[GFS2] Mount problem with the GFS2 code
While mounting the gfs2 filesystem,our test team had a problem and we got this error message. ======================================================= GFS2: fsid=: Trying to join cluster "lock_nolock", "dasde1" GFS2: fsid=dasde1.0: Joined cluster. Now mounting FS... GFS2: not a GFS2 filesystem GFS2: fsid=dasde1.0: can't read superblock: -22 ========================================================================== On debugging further we found that problem is while reading the super block(gfs2_read_super) and comparing the magic number in it. When I replace the submit_bio() call(present in gfs2_read_super) with the sb_getblk() and ll_rw_block(), mount operation succeded. On further analysis we found that before calling submit_bio(), bio->bi_sector was set to "sector" variable. This "sector" variable has the same value of bh->b_blocknr(block number). Hence there is a need to multiply this valuwith (blocksize >> 9)(9 because,sector size 2^9,samething happens in ll_rw_block also, before calling submit_bio()). So I have developed the patch which solves this problem. Please let me know your comments. ================================================================ Signed-off-by: Srinivasa DS <srinivasa@in.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
