Dear XFS Support,
  I am attempting to use xfs_fsr to defrag a 60TB FS but am getting some of the following errors;
'XFS_IOC_SWAPEXT failed: ino=xxxxxx: Invalid argument'.  Most files defrag w/o problem.  In an hour long run only 45/(45+6211) failed this way.  Here is a example chunk of syslog from a run with fsr -v which includes the FS level reports.

I have had a browse in the archive and can rule out an SElinux attribute difference (using xfs_io -c lsattr) between the problem files and the others.  It is not an busy file problem either.  I've rechecked with fuser and xfs_fsr -v on some of the individual files and always get the same error.  xfs_bmaping the problem files afterwards shows they remain un-defragmented.  Here is the output of xfs_bmap -v on the file with inode=797728.

I am running the latest (v.3.1.7) xfsprogs.  My OS is SLC5 Linux with kernel details,
2.6.18-274.17.1.el5 #1 SMP Wed Jan 11 11:10:32 CET 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux.
xfs_info reports the following for the FS,

Is this a known problem with xfs in this kernel? Any other information/tests that I can supply?

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=e09f98606dcc156de1146c209d45a0d6d5f51c3f
and
http://git.kernel.org/?p=fs/xfs/xfsprogs-dev.git;a=commitdiff;h=bdb041f58dc436dcb10b698ed8715fb889589b90

contain a lot of comments about what it is you're running into.  The latter (the userspace change) should have made these less frequent.

If you're familiar with tracepoints, can you enable these and watch?

This should do it:

# mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug
# echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_enabled
# echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/xfs/xfs_swap_extent_before/enable
# echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/xfs/xfs_swap_extent_after/enable

Thanks for that tip but I've not tried this before and can't get it to work. After mounting debugfs I don't have /sys/kernel/debug/tracing. ie,
find /sys/kernel/debug -print
/sys/kernel/debug
/sys/kernel/debug/usbmon
/sys/kernel/debug/usbmon/2s
/sys/kernel/debug/usbmon/2t
/sys/kernel/debug/usbmon/1s
/sys/kernel/debug/usbmon/1t


The .config file that comes with the pre-compiled kernel has the following set in the kernel hacking section.

CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT=y
CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL=y
CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT=19
CONFIG_DETECT_SOFTLOCKUP=y
CONFIG_DETECT_HUNG_TASK=y
CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_HUNG_TASK_PANIC_VALUE=0
CONFIG_SCHEDSTATS=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_FS=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST=y
CONFIG_BOOT_DELAY=y
CONFIG_SAMPLES=y
CONFIG_SAMPLE_MARKERS=m
CONFIG_SAMPLE_TRACEPOINTS=m
CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_STACKOVERFLOW=y
CONFIG_X86_DECODER_SELFTEST=y
A full copy of .config is on http://www.pp.rhul.ac.uk/~tcrane/.config
Is anything missing ?

Thanks
Tom Crane


<run your failing fsr run>

# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace

and that should give us more info.

Thanks,
-Eric



Many thanks
Tom Crane
