[PATCH] btrfs: reject log replay if there is unsupported RO flag

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



[BUG]
If we have a btrfs image with dirty log, along with an unsupported RO
compatible flag:

log_root		30474240
...
compat_flags		0x0
compat_ro_flags		0x40000003
			( FREE_SPACE_TREE |
			  FREE_SPACE_TREE_VALID |
			  unknown flag: 0x40000000 )

Then even if we can only mount it RO, we will still cause metadata
update for log replay:

 BTRFS info (device dm-1): flagging fs with big metadata feature
 BTRFS info (device dm-1): using free space tree
 BTRFS info (device dm-1): has skinny extents
 BTRFS info (device dm-1): start tree-log replay

This is definitely against RO compact flag requirement.

[CAUSE]
RO compact flag only forces us to do RO mount, but we will still do log
replay for plain RO mount.

Thus this will result us to do log replay and update metadata.

This can be very problematic for new RO compat flag, for example older
kernel can not understand v2 cache, and if we allow metadata update on
RO mount and invalidate/corrupt v2 cache.

[FIX]
Just set the nologreplay flag if there is any unsupported RO compact
flag.

This will reject log replay no matter if we have dirty log or not, with
the following message:

 BTRFS info (device dm-1): disabling log replay due to unsupported ro compat features
