From: Ilya Dryomov idryomov@gmail.com Date: Thu, 9 Aug 2018 12:38:28 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] dm cache metadata: set dirty on all cache blocks after a crash
Quoting Documentation/device-mapper/cache.txt:
The 'dirty' state for a cache block changes far too frequently for us to keep updating it on the fly. So we treat it as a hint. In normal operation it will be written when the dm device is suspended. If the system crashes all cache blocks will be assumed dirty when restarted.
This got broken in commit f177940a8091 ("dm cache metadata: switch to using the new cursor api for loading metadata") in 4.9, which removed the code that consulted cmd->clean_when_opened (CLEAN_SHUTDOWN on-disk flag) when loading cache blocks. This results in data corruption on an unclean shutdown with dirty cache blocks on the fast device. After the crash those blocks are considered clean and may get evicted from the cache at any time. This can be demonstrated by doing a lot of reads to trigger individual evictions, but uncache is more predictable:
### Disable auto-activation in lvm.conf to be able to do uncache in ### time (i.e. see uncache doing flushing) when the fix is applied.

This is the case with both v1 and v2 cache pool metatata formats.
