Subject: [PATCH 1/2] ext4: Fix fsmap end of range reporting with bigalloc
Date: Tue, 5 Aug 2025 14:00:30 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <e7472c8535c9c5ec10f425f495366864ea12c9da.1754377641.git.ojaswin@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
With bigalloc enabled, the logic to report last extent has a bug since
we try to use cluster units instead of block units. This can cause an issue
where extra incorrect entries might be returned back to the user. This was
flagged by generic/365 with 64k bs and -O bigalloc.
** Details of issue **
The issue was noticed on 5G 64k blocksize FS with -O bigalloc which has
only 1 bg.
$ xfs_io -c "fsmap -d" /mnt/scratch
0: 253:48 [0..127]: static fs metadata 128 /* sb */
1: 253:48 [128..255]: special 102:1 128 /* gdt */
3: 253:48 [256..383]: special 102:3 128 /* block bitmap */
4: 253:48 [384..2303]: unknown 1920 /* flex bg empty space */
5: 253:48 [2304..2431]: special 102:4 128 /* inode bitmap */
6: 253:48 [2432..4351]: unknown 1920 /* flex bg empty space */
7: 253:48 [4352..6911]: inodes 2560
8: 253:48 [6912..538623]: unknown 531712
9: 253:48 [538624..10485759]: free space 9947136
The issue can be seen with:
$ xfs_io -c "fsmap -d 0 3" /mnt/scratch
0: 253:48 [0..127]: static fs metadata 128
1: 253:48 [384..2047]: unknown 1664
Only the first entry was expected to be returned but we get 2. This is
because:
ext4_getfsmap_datadev()
first_cluster, last_cluster = 0
...
info->gfi_last = true;
ext4_getfsmap_datadev_helper(sb, end_ag, last_cluster + 1, 0, info);
fsb = C2B(1) = 16
fslen = 0
...
/* Merge in any relevant extents from the meta_list */
list_for_each_entry_safe(p, tmp, &info->gfi_meta_list, fmr_list) {
...
// since fsb = 16, considers all metadata which starts before 16 blockno
iter 1: error = ext4_getfsmap_helper(sb, info, p); // p = sb (0,1), nop
info->gfi_next_fsblk = 1
iter 2: error = ext4_getfsmap_helper(sb, info, p); // p = gdt (1,2), nop
info->gfi_next_fsblk = 2
iter 3: error = ext4_getfsmap_helper(sb, info, p); // p = blk bitmap (2,3), nop
info->gfi_next_fsblk = 3
iter 4: error = ext4_getfsmap_helper(sb, info, p); // p = ino bitmap (18,19)
if (rec_blk > info->gfi_next_fsblk) { // (18 > 3)
// emits an extra entry ** BUG **
}
}
Fix this by directly calling ext4_getfsmap_datadev() with a dummy record
that has fmr_physical set to (end_fsb + 1) instead of last_cluster + 1. By
using the block instead of cluster we get the correct behavior.
Replacing ext4_getfsmap_datadev_helper() with ext4_getfsmap_helper() is
okay since the gfi_lastfree and metadata checks in
ext4_getfsmap_datadev_helper() are anyways redundant when we only want to
emit the last allocated block of the range, as we have already taken care
of emitting metadata and any last free blocks.
