Subject: [PATCH v2 0/4] iomap: fix error handling regressions
Date: Thu, 24 Sep 2026 11:11:50 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260924091203.198225-1-parri.andrea@gmail.com> (raw)
Adding Carlos Maiolino to the To: list since patch 2 (new in v2) touches
fs/xfs/ outside the iomap directory.
Fix three independent error handling regressions in iomap:
- clear the writeback context after a failed ->writeback_submit() call,
preventing an already completed ioend from being submitted again;
- preserve an iomap iteration error when iomap_fiemap() has a pending
extent to emit; and
- preserve a direct I/O data path error when sub-block tail zeroing
succeeds.
The three fixes have no ordering dependencies and can be applied or
backported independently. Each issue was reproduced before and after
its respective fix.
Patch 2 is not a fix and carries no stable tag: it adds an XFS error
tag (requested by Christoph) that lets patch 1's ->writeback_submit()
failure be injected without the boot-param hack used for the original
reproduction. I used it to write an xfstest reproducing the bug (list
corruption caught via CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST on an unfixed kernel, clean
writeback failure on a fixed one); I'll send that separately to
fstests@vger.kernel.org once this series is out for review.
Changes since v1:
- Patch 1: reworded the added comment to fit 80 columns (Christoph);
answered Christoph's request for a reproducer in the commit message
(fault-injected ->writeback_submit() failure on a reflinked XFS file,
reliably hits list_add double add on the unfixed kernel); confirmed
with Christoph that the final ->writeback_submit() call in
iomap_writepages() needs no equivalent fix, since wpc is never reused
after it; picked up the version-scoped stable tag Darrick suggested;
picked up Brian's Reviewed-by.
- Patch 2: new, added per Christoph's request.
- Patch 3 (was 2/3): no code change; picked up the version-scoped
stable tag Darrick suggested; picked up Reviewed-by tags from Brian,
Darrick, and Christoph.
- Patch 4 (was 3/3): reworked per Christoph's suggestion to drop the
zerror/ret handling entirely instead of just fixing its type, since
iomap_dio_zero() can only fail via a can't-happen WARN_ON_ONCE()
assert; this also resolves Darrick's question about the local
variable's type, since there's no longer a local variable to type.
Andrea Parri (4):
iomap: don't resubmit an ioend after ->writeback_submit() failed
xfs: add an error tag to inject a ->writeback_submit() failure
iomap: don't lose a fiemap iteration error when emitting the last
extent
iomap: don't lose a failed direct I/O bio's error when zeroing the
tail
