From a71e465f69be5be990c0d0eb1dbf22b2bf931183 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zhang Yi Date: Tue, 3 Dec 2024 09:44:07 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] jbd2: flush filesystem device before updating tail sequence [ Upstream commit a0851ea9cd555c333795b85ddd908898b937c4e1 ] When committing transaction in jbd2_journal_commit_transaction(), the disk caches for the filesystem device should be flushed before updating the journal tail sequence. However, this step is missed if the journal is not located on the filesystem device. As a result, the filesystem may become inconsistent following a power failure or system crash. Fix it by ensuring that the filesystem device is flushed appropriately.
