Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] jbd2: fix an oops problem
Date:   Tue, 11 Feb 2020 21:54:58 +0800
Message-ID: <20200211135500.40524-1-yi.zhang@huawei.com>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain
Sender: linux-ext4-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

Changes since v1:
 - Switch to clear b_modified just after set_buffer_freed() instead of
   reuse codes at the end of journal_unmap_buffer().
 - Switch to distinguish metadata buffers through the page mapping dev.

Thanks,
Yi.

We encountered a jbd2 oops problem on an aarch64 machine with 4K block
size and 64K page size when doing stress tests.

 Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000008

These patch set can fix this issue, the first patch is just a cleanup
patch, and the second one describe the root cause and fix it.


zhangyi (F) (2):
  jbd2: move the clearing of b_modified flag to the
    journal_unmap_buffer()
  jbd2: do not clear the BH_Mapped flag when forgetting a metadata
    buffer
