There's a issue: []$~/e2fsprogs/e2fsck/e2fsck -f scsi-disk2.img e2fsck 1.47.0 (5-Feb-2023) scsi-disk2.img: recovering journal Clearing orphaned inode 12 (uid=0, gid=0, mode=0140777, size=0) Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes Extended attribute block 4247 has reference count 3, should be 2. Fix<y>? no Pass 2: Checking directory structure Pass 3: Checking directory connectivity Pass 4: Checking reference counts Pass 5: Checking group summary information Free blocks count wrong (249189, counted=249188). Fix<y>? no Free inodes count wrong (65526, counted=65523). Fix<y>? no scsi-disk2.img: ***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED ***** scsi-disk2.img: ********** WARNING: Filesystem still has errors ********** scsi-disk2.img: 10/65536 files (0.0% non-contiguous), 12955/262144 blocks Above issue can reproduce as follows: step1: socat UNIX-LISTEN:/home/test/mysocket.sock,mode=777,reuseaddr,fork EXEC:/home/test & step2: setfacl some xattr for mysocket.sock step3: cp -a /home/test/mysocket.sock /home/test/sock1 cp -a /home/test/mysocket.sock /home/test/sock2 step4: sync step5: Power-off step6: run e2fsck As after commit 42475e281d22 add ext2fs_inode_has_valid_blocks() judgement in release_inode_blocks() which means socket type file skip realse block include ACL block. The kernel does not restrict the setting of extended attributes for socket files. So this will lead to ACL block leak. To solve above issue there's need to release ACL block for other kind of special file. Fixes: 42475e281d22 ("super.c (release_inode_blocks): Don't try to release the blocks if the orphaned inode is a device file, symlink, or some other kind of special file that doesn't have a block list.")
