If we are recording in the tree log that an inode has new names (new hard links were added), we would drop items, belonging to the inode, that we shouldn't: 1) When the flag BTRFS_INODE_COPY_EVERYTHING is set in the inode's runtime flags, we ended up dropping all the extent and xattr items that were previously logged. This was done only in memory, since logging a new name doesn't imply syncing the log; 2) When the flag BTRFS_INODE_COPY_EVERYTHING is set in the inode's runtime flags, we ended up dropping all the xattr items that were previously logged. Like the case before, this was done only in memory because logging a new name doesn't imply syncing the log. This led to some surprises in scenarios such as the following: 1) write some extents to an inode; 2) fsync the inode; 3) truncate the inode or delete/modify some of its xattrs 4) add a new hard link for that inode 5) fsync some other file, to force the log tree to be durably persisted 6) power failure happens The next time the fs is mounted, the fsync log replay code is executed, and the resulting file doesn't have the content it had when the last fsync against it was performed, instead if has a content matching what it had when the last transaction commit happened. So change the behaviour such that when a new name is logged, only the inode item and reference items are processed. This is easy to reproduce with the test I just made for xfstests, whose main body is: _scratch_mkfs >> $seqres.full 2>&1 _init_flakey _mount_flakey # Create our test file with some data. $XFS_IO_PROG -f -c "pwrite -S 0xaa -b 8K 0 8K" \ $SCRATCH_MNT/foo | _filter_xfs_io # Make sure the file is durably persisted. sync # Append some data to our file, to increase its size. $XFS_IO_PROG -f -c "pwrite -S 0xcc -b 4K 8K 4K" \ $SCRATCH_MNT/foo | _filter_xfs_io # Fsync the file, so from this point on if a crash/power failure happens, our # new data is guaranteed to be there next time the fs is mounted. $XFS_IO_PROG -c "fsync" $SCRATCH_MNT/foo # Now shrink our file to 5000 bytes. $XFS_IO_PROG -c "truncate 5000" $SCRATCH_MNT/foo # Now do an expanding truncate to a size larger than what we had when we last # fsync'ed our file. This is just to verify that after power failure and # replaying the fsync log, our file matches what it was when we last fsync'ed # it - 12Kb size, first 8Kb of data had a value of 0xaa and the last 4Kb of # data had a value of 0xcc. $XFS_IO_PROG -c "truncate 32K" $SCRATCH_MNT/foo # Add one hard link to our file. This made btrfs drop all of our file's # metadata from the fsync log, including the metadata relative to the # extent we just wrote and fsync'ed. This change was made only to the fsync # log in memory, so adding the hard link alone doesn't change the persisted # fsync log. This happened because the previous truncates set the runtime # flag BTRFS_INODE_NEEDS_FULL_SYNC in the btrfs inode structure. ln $SCRATCH_MNT/foo $SCRATCH_MNT/foo_link # Now make sure the in memory fsync log is durably persisted. # Creating and fsync'ing another file will do it. # After this our persisted fsync log will no longer have metadata for our file # foo that points to the extent we wrote and fsync'ed before. touch $SCRATCH_MNT/bar $XFS_IO_PROG -c "fsync" $SCRATCH_MNT/bar # As expected, before the crash/power failure, we should be able to see a file # with a size of 32Kb, with its first 5000 bytes having the value 0xaa and all # the remaining bytes with value 0x00. echo "File content before:" od -t x1 $SCRATCH_MNT/foo # Simulate a crash/power loss. _load_flakey_table $FLAKEY_DROP_WRITES _unmount_flakey _load_flakey_table $FLAKEY_ALLOW_WRITES _mount_flakey # After mounting the fs again, the fsync log was replayed. # The expected result is to see a file with a size of 12Kb, with its first 8Kb # of data having the value 0xaa and its last 4Kb of data having a value of 0xcc. # The btrfs bug used to leave the file as it used te be as of the last # transaction commit - that is, with a size of 8Kb with all bytes having a # value of 0xaa. echo "File content after:" od -t x1 $SCRATCH_MNT/foo The test case for xfstests follows soon.

HSI - High-speed Synchronous Serial Interface
1. Introduction
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
High Speed Syncronous Interface (HSI) is a fullduplex, low latency protocol,
that is optimized for die-level interconnect between an Application Processor
and a Baseband chipset. It has been specified by the MIPI alliance in 2003 and
implemented by multiple vendors since then.
The HSI interface supports full duplex communication over multiple channels
(typically 8) and is capable of reaching speeds up to 200 Mbit/s.
The serial protocol uses two signals, DATA and FLAG as combined data and clock
signals and an additional READY signal for flow control. An additional WAKE
signal can be used to wakeup the chips from standby modes. The signals are
commonly prefixed by AC for signals going from the application die to the
cellular die and CA for signals going the other way around.

2. HSI Subsystem in Linux
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the Linux kernel the hsi subsystem is supposed to be used for HSI devices.
The hsi subsystem contains drivers for hsi controllers including support for
multi-port controllers and provides a generic API for using the HSI ports.
It also contains HSI client drivers, which make use of the generic API to
implement a protocol used on the HSI interface. These client drivers can
use an arbitrary number of channels.
3. hsi-char Device
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Each port automatically registers a generic client driver called hsi_char,
which provides a charecter device for userspace representing the HSI port.
It can be used to communicate via HSI from userspace. Userspace may
configure the hsi_char device using the following ioctl commands:
* HSC_RESET:
- flush the HSI port
* HSC_SET_PM
- enable or disable the client.
* HSC_SEND_BREAK
- send break
* HSC_SET_RX
- set RX configuration
* HSC_GET_RX
- get RX configuration
* HSC_SET_TX
- set TX configuration
* HSC_GET_TX
- get TX configuration
