From: Munehisa Kamata <kamatam@xxxxxxxxxx> Commit abbbdf12497d ("replace kill_bdev() with __invalidate_device()") once did this, but 29eaadc03649 ("nbd: stop using the bdev everywhere") resurrected kill_bdev() and it has been there since then. So buffer_head mappings still get killed on a server disconnection, and we can still hit the BUG_ON on a filesystem on the top of the nbd device. EXT4-fs (nbd0): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: (null) block nbd0: Receive control failed (result -32) block nbd0: shutting down sockets print_req_error: I/O error, dev nbd0, sector 66264 flags 3000 EXT4-fs warning (device nbd0): htree_dirblock_to_tree:979: inode #2: lblock 0: comm ls: error -5 reading directory block print_req_error: I/O error, dev nbd0, sector 2264 flags 3000 EXT4-fs error (device nbd0): __ext4_get_inode_loc:4690: inode #2: block 283: comm ls: unable to read itable block EXT4-fs error (device nbd0) in ext4_reserve_inode_write:5894: IO failure ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at fs/buffer.c:3057! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI CPU: 7 PID: 40045 Comm: jbd2/nbd0-8 Not tainted 5.1.0-rc3+ #4 Hardware name: Amazon EC2 m5.12xlarge/, BIOS 1.0 10/16/2017 RIP: 0010:submit_bh_wbc+0x18b/0x190 ...
