[PATCH 0/3] xfs: buffer types need to be set

[PATCH 0/3] xfs: buffer types need to be set

[Dave Chinner]

Hi Jan,

These three patches detect and fix the issues you reported with log
recovery finding buffers with a format type of zero. The type of
zero (XFS_BLFT_UNKNOWN_BUF) is only valid for buffers that have
been cancelled (i.e. invalidated or marked stale as they have been
freed), so the series adds asserts to ensure these conditions are
met during transaction commit. Hence we shouldn't ever get new code
that fails to set the buffer type getting through testing.

The last two patches fix the cases that running xfstests uncovered
where we don't set the buffer type appropriately. There may be more,
but doing this much made my head hurt and xfstests is clean, so it's
as much as I'm going to do right now. Can you test it and see if it
runs clean (with CONFIG_XFS_WARN=y or CONFIG_XFS_DEBUG=y) on your
test setup?

Cheers,

Dave.

[PATCH 1/3] xfs: ensure buffer types are set correctly

[Dave Chinner]

From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com>

Jan Kara reported that log recovery was finding buffers with invalid
types in them. This should not happen, and indicates a bug in the
logging of buffers. To catch this, add asserts to the buffer
formatting code to ensure that the buffer type is in range when the
transaction is committed.

We don't set a type on buffers being marked stale - they are not
going to get replayed, the format item exists only for recovery to
be able to prevent replay of the buffer, so the type does not
matter. Hence that needs special casing here.

[PATCH 2/3] xfs: inode unlink does not set AGI buffer type

[Dave Chinner]

From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com>

This leads to log recovery throwing errors like:

XFS (md0): Mounting V5 Filesystem
XFS (md0): Starting recovery (logdev: internal)
XFS (md0): Unknown buffer type 0!
XFS (md0): _xfs_buf_ioapply: no ops on block 0xaea8802/0x1
ffff8800ffc53800: 58 41 47 49 .....

Which is the AGI buffer magic number.

Ensure that we set the type appropriately in both unlink list
addition and removal.

[PATCH 3/3] xfs: set buf types when converting extent formats

[Dave Chinner]

From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com>

Conversion from local to extent format does not set the buffer type
correctly on the new extent buffer when a symlink data is moved out
of line.

Fix the symlink code and leave a comment in the generic bmap code
reminding us that the format-specific data copy needs to set the
destination buffer type appropriately.

[PATCH 4/3] xfs: set superblock buffer type correctly

[Dave Chinner]

From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com>

When the superblock is modified in a transaction, the commonly
modified fields are not actually copied to the superblock buffer to
avoid the buffer lock becoming a serialisation point. However, there
are some other operations that modify the superblock fields within
the transaction that don't directly log to the superblock but rely
on the changes to be applied during the transaction commit (to
minimise the buffer lock hold time).

When we do this, we fail to mark the buffer log item as being a
superblock buffer and that can lead to the buffer not being marked
with the corect type in the log and hence causing recovery issues.
Fix it by setting the type correctly, similar to xfs_mod_sb()...

  Thanks for a quick response with patches. My test round has finished and
the new assertion didn't trigger so things look fine. I've also provided a
test kernel to the guy seeing these issues in the wild but there it took
days / weeks to trigger so I wouldn't wait for it...

  BTW, this should be stable material I guess (just that I didn't see CC to
stable in the patches).

Given the timing requirement to hit the logging condition just
right, then to crash immeidately afterwards, I'm not surprised it
has taken this long to be uncovered in the wild...

Probably should - I hadn't even thought that far ahead.
