Subject: [PATCH] f2fs: DEBUG: full lifecycle trace for node folio write-end-io BUG
Author: kartikey406@gmail.com
#syz test: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git master
Not for upstream. Instrumentation to identify how a node folio
with mismatched folio->index and nid_of_node(folio) reaches
f2fs_write_end_io and triggers the BUG_ON reported by syzbot.
Previous test run confirmed the read-side sanity check fires
(rc=-EFSCORRUPTED) yet the same folio still reaches writeback.
This round adds traces at every cache lifecycle event so the
leak path can be pinned down:
- f2fs_finish_read_bio - async read footer check, page state
- f2fs_write_end_io - write footer check, page state
- f2fs_new_node_folio - entry, after grab, after fill_footer,
after mark_dirty
- read_node_folio - entry, with current page state
- __get_node_folio - entry and after grab, page state
- __get_node_folio - sync sanity failure on page_hit
Each trace logs folio->index, footer nid/ino, and the relevant
page flags (uptodate, dirty, writeback, refcount) so the journey
of a single NID can be reconstructed across read failure, cache
reuse, and writeback submission.
BUG_ON in f2fs_write_end_io() is intentionally retained so the
kernel halts at the failing folio and the preceding trace output
appears in the syzbot console log.
