>From e93cba22bf3b576e6ac481d034b677188134bd7d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Kara Date: Wed, 16 Oct 2024 12:24:03 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] ext4: Make sure BH_New bit is cleared in ->write_end handler Currently we clear BH_New bit in case of error and also in the standard ext4_write_end() handler (in block_commit_write()). However ext4_journalled_write_end() misses this clearing and thus we are leaving stale BH_New bits behind. Generally ext4_block_write_begin() clears these bits before any harm can be done but in case blocksize < pagesize and we hit some error when processing a page with these stale bits, we'll try to zero buffers with these stale BH_New bits and jbd2 will complain (as buffers were not prepared for writing in this transaction). Fix the problem by clearing BH_New bits in ext4_journalled_write_end() and WARN if ext4_block_write_begin() sees stale BH_New bits.
