Normally, we have to issue a cache flush before we can update journal tail in journal superblock, effectively wiping out old transactions from the journal. So use the fact that during transaction commit we issue cache flush anyway and opportunistically push journal tail as far as we can. Since update of journal superblock is still costly (we have to use WRITE_FUA), we update log tail only if we can free significant amount of space.

All accesses to checkpointing entries in journal_head are protected by j_list_lock. Thus __jbd2_journal_remove_checkpoint() doesn't really need bh_state lock. Also the only part of journal head that the rest of checkpointing code needs to check is jh->b_transaction which is safe to read under j_list_lock. So we can safely remove bh_state lock from all of checkpointing code which makes it considerably prettier. Signed-off-by: NJan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: N"Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

BH_JWrite bit should be set when buffer is written to the journal. So checkpointing shouldn't set this bit when writing out buffer. This didn't cause any observable bug since BH_JWrite bit is used only for debugging purposes but it's good to have this consistent.

When we reach jbd2_cleanup_journal_tail(), there is no guarantee that checkpointed buffers are on a stable storage - especially if buffers were written out by jbd2_log_do_checkpoint(), they are likely to be only in disk's caches. Thus when we update journal superblock effectively removing old transaction from journal, this write of superblock can get to stable storage before those checkpointed buffers which can result in filesystem corruption after a crash. Thus we must unconditionally issue a cache flush before we update journal superblock in these cases. A similar problem can also occur if journal superblock is written only in disk's caches, other transaction starts reusing space of the transaction cleaned from the log and power failure happens. Subsequent journal replay would still try to replay the old transaction but some of it's blocks may be already overwritten by the new transaction. For this reason we must use WRITE_FUA when updating log tail and we must first write new log tail to disk and update in-memory information only after that.

With the latest and greatest changes to the freezer, I started seeing panics that were caused by jbd2 running post-process freezing and hitting the canary BUG_ON for non-TuxOnIce I/O submission.

There are some log tail updates that are not protected by j_checkpoint_mutex. Some of these are harmless because they happen during startup or shutdown but updates in jbd2_journal_commit_transaction() and jbd2_journal_flush() can really race with other log tail updates (e.g. someone doing jbd2_journal_flush() with someone running jbd2_cleanup_journal_tail()).

In the first case, we want to mark journal as empty (setting s_sequence to 0), in the second case we want to update log tail, in the third case we want to update s_errno.

journal_unmap_buffer()'s zap_buffer: code clears a lot of buffer head state ala discard_buffer(), but does not touch _Delay or _Unwritten as discard_buffer() does. This can be problematic in some areas of the ext4 code which assume that if they have found a buffer marked unwritten or delay, then it's a live one. Perhaps those spots should check whether it is mapped as well, but if jbd2 is going to tear down a buffer, let's really tear it down completely. Without this I get some fsx failures on sub-page-block filesystems up until v3.2, at which point 4e96b2db and 189e868f make the failures go away, because buried within that large change is some more flag clearing. I still think it's worth doing in jbd2, since ->invalidatepage leads here directly, and it's the right place to clear away these flags.

Currently, we clear revoked flag only when a block is reused. However, this can tigger a false journal error. Consider a situation when a block is used as a meta block and is deleted(revoked) in ordered mode, then the block is allocated as a data block to a file. At this moment, user changes the file's journal mode from ordered to journaled and truncates the file. The block will be considered re-revoked by journal because it has revoked flag still pending from the last transaction and an assertion triggers. We fix the problem by keeping the revoked status more uptodate - we clear revoked flag when switching revoke tables to reflect there is no revoked buffers in current transaction any more.

I hit a J_ASSERT(blocknr != 0) failure in cleanup_journal_tail() when mounting a fsfuzzed ext3 image. It turns out that the corrupted ext3 image has s_first = 0 in journal superblock, and the 0 is passed to journal->j_head in journal_reset(), then to blocknr in cleanup_journal_tail(), in the end the J_ASSERT failed. So validate s_first after reading journal superblock from disk in journal_get_superblock() to ensure s_first is valid.

Add debugging information in case jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata() is called with a buffer_head which didn't have jbd2_journal_get_write_access() called on it, or if the journal_head has the wrong transaction in it. In addition, return an error code. This won't change anything for ocfs2, which will BUG_ON() the non-zero exit code. For ext4, the caller of this function is ext4_handle_dirty_metadata(), and on seeing a non-zero return code, will call __ext4_journal_stop(), which will print the function and line number of the (buggy) calling function and abort the journal. This will allow us to recover instead of bug halting, which is better from a robustness and reliability point of view. Signed-off-by: N"Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

jbd2_journal_remove_journal_head() can oops when trying to access journal_head returned by bh2jh(). This is caused for example by the following race: TASK1 TASK2 jbd2_journal_commit_transaction() ... processing t_forget list __jbd2_journal_refile_buffer(jh); if (!jh->b_transaction) { jbd_unlock_bh_state(bh); jbd2_journal_try_to_free_buffers() jbd2_journal_grab_journal_head(bh) jbd_lock_bh_state(bh) __journal_try_to_free_buffer() jbd2_journal_put_journal_head(jh) jbd2_journal_remove_journal_head(bh); jbd2_journal_put_journal_head() in TASK2 sees that b_jcount == 0 and buffer is not part of any transaction and thus frees journal_head before TASK1 gets to doing so. Note that even buffer_head can be released by try_to_free_buffers() after jbd2_journal_put_journal_head() which adds even larger opportunity for oops (but I didn't see this happen in reality). Fix the problem by making transactions hold their own journal_head reference (in b_jcount). That way we don't have to remove journal_head explicitely via jbd2_journal_remove_journal_head() and instead just remove journal_head when b_jcount drops to zero. The result of this is that [__]jbd2_journal_refile_buffer(), [__]jbd2_journal_unfile_buffer(), and __jdb2_journal_remove_checkpoint() can free journal_head which needs modification of a few callers. Also we have to be careful because once journal_head is removed, buffer_head might be freed as well. So we have to get our own buffer_head reference where it matters.

In data=ordered mode, it's theoretically possible (however rare) that an inode is filed to transaction's t_inode_list and a flusher thread writes all the data and inode is reclaimed before the transaction starts to commit. In such a case, we could erroneously omit sending a flush to file system device when it is different from the journal device (because data can still be in disk cache only).

t_max_wait is added in commit 8e85fb3f to indicate how long we were waiting for new transaction to start. In commit 6d0bf005, it is moved to another function named update_t_max_wait to avoid a build warning. But the wrong thing is that the original 'ts' is initialized in the start of function start_this_handle and we can calculate t_max_wait in the right way. while with this change, ts is initialized within the function and t_max_wait can never be calculated right. This patch moves the initialization of ts to the original beginning of start_this_handle and pass it to function update_t_max_wait so that it can be calculated right and the build warning is avoided also.

If an application program does not make any changes to the indirect blocks or extent tree, i_datasync_tid will not get updated. If there are enough commits (i.e., 2**31) such that tid_geq()'s calculations wrap, and there isn't a currently active transaction at the time of the fdatasync() call, this can end up triggering a BUG_ON in fs/jbd2/commit.c: J_ASSERT(journal->j_running_transaction != NULL); It's pretty rare that this can happen, since it requires the use of fdatasync() plus *very* frequent and excessive use of fsync(). But with the right workload, it can. We fix this by replacing the use of tid_geq() with an equality test, since there's only one valid transaction id that we is valid for us to wait until it is commited: namely, the currently running transaction (if it exists).
