Hi Kai,
Now the problem is more clear to me.
Just a few comments inline.

If journal is dirty when mount, it will be replayed but jbd2 sb
log tail cannot be updated to mark a new start because
journal->j_flag has already been set with JBD2_ABORT first
in journal_init_common. When a new transaction is committed, it
will be recored in block 1 first(journal->j_tail is set to 1 in
journal_reset).
If emergency restart happens again before journal super block is
updated unfortunately, the new recorded trans will not be replayed
in the next mount.
So this issue happens before the first committing log iteration comes
(running in jbd2 kernel thread), right?
This leads jbd2 losing the chance to update *on-disk* journal super
block but the dynamic status of journal is still remaining in memory.
Yes, I agree. We should update on-disk journal super block after journal
recovery since that procedure doesn't involve journal status in memory
which is just reset to the very beginning(tail and head pointing to the
first block) of journal region.
Moreover, during journal recovery running by peer nodes, ocfs2 already
does that like what this patch does.
ocfs2_recover_node() -> ocfs2_replay_journal().
Very good job to catch such an exception. :-)
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
journal sb block will be updated after recovery.
To fix this problem, use jbd2_journal_flush to mark journal as empty as
ocfs2_replay_journal has done.
The following jbd2 journal can be generated by touching a new file after
journal is replayed, and seq 15 is the first valid commit, but first seq
is 13 in journal super block.

Block 9: Journal Commit Block
Seq: 15 Type: 2 (JBD2_COMMIT_BLOCK)
The following is jouranl recovery log when recovering the upper jbd2
journal when mount again.
syslog:
[ 2265.648622] ocfs2: File system on device (252,1) was not unmounted cleanly, recovering it.
[ 2265.649695] fs/jbd2/recovery.c:(do_one_pass, 449): Starting recovery pass 0
[ 2265.650407] fs/jbd2/recovery.c:(do_one_pass, 449): Starting recovery pass 1
[ 2265.650409] fs/jbd2/recovery.c:(do_one_pass, 449): Starting recovery pass 2
[ 2265.650410] fs/jbd2/recovery.c:(jbd2_journal_recover, 278): JBD2: recovery, exit status 0, recovered transactions 13 to 13
Due to first commit seq 13 recorded in journal super is not consistent
with the value recorded in block 1(seq is 14), journal recovery will be
terminated before seq 15 even though it is an unbroken commit, inode
8257802 is a new file and it will be lost.

Is the above mlog line necessary?
Can we just log a warning only jbd2_journal_flush() fails and let the
mount continue? IMO, the mlog line can't help much.
Otherwise, this patch looks good to me.
Thanks,
Changwei
