Subject: [PATCH] UBIFS: Fix empty_log_bytes() computing error
Date: Fri, 11 Jul 2014 10:13:37 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <53BF4851.4040105@huawei.com> (raw)
Hi Artem,
After several days testing, the error we fixed in commit 642f63ed10,
"UBIFS: fix fatal race condition" comes out again. This commit seems
not working for my problem and I have to research into it again.
With the help of my ubidump tool this time, I got the detailed info
of log area and mst nodes and found a terrible mistake in function
empty_log_bytes().
I used to think this helper function was correct but it truns out I
was wrong. We set @c->min_log_bytes to 0 in ubifs_log_start_commit()
and suppose empty_log_bytes() will return 0 when the log area is full.
But it's not true.
If lhead_lnum + 1 == ltail_lnum and c->lhead_offs == c->leb_size, @h
would equal to @t and empty_log_bytes() will return log_bytes expect 0.
I prefer to add a patch like:
+ if (h == t && c->lhead_offs == c->leb_size)
+ return 0;
+
but I think there may be no other situation that lead @h equal to @t.
So just make this helper function return 0 if @h equal to @t.
This patch also adds an assertion to make sure ltail is not wrapped
by lhead.
