      "summary": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\njbd2: stop waiting for space when jbd2_cleanup_journal_tail() returns error\n\nIn __jbd2_log_wait_for_space(), we might call jbd2_cleanup_journal_tail()\nto recover some journal space. But if an error occurs while executing\njbd2_cleanup_journal_tail() (e.g., an EIO), we don't stop waiting for free\nspace right away, we try other branches, and if j_committing_transaction\nis NULL (i.e., the tid is 0), we will get the following complain:\n\n============================================\nJBD2: I/O error when updating journal superblock for sdd-8.\n__jbd2_log_wait_for_space: needed 256 blocks and only had 217 space available\n__jbd2_log_wait_for_space: no way to get more journal space in sdd-8\n------------[ cut here ]------------\nWARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 139804 at fs/jbd2/checkpoint.c:109 __jbd2_log_wait_for_space+0x251/0x2e0\nModules linked in:\nCPU: 2 PID: 139804 Comm: kworker/u8:3 Not tainted 6.6.0+ #1\nRIP: 0010:__jbd2_log_wait_for_space+0x251/0x2e0\nCall Trace:\n <TASK>\n add_transaction_credits+0x5d1/0x5e0\n start_this_handle+0x1ef/0x6a0\n jbd2__journal_start+0x18b/0x340\n ext4_dirty_inode+0x5d/0xb0\n __mark_inode_dirty+0xe4/0x5d0\n generic_update_time+0x60/0x70\n[...]\n============================================\n\nSo only if jbd2_cleanup_journal_tail() returns 1, i.e., there is nothing to\nclean up at the moment, continue to try to reclaim free space in other ways.\n\nNote that this fix relies on commit 6f6a6fda2945 (\"jbd2: fix ocfs2 corrupt\nwhen updating journal superblock fails\") to make jbd2_cleanup_journal_tail\nreturn the correct error code.",
