Btrfs: fix fsync data loss after append write
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/rc . ./common/filter . ./common/dmflakey # real QA test starts here _supported_fs generic _supported_os Linux _need_to_be_root _require_scratch _require_dm_flakey _require_metadata_journaling $SCRATCH_DEV _crash_and_mount() { # Simulate a crash/power loss. _load_flakey_table $FLAKEY_DROP_WRITES _unmount_flakey # Allow writes again and mount. This makes the fs replay its fsync log. _load_flakey_table $FLAKEY_ALLOW_WRITES _mount_flakey } rm -f $seqres.full _scratch_mkfs >> $seqres.full 2>&1 _init_flakey _mount_flakey # 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: 0000000 aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa * 0100000 bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb * 0200000 Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by:Filipe Manana <fdmanana@suse.com> Reviewed-by:
