Yes, please error out, as a start. Requesting this was on my btrfs-to-do list. A device generation mismatch from a drive going offline until forced reboot was what ultimately sent me on the path of problems I had. Had parent transid errors, which I realized was due to this, and decided to replace the outdated lvm partition with a new one.

Yes, for fs without any nodatasum usage, the behavior is indeed overkilled. But sometimes such overkilled sanity check is really important, as long as nodatasum is a provided feature. > > We currently don't have selective scrub yet so resyncing such single-copy > extents is costly, but 1. all will be fine if the data is read, 2. it's > possible to add such a smart resync in the future, far better than a > write-intent bitmap can do. Well, auto scrub for a device looks not that bad to me. Since normally scrub is scheduled as normal maintenance work, it should not be a super expensive work. We only need to teach btrfs to treat such device as kind of degraded. Then we can reuse most of the scrub routine to fix it. > > To do the latter, we can note the last generation the filesystem was known > to be fully coherent (ie, all devices were successfully flushed with no > mysterious write failures), then run selective scrub (perhaps even > automatically) when the filesystem is no longer degraded.

Yep, exactly my understanding of nodatasum behavior. However in real world, btrfs is the only *linux* fs supports data csum, and the most widely used fs like ext4 xfs doesn't support data csum. As the discussion about the behavior goes, I find that LVM/mdraid + ext4/xfs could do better device missing management than btrfs nodatasum, this means we need to at least do something that LVM/mdraid could provide. > > If you're paranoid, perhaps some bit "this filesystem has some nodatacow > data on it" could warrant such a block, but it would still need to be > overridable _without_ a need for replace.

In the case of a dropped device with write failures, when you *know* the data supposedly written to the disk is bad, re-synching from believed good copy (so long as it passes checksum verification, of course), is the only way to be certain that the data is good. Otherwise, you can be left with a Schroedinger's bit somewhere, (It's not 0 or 1, but both, depending on which device the filesystem is reading from at the time.) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

Uhm, that'd be a nasty regression for the regular (no-nodatacow) case. The vast majority of data is fine, and extents that have been written to while a device is missing will be either placed elsewhere (if the filesystem knew it was degraded) or read one of the copies to notice a wrong checksum and automatically recover (if the device was still falsely believed to be good at write time). We currently don't have selective scrub yet so resyncing such single-copy extents is costly, but 1. all will be fine if the data is read, 2. it's possible to add such a smart resync in the future, far better than a write-intent bitmap can do. To do the latter, we can note the last generation the filesystem was known to be fully coherent (ie, all devices were successfully flushed with no mysterious write failures), then run selective scrub (perhaps even automatically) when the filesystem is no longer degraded. There's some extra complexity with 3- or 4-way RAID (multiple levels of degradation) but a single number would help even there. But even currently, without the above not-yet-written recovery, it's reasonably safe to continue without scrub -- it's a case of running partially degraded when the bad copy is already known to be suspicious. For no-nodatacow data and metadata, that is. > Currently there is no automatic rebuild yet, which means if users find > device generation mismatch error message, they can only mount the fs > using "device" and "degraded" mount option (if possible), then replace > the offending device to manually "rebuild" the fs. As nodatacow already means "I don't care about this data, or have another way of recovering it", I don't quite get why we would drop existing auto-recovery for a common transient failure case. If you're paranoid, perhaps some bit "this filesystem has some nodatacow data on it" could warrant such a block, but it would still need to be overridable _without_ a need for replace. There's also the problem that systemd marks its journal nodatacow (despite it having infamously bad handling of failures!), and too many distributions infect their default installs with systemd, meaning such a bit would be on in most cases. But why would I put all my other data at risk, just because there's a nodatacow file? There's a big difference between scrubbing when only a few transactions worth of data is suspicious and completely throwing away a mostly-good replica to replace it from the now fully degraded copy. > I totally understand that, generation based solution can't handle > split-brain case (where 2 RAID1 devices get mounted degraded separately) > at all, but at least let's handle what we can do.

I wonder if there's some way to treat problematic nodatacow files as degraded only?

Also CC Anand Jain, since he is also working on various device related work, and an expert on this. Especially I'm not pretty sure if such enhancement is already on his agenda or there are already some unmerged patch for this.

I've been bitten by this before and was most surprised the first time it happened. I had assumed that of course btrfs would check such a thing before mounting. Refusing to mount is a great first step, auto scrub is even better, and only "scrubbing" files with incorrect generation is better yet. Paul.

[PATCH RFC] btrfs: Do extra device generation check at mount time
There is a reporter considering btrfs raid1 has a major design flaw which can't handle nodatasum files. Despite his incorrect expectation, btrfs indeed doesn't handle device generation mismatch well. This means if one devices missed and re-appeared, even its generation no longer matches with the rest device pool, btrfs does nothing to it, but treat it as normal good device. At least let's detect such generation mismatch and avoid mounting the fs. Currently there is no automatic rebuild yet, which means if users find device generation mismatch error message, they can only mount the fs using "device" and "degraded" mount option (if possible), then replace the offending device to manually "rebuild" the fs. Signed-off-by: Qu Wenruo --- I totally understand that, generation based solution can't handle split-brain case (where 2 RAID1 devices get mounted degraded separately) at all, but at least let's handle what we can do. The best way to solve the problem is to make btrfs treat such lower gen devices as some kind of missing device, and queue an automatic scrub for that device. But that's a lot of extra work, at least let's start from detecting such problem first. --- fs/btrfs/volumes.c | 50 ++ 1 file changed, 50 insertions(+) diff --git a/fs/btrfs/volumes.c b/fs/btrfs/volumes.c index e034ad9e23b4..80a7c44993bc 100644 --- a/fs/btrfs/volumes.c +++ b/fs/btrfs/volumes.c @@ -6467,6 +6467,49 @@ static void btrfs_report_missing_device(struct btrfs_fs_info *fs_info, devid, uuid); } +static int verify_devices_generation(struct btrfs_fs_info *fs_info, +struct btrfs_device *dev) +{ + struct btrfs_fs_devices *fs_devices = dev->fs_devices; + struct btrfs_device *cur; + bool warn_only = false; + int ret = 0; + + if (!fs_devices || fs_devices->seeding || !dev->generation) + return 0; + + /* +* If we're not replaying log, we're completely safe to allow +* generation mismatch as it won't write anything to disks, nor +* remount to rw. +*/ + if (btrfs_test_opt(fs_info, NOLOGREPLAY)) + warn_only = true; + + rcu_read_lock(); + list_for_each_entry_rcu(cur, &fs_devices->devices, dev_list) { + if (cur->generation && cur->generation != dev->generation) { + if (warn_only) { + btrfs_warn_rl_in_rcu(fs_info, + "devid %llu has unexpected generation, has %llu expected %llu", +dev->devid, +dev->generation, +cur->generation); + } else { + btrfs_err_rl_in_rcu(fs_info, + "devid %llu has unexpected generation, has %llu expected %llu", +dev->devid, +dev->generation, +cur->generation); + ret = -EINVAL; + break; + } + } + } + rcu_read_unlock(); + return ret; +} + static int read_one_chunk(struct btrfs_fs_info *fs_info, struct btrfs_key *key, struct extent_buffer *leaf, struct btrfs_chunk *chunk) @@ -6552,6 +6595,13 @@ static int read_one_chunk(struct btrfs_fs_info *fs_info, struct btrfs_key *key, return PTR_ERR(map->stripes[i].dev); } btrfs_report_missing_device(fs_info, devid, uuid, false); + } else { + ret = verify_devices_generation(fs_info, + map->stripes[i].dev); + if (ret < 0) { + free_extent_map(em); + return ret; + } } set_bit(BTRFS_DEV_STATE_IN_FS_METADATA, &(map->stripes[i].dev->dev_state)); -- 2.18.0 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
