Subject: Scrub resume regression
Date: Wed, 15 Jan 2020 09:03:13 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <d0a97688-78be-08de-ca7d-bcb4c7fb397e@cobb.uk.net> (raw)

OK, I have bisected the problem with scrub resume being broken by the
scrub ioctl ABI being changed.

The bad commit is:

06fe39ab15a6a47d4979460fcc17d33b1d72ccf9 is the first bad commit

    Btrfs: do not overwrite scrub error with fault error in scrub ioctl

    If scrub returned an error and then the copy_to_user() call did not
    succeed, we would overwrite the error returned by scrub with -EFAULT.
    Fix that by calling copy_to_user() only if btrfs_scrub_dev() returned
    success.

It is important that scrub always returns the stats, even when it
returns an error. This is critical for cancel, as that is how
cancel/resume works, but it should also apply in case of other errors so
that the user can see how much of the scrub was done before the fatal error.

I am not sure in which kernel release this commit appeared but as this
breaks the "scrub resume" command completely, I think the fix for this
needs to be backported and may want to be considered by distro kernel
maintainers.

I will reply later with the simple reproducer program I created for the
bisection in case it is useful for testing.
