From 7ebf381a69421a88265d3c49cd0f007ba7336c9d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Filipe Manana fdmanana@suse.com Date: Fri, 11 Jul 2025 20:21:28 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] btrfs: don't ignore inode missing when replaying log tree

During log replay, at add_inode_ref(), we return -ENOENT if our current inode isn't found on the subvolume tree or if a parent directory isn't found. The error comes from btrfs_iget_logging() <- btrfs_iget() <- btrfs_read_locked_inode().

The single caller of add_inode_ref(), replay_one_buffer(), ignores an -ENOENT error because it expects that error to mean only that a parent directory wasn't found and that is ok.

Before commit 5f61b961599a ("btrfs: fix inode lookup error handling during log replay") we were converting any error when getting a parent directory to -ENOENT and any error when getting the current inode to -EIO, so our caller would fail log replay in case we can't find the current inode. After that commit however in case the current inode is not found we return -ENOENT to the caller and therefore it ignores the critical fact that the current inode was not found in the subvolume tree.

Fix this by converting -ENOENT to 0 when we don't find a parent directory, returning -ENOENT when we don't find the current inode and making the caller, replay_one_buffer(), not ignore -ENOENT anymore.
