Syzkaller uses faultinject to reproduce this KASAN double-free warning. The issue is triggered if either diMount() or dbMount() fail in jfs_remount(), since diUnmount() or dbUnmount() already happened in such a case - they will do double-free on next execution: jfs_umount or jfs_remount. Tested on both upstream and jfs-next by syzkaller.

No network or adjacent-network path exists into JFS mount handling.\nAC:L - The attacker deterministically forces dbMount() to fail on the remount re-read, because jfs_mount_rw() calls truncate_inode_pages() on ipbmap first: mutating the backing store so the bmap descriptor fails the sanity checks yields -EINVAL, and truncating it yields -EIO from read_metapage(). No race and no condition outside the attacker\u0027s control is involved.\nPR:L - Untrusted JFS media is routinely mounted and remounted on behalf of unprivileged users on kiosks, embedded/automotive and Android-class devices via udisks/autofs and mount-ro-then-remount-rw boot flows, and semi-privileged container/service contexts can drive the same path; consistent with sibling JFS crafted-image CVEs, a low-privileged local actor is assumed rather than full init-namespace root.\nUI:N - The attacker drives the whole sequence \u2014 mount read-only, remount read-write with a poisoned/erroring backing store, then unmount \u2014 with no victim action required at any step.\nS:U - The freed struct bmap, the slab it lives in, and all corrupted state belong to the kernel\u0027s own memory-management authority; no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - Before the second kfree(), dbSync() reads the already-freed bmap and writes over a kilobyte of its contents \u2014 including all 128 db_agfree[] entries \u2014 into the on-disk bmap descriptor, which the attacker reads back from the device, leaking freed kernel heap memory; the double-free itself further yields arbitrary read via overlapping allocations.\nI:H - A double-free of a ~1.6 KiB object in the sprayable kmalloc-2k cache lets the attacker reclaim it and hand two owners the same allocation, a classic type-confusion path to arbitrary kernel write; additionally, since jfs_remount() clears SB_RDONLY even on failure, dbAlloc()/dbFree() subsequently write through the dangling bmap pointer.\nA:H - The bug was reported by syzbot as a KASAN double-free that corrupts SLUB freelist state; with freelist hardening or slub_debug this is an immediate kernel panic, and unchecked it produces allocator corruption and crashes."
