ext4: fix a cause of __schedule_bug via blkdev_releasepage
From: Toshiyuki Okajima <[email protected]>
A cause of this problem is calling jbd2_log_wait_commit() on
jbd2_journal_try_to_free_buffers() with a read-lock via blkdev_releasepage().
This logic is for uncommitted data buffers. And a read/write-lock is required
for a client usage of blkdev_releasepage.
By the way, we want to release only metadata buffers on ext4_release_metadata().
Because a page which binds to blkdev is used as metadata for ext4.
Therefore we don't need to wait for a commit on
jbd2_journal_try_to_free_buffers() via ext4_release_matadata().
As a result, we add a jbd2_journal_try_to_free_metadata_buffers() almost same
as jbd2_journal_try_to_free_buffers() except not calling jbd2_log_wait_commit().
So, we change jbd2_journal_try_to_free_buffers() with
jbd2_journal_try_to_free_metadata_buffers().
