[-next,v3] jbd2: Fix data missing when reusing bh which is ready to be checkpointed
Commit Message
Following process will make data lost and could lead to a filesystem
corrupted problem:
1. jh(bh) is inserted into T1->t_checkpoint_list, bh is dirty, and
jh->b_transaction = NULL
2. T1 is added into journal->j_checkpoint_transactions.
3. Get bh prepare to write while doing checkpoing:
PA PB
do_get_write_access jbd2_log_do_checkpoint
spin_lock(&jh->b_state_lock)
if (buffer_dirty(bh))
clear_buffer_dirty(bh) // clear buffer dirty
set_buffer_jbddirty(bh)
transaction =
journal->j_checkpoint_transactions
jh = transaction->t_checkpoint_list
if (!buffer_dirty(bh))
__jbd2_journal_remove_checkpoint(jh)
// bh won't be flushed
jbd2_cleanup_journal_tail
__jbd2_journal_file_buffer(jh, transaction, BJ_Reserved)
4. Aborting journal/Power-cut before writing latest bh on journal area.
In this way we get a corrupted filesystem with bh's data lost.
Fix it by moving the clearing of buffer_dirty bit just before the call
to __jbd2_journal_file_buffer(), both bit clearing and jh->b_transaction
assignment are under journal->j_list_lock locked, so that
jbd2_log_do_checkpoint() will wait until jh's new transaction fininshed
even bh is currently not dirty. And journal_shrink_one_cp_list() won't
remove jh from checkpoint list if the buffer head is reused in
do_get_write_access().

v1->v2: Adopt Jan's suggestion, move the clearing of buffer_dirty bit
and __jbd2_journal_file_buffer() inside journal->j_list_lock
locking area.
v2->v3: Remove redundant assertions in in branch 'if (jh->b_transaction)'
Add reproducer link in commit message.

As far as I understand you want to say:
/*
* The buffer is going to be added to BJ_Reserved list now
* and nothing guarantees jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata()
* will be ever called for it. So we need to set jbddirty

Yes. The comment looks better than v3.
