ocfs2: extend transaction for ocfs2_remove_rightmost_path() and ocfs2_update_edge_lengths() before to avoid inconsistency between inode and et
I found that jbd2_journal_restart() is called in some places without
keeping things consistently before. However, jbd2_journal_restart() may
commit the handle's transaction and restart another one. If the first
transaction is committed successfully while another not, it may cause
filesystem inconsistency or read only. This is an effort to fix this
kind of problems.
This patch (of 3):
The following functions will be called while truncating an extent:
ocfs2_remove_btree_range
-> ocfs2_start_trans
-> ocfs2_remove_extent
-> ocfs2_truncate_rec
-> ocfs2_extend_rotate_transaction
-> jbd2_journal_restart if jbd2_journal_extend fail
-> ocfs2_rotate_tree_left
-> ocfs2_remove_rightmost_path
-> ocfs2_extend_rotate_transaction
-> ocfs2_unlink_subtree
-> ocfs2_update_edge_lengths
-> ocfs2_extend_trans
-> jbd2_journal_restart if jbd2_journal_extend fail
-> ocfs2_et_update_clusters
-> ocfs2_commit_trans
jbd2_journal_restart() may be called and it may happened that the buffers
dirtied in ocfs2_truncate_rec() are committed while buffers dirtied in
ocfs2_et_update_clusters() are not, the total clusters on extent tree and
i_clusters in ocfs2_dinode is inconsistency. So the clusters got from
ocfs2_dinode is incorrect, and it also cause read-only problem when call
ocfs2_commit_truncate() with the error message: "Inode %llu has empty
extent block at %llu".
We should extend enough credits for function ocfs2_remove_rightmost_path
and ocfs2_update_edge_lengths to avoid this inconsistency.
