jbd2: fix the inconsistency between checksum and data in memory for journal sb
Copying the file system while it is mounted as read-only results in a mount failure: [~]# mkfs.ext4 -F /dev/sdc [~]# mount /dev/sdc -o ro /mnt/test [~]# dd if=/dev/sdc of=/dev/sda bs=1M [~]# mount /dev/sda /mnt/test1 [ 1094.849826] JBD2: journal checksum error [ 1094.850927] EXT4-fs (sda): Could not load journal inode mount: mount /dev/sda on /mnt/test1 failed: Bad message The process described above is just an abstracted way I came up with to reproduce the issue. In the actual scenario, the file system was mounted read-only and then copied while it was still mounted. It was found that the mount operation failed. The user intended to verify the data or use it as a backup, and this action was performed during a version upgrade. Above issue may happen as follows: ext4_fill_super set_journal_csum_feature_set(sb) if (ext4_has_metadata_csum(sb)) incompat = JBD2_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_CSUM_V3; if (test_opt(sb, JOURNAL_CHECKSUM) jbd2_journal_set_features(sbi->s_journal, compat, 0, incompat); lock_buffer(journal->j_sb_buffer); sb->s_feature_incompat |= cpu_to_be32(incompat); //The data in the journal sb was modified, but the checksum was not updated, so the data remaining in memory has a mismatch between the data and the checksum. unlock_buffer(journal->j_sb_buffer); In this case, the journal sb copied over is in a state where the checksum and data are inconsistent, so mounting fails. To solve the above issue, update the checksum in memory after modifying the journal sb.
