kernel BUG at fs/ext4/inline.c:1943!

Size of extra inode fields: 32
Extended attributes:
system.data (72)
Inode checksum: 0xe2f12fc5
Size of inline data: 132

OK, so the problem seems the inode in question has the INLINE_DATA
flag set, but i_blocks is non-zero.  And it looks like the data was
actually stored in an exernal data block, and the in-line xattr wasn't
present.
e2fsck should be checking and complaining if this is the case.  If
not, it's a bug in e2fsck.
And the kernel certainy shouldn't be BUG'ing when it comes across
what is clearly a case of file system corruption.

Hello,

Perhaps I am wrong, but as the inode has a file ACL, the blockcount should be
different from 0?  So it seems valid on this point. Or is there something that
prevent inlined file to have ACL?


The "File ACL" label is misleading.  ACLs are stored as xattrs, (along with other
xattrs like SELinux labels), and also inline data.  However, unless the ACL is
very large it would also be stored inside the inode itself.  If there isn't space
inside the inode to store both the inline data and other xattrs, the inline data
should be bumped to an external block first (i.e. stored as a regular file),
since there is no benefit to doing the reverse.


Cheers, Andreas


I certainly do not have a complete knowledge on how it works, but the ext4_xattr_set_handle function does not try to move inline data to a block before allocating a new block for the extended attribute (or reusing a block if there is one with similar content). And some of its call tree does not clear inline data before. A case could be some directory creation that inherits big posix ACL from its parent (ACL goes to a block, potentially the same than the one of its parent) and the directory is created with inline data.

In the ext4_getattr function there is also some comment that says it can happen "If there is inline data in the inode, the inode will normally not have data blocks allocated (it may have an external xattr block)."

Regards,

Damien
