If log stripe unit isn't a multiple of the fs blocksize and mounting,
the invalid sb_logsunit leads to crash as soon as we try to write to
the log.

This test triggers ASSERT failure and warning on debug build, thus
failed _dmesg_check, I think we need _disable_dmesg_check (and some
comments) too.

It seems xfs_db doesn't return non-zero on failure, so _notrun won'be be
triggered, you may want to read the logsuint value again to see if it's
set correctly.

Better to mention that with the fix applied kernel refuses to mount, so
we know a mount failure is expected.

If it triggers debug asserts which have been put there to catch bugs
in other utilities (like mkfs) on a current upstream debug kernel,
then the test should not be part of the auto and quick groups.

Cheers,

Dave.

This test corrupts the filesystem on purpose (I didn't make this clear
in my last reply, sorry about that), and xfs detects the corruption &
refuses the mount instead of crashing. So I think the ASSERT failure is
expected on debug build and we just need to ignore it.

And the test reproduces the crash quickly and reliably on buggy kernel
and passes (if we ignore the ASSERT failure) on patched kernel, it
serves as a good 'auto' and 'quick' regression test to me.

Thanks,
Eryu

This particular assert triggers because we rejected the log geometry
options thta we just read off the disk.  I don't think this scenario is
that much different from a block verifier rejecting a block (two printks
and an assert(0) for a corrupt field seem a bit much to me but clearly
someone wanted that to fail noisily), so I think it better just to
filter this particular assertion.

Frankly I think I'd just as soon get rid of the ASSERT since I've been
moving the disk verifiers away from ASSERT->BUGing on garbage disk
contents.

It ought to be in 'fuzzers' too...

Except that after that assert, the block device is now busy and can't
be released, so we can't use the scratch device anymore. All tests
after this assert has been triggered are going to fail because
the block device is busy....

That's the whole point of adding debug asserts in cases like this -
they are supposed to stop test execution in it's tracks and leave a
corpse to analyse. The auto group regression tests are not supposed
to take the machine down on normal test configs (i.e.
CONFIG_XFS_DEBUG=y).

Sure, I'm not saying that it doesn't work as a regression test. I'm
saying that it's a regression test that *should not be run by
everyone*.  It's classified as dangerous which means - by definition
- it should not be part of the quick and auto groups....

If you want to test dangerous regression tests, then you need to
*opt-in* by adding "-g dangerous", not force everyone else to
opt-out by having to run "-g auto -x dangerous".

Cheers,

Dave.

You're right, my test kernel was built with XFS_WARN not XFS_DEBUG, I
missed that the test would crash kernel even on patched kernel on
XFS_DEBUG builds. Thanks for pointing this out!

FWIW, my understanding of the dangerous group has always been that it's
for tests that when they trigger a regression, forcibly affect the
entire system as such (lockup, hang, crash, etc.). IMO, a test that
intentionally generates an XFS assert doesn't really follow the spirit
of that categorization, even though technically an assert can cause a
BUG. This is why we have CONFIG_XFS_ASSERT_FATAL now, because unless
that is disabled any auto test that reproduces a regression (assuming we
have broad/robust assert coverage) can very easily BUG() and have the
associated effect on the system.

The flipside of course is that one should generally be able to run
xfstests against a FATAL_ASSERTS=y kernel that otherwise has no
regressions and not bork the system because a test generates a BUG() as
part of a successful run. Perhaps the root problem here is that the
kernel generates an assert from a codepath that "successfully" handles
the erroneous situation. We already spit out several error messages and
fail the mount, so my .02 (fwiw) would be to leave the test as
auto+dangerous, delete the useless assert and let people affected by
older kernels (w/ FATAL_ASSERT behavior) filter out the test as
appropriate in those environments. (Looking back, I see Darrick already
suggested to delete the assert as well...).

I often explicitly filter out the dangerous group as above because we
already have more than a handful of tests that are in both groups. I
don't think they've historically been mutually exclusive.

And this is exactly why I opposed the CONFIG_XFS_ASSERT_FATAL
inclusion. It started us down the slippery slope of allowing people
to ignore asserts that indicate an impossible condition had
occurred.

This was a bug found via fuzzing, not user problems in the wild. The
assert had functioned perfectly well up to this point as a mechanism
for preventing the XFS tools from creating a corrupt log stripe
unit, and it still does....

That's the point here - a corrupt log stripe unit *should never
happen* because it should trigger a CRC validation failure long
before we get to parsing it. If we've got a corrupt value with a
correct CRC, then we damn well need to understand the cause
*immediately* because something else has gone very, very wrong.

That is the historical behaviour of CONFIG_XFS_DEBUG=y and the
historical policy for xfstests. Adding CONFIG_XFS_ASSERT_FATAL does
not change that because (at least) some of use still treat asserts
as fatal.

We do that all over the place - the assert is there because it
indicates a fatal problem has occurred that should never happen.
For production systems, we still have to handle that gracefully
because people do fuzz testing of "should never happen" conditions
and then get upset we fail to detect this. That does not mean
the ASSERT is wrong - it makes it even more important that
developers know when their code hits these cases....

If we really want to test these "should not ever happen" conditions
that trigger asserts on debug kernels as "everyone always runs"
regression testing, then these need to _notrun on CONFIG_XFS_DEBUG=y
kernels.  fstests already knows that it's running on a debug kernel,
so adding a _requires_production_kernel check may be the way around
this being considered a dangerous test.

... and this specific assert caught multiple bugs I introduced while
refactoring mkfs recently. That's it's purpose, and it works for
that purpose very well.

Which means we've already deviated from the historic policy. That
doesn't mean it the right direction to take.

I had the same understanding of dangerous group. And I recommended the
usage of "-g auto -x dangerous" before[1], and Dave acknowledged this
dangerous group usage[2] :)

This reminds that we already have a _require_no_xfs_debug rule, as used
in xfs/115, which is known to trigger ASSERT failure on debug build. So
we can do the same in this new test.

Agreed.  This new test can be skipped by _require_no_xfs_debug rule on 
debug build,
and is considered as a 'auto' and 'quick' regression test, so i wil send 
v4 patch in this way.

Context is important. The context that the above links were talking
about filtering the dangerous group was for older kernels that don't
have the fixes for the bugs that crash the kernel.

This particular test fails this auto group criteria in the case of
people using CONFIG_XFS_DEBUG=y:

"

It fails, and isn't likely to ever work, because the assert needs to
remain there to catch userspace tool screwups....

Ok, good! And it appears to be addressing the same "intentional
corruption triggers failures" case as we are discussing here:

# we corrupt XFS on purpose, and debug built XFS would crash due to assert
# failure, so skip if we're testing on a debug built XFS
_require_no_xfs_debug

Cheers,

I thought you opposed the unconditional change from BUG() to WARN() but
supported the config option, but I could be misremembering.

I'm not following the argument. What do we really lose by removing an
assert that is accompanied by mount failure and several other context
specific error messages?

I'm not suggesting the assert is wrong, that we don't do this all over
the place already, or that we should never do the ASSERT(0) thing. I'm
suggesting that in this specific case, the most practical thing may be
just to delete the assert rather than categorize this new test as
dangerous.

I think that's overkill for the time being, but I suppose is a
reasonable option in the long term as we end up with more of this
particular situation (fuzzer-like tests vs. ASSERT()). I think more
broadly useful would be to use the bug_on_assert sysfs value where it's
available, then fall back to DEBUG=1 if necessary.

Maybe I'm missing something.. the mount would have still failed and spit
out the error message as well, right?

I've taken this approach with xfstests for as long as I can remember
(running the dangerous tests separately at least, so as to not interrupt
a longer running auto run). This doesn't have anything to do with the
whole FATAL_ASSERT thing because most of those dangerous tests weren't
considered dangerous just because they triggered an assert. They were
dangerous because they hung or caused bad memory accesses or some such
on kernels without the associated fix. That actually makes me wonder
whether we should have some kind of dangerous expiration policy where
the tag could be removed after some period of time (where fixes have had
plenty of time to trickle into stable kernels), but that's a separate
topic.

The FATAL_ASSERT thing was more about the ability to enable all of the
additional DEBUG mode code we have (things like sparse inode injection,
etc., that simply cannot be enabled on DEBUG=0) without also having to
crash the box if an assertion fails.

My only suggestion (re: my previous comment) is to consider using a new
check that looks at bug_on_assert when the knob is available for tests
that are expected to generate asserts as such. The test stil has to
filter the assert itself to cover the WARN=1 case, right?

Only with CONFIG_XFS_ASSERT_FATAL=y! :)

Looks like we need a new _require_no_xfs_bug_on_assert, which looks at
/sys/fs/xfs/debug/bug_on_assert value if it's available, and just calls
_require_no_xfs_debug if it's not available.

> filter the assert itself to cover the WARN=1 case, right?

I think so (and to cover the bug_on_assert=0 case).

XFS_ASSERT_FATAL and _require_no_xfs_debug were introduced closely in
time. XFS_ASSERT_FATAL was there first, and it was too new to be noticed
when we then introduced _require_no_xfs_debug..
