If we do an append write to a file (which increases its inode's i_size)
that does not have the flag BTRFS_INODE_NEEDS_FULL_SYNC set in its inode,
and the previous transaction added a new hard link to the file, which sets
the flag BTRFS_INODE_COPY_EVERYTHING in the file's inode, and then fsync
the file, the inode's new i_size isn't logged. This has the consequence
that after the fsync log is replayed, the file size remains what it was
before the append write operation, which means users/applications will
not be able to read the data that was successsfully fsync'ed before.
This happens because neither the inode item nor the delayed inode get
their i_size updated when the append write is made - doing so would
require starting a transaction in the buffered write path, something that
we do not do intentionally for performance reasons.
Fix this by making sure that when the flag BTRFS_INODE_COPY_EVERYTHING is
set the inode is logged with its current i_size (log the in-memory inode
into the log tree).
This issue is not a recent regression and is easy to reproduce with the
following test case for fstests:
seq=`basename $0`
seqres=$RESULT_DIR/$seq
echo "QA output created by $seq"
here=`pwd`
tmp=/tmp/$$
status=1 # failure is the default!
_cleanup()
{
_cleanup_flakey
rm -f $tmp.*
}
trap "_cleanup; exit \$status" 0 1 2 3 15
# get standard environment, filters and checks

. ./common/filter

# Create the test file with some initial data and then fsync it.
# The fsync here is only needed to trigger the issue in btrfs, as it causes the
# the flag BTRFS_INODE_NEEDS_FULL_SYNC to be removed from the btrfs inode.
$XFS_IO_PROG -f -c "pwrite -S 0xaa 0 32k" \
-c "fsync" \
$SCRATCH_MNT/foo | _filter_xfs_io
sync
# Add a hard link to our file.
# On btrfs this sets the flag BTRFS_INODE_COPY_EVERYTHING on the btrfs inode,
# which is a necessary condition to trigger the issue.
ln $SCRATCH_MNT/foo $SCRATCH_MNT/bar
# Sync the filesystem to force a commit of the current btrfs transaction, this
# is a necessary condition to trigger the bug on btrfs.
sync
# Now append more data to our file, increasing its size, and fsync the file.
# In btrfs because the inode flag BTRFS_INODE_COPY_EVERYTHING was set and the
# write path did not update the inode item in the btree nor the delayed inode
# item (in memory struture) in the current transaction (created by the fsync
# handler), the fsync did not record the inode's new i_size in the fsync
# log/journal. This made the data unavailable after the fsync log/journal is
# replayed.
$XFS_IO_PROG -c "pwrite -S 0xbb 32K 32K" \
-c "fsync" \
$SCRATCH_MNT/foo | _filter_xfs_io
echo "File content after fsync and before crash:"
od -t x1 $SCRATCH_MNT/foo
_crash_and_mount
echo "File content after crash and log replay:"
od -t x1 $SCRATCH_MNT/foo
status=0
exit
The expected file output before and after the crash/power failure expects the
appended data to be available, which is:
