Subject: [PATCH v2 18/21] jbd2: say what jbd2_freeze_jh_data()'s assertion is actually checking
Date: Thu,  6 Aug 2026 12:58:41 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <713ffb9c0cdfe55499b3cdd2c06a59a2c152c46c.1785951556.git.coshi036@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1785951556.git.coshi036@gmail.com>

The assertion that the buffer about to be copied out is up to date is
correct and stays, but its message - "Possible IO failure" - describes what
a buffer that is not up to date used to mean rather than what is being
checked.

Once this series stops clearing BH_Uptodate on write error, that reading is
wrong twice over.  A failed write no longer makes a buffer not up to date,
and a buffer that does carry BH_Write_EIO is fine here: it still holds
valid data and the journal will write it again.  What the assertion is
really guarding is that there is something valid to copy at all.

Say that instead.
