Subject: [PATCH v2 0/6] fix error flag covered by journal recovery

From: Ye Bin <[email protected]>

Diff v2 vs v1:
Move call 'j_replay_prepare_callback' and 'j_replay_end_callback' from
ext4_load_journal() to jbd2_journal_recover().

When do fault injection test, got issue as follows:
EXT4-fs (dm-5): warning: mounting fs with errors, running e2fsck is recommended
EXT4-fs (dm-5): Errors on filesystem, clearing orphan list.
EXT4-fs (dm-5): recovery complete
EXT4-fs (dm-5): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: data_err=abort,errors=remount-ro

EXT4-fs (dm-5): recovery complete
EXT4-fs (dm-5): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: data_err=abort,errors=remount-ro

Without do file system check, file system is clean when do second mount.
Theoretically, the kernel will not clear fs error flag. In errors=remount-ro
mode the last super block is commit directly. So super block in journal is
not uptodate. When do jounral recovery, the uptodate super block will be
covered by jounral data. If super block submit all failed after recover
journal, then file system error flag is lost. When do "fsck -a" couldn't
repair file system deeply.
To solve above issue we need to do extra handle when do super block journal
recovery.

Ye Bin (6):
jbd2: introduce callback for recovery journal
ext4: introudce helper for jounral recover handle
jbd2: do extra handle when do journal recovery
ext4: remove backup for super block when recovery journal
ext4: fix super block checksum error
ext4: make sure fs error flag setted before clear journal error

From: Ye Bin <[email protected]>

EXT4 file system's super block may submited by journal, however it
maybe submited directly when do error handle and also other scene.
So super block isn't uptodate in journal. So there is need to do
some extra handle when recover journal.

Thanks for the patches. Looking through the patches, I think this is a bit
of an overengineering for the problem at hand. The only thing that is
really worth preserving so that it is not lost after journal replay is the
error information. So in ext4_load_journal() I would just save that if
EXT4_ERROR_FS is set in es->s_state before journal replay and restore it
after journal replay. Sure if the superblock write during journal replay
succeeds but the write restoring the error information fails, we will loose
the error information but that is so unlikely in practice that I don't
think it is really worth complicating the code for it. Also the only
downside is we will loose the information there is some error in the
filesystem - we'll soon find that out again anyway :).

I think so, also add a error message if we failed to restoring the error
information, it could let us know what happened.

Yes, this solution seems a little cumbersome, but to solve the problem
of error
information loss, I can only think of this solution.
I re-analyzed the issue scenario. Because the error information of the
last journal
super block was not recorded. This will cause that the error flag will
not be updated
when the super block is submitted subsequently. However, when processing
orphan
list, the file system errors were recorded in the memory, and the orphan
list were
cleared directly, resulting in file system inconsistencies. To solve
above isuue, i sent
V3 patch.
