[PATCH 0/2] xfs: fix CoW fork repair error handling

[PATCH 0/2] xfs: fix CoW fork repair error handling

[Yingjie Gao]

Hi all,

This series fixes two error handling bugs in the CoW fork repair code.

The non-realtime helper can lose real failures in two different ways:
it returns success after the common cleanup labels, and the
force-rebuild path can return directly without freeing the AG repair
context.

The realtime helper has a related cleanup bug in its force-rebuild
path.  If marking the full mapping fails, the code jumps past the
rtgroup scrub cleanup and only drops the local rtgroup reference.

Split the fixes into two patches so that the non-RT and RT changes
remain easy to review and bisect independently.

Patches in this series:
  1. fix non-RT CoW fork repair error returns and cleanup
  2. fix RT CoW fork repair cleanup

Thanks,
Yingjie

[PATCH 1/2] xfs: fix error returns in CoW fork repair

[Yingjie Gao]

The non-realtime CoW fork repair scan returns success after the
common cleanup labels, even if the AG setup, btree queries, or bitmap
updates failed.  This can make online repair continue with an
incomplete bad-file-offset bitmap instead of stopping at the original
error.

The force-rebuild path has the opposite cleanup problem: if marking
the entire mapping fails, it returns directly and skips the scrub AG
context and perag reference cleanup.

Send force-rebuild failures through the existing cleanup label and
return the saved error from the function.  Successful scans still
return zero.

[PATCH 2/2] xfs: fix rtgroup cleanup in CoW fork repair

[Yingjie Gao]

The realtime CoW fork repair scan initializes scrub rtgroup state
before it checks whether the whole mapping should be rebuilt.  That
state includes realtime btree cursors, rtgroup locks, and an extra
sr->rtg reference.

If marking the full mapping fails in the force-rebuild path, the code
jumps directly to out_rtg.  That only drops the local rtgroup reference
and skips the scrub rtgroup cleanup, leaving the cursors, lock, and
sr->rtg reference behind.

Jump to out_sr instead so this error path matches the other failures
after xrep_rtgroup_init().

The goto here is pointless as it jumps to the very next line, it could
simply let the code fall through.

Re: [PATCH 0/2] xfs: fix CoW fork repair error handling

[Yingjie Gao]

Hi Carlos,

Yes, I used LLM assistance for the cover letter wording.

I've prepared a v2 with the cleanup changes you pointed out.

Thanks,
Yingjie

[PATCH v2 0/2] xfs: fix CoW fork repair error handling

[Yingjie Gao]

Fix two error handling paths in CoW fork repair.

Patch 1 makes xrep_cow_find_bad() return saved errors after cleanup.
It also lets a force-rebuild bitmap error fall through to the cleanup
labels instead of returning directly.

Patch 2 applies the same fall-through pattern to the realtime helper
so that scrub rtgroup state is released before returning.

Changes since v1:
  - Let the force-rebuild error paths fall through instead of adding
    gotos, as Carlos pointed out.

I personally would have stuck with the v1 logic of turning that into a
"goto out_sa" but either way is correct.
