[PATCH 5.4 082/135] ext4: fix potential race between s_group_info online resizing and access

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu Feb 27 2020 - 09:10:16 EST


From: Suraj Jitindar Singh <surajjs@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit df3da4ea5a0fc5d115c90d5aa6caa4dd433750a7 upstream.

During an online resize an array of pointers to s_group_info gets replaced
so it can get enlarged. If there is a concurrent access to the array in
ext4_get_group_info() and this memory has been reused then this can lead to
an invalid memory access.
