Public bug reported: SRU Justification
Impact: The patch commit cfaa482afb97e3c05d020af80b897b061109d51f Author: Christian Brauner <[email protected]> Date: Tue Apr 14 22:26:53 2020 +0200 UBUNTU: SAUCE: shiftfs: fix dentry revalidation BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1872757 to fix https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1872757 regresses various btrfs + shiftfs users. Creating a btrfs subvolume, deleting it, and then trying to recreate it will cause EEXIST to be returned. It also leaves some files in a half-visible state because they are not revalidated correctly. Faulty behavior such as this can be reproduced via: btrfs subvolume create my-subvol btrfs subvolume delete my-subvol Fix: We need to revert this patch restoring the old behavior. This will briefly resurface https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1872757 which I will fix in a follow-up patch on top of this revert. We basically split the part that fixes https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1872757 out of the revert. Regression Potential: Limited to shiftfs. Test Case: Build a kernel with fix applied and run above reproducer. ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Assignee: Christian Brauner (cbrauner) Status: In Progress ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => In Progress ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Christian Brauner (cbrauner) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1884767 Title: shiftfs: fix btrfs regression To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1884767/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
