[LU-13899] IOR data corruption detected during automated lnet fofb testing

• Type: Bug
• Resolution: Fixed
• Priority: Critical
• Fix Version/s: Lustre 2.14.0
• Severity: 3
• Assignee: Alexander Zarochentsev
• Reporter: Alexander Zarochentsev

Description

Seeing data corruption on two IOR jobs while running lnet failover test with " Regression write/verify DNE2 PFL". Both the failures showup data from immediate previous run. Likely cache related issue. fsync related warnings are also logged.

agreed

[Etienne Aujames]

Hello,
Is a backport planned for b2_12?

[Cory Spitz]

zam, shouldn't this data integrity issue carry a higher priority? I think we ought to target landing for 2.14.0.

Further debugging showed that
1. failed fsync() was due to a AS_EIO flag set for the address space, and 492 pages with PG_error flag set:

crash-7.2.8> kmem -p | grep ffff8803f2c10c50|awk '{print $7}'|sort|uniq -c

2. A debug patch gave us error code -ESTALE:

3. and finally, the -ESTALE comes from (process_req_last_xid):

It appears the -ESTALE is not handled properly at client.
