Hi all,
We encountered a problem by chance today, a kernel bug which causes the
following error:
Assertion failure in journal_fl sh() at journal.c:1310:
"!journal->j_running_transaction"
kernel BUG at journal.c:1310!
This happened while remounting an ext3 filesystem read-only. We often do
this and haven't seen this bug before, so I suspect some kind of race.
It appears to be related to a message posted to this list in January 2002
by Carsted Otte
[https://listman.redhat.com/pipermail/ext3-users/2002-January/002572.html].
I noticed the repeat_lock patch given by Stephen Tweedie later in that
thread. I don't have the original source used to build this kernel
(2.4.19-FW25), but it appears that the patch has been applied in 2.4.20 at
least, so this may not be the same problem.
The full decoded oops is attached. Currently we have no way to reproduce
this problem.
Cheers, Chris.
