Bug#685726: ext4 bug for kernel linux-image-3.2.0-4-amd64 (3.2.39-2).

2013-03-14 Thread hrayr
Today I have upgraded the kernel, now it is linux-image-3.2.0-4-amd64
(3.2.39-2).
I think we have to reopen the bug, because it seems that the bug is not
solved but just suppressed the warning messages.
It is not just my thoughts; everyone can make sure executing couple of
command.



df ( will show the free space of partition, f.x. 200GB free)

dd /dev/zero of=IMG_FILE bs=1M count=128k(will create image file, with
size 128GB)

df ( now we can see that the partition free space is 72GB, because we
have 128GB image file on it)

mkfs -t ext4 IMG_FILE(will format image file, without any error
messages or warnings!!!)

df ( after the formatting process is finished, df will show that we
have 200GB free space, and ls -al will show that we also have file
IMG_FILE on the partition, with the size 128GB!!!)



This effect is exactly the same as it was before, but with one small
difference: the error messages suppressed, and we haven't chance to see
errors.
It is worst. We have the bug, but haven't error messages.


Please take into account that I haven’t created the sparse file, in the
case of sparse file it is normal when you have 128 GB file on 200 GB
partition and the command df is show that 200 GB is still free.



Hrayr.

The original bug was inside the punch hole functionality, aka the
resulting file should be sparse.

 Please take into account that I haven’t created the sparse file, in the
 case of sparse file it is normal when you have 128 GB file on 200 GB

Yes, you do. mkfs.ext4 takes the liberty to discard anything that it
useless anyway.

 Yeah, I haven't chance to compile and test the new kernel due to lack of
 time:(

I was able to reproduce this with:

SCRATCH=/dev/sdc1
mke2fs -t ext4 -m 0 $SCRATCH
mount $SCRATCH /mnt
dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/test.img bs=256M count=640
losetup /dev/loop0 /mnt/test.img
mke2fs -t ext4 /dev/loop0

I tested Ted's patches on top of 3.2.37 (one of them needed a context
change as we already got commit
dee1f973ca341c266229faa5a1a5bb268bed3531) and they seem to fix the
problem: I see no errors from mke2fs, or the kernel, or subsequent
'fsck.ext4 -f' of the inner and outer filesystems.

I have therefore committed these for the next Debian release and will
also queue them up for 3.2.y.

Subject: [PATCH 1/3] ext4: rewrite punch hole to use ext4_ext_remove_space()

Commit 5f95d21fb6f2aaa52830e5b7fb405f6c71d3ab85 upstream.

This commit rewrites ext4 punch hole implementation to use
ext4_ext_remove_space() instead of its home gown way of doing this via
ext4_ext_map_blocks(). There are several reasons for changing this.

Firstly it is quite non obvious that punching hole needs to
ext4_ext_map_blocks() to punch a hole, especially given that this
function should map blocks, not unmap it. It also required a lot of new
code in ext4_ext_map_blocks().

Secondly the design of it is not very effective. The reason is that we
are trying to punch out blocks in ext4_ext_punch_hole() in opposite
direction than in ext4_ext_rm_leaf() which causes the ext4_ext_rm_leaf()
to iterate through the whole tree from the end to the start to find the
requested extent for every extent we are going to punch out.

And finally the current implementation does not use the existing code,
but bring a lot of new code, which is IMO unnecessary since there
already is some infrastructure we can use. Specifically
ext4_ext_remove_space().

This commit changes ext4_ext_remove_space() to accept 'end' parameter so
we can not only truncate to the end of file, but also remove the space
in the middle of the file (punch a hole). Moreover, because the last
block to punch out, might be in the middle of the extent, we have to
split the extent at 'end + 1' so ext4_ext_rm_leaf() can easily either
remove the whole fist part of split extent, or change its size.

ext4_ext_remove_space() is then used to actually remove the space
(extents) from within the hole, instead of ext4_ext_map_blocks().

Note that this also fix the issue with punch hole, where we would forget
to remove empty index blocks from the extent tree, resulting in double
free block error and file system corruption. This is simply because we
now use different code path, where this problem does not exist.

This has been tested with fsx running for several days and xfstests,
plus xfstest #251 with '-o discard' run on the loop image (which
converts discard requestes into punch hole to the backing file). All of
it on 1K and 4K file system block size.

  Have you tested this on any other kernel versions (earlier or later)?
 Yes, I have tested with the earlier versions, all earlier versions of
 3.x.x kernels have this bug.

I talked to the ext4 maintainer about this.  He recognised the problem
and said you can work around this by adding the option '-E nodiscard'
when running mke2fs.

This is supposed to be fixed in Linux 3.5.3 (not yet available in
Debian).  We will try to get it fixed in Linux 3.2.y soon.

 Dear Maintainer,
 
When I'm trying to format file image with the command mkfs -t ext4 
 file.img, it returns the following errors
 [  142.328065] EXT4-fs error (device sdb1): ext4_ext_map_blocks:3769: inode

So you have an ext4 filesystem in file.img, on top of an ext4 filesystem
on /dev/sdb1?

The problem visible only for big images f.x. 160Gb and more.
I did the tests on different hardwares, but result the same. 
[...]

How is test.img created, before you run mkfs?  Is it a sparse file or
does it have all data blocks allocated?

Have you tested this on any other kernel versions (earlier or later)?
If not, can you try Linux 3.5, which is available in the experimental
suite?

Ben.
