Dear all,

I find the kernel 2.6.28 is supported ext3 for SD card not well. The external SD card is formatted with ext3, and when removal from sd slot, it prints below ext3_abort msg. Such message isn't occurred at Linux 2.6.23 and 2.6.27.

deadlock at __fsync_super, which call stack likes below:

Such action is ok at Linux 2.6.23 and 2.6.27. And sd card with vfat at 2.6.28 is ok.

Does anyone know what happening for ext3 at 2.6.28 ( or from 2.6.28)? Any solutions for such issue?

Thank you!

You popped the card out without unmounting the filesystem I guess ?

What kind of bug are you referring to? Did you speak to the vfs/ext3 people about that?

We've been using ext3 on ARM on mass storage media for quite some time, without facing any serious issues.

ext3 works fine - it's been used on the old mailing list server for its filesystems for hundreds of days (on that exact kernel version) without issue.

It's also being used on the web server and older web server both without any incident.

All aforementioned machines are ARM based. I can only assume that you have local (unreported) issues with ext3 on ARM.

The problem I found was removing SD card with ext3 without unmount, It is ok at 2.6.27 and 2.6.23, but bad at 2.6.28 ( or later, I am not sure).

The problems with ext3 partitioned are:
1. We remove the SD card after the system go to suspend, then, after the system resume. The system is go to deadlock at __fsync_super: the call stack like below:
mmc_remove_card-->device_del-->mmc_blk_remove-->del_gendisk

2. When removing SD card without unmount during the system is running, there are below errors:
mmc1: card d555 removed

The above two problems weren't happened at 2.6.27/23 kernel, and with vfat partition.

I wonder such two operations are forbidden for ext3 , especially after 2.6.27 or there is something wrong with our code?

Thank you!

The problem I found was removing SD card with ext3 without unmount, It is ok at 2.6.27 and 2.6.23, but bad at 2.6.28 ( or later, I am not sure).

As has already been pointed out, removing media without unmounting it first is highly risky - you're risking data loss in spite of ext3 being a journalling filesystem.

The other thing to think about is that with a block based journalling filesystem, a flash-based device is going to get a higher number of writes, and therefore will wear out (and therefore fail) quicker. You might be better off with some other filesystem (eg, vfat) on the SD card.

Lastly, try reporting the problem somewhere more appropriate, such as the ext2 maintainers/mailing list and the SD mailing list.

Remounting filesystem read-only

Besides, I find when system goes to suspend, when we remove sd card after the system has already suspended. Then, press wakeup button, the system can't wakeup. It sounds happens
deadlock at __fsync_super, which call stack likes below:
mmc_remove_card-->device_del-->mmc_blk_remove-->del_gendisk

Such action is ok at Linux 2.6.23 and 2.6.27. And sd card with vfat at 2.6.28 is ok.

Does anyone know what happening for ext3 at 2.6.28 ( or from 2.6.28)? Any solutions for such issue?

You popped the card out without unmounting the filesystem I guess ?

We don't execute umount at 2.6.27/23 either, and it has little error:

[   32.541208] Buffer I/O error on device mmcblk1p1, logical block 0
[   32.544784] lost page write due to I/O error on mmcblk1p1

Besides, the remove card is ok after suspend at 2.6.27 and 2.6.23.

Usually, the remove card(ext3) without umount is forbiddon or not? I know the ext3 default is journal filesystem, and the write-back execution is delayed 5 seconds.

You shouldn't remove the card without unmounting first. And you should unmount with .23 and .27, too. Just because these kernels don't wail it doesn't mean you cannot loose data.

I find the system still will be deadlock if i use sync before go to suspend. I wonder why system will go to deadlock even there is not card at slot.

Is this specific to ext3? Does it happen to other file systems such as xfs?
