Dear professor Tytso,the following patch has been tested completely, looking forward to your response~~~ >From c6bbaf343479091c3b55b0a54d4452ef16c91c2d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: lihaoxiang <lihaoxiang9@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 10 Nov 2022 17:09:20 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] debugfs:fix repeated output problem with `logdump -O -n <num_trans>` Previously, patch 6e4cc3d5eeb2dfaa055e652b5390beaa6c3d05da introduces the function of printing the specified number of logs. But there exists a shortage when n is larger than the total number of logs, it dumped the duplicated records circulately. For example, the disk sda only has three records, but using instruction logdump -On5, it would output the result as follow: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Journal starts at block 1, transaction 6 Found expected sequence 6, type 1 (descriptor block) at block 1 Found expected sequence 6, type 2 (commit block) at block 4 No magic number at block 5: end of journal. Found sequence 2 (not 7) at block 7: end of journal. Found expected sequence 2, type 2 (commit block) at block 7 Found sequence 3 (not 8) at block 8: end of journal. Found expected sequence 3, type 1 (descriptor block) at block 8 Found sequence 3 (not 8) at block 15: end of journal. Found expected sequence 3, type 2 (commit block) at block 15 Found sequence 6 (not 9) at block 1: end of journal. <---------begin loop Found expected sequence 6, type 1 (descriptor block) at block 1 Found sequence 6 (not 9) at block 4: end of journal. Found expected sequence 6, type 2 (commit block) at block 4 Found sequence 2 (not 10) at block 7: end of journal. Found expected sequence 2, type 2 (commit block) at block 7 logdump: short read (read 0, expected 1024) while reading journal In this commit, we solve the problem above by exiting dumping if the blocknr had already encountered, displayed the total number of logs that the disk only possessed.
