Hi Eric,

Regarding the F8 corruption... I have a pretty narrow testcase
now, and it turns out this was a bit of a perfect storm.
First, F8 shipped 2.6.23 which had the problem with sb_features2
padding out on 64-bit boxes, but this was ok because userspace
and kernelspace both did this, and it was properly mounting &
running as attr2.
However, hch came along in 2.6.24 and did some endian annotation
for the superblock and in the process:
A new helper xfs_sb_from_disk handles the other (read)
direction and doesn't need the slightly hacky table-driven approach
because we only ever read the full sb from disk.
However, this resulted in kernelspace behaving differently,
and now *missing* the attr2 flag in sb_features2, (actually
sb_bad_features2) so we mounted as if we had attr1. Which
is really supposed to be ok, IIRC,
Yes, I remember Nathan saying that too ;-)
except in
xfs_attr_shortform_bytesfit we return the default
fork offset value from the superblock, even if di_forkoff
is *already* set. In the error case I had, di_forkoff was set
to 15 (from previously being attr2...) but we returned 14
(the mp default) and I think this is where things started
going wrong; I think this caused us to write an attr on top
of the extent data.
My understanding of this is that if di_forkoff is non-zero,
we should always be using it for space calculations, regardless
of whether we are mounted with attr2 or not...
That was my understanding as well.
I'll have a look at the code soon and see if I can
see any problems with the change and the consistency
of it all.
Thanks a bunch,
Tim.
and with that, how's this look, to be honest I haven't run it
through QA yet...
I'm not certain if xfs_bmap_compute_maxlevels() may lead
to similar problems....
------------------
always use di_forkoff for when checking for attr space
In the case where we mount a filesystem which was previously
using the attr2 format as attr1, returning the default
mp->m_attroffset instead of the per-inode di_forkoff for
inline attribute fit calculations may result in corruption,
if the existing "attr2" formatted attribute is already taking
more space than the default.
