[ Upstream commit 68b957f64f ]
shrikanth hegde reports that filesystems fail shortly after mount with
the following failure:
WARNING: CPU: 56 PID: 12450 at fs/xfs/xfs_inode.c:1839 xfs_iunlink_lookup+0x58/0x80 [xfs]
This of course is the WARN_ON_ONCE in xfs_iunlink_lookup:
ip = radix_tree_lookup(&pag->pag_ici_root, agino);
if (WARN_ON_ONCE(!ip || !ip->i_ino)) { ... }
>From diagnostic data collected by the bug reporters, it would appear
that we cleanly mounted a filesystem that contained unlinked inodes.
Unlinked inodes are only processed as a final step of log recovery,
which means that clean mounts do not process the unlinked list at all.
Prior to the introduction of the incore unlinked lists, this wasn't a
problem because the unlink code would (very expensively) traverse the
entire ondisk metadata iunlink chain to keep things up to date.
However, the incore unlinked list code complains when it realizes that
it is out of sync with the ondisk metadata and shuts down the fs, which
is bad.
Ritesh proposed to solve this problem by unconditionally parsing the
unlinked lists at mount time, but this imposes a mount time cost for
every filesystem to catch something that should be very infrequent.
Instead, let's target the places where we can encounter a next_unlinked
pointer that refers to an inode that is not in cache, and load it into
cache.
Note: This patch does not address the problem of iget loading an inode
from the middle of the iunlink list and needing to set i_prev_unlinked
correctly.

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.
