From 7a14369589fd368dd0a83e6b70d0a3eddef071e8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mikulas Patocka Date: Wed, 16 Oct 2013 03:17:47 +0100 Subject: dm snapshot: fix data corruption commit e9c6a182649f4259db704ae15a91ac820e63b0ca upstream. This patch fixes a particular type of data corruption that has been encountered when loading a snapshot's metadata from disk. When we allocate a new chunk in persistent_prepare, we increment ps->next_free and we make sure that it doesn't point to a metadata area by further incrementing it if necessary. When we load metadata from disk on device activation, ps->next_free is positioned after the last used data chunk. However, if this last used data chunk is followed by a metadata area, ps->next_free is positioned erroneously to the metadata area. A newly-allocated chunk is placed at the same location as the metadata area, resulting in data or metadata corruption. This patch changes the code so that ps->next_free skips the metadata area when metadata are loaded in function read_exceptions. The patch also moves a piece of code from persistent_prepare_exception to a separate function skip_metadata to avoid code duplication.
