Subject: swap file broken with ext4 fast-commit
Date: Sat, 24 Oct 2020 15:13:33 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201024131333.GA32124@xps-13-7390> (raw)
I'm getting the following error if I try to create and activate a swap
file defined on an ext4 filesystem:
[ 34.406479] swapon: file is not committed
The swap file is created in the root filesystem (ext4 mounted with the
following options):
$ grep " / " /proc/mounts
/dev/vda1 / ext4 rw,relatime 0 0
No matter how long I wait or how many times I run sync, I'm still
getting the same error and the swap file is never activated.
A git bisect shows that this issue has been introduced by the following
commit:
aa75f4d3daae ("ext4: main fast-commit commit path")
Simple test case to reproduce the problem:
# fallocate -l 8G /swapfile
# chmod 0600 /swapfile
# mkswap /swapfile
# swapon /swapfile
Maybe we're missing to mark the inode as clean somewhere, even if the
transation is committed to the journal?
Thanks,
-Andrea
