From 46f881b5b1758dc4a35fba4a643c10717d0cf427 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zhang Yi yi.zhang@huawei.com Date: Tue, 6 Jun 2023 21:59:27 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] jbd2: fix a race when checking checkpoint buffer busy
Before removing checkpoint buffer from the t_checkpoint_list, we have to check both BH_Dirty and BH_Lock bits together to distinguish buffers have not been or were being written back. But __cp_buffer_busy() checks them separately, it first check lock state and then check dirty, the window between these two checks could be raced by writing back procedure, which locks buffer and clears buffer dirty before I/O completes. So it cannot guarantee checkpointing buffers been written back to disk if some error happens later. Finally, it may clean checkpoint transactions and lead to inconsistent filesystem.
jbd2_journal_forget() and __journal_try_to_free_buffer() also have the same problem (journal_unmap_buffer() escape from this issue since it's running under the buffer lock), so fix them through introducing a new helper to try holding the buffer lock and remove really clean buffer.
