jbd2: fix hung processes in jbd2_journal_lock_updates()
Toshiyuki Okajima found out that when running
for ((i=0; i < 100000; i++)); do
if ((i%2 == 0)); then
chattr +j /mnt/file
else
chattr -j /mnt/file
fi
echo "0" >> /mnt/file
done
process sometimes hangs indefinitely in jbd2_journal_lock_updates().
Toshiyuki identified that the following race happens:
jbd2_journal_lock_updates() |jbd2_journal_stop()
---------------------------------------+---------------------------------------
write_lock(&journal->j_state_lock) | .
++journal->j_barrier_count | .
spin_lock(&tran->t_handle_lock) | .
atomic_read(&tran->t_updates) //not 0 |
| atomic_dec_and_test(&tran->t_updates)
| // t_updates = 0
| wake_up(&journal->j_wait_updates)
prepare_to_wait() | // no process is woken up.
spin_unlock(&tran->t_handle_lock) |
write_unlock(&journal->j_state_lock) |
schedule() // never return |
We fix the problem by first calling prepare_to_wait() and only after that
checking t_updates in jbd2_journal_lock_updates().
