When received corrupted snap trace we don't know what exactly has
happened in MDS side. And we shouldn't continue writing to OSD,
which may corrupt the snapshot contents.

Just try to blocklist this client and If fails we need to crash the
client instead of leaving it writeable to OSDs.

Thanks Aaron's feedback.

V3:
- Fixed ERROR: spaces required around that ':' (ctx:VxW)

V2:
- Switched to WARN() to taint the Linux kernel.

Hi Xiubo,

I'm not sure I understand this "let's blocklist ourselves" concept.
If the kernel client shouldn't continue writing to OSDs in this case,
why not just stop issuing writes -- perhaps initiating some equivalent
of a read-only remount like many local filesystems would do on I/O
errors (e.g. errors=remount-ro mode)?
The following patch seems working. Let me do more test to make sure
there is not further crash.

For readonly approach is also my first thought it should be, but I was
just not very sure whether it would be the best approach.

Because by evicting the kclient we could prevent the buffer to be wrote
to OSDs. But the readonly one seems won't ?
The read-only setting is more for the VFS and the user.  Technically,
the kernel client could just stop issuing writes (i.e. OSD requests
containing a write op) and not set SB_RDONLY.  That should cover any
buffered data as well.

From reading the local exit4 and other fs, they all doing it this way and the VFS will help stop further writing. Tested the above patch and it worked as expected.

I think to stop the following OSD requests we can just check the SB_RDONLY flag to prevent the buffer writeback.

By employing self-blocklisting, you are shifting the responsibility
of rejecting OSD requests to the OSDs.  I'm saying that not issuing
OSD requests from a potentially busted client in the first place is
probably a better idea.  At the very least you wouldn't need to BUG
on ceph_monc_blocklist_add() errors.

I found an issue for the read-only approach:

In read-only mode it still can access to the MDSs and OSDs, which will continue trying to update the snap realms with the corrupted snap trace as before when reading. What if users try to read or backup the snapshots by using the corrupted snap realms ?

Isn't that a problem ?
