4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Richard Weinberger <richard@xxxxxx> commit 59965593205fa4044850d35ee3557cf0b7edcd14 upstream. In ubifs_jnl_update() we sync parent and child inodes to the flash, in case of xattrs, the parent inode (AKA host inode) has a non-zero data_len. Therefore we need to adjust synced_i_size too. This issue was reported by ubifs self tests unter a xattr related work load. UBIFS error (ubi0:0 pid 1896): dbg_check_synced_i_size: ui_size is 4, synced_i_size is 0, but inode is clean UBIFS error (ubi0:0 pid 1896): dbg_check_synced_i_size: i_ino 65, i_mode 0x81a4, i_size 4 Cc: <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fixes: 1e51764a3c2a ("UBIFS: add new flash file system") Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger <richard@xxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- fs/ubifs/journal.c | 5 +++++ 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+) --- a/fs/ubifs/journal.c +++ b/fs/ubifs/journal.c @@ -661,6 +661,11 @@ int ubifs_jnl_update(struct ubifs_info * spin_lock(&ui->ui_lock); ui->synced_i_size = ui->ui_size; spin_unlock(&ui->ui_lock); + if (xent) { + spin_lock(&host_ui->ui_lock); + host_ui->synced_i_size = host_ui->ui_size; + spin_unlock(&host_ui->ui_lock); + } mark_inode_clean(c, ui); mark_inode_clean(c, host_ui); return 0;
