When powercut happens after deleting file, the xattr inode could be alone existing in TNC but its' xattr entry cannot be found in TNC. File inode and xattr inode are added into orphan list after deleting file, file inode's nlink is 0 but xattr inode's nlink is not 0 (PS: zero nlink xattr inode is written on disk in evicting process by ubifs_jnl_write_inode). So, following process could happen: 1. touch file 2. setxattr(file) 3. unlink file // inode(nlink=0), xattr inode(nlink=1) are added into orphan list 4. commit // write inode inum and xattr inum into orphan area 5. powercut 6. mount do_kill_orphans // inode(nlink=0) is deleted from TNC by ubifs_tnc_remove_range, // xattr entry is deleted too. // xattr inode(nlink=1) is not deleted from TNC Finally we could see following error while debugging UBIFS: UBIFS error (ubi0:0 pid 1093): dbg_check_filesystem [ubifs]: inode 66 nlink is 1, but calculated nlink is 0 UBIFS (ubi0:0): dump of the inode 66 sitting in LEB 12:2128 node_type 0 (inode node) group_type 1 (in node group) len 197 key (66, inode) size 37 nlink 1 flags 0x20 xattr_cnt 0 xattr_size 0 xattr_names 0 data len 37 Fix it by removing entire inode with it's xattrs while replaying orphan, just replace function ubifs_tnc_remove_range by ubifs_tnc_remove_ino.

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 reStructuredText 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.
