From: Josef Bacik Subject: [PATCH] jbd: clear b_modified before moving the jh to a different transaction Date: Tue, 10 Jan 2012 13:12:55 -0500 Message-ID: <1326219175-4529-1-git-send-email-josef@redhat.com> To: linux-fsdevel@vger.kernel.org, linux-ext4@vger.kernel.org, jack@suse.cz Return-path: Received: from mx1.redhat.com ([209.132.183.28]:9999 "EHLO mx1.redhat.com" rhost-flags-OK-OK-OK-OK) by vger.kernel.org with ESMTP id S1755839Ab2AJSNV (ORCPT ); Tue, 10 Jan 2012 13:13:21 -0500 Sender: linux-ext4-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: If we are journalling data (ie journal=data or big symlinks) we can discard buffers and move them to different transactions to make sure they get cleaned up properly. The problem is b_modified could still be set from the last transaction that touched it, so putting it on the currently running transaction or setting it up to be put on the next transaction will run into problems if the buffer gets reused in that transaction as the space accounting logic won't be done, which will result in panics at commit time because t_nr_buffers will end up being more than t_outstanding_credits. Thanks to Jan Kara for pointing out the other part of this problem a few months ago.
