Following process makes ext4 load stale buffer heads from last failed
mounting in a new mounting operation:
mount_bdev
ext4_fill_super
| ext4_load_and_init_journal
| ext4_load_journal
| jbd2_journal_load
| load_superblock
| journal_get_superblock
| set_buffer_verified(bh) // buffer head is verified
| jbd2_journal_recover // failed caused by EIO
| goto failed_mount3a // skip 'sb->s_root' initialization
deactivate_locked_super
kill_block_super
generic_shutdown_super
if (sb->s_root)
// false, skip ext4_put_super->invalidate_bdev->
// invalidate_mapping_pages->mapping_evict_folio->
// filemap_release_folio->try_to_free_buffers, which
// cannot drop buffer head.
blkdev_put
blkdev_put_whole
if (atomic_dec_and_test(&bdev->bd_openers))
// false, systemd-udev happens to open the device. Then
// blkdev_flush_mapping->kill_bdev->truncate_inode_pages->
// truncate_inode_folio->truncate_cleanup_folio->
// folio_invalidate->block_invalidate_folio->
// filemap_release_folio->try_to_free_buffers will be skipped,
// dropping buffer head is missed again.
Second mount:
ext4_fill_super
ext4_load_and_init_journal
ext4_load_journal
ext4_get_journal
jbd2_journal_init_inode
journal_init_common
bh = getblk_unmovable
bh = __find_get_block // Found stale bh in last failed mounting
journal->j_sb_buffer = bh
jbd2_journal_load
load_superblock
journal_get_superblock
if (buffer_verified(bh))
// true, skip journal->j_format_version = 2, value is 0
jbd2_journal_recover
do_one_pass
next_log_block += count_tags(journal, bh)
// According to journal_tag_bytes(), 'tag_bytes' calculating is
// affected by jbd2_has_feature_csum3(), jbd2_has_feature_csum3()
// returns false because 'j->j_format_version >= 2' is not true,
// then we get wrong next_log_block. The do_one_pass may exit
// early whenoccuring non JBD2_MAGIC_NUMBER in 'next_log_block'.
The filesystem is corrupted here, journal is partially replayed, and
new journal sequence number actually is already used by last mounting.
The invalidate_bdev() can drop all buffer heads even racing with bare
reading block device(eg. systemd-udev), so we can fix it by invalidating
bdev in error handling path in __ext4_fill_super().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
