From: Frederic Bohe <frederic.bohe@xxxxxxxx> Disordered inode tables may appear when inode_blocks_per_group is lesser or equal to the number of groups in a flex group. Signed-off-by: Frederic Bohe <frederic.bohe@xxxxxxxx> --- This bug can be reproduced with: mkfs.ext4 -t ext4dev -G512 70G In that case, you can see with dump2fs that inode tables for groups 510 and 511 are placed just after group 51's inode table instead of being placed after group 509's inode table. alloc_tables.c | 16 +++++++--------- 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) Index: e2fsprogs/lib/ext2fs/alloc_tables.c =================================================================== --- e2fsprogs.orig/lib/ext2fs/alloc_tables.c 2008-07-17 10:33:56.000000000 +0200 +++ e2fsprogs/lib/ext2fs/alloc_tables.c 2008-07-17 10:46:49.000000000 +0200 @@ -34,9 +34,10 @@ * tables can be allocated continously and in order. */ static blk_t flexbg_offset(ext2_filsys fs, dgrp_t group, blk_t start_blk, - ext2fs_block_bitmap bmap, int offset, int size) + ext2fs_block_bitmap bmap, int offset, int size, + int elem_size) { - int flexbg, flexbg_size, elem_size; + int flexbg, flexbg_size; blk_t last_blk, first_free = 0; dgrp_t last_grp; @@ -54,10 +55,6 @@ static blk_t flexbg_offset(ext2_filsys f * search is still valid. */ if (start_blk && group % flexbg_size) { - if (size > flexbg_size) - elem_size = fs->inode_blocks_per_group; - else - elem_size = 1; if (ext2fs_test_block_bitmap_range(bmap, start_blk + elem_size, size)) return start_blk + elem_size; @@ -126,7 +123,7 @@ errcode_t ext2fs_allocate_group_table(ex if (group && fs->group_desc[group-1].bg_block_bitmap) prev_block = fs->group_desc[group-1].bg_block_bitmap; start_blk = flexbg_offset(fs, group, prev_block, bmap, - 0, rem_grps); + 0, rem_grps, 1); last_blk = ext2fs_group_last_block(fs, last_grp); } @@ -154,7 +151,7 @@ errcode_t ext2fs_allocate_group_table(ex if (group && fs->group_desc[group-1].bg_inode_bitmap) prev_block = fs->group_desc[group-1].bg_inode_bitmap; start_blk = flexbg_offset(fs, group, prev_block, bmap, - flexbg_size, rem_grps); + flexbg_size, rem_grps, 1); last_blk = ext2fs_group_last_block(fs, last_grp); } @@ -187,7 +184,8 @@ errcode_t ext2fs_allocate_group_table(ex group_blk = flexbg_offset(fs, group, prev_block, bmap, flexbg_size * 2, fs->inode_blocks_per_group * - rem_grps); + rem_grps, + fs->inode_blocks_per_group); last_blk = ext2fs_group_last_block(fs, last_grp); } -- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
