[PATCH] xfs: fix indlen accounting error on partial delalloc conversion

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

 



The delalloc -> real block conversion path uses an incorrect
calculation in the case where the middle part of a delalloc extent
is being converted. This is documented as a rare situation because
XFS generally attempts to maximize contiguity by converting as much
of a delalloc extent as possible.

If this situation does occur, the indlen reservation for the two new
delalloc extents left behind by the conversion of the middle range
is calculated and compared with the original reservation. If more
blocks are required, the delta is allocated from the global block
pool. This delta value can be characterized as the difference
between the new total requirement (temp + temp2) and the currently
available reservation minus those blocks that have already been
allocated (startblockval(PREV.br_startblock) - allocated).

The problem is that the current code does not account for previously
allocated blocks correctly. It subtracts the current allocation
count from the (new - old) delta rather than the old indlen
reservation. This means that more indlen blocks than have been
allocated end up stashed in the remaining extents and free space
accounting is broken as a result.

Fix up the calculation to subtract the allocated block count from
the original extent indlen and thus correctly allocate the
reservation delta based on the difference between the new total
requirement and the unused blocks from the original reservation.
Also remove a bogus assert that contradicts the fact that the new
indlen reservation can be larger than the original indlen
reservation.

Hi all,

So while I fortunately was able to reproduce this problem and verify the
patch, I'm not able to do so in any way that facilitates a generic test
case. To reproduce, I had to hack up the allocation path to always do
single physical block allocations and otherwise not attempt to convert
whole delalloc extents, hack up an ioctl to do a
filemap_write_and_wait_range(), and run a test that repeatedly does 1M
buffered writes followed by fragmented, page-sized writebacks of that 1M
extent. This forces partial (middle) extent conversions until the extent
tree grows enough to require a bmbt block allocation. When that occurs,
I always end up with the following free space accounting inconsistency
reported via xfs_repair:

Phase 1 - find and verify superblock...     
Phase 2 - using internal log
        - zero log...               
        - scan filesystem freespace and inode maps...
sb_fdblocks 3929316, counted 3929314             
...

With this patch applied, the same test no longer reproduces the
corruption. This otherwise survives my xfstests testing (without the
aforementioned hacks). Thoughts, reviews, flames appreciated.

Brian
