[PATCH 3.13.y-ckt 27/86] ext4: fix potential use after free in __ext4_journal_stop

From: Kamal Mostafa

3.13.11-ckt31 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Lukas Czerner <lczerner@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 6934da9238da947628be83635e365df41064b09b upstream.

There is a use-after-free possibility in __ext4_journal_stop() in the
case that we free the handle in the first jbd2_journal_stop() because
we're referencing handle->h_err afterwards. This was introduced in
9705acd63b125dee8b15c705216d7186daea4625 and it is wrong. Fix it by
storing the handle->h_err value beforehand and avoid referencing
potentially freed handle.

Fixes: 9705acd63b125dee8b15c705216d7186daea4625
