    ext4: fix WARN_ON_ONCE(!buffer_uptodate) after an error writing the superblock · 558d6450
    Ye Bin authored
    If a writeback of the superblock fails with an I/O error, the buffer
    is marked not uptodate.  However, this can cause a WARN_ON to trigger
    when we attempt to write superblock a second time.  (Which might
    succeed this time, for cerrtain types of block devices such as iSCSI
    devices over a flaky network.)
    
    Try to detect this case in flush_stashed_error_work(), and also change
    __ext4_handle_dirty_metadata() so we always set the uptodate flag, not
    just in the nojournal case.
    
    Before this commit, this problem can be repliciated via:
    
    1. dmsetup  create dust1 --table  '0 2097152 dust /dev/sdc 0 4096'
    2. mount  /dev/mapper/dust1  /home/test
    3. dmsetup message dust1 0 addbadblock 0 10
    4. cd /home/test
    5. echo "XXXXXXX" > t
    
    After a few seconds, we got following warning:
