quota problems with e2fsck -p?

quota problems with e2fsck -p?

[Darrick J. Wong]

Hi everyone,

So I was test-driving my e2scrub patches the other night and saw this:

It looks like all we have to do trigger the QUOTA WARNING is enable
quota, write a file, unlink the file (without closing it), snapshot the
fs, and then run e2fsck -p followed by e2fsck -fn on the snapshot.

Note that first we run e2fsck to preen the filesystem, then we run it again to
see if it spots any corruption.  The first run finds two orphaned inodes and
zaps them, but because of -p it's a short run and we don't update the quota
information.  As a result, the second run triggers on the quota information
being wrong and the whole job fails.

The orphan inode processing occurs as part of check_super_block ->
release_orphan_inodes prior to pass 1, which means that we've not set up any
quota context nor read the quota data in from disk.  Given that we don't end
up checking the quota accounting at all in a preening run, I'm a little
hesitant to just plumb in code to fetch the quota info, update the info when
we recover orphans, and then write the quota info back out.  But that does
seem to be what this situation requires.

So, I punt to the list instead -- is that crazy?
