ext4: correctly migrate a file with a hole at the beginning
Currently ext4_ind_migrate() doesn't correctly handle a file which contains a hole at the beginning of the file. This caused the migration to be done incorrectly, and then if there is a subsequent following delayed allocation write to the "hole", this would reclaim the same data blocks again and results in fs corruption. # assmuing 4k block size ext4, with delalloc enabled # skip the first block and write to the second block xfs_io -fc "pwrite 4k 4k" -c "fsync" /mnt/ext4/testfile # converting to indirect-mapped file, which would move the data blocks # to the beginning of the file, but extent status cache still marks # that region as a hole chattr -e /mnt/ext4/testfile # delayed allocation writes to the "hole", reclaim the same data block # again, results in i_blocks corruption xfs_io -c "pwrite 0 4k" /mnt/ext4/testfile umount /mnt/ext4 e2fsck -nf /dev/sda6 ... Inode 53, i_blocks is 16, should be 8. Fix? no ... Signed-off-by: Eryu Guan <guaneryu@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
