Subject: [PATCH] [RFC] Fix data missing when reusing bh which is ready to be checkpointed

From: zhanchengbin <zhanchengbin1@...wei.com>

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'data lost.

Fix it by wrapping clear_buffer_dirty(bh) and jh->b_transaction setting
into journal->j_list_lock, so that jbd2_log_do_checkpoint() will wait
until jh's new transaction fininshed even bh is currently not dirty.

 This is a quick fix, I need some suggestions about this patch, whether
 it will import new problems if this patch is applied.
 Yi suggests that the formal solution could be splitting
 journal->j_list_lock into two locks: one protects checkpoint list and
 the other one for other lists. Besides, jh->b_state_lock should be
 held while traversing transaction->t_checkpoint_list in
 jbd2_log_do_checkpoint()/journal_shrink_one_cp_list().
