PATCH v3 1/2 xfs_metadump: Extend zapping to multi fsb dir blocks

The processing for data zeroing was never added to process_multi_fsb_objects. It is now the same thing that process_single_fsb_objects does.

The processing for data zeroing was never added to process_multi_fsb_objects. It is now the same thing that process_single_fsb_objects does.

First, thanks for doing this, seems about right.

But I could use more changelog words here. ;)

AFAICT, the intent was for process_multi_fsb_objects to call process_dir_data_block() in order to handle the zeroing for multi-fsb objects, so at least some of the cases /were/ handled, right?

Your patch seems to be splitting that 3 ways, so we go to process_dir_free_block or process_dir_leaf_block or process_dir_data_block, the first two are new cases that are now handled? (I do see that this is the same as the process_single_fsb_objects code.)

Given the old case:

                        if ((!obfuscate && !zero_stale_data) ||
                             o >= mp->m_dir_geo->leafblk) {
                                ret = write_buf(iocur_top);

it looks like we were just directly writing the leaf blocks and never obfuscating them, is that correct? I guess I need to go make some test filesystems... do you know from your testing if this is true?

This seems quite reasonable, I just think it might be doing more than the changelog says it is...?

PATCH v3 2/2 xfs_metadump: Zap more stale data

In reply to Stefan Ring

I have empirically found and tried to fix some places where stale data was not properly zeroed out.

In the order of the code changes:

- The "freeindex" blocks in inode directories, from last entry to end of block.
- XFS_DIR{2,3}_LEAFN_MAGIC, from last entry to end of block.
- In btree format inodes before as well as after the btree pointers.
- In dev inodes, everything after the header.

This zeroes both data fork and attr fork roots for fifo and device inodes. Wouldn't we want to preserve the device number information? And whatever attrs are attached to the inode, if any?

Re: [PATCH 2/2] xfs_metadump: Zap more stale data

Quoted 3 lines · Stefan Ring

I should find some time this weekend for another round of polishing these patches.

Weekend came early this week (national holiday). The new series is out. I needed this after spending the entire day debugging Java SOAP libraries ;).

I have empirically found and tried to fix some places where stale data was not properly zeroed out.

In the order of the code changes:

- The "freeindex" blocks in inode directories, from last entry to end of block.
- XFS_DIR{2,3}_LEAFN_MAGIC, from last entry to end of block.
- In btree format inodes before as well as after the btree pointers.
- In dev inodes, everything after the header.

Er... this zaps everything past the end of the bmbt pointers, which means that this can zero the attr fork root.

True, this is broken. I'll play around a little more with this one.

This is the same as v2, but with the correct e-mail address this time. Sorry!

Still reading through the patches (this stuff makes my brain hurt)

but I think it'd be nice to structure this in a more incremental way, perhaps:

1) fix dir leaf block processing to handle LEAFN
2) add existing leaf block processing to multi-fsb dirs
3) add the dir2 free processing function, and add it to both single & multi-fsb dirs
4) add the process_btinode fixes
5) add the device inode processing

1,2,3 are dependent, 4 and 5 should be independent, they can each be reviewed for their sole purpose. One change, one patch. :)

Thanks,
-Eric

Hm, I think another case we're missing is interior nodes on multi-fsb objects, i.e. everything under /* Zero unused part of interior nodes */ seems to be missing for the process_multi_fsb_objects case as well. Urk, what a mess.

It is a classic game of whack-a-mole ;). I do understand that it is this way for historical reasons, but if it would be redone today, it should obviously use zeroed buffers for writing out and copy just the bits that are known to be needed.

Yeah, I was thinking about that last night. I'm not sure it'd be a whole lot easier, though - for every single type of metadata block we either need to zap the holes or copy the bits, but every boundary is the same and would need to be computed and handled regardless.
I'm not sure it'd be a win.

Yes, it would not be any easier. But it would be (amost) immediately obvious when something was missed.
