commit 44d9b07e52db25035680713c3428016cadcd2ea1 upstream.
Committing a transaction tx0 with a defer ops chain of (A, B, C) creates a chain of transactions that looks like this:
tx0 -> txA -> txB -> txC
Prior to commit cb042117488dbf, __xfs_trans_commit would run precommits on tx0, then call xfs_defer_finish_noroll to convert A-C to tx[A-C]. Unfortunately, after the finish_noroll loop we forgot to run precommits on txC. That was fixed by adding the second precommit call.
Unfortunately, none of us remembered that xfs_defer_finish_noroll calls __xfs_trans_commit a second time to commit tx0 before finishing work A in txA and committing that. In other words, we run precommits twice on tx0:
xfs_trans_commit(tx0) __xfs_trans_commit(tx0, false) xfs_trans_run_precommits(tx0) xfs_defer_finish_noroll(tx0) xfs_trans_roll(tx0) txA = xfs_trans_dup(tx0) __xfs_trans_commit(tx0, true) xfs_trans_run_precommits(tx0)
This currently isn't an issue because the inode item precommit is idempotent; the iunlink item precommit deletes itself so it can't be called again; and the buffer/dquot item precommits only check the incore objects for corruption. However, it doesn't make sense to run precommits twice.
Fix this situation by only running precommits after finish_noroll.
