(Note: Please CC me, as I am NOT on the lkml!!)
Some time ago, I discovered some problems with xfs. Unfortunatly, I had
no time diving into it. However, some weeks ago some other people
running debian on ARM machines confirmed the problem on their machines
starting at [1], so I think it is appropitate to at least report it.
It has also been seen on 2.6.27-rc4 [2].
summary: the xfs partition corrupts almost immediatly after creation. I
had the impression, that the first unlink (rm) causes the corruption,
but this might be just an impression.
During the tests I made, I conserved a image of the corrupted filesystem
which I can make available on request (it's 26 Mbyte, gzipped).
Please let me know how I can assist you in finding the problem.

PS: Thank you for your great work!
Some Logs (copies from the debian mailing list, so you don't have to
follow the whole thread there:)
-I did test xfs on my Thecus 2100. I could reproduce the fs-corruption
with xfs.
The xfs was created freshly on the partition used to be swap.
The corruption occured after downloading the ltp from source-forge,
untaring it and a attempted make
(The make never completed, therefore I did not run the stress-tests of
ltp)

At one point there were other patches floating around to "fix" arm which
were not correct. Are these problems seen on a pristine 2.6.27-rc4
kernel, or with other special arm patches applied?

You could try undoing this:
/* ARM old ABI has some weird alignment/padding */
#if defined(__arm__) && !defined(__ARM_EABI__)
#define __arch_pack __attribute__((packed))
#else
#define __arch_pack
#endif
and just define __arch_pack to nothing unconditionally, to see if that's
what broke...
Or if someone can provide an xfs.ko, or point "pahole" at it yourself,
and see if xfs_dir2_sf_hdr, xfs_dir2_sf_entry, and xfs_dir2_sf look more
like
http://sandeen.net/xfs-diskformat/xfs-oldabi-arm-pahole-structs
or
http://sandeen.net/xfs-diskformat/xfs-oldabi-fixed-arm-pahole-structs
?
otherwise I will give this a whirl in the emulator again...
Thanks,

Ok, actually: first - sorry for the scattershot replies. I thought
userspace was updated earlier, but:
xfsprogs-2.10.1 (5 September 2008)...
- Add packed on-disk shortform directory for ARM's old ABI, thanks to
Eric Sandeen.
and the original kernel change:
[XFS] Pack some shortform dir2 structures for the ARM old ABI
architecture.
...
Note that userspace needs a similar treatment, and any filesystems which
were running with the previous rogue "fix" will now see corruption
...
So perhaps as a first easy test, can you please re-test with
xfsprogs-2.10.1 or newer.
Thanks,
-Eric
Hi Eric,
I tried to reproduce this problem on my ARM machine and it's really
easy to trigger. See the transcript below.
I tried with 2.6.26.6 (without the ARM old ABI fix) and 2.6.27 (with
the fix), and with xfsprogs 2.9.8-1.
Note that I'm actually using the ARM EABI, and not the old ABI.
I'm not sure what Tobias used.

Here's the transcript. It's really easy to trigger. Just copy some
files to the XFS partition (works) and then run 'ls' (oops):

Thanks; a quick look at the disk structure sizes & offsets shows no
differences (as I'd hope/expect for ARM EABI).

So is this a regression? did it used to work? If so, when? :)
(just for the record; it didn't oops, it shut down the filesystem and
gave you a backtrace to the error...)
It's trying to get a buffer for a directory leaf block from disk, and
it's finding that the magic number is bad.
What's a little odd is that the buffer it dumped out looks like the
beginning of a perfectly valid superblock for your filesystem (magic,
block size, and block count all match). If you printk the "bno"
variable right around line 2106 in xfs_da_btree.c, can you see what you get?
creating an xfs_metadump of the filesystem for examination on a non-arm
box might also be interesting.
Thanks,
-Eric

The original report was with 2.6.18 but that was with the old ABI:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=423562
I just installed a 2.6.22 kernel with EABI and I can also trigger
the bug. So it's not a (recent) regression.

As far as I can remember (I only used old ABI arm) this is not a
regression. XFS never worked on arm for me.
If you need tests on old ABI just tell me.

Ok; I think there are probably a few problems, so trying to keep them
straight. I at least had xfs working properly in a qemu arm emulator a
few weeks ago... :)

Ok, that's a little odd. (correlates with the "bad" magic that was
seen, because block 0 is the superblock, but doesn't make sense because
we were trying to read a directory leaf block, in theory)
If you unmount & remount, does the ls work then?

Thanks.
xfs_repair on x86 shows no errors; however it won't mount normally (bad
log clientid) - but mount -o norecovery,ro and subsequent ls works fine
(at first I thought filenames were badly scrambled but then remembered
that xfs_metadump does this by default ;))
The remaining problem that I know of on some arm architectures is a vmap
cache aliasing problem that usually shows up as log corruption; that may
explain the bad clientid thing but not sure why we're reading block 0 above.
Do you know what cachepolicy you're booted with? If it's writeallocate,
you might try cachepolicy=writeback, otherwise try cachepolicy=uncached
(which will be horribly slow) and see if the problem goes away or not;
it'd be a clue.

I just tried with cachepolicy=writeback and cachepolicy=uncached but I
get the same problem.

I tried xfs both on the old and new ABI.
(my first try was Jan 2008, old ABI)

Oh, wow. This sounds like a new problem then; not a cache problem, and
not an alignment problem... hrm. I'll try to think of something else
to try.

You are wrong.
Our team have experience with XFS on ARM OABI on NAS. It worked fine on
2.6.12, but got broken on 2.6.17.

So any chance to bisect it down to at least a kernel release where it
stopped working?

That's the log replay indicating that there's a bad transaction
header in the log. Very strange - it shoul dbe a clean log. What
does xfs_logprint -t /dev/sda5 tell you about the transactions
in the log?
Cheers,

This is probably the vmap cache aliasing problem that we paid a bit of
attention to a few months ago, no?

Shouldn't the cachepolicy switch take care of that? But yes, there
are various problems with I/O on vmap regions with virtually indexed
caches, see:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-arch/msg04301.html
http://tree.celinuxforum.org/CelfPubWiki/JapanTechnicalJamboree21?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=celf_discussions.pdf
Actually, looking again at the second document it shows exactly the
symptoms you're seeing.

Setting cachepolicy=uncached should make aliasing issues disappear.
If you're still seeing issues with cachepolicy=uncached, it's likely
some other issue.
