3.5.7.17 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Jan Kara <[email protected]> commit e643692138cfa33528f054b071ba2583509bb217 upstream. In data=journal mode, if we unmount the file system before a transaction has a chance to complete, when the journal inode is being evicted, we can end up calling into log_wait_commit() for the last transaction, after the journalling machinery has been shut down. That triggers the WARN_ONCE in __log_start_commit(). Arguably we should adjust ext3_should_journal_data() to return FALSE for the journal inode, but the only place it matters is ext3_evict_inode(), and so it's to save a bit of CPU time, and to make the patch much more obviously correct by inspection(tm), we'll fix it by explicitly not trying to waiting for a journal commit when we are evicting the journal inode, since it's guaranteed to never succeed in this case. This can be easily replicated via: mount -t ext3 -o data=journal /dev/vdb /vdb ; umount /vdb This is a port of ext4 fix from Ted Ts'o.
