Btrfs: remove deleted xattrs on fsync log replay
If we deleted xattrs from a file and fsynced the file, after a log replay the xattrs would remain associated to the file. This was an unexpected behaviour and differs from what other filesystems do, such as for example xfs and ext3/4. Fix this by, on fsync log replay, check if every xattr in the fs/subvol tree (that belongs to a logged inode) has a matching xattr in the log, and if it does not, delete it from the fs/subvol tree. This is a similar approach to what we do for dentries when we replay a directory from the fsync log. This issue is trivial to reproduce, and the following excerpt from my test for xfstests triggers the issue: _crash_and_mount() { # Simulate a crash/power loss. _load_flakey_table $FLAKEY_DROP_WRITES _unmount_flakey _load_flakey_table $FLAKEY_ALLOW_WRITES _mount_flakey } rm -f $seqres.full _scratch_mkfs >> $seqres.full 2>&1 _init_flakey _mount_flakey # Create out test file and add 3 xattrs to it. touch $SCRATCH_MNT/foobar $SETFATTR_PROG -n user.attr1 -v val1 $SCRATCH_MNT/foobar $SETFATTR_PROG -n user.attr2 -v val2 $SCRATCH_MNT/foobar $SETFATTR_PROG -n user.attr3 -v val3 $SCRATCH_MNT/foobar # Make sure everything is durably persisted. sync # Now delete the second xattr and fsync the inode. $SETFATTR_PROG -x user.attr2 $SCRATCH_MNT/foobar $XFS_IO_PROG -c "fsync" $SCRATCH_MNT/foobar _crash_and_mount # After the fsync log is replayed, the file should have only 2 xattrs, the ones # named user.attr1 and user.attr3. The btrfs fsync log replay bug left the file # with the 3 xattrs that we had before deleting the second one and fsyncing the # file. echo "xattr names and values after first fsync log replay:" $GETFATTR_PROG --absolute-names --dump $SCRATCH_MNT/foobar | _filter_scratch # Now write some data to our file, fsync it, remove the first xattr, add a new # hard link to our file and commit the fsync log by fsyncing some other new # file. This is to verify that after log replay our first xattr does not exist # anymore. echo "hello world!" >> $SCRATCH_MNT/foobar $XFS_IO_PROG -c "fsync" $SCRATCH_MNT/foobar $SETFATTR_PROG -x user.attr1 $SCRATCH_MNT/foobar ln $SCRATCH_MNT/foobar $SCRATCH_MNT/foobar_link touch $SCRATCH_MNT/qwerty $XFS_IO_PROG -c "fsync" $SCRATCH_MNT/qwerty _crash_and_mount # Now only the xattr with name user.attr3 should be set in our file. echo "xattr names and values after second fsync log replay:" $GETFATTR_PROG --absolute-names --dump $SCRATCH_MNT/foobar | _filter_scratch status=0 exit The expected golden output, which is produced with this patch applied or when testing against xfs or ext3/4, is: xattr names and values after first fsync log replay: # file: SCRATCH_MNT/foobar user.attr1="val1" user.attr3="val3" xattr names and values after second fsync log replay: # file: SCRATCH_MNT/foobar user.attr3="val3" Without this patch applied, the output is: xattr names and values after first fsync log replay: # file: SCRATCH_MNT/foobar user.attr1="val1" user.attr2="val2" user.attr3="val3" xattr names and values after second fsync log replay: # file: SCRATCH_MNT/foobar user.attr1="val1" user.attr2="val2" user.attr3="val3" A patch with a test case for xfstests follows soon.
