https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=201685 --- Comment #211 from Michel Roelofs (michel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) --- When I ran updatedb on 4.19.6, RETPOLINE disabled, I triggered within 2 minutes the following errors (which I never saw with 4.14.x and older): [ 117.180537] BTRFS error (device dm-8): bad tree block start, want 614367232 have 23591879 [ 117.222142] BTRFS info (device dm-8): read error corrected: ino 0 off 614367232 (dev /dev/mapper/linux-lxc sector 1216320) And ~20 minutes later (while again running updatedb and compiling the kernel): [ 1328.804705] EXT4-fs error (device dm-1): ext4_iget:4851: inode #7606807: comm updatedb: checksum invalid With debugfs I located the file of that inode, then I did an ls on it: root@ster:# ls -l /home//michel/src/linux/linux/drivers/firmware/efi/test/ ls: cannot access '/home//michel/src/linux/linux/drivers/firmware/efi/test/': Bad message (reproduces) Dropping dentry and inode cache (echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches) didn't resolve this, but dropping all caches (echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches) did. Both a simple 'ls' and also 'debugfs -R 'ncheck <inode>' did show errors, which were resolved by the 'echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches'. See my comment #168 for 4.19.5. My next step is to try without SMP. Does anybody have suggestions what else I can try, or where I should look?
