Subject: Re: [PATCH -v2] jbd2: instrument jh on wrong transaction BUG_ON's

Hi Ted:

With your latest patch, here's the console output.  And no, there are
no interesting messages prior to the crash.

where 0xffffffff812a159f is in the printk() , line 1126; it looks like
journal->j_committing_transaction is not NULL, but isn't valid either:

   0xffffffff812a1597 <+407>:   xor    %r8d,%r8d  ; put 0 into %r8d
   0xffffffff812a159a <+410>:   test   %rcx,%rcx  ; %rcx is
journal->j_committing_transaction, I think
   0xffffffff812a159d <+413>:   je     0xffffffff812a15a3
<jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata+419>  ; if 0, jump over next instruction
   0xffffffff812a159f <+415>:   mov    0x8(%rcx),%r8d ; put ->t_tid into %r8d

I reformatted/mounted both the main and scratch devices before running
the test, and

export EXT_MOUNT_OPTIONS="-o block_validity,data=journal"
export MKFS_OPTIONS="-t ext4 -O has_journal"
