3.16.40-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: wangguang <wang.guang55@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 4e800c0359d9a53e6bf0ab216954971b2515247f upstream.
Pages clear buffers after ext4 delayed block allocation failed,
However, it does not clean its pte_dirty flag.
if the pages unmap ,in cording to the pte_dirty ,
unmap_page_range may try to call __set_page_dirty,
which may lead to the bugon at
mpage_prepare_extent_to_map:head = page_buffers(page);.
This patch just call clear_page_dirty_for_io to clean pte_dirty
at mpage_release_unused_pages for pages mmaped.
Steps to reproduce the bug:
（1） mmap a file in ext4
addr = (char *)mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED,
fd, 0);
memset(addr, 'i', 4096);
（2） return EIO at
ext4_writepages->mpage_map_and_submit_extent->mpage_map_one_extent
which causes this log message to be print:
ext4_msg(sb, KERN_CRIT,
"Delayed block allocation failed for "
"inode %lu at logical offset %llu with"
" max blocks %u with error %d",
inode->i_ino,
(unsigned long long)map->m_lblk,
(unsigned)map->m_len, -err);
(3）Unmap the addr cause warning at
__set_page_dirty:WARN_ON_ONCE(warn && !PageUptodate(page));
(4) wait for a minute,then bugon happen.
