As you know, commit a17712c8 has added below code to aviod a
crash( 'BUG_ON(!buffer_mapped(bh))' in submit_bh_wbc) when
device hot-removed(a physical device is unpluged from pcie slot
or a nbd device's network is shutdown).
static int ext4_commit_super():
if (!sbh || block_device_ejected(sb))
return error;
+
+ /*
+ * The superblock bh should be mapped, but it might not be if the
+ * device was hot-removed. Not much we can do but fail the I/O.
+ */
+ if (!buffer_mapped(sbh))
+ return error;
And the call trace, which leads to the crash, as below:
ext4_commit_super()
__sync_dirty_buffer()
submit_bh()
submit_bh_wbc()
BUG_ON(!buffer_mapped(bh));
But recently we met the same crash(with very low probability) when
device hot-removed even though the kernel already contained
above exception protection code. Still, the crash is caused by
'BUG_ON(!buffer_mapped(bh))' in submit_bh_wbc(), and the same
call trace as below.
As my understanding and below code，there are still some more
codes needs to run between 'buffer_mapped(sbh)'(which is added
by commit a17712c8) and 'BUG_ON(!buffer_mapped(bh))' in
submit_bh_wbc(), especially lock_buffer is called two times(sometimes,
it may take more times to get the lock). So when do the test of
device hot-remove, there is low probability that the sbh is mapped
when executing 'buffer_mapped(sbh)'(which is added by commit a17712c8)
but sbh is not mapped when executing 'BUG_ON(!buffer_mapped(bh))'
in submit_bh_wbc().
Code path:
ext4_commit_super
judge if 'buffer_mapped(sbh)' is false, return <== commit a17712c8
lock_buffer(sbh)
...
unlock_buffer(sbh)
__sync_dirty_buffer(sbh,...
lock_buffer(sbh)
judge if 'buffer_mapped(sbh))' is false, return <== added by this patch
submit_bh(...,sbh)
submit_bh_wbc(...,sbh,...)
This patch is to move the check of 'buffer_mapped(sbh)' to the place just
before calling 'BUG_ON(!buffer_mapped(bh))' in submit_bh_wbc().
