The patch titled Subject: ocfs2: call ocfs2_journal_access_di() before ocfs2_journal_dirty() in ocfs2_write_end_nolock() has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was ocfs2-call-ocfs2_journal_access_di-before-ocfs2_journal_dirty-in-ocfs2_write_end_nolock.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: yangwenfang <vicky.yangwenfang@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: ocfs2: call ocfs2_journal_access_di() before ocfs2_journal_dirty() in ocfs2_write_end_nolock() 1: After we call ocfs2_journal_access_di() in ocfs2_write_begin(), jbd2_journal_restart() may also be called, in this function transaction A's t_updates-- and obtains a new transaction B. If jbd2_journal_commit_transaction() is happened to commit transaction A, when t_updates==0, it will continue to complete commit and unfile buffer. So when jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata(), the handle is pointed a new transaction B, and the buffer head's journal head is already freed, jh->b_transaction == NULL, jh->b_next_transaction == NULL, it returns EINVAL, So it triggers the BUG_ON(status). thread 1 jbd2 ocfs2_write_begin jbd2_journal_commit_transaction ocfs2_write_begin_nolock ocfs2_start_trans jbd2__journal_start(t_updates+1, transaction A) ocfs2_journal_access_di ocfs2_write_cluster_by_desc ocfs2_mark_extent_written ocfs2_change_extent_flag ocfs2_split_extent ocfs2_extend_rotate_transaction jbd2_journal_restart (t_updates-1,transaction B) t_updates==0 __jbd2_journal_refile_buffer (jh->b_transaction = NULL) ocfs2_write_end ocfs2_write_end_nolock ocfs2_journal_dirty jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata(bug) ocfs2_commit_trans 2. In ext4, I found that: jbd2_journal_get_write_access() called by ext4_write_end. ext4_write_begin ext4_journal_start __ext4_journal_start_sb ext4_journal_check_start jbd2__journal_start ext4_write_end ext4_mark_inode_dirty ext4_reserve_inode_write ext4_journal_get_write_access jbd2_journal_get_write_access ext4_mark_iloc_dirty ext4_do_update_inode ext4_handle_dirty_metadata jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata 3. So I think we should put ocfs2_journal_access_di before ocfs2_journal_dirty in the ocfs2_write_end. and it works well after my modification.
