jbd2: Fix unreclaimed pages after truncate in data=journal mode
Ted and Namjae have reported that truncated pages don't get timely reclaimed after being truncated in data=journal mode. The following test triggers the issue easily: for (i = 0; i < 1000; i++) { pwrite(fd, buf, 1024*1024, 0); fsync(fd); fsync(fd); ftruncate(fd, 0); } The reason is that journal_unmap_buffer() finds that truncated buffers are not journalled (jh->b_transaction == NULL), they are part of checkpoint list of a transaction (jh->b_cp_transaction != NULL) and have been already written out (!buffer_dirty(bh)). We clean such buffers but we leave them in the checkpoint list. Since checkpoint transaction holds a reference to the journal head, these buffers cannot be released until the checkpoint transaction is cleaned up. And at that point we don't call release_buffer_page() anymore so pages detached from mapping are lingering in the system waiting for reclaim to find them and free them. Fix the problem by removing buffers from transaction checkpoint lists when journal_unmap_buffer() finds out they don't have to be there anymore.
