[PATCH]ext4: bugfix for mmaped pages in mpage_release_unused_pages() ext4: bugfix for mmaped pages in mpage_release_unused_pages() Pages clear buffers after ext4 delayed block allocation failed, However, it does not clean its pte_dirty flag. if the pages unmap ,in cording to the pte_dirty , unmap_page_range may try to call __set_page_dirty, which may lead to the bugon at mpage_prepare_extent_to_map:head = page_buffers(page);. This patch just call clear_page_dirty_for_io to clean pte_dirty at mpage_release_unused_pages for pages mmaped. Steps to reproduce the bug: (1) mmap a file in ext4 addr = (char *)mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0); memset(addr, 'i', 4096); (2) return EIO at ext4_writepages->mpage_map_and_submit_extent->mpage_map_one_extent Cause the log: ext4_msg(sb, KERN_CRIT, "Delayed block allocation failed for " "inode %lu at logical offset %llu with" " max blocks %u with error %d", inode->i_ino, (unsigned long long)map->m_lblk, (unsigned)map->m_len, -err); (3)Unmap the addr cause warning at __set_page_dirty:WARN_ON_ONCE(warn && !PageUptodate(page)); (4) wait for a minute,then bugon happen. >From 3eab887a55424fc2c27553b7bfe32330df83f7b8 From: wangguang <wangguang03@xxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 29 Aug 2016 14:54:58 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] bugfix for mmaped pages in mpage_release_unused_pages() Signed-off-by: wangguang <wangguang03@xxxxxxx> --- old/fs/ext4/inode.c 2016-08-29 12:15:25.150764447 -0400 +++ new/fs/ext4/inode.c 2016-08-29 13:01:58.683559198 -0400 @@ -1649,6 +1649,8 @@ static void mpage_release_unused_pages(s BUG_ON(!PageLocked(page)); BUG_ON(PageWriteback(page)); if (invalidate) { + if (page_mapped(page)) + clear_page_dirty_for_io(page); block_invalidatepage(page, 0, PAGE_SIZE); ClearPageUptodate(page); } 王广 Operation System Production Dept . 操作系统产品部 创新*突破*集约化 Add:成都市高新区天府大道中段800号中兴通讯大厦xxx室 Tel:13678197402 ?韬{.n?????%??檩??w?{.n???{饼?泺Ф?塄}?财??j:+v??????2??璀??摺?囤??z夸z罐?+?????w棹f
