[PATCH] cachefiles: Fix the volume coherency check

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Fix the cache volume coherency attribute check.  It was copied from the
file coherency check which uses as struct to lay out the xattr, and so
needs to add a bit on to find the coherency data - but the volume coherency
attribute only contains the coherency data, so we shouldn't be using the
layout struct for it.

This has passed unnoticed so far because it only affects cifs at the
moment, and cifs had its fscache component disabled.

This can now be checked by enabling CONFIG_CIFS_FSCACHE, enabling the
following tracepoint:

	/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/cachefiles/cachefiles_vol_coherency/enable

and making a cifs mount.  Without this change, the trace shows a
cachefiles_vol_coherency line with "VOL BAD cmp" in it; with this change it
shows "VOL OK" instead.

Fixes: 32e150037dce ("fscache, cachefiles: Store the volume coherency data")
