From: Shida Zhang <zhangshida@kylinos.cn>

On an old kernel version(4.19, ext3, data=journal, pagesize=64k),
an assertion failure will occasionally be triggered by the line below:
-----------
jbd2_journal_commit_transaction
{
...
J_ASSERT_BH(bh, !buffer_dirty(bh));
/*
* The buffer on BJ_Forget list and not jbddirty means
...
}
-----------

The same condition may also be applied to the lattest kernel version.

When blocksize < pagesize and we truncate a file, there can be buffers in
the mapping tail page beyond i_size. These buffers will be filed to
transaction's BJ_Forget list by ext4_journalled_invalidatepage() during
truncation. When the transaction doing truncate starts committing, we can
grow the file again. This calls __block_write_begin() which allocates new
blocks under these buffers in the tail page we go through the branch:

                        if (buffer_new(bh)) {
                                clean_bdev_bh_alias(bh);
                                if (folio_test_uptodate(folio)) {
                                        clear_buffer_new(bh);
                                        set_buffer_uptodate(bh);
                                        mark_buffer_dirty(bh);
                                        continue;
                                }
                                ...
                        }

Hence buffers on BJ_Forget list of the committing transaction get marked
dirty and this triggers the jbd2 assertion.

Teach ext4_block_write_begin() to properly handle files with data
journalling by avoiding dirtying them directly. Instead of
folio_zero_new_buffers() we use ext4_journalled_zero_new_buffers() which
takes care of handling journalling. We also don't need to mark new uptodate
buffers as dirty in ext4_block_write_begin(). That will be either done
either by block_commit_write() in case of success or by
folio_zero_new_buffers() in case of failure.
