Hi Darrick,

I asked my colleagues about email-sending problems.
I am not the only one with the problem :( so,my reply of you question here
also sent faild. With my colleague's advice, I change a new email address.
Hope from now on, my email can be received by mailing list :)

xfs_btree_check_block contains a tag XFS_ERRTAG_BTREE_CHECK_{L,S}BLOCK,

Since with XFS_DEBUG setting up, we can always trigger assert by `echo 1
/sys/fs/xfs/${disk}/errortag/btree_chk_{s,l}blk`.
It's confusing and strange.
Please be more specific about how this is confusing or strange.
I meant in current code, the ASSERT will alway happen,when we
`echo 1 > /sys/fs/xfs/${disk}/errortag/btree_chk_{s,l}blk`.
xfs_btree_islastblock
    ->ASSERT(block && xfs_btree_check_block(cur, block, level, bp) == 0);
      ->xfs_btree_check_{l/s}block
        ->XFS_TEST_ERROR(false, mp, XFS_ERRTAG_BTREE_CHECK_{S,L}BLOCK)
we can use error injection to trigger this ASSERT.
Hmmm...

I think ASERRT macro and error injection are to find some effective problems,
not to create some kernel panic.
You can avoid a panic by turning XFS_ASSERT_FATAL off in Kconfig, or
at runtime by setting fs.xfs.bug_on_assert to 0, but ...

So, putting the error injection function in
ASSERT is a little strange.
Ok, so I think the argument is that in the default config, setting this error
injection tag will immediately result in a system panic, which probably isn't
what we want.  Is my understanding correct?
Yes, Eric, you are right, that's just what i mean.
But in the bigger picture, isn't this:

ASSERT(block && xfs_btree_check_block(cur, block, level, bp) == 0);

putting a disk corruption check into an ASSERT? That in itself seems a bit
suspect.  However, the ASSERT was all introduced in:

      xfs: actually check xfs_btree_check_block return in xfs_btree_islastblock
      Coverity points out that xfs_btree_islastblock doesn't check the return
      value of xfs_btree_check_block.  Since the question "Does the cursor
      point to the last block in this level?" only makes sense if the caller
      previously performed a lookup or seek operation, the block should
      already have been checked.
      Therefore, check the return value in an ASSERT and turn the whole thing
      into a static inline predicate.

which seems to imply that we really should not get here with a corrupt block during
normal operation.
It did, xfs_alloc_ag_vextent_near->xfs_btree_islastblock, see below for more
details.
Perhaps the error tag can get set after the block "should already have been checked"
but before this test in the ASSERT?
What I want to know here is *how* do we get to the point of tripping
this assertion via debugknob?  Won't the lookup or seek operation have
already checked the block and failed with EFSCORRUPTED?  And shouldn't
that be enough to stop whatever code calls xfs_btree_islastblock?  If
not, how do we get there?

Seriously, I don't want to burn more time discussing where and how to
fail on debugging knobs when there are all these other **far more
serious** corruption and deadlock problems that people are trying to get
merged.

Tell me specifically how to make the system fail.  "It's confusing and
strange" is not good enough.
Sorry,It's my fault. I didn't explain it clearly enough,and I don't think
this is a serious problem either. The background of the matter is we have
some testcases to test xfs, some of them are fault inject cases,and make
our testcase failed.

As Eric pointed out "You can avoid a panic by turning XFS_ASSERT_FATAL off in Kconfig"
It's just a little strange to me,and always make our testcase failed.
I just report it and if you are not interested in this patch,I am not strongly request
this to make it merged.

Here is the *how*, show you the test code and call trace.

*This is the test case:*
function do_test()
{
	echo "--- in do_test ---"
	_mount "$mount_options" $disk $mountpoint
	_check_fsstress $mountpoint # just do: fsstress -d $testdir -l 0 -n 10000 -p 4 >/dev/null
	echo 1 > /sys/fs/xfs/sda/errortag/btree_chk_sblk
Ok, now we're finally getting somewhere.  You kick off fsstress, and
only *then* turn on the debugging knob.  If it happens that the knob
gets turned on after the cntbt lookup succeeds but before the call to
xfs_btree_islastblock, then we *can* end up in the situation where a
previously checked btree block suddenly starts returning EFSCORRUPTED
from xfs_btree_check_block.  Kaboom.

Looking back at commit 27d9ee577dcce, I think the point of all this was
to make sure that the cursor has actually performed a lookup, and that
the btree block at whatever level we're asking about is ok.

If the caller hasn't ever done a lookup, the bc_levels array will be
empty, so cur->bc_levels[level].bp pointer will be NULL.  The call to
xfs_btree_get_block will crash anyway, so the "ASSERT(block);" part is
pointless.

If the caller did a lookup but the lookup failed due to block
corruption, the corresponding cur->bc_levels[level].bp pointer will also
be NULL, and we'll still crash.  The "ASSERT(xfs_btree_check_block);"
logic is also unnecessary.

If the cursor level points to an inode root, the block buffer will be
incore, so it had better always be consistent.

If the caller ignores a failed lookup after a successful one and calls
this function, the cursor state is garbage and the assert wouldn't have
tripped anyway.

So get rid of the assert, and please edit the commit message to include
all these details.

OK,get :)
