    nilfs2: fix state management in error path of log writing function · 6576dd66
    Ryusuke Konishi authored
    After commit a694291a ("nilfs2: separate wait function from
    nilfs_segctor_write") was applied, the log writing function
    nilfs_segctor_do_construct() was able to issue I/O requests continuously
    even if user data blocks were split into multiple logs across segments,
    but two potential flaws were introduced in its error handling.
    
    First, if nilfs_segctor_begin_construction() fails while creating the
    second or subsequent logs, the log writing function returns without
    calling nilfs_segctor_abort_construction(), so the writeback flag set on
    pages/folios will remain uncleared.  This causes page cache operations to
    hang waiting for the writeback flag.  For example,
    truncate_inode_pages_final(), which is called via nilfs_evict_inode() when
    an inode is evicted from memory, will hang.
    
    Second, the NILFS_I_COLLECTED flag set on normal inodes remain uncleared. 
    As a result, if the next log write involves checkpoint creation, that's
    fine, but if a partial log write is performed that does not, inodes with
    NILFS_I_COLLECTED set are erroneously removed from the "sc_dirty_files"
    list, and their data and b-tree blocks may not be written to the device,
    corrupting the block mapping.
    
    Fix these issues by uniformly calling nilfs_segctor_abort_construction()
    on failure of each step in the loop in nilfs_segctor_do_construct(),
    having it clean up logs and segment usages according to progress, and
    correcting the conditions for calling nilfs_redirty_inodes() to ensure
    that the NILFS_I_COLLECTED flag is cleared.
