jbd2: don't mark block as modified if the handle is out of credits
Do not set the b_modified flag in block's journal head should not until after we're sure that jbd2_journal_dirty_metadat() will not abort with an error due to there not being enough space reserved in the jbd2 handle. Otherwise, future attempts to modify the buffer may lead a large number of spurious errors and warnings. This addresses CVE-2018-10883. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=200071Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> Cc: stable@kernel.org
