xfs: inode buffers may not be valid during recovery readahead
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
CRC enabled filesystems fail log recovery with 100% reliability on
xfstests xfs/085 with the following failure:

XFS (vdb): Mounting Filesystem
XFS (vdb): Starting recovery (logdev: internal)
XFS (vdb): Corruption detected. Unmount and run xfs_repair
XFS (vdb): bad inode magic/vsn daddr 144 #0 (magic=0)
XFS: Assertion failed: 0, file: fs/xfs/xfs_inode_buf.c, line: 95

The problem is that the inode buffer has not been recovered before
the readahead on the inode buffer is issued. The checkpoint being
recovered actually allocates the inode chunk we are doing readahead
from, so what comes from disk during readahead is essentially
random and the verifier barfs on it.

This inode buffer readahead problem affects non-crc filesystems,
too, but xfstests does not trigger it at all on such
configurations....

/*
* If we are doing readahead on an inode buffer, we might be in log recovery
* reading an inode allocation buffer that hasn't yet been replayed, and hence
* has not had the inode cores stamped into it. Hence for readahead, the buffer
* may be potentially invalid.
*
* If the readahead buffer is invalid, we don't want to mark it with an error,
* but we do want to clear the DONE status of the buffer so that a followup read
* will re-read it from disk. This will ensure that we don't get an unnecessary
* warnings during log recovery and we don't get unnecssary panics on debug
* kernels.
