Subject: [PATCH 6.18.y] f2fs: return -EIO for a lost inode block after cp_error
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2026 10:12:13 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261110151132.2053181-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261107051154-failed-6.18-53b12b63304b@kernel.org>
From: Daeho Jeong <daehojeong@google.com>
[ Upstream commit 53b12b63304b34a3850a901c4de3cc6ad08e0aee ]
After cp_error, dirty node caches are dropped without being written.
If such an inode was never written, its NAT entry is still NEW_ADDR,
and reading its inode block returns -ENOENT.
f2fs_get_dnode_of_data() passes that -ENOENT up, and callers take it
as a hole. Since the inode block is missing, the next offset can only
advance one block, so fiemap walks block by block up to maxbytes,
about 2^30 blocks, while holding the inode lock. It took hours in a
power-off recovery test after shutdown and blocked unlink and umount
on the file.
Return -EIO instead of -ENOENT when the inode block itself is missing
after cp_error or shutdown. A missing direct or indirect node is still
reported as -ENOENT.
