Hello,
I've obtained corrupted xfs log after some sanity xfs testing:
"log=logfile
log_size=855
dd if=/dev/zero "of=$log" bs=4096 count=$log_size
loopdev=$(losetup -f)
losetup $loopdev $log
mkfs.xfs -f -m crc=1 -llogdev=$loopdev,size=${log_size}b $SCRATCH_DEV
mount -t xfs -ologdev=$loopdev $SCRATCH_DEV $SCRATCH_MNT
./fdtree.sh -l 4 -d 4 -C -o $SCRATCH_MNT
sync
umount $SCRATCH_MNT
xfs_logprint -l $loopdev $SCRATCH_DEV"
Test makes crc enabled xfs filesystem with the external log of minimal
allowed size and then creates on this fs the small directory tree
with sub directories and files of fixed depth and size with help of
fdtree utility: https://computing.llnl.gov/?set=code&page=sio_downloads
After that xfs_logprint stably reports bad data in log:
"Oper (307): tid: eec9b0c7 len: 16 clientid: TRANS flags: none

xfs_logprint: unknown log operation type (2e00)
Bad data in log"
Subsequent call to "xfs_repair -n -l $loopdev $SCRATCH_DEV" passes and
filesystem is mounted without errors.
I've supposed the using of inappropriate log size so updated log_size to
default mkfs.xfs value for this device: "log_size=2560".
After that xfs_logprint core dumped with segfault (race condition):
"Feb 11 13:55:42 fedora.fedora kernel: xfs_logprint[14007]: segfault at

I have the following configuration on vbox virtual machine with vdi,
fixed size /dev/sdb:
[root@fedora alex]# cat /etc/issue

It's a diagnostic/developer tool, and as such has not been made as robust as tools that users need to use every day. Still, we'd hope for no segfaults or errors. ;) > "Oper (307): tid: eec9b0c7 len: 16 clientid: TRANS flags: none > EXTENTS inode data > Oper (308): tid: 41000000 len: 805306368 clientid: ERROR flags: none > LOCAL attr data > > ============================================================================ > cycle: 1 version: 2 lsn: 1,3138 tail_lsn: 1,2 > length of Log Record: 32256 prev offset: 3074 num ops: 375 > uuid: 39a962b7-4c0d-4e0e-8bcd-39471f93bc1d format: little endian linux > h_size: 32768 > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Oper (0): tid: eec9b0c7 len: 48 clientid: TRANS flags: none > ********************************************************************** > * ERROR: data block=3138 * > ********************************************************************** > > xfs_logprint: unknown log operation type (2e00) > Bad data in log" It's probably just mis-parsing something. i.e. more likely a logprint bug than an xfs bug. If you could provide an xfs_metadump of the filesystem at this point, that would probably be the simplest reproducer for us. Fixing it may not be the very highest priority, but I have dug into and fixed logprint bugs in the past. It's not very fun. ;) > Subsequent call to "xfs_repair -n -l $loopdev $SCRATCH_DEV" passes and filesystem is mounted without errors. > I've supposed the using of inappropriate log size so updated log_size to default mkfs.xfs value for this device: "log_size=2560". > After that xfs_logprint core dumped with segfault (race condition): > > "Feb 11 13:55:42 fedora.fedora kernel: xfs_logprint[14007]: segfault at 29f16768 ip 00000000004028ed sp 00007fff61b46850 error 4 in xfs_logprint[400000+4e000]" a metadump of this filesystem would be useful as well, assuming it reproduces the bug.

I've restored provided image to filesystem with the same log file, applied patch to latest xfsprogs and have stable pass runs of xfs_logprint on that filesystem and running with xfsprogs without this patch results to xfs_logprint segfaults reported that means patch is working. The problem that it is not working for repeated test runs where xfs_logprint still continue to report bad log data. It seems it is working for some cases including this image, because sometimes test can be passed but most part of test runs have still this xfs_logprint log error. Here is another fs image that is still failed for me with patch applied to xfsprogs: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1Cg0_B_ui2gM1Bzdkc3TWVqbGM/view?usp=sharing > Cheers, > > Dave.

It seems it is xfs_logprint is not a tool that is intended for validation of the log contents. It's a triage tool that was written in a hurry, and as such it's neither reliable or maintainable. Indeed, there's a comment in the code saying it really needs to be rewritten. ;) I'll have a look the image, but really spending lots of time on fixing minor issues with logprint really isn't the best use of my time right now...

Thank you, really xfs_logprint was not a subject here. It's used by me to understand xfs log data format to verify some cases related to xfs log recovery functionality, just tried to simulate some cases with log corruptions and have no expected specific xfs alert from the kernel source that I would like to see for that test case. xfs journaling para is marked as TODO in documentation currently, so I thought xfs_logprint would put more clarity how xfs journal data organized. > > Cheers, > > Dave.
