[PATCH] xfs: check all buffers in xfs_check_page_type()

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

 



xfs_aops_discard_page() was introduced in the following commit:

  xfs: truncate delalloc extents when IO fails in writeback

... to clean up left over delalloc ranges after I/O failure in
->writepage(). generic/224 tests for this scenario and occasionally
reproduces panics on sub-4k blocksize filesystems.

The cause of this is failure to clean up the delalloc range on a
page where the first buffer does not match one of the expected
states of xfs_check_page_type(). If a buffer is not unwritten,
delayed or dirty&mapped, xfs_check_page_type() stops and
immediately returns 0.

The stress test of generic/224 creates a scenario where the first
several buffers of a page with delayed buffers are mapped&uptodate
and some subsequent buffer is delayed. If the ->writepage() happens
to fail for this page, xfs_aops_discard_page() incorrectly skips
the entire page.

Modify xfs_aops_discard_page() to iterate all of the page buffers
to ensure a delayed buffer does not go undetected.

The only other caller to xfs_check_page_type() is xfs_convert_page(). I
think this is safe with respect to that codepath, given the additional
imap checks therein and whatnot, but thoughts appreciated.
