Subject: Re: spontaneous crash with "ext4: move ext4 bmap to use iomap
 infrastructure"

Hello Qian,

Thanks for reporting it. By any chance is it your custom kernel.
Any more details on the reproducer & your setup pls.

 From above two lines this looks like some NULL function ptr was called.
That's why NIP is 0x0.

But LR shown is ext4_iomap_end(). Now, There is nothing in
ext4_iomap_end() which could cause this. It should just simply return
0 in case of iomap_bmap(). In that function (shown below) flags argument
is 0.

<Code snip>
============
static int ext4_iomap_end(struct inode *inode, loff_t offset, loff_t length,
			  ssize_t written, unsigned flags, struct iomap *iomap)
{
	/*
	 * Check to see whether an error occurred while writing out the data to
	 * the allocated blocks. If so, return the magic error code so that we
	 * fallback to buffered I/O and attempt to complete the remainder of
	 * the I/O. Any blocks that may have been allocated in preparation for
	 * the direct I/O will be reused during buffered I/O.
	 */
	if (flags & (IOMAP_WRITE | IOMAP_DIRECT) && written == 0)
		return -ENOTBLK;

	return 0;	 // ==> should simply return from here.
}

<Tried on my setup>
====================
I did try to mount/unmount on my setup with loop0 and mounting ext3
filesystem using ext4 subsystem. It's working fine as expected.
Here are the tracing logs. Couldn't see any crash.

Others,
Any clue here?


After this I am definitely setting up full LTP suite too at my end.
I mostly was using xfstests for my testing.
