Subject: xfs_getbmap assert
Date: Mon, 7 Nov 2011 05:30:37 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20111107103037.GA16213@infradead.org> (raw)

With Dmitris fsstress updates I can hit the following assert fairly
regularly:

[11904.943956] XFS: Assertion failed: ((iflags & BMV_IF_DELALLOC) != 0) ||
(map[i].br_startblock != DELAYSTARTBLOCK), file:
/home/hch/work/linux-2.6/fs/xfs/xfs_bmap.c, line: 5604

which means we get an delalloc extent back from FIEMAP/GETBMAP despite
asking for a flush beforehand.  While we hold the iolock over the call
and thus exclude new buffered writers from appearing that doesn't
prevent shared writeable mmaps from creating new delalloc extents.

I don't think this actually is a real issue, and a workaround would
be extremly hard.  For now I've just remove the assert in my tree:
