From: Xiaxi Shen <shenxiaxi26@gmail.com> mainline inclusion from mainline-v6.12-rc1 commit 0ce160c5bdb67081a62293028dc85758a8efb22a category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/src-openeuler/kernel/issues/IAYRD8 CVE: CVE-2024-49960 Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?i... -------------------------------- Syzbot has found an ODEBUG bug in ext4_fill_super The del_timer_sync function cancels the s_err_report timer, which reminds about filesystem errors daily. We should guarantee the timer is no longer active before kfree(sbi). When filesystem mounting fails, the flow goes to failed_mount3, where an error occurs when ext4_stop_mmpd is called, causing a read I/O failure. This triggers the ext4_handle_error function that ultimately re-arms the timer, leaving the s_err_report timer active before kfree(sbi) is called. Fix the issue by canceling the s_err_report timer after calling ext4_stop_mmpd.
