From aa9509209c5ac2f0b35d01a922bf9ae072d0c2fc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mikulas Patocka Date: Wed, 8 Jan 2020 10:46:05 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] dm writecache: fix incorrect flush sequence when doing SSD mode commit When committing state, the function writecache_flush does the following: 1. write metadata (writecache_commit_flushed) 2. flush disk cache (writecache_commit_flushed) 3. wait for data writes to complete (writecache_wait_for_ios) 4. increase superblock seq_count 5. write the superblock 6. flush disk cache It may happen that at step 3, when we wait for some write to finish, the disk may report the write as finished, but the write only hit the disk cache and it is not yet stored in persistent storage. At step 5 we write the superblock - it may happen that the superblock is written before the write that we waited for in step 3. If the machine crashes, it may result in incorrect data being returned after reboot. In order to fix the bug, we must swap steps 2 and 3 in the above sequence, so that we first wait for writes to complete and then flush the disk cache.
