From: zhangyi (F) <yi.zhang@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit c044f3d8360d2ecf831ba2cc9f08cf9fb2c699fb ] If we free a metadata buffer which has been failed to async write out in the background, the jbd2 checkpoint procedure will not detect this failure in jbd2_log_do_checkpoint(), so it may lead to filesystem inconsistency after cleanup journal tail. This patch abort the journal if free a buffer has write_io_error flag to prevent potential further inconsistency.
