Re: [PATCH 04/15] mkfs: validate all input values

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

 



Hi, Dave,

While test this patch, I wonder if we should also validate non-supported
data block size combine with the system page size or not, as we do such
kind of checkup for non-supported inode size in mkfs...

I can simply trigger scary corruption error with backtraces on 4K page
size machine via: mkfs.xfs -f -b size=8192 /dev/xxx; mount /dev/xxx /xfs

Also, here is patch inspired by Eric's previous fix for non-xfs mount probes.

Thanks,
-Jeff

There is no need to issue the scary corruption error and backtrace
which were shown as following if we get ENOSYS due to mount with
non-supported options, e.g, mkfs.xfs -f -b size=8192 /dev/sda7

XFS (sda7): File system with blocksize 8192 bytes. Only pagesize (4096) or less will currently work.

This is inspired by another similar fix from Eric Sandeen:
