JBD2_REC_ERR flag used to indicate the errno has been updated when jbd2
aborted, and then __ext4_abort() and ext4_handle_error() can invoke
panic if ERRORS_PANIC is specified. But there is one exception, if jbd2
thread failed to submit commit record, it abort journal through
invoking __jbd2_journal_abort_hard() without set this flag, so we can
no longer panic. Fix this by set such flag even if there is no need to
record errno in the jbd2 super block.

Thanks for the patch. This indeed looks like a bug. I was trying hard to
understand why are we actually using __jbd2_journal_abort_hard() in
fs/jbd2/commit.c in the first place. And after some digging, I think it is
an oversight and we should just use jbd2_journal_abort(). The calls have been
introduced by commit 818d276ceb83a "ext4: Add the journal checksum
feature". Before that commit, we were just using jbd2_journal_abort() when
writing commit block failed. And when we use jbd2_journal_abort() from
everywhere, that will also deal with the problem you've found.
Also as a nice cleanup we could then just drop __jbd2_journal_abort_hard(),
__jbd2_journal_abort_soft() and have all the functionality in a single
function jbd2_journal_abort().

Indeed, it seems that we also need to record the errno if we failed to
submit commit block, I will remove __jbd2_journal_abort_hard() and combine
them in my next iteration.
Thanks,
Yi.

Hi Ted and Jan,
I am confusing about the commit fb7c02445c49 "ext4: pass
-ESHUTDOWN code to jbd2 layer" when I trying to cleanup the
__journal_abort_soft() and __jbd2_journal_abort_hard().
Before this commit, we will not record the errno if we shutdown the
filesystem no matter it has been aborted or not, so the errno will not
change.
After this commit, we record 0 to "sb->s_errno" for the first
jbd2_journal_abort(-ESHUTDOWN), and we also do not update the errno
if it has been aborted and record a no-zero errno because of the
follow checking.
+ if (journal->j_flags & JBD2_ABORT) {
+ write_unlock(&journal->j_state_lock);
+ if (!old_errno && old_errno != -ESHUTDOWN &&
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+ errno == -ESHUTDOWN)
+ jbd2_journal_update_sb_errno(journal);
+ return;
+ }
So the only modification of this patch is:
1) fix the lock;
2) set journal->j_errno = -ESHUTDOWN and JBD2_REC_ERR flag when we
invoke jbd2_journal_abort(-ESHUTDOWN). These two modifications
do not relate to the git log you mentioned.
I guess do you want to mean
if (old_errno && old_errno != -ESHUTDOWN && errno == -ESHUTDOWN) ?
If so, why we need to overwrite the last aborted errno to 0,
if the filesystem was already aborted for some reasons, will
it cover up the issue? Am I miss something?
Thanks,
Yi.
