2010-10-28ext3/jbd: Avoid WARN() messages when failing to write the superblockDarrick J. Wong
This fixes a WARN backtrace in mark_buffer_dirty() that occurs during unmount when the underlying block device is removed. This bug has been seen on System Z when removing all paths from a multipath-backed ext3 mount; on System P when injecting enough PCI EEH errors to make the SCSI controller go offline; and similar warnings have been seen (and patched) with ext2/ext4. The super block update from a previous operation has marked the buffer as in error, and the flag has to be cleared before doing the update. Similar changes have been made to ext4 by commit 914258bf2cb22bf4336a1b1d90c551b4b11ca5aa. Signed-off-by: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>

2010-08-18remove SWRITE* I/O typesChristoph Hellwig
These flags aren't real I/O types, but tell ll_rw_block to always lock the buffer instead of giving up on a failed trylock. Instead add a new write_dirty_buffer helper that implements this semantic and use it from the existing SWRITE* callers. Note that the ll_rw_block code had a bug where it didn't promote WRITE_SYNC_PLUG properly, which this patch fixes. In the ufs code clean up the helper that used to call ll_rw_block to mirror sync_dirty_buffer, which is the function it implements for compound buffers.

2009-09-16jbd: Journal block numbers can ever be only 32-bit use unsigned int for themJan Kara

2009-07-21jbd: fix race between write_metadata_buffer and get_write_accessdingdinghua
The function journal_write_metadata_buffer() calls jbd_unlock_bh_state(bh_in) too early; this could potentially allow another thread to call get_write_access on the buffer head, modify the data, and dirty it, and allowing the wrong data to be written into the journal. Fortunately, if we lose this race, the only time this will actually cause filesystem corruption is if there is a system crash or other unclean shutdown of the system before the next commit can take place.

2009-02-11jbd: fix return value of journal_start_commit()Jan Kara
journal_start_commit() returns 1 if either a transaction is committing or the function has queued a transaction commit. But it returns 0 if we raced with somebody queueing the transaction commit as well. This resulted in ext3_sync_fs() not functioning correctly (description from Arthur Jones): In the case of a data=ordered umount with pending long symlinks which are delayed due to a long list of other I/O on the backing block device, this causes the buffer associated with the long symlinks to not be moved to the inode dirty list in the second phase of fsync_super. Then, before they can be dirtied again, kjournald exits, seeing the UMOUNT flag and the dirty pages are never written to the backing block device, causing long symlink corruption and exposing new or previously freed block data to userspace. This can be reproduced with a script created by Eric Sandeen <sandeen@redhat.com>: #!/bin/bash umount /mnt/test2 mount /dev/sdb4 /mnt/test2 rm -f /mnt/test2/* dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/test2/bigfile bs=1M count=512 touch /mnt/test2/thisisveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryverylongfilename ln -s /mnt/test2/thisisveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryverylongfilename /mnt/test2/link umount /mnt/test2 mount /dev/sdb4 /mnt/test2 ls /mnt/test2/ This patch fixes journal_start_commit() to always return 1 when there's a transaction committing or queued for commit.

2008-10-23jbd: fix error handling for checkpoint ioHidehiro Kawai
When a checkpointing IO fails, current JBD code doesn't check the error and continue journaling. This means latest metadata can be lost from both the journal and filesystem. This patch leaves the failed metadata blocks in the journal space and aborts journaling in the case of log_do_checkpoint(). To achieve this, we need to do: 1. don't remove the failed buffer from the checkpoint list where in the case of __try_to_free_cp_buf() because it may be released or overwritten by a later transaction 2. log_do_checkpoint() is the last chance, remove the failed buffer from the checkpoint list and abort the journal 3. when checkpointing fails, don't update the journal super block to prevent the journaled contents from being cleaned. For safety, don't update j_tail and j_tail_sequence either 4. when checkpointing fails, notify this error to the ext3 layer so that ext3 don't clear the needs_recovery flag, otherwise the journaled contents are ignored and cleaned in the recovery phase 5. if the recovery fails, keep the needs_recovery flag 6. prevent cleanup_journal_tail() from being called between __journal_drop_transaction() and journal_abort() (a race issue between journal_flush() and __log_wait_for_space() Signed-off-by: Hidehiro Kawai <hidehiro.kawai.ez@hitachi.com> Acked-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Cc: <linux-ext4@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

The jbd-debug file used to be located in /proc/sys/fs/jbd-debug, but create_proc_entry() does not do lookups on file names that are more that one directory deep. This causes the entry creation to fail and hence, no proc file is created. Instead of fixing this on procfs might as well move the jbd2-debug file to debugfs which would be the preferred location for this kind of tunable.

2007-10-16Group short-lived and reclaimable kernel allocationsMel Gorman
This patch marks a number of allocations that are either short-lived such as network buffers or are reclaimable such as inode allocations. When something like updatedb is called, long-lived and unmovable kernel allocations tend to be spread throughout the address space which increases fragmentation. This patch groups these allocations together as much as possible by adding a new MIGRATE_TYPE. The MIGRATE_RECLAIMABLE type is for allocations that can be reclaimed on demand, but not moved. i.e. they can be migrated by deleting them and re-reading the information from elsewhere.

2006-09-27[PATCH] JBD: 16T fixesEric Sandeen
These are a few places I've found in jbd that look like they may not be 16T-safe, or consistent with the use of unsigned longs for block containers. Problems here would be somewhat hard to hit, would require journal blocks past the 8T boundary, which would not be terribly common. Still, should fix. (some of these have come from the ext4 work on jbd as well). I think there's one more possibility that the wrap() function may not be safe IF your last block in the journal butts right up against the 232 block boundary, but that seems like a VERY remote possibility, and I'm not worrying about it at this point.

- ->releasepage() annotated (s/int/gfp_t), instances updated - missing gfp_t in fs/* added - fixed misannotation from the original sweep caught by bitwise checks: XFS used __nocast both for gfp_t and for flags used by XFS allocator. The latter left with unsigned int __nocast; we might want to add a different type for those but for now let's leave them alone. That, BTW, is a case when __nocast use had been actively confusing - it had been used in the same code for two different and similar types, with no way to catch misuses. Switch of gfp_t to bitwise had caught that immediately... One tricky bit is left alone to be dealt with later - mapping->flags is a mix of gfp_t and error indications. Left alone for now.

2005-09-07[PATCH] kjournald: missing JFS_UNMOUNT checkMark Fasheh
It seems that kjournald() may be missing a check of the JFS_UNMOUNT flag before calling schedule(). This showed up in testing of OCFS2 recovery where our recovery thread would hang in journal_kill_thread() called from journal_destroy() because kjournald never got a chance to read the flag to shut down before the schedule(). Zach pointed out the missing check which led me to hack up this trivial patch. It's been tested many times now and I have yet to reproduce the hang, which was happening very regularly before. <mild rant> I'm guessing that we could really use some wait_event() calls with helper functions in, well, most of jbd these days which would make a ton of the wait code there vastly cleaner. </mild rant> As for why this doesn't happen in ext3 (or OCFS2 during normal mount/unmount of the local nodes journal), I think it may that the specific timing of events in the ocfs2 recovery thread exposes a race there. Because ocfs2_replay_journal() is only interested in playing back the journal, initialization and shutdown happen very quicky with no other metadata put into that specific journal.
