Filesystem with inlinedata will be remounted with read only mode as follow steps: 1.mkdir tmp 2.cd tmp 3.mkdir a12345 a23456 a34567 a45678 a67890 a78901 4.reboot 5.cd tmp 6.mv a23456 a23456aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa The bug happened in ext4_rename() 3122 if (le32_to_cpu(old_de->inode) != old_inode->i_ino || 3123 old_de->name_len != old_dentry->d_name.len || 3124 strncmp(old_de->name, old_dentry->d_name.name, old_de->name_len) || 3125 (retval = ext4_delete_entry(handle, old_dir, 3126 old_de, old_bh)) == -ENOENT) ext4_delete_entry-> ext4_generic_delete_entry-> ext4_check_dir_entry() find the inode number is illegal and the system is remounted with read only mode. When the inlinedata is cleared in ext4_destroy_inline_data_nolock(),ext4_inode->i_block[] is set to 0, but ext4_inode->i_block[] is assigned as ext4_inode_info->i_block[] in ext4_mark_iloc_dirty().Therefore, the inlinedata still exist in ext4_inode->i_block[] and result in ext4_delete_entry() in line 3125 is executed. >From d0e24fc2c0817fafe816b510060c711e56b6b645 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: qbx <quanbaixin@xxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 8 Oct 2013 07:04:13 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] inlinedata rename bug --- fs/ext4/inline.c | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) diff --git a/fs/ext4/inline.c b/fs/ext4/inline.c index d9ecbf1..cc6375e 100644 --- a/fs/ext4/inline.c +++ b/fs/ext4/inline.c @@ -434,6 +434,7 @@ static int ext4_destroy_inline_data_nolock(handle_t *handle, memset((void *)ext4_raw_inode(&is.iloc)->i_block, 0, EXT4_MIN_INLINE_DATA_SIZE); + memset(ei->i_data,0, sizeof(ei->i_data)); if (EXT4_HAS_INCOMPAT_FEATURE(inode->i_sb, EXT4_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_EXTENTS)) { -- 1.7.9.4 -- 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
