From 27ba5b67312a944576addc4df44ac3b709aabede Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Kara jack@suse.cz Date: Mon, 24 Jun 2024 19:01:19 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] jbd2: avoid infinite transaction commit loop

Commit 9f356e5a4f12 ("jbd2: Account descriptor blocks into t_outstanding_credits") started to account descriptor blocks into transactions outstanding credits. However it didn't appropriately decrease the maximum amount of credits available to userspace. Thus if the filesystem requests a transaction smaller than j_max_transaction_buffers but large enough that when descriptor blocks are added the size exceeds j_max_transaction_buffers, we confuse add_transaction_credits() into thinking previous handles have grown the transaction too much and enter infinite journal commit loop in start_this_handle() -> add_transaction_credits() trying to create transaction with enough credits available.

Fix the problem by properly accounting for transaction space reserved for descriptor blocks when verifying requested transaction handle size.
