    Description

      We're having an issue with our mds crashing. This is after recovering from a full md filesystem. We've been deleting from storage to free up metadata space, but have run into these kernel panics.

      dmesg logs have the following:

            [LU-8252] MDS kernel panic after aborting journal

            Daire, if you have a large number of links per file, then increasing the amount of space per inode would improve your space efficiency somewhat. Something like --mkfsoptions="-i 4608" would provide room for one external xattr block per file

            So it seems like this was eventually resolved (we have not had further issues), but I do have a related question.

            If we were to build this filesystem again, what would be the optimal inode size/ratio for performance considering we are likely to have 10+ hard links per file? Or does it not really matter and just ensuring we have more space available would be sufficient?

            I tried to create a two-level subdirectory test/test2 and then zeroed out the leaf block of test1 so that there was no entry pointing to test2 and also set the ".." entry of test2 to <2>, but this didn't show anything different. Another test with just changing ".." of the test3 subdirectory to <2> didn't cause the problem.

            I guess it is worthwhile to look into how directories are inserted into the parent directory list for e2fsck_dir_info_get_parent() to find. Something is preventing the 3040644673 inode from being found in the parent directory list.

            The problematic directory inode is 3040644673 as reported by e2fsck and hasn't been fixed after several runs:

            Dumping the directory block shows nothing completely broken, except that the parent entry ".." is inode <2>, which is the ext4 root inode that should never be used by Lustre directories, but shouldn't cause any problems for e2fsck:

            Even listing the directory shows nothing wrong with it except the ".." directory number:

             3040644673  (12) .    2  (4084) ..
            

            The code that is triggering is in e2fsck/pass2.c::check_dir_block(), where e2fsck_dir_info_get_parent() fails:

                                    if (e2fsck_dir_info_get_parent(ctx, dirent->inode,
                                                                   &subdir_parent)) {
                                            cd->pctx.ino = dirent->inode;
                                            fix_problem(ctx, PR_2_NO_DIRINFO, &cd->pctx);
                                            goto abort_free_dict;
                                    }
            

            after which e2fsck immediately aborts.

            I'll need to dig into the population of the dir_info list to see why it is choking on "2" as the parent, since every directory under the root "/" directory also has <2> as the parent. Maybe that is special-cased in the code? Another possibility isn't that the parent directory "2" is the problem, but rather that this directory is not connected anywhere? I'd think that would be handled by adding it to lost+found or similar. It may be possible to debug this by creating a test filesystem that is similarly corrupted (non-root, maybe disconnected directory with <2> as the parent) to see what it is that triggers e2fsck to be unhappy.

I'll need to dig into the population of the dir_info list to see why it is choking on "2" as the parent, since every directory under the root "/" directory also has <2> as the parent. Maybe that is special-cased in the code? Another possibility isn't that the parent directory "2" is the problem, but rather that this directory is not connected anywhere? I'd think that would be handled by adding it to lost+found or similar. It may be possible to debug this by creating a test filesystem that is similarly corrupted (non-root, maybe disconnected directory with <2> as the parent) to see what it is that triggers e2fsck to be unhappy.

            There were a couple of patches landed for 2.8.0 that make ldiskfs more robust in the face of similar corruption:

            The ext2fs_warn_bitmap() function is the source of the message Illegal inode number passed to ext2fs_test_inode_bitmap #0 for in-use inode map, but it turns out that this isn't the reason the e2fsck was aborted since in the first run this message appeared some time before e2fsck was aborted. That is caused by the later error Internal error: couldn't find dir_info for 3040644673, which was one of the inodes repaired in a previous run.

            The Internal error message did appear for a different inode the first time, so it does seem possible that e2fsck is still repairing these inodes in each run, but not as well as they should be, causing an abort each run.

            Look into e2fsck code, It is failed at:

            int ext2fs_test_inode_bitmap_range(ext2fs_inode_bitmap bitmap,
                                               ino_t inode, int num)
            {
                    EXT2_CHECK_MAGIC(bitmap, EXT2_ET_MAGIC_INODE_BITMAP);
                    if ((inode < bitmap->start) || (inode+num-1 > bitmap->real_end)) {
                            ext2fs_warn_bitmap(EXT2_ET_BAD_INODE_TEST,
                                               inode, bitmap->description);
                            return 0;

            }
            
            

            So looks like metadata is inconsistent. Maybe will passed after manual fixed.

            Looking into this issue, it appears that the MDT filesystem is becoming full because of the use of hard-link trees for backup. This results in each file having a large link xattr that spills into an external block, as well as multiple directories referencing each file.

            Inode count:              3079569408
            Free inodes:              2166646521  == 912922887 files used

            It would normally not be possible to have more than about 4500 bytes used per inode, even with the external xattr block, but the extra directory trees are consuming this space.

            A file taken at random has a link count of 10 and an external xattr block (the File ACL block):

            As for the e2fsck problem, I haven't been able to debug it yet because the problem takes several hours to hit. In the meantime, I've fixed the (first) problem that was causing the MDT to be remounted read-only:

            Jun  8 00:56:41 emds1 kernel: LDISKFS-fs error (device md0): ldiskfs_mb_check_on
            disk_bitmap: on-disk bitmap for group 0 corrupted: 57 blocks free in bitmap, 6 in gd

            Jun  8 00:56:41 emds1 kernel: LDISKFS-fs (md0): Remounting filesystem read-only
            

            I manually marked all of the blocks in group 0 used, and changed the group summary to match, as well as recomputed the block group checksum, which is the safest workaround given that I don't know which block(s) are actually in use, or which of those values is correct. It isn't clear if there are more errors like this, but I verified the next few groups had consistent block counts in the bitmap and group descriptors.

            There is an e2fsck read-only check running under GDB to hopefully be able to debug the problem, but it will take about 8h to hit the point of the prior corruption.

            We can get that in place. We're actually in Vancouver so Pacific hours. I'll set up some SSH and get back to you. Do you have an incoming IP I can restrict this to?

            Please mail me on sfw@dneg.com - Thanks.
