Hi all,
I am sometimes seeing issues when using ext4write where fsck later complains
that the group descriptor has an invalid number of unused inodes. Is this a
known problem?
Also, I think the assert(offset == sizeof(*desc)); in ext4fs_checksum_update()
is invalid since with ext4 the descriptor is larger than the offset. When
debugging was enabled I'd always hit this assert.
Also, in ext4fs_write, the debug statement should say blocks and not bytes.

Hi all,
It looks like after a certain amount of data has been written that all hell
breaks loose with the ext4 filesystem.
In my case, I have the following files on a 64G USB thumb drive with two
partitions, a small FAT partition with the rest of the space dedicated to ext4
created using mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdg2
total 477632
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 152777216 Jul 23 18:11 Image
drwx------ 2 root root 16384 Jul 23 18:10 lost+found
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 90706976 Dec 31 1969 test.64
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 152777216 Dec 31 1969 test.img
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 50 Dec 31 1969 test.txt
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1841408 Jul 23 18:12 u-boot-octeon_ebb7304.bin
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 90706976 Jul 23 18:11 vmlinux.64
Everything is fine until I wrote the file test.64, which is basically a copy
of vmlinux.64.
The first few files were written using my host Linux system, namely Image, u-
boot-octeon_ebb7304.bin and vmlinux.64.
From within U-Boot I performed the following commands:
# ext4load usb 0:2 $loadaddr Image
# ext4write usb 0:2 $fileaddr /test.img $filesize
# tftpboot $loadaddr test.txt
# ext4write usb 0:2 $fileaddr /test.txt $filesize
# ext4load usb 0:2 $loadaddr vmlinux.64
# ext4write usb 0:2 $fileaddr /test.64 $filesize
Everything is fine on the drive until I write test.64. At this point, I get a
huge list of errors:
# fsck.ext4 -v -n /dev/sdg2
e2fsck 1.42.11 (09-Jul-2014)
Group descriptor 0 has invalid unused inodes count 57374. Fix? no
/dev/sdg2 contains a file system with errors, check forced.
Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes
Deleted inode 130913 has zero dtime. Fix? no
Inode 130915 is in use, but has dtime set. Fix? no
Inode 130915 has imagic flag set. Clear? no
Inode 130915 has a extra size (8223) which is invalid
Fix? no
Inode 130916 is in use, but has dtime set. Fix? no
Inode 130916 has imagic flag set. Clear? no
Inode 130916 has a extra size (8223) which is invalid
Fix? no
...
Illegal block #11 (2435760161) in inode 131070. IGNORED.
Illegal indirect block (4026556192) in inode 131070. IGNORED.
Illegal double indirect block (2433138721) in inode 131070. IGNORED.
Illegal triple indirect block (2434195456) in inode 131070. IGNORED.
Error while iterating over blocks in inode 131070: Illegal triply indirect
block found
and many many more errors.
Note that I am using the very latest ext4 code from the master branch. This
is not a USB problem because I can reproduce this problem with an SD card.
This problem also occurs on two different platforms, one being aarch64 little
endian and the other being MIPS64 big endian. The filesystem code is
identical since the latest code has been backported to our older MIPS
bootloader.
My guess is that all hell is breaking loose when a file spans multiple block
groups.

I maintain. I am using the 2018.07 release with only a few minor changes
around the periphery to support the older version of U-Boot Octeon is based
off of. I found one source of the corruption in ext4fs_get_new_inode_no()
where it is setting bgd->bg_itable_unused without cpu_to_le16, which causes
this to break on big-endian systems. Additionally, for 64-bit filesystems,
bg_itable_unused_high never gets set.
The biggest issue is the lack of cpu_to_le16() which causes incorrect data to
be written into the block group descriptor.
This is easy to see in the code and easy to replicate on a big-endian
platform.
I also saw some corruption occurring on our OcteonTX platform which is based
off of 2018.07 with minimal changes to U-Boot, though I need to investigate
this more.
Unrelated to this, one other thing to note is that I noticed that U-Boot does
not use extents when writing large files and is very slow. I think fixing this
would be a major project, though.

Just out of interest is there any particular barrier to Octeon support
landing upstream? At $dayjob we have 4 platforms using various Octeon
III processors. We're in the position of being stuck on an older
version of u-boot because we can't bring support for our boards up to
date without having to bring all the Octeon SoC support forward as
well. Is there any interest from Cavium to get Octeon upstreamed?

So when you know the/one cause of the problems, and how to fix it,
then why don't you submit a patch?

To: u-boot
The Octeon version of U-Boot is based off an older versin of U-Boot (2012.07)
with a lot of features backported. For example, I have backported NVME support
as well as the latest filesystem code. Since there have been significant
changes to U-Boot (i.e. 64-bit support) that were missing at the time it would
be a massive undertaking to support the current U-Boot with Octeon or to push
the Octeon support upstream. While in general the changes to the core U-Boot
were fairly minimal for Octeon, there were significant changes to board.c.
Hopefully we can get OcteonTX pushed upstream, however, since we are tracking
the current U-Boot releases. I'm not sure how to go about doing this, since I
would basically need a branch that I can maintain.
No significant new work is planned for the Octeon SDK or bootloader, however,
other than maintenance releases or adding features as needed by customers.
Although the Octeon code makes extensive use of the device tree, it does not
follow the dm model since that was not available when the U-Boot work took
place.
The way the Linux kernel and simple executive applications are started is also
unique to Octeon since multi-core support was also not present. This code is
complex due to the way it has evolved while trying to maintain backwards
compatibility.
Another potential barrier to upstreaming Octeon support is the fact that it
makes heavy use of our rather large SDK and the sheer amount of code. A quick
check with wc shows that we have around a million lines of code involved under
arch/mips/cpu/octeon, arch/mips/include/asm/arch-octeon and board/octeon/
common. This doesn't include the various drivers, either, or our custom
board.c file needed for the required flexibility. Around 434Klocs are the
hardware register definition files, which admittedly are huge due to the
autogenerated nature of them and all the comments and big/little endian
support. These files are shared by U-Boot, the Linux kernel and simple-
executive applications.
Some of the SDK and common board code is a mess since it tries to avoid
changes to the core of U-Boot. The networking and QLM configuration code is a
bit of a mess since it has evolved over many years. I'm sorry to say that the
SFP/QSFP code I recently added just makes it worse due to the way it ties in
phy support. There's duplication of code between U-Boot and our SDK in the
networking code, especially for things like phy link support. Some phys also
just don't map cleanly into the U-Boot (or Linux for that matter) model. Inphi
(Cortina) and the Microsemi (Vitesse) in particular do not map into the one
phy per MAC model and all hell breaks loose with QSFPs where multiple MACs
share a phy or one MAC is split between multiple phys.
We also have implemented hooks in a number of key places that are missing in
standard U-Boot. For example, we use a hook in the serial driver for a number
of boards to poll the SFP/QSFP ports to detect when a module is plugged in or
unplugged and to update activity LEDs.
We have also implemented something similar to native application support so
that simple-executive applications can make calls into U-Boot via a context
switching mechanism. This is used for filesystem access as well as some phy
operations with our 25G Liquid I/O boards.
We also run U-Boot in KSEG2 rather than KSEG0 so that U-Boot is always mapped
to the same virtual address regardless of where it is loaded in physical
memory. We do this for several reasons. First of all, it eliminates the need
to perform relocation fixups. Second of all, this frees up the lower 2GB of
memory space which can be a tight resource with a number of customers. While
we compile it as n32, it could conceivably be compiled as n64 but continue to
run in kseg2. n64 mode would simplify things by allowing the removal of using
cvmx_read_csr/cvmx_write_csr to instead use readq/writeq. The mapping between
virtual and physical addresses in our drivers would need to remain since there
is no IOMMU.
The code for bringing multiple cores out of reset and starting SE and the
Linux kernel would be tricky to port. There is a fair amount of assembly code
I've maintained on Octeon in order to do this.
Some of the fixes could also be pushed upstream, such as endian fixes we have
made in the USB and ext4 code.
Right now the main limitation to doing this is I'm pretty much the only one
maintaining Octeon support for U-Boot across all of our boards as well as
working on support for OcteonTX and OcteonTX2. A number of OcteonTX drivers
could easily be modified to work with Octeon, such as SPI, eMMC, NAND, i2c,
etc. The main difference in many cases is the fact that OcteonTX represents
devices as PCI devices (in addition to the device tree), whereas on Octeon
they are directly accessible and are only represented in the device tree.
There are huge differences, however, between OcteonTX and Octeon. With
OcteonTX, the memory and device tree are prepared by the BDK and ATF before U-
Boot is started. On Octeon, often U-Boot is the first thing that is loaded or
it is loaded by a simple SPI or eMMC bootloader and U-Boot is responsible for
memory initialization and a lot of other things.

What help exactly do you need here? We already do see partners shipping
with random downstream versions of U-Boot on Octeon TX and every time I
see them missing out on amazing efi_loader fixes, a tiny fraction of my
heart dies :).
So I would really like to see Octeon TX support simply developed fully
upstream. That way your partners (and again their downstreams) can base
on upstream U-Boot versions and are not tied to particular older
versions that may be lacking features or bug fixes.
Thanks,
Alex

I maintain U-Boot for Octeon TX platforms at Cavium, which is based on
v2018.01 currently
and also tracking future releases.
efi loader support could be added but lacks customer use case as of now.
Upstream effort, atleast, for OcteonTX may kick off soon.

Just because the message didn't get to you doesn't mean no customer has
a use case for it :). In a lot of cases people do a list of options
first and then evaluate.
SLES for example will require either SBBR or EBBR compliance for target
platforms. Fair enough, we're a partner and not a customer. Given the
stressed notion security (and that means updates and timely fixes for
known vulnerabilities) is getting across the whole market thanks to
Spectre, I'm fairly confident you'll see more requests coming in sooner
rather than later. We already see heavily increased interest on SLES in
industrial embedded today.

That's great to hear! I'll be happy to help out in whatever way I can
(and time permits).
