Btrfs: fix fsync not persisting changed attributes of a directory
While logging an inode we follow its ancestors and for each one we mark it as logged in the current transaction, even if we have not logged it. As a consequence if we change an attribute of an ancestor, such as the UID or GID for example, and then explicitly fsync it, we end up not logging the inode at all despite returning success to user space, which results in the attribute being lost if a power failure happens after the fsync. Sample reproducer: $ mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdb $ mount /dev/sdb /mnt $ mkdir /mnt/dir $ chown 6007:6007 /mnt/dir $ sync $ chown 9003:9003 /mnt/dir $ touch /mnt/dir/file $ xfs_io -c fsync /mnt/dir/file # fsync our directory after fsync'ing the new file, should persist the # new values for the uid and gid. $ xfs_io -c fsync /mnt/dir <power failure> $ mount /dev/sdb /mnt $ stat -c %u:%g /mnt/dir 6007:6007 --> should be 9003:9003, the uid and gid were not persisted, despite the explicit fsync on the directory prior to the power failure Fix this by not updating the logged_trans field of ancestor inodes when logging an inode, since we have not logged them. Let only future calls to btrfs_log_inode() to mark inodes as logged. This could be triggered by my recent fsync fuzz tester for fstests, for which an fstests patch exists titled "fstests: generic, fsync fuzz tester with fsstress".
