This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled jbd2: Fix unreclaimed pages after truncate in data=journal mode to the linux-4.2.y-queue branch of the 4.2.y-ckt extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/ubuntu/linux.git/log/?h=linux-4.2.y-queue This patch is scheduled to be released in version 4.2.8-ckt2. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 4.2.y-ckt tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Kamal ---8<------------------------------------------------------------ From 527fb58ce25d4827190377e899b7e3bee6e1c137 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Date: Tue, 24 Nov 2015 15:34:35 -0500 Subject: jbd2: Fix unreclaimed pages after truncate in data=journal mode commit bc23f0c8d7ccd8d924c4e70ce311288cb3e61ea8 upstream. Ted and Namjae have reported that truncated pages don't get timely reclaimed after being truncated in data=journal mode. The following test triggers the issue easily: for (i = 0; i < 1000; i++) { pwrite(fd, buf, 1024*1024, 0); fsync(fd); fsync(fd); ftruncate(fd, 0); } The reason is that journal_unmap_buffer() finds that truncated buffers are not journalled (jh->b_transaction == NULL), they are part of checkpoint list of a transaction (jh->b_cp_transaction != NULL) and have been already written out (!buffer_dirty(bh)). We clean such buffers but we leave them in the checkpoint list. Since checkpoint transaction holds a reference to the journal head, these buffers cannot be released until the checkpoint transaction is cleaned up. And at that point we don't call release_buffer_page() anymore so pages detached from mapping are lingering in the system waiting for reclaim to find them and free them. Fix the problem by removing buffers from transaction checkpoint lists when journal_unmap_buffer() finds out they don't have to be there anymore.
