Subject: [f2fs-dev] [PATCH v2] f2fs: initialize ino_entry_info before checkpoint load
Date: Sun, 10 May 2026 09:53:36 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260510042336.94751-1-kartikey406@gmail.com> (raw)
When f2fs_get_valid_checkpoint() fails during mount (e.g. due to an
invalid checkpoint CRC on a malformed image), f2fs_fill_super() takes
an error path that eventually calls iput() on the root inode. This
invokes f2fs_drop_inode() -> f2fs_exist_written_data(), which acquires
sbi->im[]->ino_lock. However, f2fs_init_ino_entry_info() has not run
yet at this point, so the spinlock is uninitialized and lockdep
complains:
F2FS-fs (loop0): invalid crc value
F2FS-fs (loop0): Failed to get valid F2FS checkpoint
INFO: trying to register non-static key.
The code is fine but needs lockdep annotation, or maybe
you didn't initialize this object before use?
...
f2fs_exist_written_data+0x53/0x90 fs/f2fs/checkpoint.c:787
f2fs_drop_inode+0xda/0xbf0 fs/f2fs/super.c:1852
iput+0x651/0xe80 fs/inode.c:2009
f2fs_fill_super+0x6047/0x7850 fs/f2fs/super.c:5461
Move f2fs_init_ino_entry_info() to before f2fs_get_valid_checkpoint()
so that sbi->im[] is always fully initialized before any error path
can trigger iput() -> f2fs_drop_inode(). The init function only
depends on raw superblock fields (BLKS_PER_SEG, F2FS_CP_PACKS,
NR_CURSEG_PERSIST_TYPE, __cp_payload), which are populated well
before checkpoint load, so the move is safe.
