[PATCH] jbd2: Make b_frozen_data allocation always succeed

From: Zhihao Cheng
Date: Sat Oct 12 2024 - 04:41:28 EST


From: Zhihao Cheng <chengzhihao1@xxxxxxxxxx>

The b_frozen_data allocation should not be failed during journal
committing process, otherwise jbd2 will abort.
Since commit 490c1b444ce653d("jbd2: do not fail journal because of
frozen_buffer allocation failure") already added '__GFP_NOFAIL' flag
in do_get_write_access(), just add '__GFP_NOFAIL' flag for all allocations
in jbd2_journal_write_metadata_buffer(), like 'new_bh' allocation does.
Besides, remove all error handling branches for do_get_write_access().
