[PATCH 0/2] fs: Fixup bdev_mark_dead callbacks for ext4 and xfs

[Jan Kara]

Hello,

Jens, I have found out the recently added handlers (sitting in your tree) of
.bdev_mark_dead callbacks in xfs and ext4 were wrongly using bdev->bd_holder
instead of bdev->bd_super and so they could never work. This series fixes them.

[PATCH 1/2] ext4: Fix crash in ext4_bdev_mark_dead()

[Jan Kara]

ext4_bdev_mark_dead() passes bdev->bd_holder to ext4_force_shutdown()
instead of bdev->bd_super leading to crashes. Fix it.

How does this crash? ext4_blkdev_get passes the sb as holder, and I
actually tested this code.

This is not to be confused with the blkdev_get_by_path in get_tree_bdev,
but that never ends up in ext4_bdev_mark_dead.

xfs_bdev_mark_dead is only called for the log and RT devices, for which
the mp is passed as holder to blkdev_get_by_path.  bd_super won't be
set for those devices, so this patch will introduce a crash and not fix
one.

Indeed, I have confused the method called for journal device with the
method called for the main filesystem device. Both my patches are wrong and
I'm sorry for the confusion!
