    ext4: correctly migrate a file with a hole at the beginning · 8974fec7
    Eryu Guan 提交于
    Currently ext4_ind_migrate() doesn't correctly handle a file which
    contains a hole at the beginning of the file.  This caused the migration
    to be done incorrectly, and then if there is a subsequent following
    delayed allocation write to the "hole", this would reclaim the same data
    blocks again and results in fs corruption.
    
      # assmuing 4k block size ext4, with delalloc enabled
      # skip the first block and write to the second block
      xfs_io -fc "pwrite 4k 4k" -c "fsync" /mnt/ext4/testfile
    
      # converting to indirect-mapped file, which would move the data blocks
      # to the beginning of the file, but extent status cache still marks
      # that region as a hole
      chattr -e /mnt/ext4/testfile
    
      # delayed allocation writes to the "hole", reclaim the same data block
      # again, results in i_blocks corruption
      xfs_io -c "pwrite 0 4k" /mnt/ext4/testfile
      umount /mnt/ext4
      e2fsck -nf /dev/sda6
      ...
      Inode 53, i_blocks is 16, should be 8.  Fix? no
