[LU-5716] Improve error handling on llog process

• Status: Open
• Project: Lustre
• Affects Version/s: Lustre 2.15.0
• Type: Bug
• Priority: Minor
• Reporter: Niu Yawei (Inactive)
• Assignee: WC Triage
• Resolution: Unresolved
• Severity: 3

Description

Current error handling in llog_process_thread() is dangerous:

if (unlikely(rc == -EIO && loghandle->lgh_obj != NULL)) {
		/* something bad happened to the processing of a local
		 * llog file, probably I/O error or the log got corrupted..
		 * to be able to finally release the log we discard any
		 * remaining bits in the header */
		CERROR("Local llog found corrupted\n");
		while (index <= last_index) {
			if (ext2_test_bit(index, llh->llh_bitmap) != 0)
				llog_cancel_rec(lpi->lpi_env, loghandle, index);
			index++;
		}
		rc = 0;
	}

It'll remove all records even if a process callback returns -EIO, that should be improved somehow, or at least we'd make sure no callbacks can return -EIO.
