Subject: [Devel] [PATCH hci-8.1 v9 09/10] dm-qcow2: flag the image for check after a reverted L1/L2 writeback
Date: Wed, 28 Oct 2026 16:06:44 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261028150645.3222391-10-alexander.ivanov@virtuozzo.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261028150645.3222391-1-alexander.ivanov@virtuozzo.com>
A failed L1/L2 writeback reverts the page in memory and drops the
refcount of each cluster allocated for it back to zero. The write may
still have partially reached the disk, so L1/L2 on disk may point to
such a cluster. If the page is not rewritten before suspend, the image
is left with a reference to a free cluster, which may also have been
reused for another offset meanwhile. Nothing reports that: L1/L2
writeback errors don't set MD_WRITEBACK_ERROR, as the revert is
considered safe.
Mark such a page with MD_LX_REVERTED and clear the mark on its next
successful writeback, which rewrites the whole page, e.g. when a
request delayed on ENOSPC is resubmitted. On md writeback flush a still
marked page sets a new lx_writeback_error flag, which is reported in
get_errors and included in wants_check, so resume is refused until the
image is checked and the target reloaded. The flush loop no longer
stops at the first page with MD_WRITEBACK_ERROR, so a marked page after
it is not missed.
