This triggers the workaround for really old xfsprogs putting in a bogus h_size: [ 12.101992] XFS (loop0): invalid iclog size (0 bytes), using lsunit (65536 bytes) but then calculates the log recovery buffer size based on the actual on-disk h_size value. The patch below open codes xlog_logrec_hblks and fixes this particular reproducer. But I wonder if we should limit the workaround. Brian, you don't happpen to remember how old xfsprogs had to be to require your workaround (commit a70f9fe52daa8)? diff --git a/fs/xfs/xfs_log_recover.c b/fs/xfs/xfs_log_recover.c index b445e8ce4a7d21..b3ea546508dc93 100644 --- a/fs/xfs/xfs_log_recover.c +++ b/fs/xfs/xfs_log_recover.c @@ -2999,7 +2999,7 @@ xlog_do_recovery_pass( int error = 0, h_size, h_len; int error2 = 0; int bblks, split_bblks; - int hblks, split_hblks, wrapped_hblks; + int hblks = 1, split_hblks, wrapped_hblks; int i; struct hlist_head rhash[XLOG_RHASH_SIZE]; LIST_HEAD (buffer_list); @@ -3055,14 +3055,16 @@ xlog_do_recovery_pass( if (error) goto bread_err1; - hblks = xlog_logrec_hblks(log, rhead); - if (hblks != 1) { - kvfree(hbp); - hbp = xlog_alloc_buffer(log, hblks); + if ((rhead->h_version & cpu_to_be32(XLOG_VERSION_2)) && + h_size > XLOG_HEADER_CYCLE_SIZE) { + hblks = DIV_ROUND_UP(h_size, XLOG_HEADER_CYCLE_SIZE); + if (hblks > 1) { + kvfree(hbp); + hbp = xlog_alloc_buffer(log, hblks); + } } } else { ASSERT(log->l_sectBBsize == 1); - hblks = 1; hbp = xlog_alloc_buffer(log, 1); h_size = XLOG_BIG_RECORD_BSIZE; }
