[ Upstream commit c2d6fd9d6f35079f1669f0100f05b46708c74b7f ]
There is a long-standing metadata corruption issue that happens from time to time, but it's very difficult to reproduce and analyse, benefit from the JBD2_CYCLE_RECORD option, we found out that the problem is the checkpointing process miss to write out some buffers which are raced by another do_get_write_access(). Looks below for detail.
jbd2_log_do_checkpoint() //transaction X //buffer A is dirty and not belones to any transaction __buffer_relink_io() //move it to the IO list __flush_batch() write_dirty_buffer() do_get_write_access() clear_buffer_dirty __jbd2_journal_file_buffer() //add buffer A to a new transaction Y lock_buffer(bh) //doesn't write out __jbd2_journal_remove_checkpoint() //finish checkpoint except buffer A //filesystem corrupt if the new transaction Y isn't fully write out.
Due to the t_checkpoint_list walking loop in jbd2_log_do_checkpoint() have already handles waiting for buffers under IO and re-added new transaction to complete commit, and it also removing cleaned buffers, this makes sure the list will eventually get empty. So it's fine to leave buffers on the t_checkpoint_list while flushing out and completely stop using the t_checkpoint_io_list.
