[Cluster-devel] [GFS2 PATCH] gfs2: init_journal's undo directive should also undo the statfs inodes

Hi,

Before this patch, function init_journal's "undo" directive jumped to label
fail_jinode_gh. But now that it does statfs initialization, it needs to
jump to fail_statfs instead. Failure to do so means that mount failures
after init_journal is successful will neglect to let go of the proper
statfs information, stranding the statfs_changeX inodes. This makes it
impossible to free its glocks, and results in:

 gfs2: fsid=sda.s: G:  s:EX n:2/805f f:Dqob t:EX d:UN/603701000 a:0 v:0 r:4 m:200 p:1
 gfs2: fsid=sda.s:  H: s:EX f:H e:0 p:1397947 [(ended)] init_journal+0x548/0x890 [gfs2]
 gfs2: fsid=sda.s:  I: n:6/32863 t:8 f:0x00 d:0x00000201 s:24 p:0
 gfs2: fsid=sda.s: G:  s:SH n:5/805f f:Dqob t:SH d:UN/603712000 a:0 v:0 r:3 m:200 p:0
 gfs2: fsid=sda.s:  H: s:SH f:EH e:0 p:1397947 [(ended)] gfs2_inode_lookup+0x1fb/0x410 [gfs2]
 VFS: Busy inodes after unmount of sda. Self-destruct in 5 seconds.  Have a nice day...

The next time the file system is mounted, it then reuses the same glocks,
which ends in a kernel NULL pointer dereference when trying to dump the
reused glock.

This patch makes the "undo" function of init_journal jump to fail_statfs
so the statfs files are properly deconstructed upon failure.
