We met a crash issue when testing nbd device on kernel 4.14.0-115,
the scenario of the issue is "nbd device disconnected before unmounting
ext4 filesystem".
The call trace of the crash as below:
[346961.426274] block nbd2: Connection timed out

				    b_jcount offset in 'struct journal_head' is 0x8
        }
        jbd_unlock_bh_journal_head(bh);
        return jh;

According to the logical in above code, buffer_head has an attached
journal_head("buffer_jbd(bh)" is true), but buffer_head doesn't record
it(bh->b_private is NULL).
So testing if "buffer_jbd(bh)" is true can't guarantee "bh->b_private"
is not NULL under the abnormal test case.

Thanks for the report and the patch but this is not the right way how to
fix the problem. The buffer shouldn't have BH_JBD bit set when
bh->b_private is NULL. Furthermore looking at the call stack
__jbd2_journal_insert_checkpoint() already holds the journal_head we are
interested in so it rather looks like we race with invalidation of the
block device buffer cache after NBD device disappeared. There were some
changes in the lifetime of the block devices after 4.14. Can you reproduce
the issue with some more recent kernel because I suspect the problem may be
already fixed. Anyway the right fix is to make sure NBD does not destroy
buffers while the filesystem is still using them...
