Subject: [PATCH] f2fs: zone: fix to don't fail to grab GC target block on zoned device
Date: Mon, 19 Oct 2026 09:00:32 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261019090032.1170825-1-chao@kernel.org> (raw)
From: Chao Yu <chao@kernel.org>
With out-of-memory fault injection (inject_type=0x0080800f) on a zoned
device, f2fs stopped checkpoint during GC:
F2FS-fs (dm-0): inject kmalloc in f2fs_kmalloc of move_data_block+0xc0b/0x12b0
Workqueue: dm-1_zwplugs blk_zone_wplug_bio_work
Call Trace:

F2FS-fs (dm-0): Stopped filesystem due to reason: 3
In move_data_block(), the target block is grabbed from the meta cache
after f2fs_allocate_data_block() has allocated newaddr. If grabbing it
fails w/ -ENOMEM, recover_block calls f2fs_do_replace_block() to restore
the old block address and curseg's next_blkoff, which already points
past newaddr, so newaddr is never written. That leaves a hole in a
sequential zone: the next write to the zone is not at the write pointer,
the zone write plug fails it, and f2fs_write_end_bio() stops checkpoint
w/ STOP_CP_REASON_WRITE_FAIL.
move_data_block() allocates newaddr before grabbing its meta page and
goes to recover_block if the grab fails since commit 4356e48e6437
("f2fs crypto: fix incorrect positioning for GCing encrypted data page"),
the meta cache only replaced the meta page w/ a meta cache entry. That
is harmless on a regular device, but it leaves the hole since f2fs
supports host-managed SMR (now zoned block) devices, which only accept
writes at the write pointer of a sequential zone.
If newaddr is in a sequential zone, grab the target block w/
F2FS_CACHE_NOFAIL, so nothing can fail between allocating newaddr and
writing it. In a conventional zone or on a regular device, skipping
newaddr is harmless, so keep the error handling for them.
