Re: [PATCH] xfs: fix double free of trans in log recovery on I/O error

Hi Brian, Dave,
I tested this patch on 3.8.13 kernel with the scenario I described in http://oss.sgi.com/pipermail/xfs/2014-August/037637.html, but I still see the issue. I placed the metadump at https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByBy89zr3kJNV2UxMERNTkE4aHM/edit?usp=sharing

During log recovery, 3 IO errors are encountered:
[  340.381199] XFS (dm-0): Mounting Filesystem
[  340.439897] XFS (dm-0): Sleep 10s before xlog_do_recover
[  350.440143] XFS (dm-0): Starting recovery (logdev: internal)
[ 351.584647] XFS (dm-0): metadata I/O error: block 0x1 ("xlog_recover_iodone") error 28 numblks 1 [ 351.584660] XFS (dm-0): metadata I/O error: block 0x40 ("xlog_recover_iodone") error 28 numblks 16 [ 351.584665] XFS (dm-0): xfs_do_force_shutdown(0x1) called from line 377 of file /mnt/work/alex/zadara-btrfs/fs/xfs/xfs_log_recover.c. Return address = 0xffffffffa0372728

[  351.585068] XFS (dm-0): log mount/recovery failed: error 28
[  351.585332] XFS (dm-0): log mount failed

Two IO error callbacks are handled before XFS is unmounted, but the last one crashes with stack[1].

Do I need some or all of the 9 patches that Dave posted? (They do not apply to my kernel, so I need to apply them by hand).

Thanks,
Alex.

Hi Brian, Dave,

   Linux 3.16

and, yes, it appears to fix the issue.


Thanks. That settles that then, I think. We're reproducing different
problems on the 3.8 stable kernel vs. a recent kernel using the same
test case.

Trouble is that our production kernel is 3.8.13, and we cannot upgrade to
mainline kernel easily. Question is whether we can expect some patch
suitable for our kernel, or, since our kernel is EOL and not a long-term
one, we cannot?


Dave wrote a patch specifically to resolve this problem on older
kernels:

Thanks for your help,

Ok, thanks. Yeah, I don't see the double free regression in the 3.8.13
stable branch. I went back to that kernel to try and confirm some
things. I do reproduce the problem with your metadump as well as the
test case I put together. I tested Dave's buf hold across sync I/O patch
and that does indeed prevent the problem.

For whatever reason, neither the test case nor your metadump reproduce
the same problem on latest kernels. Instead, they reproduce this double
free regression. I suspect this is what you ran into when you reproduced
on a more recent kernel. If you'd like, feel free to try and verify that
by running your reproducer again on a recent kernel with this patch and
see if you can still reproduce a crash as with the 3.8.13 kernel.
