From: zhanchengbin <zhanchengbin1@xxxxxxxxxx> Following process will make data lost and could lead to a filesystem corrupted problem: 1. jh(bh) is inserted into T1->t_checkpoint_list, bh is dirty, and jh->b_transaction = NULL 2. T1 is added into journal->j_checkpoint_transactions. 3. Get bh prepare to write while doing checkpoing: PA PB do_get_write_access jbd2_log_do_checkpoint spin_lock(&jh->b_state_lock) if (buffer_dirty(bh)) clear_buffer_dirty(bh) // clear buffer dirty set_buffer_jbddirty(bh) transaction = journal->j_checkpoint_transactions jh = transaction->t_checkpoint_list if (!buffer_dirty(bh)) __jbd2_journal_remove_checkpoint(jh) // bh won't be flushed jbd2_cleanup_journal_tail __jbd2_journal_file_buffer(jh, transaction, BJ_Reserved) 4. Aborting journal/Power-cut before writing latest bh on journal area. In this way we get a corrupted filesystem with bh'data lost. Fix it by wrapping clear_buffer_dirty(bh) and jh->b_transaction setting into journal->j_list_lock, so that jbd2_log_do_checkpoint() will wait until jh's new transaction fininshed even bh is currently not dirty.

Yi suggests that the formal solution could be splitting journal->j_list_lock into two locks: one protects checkpoint list and the other one for other lists. Besides, jh->b_state_lock should be held while traversing transaction->t_checkpoint_list in jbd2_log_do_checkpoint()/journal_shrink_one_cp_list(). fs/jbd2/transaction.c | 8 ++++++-- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/fs/jbd2/transaction.c b/fs/jbd2/transaction.c index 6a404ac1c178..d22460001d6b 100644 --- a/fs/jbd2/transaction.c +++ b/fs/jbd2/transaction.c @@ -990,6 +990,7 @@ do_get_write_access(handle_t *handle, struct journal_head *jh, start_lock = jiffies; lock_buffer(bh); spin_lock(&jh->b_state_lock); + spin_lock(&journal->j_list_lock); /* If it takes too long to lock the buffer, trace it */ time_lock = jbd2_time_diff(start_lock, jiffies); @@ -1039,6 +1040,7 @@ do_get_write_access(handle_t *handle, struct journal_head *jh, error = -EROFS; if (is_handle_aborted(handle)) { + spin_unlock(&journal->j_list_lock); spin_unlock(&jh->b_state_lock); goto out; } @@ -1049,8 +1051,10 @@ do_get_write_access(handle_t *handle, struct journal_head *jh, * b_next_transaction points to it */ if (jh->b_transaction == transaction || - jh->b_next_transaction == transaction) + jh->b_next_transaction == transaction) { + spin_unlock(&journal->j_list_lock); goto done; + } /* * this is the first time this transaction is touching this buffer, @@ -1073,11 +1077,11 @@ do_get_write_access(handle_t *handle, struct journal_head *jh, * Paired with barrier in jbd2_write_access_granted() */ smp_wmb(); - spin_lock(&journal->j_list_lock); __jbd2_journal_file_buffer(jh, transaction, BJ_Reserved); spin_unlock(&journal->j_list_lock); goto done; } + spin_unlock(&journal->j_list_lock); /* * If there is already a copy-out version of this buffer, then we don't * need to make another one -- 2.31.1
