[Ocfs2-devel] [PATCH V2] ocfs2: call ocfs2_journal_access_di() before ocfs2_journal_dirty() in ocfs2_write_end_nolock()

[yangwenfang <vicky.yangwenfang@huawei.com>]

1.After we call ocfs2_journal_access_di() in ocfs2_write_begin(),
jbd2_journal_restart() may also be called, in this function
transaction A's t_updates-- and obtains a new transaction B.
If jbd2_journal_commit_transaction() is happened to commit
transaction A, when t_updates==0, it will continue to complete
commit and unfile buffer.

So when jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata(), the handle is pointed a new
transaction B, and the buffer head's journal head is already freed,
jh->b_transaction == NULL, jh->b_next_transaction == NULL,
it returns EINVAL, So it triggers the BUG_ON(status).

thread 1:                             jbd2:
ocfs2_write_begin                     jbd2_journal_commit_transaction
ocfs2_write_begin_nolock
  ocfs2_start_trans
    jbd2__journal_start(t_updates+1,
                       transaction A)
    ocfs2_journal_access_di
    ocfs2_write_cluster_by_desc
      ocfs2_mark_extent_written
        ocfs2_change_extent_flag
          ocfs2_split_extent
            ocfs2_extend_rotate_transaction
              jbd2_journal_restart
              (t_updates-1,transaction B) t_updates==0
                                        __jbd2_journal_refile_buffer

ocfs2_write_end
ocfs2_write_end_nolock
    ocfs2_journal_dirty
        jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata(bug)
   ocfs2_commit_trans

2. In ext4, I found that: jbd2_journal_get_write_access() called by
ext4_write_end.
ext4_write_begin
    ext4_journal_start
        __ext4_journal_start_sb
            ext4_journal_check_start
            jbd2__journal_start

ext4_write_end
    ext4_mark_inode_dirty
        ext4_reserve_inode_write
            ext4_journal_get_write_access
                jbd2_journal_get_write_access
        ext4_mark_iloc_dirty
            ext4_do_update_inode
                ext4_handle_dirty_metadata
                    jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata

3.So I think we should put ocfs2_journal_access_di before
ocfs2_journal_dirty in the ocfs2_write_end.
and it works well after my modification.
