f2fs: add READ_ONCE() for i_blocks in f2fs_update_inode()

2026-03-24T17:21:01+00:00

f2fs_update_inode() reads inode->i_blocks without holding i_lock to serialize it to the on-disk inode, while concurrent truncate or allocation paths may modify i_blocks under i_lock. Since blkcnt_t is u64, this risks torn reads on 32-bit architectures. Following the approach in ext4_inode_blocks_set(), add READ_ONCE() to prevent potential compiler-induced tearing.

treewide: change inode->i_ino from unsigned long to u64

2026-03-06T13:31:28+00:00

On 32-bit architectures, unsigned long is only 32 bits wide, which causes 64-bit inode numbers to be silently truncated. Several filesystems (NFS, XFS, BTRFS, etc.) can generate inode numbers that exceed 32 bits, and this truncation can lead to inode number collisions and other subtle bugs on 32-bit systems. Change the type of inode->i_ino from unsigned long to u64 to ensure that inode numbers are always represented as 64-bit values regardless of architecture. Update all format specifiers treewide from %lu/%lx to %llu/%llx to match the new type, along with corresponding local variable types. This is the bulk treewide conversion. Earlier patches in this series handled trace events separately to allow trace field reordering for better struct packing on 32-bit.

Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim: "In this development cycle, we focused on several key performance optimizations: - introducing large folio support to enhance read speeds for immutable files - reducing checkpoint=enable latency by flushing only committed dirty pages - implementing tracepoints to diagnose and resolve lock priority inversion.

f2fs: Add sanity checks before unlinking and loading inodes

2025-12-04T02:00:03+00:00

Add check for inode->i_nlink == 1 for directories during unlink, as their value is decremented twice, which can trigger a warning in drop_nlink. In such case mark the filesystem as corrupted and return from the function call with the relevant failure return value. Additionally add the check for i_nlink == 1 in sanity_check_inode in order to detect on-disk corruption early.
