jfs_mount_rw can call diUnmount and then diMount. These calls change the imap pointer. Between these two calls there may be calls of function jfs_lookup(). The jfs_lookup() function calls jfs_iget(), which, in turn calls diRead(). The latter references the imap pointer. That may cause diRead() to refer to a pointer freed in diUnmount(). This commit makes the calls to diUnmount()/diMount() atomic so that nothing will read the imap pointer until the whole remount is completed.

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.
