Subject: [PATCH v2] jbd2: make sure jh have b_transaction set in refile/unfile_buffer
Date: Wed, 17 Jun 2020 11:25:49 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200617092549.6712-1-lczerner@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200617091031.6558-1-lczerner@redhat.com>

Callers of __jbd2_journal_unfile_buffer() and
__jbd2_journal_refile_buffer() assume that the b_transaction is set. In
fact if it's not, we can end up with journal_head refcounting errors
leading to crash much later that might be very hard to track down. Add
asserts to make sure that is the case.

We also make sure that b_next_transaction is NULL in
__jbd2_journal_unfile_buffer() since the callers expect that as well and
we should not get into that stage in this state anyway, leading to
problems later on if we do.

Tested with fstests.
