<id>e62791a8c1aab4cb4fe22400627efd4e59ad3389</id>
<content type='text'>
(cherry picked from commit c88ccea3143975294f5a52097546bcbb75975f52)

The function jbd2_journal_start_commit() returns 1 if either a
transaction is committing or the function has queued a transaction
commit. But it returns 0 if we raced with somebody queueing the
transaction commit as well. This resulted in ext4_sync_fs() not
functioning correctly (description from Arthur Jones):

   In the case of a data=ordered umount with pending long symlinks
   which are delayed due to a long list of other I/O on the backing
   block device, this causes the buffer associated with the long
   symlinks to not be moved to the inode dirty list in the second
   phase of fsync_super.  Then, before they can be dirtied again,
   kjournald exits, seeing the UMOUNT flag and the dirty pages are
   never written to the backing block device, causing long symlink
   corruption and exposing new or previously freed block data to
   userspace.

This can be reproduced with a script created by Eric Sandeen
&lt;sandeen@redhat.com&gt;:

        #!/bin/bash

        umount /mnt/test2
        mount /dev/sdb4 /mnt/test2
        rm -f /mnt/test2/*
        dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/test2/bigfile bs=1M count=512
        touch /mnt/test2/thisisveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryverylongfilename
        ln -s /mnt/test2/thisisveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryverylongfilename
        /mnt/test2/link
        umount /mnt/test2
        mount /dev/sdb4 /mnt/test2
        ls /mnt/test2/

This patch fixes jbd2_journal_start_commit() to always return 1 when
there's a transaction committing or queued for commit.

trimed down version of commit 05496769e5da83ce22ed97345afd9c7b71d6bd24 upstream.

Some devices such as "cciss/c0d0p9" will cause jbd2 setup and teardown
failures when /proc filenames are created with embedded slashes.  This
is a slimmed down version of commit 05496769, with the stack reduction
aspects of the patch omitted to meet the -stable criteria.

<title>jbd2: Implement data=ordered mode handling via inodes</title>

<id>c851ed540173736e60d48b53b91a16ea5c903896</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch adds necessary framework into JBD2 to be able to track inodes
with each transaction and write-out their dirty data during transaction
commit time.

This new ordered mode brings all sorts of advantages such as possibility 
to get rid of journal heads and buffer heads for data buffers in ordered 
mode, better ordering of writes on transaction commit, simplification of
 some JBD code, no more anonymous pages when truncate of data being 
committed happens.  Also with this new ordered mode, delayed allocation 
on ordered mode is much simpler.

bdevname() fills the buffer that it is given as a parameter, so calling
strcpy() or snprintf() on the returned value is redundant (and probably not
guaranteed to work - I don't think strcpy and snprintf support overlapping
buffers.)
