      ext4: call ext4_forget() from ext4_free_blocks() · e6362609
      Theodore Ts'o authored
      Add the facility for ext4_forget() to be called from
      ext4_free_blocks().  This simplifies the code in a large number of
      places, and centralizes most of the work of calling ext4_forget() into
      a single place.
      
      Also fix a bug in the extents migration code; it wasn't calling
      ext4_forget() when releasing the indirect blocks during the
      conversion.  As a result, if the system cashed during or shortly after
      the extents migration, and the released indirect blocks get reused as
      data blocks, the journal replay would corrupt the data blocks.  With
      this new patch, fixing this bug was as simple as adding the
      EXT4_FREE_BLOCKS_FORGET flags to the call to ext4_free_blocks().

      ext4: move ext4_forget() to ext4_jbd2.c · d6797d14
      Theodore Ts'o authored
      The ext4_forget() function better belongs in ext4_jbd2.c.  This will
      allow us to do some cleanup of the ext4_journal_revoke() and
      ext4_journal_forget() functions, as well as giving us better error
      reporting since we can report the caller of ext4_forget() when things
      go wrong.

      ext4: make sure directory and symlink blocks are revoked · 50689696
      Theodore Ts'o authored
      When an inode gets unlinked, the functions ext4_clear_blocks() and
      ext4_remove_blocks() call ext4_forget() for all the buffer heads
      corresponding to the deleted inode's data blocks.  If the inode is a
      directory or a symlink, the is_metadata parameter must be non-zero so
      ext4_forget() will revoke them via jbd2_journal_revoke().  Otherwise,
      if these blocks are reused for a data file, and the system crashes
      before a journal checkpoint, the journal replay could end up
      corrupting these data blocks.
      
      Thanks to Curt Wohlgemuth for pointing out potential problems in this
      area.

      ext4: remove failed journal checksum check · cf40db13
      Theodore Ts'o authored
      Now that we are checking for failed journal checksums in the jbd2
      layer, we don't need to check in the ext4 mount path --- since a
      checksum fail will result in ext4_load_journal() returning an error,
      causing the file system to refuse to be mounted until e2fsck can deal
      with the problem.

      jbd2: don't wipe the journal on a failed journal checksum · e6a47428
      Theodore Ts'o authored
      If there is a failed journal checksum, don't reset the journal.  This
      allows for userspace programs to decide how to recover from this
      situation.  It may be that ignoring the journal checksum failure might
      be a better way of recovering the file system.  Once we add per-block
      checksums, we can definitely do better.  Until then, a system
      administrator can try backing up the file system image (or taking a
      snapshot) and and trying to determine experimentally whether ignoring
      the checksum failure or aborting the journal replay results in less
      data loss.
