[PATCH 0/7] relocation error handling fixes

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



My root ref patches have uncovered weird failures in some of our xfstests,
particularly those that do balance while having errors.

I ran relocation through my eio-stress bpf script and loads of things fell out,
these are the fixes required to make the stress test run to completion.

Dave this is just based on my master, I assume it'll apply cleanly to what you
have, but if not let me know which branch you want me to rebase onto to get it
to work right.

Most of these are straightforward, the only tricky/subtle one is 7/7, and I've
added a lot of explanation there around my reasoning.  6/7 is also a little bit
more complicated as it changes the rules slightly for reference holding for
roots.  Before we just sort of hoped and prayed we go the right reference
dropped when we dropped root->reloc_root.  Now we hold one ref for the list of
reloc roots and one ref for root->reloc_root, so it's more clear when we need to
be dropping references.  Everything else is relatively straightforward.  Thanks,

Josef
