Sorry for the late response.
It takes some time for me to verify the consistency problem in more
detail.
What I've concerned was the following issues:
- inlined data was synced before or not,
- inlined data was fsynced before or not,
- its parent directory inode was synced before or not,
- recovery can be safe?
- ...
Most of these issues are based on the question that "can we recover the
inlined data after sudden-power-off safely?".
And initially what I concerned was from the following scenario.
1. user writes 3KB data
2. sync or fsync
3. user writes 4KB data
: remove direct pointers in the inode page,
and cache a converted data page.
4. do checkpoint
: write the inode page only
** After power-cut, user expect at least the file should have 3KB data,
but there is no data due to the converted inline data.
Lastly, I found that, it'd be ok if we can cover the following lock
coverages.
- f2fs_lock_op
| - lock_page(inode_page)
| | -- convert_inline_data()
| | 1. write_data_page()
| | 2. update its inode page()
| - unlock_page(inode_page)
- f2fs_unlock_op
This means that, the step #4 can guarantee that the inode has the direct
pointer of 4KB data.
And when considering other cases, I couldn't find any issues.
So, yes, I concluded that your first approach which writes data pages
only was correct.
However I found that it needs to modify some recovery routine integrated
to your patch, [5/6].
In do_recover_data(inode_page),
1. get the first file offset of the inode_page,
2. get its previous written inode page,
3. diff direct pointers between previous inode page and current inode
page
4. check previous and current direct pointers
Let's suppose that the previous inode page has inline data and current
inode page is a coverted node page or vice versa.
[direct pointers] [previous inode page] [current inode page]
[0] abcd (inline data) xxx (block addr)
or,
[0] xxx (block addr) abcd (inline data)
In this case, f2fs will recover errorneous block addresses, so it needs
to avoid mishandling the direct pointers too.
