Hi,
I am trying to understand the problem.
Just a few quick questions inline.

Hi, I meet a new problem that file may be lost althougth it is recorded
in the jbd2 journal
with ocfs2 file system in one node scene. Can you give some suggestions
for this problem
and modification patch?
Test method:
1. touch some files after mount
2. emergency restart
3. mount again, then log tail will not be updated
4. touch a new file and confirm that it is recorded in the journal area
5.emergency restart again
6. the new log will not be replayed becasuse its seq and blknum are not
consistent with journal super block although it is an unbroken commit.
What do you mean by the consistency between jbd2 blocks and jbd2 super
block?
Did you ever call fsync(2) to test target file? If not, posix doesn't
guarantee the newly created file should be present after a crash. In
other words, it's a normal case.
Perhaps, I miss something, better you can give a further elaboration.
If we can ensure this patch helps, we can make this progress :-)
After analizing the codes, its cause is as follow:
Journal->j_flags will be set JBD2_ABORT in journal_init_common first.
if this flag is not cleared before journal_reset in journal recovery
scene, super log tail cannot be updated, then the new commit trans in
the journal may not be replayed because new commits recover old trans
area.
This exception happens when this lun is used by only one node. If it
is used by multi-nodes, other node will replay its journal and its
log tail info will be updated after recovery.
To fix this problem, use jbd2_journal_flush to update log tail as
ocfs2_replay_journal has done.

I think all the ever committed transactions are kept in the journal area
until it's overwritten.
is a new file and it will be lost. After test, it is ok now.

As now it's under mounting progress, I don't figure out how can we get
running jbd2 transactions? If no *running* transactions around, does
jbd2_journal_flush() really have effect to jbd2?
