From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@xxxxxxxxxx> We recently came across a V4 filesystem causing memory corruption due to a newly allocated inode being setup twice and being added to the superblock inode list twice. From code inspection, the only way this could happen is if a newly allocated inode was not marked as free on disk (i.e. di_mode wasn't zero). Running the metadump on an upstream debug kernel fails during inode allocation like so: XFS: Assertion failed: ip->i_d.di_nblocks == 0, file: fs/xfs/xfs_inode.c, line: 838 ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at fs/xfs/xfs_message.c:114! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP CPU: 11 PID: 3496 Comm: mkdir Not tainted 4.16.0-rc5-dgc #442 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.10.2-1 04/01/2014 RIP: 0010:assfail+0x28/0x30 RSP: 0018:ffffc9000236fc80 EFLAGS: 00010202 RAX: 00000000ffffffea RBX: 0000000000004000 RCX: 0000000000000000 RDX: 00000000ffffffc0 RSI: 000000000000000a RDI: ffffffff8227211b RBP: ffffc9000236fce8 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: 0000000000000000 R10: 0000000000000bec R11: f000000000000000 R12: ffffc9000236fd30 R13: ffff8805c76bab80 R14: ffff8805c77ac800 R15: ffff88083fb12e10 FS: 00007fac8cbff040(0000) GS:ffff88083fd00000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 00007fffa6783ff8 CR3: 00000005c6e2b003 CR4: 00000000000606e0 Call Trace: xfs_ialloc+0x383/0x570 xfs_dir_ialloc+0x6a/0x2a0 xfs_create+0x412/0x670 xfs_generic_create+0x1f7/0x2c0 ? capable_wrt_inode_uidgid+0x3f/0x50 vfs_mkdir+0xfb/0x1b0 SyS_mkdir+0xcf/0xf0 do_syscall_64+0x73/0x1a0 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x42/0xb7 Extracting the inode number we crashed on from an event trace and looking at it with xfs_db: xfs_db> inode 184452204 xfs_db> p core.magic = 0x494e core.mode = 0100644 core.version = 2 core.format = 2 (extents) core.nlinkv2 = 1 core.onlink = 0 ..... Confirms that it is not a free inode on disk. xfs_repair also trips over this inode: ..... zero length extent (off = 0, fsbno = 0) in ino 184452204 correcting nextents for inode 184452204 bad attribute fork in inode 184452204, would clear attr fork bad nblocks 1 for inode 184452204, would reset to 0 bad anextents 1 for inode 184452204, would reset to 0 imap claims in-use inode 184452204 is free, would correct imap would have cleared inode 184452204 ..... disconnected inode 184452204, would move to lost+found And so we have a situation where the directory structure and the inobt thinks the inode is free, but the inode on disk thinks it is still in use. Where this corruption came from is not possible to diagnose, but we can detect it and prevent the kernel from oopsing on lookup.
