xfs: catch inode allocation state mismatch corruption



We recently came across a V4 filesystem causing memory corruption
due to a newly allocated inode being setup twice and being added to
the superblock inode list twice. From code inspection, the only way
this could happen is if a newly allocated inode was not marked as
free on disk (i.e. di_mode wasn't zero).

Running the metadump on an upstream debug kernel fails during inode
allocation like so:

XFS: Assertion failed: ip->i_d.di_nblocks == 0, file: fs/xfs/xfs_inod=
e.c, line: 838

Extracting the inode number we crashed on from an event trace and
looking at it with xfs_db:

xfs_db> inode 184452204
xfs_db> p
core.magic = 0x494e
core.mode = 0100644
core.version = 2
core.format = 2 (extents)
core.nlinkv2 = 1
core.onlink = 0
.....

Confirms that it is not a free inode on disk. xfs_repair
also trips over this inode:

.....
zero length extent (off = 0, fsbno = 0) in ino 184452204
correcting nextents for inode 184452204
bad attribute fork in inode 184452204, would clear attr fork
bad nblocks 1 for inode 184452204, would reset to 0
bad anextents 1 for inode 184452204, would reset to 0
imap claims in-use inode 184452204 is free, would correct imap
would have cleared inode 184452204
.....
disconnected inode 184452204, would move to lost+found

And so we have a situation where the directory structure and the
inobt thinks the inode is free, but the inode on disk thinks it is
still in use. Where this corruption came from is not possible to
diagnose, but we can detect it and prevent the kernel from oopsing
on lookup. The reproducer now results in:

$ sudo mkdir /mnt/scratch/{0,1,2,3,4,5}{0,1,2,3,4,5}

utput error

....

And this corruption shutdown:

Note that this crash is only possible on v4 filesystemsi or v5
filesystems mounted with the ikeep mount option. For all other V5
filesystems, this problem cannot occur because we don't read inodes
we are allocating from disk - we simply overwrite them with the new
inode information.
