In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
jbd2: fix data-race and null-ptr-deref in jbd2journaldirty_metadata()
Since handle->htransaction may be a NULL pointer, so we should change it to call ishandle_aborted(handle) first before dereferencing it.
And the following data-race was reported in my fuzzer:
================================================================== BUG: KCSAN: data-race in jbd2journaldirtymetadata / jbd2journaldirtymetadata
write to 0xffff888011024104 of 4 bytes by task 10881 on cpu 1: jbd2journaldirtymetadata+0x2a5/0x770 fs/jbd2/transaction.c:1556 _ext4handledirtymetadata+0xe7/0x4b0 fs/ext4/ext4jbd2.c:358 ext4doupdateinode fs/ext4/inode.c:5220 [inline] ext4markilocdirty+0x32c/0xd50 fs/ext4/inode.c:5869 _ext4markinodedirty+0xe1/0x450 fs/ext4/inode.c:6074 ext4dirtyinode+0x98/0xc0 fs/ext4/inode.c:6103 ....

This issue is caused by missing data-race annotation for jh->b_modified. Therefore, the missing annotation needs to be added.
