From: Abbas Raza <Abbas_Raza@xxxxxxxxxx> ext4 code throws WARNINGs if a mounted card having ext4 filesystem is ejected without unmounting first and inserted again. This happens because ext4 procfs entries for this card doesn't get cleaned when it is ejected this way. Steps to reproduce this problem: 1) card having ext4 filesystem is already mounted: root@mx6q:~# mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 on /media/sd-mmcblk0p1 type ext4 (rw,relatime,data=ordered) 2) cd <mount point> root@mx6q:~# cd /media/sd-mmcblk0p1/ root@mx6q:/media/sd-mmcblk0p1# root@mx6q:/media/sd-mmcblk0p1# ls /proc/fs/ext4/ mmcblk0p1 root@mx6q:/media/sd-mmcblk0p1# 3) Remove card: root@mx6q:/media/sd-mmcblk0p1# [ 165.167264] mmc1: card efa2 removed 4) Proc entries for the removed card are still present: root@mx6q:/media/sd-mmcblk0p1# ls /proc/fs/ext4/ mmcblk0p1 5) Re-insert card (mount will fail with a following warnings): root@mx6q:/media/sd-mmcblk0p1# [ 74.987270] mmc1: new SDHC card at address efa2 [ 74.992426] mmcblk0: mmc1:efa2 SD04G 3.69 GiB [ 75.003689] mmcblk0: p1 [ 75.590601] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 75.595296] WARNING: at fs/proc/generic.c:573 proc_register+0xe8/0x138() [ 75.602013] proc_dir_entry 'ext4/mmcblk0p1' already registered [ 75.607882] Modules linked in: ip_tables x_tables [ 75.662964] Backtrace: [ 75.665500] [<80011734>] (dump_backtrace+0x0/0x10c) from [<803a2eb8>] (dump_stack+0x18/0x1c) [ 75.674005] r6:80488400 r5:0000023d r4:ac637c60 r3:80508444 [ 75.679779] [<803a2ea0>] (dump_stack+0x0/0x1c) from [<80022908>] (warn_slowpath_common+0x54/0x6c) [ 75.688885] [<800228b4>] (warn_slowpath_common+0x0/0x6c) from [<800229c4>] (warn_slowpath_fmt+0x38/0x40) [ 75.698596] r8:a9968b59 r7:a816b200 r6:00000000 r5:ac1a1c80 r4:a9968b00 r3:00000009 [ 75.706615] [<8002298c>] (warn_slowpath_fmt+0x0/0x40) from [<8013b03c>] (proc_register+0xe8/0x138) [ 75.715783] r3:ac1a1cd9 r2:80488466 [ 75.719437] [<8013af54>] (proc_register+0x0/0x138) from [<8013b264>] (proc_mkdir_mode+0x40/0x60) [ 75.728411] r8:805bac20 r7:ac721800 r6:ac722000 r5:00000000 r4:a9968b00 [ 75.735284] [<8013b224>] (proc_mkdir_mode+0x0/0x60) from [<8013b29c>] (proc_mkdir+0x18/0x1c) [ 75.743825] r4:0000007f [ 75.746399] [<8013b284>] (proc_mkdir+0x0/0x1c) from [<8016f038>] (ext4_fill_super+0xe1c/0x2788) [ 75.755193] [<8016e21c>] (ext4_fill_super+0x0/0x2788) from [<800eae6c>] (mount_bdev+0x124/0x1a0) [ 75.764082] [<800ead48>] (mount_bdev+0x0/0x1a0) from [<8015e740>] (ext4_mount+0x1c/0x28) [ 75.772263] [<8015e724>] (ext4_mount+0x0/0x28) from [<800eb728>] (mount_fs+0x1c/0xc0) [ 75.780160] [<800eb70c>] (mount_fs+0x0/0xc0) from [<80102498>] (vfs_kern_mount+0x54/0xc8) [ 75.788409] r6:00000000 r5:ac3886c0 r4:acbd4b40 [ 75.793102] [<80102444>] (vfs_kern_mount+0x0/0xc8) from [<801045e8>] (do_mount+0x71c/0x834) [ 75.801557] r8:ac636000 r7:8051f3dc r6:805322c0 r5:ac3886c0 r4:00000020 r3:00000000 [ 75.809528] [<80103ecc>] (do_mount+0x0/0x834) from [<8010478c>] (sys_mount+0x8c/0xc0) [ 75.817446] [<80104700>] (sys_mount+0x0/0xc0) from [<8000d860>] (ret_fast_syscall+0x0/0x30) [ 75.825883] r7:00000015 r6:005956c0 r5:00200000 r4:00000000 [ 75.831606] ---[ end trace 041836e4555827df ]--- [ 75.839421] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 75.844096] WARNING: at fs/proc/generic.c:573 proc_register+0xe8/0x138() [ 75.850810] proc_dir_entry 'jbd2/mmcblk0p1-8' already registered ...
