There's a weird discrepancy in xfsprogs dating back to the creation of the Linux port -- if there are zero rt extents, mkfs will set sb_rextents and sb_rextslog both to zero: sbp->sb_rextslog = (uint8_t)(rtextents ? libxfs_highbit32((unsigned int)rtextents) : 0); However, that's not the check that xfs_repair uses for nonzero rtblocks: if (sb->sb_rextslog != libxfs_highbit32((unsigned int)sb->sb_rextents)) The difference here is that xfs_highbit32 returns -1 if its argument is zero. Unfortunately, this means that in the weird corner case of a realtime volume shorter than 1 rt extent, xfs_repair will immediately flag a freshly formatted filesystem as corrupt. Because mkfs has been writing ondisk artifacts like this for decades, we have to accept that as "correct". TBH, zero rextslog for zero rtextents makes more sense to me anyway. Regrettably, the superblock verifier checks created in commit copied xfs_repair even though mkfs has been writing out such filesystems for ages. Fix the superblock verifier to accept what mkfs spits out; the userspace version of this patch will have to fix xfs_repair as well. Note that the new helper leaves the zeroday bug where the upper 32 bits of sb_rextents is ripped off and fed to highbit32. This leads to a seriously undersized rt summary file, which immediately breaks mkfs: $ hugedisk.sh foo /dev/sdc $(( 0x100000080 * 4096))B $ /sbin/mkfs.xfs -f /dev/sda -m rmapbt=0,reflink=0 -r rtdev=/dev/mapper/foo meta-data=/dev/sda isize=512 agcount=4, agsize=1298176 blks = sectsz=512 attr=2, projid32bit=1 = crc=1 finobt=1, sparse=1, rmapbt=0 = reflink=0 bigtime=1 inobtcount=1 nrext64=1 data = bsize=4096 blocks=5192704, imaxpct=25 = sunit=0 swidth=0 blks naming =version 2 bsize=4096 ascii-ci=0, ftype=1 log =internal log bsize=4096 blocks=16384, version=2 = sectsz=512 sunit=0 blks, lazy-count=1 realtime =/dev/mapper/foo extsz=4096 blocks=4294967424, rtextents=4294967424 Discarding blocks...Done. mkfs.xfs: Error initializing the realtime space [117 - Structure needs cleaning] The next patch will drop support for rt volumes with fewer than 1 or more than 2^32-1 rt extents, since they've clearly been broken forever.
