[PATCH] xfs: superblock buffers need to be sector sized

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

 



From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@xxxxxxxxxx>

In secondary_sb_wack() we zero the unused portion of both the
on-disk superblock and the in-memory copy that we have. When
the device sector size is 4k, this causes xfs_repair to crash like
so:

# xfs_repair /dev/ram1
Phase 1 - find and verify superblock...
Phase 2 - using internal log
        - zero log...
        - scan filesystem freespace and inode maps...
bad magic number
bad on-disk superblock 3 - bad magic number
primary/secondary superblock 3 conflict - AG superblock geometry info conflicts with filesystem geometry
zeroing unused portion of secondary superblock (AG #3)
#

The stack trace is indicative:

#0  memset ()
#1  0x000000000040404b in secondary_sb_wack
#2  verify_set_agheader
#3  0x0000000000427b4b in scan_ag
#4  0x000000000042a2ca in worker_thread
#5  0x00007ffff77ba0a4 in start_thread
#6  0x00007ffff74efc2d in clone

Which points at memset overrunning the in memory buffer, as it is
only 512 bytes in length.
