6 days, 2 hours ago 
In ocfs2_recovery_exit(), the recovery_map is freed via kfree() but
osb->recovery_map is not set to NULL afterward. If ocfs2_wait_for_recovery()
is called subsequently (e.g. during inode eviction in the dismount path or
via a racing stat() syscall), ocfs2_recovery_completed() dereferences the
stale pointer, leading to a NULL pointer dereference at rm->rm_used.

Fix this by:
1. Setting osb->recovery_map = NULL after kfree() in ocfs2_recovery_exit()
2. Adding a NULL guard in ocfs2_recovery_completed() so that it safely
   returns "recovery completed" when the map has been freed

Fixes: 553abd046af6 ("ocfs2: Change the recovery map to an array of node numbers.")

Seems still cannot fully close the race?

Thanks,
