[PATCH RFC v2 0/3] xfs: fix [f]inobt magic value verification

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

 



Hi all,

Here's another RFC of the [f]inobt magic value verifier fixups. This is
a bit more polished so I figured I'd send another to solicit any
feedback on the helpers and whatnot. I also put together a mitigation
patch to change over verifier and btree block verification errors into a
warning. I suppose it's debatable whether we want the latter but FWIW
the commit log description describes the reasoning for each mitigation.

Patch 1 is a straightforward creation of a finobt verifier, patch 2
implements the magic value verification and patch 3 implements the
aforementioned error mitigation. This has been tested, but note that
Darrick's recent scrub verifier patch[1] is required for patch 2. I had
a patch to address that in this series but dropped it since it's already
been posted. Thoughts, reviews, flames appreciated.

rfcv2:
- Split off finobt verifier into separate patch, assign it
  appropriately.
- Created helpers for xfs_buf_ops magic value verification.
- Added error mitigation patch for problematic finobt blocks.
