journal: map objects to context set by caller, not by actual object type
When the caller of journal_file_move_to_object() specifies type==0, the object header is at first mapped in context 0. Then after the header is checked, the whole object is mapped in a context determined by the actual object type (which is not even range-checked using type_to_context()). This looks wrong. It should map in the caller-specified context. An old comment in sd_journal_enumerate_unique() supports this view: /* We do not use the type context here, but 0 instead, * so that we can look at this data object at the same * time as one on another file */ Clearly the expectation was that the data object will remain mapped in context 0 without being pushed away by mapping other objects in context OBJECT_DATA. I suspect that this was the real bug that got fixed by ae97089d49 "journal: fix access to munmapped memory in sd_journal_enumerate_unique". In other words, journal_file_object_keep/release are superfluous after applying this patch.
