commit 5c48a7df91499e371ef725895b2e2d21a126e227 upstream.
Our syzkaller report an use-after-free issue that accessing the freed
buffer_head on the writeback page in __ext4_journalled_writepage(). The
problem is that if there was a truncate racing with the data=journalled
writeback procedure, the writeback length could become zero and
bget_one() refuse to get buffer_head's refcount, then the truncate
procedure release buffer once we drop page lock, finally, the last
ext4_walk_page_buffers() trigger the use-after-free problem.
sync truncate
ext4_sync_file()
file_write_and_wait_range()
ext4_setattr(0)
inode->i_size = 0
ext4_writepage()
len = 0
__ext4_journalled_writepage()
page_bufs = page_buffers(page)
ext4_walk_page_buffers(bget_one) <- does not get refcount
do_invalidatepage()
free_buffer_head()
ext4_walk_page_buffers(page_bufs) <- trigger use-after-free
After commit bdf96838aea6 ("ext4: fix race between truncate and
__ext4_journalled_writepage()"), we have already handled the racing
case, so the bget_one() and bput_one() are not needed. So this patch
simply remove these hunk, and recheck the i_size to make it safe.

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.
