I've been using Steve Grubb's purely evil "fsfuzzer" tool, at
http://people.redhat.com/sgrubb/files/fsfuzzer-0.4.tar.gz
Basically it makes a filesystem, splats some random bits over it, then
tries to mount it and do some simple filesystem actions.
At best, the filesystem catches the corruption gracefully. At worst,
things spin out of control.
As you might guess, we found a couple places in ext4 where things spin out
of control :)
First, we had a corrupted directory that was never checked for
consistency... it was corrupt, and pointed to another bad "entry" of
length 0. The for() loop looped forever, since the length of
ext4_next_entry(de) was 0, and we kept looking at the same pointer over and
over and over and over... I modeled this check and subsequent action on
what is done for other directory types in ext4_readdir...
(adding this check adds some computational expense; I am testing a followup
patch to reduce the number of times we check and re-check these directory
entries, in all cases. Thanks for the idea, Andreas).
Next we had a root directory inode which had a corrupted size, claimed to
be > 200M on a 4M filesystem. There was only really 1 block in the
directory, but because the size was so large, readdir kept coming back for
more, spewing thousands of printk's along the way.
Per Andreas' suggestion, if we're in this read error condition and we're
trying to read an offset which is greater than i_blocks worth of bytes,
stop trying, and break out of the loop.
With these two changes fsfuzz test survives quite well on ext4.

Upon debugging I found that the restart_transaction was not releasing
the path if the th->refcount was > 1.
/*static*/
int restart_transaction(struct reiserfs_transaction_handle *th,
struct inode *inode, struct path *path)
{
[...]
/* we cannot restart while nested */
if (th->t_refcount > 1) { <<- Path is not released in this case!
return 0;
}
pathrelse(path); <<- Path released here.
[...]
This could happen in such a situation :
In reiserfs/inode.c: reiserfs_get_block() ::
if (repeat == NO_DISK_SPACE || repeat == QUOTA_EXCEEDED) {
/* restart the transaction to give the journal a chance to free
** some blocks. releases the path, so we have to go back to
** research if we succeed on the second try
*/
SB_JOURNAL(inode->i_sb)->j_next_async_flush = 1;
-->> retval = restart_transaction(th, inode, &path); <<--
We are supposed to release the path, no matter we succeed or fail. But
if the th->refcount is > 1, the path is still valid. And,
if (retval)
goto failure;
repeat =
_allocate_block(th, block, inode,
&allocated_block_nr, NULL, create);
If the above allocate_block fails with NO_DISK_SPACE or QUOTA_EXCEEDED,
we would have path which is not released.
if (repeat != NO_DISK_SPACE && repeat != QUOTA_EXCEEDED) {
goto research;
}
if (repeat == QUOTA_EXCEEDED)
retval = -EDQUOT;
else
retval = -ENOSPC;
goto failure;
[...]
failure:
[...]
reiserfs_check_path(&path); << Panics here !
Attached here is a patch which could fix the issue.
fix reiserfs/inode.c : restart_transaction() to release the path in all
cases.
The restart_transaction() doesn't release the path when the the journal
handle has a refcount > 1. This would trigger a reiserfs_panic() if we
encounter an -ENOSPC / -EDQUOT in reiserfs_get_block().

the target work is executed at least once after the scheduling regardless

I never intended this, but people started using fuse to implement block device
based "real" filesystems (ntfs-3g, zfs).
The following four patches add better support for these kinds of filesystems.
Unlike "normal" fuse filesystems, using this feature should require superuser
privileges (enforced by the fusermount utility).
Thanks to Szabolcs Szakacsits for the input and testing.

check_partition() stops its probe once it hits an I/O error from the
partition checkers. This would prevent the actual partition checker
getting a chance to verify the partition.
So this patch lets check_partition() continue probing untill it hits a
success while recording the I/O error which might have been reported by the
checking routines.
Also, it does some cleanup of the partition methods for ibm, atari and
amiga to return -1 upon hitting an I/O error.

The current rescan_partition implementation ignores the errors that comes from
the lower layer. It reports success for unknown partitions as well as I/O
error cases while reading the partition information.
The unknown partition is not (and will not be) considered as an error in the
kernel, since there are legal users of it (e.g, members of a RAID5 MD Device
or a new disk which is not partitioned at all ). Changing this behaviour
would scare the user about a serious problem with their disk and is not
recommended. Thus for both "unknown partitions" to the Linux (eg., DEC
VMS,Novell Netware) and the legal users of NULL partition, would still be
reported as "SUCCESS".
The patch attached here, scares the user about something which he does need to
worry about. i.e, returning -EIO on disk I/O errors while reading the
partition information.
