From f477af0cfa0487eddec66ffe10fd9df628ba6f52 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Darrick J. Wong" Date: Tue, 21 Oct 2025 11:30:43 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] xfs: fix locking in xchk_nlinks_collect_dir On a filesystem with parent pointers, xchk_nlinks_collect_dir walks both the directory entries (data fork) and the parent pointers (attr fork) to determine the correct link count. Unfortunately I forgot to update the lock mode logic to handle the case of a directory whose attr fork is in btree format and has not yet been loaded *and* whose data fork doesn't need loading. This leads to a bunch of assertions from xfs/286 in xfs_iread_extents because we only took ILOCK_SHARED, not ILOCK_EXCL. You'd need the rare happenstance of a directory with a large number of non-pptr extended attributes set and enough memory pressure to cause the directory to be evicted and partially reloaded from disk. I /think/ this only started in 6.18-rc1 because I've started seeing OOM errors with the maple tree slab using 70% of memory, and this didn't happen in 6.17. Yay dynamic systems!
