From 68d05693f8c031257a0822464366e1c2a239a512 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chao Yu chao@kernel.org Date: Wed, 5 Nov 2025 14:50:23 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] f2fs: fix to detect recoverable inode during dryrun of find_fsync_dnodes()
mkfs.f2fs -f /dev/vdd mount /dev/vdd /mnt/f2fs touch /mnt/f2fs/foo sync # avoid CP_UMOUNT_FLAG in last f2fs_checkpoint.ckpt_flags touch /mnt/f2fs/bar f2fs_io fsync /mnt/f2fs/bar f2fs_io shutdown 2 /mnt/f2fs umount /mnt/f2fs blockdev --setro /dev/vdd mount /dev/vdd /mnt/f2fs mount: /mnt/f2fs: WARNING: source write-protected, mounted read-only.
For the case if we create and fsync a new inode before sudden power-cut, without norecovery or disable_roll_forward mount option, the following mount will succeed w/o recovering last fsynced inode.
The problem here is that we only check inode_list list after find_fsync_dnodes() in f2fs_recover_fsync_data() to find out whether there is recoverable data in the iamge, but there is a missed case, if last fsynced inode is not existing in last checkpoint, then, we will fail to get its inode due to nat of inode node is not existing in last checkpoint, so the inode won't be linked in inode_list.
Let's detect such case in dyrun mode to fix this issue.
After this change, mount will fail as expected below: mount: /mnt/f2fs: cannot mount /dev/vdd read-only. dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call. demsg: F2FS-fs (vdd): Need to recover fsync data, but write access unavailable, please try mount w/ disable_roll_forward or norecovery
