Btrfs: fix metadata inconsistencies after directory fsync
We can get into inconsistency between inodes and directory entries after fsyncing a directory. The issue is that while a directory gets the new dentries persisted in the fsync log and replayed at mount time, the link count of the inode that directory entries point to doesn't get updated, staying with an incorrect link count (smaller then the correct value). This later leads to stale file handle errors when accessing (including attempt to delete) some of the links if all the other ones are removed, which also implies impossibility to delete the parent directories, since the dentries can not be removed. Another issue is that (unlike ext3/4, xfs, f2fs, reiserfs, nilfs2), when fsyncing a directory, new files aren't logged (their metadata and dentries) nor any child directories. So this patch fixes this issue too, since it has the same resolution as the incorrect inode link count issue mentioned before. This is very easy to reproduce, and the following excerpt from my test case for xfstests shows how: _scratch_mkfs >> $seqres.full 2>&1 _init_flakey _mount_flakey # Create our main test file and directory. $XFS_IO_PROG -f -c "pwrite -S 0xaa 0 8K" $SCRATCH_MNT/foo | _filter_xfs_io mkdir $SCRATCH_MNT/mydir # Make sure all metadata and data are durably persisted. sync # Add a hard link to 'foo' inside our test directory and fsync only the # directory. The btrfs fsync implementation had a bug that caused the new # directory entry to be visible after the fsync log replay but, the inode # of our file remained with a link count of 1. ln $SCRATCH_MNT/foo $SCRATCH_MNT/mydir/foo_2 # Add a few more links and new files. # This is just to verify nothing breaks or gives incorrect results after the # fsync log is replayed. ln $SCRATCH_MNT/foo $SCRATCH_MNT/mydir/foo_3 $XFS_IO_PROG -f -c "pwrite -S 0xff 0 64K" $SCRATCH_MNT/hello | _filter_xfs_io ln $SCRATCH_MNT/hello $SCRATCH_MNT/mydir/hello_2 # Add some subdirectories and new files and links to them. This is to verify # that after fsyncing our top level directory 'mydir', all the subdirectories # and their files/links are registered in the fsync log and exist after the # fsync log is replayed. mkdir -p $SCRATCH_MNT/mydir/x/y/z ln $SCRATCH_MNT/foo $SCRATCH_MNT/mydir/x/y/foo_y_link ln $SCRATCH_MNT/foo $SCRATCH_MNT/mydir/x/y/z/foo_z_link touch $SCRATCH_MNT/mydir/x/y/z/qwerty # Now fsync only our top directory. $XFS_IO_PROG -c "fsync" $SCRATCH_MNT/mydir # And fsync now our new file named 'hello', just to verify later that it has # the expected content and that the previous fsync on the directory 'mydir' had # no bad influence on this fsync. $XFS_IO_PROG -c "fsync" $SCRATCH_MNT/hello # Simulate a crash/power loss. _load_flakey_table $FLAKEY_DROP_WRITES _unmount_flakey _load_flakey_table $FLAKEY_ALLOW_WRITES _mount_flakey # Verify the content of our file 'foo' remains the same as before, 8192 bytes, # all with the value 0xaa. echo "File 'foo' content after log replay:" od -t x1 $SCRATCH_MNT/foo # Remove the first name of our inode. Because of the directory fsync bug, the # inode's link count was 1 instead of 5, so removing the 'foo' name ended up # deleting the inode and the other names became stale directory entries (still # visible to applications). Attempting to remove or access the remaining # dentries pointing to that inode resulted in stale file handle errors and # made it impossible to remove the parent directories since it was impossible # for them to become empty. echo "file 'foo' link count after log replay: $(stat -c %h $SCRATCH_MNT/foo)" rm -f $SCRATCH_MNT/foo # Now verify that all files, links and directories created before fsyncing our # directory exist after the fsync log was replayed.
