From 2842bb20eed2e25cde5114298edc62c8883a1d9a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Kara Date: Thu, 5 May 2011 13:59:35 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] jbd: Fix forever sleeping process in do_get_write_access() In do_get_write_access() we wait on BH_Unshadow bit for buffer to get from shadow state. The waking code in journal_commit_transaction() has a bug because it does not issue a memory barrier after the buffer is moved from the shadow state and before wake_up_bit() is called. Thus a waitqueue check can happen before the buffer is actually moved from the shadow state and waiting process may never be woken. Fix the problem by issuing proper barrier.
