Subject: [PATCH V2] jbd2: flush_descriptor(): Do not decrease buffer head's ref count
Date: Mon,  5 Aug 2019 09:38:00 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190805040800.31743-1-chandan@linux.ibm.com> (raw)

When executing generic/388 on a ppc64le machine, we notice the following
call trace,

VFS: brelse: Trying to free free buffer
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 6637 at /root/repos/linux/fs/buffer.c:1195 __brelse+0x84/0xc0

The warning happens because flush_descriptor() drops bh reference it
does not own. The bh reference acquired by
jbd2_journal_get_descriptor_buffer() is owned by the log_bufs list and
gets released when this list is processed. The reference for doing IO is
only acquired in write_dirty_buffer() later in flush_descriptor().
