On umount path, jbd2_journal_destroy() writes latest transaction ID (->j_tail_sequence) to be used at next mount. The bug is that ->j_tail_sequence is not holding latest transaction ID in some cases. So, at next mount, there is chance to conflict with remaining (not overwritten yet) transactions. mount (id=10) write transaction (id=11) write transaction (id=12) umount (id=10) <= the bug doesn't write latest ID mount (id=10) write transaction (id=11) crash mount [recovery process] transaction (id=11) transaction (id=12) <= valid transaction ID, but old commit must not replay Like above, this bug become the cause of recovery failure, or FS corruption. So why ->j_tail_sequence doesn't point latest ID? Because if checkpoint transactions was reclaimed by memory pressure (i.e. bdev_try_to_free_page()), then ->j_tail_sequence is not updated. (And another case is, __jbd2_journal_clean_checkpoint_list() is called with empty transaction.) So in above cases, ->j_tail_sequence is not pointing latest transaction ID at umount path. Plus, REQ_FLUSH for checkpoint is not done too. So, to fix this problem with minimum changes, this patch updates ->j_tail_sequence, and issue REQ_FLUSH. (With more complex changes, some optimizations would be possible to avoid unnecessary REQ_FLUSH for example though.) BTW, journal->j_tail_sequence = ++journal->j_transaction_sequence; Increment of ->j_transaction_sequence seems to be unnecessary, but ext3 does this. Signed-off-by:
