bdev_inode_switch_bdi WARN_ON_ONCE on write_inode_now

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



After the warning described in
	"mark_buffer_dirty WARN_ON_ONCE on buffer_uptodate"

shutting down the system triggered a different WARN_ON_ONCE,
reporting that write_inode_now failed.

That starts in
SYSCALL_DEFINE2(umount, char __user *, name, int, flags)
...
        retval = do_umount(mnt, flags);
dput_and_out:
        /* we mustn't call path_put() as that would clear mnt_expiry_mark */
        dput(path.dentry);
        mntput_no_expire(mnt);
out:
        return retval;

and hits the warning in that mntput_no_expire call:
static void bdev_inode_switch_bdi(struct inode *inode,
                        struct backing_dev_info *dst)
...
	                WARN_ON_ONCE(write_inode_now(inode, true));

The mntput_no_expire call chain doesn't pass return values 
back, so umount doesn't report if anything extra went wrong
in the write_inode_now call; it just returns the result
from do_umount.  The first problem to the first device
triggers the WARN_ON_ONCE message, but then it's silent
for other afflicted devices.

Every afflicted device does get one of these:
[22141.816183] EXT4-fs error (device sda): ext4_put_super:792: Couldn't clean up the journal

and shutdown was not blocked by these problems.
