I/O unit where the corruption + * starts B, and the previous min. I/O unit A. The below code tries to + * deal with a situation when half of B contains valid nodes or the end + * of a valid node, and the second half of B contains corrupted data or + * garbage. This means that UBIFS had been writing to B just before the + * power cut happened. I do not know how realistic is this scenario + * that half of the min. I/O unit had been written successfully and the + * other half not, but this is possible in our 'failure mode emulation' + * infrastructure at least. + * + * So what is the problem, why we need to drop those nodes? Whey can't + * we just clean-up the second half of B by putting a padding node + * there? We can, and this works fine with one exception which was + * reproduced with power cut emulation testing and happens extremely + * rarely. The description follows, but it is worth noting that that is + * only about the GC head, so we could do this trick only if the bud + * belongs to the GC head, but it does not seem to be worth an + * additional "if" statement. + * + * So, imagine the file-system is full, we run GC which is moving valid + * nodes from LEB X to LEB Y (obviously, LEB Y is the current GC head + * LEB). The @c->gc_lnum is -1, which means that GC will retain LEB X + * and will try to continue. Imagine that LEB X is currently the + * dirtiest LEB, and the amount of used space in LEB Y is exactly the + * same as amount of free space in LEB X. + * + * And a power cut happens when nodes are moved from LEB X to LEB Y. We + * are here trying to recover LEB Y which is the GC head LEB. We find + * the min. I/O unit B as described above. Then we clean-up LEB Y by + * padding min. I/O unit. And later 'ubifs_rcvry_gc_commit()' function + * fails, because it cannot find a dirty LEB which could be GC'd into + * LEB Y! Even LEB X does not match because the amount of valid nodes + * there does not fit the free space in LEB Y any more! And this is + * because of the padding node which we added to LEB Y. The + * user-visible effect of this which I once observed and analysed is + * that we cannot mount the file-system with -ENOSPC error. + * + * So obviously, to make sure that situation does not happen we should + * free min.
