Because of the disk and hardware issue, the ext4 filesystem have many errors, the inode->i_nlink of ext4 becomes zero abnormally but the dentry is still positive, it will cause memory corruption after the following process: 1) Due to the inode->i_nlink is 0, this inode will be added into the orhpan list,quoted
+ if (WARN(inode->i_nlink == 0, "inode %lu nlink" + " is already 0", inode->i_ino))Can we get the filesystem? Or at least the device major/minor? If a system has multiple large ext4 filesystems, it would be helpful to know which one is having the problem.if (WARN(inode->i_nlink == 0, - "inode %lu nlink is already 0", inode->i_ino)) + "inode %lu nlink is already 0, dev=%u:%u", + inode->i_ino, MAJOR(inode->i_sb->s_dev), MINOR(inode->i_sb->s_dev))) return; We can modify as above, it's enough to know which filesystem is having the problem, what do you think?
Why not:
if (inode->i_nlink == 0) {
ext4_warning_inode(inode, "nlink is already 0");
return;
}
?
