[PATCH 3.12 047/123] jbd2: fix ocfs2 corrupt when updating journal superblock fails

From: Jiri Slaby
Date: Tue Aug 04 2015 - 11:09:42 EST


From: Joseph Qi <joseph.qi@xxxxxxxxxx>

3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit 6f6a6fda294506dfe0e3e0a253bb2d2923f28f0a upstream.

If updating journal superblock fails after journal data has been
flushed, the error is omitted and this will mislead the caller as a
normal case. In ocfs2, the checkpoint will be treated successfully
and the other node can get the lock to update. Since the sb_start is
still pointing to the old log block, it will rewrite the journal data
during journal recovery by the other node. Thus the new updates will
be overwritten and ocfs2 corrupts. So in above case we have to return
the error, and ocfs2_commit_cache will take care of the error and
prevent the other node to do update first. And only after recovering
journal it can do the new updates.

The issue discussion mail can be found at:

[ Fixed bug in patch which allowed a non-negative error return from
jbd2_cleanup_journal_tail() to leak out of jbd2_fjournal_flush(); this
was causing xfstests ext4/306 to fail. -- Ted ]
