jbd2: fix hung processes in jbd2_journal_lock_updates()
Toshiyuki Okajima found out that when running for ((i=0; i < 100000; i++)); do if ((i%2 == 0)); then chattr +j /mnt/file else chattr -j /mnt/file fi echo "0" >> /mnt/file done process sometimes hangs indefinitely in jbd2_journal_lock_updates(). Toshiyuki identified that the following race happens: jbd2_journal_lock_updates() |jbd2_journal_stop() ---------------------------------------+--------------------------------------- write_lock(&journal->j_state_lock) | . ++journal->j_barrier_count | . spin_lock(&tran->t_handle_lock) | . atomic_read(&tran->t_updates) //not 0 | | atomic_dec_and_test(&tran->t_updates) | // t_updates = 0 | wake_up(&journal->j_wait_updates) prepare_to_wait() | // no process is woken up. spin_unlock(&tran->t_handle_lock) | write_unlock(&journal->j_state_lock) | schedule() // never return | We fix the problem by first calling prepare_to_wait() and only after that checking t_updates in jbd2_journal_lock_updates().
