The common pattern in JFS is to call txCommit then call txEnd to end a
transction. But if diWrite in txCommit fails (it fails when
read_cache_page fails to get a page), txAbortCommit will be called.
txAbortCommit will subsequently call txEnd and set tblk->next to
txAnchor.freetid. Later on, when the second txEnd gets called on the same
tid, the assertion assert(tblk->next) in txEnd will always fail.
void txEnd(tid_t tid)
{
struct tblock *tblk = tid_to_tblock(tid);
...
Assert == 0 -->
assert(tblk->next == 0);
/*
* insert tblock back on freelist
*/
Set to non zero -->
tblk->next = TxAnchor.freetid;
TxAnchor.freetid = tid;
...
}
here is an example:
int jfs_mkdir(struct inode *dip, struct dentry *dentry, int mode)
{
...
rc = txCommit(tid, 2, &iplist[0], 0);
out3:
txEnd(tid);
...
}
