The metadata LSN is recorded in various bits of metadata to provide recovery ordering criteria that prevents transient corruption states reported by buffer write verifiers. Without such ordering logic, buffer updates can be replayed out of order and lead to false positive transient corruption states. This is generally not a corruption vector on its own, but corruption detection shuts down the filesystem and ultimately prevents a mount if it occurs during log recovery. This requires an xfs_repair run that clears the log and potentially loses filesystem updates. This problem is avoided in most cases as metadata writes during normal filesystem operation update the metadata LSN appropriately. The problem with log recovery not updating metadata LSNs manifests if the system happens to crash shortly after log recovery itself. In this scenario, it is possible for log recovery to complete all metadata I/O such that the filesystem is consistent. If a crash occurs after that point but before the log tail is pushed forward by subsequent operations, however, the next mount performs the same log recovery over again. If a buffer is updated multiple times in the dirty range of the log, an earlier update in the log might not be valid based on the current state of the associated buffer after all of the updates in the log had been replayed (before the previous crash). If a verifier happens to detect such a problem, the filesystem claims corruption and immediately shuts down. This commonly manifests in practice as directory block verifier failures such as the following, likely due to directory verifiers being particularly detailed in their checks as compared to most others: ... Mounting V5 Filesystem XFS (dm-0): Starting recovery (logdev: internal) XFS (dm-0): Internal error XFS_WANT_CORRUPTED_RETURN at line ... of \ file fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_dir2_data.c. Caller xfs_dir3_data_verify ... ... Update log recovery to update the metadata LSN of recovered buffers. Since metadata LSNs are already updated by write verifer functions via attached log items, attach a dummy log item to the buffer during validation and explicitly set the LSN of the current transaction. This ensures that the metadata LSN of a buffer is updated based on whether the recovery I/O actually completes, and if so, that subsequent recovery attempts identify that the buffer is already up to date with respect to the current transaction.
