From 9b1998598625fb5b798e8291cafda1a8ec17c1bd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Filipe David Borba Manana Date: Mon, 23 Sep 2013 11:35:11 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Btrfs: fix sync fs to actually wait for all data to be persisted Currently the fs sync function (super.c:btrfs_sync_fs()) doesn't wait for delayed work to finish before returning success to the caller. This change fixes this, ensuring that there's no data loss if a power failure happens right after fs sync returns success to the caller and before the next commit happens. Steps to reproduce the data loss issue: $ mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdb3 $ mount /dev/sdb3 /mnt/btrfs $ perl -e '$d = ("\x41" x 6001); open($f,">","/mnt/btrfs/foobar"); print $f $d; close($f);' && btrfs fi sync /mnt/btrfs Right after the btrfs fi sync command (a second or 2 for example), power off the machine and reboot it. The file will be empty, as it can be verified after mounting the filesystem and through btrfs-debug-tree: $ btrfs-debug-tree /dev/sdb3 | egrep '\(257 INODE_ITEM 0\) itemoff' -B 3 -A 8 item 3 key (256 DIR_INDEX 2) itemoff 3751 itemsize 36 location key (257 INODE_ITEM 0) type FILE namelen 6 datalen 0 name: foobar item 4 key (257 INODE_ITEM 0) itemoff 3591 itemsize 160 inode generation 7 transid 7 size 0 block group 0 mode 100644 links 1 item 5 key (257 INODE_REF 256) itemoff 3575 itemsize 16 inode ref index 2 namelen 6 name: foobar checksum tree key (CSUM_TREE ROOT_ITEM 0) leaf 29429760 items 0 free space 3995 generation 7 owner 7 fs uuid 6192815c-af2a-4b75-b3db-a959ffb6166e chunk uuid b529c44b-938c-4d3d-910a-013b4700bcae uuid tree key (UUID_TREE ROOT_ITEM 0) After this patch, the data loss no longer happens after a power failure and btrfs-debug-tree shows: $ btrfs-debug-tree /dev/sdb3 | egrep '\(257 INODE_ITEM 0\) itemoff' -B 3 -A 8 item 3 key (256 DIR_INDEX 2) itemoff 3751 itemsize 36 location key (257 INODE_ITEM 0) type FILE namelen 6 datalen 0 name: foobar item 4 key (257 INODE_ITEM 0) itemoff 3591 itemsize 160 inode generation 6 transid 6 size 6001 block group 0 mode 100644 links 1 item 5 key (257 INODE_REF 256) itemoff 3575 itemsize 16 inode ref index 2 namelen 6 name: foobar item 6 key (257 EXTENT_DATA 0) itemoff 3522 itemsize 53 extent data disk byte 12845056 nr 8192 extent data offset 0 nr 8192 ram 8192 extent compression 0 checksum tree key (CSUM_TREE ROOT_ITEM 0) Signed-off-by: Filipe David Borba Manana Reviewed-by: Miao Xie Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik Signed-off-by: Chris Mason --- fs/btrfs/ioctl.c | 12 +++++++++--- 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/fs/btrfs/ioctl.c b/fs/btrfs/ioctl.c index 9d46f60cb943..385c58f2bba1 100644 --- a/fs/btrfs/ioctl.c +++ b/fs/btrfs/ioctl.c @@ -4557,9 +4557,15 @@ long btrfs_ioctl(struct file *file, unsigned int return btrfs_ioctl_logical_to_ino(root, argp); case BTRFS_IOC_SPACE_INFO: return btrfs_ioctl_space_info(root, argp); - case BTRFS_IOC_SYNC: - btrfs_sync_fs(file->f_dentry->d_sb, 1); - return 0; + case BTRFS_IOC_SYNC: { + int ret; + + ret = btrfs_start_all_delalloc_inodes(root->fs_info, 0); + if (ret) + return ret; + ret = btrfs_sync_fs(file->f_dentry->d_sb, 1); + return ret; + } case BTRFS_IOC_START_SYNC: return btrfs_ioctl_start_sync(root, argp); case BTRFS_IOC_WAIT_SYNC:
