Subject: [PATCH v3 0/6] ntfs: report filesystem errors through fsnotify
Date: Thu, 24 Sep 2026 17:00:56 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260924090102.2865942-1-liubaolin12138@163.com> (raw)
From: Baolin Liu <liubaolin@kylinos.cn>
Report NTFS metadata and shutdown errors through the generic filesystem
error notification infrastructure. Use file-level events for errors
associated with an affected inode, and volume-level events for volume
metadata and shutdown errors. Preserve the volume error flags and report
failed recovery independently of the error that triggered it.
Report errors where they are detected and leave queued event merging to
fanotify. No error_reported state is carried through search contexts,
mapping-pairs updates or MFT mappings, so releasing a context cannot lose
that state or suppress a later rollback or restore failure.
Changes since v2:
- Follow Hyunchul Lee's suggestion to remove error_reported tracking and
the reporting-aware mapping APIs throughout the series.
- Report independent cluster, mapping-pairs, ATTRIBUTE_LIST and MFT
bitmap recovery failures while preserving the original operation errno.
- Base the series on ntfs-next at 401898d748fc ("ntfs: validate
attribute-list sizes before allocation"). Retain its MFT parent BIO
and folio writeback implementation. Report synchronous and asynchronous
device errors in the existing completion callback; fserror itself
defers notification work and holds the inode reference. No additional
NTFS completion workqueue or pending-I/O counter is introduced.
- Cover stale extent references, failed extent-record cleanup, mirror
failures and MFT preparation errors. Resolve attribute-inode reports
to their base inode and keep cluster-free counts in 64-bit variables.
- Split MFT reporting into two patches: metadata validation, allocation
and recovery in patch 4; write preparation, mirror and BIO completion
errors in patch 5. This keeps the two review topics separate.
Shutdown reporting is now patch 6.
Testing on this base:
- QEMU passed mount/read/write/fsync/truncate/xattr/rename/unlink, MFT
growth and unmount without FAN_FS_ERROR events during normal operation.
- Verified EIO with a valid FID for file MFT corruption, EUCLEAN without
a valid FID for an MFT bitmap mismatch, and ESHUTDOWN for forced
shutdown.
- Fault injection of an initial mapping-pairs error followed by an
independent restore failure produced a merged FAN_FS_ERROR event with
error_count=2. Synchronous and asynchronous MFT completion failures
also generated notifications. The injection code is test-only and is
excluded from the series.
Baolin Liu (6):
ntfs: report allocation metadata errors to fsnotify
ntfs: report attribute errors to fsnotify
ntfs: report inode metadata errors to fsnotify
ntfs: report MFT metadata and recovery errors to fsnotify
ntfs: report MFT writeback errors to fsnotify
ntfs: report shutdown errors to fsnotify
