After commit da5e7c87827e8 ("ocfs2: cleanup journal init and shutdown"),
journal init later than before, it makes NULL pointer access in free
routine.
Crash flow:
ocfs2_fill_super
+ ocfs2_mount_volume
| + ocfs2_dlm_init //fail & return, osb->journal is NULL.
| + ...
| + ocfs2_check_volume //no chance to init osb->journal
|
+ ...
+ ocfs2_dismount_volume
ocfs2_release_system_inodes
...
evict
...
ocfs2_clear_inode
ocfs2_checkpoint_inode
ocfs2_ci_fully_checkpointed
time_after(journal->j_trans_id, ci->ci_last_trans)
+ journal is empty, crash!
For fixing, there are three solutions:
1> Revert commit da5e7c87827e8
For avoiding kernel crash, this make sense for us. We only concerned
whether there has any non-system inode access before dlm init. The
answer is NO. And all journal replay/recovery handling happen after
dlm & journal init done. So this method is not graceful but workable.
2> Add osb->journal check in free inode routine (eg ocfs2_clear_inode)
The fix code is special for mounting phase, but it will continue
working after mounting stage. In another word, this method adds useless
code in normal inode free flow.
3> Do directly free inode in mounting phase
This method is brutal/complex and may introduce unsafe code, currently
maintainer didn't like.
At last, we chose method <1> and partly reverted commit da5e7c87827e8.
We reverted journal init code, and kept cleanup code flow.
Fixes: da5e7c87827e8 ("ocfs2: cleanup journal init and shutdown")
