ext4: ignore EXT4_INODE_JOURNAL_DATA flag with delalloc
Ext4 does not support data journalling with delayed allocation enabled. We even do not allow to mount the file system with delayed allocation and data journalling enabled, however it can be set via FS_IOC_SETFLAGS so we can hit the inode with EXT4_INODE_JOURNAL_DATA set even on file system mounted with delayed allocation (default) and that's where problem arises. The easies way to reproduce this problem is with the following set of commands: mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdd mount /dev/sdd /mnt/test1 dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/test1/file bs=1M count=4 chattr +j /mnt/test1/file dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/test1/file bs=1M count=4 conv=notrunc chattr -j /mnt/test1/file Additionally it can be reproduced quite reliably with xfstests 272 and 269. In fact the above reproducer is a part of test 272. To fix this we should ignore the EXT4_INODE_JOURNAL_DATA inode flag if the file system is mounted with delayed allocation. This can be easily done by fixing ext4_should_*_data() functions do ignore data journal flag when delalloc is set (suggested by Ted). We also have to set the appropriate address space operations for the inode (again, ignoring data journal flag if delalloc enabled). Additionally this commit introduces ext4_inode_journal_mode() function because ext4_should_*_data() has already had a lot of common code and this change is putting it all into one function so it is easier to read. Successfully tested with xfstests in following configurations: delalloc + data=ordered delalloc + data=writeback data=journal nodelalloc + data=ordered nodelalloc + data=writeback nodelalloc + data=journal Signed-off-by: Lukas Czerner <lczerner@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
