Mount failed due to the checking result of the page(read from the superblock of loop dev) is not uptodate after wait_on_page_locked(page) returned in function cramfs_read: wait_on_page_locked(page); if (!PageUptodate(page)) { ... } The reason of the checking result of the page not uptodate: systemd-udevd read the loopX dev before mount, because the status of loopX is Lo_unbound at this time, so loop_make_request directly trigger the calling of io_end handler end_buffer_async_read, which called SetPageError(page). So It caused the page can't be set to uptodate in function end_buffer_async_read: if(page_uptodate && !PageError(page)) { SetPageUptodate(page); } Then mount operation is performed, it used the same page which is just accessed by systemd-udevd above, Because this page is not uptodate, it will launch a actual read via submit_bh, then wait on this page by calling wait_on_page_locked(page). When the I/O of the page done, io_end handler end_buffer_async_read is called, because no one cleared the page error(during the whole read path of mount), which is caused by systemd-udevd reading, so this page is still in "PageError" status, which can't be set to uptodate in function end_buffer_async_read, then caused mount failure. But sometimes mount succeed even through systemd-udeved read loopX dev just before, The reason is systemd-udevd launched other loopX read just between step 3.1 and 3.2, the steps as below: 1, loopX dev default status is Lo_unbound; 2, systemd-udved read loopX dev (page is set to PageError); 3, mount operation 1) set loopX status to Lo_bound; ==>systemd-udevd read loopX dev<== 2) read loopX dev(page has no error) 3) mount succeed As the loopX dev status is set to Lo_bound after step 3.1, so the other loopX dev read by systemd-udevd will go through the whole I/O stack, part of the call trace as below: SYS_read vfs_read do_sync_read blkdev_aio_read generic_file_aio_read do_generic_file_read: ClearPageError(page); mapping->a_ops->readpage(filp, page); here, mapping->a_ops->readpage() is blkdev_readpage. In latest kernel, some function name changed, the call trace as below: blkdev_read_iter generic_file_read_iter generic_file_buffered_read: /* * A previous I/O error may have been due to temporary * failures, eg. mutipath errors. * Pg_error will be set again if readpage fails. */ ClearPageError(page); /* Start the actual read. The read will unlock the page*/ error=mapping->a_ops->readpage(flip, page); We can see ClearPageError(page) is called before the actual read, then the read in step 3.2 succeed. This patch is to add the calling of ClearPageError just before the actual read of read path of cramfs mount. Without the patch, the call trace as below when performing cramfs mount: do_mount cramfs_read cramfs_blkdev_read read_cache_page do_read_cache_page: filler(data, page); or mapping->a_ops->readpage(data, page); With the patch, the call trace as below when performing mount: do_mount cramfs_read cramfs_blkdev_read read_cache_page: do_read_cache_page: ClearPageError(page); <== new add filler(data, page); or mapping->a_ops->readpage(data, page); With the patch, mount operation trigger the calling of ClearPageError(page) before the actual read, the page has no error if no additional page error happen when I/O done.
