Which turns out to be caused by a tracepoint I inserted to try to narrow down if this was an invalidation race. I put this in invalidate_complete_page: --- a/mm/truncate.c +++ b/mm/truncate.c @@ -257,8 +257,11 @@ int invalidate_inode_page(struct page *page) struct address_space *mapping = page_mapping(page); if (!mapping) return 0; - if (PageDirty(page) || PageWriteback(page)) + if (PageDirty(page) || PageWriteback(page)) { + trace_printk("ino 0x%lx page %p, offset 0x%lx\n", + mapping->host->i_ino, page, page->index * PAGE_SIZE); return 0; + } if (page_mapped(page)) return 0; return invalidate_complete_page(mapping, page); And that alone, without even enabling tracepoints, made the corruption go completely away. So I suspect a page state race condition and look at POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED, which fio is issuing before running it's verification reads. First thing that does: if (!inode_write_congested(mapping->host)) __filemap_fdatawrite_range(mapping, offset, endbyte, WB_SYNC_NONE); It starts async writeback of the dirty pages. There's 256MB of dirty pages on these inodes, and iomap tracing indicates the entire 256MB immediately runs through the trace_iomap_writepage() tracepoint. i.e. every page goes Dirty -> Writeback and is submitted for async IO. Then the POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED code goes and runs invalidate_mapping_pages(), which ends up try-locking each page and then running invalidate_inode_page() on the page, which is where the trace debug I put in on pages under writeback gets hit. So if changing the invalidation code for pages under writeback makes the problem go away, then stopping invalidate_mapping_pages() from racing with page writeback should make the problem go away, too. This does indeed make the corruption go away: --- a/mm/fadvise.c +++ b/mm/fadvise.c @@ -109,9 +109,8 @@ int generic_fadvise(struct file *file, loff_t offset, loff_t len, int advice) case POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE: break; case POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED: if (!inode_write_congested(mapping->host)) - __filemap_fdatawrite_range(mapping, offset, endbyte, - WB_SYNC_NONE); + filemap_write_and_wait_range(mapping, offset, endbyte); /* * First and last FULL page! Partial pages are deliberately by making the invalidation wait for the pages to go fully to the clean state before starting. This, however, only fixes the specific symptom being tripped over here. To further test this, I removed this writeback from POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED completely so I could trigger writeback via controlled background writeback. And, as I expected, whenever background writeback ran to write back these dirty files, the verification failures triggered again. It is quite reliable. So it looks like there is some kind of writeback completion vs page invalidation race condition occurring, but more work is needed to isolate it further. I don't know what part the async read plays in the corruption yet, because I don't know how we are getting pages in the cache where page->index != the file offset stamped in the data. That smells of leaking PageUptodate flags... -Dave. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching the assignee of the bug.
