Can ext4_break_layouts() ever fail?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



While testing truncate failure options for FS DAX with GUP pins; I discovered
that if ext4_break_layouts() returns an error it can result in orphan'ed inodes
being left on the orphan list resulting in the following error when the FS is
unmounted.

        EXT4-fs (pmem0): Inode 12 (00000000d274c438): orphan list check failed!

I kind of worked around this by removing the orphan inode from the orphan list
if ext4_break_layouts() fails.[1]  But I don't think this unwinds everything
properly.

Failing the truncate for GUP'ed pages could be done outside of
ext4_break_layouts() so it is not absolutely necessary that it return an error.

But this begs the question can ext4_break_layouts() fail?

It looks to me like it is possible for ext4_break_layouts() to fail if
prepare_to_wait_event() sees a pending signal.  Therefore I think this is a bug
in ext4 regardless of how I may implement a truncate failure.

Is that true?
