From: Eric Whitney Subject: [PATCH] ext4: fix partial cluster handling for bigalloc file systems Date: Wed, 12 Mar 2014 17:27:36 -0400 Message-ID: <20140312212736.GA2284@wallace> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Cc: tytso@mit.edu To: linux-ext4@vger.kernel.org Return-path: Received: from mail-qc0-f169.google.com ([209.85.216.169]:42998 "EHLO mail-qc0-f169.google.com" rhost-flags-OK-OK-OK-OK) by vger.kernel.org with ESMTP id S1752328AbaCLV1l (ORCPT ); Wed, 12 Mar 2014 17:27:41 -0400 Received: by mail-qc0-f169.google.com with SMTP id i17so148360qcy.14 for ; Wed, 12 Mar 2014 14:27:40 -0700 (PDT) Content-Disposition: inline Sender: linux-ext4-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: Commit 9cb00419fa, which enables hole punching for bigalloc file systems, exposed a bug introduced by commit 6ae06ff51e in an earlier release. When run on a bigalloc file system, xfstests generic/013, 068, 075, 083, 091, 100, 112, 127, 263, 269, and 270 fail with e2fsck errors or cause kernel error messages indicating that previously freed blocks are being freed again. The latter commit optimizes the selection of the starting extent in ext4_ext_rm_leaf() when hole punching by beginning with the extent supplied in the path argument rather than with the last extent in the leaf node (as is still done when truncating). However, the code in rm_leaf that initially sets partial_cluster to track cluster sharing on extent boundaries is only guaranteed to run if rm_leaf starts with the last node in the leaf. Consequently, partial_cluster is not correctly initialized when hole punching, and a cluster on the boundary of a punched region that should be retained may instead be deallocated.
