From 37eb17e604ac7398bbb133c82f281475d704fff7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dave Chinner Date: Mon, 12 Nov 2012 22:09:46 +1100 Subject: xfs: drop buffer io reference when a bad bio is built Error handling in xfs_buf_ioapply_map() does not handle IO reference counts correctly. We increment the b_io_remaining count before building the bio, but then fail to decrement it in the failure case. This leads to the buffer never running IO completion and releasing the reference that the IO holds, so at unmount we can leak the buffer. This leak is captured by this assert failure during unmount: XFS: Assertion failed: atomic_read(&pag->pag_ref) == 0, file: fs/xfs/xfs_mount.c, line: 273 This is not a new bug - the b_io_remaining accounting has had this problem for a long, long time - it's just very hard to get a zero length bio being built by this code... Further, the buffer IO error can be overwritten on a multi-segment buffer by subsequent bio completions for partial sections of the buffer. Hence we should only set the buffer error status if the buffer is not already carrying an error status. This ensures that a partial IO error on a multi-segment buffer will not be lost. This part of the problem is a regression, however. cc: Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner Reviewed-by: Mark Tinguely Signed-off-by: Ben Myers --- fs/xfs/xfs_buf.c | 14 ++++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 12 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'fs/xfs') diff --git a/fs/xfs/xfs_buf.c b/fs/xfs/xfs_buf.c index 933b793..4b0b8dd 100644 --- a/fs/xfs/xfs_buf.c +++ b/fs/xfs/xfs_buf.c @@ -1197,9 +1197,14 @@ xfs_buf_bio_end_io( { xfs_buf_t *bp = (xfs_buf_t *)bio->bi_private; - xfs_buf_ioerror(bp, -error); + /* + * don't overwrite existing errors - otherwise we can lose errors on + * buffers that require multiple bios to complete. + */ + if (!bp->b_error) + xfs_buf_ioerror(bp, -error); - if (!error && xfs_buf_is_vmapped(bp) && (bp->b_flags & XBF_READ)) + if (!bp->b_error && xfs_buf_is_vmapped(bp) && (bp->b_flags & XBF_READ)) invalidate_kernel_vmap_range(bp->b_addr, xfs_buf_vmap_len(bp)); _xfs_buf_ioend(bp, 1); @@ -1279,6 +1284,11 @@ next_chunk: if (size) goto next_chunk; } else { + /* + * This is guaranteed not to be the last io reference count + * because the caller (xfs_buf_iorequest) holds a count itself. + */ + atomic_dec(&bp->b_io_remaining); xfs_buf_ioerror(bp, EIO); bio_put(bio); } -- cgit v1.1
