When mounting an image containing a log with sb modifications that require log replay, the mount process hang all the time and stack as follows: [root@localhost ~]# cat /proc/557/stack [<0>] xfs_buftarg_wait+0x31/0x70 [<0>] xfs_buftarg_drain+0x54/0x350 [<0>] xfs_mountfs+0x66e/0xe80 [<0>] xfs_fs_fill_super+0x7f1/0xec0 [<0>] get_tree_bdev_flags+0x186/0x280 [<0>] get_tree_bdev+0x18/0x30 [<0>] xfs_fs_get_tree+0x1d/0x30 [<0>] vfs_get_tree+0x2d/0x110 [<0>] path_mount+0xb59/0xfc0 [<0>] do_mount+0x92/0xc0 [<0>] __x64_sys_mount+0xc2/0x160 [<0>] x64_sys_call+0x2de4/0x45c0 [<0>] do_syscall_64+0xa7/0x240 [<0>] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x76/0x7e During log recovery, while updating the in-memory superblock from the primary SB buffer, if an error is encountered, such as superblock corruption occurs or some other reasons, we will proceed to out_release and release the xfs_buf. However, this is insufficient because the xfs_buf's log item has already been initialized and the xfs_buf is held by the buffer log item as follows, the xfs_buf will not be released, causing the mount thread to hang. xlog_recover_do_primary_sb_buffer xlog_recover_do_reg_buffer xlog_recover_validate_buf_type xfs_buf_item_init(bp, mp) The solution is straightforward: we simply need to allow it to be handled by the normal buffer write process. The filesystem will be shutdown before the submission of buffer_list in xlog_do_recovery_pass(), ensuring the correct release of the xfs_buf.
