If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 892d2a5f705723b2cb488bfb38bcbdcf83273184 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zorro Lang <zlang@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 15 May 2017 08:40:02 -0700 Subject: xfs: bad assertion for delalloc an extent that start at i_size From: Zorro Lang <zlang@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 892d2a5f705723b2cb488bfb38bcbdcf83273184 upstream. By run fsstress long enough time enough in RHEL-7, I find an assertion failure (harder to reproduce on linux-4.11, but problem is still there): XFS: Assertion failed: (iflags & BMV_IF_DELALLOC) != 0, file: fs/xfs/xfs_bmap_util.c The assertion is in xfs_getbmap() funciton: if (map[i].br_startblock == DELAYSTARTBLOCK && --> map[i].br_startoff <= XFS_B_TO_FSB(mp, XFS_ISIZE(ip))) ASSERT((iflags & BMV_IF_DELALLOC) != 0); When map[i].br_startoff == XFS_B_TO_FSB(mp, XFS_ISIZE(ip)), the startoff is just at EOF. But we only need to make sure delalloc extents that are within EOF, not include EOF.
