Following process will corrupt ext4 image:
Step 1:
jbd2_journal_commit_transaction
__jbd2_journal_insert_checkpoint(jh, commit_transaction)
// Put jh into trans1->t_checkpoint_list
journal->j_checkpoint_transactions = commit_transaction
// Put trans1 into journal->j_checkpoint_transactions
Step 2:
do_get_write_access
test_clear_buffer_dirty(bh) // clear buffer dirty，set jbd dirty
__jbd2_journal_file_buffer(jh, transaction) // jh belongs to trans2
Step 3:
drop_cache
journal_shrink_one_cp_list
jbd2_journal_try_remove_checkpoint
if (!trylock_buffer(bh)) // lock bh, true
if (buffer_dirty(bh)) // buffer is not dirty
__jbd2_journal_remove_checkpoint(jh)
// remove jh from trans1->t_checkpoint_list
Step 4:
jbd2_log_do_checkpoint
trans1 = journal->j_checkpoint_transactions
// jh is not in trans1->t_checkpoint_list
jbd2_cleanup_journal_tail(journal) // trans1 is done
Step 5: Power cut, trans2 is not committed, jh is lost in next mounting.
Fix it by checking 'jh->b_transaction' before remove it from checkpoint.

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.
