[PATCH 0/8 v2 PARTIAL] ext4: Fix error handling

[Jan Kara]

Hello,

This is repost of the second half of the series originally posted here [1].
I'm reposting just this part because Ted has already picked up first 7 patches.

Changes since v1:
* Added missed bdev_read_only() check spotted by Harshad
* Added one more fix and one more cleanup for related problems noticed by
  Andreas

[PATCH 1/8] ext4: Combine ext4_handle_error() and save_error_info()

[Jan Kara]

save_error_info() is always called together with ext4_handle_error().
Combine them into a single call and move unconditional bits out of
save_error_info() into ext4_handle_error().

[PATCH 3/8] ext4: Protect superblock modifications with a buffer lock

[Jan Kara]

Protect all superblock modifications (including checksum computation)
with a superblock buffer lock. That way we are sure computed checksum
matches current superblock contents (a mismatch could cause checksum
failures in nojournal mode or if an unjournalled superblock update races
with a journalled one). Also we avoid modifying superblock contents
while it is being written out (which can cause DIF/DIX failures if we
are running in nojournal mode).

[PATCH 4/8] ext4: Save error info to sb through journal if available

[Jan Kara]

If journalling is still working at the moment we get to writing error
information to the superblock we cannot write directly to the superblock
as such write could race with journalled update of the superblock and
cause journal checksum failures, writing inconsistent information to the
journal or other problems. We cannot journal the superblock directly
from the error handling functions as we are running in uncertain context
and could deadlock so just punt journalled superblock update to a
workqueue.

[PATCH 6/8] ext4: Fix deadlock with fs freezing and EA inodes

[Jan Kara]

Xattr code using inodes with large xattr data can end up dropping last
inode reference (and thus deleting the inode) from places like
ext4_xattr_set_entry(). That function is called with transaction started
and so ext4_evict_inode() can deadlock against fs freezing like:

CPU1					CPU2

removexattr()				freeze_super()
  vfs_removexattr()
    ext4_xattr_set()
      handle = ext4_journal_start()
      ...
      ext4_xattr_set_entry()
        iput(old_ea_inode)
          ext4_evict_inode(old_ea_inode)
					  sb->s_writers.frozen = SB_FREEZE_FS;
					  sb_wait_write(sb, SB_FREEZE_FS);
					  ext4_freeze()
					    jbd2_journal_lock_updates()
					      -> blocks waiting for all
					         handles to stop
            sb_start_intwrite()
	      -> blocks as sb is already in SB_FREEZE_FS state

Generally it is advisable to delete inodes from a separate transaction
as it can consume quite some credits however in this case it would be
quite clumsy and furthermore the credits for inode deletion are quite
limited and already accounted for. So just tweak ext4_evict_inode() to
avoid freeze protection if we have transaction already started and thus
it is not really needed anyway.
