From 4407c2b6b297339e296facf62e020cf66e55053d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Kara Date: Tue, 6 Sep 2005 15:19:17 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Fix race in do_get_write_access() attached patch should fix the following race: Proc 1 Proc 2 __flush_batch() ll_rw_block() do_get_write_access() lock_buffer jh is only waiting for checkpoint -> b_transaction == NULL -> do nothing unlock_buffer test_set_buffer_locked() test_clear_buffer_dirty() __journal_file_buffer() change the data submit_bh() and we have sent wrong data to disk... We now clean the dirty buffer flag under buffer lock in all cases and hence we know that whenever a buffer is starting to be journaled we either finish the pending write-out before attaching a buffer to a transaction or we won't write the buffer until the transaction is going to be committed. The test in jbd_unexpected_dirty_buffer() is redundant - remove it. Furthermore we have to clear the buffer dirty bit under the buffer lock to prevent races with buffer write-out (and hence prevent returning a buffer with IO happening).
