            Bug ID: 216317
           Summary: "ext4: lblock 0 mapped to illegal pblock" after
                    upgrading to 5.19.0
           Product: File System
           Version: 2.5
    Kernel Version: 5.19.0
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: high
          Priority: P1
         Component: ext4
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]
        Regression: No

On upgrading to kernel 5.19.0, I hit a bunch of warnings and inaccessible files. Attempting to access e.g. /etc/alsa/conf.d/51-pulseaudio-probe.conf (symlink to ../../../usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf.d/51-pulseaudio-probe.conf) resulted in a "Structure needs cleaning" error. Checking dmesg shows the following:

Aug 02 01:10:43 [kernel] [   12.037708] EXT4-fs error (device dm-2):
ext4_map_blocks:599: inode #14680223: block 774843950: comm alsactl: lblock 0

Aug 02 01:10:43 [kernel] [   12.045207] EXT4-fs error (device dm-2):

Lots of other files were also showing the same issue. Reverting to 5.18.10 (and running fsck) fixed it with no noticeable corruption.

Rootfs is ext4, using LVM-on-LUKS. (/dev/sda2 is a LUKS volume that contains an LVM physical volume.) I have inline data turned on; the symlink is 60 bytes, so it could be an inline data issue, but other symlinks in /etc/alsa/conf.d/ weren't showing the problem.

--- Comment #2 from David Korth ([email protected]) --- After doing some searching, it looks like this commit may fix the issue:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/ext4.git/commit/?h=dev&id=f50f5a5eac8092fb9b3365ca4b1d7407cdab8427

ext4: fix reading leftover inlined symlinks
Since commit 6493792d3299 ("ext4: convert symlink external data block mapping to bdev"), create new symlink with inline_data is not supported, but it missing to handle the leftover inlined symlinks, which could cause below error message and fail to read symlink.

ls: cannot read symbolic link 'foo': Structure needs cleaning

EXT4-fs error (device sda): ext4_map_blocks:605: inode #12: block 2021161080: comm ls: lblock 0 mapped to illegal pblock 2021161080 (length 1)

Fix this regression by adding ext4_read_inline_link(), which read the inline data directly and convert it through a kmalloced buffer.

--- Comment #3 from David Korth ([email protected]) --- Reading the various commits, it seems that ext4's inline_data option previously supported inlining symlinks, but as of v5.19.0, that's no longer supported. The patch restores read-only compatibility, but new symlinks will not be inlined. Is there any particular reason why symlink inlining was removed, and/or does the new method work better than inlining?
