Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/3] ext4: enhance extent consistency check

Now that in the error patch of extent updating procedure cannot handle
error and roll-back partial updates properly, so we could access the
left inconsistent extent buffer later and lead to BUGON in
errors=continue mode. For example, we could get below BUGON if we
update leaf extent but failed to update index extent in
ext4_ext_insert_extent() and try to alloc block again.

Subject: [RFC PATCH 2/3] ext4: check for inconsistent extents between index and leaf block

Now that we can check out overlapping extents in leaf block and
out-of-order index extents in index block. But the .ee_block in the
first extent of one leaf block should equal to the .ei_block in it's
parent index extent entry. This patch add a check to verify such
inconsistent between the index and leaf block.

Subject: [RFC PATCH 3/3] ext4: prevent partial update of the extent blocks

In the most error path of current extents updating operations are not
roll back partial updates properly when some bad things happens(.e.g in
ext4_ext_insert_extent()). So we may get an inconsistent extents tree
if journal has been aborted due to IO error, which may probability lead
to BUGON later when we accessing these extent entries in errors=continue
mode. This patch drop extent buffer's verify flag before updatng the
contents in ext4_ext_get_access(), and reset it after updating in
__ext4_ext_dirty(). After this patch we could force to check the extent
buffer if extents tree updating was break off, make sure the extents are
consistent.

I don't believe this is always guaranteed.

The punch hole operation can remove some or part of the first entry in
the leaf block, and it won't update the parent index. So it's OK for
the first entry of the leaf block to be greater than entry in the
parent block. However, if the first entry of the leaf block is less
than the entry in the parent block, that's definitely going to be a
problem.

Hi, Ted.

ext4_punch_hole()->ext4_ext_remove_space()->ext4_ext_rm_leaf() call
ext4_ext_correct_indexes() or ext4_ext_rm_idx() to update the parent index
if the removing extent entry is the first entry of the leaf block.

static int
ext4_ext_rm_leaf(handle_t *handle, struct inode *inode,
struct ext4_ext_path *path,
struct partial_cluster *partial,
ext4_lblk_t start, ext4_lblk_t end)
{
...
if (ex == EXT_FIRST_EXTENT(eh)) {
correct_index = 1;
...
if (correct_index && eh->eh_entries)
err = ext4_ext_correct_indexes(handle, inode, path);
...
}

static int ext4_ext_rm_idx(handle_t *handle, struct inode *inode,
struct ext4_ext_path *path, int depth)
{
...
while (--depth >= 0) {
...
path->p_idx->ei_block = (path+1)->p_idx->ei_block;
...
}
...
}

And the fsck does also check the mismatch case in scan_extent_node(), am I
missing something?

Thanks,
Yi.

Applied, thanks!

Thanks, I've applied this patch series. You're right, we are always
updating the index node. There is a comment that we might try to skip
updating the index in some cases, but it's probably better to always
update the index node since we can count on knowing what logical
blocks could be mentioned in the leaf nodes.
