Currently, the only way to lock an allocation group is to hold the AGI and AGF buffers. If a repair needs to roll the transaction while repairing some AG metadata, it maintains that lock by holding the two buffers across the transaction roll and joins them afterwards. However, repair is not like other parts of XFS that employ the bhold - roll - bjoin sequence because it's possible that the AGI or AGF buffers are not actually dirty before the roll. This presents two problems -- First, we need to redirty those buffers to keep them moving along in the log to avoid pinning the log tail. Second, a clean buffer log item can detach from the buffer. If this happens, the buffer type state is discarded along with the bli and must be reattached before the next time the buffer is logged. If it is not, the logging code will complain and log recovery will not work properly. An earlier version of this patch tried to fix the second problem by re-setting the buffer type in the bli after joining the buffer to the new transaction, but that looked weird and didn't solve the first problem. Instead, solve both problems by logging the buffer before rolling the transaction. Signed-off-by: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
