linux-toradex.git/fs/ext4/super.c, branch v3.2.48 Linux kernel for Apalis and Colibri modules ext4: lock i_mutex when truncating orphan inodes 2013-06-19T01:16:46+00:00 Theodore Ts'o tytso@mit.edu 2012-12-27T06:42:48+00:00 547bb54d9d41a867765cb414754472a437ad279f commit 721e3eba21e43532e438652dd8f1fcdfce3187e7 upstream. Commit c278531d39 added a warning when ext4_flush_unwritten_io() is called without i_mutex being taken. It had previously not been taken during orphan cleanup since races weren't possible at that point in the mount process, but as a result of this c278531d39, we will now see a kernel WARN_ON in this case. Take the i_mutex in ext4_orphan_cleanup() to suppress this warning.

ext4: do not try to write superblock on ro remount w/o journal 2013-01-16T01:13:12+00:00 Michael Tokarev mjt@tls.msk.ru 2012-12-25T19:08:16+00:00 ad74aa67b8cf06b159cf72b08efe42533db49685 commit d096ad0f79a782935d2e06ae8fb235e8c5397775 upstream. When a journal-less ext4 filesystem is mounted on a read-only block device (blockdev --setro will do), each remount (for other, unrelated, flags, like suid=>nosuid etc) results in a series of scary messages from kernel telling about I/O errors on the device. This is becauese of the following code ext4_remount(): if (sbi->s_journal == NULL) ext4_commit_super(sb, 1); at the end of remount procedure, which forces writing (flushing) of a superblock regardless whenever it is dirty or not, if the filesystem is readonly or not, and whenever the device itself is readonly or not. We only need call ext4_commit_super when the file system had been previously mounted read/write. Thanks to Eric Sandeen for help in diagnosing this issue.
