Message-Id: <20071001072350.DF61C58C4C0A@chook.melbourne.sgi.com> Date: Mon, 01 Oct 2007 17:23:50 +1000 From: tes@....com (Tim Shimmin) To: torvalds@...ux-foundation.org Cc: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, xfs@....sgi.com, akpm@...ux-foundation.org Subject: [GIT PULL] XFS update for 2.6.23 - revert a commit Hi Linus, A problem has been found for the XFS commit b394e43e995d08821588a22561c6a71a63b4ff27 and it needs to be reverted. It has the potential for worse corruption than what it is meant to fix. Please pull from the for-linus branch: git pull git://oss.sgi.com:8090/xfs/xfs-2.6.git for-linus Lachlan's description: This fix is for a problem that has been in XFS since day one. [XFS] Avoid replaying inode buffer initialisation log items if on-disk version is newer. It tries to fix an issue where log replay is replaying an inode cluster initialisation transaction that should not be replayed because the inode cluster on disk is more up to date. Since we don't log file sizes (we rely on inode flushing to get them to disk) then we can't just replay all the transations in the log and expect the inode to be completely restored. We lose file size updates. Unfortunately this fix is causing more (serious) problems than it is fixing so please don't push this one back just yet. This will update the following files: fs/xfs/xfs_buf_item.h | 5 ---- fs/xfs/xfs_log_recover.c | 51 ++------------------------------------------- fs/xfs/xfs_trans_buf.c | 1 - 3 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 54 deletions(-) through these commits: commit 053c59a0a7234bac669992f5b8b933b7d7fc189d Author: Tim Shimmin <tes@...ok.melbourne.sgi.com> Date: Mon Oct 1 16:39:37 2007 +1000 Revert "[XFS] Avoid replaying inode buffer initialisation log items if on-disk version is newer."
