    jbd: Fix forever sleeping process in do_get_write_access() · 2842bb20
    Jan Kara authored
    In do_get_write_access() we wait on BH_Unshadow bit for buffer to get
    from shadow state. The waking code in journal_commit_transaction() has
    a bug because it does not issue a memory barrier after the buffer is moved
    from the shadow state and before wake_up_bit() is called. Thus a waitqueue
    check can happen before the buffer is actually moved from the shadow state
    and waiting process may never be woken. Fix the problem by issuing proper
    barrier.
