Above issue may happen as follows:
cpu1 cpu2 ----------------------------|---------------------------- mount -o dioread_lock ext4_writepages ext4_do_writepages *if (ext4_should_dioread_nolock(inode))* // rsv_blocks is not assigned here mount -o remount,dioread_nolock ext4_journal_start_with_reserve __ext4_journal_start __ext4_journal_start_sb jbd2__journal_start *if (rsv_blocks)* // h_rsv_handle is not initialized here mpage_map_and_submit_extent mpage_map_one_extent dioread_nolock = ext4_should_dioread_nolock(inode) if (dioread_nolock && (map->m_flags & EXT4_MAP_UNWRITTEN)) mpd->io_submit.io_end->handle = handle->h_rsv_handle ext4_set_io_unwritten_flag io_end->flag |= EXT4_IO_END_UNWRITTEN // now io_end->handle is NULL but has EXT4_IO_END_UNWRITTEN flag
scsi_finish_command scsi_io_completion scsi_io_completion_action scsi_end_request blk_update_request req_bio_endio bio_endio bio->bi_end_io > ext4_end_bio ext4_put_io_end_defer ext4_add_complete_io // trigger WARN_ON(!io_end->handle && sbi->s_journal);
The immediate cause of this problem is that ext4_should_dioread_nolock() function returns inconsistent values in the ext4_do_writepages() and mpage_map_one_extent(). There are four conditions in this function that can be changed at mount time to cause this problem. These four conditions can be divided into two categories:
(1) journal_data and EXT4_EXTENTS_FL, which can be changed by ioctl (2) DELALLOC and DIOREAD_NOLOCK, which can be changed by remount
The two in the first category have been fixed by commit c8585c6fcaf2 ("ext4: fix races between changing inode journal mode and ext4_writepages") and commit cb85f4d23f79 ("ext4: fix race between writepages and enabling EXT4_EXTENTS_FL") respectively.
Two cases in the other category have not yet been fixed, and the above issue is caused by this situation. We refer to the fix for the first category, when applying options during remount, we grab s_writepages_rwsem to avoid racing with writepages ops to trigger this problem.
