Hi Lachlan,
I would prefer manual assignment here than struct assignment. r[1].br_startoff and r[1].br_blockcount will be modified immediately, so it is not worth assigning via ( r[1] = PREV) as it does extra instructions. Compiler would most likely eliminate the extra assignment but, why to leave on the wit of the compiler.

It should be like
r[1].br_state = PREV.br_state;
r[1].br_startblock = 0 ; /* No fancy stuff required here as the aim here is that br_startoff does not get any thing random */

Regards,
Shailendra

This should be all that's needed. This code handles the case where the middle portion of a delayed allocation is being converted and splits the extent into three. The r[1] extent is the rightmost extent that will remain a delayed allocation. Both br_startblock and br_state need to be setup and they will be the same as the original delayed allocation (PREV) so we just inherit those
values.  Comments?

Hi,
It appears that uninitialized r[3] in xfs_bmap_add_extent_delay_real can potentially corrupt the startoff for a particular case.

This sequence is below:

       xfs_bmap_add_extent_delay_real (
       ...
       xfs_bmbt_irec_t         r[3];   /* neighbor extent entries */

case 0:
         /*
* Filling in the middle part of a previous delayed allocation.
          * Contiguity is impossible here.
          * This case is avoided almost all the time.
          */
temp = new->br_startoff - PREV.br_startoff;
xfs_bmbt_set_blockcount(ep, temp);
r[0] = *new;
r[1].br_startoff = new_endoff;
temp2 = PREV.br_startoff + PREV.br_blockcount - new_endoff;
r[1].br_blockcount = temp2;
xfs_bmap_insert_exlist(ip, idx + 1, 2, &r[0], XFS_DATA_FORK);
ip->i_df.if_lastex = idx + 1;
ip->i_d.di_nextents++;

Look at extent r[1]. It does not set br_startblock. That is, it is any random value. Now, look at the xfs_bmbt_set_all. Though, it sets the blockcount later, the startoff does not get changed.

#if XFS_BIG_BLKNOS
        ASSERT((s->br_startblock & XFS_MASK64HI(12)) == 0);
        r->l0 = ((xfs_bmbt_rec_base_t)extent_flag << 63) |
                 ((xfs_bmbt_rec_base_t)s->br_startoff << 9) |
                 ((xfs_bmbt_rec_base_t)s->br_startblock >> 43);
Top 21 bits are taken as it is. However, only 9 bit should be taken. So, for random values, it corrupts the startoff which from 9-63 bits.

From the code inspection I agree with you that br_startblock doesn't appear to be initialized in this scenario. Otherwise I think the code looks good.
If the br_startblock is initialized  it should be a value that fits
in 52 bits out of 64 (this is what the ASSERT is for) and the top 12 bits will be 0. The r->l0 gets the top 21 bits of br_startblock, the most significant 12 bits of
which are 0 and least significant 9 could be non 0. The r->l1 gets the
rest 43 (= 52-9 = 64-21) bits of br_startblock.

I will open a bug report for the uninitialized br_startblock.

Thank you for finding this problem.

Vlad


        r->l1 = ((xfs_bmbt_rec_base_t)s->br_startblock << 21) |
                 ((xfs_bmbt_rec_base_t)s->br_blockcount &
                 (xfs_bmbt_rec_base_t)XFS_MASK64LO(21));

I have attached a small program which does the same thing as it is being done here. I would appreciate if someone can verify that assertion is correct.
