Hi Jan,

For journal in the inode case, journal bhs come from block device, which means buffers will be dropped after this line 'invalidate_bdev(sb->s_bdev)' being executed.

- if (sbi->s_journal_bdev && sbi->s_journal_bdev != sb->s_bdev) {
- /*
- * Invalidate the journal device's buffers. We don't want them
- * floating about in memory - the physical journal device may

sync_blockdev(sbi->s_journal_bdev);

ext4_blkdev_remove(sbi);
}
> Hum, but this will invalidate bhs only if journal is stored on a block
device. If journal is in the inode (the common case), we won't invalidate
anything (sbi->s_journal_bdev is NULL) and the same problem can happen?
