This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled xfs: fix finobt btree block recovery ordering to the 5.9-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: xfs-fix-finobt-btree-block-recovery-ordering.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.9 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit db21c05618547ed9db5cda777a64e8929201a20b Author: Dave Chinner <dchinner@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Sep 30 07:28:52 2020 -0700 xfs: fix finobt btree block recovery ordering [ Upstream commit 671459676ab0e1d371c8d6b184ad1faa05b6941e ] Nathan popped up on #xfs and pointed out that we fail to handle finobt btree blocks in xlog_recover_get_buf_lsn(). This means they always fall through the entire magic number matching code to "recover immediately". Whilst most of the time this is the correct behaviour, occasionally it will be incorrect and could potentially overwrite more recent metadata because we don't check the LSN in the on disk metadata at all. This bug has been present since the finobt was first introduced, and is a potential cause of the occasional xfs_iget_check_free_state() failures we see that indicate that the inode btree state does not match the on disk inode state.
