In some scenarios an incremental send stream can contain link commands
with an invalid target path. Such scenarios happen after moving some
directory inode A, renaming a regular file inode B into the old name of
inode A and finally creating a new hard link for inode B at directory
inode A.
Consider the following example scenario where this issue happens.
Parent snapshot:
. (ino 256)
|
|--- dir1/ (ino 257)
| |--- dir2/ (ino 258)
| |--- dir3/ (ino 259)
| |--- file1 (ino 261)
| |--- dir4/ (ino 262)
|
|--- dir5/ (ino 260)
Send snapshot:
. (ino 256)
|
|--- dir1/ (ino 257)
|--- dir2/ (ino 258)
| |--- dir3/ (ino 259)
| |--- dir4 (ino 261)
|
|--- dir6/ (ino 263)
|--- dir44/ (ino 262)
|--- file11 (ino 261)
|--- dir55/ (ino 260)
When attempting to apply the corresponding incremental send stream, a
link command contains an invalid target path which makes the receiver
fail. The following is the verbose output of the btrfs receive command:
receiving snapshot mysnap2 uuid=90076fe6-5ba6-e64a-9321-9279670ed16b (...)
utimes
utimes dir1
utimes dir1/dir2/dir3

rename dir1/dir2/dir3/dir4 -> o262-7-0

link dir1/dir2/dir3/dir4/file11 -> dir1/dir2/dir3/file1
ERROR: link dir1/dir2/dir3/dir4/file11 -> dir1/dir2/dir3/file1 failed: Not a directory
The following steps happen during the computation of the incremental send
stream the lead to this issue:
1) When processing inode 261, we orphanize inode 262 due to a name/location
collision with one of the new hard links for inode 261 (created in the
second step below).
2) We create one of the 2 new hard links for inode 261, the one whose
location is at "dir1/dir2/dir3/dir4".
3) We then attempt to create the other new hard link for inode 261, which
has inode 262 as its parent directory. Because the path for this new
hard link was computed before we started processing the new references
(hard links), it reflects the old name/location of inode 262, that is,
it does not account for the orphanization step that happened when
we started processing the new references for inode 261, whence it is
no longer valid, causing the receiver to fail.
So fix this issue by recomputing the full path of new references if we
ended up orphanizing other inodes which are directories.
A test case for fstests follows soon.
