The GFS2_RDF_UPTODATE flag in the rgrp is used to determine when a rgrp buffer is valid. It's cleared when the glock is invalidated, signifying that the buffer data is now invalid. But before this patch, function update_rgrp_lvb was setting the flag when it determined it had a valid lvb. But that's an invalid assumption: just because you have a valid lvb doesn't mean you have valid buffers. After all, another node may have made the lvb valid, and this node just fetched it from the glock via dlm. Consider this scenario: 1. The file system is mounted with RGRPLVB option. 2. In gfs2_inplace_reserve it locks the rgrp glock EX, but thanks to GL_SKIP, it skips the gfs2_rgrp_bh_get. 3. Since loops == 0 and the allocation target (ap->target) is bigger than the largest known chunk of blocks in the rgrp (rs->rs_rbm.rgd->rd_extfail_pt) it skips that rgrp and bypasses the call to gfs2_rgrp_bh_get there as well. 4. update_rgrp_lvb sees the lvb MAGIC number is valid, so bypasses gfs2_rgrp_bh_get, but it still sets sets GFS2_RDF_UPTODATE due to this invalid assumption. 5. The next time update_rgrp_lvb is called, it sees the bit is set and just returns 0, assuming both the lvb and rgrp are both uptodate. But since this is a smaller allocation, or space has been freed by another node, thus adjusting the lvb values, it decides to use the rgrp for allocations, with invalid rd_free due to the fact it was never updated. This patch changes update_rgrp_lvb so it doesn't set the UPTODATE flag anymore. That way, it has no choice but to fetch the latest values. Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson <rpeterso@redhat.com> |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
