    btrfs: reject devices with CHANGING_FSID_V2 · 197a9ece
    Anand Jain authored
    The BTRFS_SUPER_FLAG_CHANGING_FSID_V2 flag indicates a transient state
    where the device in the userspace btrfstune -m|-M operation failed to
    complete changing the fsid.
    
    This flag makes the kernel to automatically determine the other
    partner devices to which a given device can be associated, based on the
    fsid, metadata_uuid and generation values.
    
    btrfstune -m|M feature is especially useful in virtual cloud setups, where
    compute instances (disk images) are quickly copied, fsid changed, and
    launched. Given numerous disk images with the same metadata_uuid but
    different fsid, there's no clear way a device can be correctly assembled
    with the proper partners when the CHANGING_FSID_V2 flag is set. So, the
    disk could be assembled incorrectly, as in the example below:
    
    Before this patch:
    
    Consider the following two filesystems:
       /dev/loop[2-3] are raw copies of /dev/loop[0-1] and the btrsftune -m
    operation fails.
    
    In this scenario, as the /dev/loop0's fsid change is interrupted, and the
    CHANGING_FSID_V2 flag is set as shown below.
    
      $ p="device|devid|^metadata_uuid|^fsid|^incom|^generation|^flags"
    
      $ btrfs inspect dump-super /dev/loop0 | egrep '$p'
      superblock: bytenr=65536, device=/dev/loop0
      flags			0x1000000001
      fsid			7d4b4b93-2b27-4432-b4e4-4be1fbccbd45
      metadata_uuid		bb040a9f-233a-4de2-ad84-49aa5a28059b
      generation		9
      num_devices		2
      incompat_flags	0x741
      dev_item.devid	1
    
      $ btrfs inspect dump-super /dev/loop1 | egrep '$p'
      superblock: bytenr=65536, device=/dev/loop1
      flags			0x1
      fsid			11d2af4d-1b71-45a9-83f6-f2100766939d
      metadata_uuid		bb040a9f-233a-4de2-ad84-49aa5a28059b
      generation		10
      num_devices		2
      incompat_flags	0x741
      dev_item.devid	2
    
      $ btrfs inspect dump-super /dev/loop2 | egrep '$p'
      superblock: bytenr=65536, device=/dev/loop2
      flags			0x1
      fsid			7d4b4b93-2b27-4432-b4e4-4be1fbccbd45
      metadata_uuid		bb040a9f-233a-4de2-ad84-49aa5a28059b
      generation		8
      num_devices		2
      incompat_flags	0x741
      dev_item.devid	1
    
      $ btrfs inspect dump-super /dev/loop3 | egrep '$p'
      superblock: bytenr=65536, device=/dev/loop3
      flags			0x1
      fsid			7d4b4b93-2b27-4432-b4e4-4be1fbccbd45
      metadata_uuid		bb040a9f-233a-4de2-ad84-49aa5a28059b
      generation		8
      num_devices		2
      incompat_flags	0x741
      dev_item.devid	2
    
    It is normal that some devices aren't instantly discovered during
    system boot or iSCSI discovery. The controlled scan below demonstrates
    this.
    
      $ btrfs device scan --forget
      $ btrfs device scan /dev/loop0
      Scanning for btrfs filesystems on '/dev/loop0'
      $ mount /dev/loop3 /btrfs
      $ btrfs filesystem show -m
      Label: none  uuid: 7d4b4b93-2b27-4432-b4e4-4be1fbccbd45
    	Total devices 2 FS bytes used 144.00KiB
    	devid    1 size 300.00MiB used 48.00MiB path /dev/loop0
    	devid    2 size 300.00MiB used 40.00MiB path /dev/loop3
    
    /dev/loop0 and /dev/loop3 are incorrectly partnered.
    
    This kernel patch removes functions and code connected to the
    CHANGING_FSID_V2 flag.
    
    With this patch, now devices with the CHANGING_FSID_V2 flag are rejected.
    And its partner will fail to mount with the extra -o degraded option.
    The check is removed from open_ctree(), devices are rejected during
    scanning which in turn fails the mount.
