Hi all, While doing QA of the online fsck code, I made a few observations: First, nobody was checking that the di_onlink field is actually zero; Second, that allocating a temporary file for repairs can fail (and thus bring down the entire fs) if the inode cluster is corrupt; and Third, that file link counts do not pin at ~0U to prevent integer overflows. This scattered patchset fixes those three problems. If you're going to start using this mess, you probably ought to just pull from my git trees, which are linked below. This is an extraordinary way to destroy everything. Enjoy! Comments and questions are, as always, welcome. --D kernel git tree: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/djwong/xfs-linux.git/log/?h=inode-repair-improvements xfsprogs git tree: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/djwong/xfsprogs-dev.git/log/?h=inode-repair-improvements --- fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_format.h | 6 ++++++ fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_ialloc.c | 40 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_inode_buf.c | 8 ++++++++ fs/xfs/scrub/inode_repair.c | 11 +++++++++++ fs/xfs/scrub/nlinks.c | 8 ++++---- fs/xfs/scrub/repair.c | 12 ++++++------ fs/xfs/xfs_inode.c | 16 ++++++++++++---- 7 files changed, 87 insertions(+), 14 deletions(-)
