After an online repair, we need to invalidate buffers representing the blocks from the old metadata that we're replacing. It's possible that parts of a tree that were previously cached in memory are no longer accessible due to media failure or other corruption on interior nodes, so repair figures out the old blocks from the reverse mapping data and scans the buffer cache directly. In other words, online fsck needs to find all the live (i.e. non-stale) buffers for a range of fsblocks so that it can invalidate them. Unfortunately, the current buffer cache code triggers asserts if the rhashtable lookup finds a non-stale buffer of a different length than the key we searched for. For regular operation this is desirable, but for this repair procedure, we don't care since we're going to forcibly stale the buffer anyway. Add an internal lookup flag to avoid the assert. Skip buffers that are already XBF_STALE. Signed-off-by: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com>
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 Restructured Text 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.
