While investigating another mkfs bug, noticed that cfg->lsunit is sometimes
left uninitialized when it should not.  This is because calc_stripe_factors
in some cases needs cfg->loginternal to be set first.  This is done in
validate_logdev. So move calc_stripe_factors below validate_logdev while
parsing configs.

I believe cfg->lsunit will be left 'uninitialized' every time if it is not
explicitly set in mkfs command line.

I believe you are referring to this specific part of the code here:

┆       if (lsunit) {
┆       ┆       /* convert from 512 byte blocks to fs blocks */
┆       ┆       cfg->lsunit = DTOBT(lsunit, cfg->blocklog);
┆       } else if (cfg->sb_feat.log_version == 2 && 
┆       ┆          cfg->loginternal && cfg->dsunit) {
┆       ┆       /* lsunit and dsunit now in fs blocks */
┆       ┆       cfg->lsunit = cfg->dsunit;
┆       }

Which, well, unless we set lsunit at command line, we will always fall into the
else if and leave cfg->lsunit uninitialized, once we still don't have
cfg->loginternal set.

This is 'okayish' because we initialize the cfg structure here in main:

struct mkfs_params┆     cfg = {};


By default (IIRC), GCC will initialize to 0 all members of the struct, so, we
are 'safe' here in any case. But, at the same time, (also IIRC), structs should
not be initialized by empty braces (according to ISO C).

So, while I agree with your patch, while you're still on it, could you please
also (and if others agree), properly initialize the structs in main(){}?

Like:

@@ -3848,15 +3849,15 @@ main(
                .isdirect = LIBXFS_DIRECT,
                .isreadonly = LIBXFS_EXCLUSIVELY,
        };
-       struct xfs_mount        mbuf = {};
+       struct xfs_mount        mbuf = {0};
        struct xfs_mount        *mp = &mbuf;
        struct xfs_sb           *sbp = &mp->m_sb;
-       struct fs_topology      ft = {};
+       struct fs_topology      ft = {0};
        struct cli_params       cli = {
                .xi = &xi,
                .loginternal = 1,
        };
-       struct mkfs_params      cfg = {};
+       struct mkfs_params      cfg = {0};
 



Anyway, this is more a suggestion due ISO C 'formalities' (which I *think* GCC
would complain if -Wpedantic was enabled), otherwise I can send a patch later
changing that, if you decide to go with your patch as-is, you can add:

Yeah, it's worth mentioning too that I actually found this while trying 
to fix a corrupted log ticket that was reported to have popped up after 
upgrading xfsprogs.  A lot of trial and error later I found the 
corruption correlated with this bug, but I haven't found out exactly why 
it has that effect yet.  Something not right with how kernel space is 
handling the config I suspect, but I'm still looking at it.

Ok, that looks reasonable.  I can add that in a v2 and send it out.  Thanks!
