mainlining shenanigans
I got some errors when I repair an ext4 volume which stacked by an iscsi target: Entry 'test60' in / (2) has deleted/unused inode 73750. Clear? It can be reproduced when the network not good enough. When I debug this I found ext4 will read entry buffer from disk and the buffer is marked with write_io_error. If the buffer is marked with write_io_error, it means it already wroten to journal, and not checked out to disk. IOW, the journal is newer than the data in disk. If this journal record 'delete test60', it means the 'test60' still on the disk metadata. In this case, if we read the buffer from disk successfully and create file continue, the new journal record will overwrite the journal which record 'delete test60', then the entry corruptioned. So, use the buffer rather than read from disk if the buffer is marked with write_io_error. Signed-off-by: Zhang Xiaoxu <zhangxiaoxu5@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> |

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
