In one case, we eliminate a local variable; in the other a strlen() call and some .text.

insert_revoke_hash does an open coded endless allocation loop if journal_oom_retry is true. It doesn't implement any allocation fallback strategy between the retries, though. The memory allocator doesn't know about the never fail requirement so it cannot potentially help to move on with the allocation (e.g. use memory reserves). Get rid of the retry loop and use __GFP_NOFAIL instead. We will lose the debugging message but I am not sure it is anyhow helpful. Do the same for journal_alloc_journal_head which is doing a similar thing. Signed-off-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
If updating journal superblock fails after journal data has been flushed, the error is omitted and this will mislead the caller as a normal case. In ocfs2, the checkpoint will be treated successfully and the other node can get the lock to update. Since the sb_start is still pointing to the old log block, it will rewrite the journal data during journal recovery by the other node. Thus the new updates will be overwritten and ocfs2 corrupts. So in above case we have to return the error, and ocfs2_commit_cache will take care of the error and prevent the other node to do update first. And only after recovering journal it can do the new updates.

jbd2_journal_get_write_access() and jbd2_journal_get_create_access() are frequently called for buffers that are already part of the running transaction - most frequently it is the case for bitmaps, inode table blocks, and superblock. Since in such cases we have nothing to do, it is unfortunate we still grab reference to journal head, lock the bh, lock bh_state only to find out there's nothing to do. Improving this is a bit subtle though since until we find out journal head is attached to the running transaction, it can disappear from under us because checkpointing / commit decided it's no longer needed. We deal with this by protecting journal_head slab with RCU. We still have to be careful about journal head being freed & reallocated within slab and about exposing journal head in consistent state (in particular b_modified and b_frozen_data must be in correct state before we allow user to touch the buffer).

This basically reverts 47def82672b3 (jbd2: Remove __GFP_NOFAIL from jbd2 layer). The deprecation of __GFP_NOFAIL was a bad choice because it led to open coding the endless loop around the allocator rather than removing the dependency on the non failing allocation. So the deprecation was a clear failure and the reality tells us that __GFP_NOFAIL is not even close to go away. It is still true that __GFP_NOFAIL allocations are generally discouraged and new uses should be evaluated and an alternative (pre-allocations or reservations) should be considered but it doesn't make any sense to lie the allocator about the requirements. Allocator can take steps to help making a progress if it knows the requirements.

When we're enabling journal features, we cannot use the predicate
jbd2_journal_has_csum_v2or3() because we haven't yet set the sb
feature flag fields! Moreover, we just finished loading the shash
driver, so the test is unnecessary; calculate the seed always.
Without this patch, we fail to initialize the checksum seed the first
time we turn on journal_checksum, which means that all journal blocks
written during that first mount are corrupt. Transactions written
after the second mount will be fine, since the feature flag will be
set in the journal superblock. xfstests generic/{034,321,322} are the
regression tests.
(This is important for 3.18.)

Clear all three journal checksum feature flags before turning on whichever journal checksum options we want. Rearrange the error checking so that newer flags get complained about first.
