So the problematic files were regular files that lead pretty simple life - no references from unexpected places or so. What catches my eye is that inode numbers are surprisingly small (22, 12, 13; in your original report 17, 15). Since normal inode numbers start by 11 and that is usually taken by lost+found, numbers 12 and 13 are as small as they can get. I suppose this is a filesystem dedicated for the build, isn't it? And the files making problems are created as a first files on that filesystem in its root directory. Any idea what those files are? Another thing: i_count=2501 for inode 22 is absurdly high. We'd have to leak references really heavily for that file. I've checked the code in writeback_inodes_wb() and wait_sb_inodes() but reference counting there looks fine. So I have no clue what's going on right now. Anyway, adding Jens to CC just in case it rings a bell to him. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching the assignee of the bug. -- 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
