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.
