If we have an inode that does not have the full sync flag set, was changed in the current transaction, then it is logged while logging some other inode (like its parent directory for example), its i_size is increased by a truncate operation, the log is synced through an fsync of some other inode and then finally we explicitly call fsync on our inode, the new i_size is not persisted. The following example shows how to trigger it, with comments explaining how and why the issue happens: $ mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdc $ mount /dev/sdc /mnt $ touch /mnt/foo $ xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -S 0xab 0 1M" /mnt/bar $ sync # Fsync bar, this will be a noop since the file has not yet been # modified in the current transaction. The goal here is to clear # BTRFS_INODE_NEEDS_FULL_SYNC from the inode's runtime flags. $ xfs_io -c "fsync" /mnt/bar # Now rename both files, without changing their parent directory. $ mv /mnt/bar /mnt/bar2 $ mv /mnt/foo /mnt/foo2 # Increase the size of bar2 with a truncate operation. $ xfs_io -c "truncate 2M" /mnt/bar2 # Now fsync foo2, this results in logging its parent inode (the root # directory), and logging the parent results in logging the inode of # file bar2 (its inode item and the new name). The inode of file bar2 # is logged with an i_size of 0 bytes since it's logged in # LOG_INODE_EXISTS mode, meaning we are only logging its names (and # xattrs if it had any) and the i_size of the inode will not be changed # when the log is replayed. $ xfs_io -c "fsync" /mnt/foo2 # Now explicitly fsync bar2. This resulted in doing nothing, not # logging the inode with the new i_size of 2M and the hole from file # offset 1M to 2M. Because the inode did not have the flag # BTRFS_INODE_NEEDS_FULL_SYNC set, when it was logged through the # fsync of file foo2, its last_log_commit field was updated, # resulting in this explicit of file bar2 not doing anything. $ xfs_io -c "fsync" /mnt/bar2 # File bar2 content and size before a power failure. $ od -A d -t x1 /mnt/bar2 0000000 ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ab * 1048576 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 * 2097152 <power failure> # Mount the filesystem to replay the log. $ mount /dev/sdc /mnt # Read the file again, should have the same content and size as before # the power failure happened, but it doesn't, i_size is still at 1M. $ od -A d -t x1 /mnt/bar2 0000000 ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ab * 1048576 This started to happen after commit |

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.
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.
