A user with a completely full filesystem experienced an unexpected shutdown when the filesystem tried to write the superblock during runtime. kernel shows the following dmesg: [ 8.176281] XFS (dm-4): Metadata corruption detected at xfs_sb_write_verify+0x60/0x120 [xfs], xfs_sb block 0x0 [ 8.177417] XFS (dm-4): Unmount and run xfs_repair [ 8.178016] XFS (dm-4): First 128 bytes of corrupted metadata buffer: [ 8.178703] 00000000: 58 46 53 42 00 00 10 00 00 00 00 00 01 90 00 00 XFSB............

Shutting down filesystem [ 8.182010] XFS (dm-4): Please unmount the filesystem and rectify the problem(s) When xfs_log_sb writes super block to disk, b_fdblocks is fetched from m_fdblocks without any lock. As m_fdblocks can experience a positive -> negative -> positive changing when the FS reaches fullness (see xfs_mod_fdblocks) So there is a chance that sb_fdblocks is negative, and because sb_fdblocks is type of unsigned long long, it reads super big. And sb_fdblocks being bigger than sb_dblocks is a problem during log recovery, xfs_validate_sb_write() complains. Fix: As sb_fdblocks will be re-calculated during mount when lazysbcount is enabled, We just need to make xfs_validate_sb_write() happy -- make sure sb_fdblocks is not nenative.
