Subject: [PATCH v2] ext4: fix warning when submitting superblock in ext4_commit_super()
Date: Fri, 20 May 2022 10:32:16 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220520023216.3065073-1-yi.zhang@huawei.com> (raw)

We have already check the io_error and uptodate flag before submitting
the superblock buffer, and re-set the uptodate flag if it has been
failed to write out. But it was lockless and could be raced by another
ext4_commit_super(), and finally trigger '!uptodate' WARNING when
marking buffer dirty. Fix it by submit buffer directly.

Reported-by: Hulk Robot <hulkci@huawei.com>

v2->v1:
 - Add clear_buffer_dirty() before submit_bh().
