Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] xfs: verify recovered inode log items in pass1
Date: Fri, 17 Jul 2026 12:24:08 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260717192408.109168-3-bestswngs@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260717192408.109168-1-bestswngs@gmail.com>

Log recovery mixes validation of a recovered inode item's formatted
structures into the pass2 decode and replay code, one open-coded check at
a time. That is hard to read and audit for what is still unchecked, and it
runs after the item has already been sorted and read ahead in earlier
passes.

Add a verifier layer to journal recovery: a new
xlog_recover_item_ops->verify() method that validates an item's formatted
log structures, called in pass1 for every item after the generic region
checks. Add the first verifier, for inode items:
xlog_recover_inode_verify() checks in one place that the core and each fork
region implied by ilf_fields is declared, that the log dinode is present
and large enough, that its version matches the mount, that di_forkoff is
within the literal area, and that the verbatim-copied fork regions fit
their destination fork.

Because those log dinode checks now run in pass1, drop the equivalent
open-coded checks (the log dinode magic and the dead di_forkoff bound) from
xlog_recover_inode_commit_pass2(). The checks that need the on-disk inode
buffer (its magic, the LSN and di_flushiter replay-ordering decisions, the
di_mode/di_format consistency, and the final xfs_dinode_verify()) cannot be
hoisted and stay in pass2.

This only covers the self-contained log dinode structure. The btree-root
fork formats are converted from a larger in-core form on replay and their
record count is not yet bounded here; clamping xfs_bmbt_to_bmdr() and the
rt btree converters against the destination fork is left as follow-up.
Further item types can grow their own verify() method the same way.
