So I suppose we have to > check the I/O error by jbd2 module itself like v1 does. Hum, that's a good point because next time we will try to mount the fs we will not try to replay the journal anymore. So let's return to v1 and I'm sorry for misguiding you Zhihao. But when we are doing background IO error detection in jbd2 during journal replay, I'm wondering whether we shouldn't be doing something similar in checkpointing code - like when we are about to remove a transaction from the journal. And as I'm checking we already do that using JBD2_CHECKPOINT_IO_ERROR bit handling - maybe we could replace that with a more standard errseq mechanism that is available these days as a cleanup? And the ext4 handling in ext4_check_bdev_write_error() is useful only in nojournal mode as otherwise jbd2 is taking care of all writeback errors including the background ones. So maybe we can guard the ext4_check_bdev_write_error() by a !ext4_handle_valid(handle) check to make that obvious (and comment about that). What do you think?
