This patch lets ext4 journal deletion of data blocks. Besides this,
a unnecessary variable is removed.

I don't see the point of this patch; it seems to be a code
simplification, but in fact it introduces a bug which has to get fixed
in patch 3/5 of this series.
The code here is a little arcane, because if bh is non-null, then
count must be 1. This is expressed in the BUG_ON found in the
function:
> BUG_ON(bh && (count > 1));
The reason for this bit of complexity is to avoid needing to call
sb_find_get_block() in those places where we have the buffer_head
already. This happens in exactly two locations: in an error cleanup
path in fs/ext4/indirect.c, and when releasing an xattr block in
ext4_xattr_release_block().
The better way of dealing with this is to drop the bh argument from
ext4_free_blocks() completely, and explicitly call ext4_forget() on
the bh in those two functions.
This will require changing all of the call sites of
ext4_free_blocks(), but it simplifies the function signature as well
as simplifying the code.

Hi Ted,
The 2nd and 3rd patch aim to let ext4_free_blocks work with journal
mode. Consider that journal mode of a file is changed from ordered
mode to journal mode and several data blocks are deleted, then bh
passed in is NULL and sb_find_get_block returns NULL, but we need
ext4_forget to handle the data blocks to record them in revoke table.
I am not sure status of ext4 with journal mode, according code here it
seems that ext4 with journal mode does not work.
Yongqiang.

Ah, I see. This wasn't obvious from the commit description. Could
you combine patches #2 and #3, and add the above detail in the commit
description?

When switching from journal data mode, the data blocks
in journal will have no revoke record. Thus, data could be
corrupted during replay. However, there is no such problem in
switching to journal data mode. So we flush journal only in
the case that swithes from journal data mode.

Applied, with a slightly different (and more explanatory commit
message):
ext4: flush journal when switching from data=journal mode
From: Yongqiang Yang <xiaoqiangnk@gmail.com>
It's necessary to flush the journal when switching away from
data=journal mode. This is because there are no revoke records when
we are data blocks are journalled, which are required in the other
journal modes.
However, it is not necessary to flush the journal when switching into
data=journal mode, and flushing the journal is expensive. So let's
avoid it in that case.

Minor nit, but did you mean "when data blocks are journalled" ?

Yes! chattr +j can change journal mode of a file to data mode.

A revoked block in a transaction means the block is deleted by filesystem
in the transaction. If the block is reused in the same transaction, we
need to cancel revoke status of the block. We also should prohibit a block
from being revoked more than once in a transaction. So we need to look up
the revoke table to check if a given block is revoked, to acceletate the
looking up, jbd/jbd2 use revoked flag to cache status of a block.
Ok, we should clear revoked flag once the transaction is not running. Because
the revoking and cancelling revoke operate on a running transaction. Once
a transaction is non-running, revoked flag is useless.
Without this patch, the following case triggers a false journal error.
Given that a block is used as a meta block and is deleted(revoked) in ordered
mode, then the block is allocated as a data block to a file. Up to now,
user changes the file's journal mode from ordered to journaled, then truncates
the file. The block will be considered re-revoked by journal because it
has revoked flag in last transaction.

Though I tested your patch by my reproducer that caused a panic which you
pointed out, a panic did not happen.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
echo "a" > /tmp/a # file under an ext4 filesystem
chattr +j /tmp/a
echo "a" >> /tmp/a
chattr -j /tmp/a
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, this patch looks good to me.
