[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.19 04/21] jbd2: abort journal if free a async write error metadata buffer

From: Sasha Levin
Date: Mon Aug 24 2020 - 12:59:35 EST


From: "zhangyi (F)" <yi.zhang@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit c044f3d8360d2ecf831ba2cc9f08cf9fb2c699fb ]

If we free a metadata buffer which has been failed to async write out
in the background, the jbd2 checkpoint procedure will not detect this
failure in jbd2_log_do_checkpoint(), so it may lead to filesystem
inconsistency after cleanup journal tail. This patch abort the journal
if free a buffer has write_io_error flag to prevent potential further
inconsistency.
