[PATCH] jbd: fix commit of ordered data buffers
Original commit code assumes, that when a buffer on BJ_SyncData list is locked, it is being written to disk. But this is not true and hence it can lead to a potential data loss on crash. Also the code didn't count with the fact that journal_dirty_data() can steal buffers from committing transaction and hence could write buffers that no longer belong to the committing transaction. Finally it could possibly happen that we tried writing out one buffer several times. The patch below tries to solve these problems by a complete rewrite of the data commit code. We go through buffers on t_sync_datalist, lock buffers needing write out and store them in an array. Buffers are also immediately refiled to BJ_Locked list or unfiled (if the write out is completed). When the array is full or we have to block on buffer lock, we submit all accumulated buffers for IO. [suitable for 2.6.18.x around the 2.6.19-rc2 timeframe] Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Cc: Badari Pulavarty <pbadari@us.ibm.com> Cc: <stable@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
