At committing phase, we call jbd2_journal_write_metadata_buffer to prepare log block's buffer_head, in this function, new_bh->b_data is set to b_frozen_data or bh_in->b_data. We call "jbd_unlock_bh_state(bh_in)" too early, since at this point , we haven't file bh_in to BJ_shadow list, and we may set new_bh->b_data to bh_in->b_data, at this time, another thread may call get write access of bh_in, modify bh_in->b_data and dirty it. So , if new_bh->b_data is set to bh_in->b_data, the committing transaction may flush the newly modified buffer content to disk, preserve work done in jbd2_journal_get_write_access is useless. jbd also has this problem. here is the patch based on kernel version 2.6.30: Signed-off-by: dingdinghua <dingdinghua85@xxxxxxxxx> Acked-by: Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxx> --- --- fs/jbd2/journal.c.old 2009-06-21 16:18:18.000000000 +0800 +++ fs/jbd2/journal.c 2009-06-21 16:38:53.000000000 +0800 @@ -297,6 +297,8 @@ int jbd2_journal_write_metadata_buffer(t unsigned int new_offset; struct buffer_head *bh_in = jh2bh(jh_in); struct jbd2_buffer_trigger_type *triggers; + journal_t *journal = transaction->t_journal; + /* * The buffer really shouldn't be locked: only the current committing @@ -310,6 +312,11 @@ int jbd2_journal_write_metadata_buffer(t J_ASSERT_BH(bh_in, buffer_jbddirty(bh_in)); new_bh = alloc_buffer_head(GFP_NOFS|__GFP_NOFAIL); + /* keep subsequent assertions sane */ + new_bh->b_state = 0; + init_buffer(new_bh, NULL, NULL); + atomic_set(&new_bh->b_count, 1); + new_jh = jbd2_journal_add_journal_head(new_bh); /* This sleeps */ /* * If a new transaction has already done a buffer copy-out, then @@ -388,14 +395,6 @@ repeat: kunmap_atomic(mapped_data, KM_USER0); } - /* keep subsequent assertions sane */ - new_bh->b_state = 0; - init_buffer(new_bh, NULL, NULL); - atomic_set(&new_bh->b_count, 1); - jbd_unlock_bh_state(bh_in); - - new_jh = jbd2_journal_add_journal_head(new_bh); /* This sleeps */ - set_bh_page(new_bh, new_page, new_offset); new_jh->b_transaction = NULL; new_bh->b_size = jh2bh(jh_in)->b_size; @@ -412,7 +411,11 @@ repeat: * copying is moved to the transaction's shadow queue. */ JBUFFER_TRACE(jh_in, "file as BJ_Shadow"); - jbd2_journal_file_buffer(jh_in, transaction, BJ_Shadow); + spin_lock(&journal->j_list_lock); + __jbd2_journal_file_buffer(jh_in, transaction, BJ_Shadow); + spin_unlock(&journal->j_list_lock); + jbd_unlock_bh_state(bh_in); + JBUFFER_TRACE(new_jh, "file as BJ_IO"); jbd2_journal_file_buffer(new_jh, transaction, BJ_IO); --- fs/jbd/journal.c.old 2009-06-21 16:27:37.000000000 +0800 +++ fs/jbd/journal.c 2009-06-21 16:45:06.000000000 +0800 @@ -287,6 +287,7 @@ int journal_write_metadata_buffer(transa struct page *new_page; unsigned int new_offset; struct buffer_head *bh_in = jh2bh(jh_in); + journal_t *journal = transaction->t_journal; /* * The buffer really shouldn't be locked: only the current committing @@ -300,6 +301,11 @@ int journal_write_metadata_buffer(transa J_ASSERT_BH(bh_in, buffer_jbddirty(bh_in)); new_bh = alloc_buffer_head(GFP_NOFS|__GFP_NOFAIL); + /* keep subsequent assertions sane */ + new_bh->b_state = 0; + init_buffer(new_bh, NULL, NULL); + atomic_set(&new_bh->b_count, 1); + new_jh = journal_add_journal_head(new_bh); /* This sleeps */ /* * If a new transaction has already done a buffer copy-out, then @@ -361,14 +367,6 @@ repeat: kunmap_atomic(mapped_data, KM_USER0); } - /* keep subsequent assertions sane */ - new_bh->b_state = 0; - init_buffer(new_bh, NULL, NULL); - atomic_set(&new_bh->b_count, 1); - jbd_unlock_bh_state(bh_in); - - new_jh = journal_add_journal_head(new_bh); /* This sleeps */ - set_bh_page(new_bh, new_page, new_offset); new_jh->b_transaction = NULL; new_bh->b_size = jh2bh(jh_in)->b_size; @@ -385,7 +383,11 @@ repeat: * copying is moved to the transaction's shadow queue. */ JBUFFER_TRACE(jh_in, "file as BJ_Shadow"); - journal_file_buffer(jh_in, transaction, BJ_Shadow); + spin_lock(&journal->j_list_lock); + __journal_file_buffer(jh_in, transaction, BJ_Shadow); + spin_unlock(&journal->j_list_lock); + jbd_unlock_bh_state(bh_in); + JBUFFER_TRACE(new_jh, "file as BJ_IO"); journal_file_buffer(new_jh, transaction, BJ_IO); -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
