    ms/jbd2: clear dirty flag when revoking a buffer from an older transaction
    
    Now, we capture a data corruption problem on ext4 while we're truncating
    an extent index block. Imaging that if we are revoking a buffer which
    has been journaled by the committing transaction, the buffer's jbddirty
    flag will not be cleared in jbd2_journal_forget(), so the commit code
    will set the buffer dirty flag again after refile the buffer.
    
    fsx                               kjournald2
                                      jbd2_journal_commit_transaction
    jbd2_journal_revoke                commit phase 1~5...
     jbd2_journal_forget
       belongs to older transaction    commit phase 6
       jbddirty not clear               __jbd2_journal_refile_buffer
                                         __jbd2_journal_unfile_buffer
                                          test_clear_buffer_jbddirty
                                           mark_buffer_dirty
    
    Finally, if the freed extent index block was allocated again as data
    block by some other files, it may corrupt the file data after writing
    cached pages later, such as during unmount time. (In general,
    clean_bdev_aliases() related helpers should be invoked after
    re-allocation to prevent the above corruption, but unfortunately we
    missed it when zeroout the head of extra extent blocks in
    ext4_ext_handle_unwritten_extents()).
    
    This patch mark buffer as freed and set j_next_transaction to the new
    transaction when it already belongs to the committing transaction in
    jbd2_journal_forget(), so that commit code knows it should clear dirty
    bits when it is done with the buffer.
    
    This problem can be reproduced by xfstests generic/455 easily with
    seeds (3246 3247 3248 3249).

    ext4/jbd2: port data corruption fixes from ms
    
    While investigating the data corruption on vzt-ploop-check test, when we
    detect one page in file which contains wrong data, we were lucky to have
    exact the same pattern in bad page each time. So we've added a small
    debug to fail on setting a dirty bit for a page if it contains the
    pattern, in the begining of __set_page_dirty and
    __set_page_dirty_nobuffers.
    
    We've got a crash, which looks related with the ported patches:

    Before ("jbd2: clear dirty flag when revoking a buffer from an older
    transaction") revoken buffer/page can be wrongly marked dirty, and later
    be wrongly written to disk. Other patches from the same series might be
    also helpful.
