With Dmitris fsstress updates I can hit the following assert fairly regularly: [11904.943956] XFS: Assertion failed: ((iflags & BMV_IF_DELALLOC) != 0) || (map[i].br_startblock != DELAYSTARTBLOCK), file: /home/hch/work/linux-2.6/fs/xfs/xfs_bmap.c, line: 5604 which means we get an delalloc extent back from FIEMAP/GETBMAP despite asking for a flush beforehand. While we hold the iolock over the call and thus exclude new buffered writers from appearing that doesn't prevent shared writeable mmaps from creating new delalloc extents. I don't think this actually is a real issue, and a workaround would be extremly hard. For now I've just remove the assert in my tree: Index: xfs/fs/xfs/xfs_bmap.c =================================================================== --- xfs.orig/fs/xfs/xfs_bmap.c 2011-11-05 09:02:24.410021945 +0100 +++ xfs/fs/xfs/xfs_bmap.c 2011-11-05 09:03:54.036494235 +0100 @@ -5600,8 +5600,6 @@ xfs_getbmap( XFS_FSB_TO_BB(mp, map[i].br_blockcount); out[cur_ext].bmv_unused1 = 0; out[cur_ext].bmv_unused2 = 0; - ASSERT(((iflags & BMV_IF_DELALLOC) != 0) || - (map[i].br_startblock != DELAYSTARTBLOCK)); if (map[i].br_startblock == HOLESTARTBLOCK && whichfork == XFS_ATTR_FORK) { /* came to the end of attribute fork */ _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
