jbd2: fix assertion failure in jbd2_journal_flush()
The following race is possible between start_this_handle() and someone calling jbd2_journal_flush(). Process A Process B start_this_handle(). if (journal->j_barrier_count) # false if (!journal->j_running_transaction) { #true read_unlock(&journal->j_state_lock); jbd2_journal_lock_updates() jbd2_journal_flush() write_lock(&journal->j_state_lock); if (journal->j_running_transaction) { # false ... wait for committing trans ... write_unlock(&journal->j_state_lock); ... write_lock(&journal->j_state_lock); if (!journal->j_running_transaction) { # true jbd2_get_transaction(journal, new_transaction); write_unlock(&journal->j_state_lock); goto repeat; # eventually blocks on j_barrier_count > 0 ... J_ASSERT(!journal->j_running_transaction); # fails We fix the race by rechecking j_barrier_count after reacquiring j_state_lock in exclusive mode.
