Subject: xfs: prevent multi-fsb dir readahead from reading random blocks
From: Brian Foster <bfoster@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit cb52ee334a45ae6c78a3999e4b473c43ddc528f4 upstream.
Directory block readahead uses a complex iteration mechanism to map
between high-level directory blocks and underlying physical extents.
This mechanism attempts to traverse the higher-level dir blocks in a
manner that handles multi-fsb directory blocks and simultaneously
maintains a reference to the corresponding physical blocks.
This logic doesn't handle certain (discontiguous) physical extent
layouts correctly with multi-fsb directory blocks. For example,
consider the case of a 4k FSB filesystem with a 2 FSB (8k) directory
block size and a directory with the following extent layout:
EXT: FILE-OFFSET BLOCK-RANGE AG AG-OFFSET TOTAL
0: [0..7]: 88..95 0 (88..95) 8
1: [8..15]: 80..87 0 (80..87) 8
2: [16..39]: 168..191 0 (168..191) 24
3: [40..63]: 5242952..5242975 1 (72..95) 24
Directory block 0 spans physical extents 0 and 1, dirblk 1 lies
entirely within extent 2 and dirblk 2 spans extents 2 and 3. Because
extent 2 is larger than the directory block size, the readahead code
erroneously assumes the block is contiguous and issues a readahead
based on the physical mapping of the first fsb of the dirblk. This
results in read verifier failure and a spurious corruption or crc
failure, depending on the filesystem format.
Further, the subsequent readahead code responsible for walking
through the physical table doesn't correctly advance the physical
block reference for dirblk 2. Instead of advancing two physical
filesystem blocks, the first iteration of the loop advances 1 block
(correctly), but the subsequent iteration advances 2 more physical
blocks because the next physical extent (extent 3, above) happens to
cover more than dirblk 2. At this point, the higher-level directory
block walking is completely off the rails of the actual physical
layout of the directory for the respective mapping table.
Update the contiguous dirblock logic to consider the current offset
in the physical extent to avoid issuing directory readahead to
unrelated blocks. Also, update the mapping table advancing code to
consider the current offset within the current dirblock to avoid
advancing the mapping reference too far beyond the dirblock.
