[PATCH 1/2] ubifs: Re-statistic cleaned znode count if commit failed

From: Zhihao Cheng
Date: Fri Nov 18 2022 - 03:41:26 EST


Dirty znodes will be written on flash in committing process with
following states:

process A | znode state
------------------------------------------------------
do_commit | DIRTY_ZNODE
ubifs_tnc_start_commit | DIRTY_ZNODE
get_znodes_to_commit | DIRTY_ZNODE | COW_ZNODE
layout_commit | DIRTY_ZNODE | COW_ZNODE
fill_gap | 0
write master | 0 or OBSOLETE_ZNODE

process B | znode state
------------------------------------------------------
do_commit | DIRTY_ZNODE[1]
ubifs_tnc_start_commit | DIRTY_ZNODE
get_znodes_to_commit | DIRTY_ZNODE | COW_ZNODE
ubifs_tnc_end_commit | DIRTY_ZNODE | COW_ZNODE
write_index | 0
write master | 0 or OBSOLETE_ZNODE[2] or
| DIRTY_ZNODE[3]

[1] znode is dirtied without concurrent committing process
[2] znode is copied up (re-dirtied by other process) before cleaned
up in committing process
[3] znode is re-dirtied after cleaned up in committing process

Currently, the clean znode count is updated in free_obsolete_znodes(),
which is called only in normal path. If do_commit failed, clean znode
count won't be updated, which triggers a failure ubifs assertion[4] in
ubifs_tnc_close():
ubifs_assert_failed [ubifs]: UBIFS assert failed: freed == n

[4] Commit 380347e9ca7682 ("UBIFS: Add an assertion for clean_zn_cnt").

Fix it by re-statisticing cleaned znode count in tnc_destroy_cnext().
