Hello Brian Foster, The patch 8d99fe92fed0: "xfs: fix efi/efd error handling to avoid fs shutdown hangs" from Aug 19, 2015, leads to the following static checker warning: fs/xfs/xfs_bmap_util.c:134 xfs_bmap_finish() warn: error is never (-117) fs/xfs/xfs_bmap_util.c 120 error = __xfs_trans_roll(tp, ip, &committed); It used to be that error was set by xfs_free_extent() which does return -EFSCORRUPTED. But I don't think __xfs_trans_roll() can. 121 if (error) { 122 /* 123 * If the transaction was committed, drop the EFD reference 124 * since we're bailing out of here. The other reference is 125 * dropped when the EFI hits the AIL. 126 * 127 * If the transaction was not committed, the EFI is freed by the 128 * EFI item unlock handler on abort. Also, we have a new 129 * transaction so we should return committed=1 even though we're 130 * returning an error. 131 */ 132 if (committed) { 133 xfs_efi_release(efi); 134 xfs_force_shutdown((*tp)->t_mountp, 135 (error == -EFSCORRUPTED) ? 136 SHUTDOWN_CORRUPT_INCORE : 137 SHUTDOWN_META_IO_ERROR); 138 } 139 return error; 140 } regards, dan carpenter _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
