The functions txEnd() and txExit() can be concurrently executed in the
following call contexts:
Thread1:
jfs_lazycommit()
txLazyCommit()
txEnd()
Thread2:
exit_jfs_fs()
txExit()
In txEnd():
struct tblock *tblk = tid_to_tblock(tid);
// #define tid_to_tblock(tid) (&TxBlock[tid])
In txExit():
vfree(TxBlock);
TxBlock = NULL;
Data races can occur for the global variable TxBlock, and they
can cause use-after-free bugs and null-pointer dereferences.
These data races were found by our concurrency fuzzer.
Thus call txExit() after the filesystem stops the threads
that run jfs_lazycommit().
