From: dingdinghua Subject: [PATCH] fix race bwtween write_metadata_buffer and get_write_access Date: Thu, 9 Jul 2009 17:47:07 +0800 Message-ID: <1247132827-29614-1-git-send-email-dingdinghua85@gmail.com> Cc: dingdinghua To: linux-ext4@vger.kernel.org Return-path: Received: from wa-out-1112.google.com ([209.85.146.182]:8948 "EHLO wa-out-1112.google.com" rhost-flags-OK-OK-OK-OK) by vger.kernel.org with ESMTP id S1756021AbZGIJrO (ORCPT ); Thu, 9 Jul 2009 05:47:14 -0400 Received: by wa-out-1112.google.com with SMTP id j5so6076wah.21 for ; Thu, 09 Jul 2009 02:47:13 -0700 (PDT) Sender: linux-ext4-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: At committing phase, we call jbd2_journal_write_metadata_buffer to prepare log block's buffer_head, in this function, new_bh->b_data is set to b_frozen_data or bh_in->b_data. We call "jbd_unlock_bh_state(bh_in)" too early, since at this point , we haven't file bh_in to BJ_shadow list, and we may set new_bh->b_data to bh_in->b_data, at this time, another thread may call get write access of bh_in, modify bh_in->b_data and dirty it. So , if new_bh->b_data is set to bh_in->b_data, the committing transaction may flush the newly modified buffer content to disk, preserve work done in jbd2_journal_get_write_access is useless. jbd also has this problem.
