Re: [PATCH 3/3] reiser4: in our own sync writes, mark pages dirty before marking them writeback.

Hello,

So the tail conversion is the culprit?
It's quite realistic...
I am currently on vacations,
I'll take a look at this at the end of October
more carefully.

Thanks!
Edward.

So, I've added three non-fatal checks right before
set_page_writeback():
- PageDirty(pg)
- JF_ISSET(cur, JNODE_DIRTY)
- pg->mapping->host->i_wb != NULL

In almost all times when either of the checks is triggered,
the first two checks are triggered at once (i. e. neither page nor
jnode is dirty, but i_wb is not NULL). This happens with both
formatted
nodes (jnode_is_znode), unformatted nodes (jnode_is_unformatted)
and
other nodes.

And, finally, there are very few warnings where jnode _is_ dirty,
but
the page _isn't_. On the first such warning i_wb is also NULL. And,
just as you've suspected, this happens with an unformatted node.

I'll try to add a backtrace buffer into struct jnode and generate a
backtrace there on each jnode dirtying attempt... and then print it
for
the problematic jnode.

So, here it is. On all occurrences the backtrace is the same.

Hmm. This obvious fix "works",  but causes an assertion on rootfs unmount:

"list_empty(&get_super_private(super)->all_jnodes)" in init_super.c:55 (no maintainer-id).

Why?
