ext4: fix WARN_ON_ONCE(!buffer_uptodate) after an error writing the superblock
If a writeback of the superblock fails with an I/O error, the buffer is marked not uptodate. However, this can cause a WARN_ON to trigger when we attempt to write superblock a second time. (Which might succeed this time, for cerrtain types of block devices such as iSCSI devices over a flaky network.) Try to detect this case in flush_stashed_error_work(), and also change __ext4_handle_dirty_metadata() so we always set the uptodate flag, not just in the nojournal case. Before this commit, this problem can be repliciated via: 1. dmsetup create dust1 --table '0 2097152 dust /dev/sdc 0 4096' 2. mount /dev/mapper/dust1 /home/test 3. dmsetup message dust1 0 addbadblock 0 10 4. cd /home/test 5. echo "XXXXXXX" > t After a few seconds, we got following warning: [ 80.654487] end_buffer_async_write: bh=0xffff88842f18bdd0 [ 80.656134] Buffer I/O error on dev dm-0, logical block 0, lost async page write [ 85.774450] EXT4-fs error (device dm-0): ext4_check_bdev_write_error:193: comm kworker/u16:8: Error while async write back metadata [ 91.415513] mark_buffer_dirty: bh=0xffff88842f18bdd0 [ 91.417038] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 91.418450] WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 1944 at fs/buffer.c:1092 mark_buffer_dirty.cold+0x1c/0x5e [ 91.440322] Call Trace: [ 91.440652] __jbd2_journal_temp_unlink_buffer+0x135/0x220 [ 91.441354] __jbd2_journal_unfile_buffer+0x24/0x90 [ 91.441981] __jbd2_journal_refile_buffer+0x134/0x1d0 [ 91.442628] jbd2_journal_commit_transaction+0x249a/0x3240 [ 91.443336] ? put_prev_entity+0x2a/0x200 [ 91.443856] ? kjournald2+0x12e/0x510 [ 91.444324] kjournald2+0x12e/0x510 [ 91.444773] ? woken_wake_function+0x30/0x30 [ 91.445326] kthread+0x150/0x1b0 [ 91.445739] ? commit_timeout+0x20/0x20 [ 91.446258] ? kthread_flush_worker+0xb0/0xb0 [ 91.446818] ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x30 [ 91.447293] ---[ end trace 66f0b6bf3d1abade ]--- Signed-off-by: Ye Bin <yebin10@huawei.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210615090537.3423231-1-yebin10@huawei.com Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
