Hi.
In the current jbd code, if a buffer on BJ_SyncData list is dirty and not
locked,
the buffer is refiled to BJ_Locked list, submitted to the IO and waited for
IO completion.
But the fsstress test showed the case that when a buffer was already submitted
to the IO just before the buffer_dirty(bh) check, the buffer was not waited
for IO
completion.
Following patch solves this problem. If it is assumed that a buffer is
submitted to the IO
before the buffer_dirty(bh) check and still being written to disk, this
buffer is refiled to
BJ_Locked list.
Thanks.
