XFS does not check for possible overflow of per-inode extent counter fields when adding extents to either data or attr fork. For e.g. 1. Insert 5 million xattrs (each having a value size of 255 bytes) and then delete 50% of them in an alternating manner. 2. On a 4k block sized XFS filesystem instance, the above causes 98511 extents to be created in the attr fork of the inode. xfsaild/loop0 2035 [003] 9643.390490: probe:xfs_iflush_int: (ffffffffac6225c0) if_nextents=98511 inode=131 3. The incore inode fork extent counter is a signed 32-bit quantity. However the on-disk extent counter is an unsigned 16-bit quantity and hence cannot hold 98511 extents. 4. The following incorrect value is stored in the xattr extent counter, # xfs_db -f -c 'inode 131' -c 'print core.naextents' /dev/loop0 core.naextents = -32561 This patchset adds a new helper function (i.e. xfs_iext_count_may_overflow()) to check for overflow of the per-inode data and xattr extent counters and invokes it before starting an fs operation (e.g. creating a new directory entry). With this patchset applied, XFS detects counter overflows and returns with an error rather than causing a silent corruption. The patchset has been tested by executing xfstests with the following mkfs.xfs options, 1. -m crc=0 -b size=1k 2. -m crc=0 -b size=4k 3. -m crc=0 -b size=512 4. -m rmapbt=1,reflink=1 -b size=1k 5. -m rmapbt=1,reflink=1 -b size=4k The patches can also be obtained from https://github.com/chandanr/linux.git at branch xfs-reserve-extent-count-v2. Changelog: V1 -> V2: 1. Rename helper function from xfs_trans_resv_ext_cnt() to xfs_iext_count_may_overflow(). 2. Define and use macros to represent fs operations and the corresponding increase in extent count. 3. Split the patches based on the fs operation being performed.
