      jbd2: fix potential memory leak on transaction commit · 6cba611e
      Zhang Huan authored
      There is potential memory leak of journal head in function
      jbd2_journal_commit_transaction. The problem is that JBD2 will not
      reclaim the journal head of commit record if error occurs or journal
      is abotred.
      
      I use the following script to reproduce this issue, on a RHEL6
      system. I found it very easy to reproduce with async commit enabled.
      
      mount /dev/sdb /mnt -o journal_checksum,journal_async_commit
      touch /mnt/xxx
      echo offline > /sys/block/sdb/device/state
      sync
      umount /mnt
      rmmod ext4
      rmmod jbd2
      
      Removal of the jbd2 module will make slab complaining that
      "cache `jbd2_journal_head': can't free all objects".
