Subject: [PATCH 03/19] jbd2: point the shadow buffer at the frozen data directly
Date: Sat,  1 Aug 2026 18:00:47 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <2824f30bbc43e6a0b318564fa641228e9a096e37.1785621505.git.coshi036@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1785621505.git.coshi036@gmail.com>

When a metadata buffer has to be copied out before it can be journalled,
jbd2_journal_write_metadata_buffer() writes jh->b_frozen_data rather than
the page cache copy.  b_frozen_data is kmalloc()ed, so folio_set_bh() makes
the shadow buffer point at a slab folio.

That is not something the buffer_head layer can reason about.  A slab folio
overloads ->mapping, so a shadow buffer looks like it belongs to an
address_space when it does not.  buffer_set_crypto_ctx() already has to use
folio_mapping() to avoid tripping over this, and it is the reason
mark_buffer_write_io_error() cannot be called on a shadow buffer today.

Point the shadow buffer at the frozen data itself instead: leave b_folio
NULL and set b_data.  The previous patch taught fs/buffer.c to submit such
a buffer.  The two commit-path checksum helpers are the only other users of
the shadow buffer's contents, and they take the data directly rather than
kmapping a folio that is already mapped.

Note that the shadow buffer must not be passed to bh_offset() while
b_folio is NULL.  All four callers that can see one are handled here and in
the previous patch.

Tested with ext4 mounted data=journal,journal_checksum on a metadata_csum
filesystem, writing files whose every block begins with the JBD2 magic so
that escaping forces the copy-out, then crashing with sysrq-b without
unmounting and replaying the journal on the next mount.  Recovery
completed, the file contents matched, e2fsck -fn was clean, and an
instrumented build confirmed the b_folio == NULL path was taken.
