Re: [PATCH] ext4: Fix data corruption when writing to prealloc area

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

 



I tried this patch, with nodelalloc, the kernel did not crash! Previous
it crashes in a few minutes.

 but the test did not stop after fill the file by specified 2G size


I noticed the write() to write to the last fallocate extent(up to 2G)
returns junk value.


The testcase I got from Shehjart (who originally reported the problem)
is  

http://www.gelato.unsw.edu.au/~shehjart/writefallocate.c

command I use to reproduce the problem is 

./writefallocate --filesize 2147483648 --wrblksize 65536 --fallocate
1048576 --filename /mnt/ext4/a --nounlink

.............
offset: 2147024896, written: 65536^M
offset: 2147090432, written: 65536^M
offset: 2147155968, written: 65536^M
offset: 2147221504, written: 65536^M
offset: 2147287040, written: 65536^M
offset: 2147352576, written: 65536^M
offset: 2147418112, written: 65535^M
offset: 2147483647, written: 18446744073709551615^M
fallocate offset: 2147483647^M
offset: 2147483646, written: 18446744073709551615^M
offset: 2147483645, written: 18446744073709551615^M
offset: 2147483644, written: 18446744073709551615^M
offset: 2147483643, written: 18446744073709551615^M
offset: 2147483642, written: 18446744073709551615^M
offset: 2147483641, written: 18446744073709551615^M
offset: 2147483640, written: 18446744073709551615^M


Appearently the test has fallocate/fill the 2G file, but since the last
write() returns 18446744073709551615, the offset is decreased, cause the
test continue with a break,  and writes to wrong offset
