Subject: [PATCH v4 0/7] Superblock read and verify cleanups
Date: Fri, 30 Mar 2018 08:09:16 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180330000924.11148-1-anand.jain@oracle.com> (raw)

v3->v4:
 Update changelog and signoff.
 Reintroduce explicit check for '-EUCLEAN'
  at Patch 2/8 and 5/8.

v2->v3:
 Squash
  4/8 btrfs: make btrfs_check_super_csum() non static
 to
  6/8 btrfs: verify superblock checksum during scan
 As in the individual patch mentioned
 
v1->v2:
 Various changes suggested by Nicokay. Thanks. For specific changes
 pls ref to the patch.

Patch 1-4/8 are preparatory patches adds cleanups and nonstatic requisites.

Patch 5/8 makes sure that all copies of the superblock have the same fsid
when we scan the device.

Patch 6/8 verifies superblock csum when we read it in the scan context.

Patch 7/8 fixes a bug that we weren't verifying the superblock csum for
the non-latest_bdev.

And 8/8 patch drops the redundant invalidate_bdev() call during mount.

There is a btrfs-progs patch which is a kind of related, as its found that
we weren't wiping the non-overwritten superblock, so it could cause
confusion during the superblock recovery process. So the patch btrfs-progs
1/1 adds code to wipe superblock if we aren't overwriting it.

Now since kernel patch 5/8 checks if all the superblock copies are
pointing to the same fsid on the disk, so the scan will fail if without
the above 1/1 btrfs-progs, as in the example below [1]. However the simple
workaround is to wipe the superblock manually [2] or apply the btrfs-progs
patch below.

[1]
 mkfs.btrfs -qf /dev/sdb <-- 1T disk
 mkfs.btrfs -b 256M  /dev/sdb
 ERROR: device scan failed on /dev/sdb

[2]
 dd if=/dev/zero of=<dev> seek=274877906944 ibs=1 obs=1 count4K

Unfortunately, the error messages should have been failed to register
[3] device into the kernel to be more appropriate to the error.

[3]
        ret = ioctl(fd, BTRFS_IOC_SCAN_DEV, &args);
        if (ret < 0) {
                error("device scan failed on '%s': %m", fname);
                ret = -errno;
        }

Patches 1-7/8 were sent independently before. And  I found few more things
to fix alongs the line, and since they are related, so I am sending these
all together. Also, as there are minor changes, like in pr_err strings,
and splitting the unrelated changes into a separate patch, so though I am
thankful for the received reviewed-by, I couldn't include them here. Sorry.

Finally, here I am including the function relations [4] so that it will help
to review the code. And this flow is before these patches were applied.

[4]
In the long term, I suggest deprecating ioctl args which pass device path
(where possible), like in delete-device/replace. And
btrfs_read_dev_one_super() should replace btrfs_read_disk_super()
