jbd2: fix outstanding credits assert in jbd2_journal_commit_transacti…
…on() [ Upstream commit a89573c ] We catch an assert problem in jbd2_journal_commit_transaction() when doing fsstress and request falut injection tests. The problem is happened in a race condition between jbd2_journal_commit_transaction() and ext4_end_io_end(). Firstly, ext4_writepages() writeback dirty pages and start reserved handle, and then the journal was aborted due to some previous metadata IO error, jbd2_journal_abort() start to commit current running transaction, the committing procedure could be raced by ext4_end_io_end() and lead to subtract j_reserved_credits twice from commit_transaction->t_outstanding_credits, finally the t_outstanding_credits is mistakenly smaller than t_nr_buffers and trigger assert. kjournald2 kworker jbd2_journal_commit_transaction() write_unlock(&journal->j_state_lock); atomic_sub(j_reserved_credits, t_outstanding_credits); //sub once jbd2_journal_start_reserved() start_this_handle() //detect aborted journal jbd2_journal_free_reserved() //get running transaction read_lock(&journal->j_state_lock) __jbd2_journal_unreserve_handle() atomic_sub(j_reserved_credits, t_outstanding_credits); //sub again read_unlock(&journal->j_state_lock); journal->j_running_transaction = NULL; J_ASSERT(t_nr_buffers <= t_outstanding_credits) //bomb!!! Fix this issue by using journal->j_state_lock to protect the subtraction in jbd2_journal_commit_transaction().
