Subject: [PATCH v2] ocfs2: drain fs_state readers before journal teardown
Date: Sat, 31 Oct 2026 13:13:35 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <pm-ocfs2-objects-candidate-0003-v7-1522d068e5b943786c3e@gmail.com> (raw)
The per-mount fs_state open callback formats journal fields through
osb->journal. Its debugfs active-user guard protects the open callback,
but does not keep the journal allocated after journal shutdown.
Both unmount and the mount-error path in ocfs2_mount_volume() can free
and clear the journal before the debugfs subtree is removed:
fs_state reader Mount cleanup
--------------- -------------
enter ocfs2_osb_debug_open()
ocfs2_osb_dump()
load osb->journal
ocfs2_journal_shutdown()
free journal; clear pointer
read journal fields
leave the open callback
remove the debugfs subtree
Remove fs_state before cleanup releases its backing state in both
callers of ocfs2_journal_shutdown(). Debugfs removal prevents new opens
and waits for admitted open callbacks to finish. Later reads and release
use only the per-open snapshot buffer, so they do not need the journal.
Keep removal in the caller paths while the per-mount debugfs parent is
still present. The remaining debug files retain their teardown order.
