Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
jbd2: fix potential buffer head reference count leak
As in 'jbd2_fc_wait_bufs' if buffer isn't uptodate, will return -EIO without
update 'journal->j_fc_off'. But 'jbd2_fc_release_bufs' will release buffer head
from ‘j_fc_off - 1’ if 'bh' is NULL will terminal release which will lead to
buffer head buffer head reference count leak.
To solve above issue, update 'journal->j_fc_off' before return -EIO.
