At the end of the first phase of recovery (i.e. reading the log and extracting/recovering individual items), the AIL looks like this: 0. <incomplete recovered intents> It has nothing else in it, just the intents that need recovery. In the second phase of recovery, we start processing those intents, walking the above list and calling ->recover on them. IIUC, recovering a BUI can create CUI and RUI intents, recovering a CUI can create both RUI and EFI intents, and recovering a RUI can create EFI intents. Now, processing these newly created chained intents is deferred after committing them to the *CIL*, so only the initial intents in 0 above are replayed because we check the AIL contents again. If there is enough space in the journal and CIL to aggregate all these new intents and objects, they will never reach the AIL before the initial intent recovery has completed, and the check will never fail. Hence I think the actual logged contents check is rarely, if ever, run properly because nothing has reached the AIL in normal cases. However, if the CIL -ever- commits during intent processing, then the AIL check is completely invalid - the AIL can contain buffers, inodes, new intents, etc in any order: 0. <incomplete recovered intents> 1. <non intent items> 2. <new chained/deferred intents> 3. <non intent items> 4. <new chained/deferred intents> 5. <non intent items> .... > So we speed along the AIL list, dealing with the <0> items until we get > to <1>.

Unfortunately, it finds the new intent <3> and trips? Effectively, yes. > Reviewed-by: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@xxxxxxxxxx> Thanks! -- Dave Chinner david@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
