Current ext4 will call ext4_ext_convert_to_initialized() to split and
initialize an unwritten extent if someone write something to it. It
may also zeroout the nearby blocks and expand the split range if the
allocated extent is smaller than the max zeroout threshold and fully
inside i_size or new_size. But it may lead to inode inconsistency
when system crash or the power fails for the below case.
- Create an empty file and buffer write from block A to D (with delay
allocate).
- Buffer write from X to Z, now the i_size of this inode is updated
to Z.
- Zero range from part of block B to D, it will allocate an unwritten
extent from B to D. Note that it also will skip disksize update in
ext4_zero_range() -> ext4_update_disksize_before_punch() because
the i_size is large than the end of this zero range.
- The write-back kworker write block B and initialize the whole
unwritten extent from B to D, and then update the i_disksize to the
end of B.
- ext4_journal_stop()
- kjournald2 process weakup and call jbd2_journal_commit_transaction()
to commit journal and send FUA.
- System crash.
- System reboot and fsck complain about the extent size exceeds the
inode size.
So it's not safe enough only checking i_size and new_size, we should
also take care of the i_disksize. This patch add checking i_disksize
and updating i_disksize when zeroout the tail of the allocated extent
to avoid this problem.
---------------------
This problem can reproduce by xfstests generic/482 with fsstress seed
-s 1544025012.
Fsck output:
fsck from util-linux 2.23.2
e2fsck 1.42.9 (28-Dec-2013)
Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes
Inode 15, end of extent exceeds allowed value
(logical block 294, physical block 34028, len 3)
Clear? no
Inode 15, i_blocks is 3784, should be 3760. Fix? no
Pass 2: Checking directory structure
Pass 3: Checking directory connectivity
Pass 4: Checking reference counts
Pass 5: Checking group summary information
Block bitmap differences: -(34028--34030)
Fix? no
And the size of inode 15 is 0x127000, the extent tree is:
Level Entries Logical Physical Length Flags
1/ 1 1/ 8 14 - 38 36110 - 36134 25
1/ 1 2/ 8 128 - 137 34688 - 34697 10
1/ 1 3/ 8 219 - 231 36305 - 36317 13
1/ 1 4/ 8 284 - 293 36370 - 36379 10
1/ 1 5/ 8 294 - 296 34028 - 34030 3
1/ 1 6/ 8 297 - 511 35182 - 35396 215 Uninit
1/ 1 7/ 8 512 - 523 34096 - 34107 12 Uninit
1/ 1 8/ 8 630 - 813 35746 - 35929 184 Uninit
