In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ocfs2: fix race between searching chunks and release journal_head from buffer_head
Encountered a race between ocfs2_test_bg_bit_allocatable() and
jbd2_journal_put_journal_head() resulting in the below vmcore.
PID: 106879 TASK: ffff880244ba9c00 CPU: 2 COMMAND: "loop3"

When ocfs2_test_bg_bit_allocatable() called bh2jh(bg_bh), the
bg_bh->b_private NULL as jbd2_journal_put_journal_head() raced and
released the jounal head from the buffer head. Needed to take bit lock
for the bit 'BH_JournalHead' to fix this race.
