Hello!
Recently I have found a serious problem in sys_swapon/ext3 code.
The host configuration is the following
[root@ts3 root]# mount
/dev/sda2 on / type ext2 (rw)
/dev/sdd1 on /vz type ext3 (rw)
[root@ts3 root]#
if one executes
[root@ts3 root]# strace swapon /dev/sdd1
......skipped.....
stat64("/dev/sdd1", {st_mode=S_IFBLK|0660, st_rdev=makedev(8, 49), ...}) = 0
swapon("/dev/sdd1") = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
OOPS will occure after some time (kjournald, unmapped buffer in
__make_request), see the letter end. The shit was caused by the
following trace
discard_buffer
Trace; c0140d94 <discard_bh_page+44/80>
Trace; c012e208 <do_flushpage+28/30>
Trace; c012e224 <truncate_complete_page+14/50>
Trace; c012e3e6 <truncate_list_pages+186/1f0>
Trace; c012e49a <truncate_inode_pages+4a/80>
Trace; c0144770 <kill_bdev+20/30>
Trace; c0144866 <set_blocksize+e6/100>
Trace; c0138bc0 <sys_swapon+1d0/7f0>
Trace; c0106fd2 <system_call+32/38>
which discards buffer held in the journal->j_sb_buffer :(((
I do not see the obvious way to fix the problem right now. Please
note, that this partition is already mounted and swapon fails, but the
journal becomes corrupted :(
