jbd2: free bh when descriptor block checksum fails

2014-11-14T16:47:57+00:00

commit 064d83892e9ba547f7d4eae22cbca066d95210ce upstream.

Free the buffer head if the journal descriptor block fails checksum
verification.

This is the jbd2 port of the e2fsprogs patch "e2fsck: free bh on csum
verify error in do_one_pass".

jbd2: fix infinite loop when recovering corrupt journal blocks

2014-09-05T23:28:36+00:00

commit 022eaa7517017efe4f6538750c2b59a804dc7df7 upstream.

When recovering the journal, don't fall into an infinite loop if we
encounter a corrupt journal block.  Instead, just skip the block and
return an error, which fails the mount and thus forces the user to run
a full filesystem fsck.

ext4: disable synchronous transaction batching if max_batch_time==0

2014-07-17T22:58:03+00:00

commit 5dd214248f94d430d70e9230bda72f2654ac88a8 upstream.

The mount manpage says of the max_batch_time option,

	This optimization can be turned off entirely
	by setting max_batch_time to 0.

But the code doesn't do that.  So fix the code to do
that.

jbd2: don't BUG but return ENOSPC if a handle runs out of space

2014-01-09T20:24:24+00:00

commit f6c07cad081ba222d63623d913aafba5586c1d2c upstream.

If a handle runs out of space, we currently stop the kernel with a BUG
in jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata().  This makes it hard to figure out
what might be going on.  So return an error of ENOSPC, so we can let
the file system layer figure out what is going on, to make it more
likely we can get useful debugging information).  This should make it
easier to debug problems such as the one which was reported by:

    https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44731

The only two callers of this function are ext4_handle_dirty_metadata()
and ocfs2_journal_dirty().  The ocfs2 function will trigger a
BUG_ON(), which means there will be no change in behavior.  The ext4
function will call ext4_error_inode() which will print the useful
debugging information and then handle the situation using ext4's error
handling mechanisms (i.e., which might mean halting the kernel or
remounting the file system read-only).

Also, since both file systems already call WARN_ON(), drop the WARN_ON
from jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata() to avoid two stack traces from
being displayed.

jbd2: fix theoretical race in jbd2__journal_restart

2013-07-22T01:21:22+00:00

commit 39c04153fda8c32e85b51c96eb5511a326ad7609 upstream.

Once we decrement transaction->t_updates, if this is the last handle
holding the transaction from closing, and once we release the
t_handle_lock spinlock, it's possible for the transaction to commit
and be released.  In practice with normal kernels, this probably won't
happen, since the commit happens in a separate kernel thread and it's
unlikely this could all happen within the space of a few CPU cycles.

On the other hand, with a real-time kernel, this could potentially
happen, so save the tid found in transaction->t_tid before we release
t_handle_lock.  It would require an insane configuration, such as one
where the jbd2 thread was set to a very high real-time priority,
perhaps because a high priority real-time thread is trying to read or
write to a file system.  But some people who use real-time kernels
have been known to do insane things, including controlling
laser-wielding industrial robots.  :-)

jbd2: move superblock checksum calculation to jbd2_write_superblock()

2013-07-22T01:21:22+00:00

commit fe52d17cdd343ac43c85cf72940a58865b9d3bfb upstream.

Some of the functions which modify the jbd2 superblock were not
updating the checksum before calling jbd2_write_superblock().  Move
the call to jbd2_superblock_csum_set() to jbd2_write_superblock(), so
that the checksum is calculated consistently.

'init_buffer(bh, NULL, NULL)' and perform other set-zero-operations.

jbd2: trace when lock_buffer in do_get_write_access takes a long time

2013-04-21T20:47:54+00:00

While investigating interactivity problems it was clear that processes
sometimes stall for long periods of times if an attempt is made to

a trace looking something like
