            Bug ID: 203943
           Summary: ext4 corruption after RAID6 degraded; e2fsck skips
                    block checks and fails
           Product: File System
           Version: 2.5
    Kernel Version: 4.19.52-gentoo
          Hardware: Intel
                OS: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: ext4
          Assignee: fs_ext4@kernel-bugs.osdl.org
          Reporter: yann@ormanns.net
        Regression: No

I use a 24TB SW-RAID6 with 10 3TB HDDs. This array contains a dmcrypt
container, which contains a ext4 FS [1].
One of the disks had errors and got kicked out of the array. Before I was able
to replace it, the ext4 FS began to throw errors like these:

EXT4-fs error (device dm-1): ext4_find_dest_de:1802: inode #3833864: block
61343924: comm nfsd: bad entry in directory: rec_len % 4 != 0 - offset=1000,
inode=2620025549, rec_len=30675, name_len=223, size=4096
EXT4-fs error (device dm-1): ext4_lookup:1577: inode #172824586: comm
tvh:tasklet: iget: bad extra_isize 13022 (inode size 256)
EXT4-fs error (device dm-1): htree_dirblock_to_tree:1010: inode #7372807: block
117967811: comm tar: bad entry in directory: rec_len % 4 != 0 - offset=104440,
inode=1855122647, rec_len=12017, name_len=209, size=4096 

I then used e2fsck to check the FS for errors, but it only created dozens of
the following output lines:
German original: "Block %$b von Inode %$i steht in Konflikt mit kritischen
Metadaten, Blockprüfungen werden übersprungen."
Translated: "Inode %$i block %$b conflicts with critical metadata, skipping
block checks." 
It also filled up my RAM, so I added ~100G of swap space. After scanning for a
few days, the e2fsck process died.

Afterwards I was able to replace the disk, re-scan the FS with e2fsck and after
2 hours, the ext4 FS was clean again.

To understand the problem, I set one of the disks faulty, and suddenly the ext4
errors occurred again. I added a spare disk, resynced the array, but e2fsck is
unable to fix the errors, and only throws "Inode %$i block %$b conflicts with
critical metadata, skipping block checks." while using more and more RAM.

Used software versions:
Kernel 4.19.52-gentoo
e2fsprogs-1.44.5
mdadm-4.1

Please let me know, if I should provide additional information.

Kind regards,
Yann
