From 6e643cd094de3bd0f97edcc1db0089afa24d909f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Darrick J. Wong" Date: Thu, 7 Dec 2017 19:07:02 -0800 Subject: xfs: hold xfs_buf locked between shortform->leaf conversion and the addition of an attribute The new attribute leaf buffer is not held locked across the transaction roll between the shortform->leaf modification and the addition of the new entry. As a result, the attribute buffer modification being made is not atomic from an operational perspective. Hence the AIL push can grab it in the transient state of "just created" after the initial transaction is rolled, because the buffer has been released. This leads to xfs_attr3_leaf_verify() asserting that hdr.count is zero, treating this as in-memory corruption, and shutting down the filesystem. Darrick ported the original patch to 4.15 and reworked it use the xfs_defer_bjoin helper and hold/join the buffer correctly across the second transaction roll.
