In journal_reclaim() ja->cur_idx of each cache will be update to
reclaim available journal buckets. Variable 'int n' is used to count how
many cache is successfully reclaimed, then n is set to c->journal.key
by SET_KEY_PTRS(). Later in journal_write_unlocked(), a for_each_cache()
loop will write the jset data onto each cache.
The problem is, if all jouranl buckets on each cache is full, the
following code in journal_reclaim(),
529 for_each_cache(ca, c, iter) {
530 struct journal_device *ja = &ca->journal;
531 unsigned int next = (ja->cur_idx + 1) % ca->sb.njournal_buckets;
532
533 /* No space available on this device */
534 if (next == ja->discard_idx)
535 continue;
536
537 ja->cur_idx = next;
538 k->ptr[n++] = MAKE_PTR(0,
539 bucket_to_sector(c, ca->sb.d[ja->cur_idx]),
540 ca->sb.nr_this_dev);
541 }
542
543 bkey_init(k);
544 SET_KEY_PTRS(k, n);
If there is no available bucket to reclaim, the if() condition at line
534 will always true, and n remains 0. Then at line 544, SET_KEY_PTRS()
will set 0 to KEY_PTRS field of c->journal.key.
Setting KEY_PTRS field of c->journal.key to 0 is wrong. Because in
journal_write_unlocked() the journal data is written in following loop,
649 for (i = 0; i < KEY_PTRS(k); i++) {
650-671 submit journal data to cache device
672 }
If KEY_PTRS field is set to 0 in jouranl_reclaim(), the journal data
won't be written to cache device here. If system crahed or rebooted
before bkeys of the lost journal entries written into btree nodes, data
corruption will be reported during bcache reload after rebooting the
system.
Indeed there is only one cache in a cache set, there is no need to set
KEY_PTRS field in journal_reclaim() at all. But in order to keep the
for_each_cache() logic consistent for now, this patch fixes the above
problem by not setting 0 KEY_PTRS of journal key, if there is no bucket
available to reclaim.
