From: Yangtao Li <frank.li@xxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit d4bf15a7ce172d186d400d606adf4f34a59130d6 ] I recently found a case where de->name_len is 0 in f2fs_fill_dentries() easily reproduced, and finally set the fsck flag. Thread A Thread B - f2fs_readdir - f2fs_read_inline_dir - ctx->pos = d.max - f2fs_add_dentry - f2fs_add_inline_entry - do_convert_inline_dir - f2fs_add_regular_entry - f2fs_readdir - f2fs_fill_dentries - set_sbi_flag(sbi, SBI_NEED_FSCK) Process A opens the folder, and has been reading without closing it. During this period, Process B created a file under the folder (occupying multiple f2fs_dir_entry, exceeding the d.max of the inline dir). After creation, process A uses the d.max of inline dir to read it again, and it will read that de->name_len is 0. And Chao pointed out that w/o inline conversion, the race condition still can happen as below: dir_entry1: A dir_entry2: B dir_entry3: C free slot: _ ctx->pos: ^ Thread A is traversing directory, ctx-pos moves to below position after readdir() by thread A: AAAABBBB___ ^ Then thread B delete dir_entry2, and create dir_entry3. Thread A calls readdir() to lookup dirents starting from middle of new dirent slots as below: AAAACCCCCC_ ^ In these scenarios, the file system is not damaged, and it's hard to avoid it. But we can bypass tagging FSCK flag if: a) bit_pos (:= ctx->pos % d->max) is non-zero and b) before bit_pos moves to first valid dir_entry.
