xfs_repair: junk leaf attribute if count == 0
We have recently seen a case where, during log replay, the
attr3 leaf verifier reported corruption when encountering a
leaf attribute with a count of 0 in the header.
We chalked this up to a transient state when a shortform leaf
was created, the attribute didn't fit, and we promoted the
(empty) attribute to the larger leaf form.
I've recently been given a metadump of unknown provenance which actually
contains a leaf attribute with count 0 on disk. This causes the
verifier to fire every time xfs_repair is run:
Metadata corruption detected at xfs_attr3_leaf block 0x480988/0x1000
If this 0-count state is detected, we should just junk the leaf, same
as we would do if the count was too high. With this change, we now
remedy the problem:
Metadata corruption detected at xfs_attr3_leaf block 0x480988/0x1000
bad attribute count 0 in attr block 0, inode
12587828
problem with attribute contents in inode
12587828
clearing inode
12587828 attributes
correcting nblocks for inode
12587828, was 2 - counted 1
