[ Upstream commit 558d6450c7755aa005d89021204b6cdcae5e848f ]
If a writeback of the superblock fails with an I/O error, the buffer is marked not uptodate. However, this can cause a WARN_ON to trigger when we attempt to write superblock a second time. (Which might succeed this time, for cerrtain types of block devices such as iSCSI devices over a flaky network.)
Try to detect this case in flush_stashed_error_work(), and also change __ext4_handle_dirty_metadata() so we always set the uptodate flag, not just in the nojournal case.
Before this commit, this problem can be repliciated via:
1. dmsetup create dust1 --table '0 2097152 dust /dev/sdc 0 4096' 2. mount /dev/mapper/dust1 /home/test 3. dmsetup message dust1 0 addbadblock 0 10 4. cd /home/test 5. echo "XXXXXXX" > t
After a few seconds, we got following warning:
