Bug Description

I'm running ubuntu Wily amd64 on a MSI Ghost Pro laptop.

I'm running btrfs on top of a bcached dmraid setup(intel software raid0).

I can't use sbuild, cause it crashes.

I tried to use a schroot env, and when updating it I got it to crash also.

All the keyboard/mouse/X11 are stalled, but I could ssh to it.
Trying to restart lightdm service didn't help.

I've got a kernel trace in the dmesg:

I have the same problem although i am using overlay while being in a docker container. Host fs is btrfs on arch linux kernel 4.2.0, guest docker image ubuntu:wily.

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v4.4 kernel[0].

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".

Thanks in advance.

I tried with the upstream v4.4-wily kernel.

I couldn't re-use my previous schroot (couldn't mount with overlayfs). I've created a new one with --type=btrfs-snapshot.

My latop didn't freeze, but I still got traces in the syslog:

This will help determine if the problem you are seeing is the result of a regression, and when this regression was introduced. If this is a regression, we can perform a kernel bisect to identify the commit that introduced the problem.

    overlayfs: Make f_path always point to the overlay and f_inode to the underlay

    Make file->f_path always point to the overlay dentry so that the path in
    /proc/pid/fd is correct and to ensure that label-based LSMs have access to the
    overlay as well as the underlay (path-based LSMs probably don't need it).

    Using my union testsuite to set things up, before the patch I see:

     [root@andromeda union-testsuite]# bash 5</mnt/a/foo107
     [root@andromeda union-testsuite]# ls -l /proc/$$/fd/
     ...
     lr-x------. 1 root root 64 Jun 5 14:38 5 -> /a/foo107
     [root@andromeda union-testsuite]# stat /mnt/a/foo107
     ...
     Device: 23h/35d Inode: 13381 Links: 1
     ...
     [root@andromeda union-testsuite]# stat -L /proc/$$/fd/5
     ...
     Device: 23h/35d Inode: 13381 Links: 1
     ...

    After the patch:

     [root@andromeda union-testsuite]# bash 5</mnt/a/foo107
     [root@andromeda union-testsuite]# ls -l /proc/$$/fd/
     ...
     lr-x------. 1 root root 64 Jun 5 14:22 5 -> /mnt/a/foo107
     [root@andromeda union-testsuite]# stat /mnt/a/foo107
     ...
     Device: 23h/35d Inode: 40346 Links: 1
     ...
     [root@andromeda union-testsuite]# stat -L /proc/$$/fd/5
     ...
     Device: 23h/35d Inode: 40346 Links: 1
     ...

    Note the change in where /proc/$$/fd/5 points to in the ls command. It was
    pointing to /a/foo107 (which doesn't exist) and now points to /mnt/a/foo107
    (which is correct).

    The inode accessed, however, is the lower layer. The union layer is on device
    25h/37d and the upper layer on 24h/36d.

Commit 4bacc9c9234c7c8eec44f5ed4e960d9f96fa0f01 ("overlayfs: Make f_path
always point to the overlay and f_inode to the underlay") resulted in an
issue when using a combination of btrfs and overlayfs. This is
noticeable when doing a fsync() on a file in a chroot with overlayfs on
top of btrfs; we hit a kernel oops in btrfs_sync_file() on
atomic_inc(&root->log_batch) because root is NULL.

I've debugged this further and found that in btrfs_sync_file():

 struct inode *inode = d_inode(dentry);

does not return the inode I expected when using the stacked overlay fs,
where as:

 struct inode *inode = file_inode(file);

does.

However, I'm not well at all well versed in btrfs, so I am not confident
this is a actually correct. Any comments?

I suggest a workaround for the moment, using aufs as the overlay to see if this helps.

Modify the chroot config and set the union-type to aufs:

union-type=aufs

you may see an error like:

"aufs au_xino_create:778:mount[3600]: xino doesn't support /tmp/.aufs.xino(btrfs)"

this is caused by the fact that btrfs cannot store aufs xino files. aufs tries to store these files alongside the rw layer. If that fails, it tries to store them in /tmp/.aufs.xino, however, if this is btrfs it will fail. So the workaround for that is to mount /tmp as something other than btrfs, e.g. tmpfs

Given that this is stuck waiting for upstream to figure out a way forward, which looks unlikely at the moment, plus we have a suitable workaround, I'm going to mark this as Won't Fix.
