Let's dump and check metadata of corrupted inode, it shows its xattr_nid
is the same to its i_ino.
dump.f2fs -i 3 chaseyu.img.raw
i_xattr_nid [0x 3 : 3]
So that, during mknod in the corrupted directory, it tries to get and
lock inode page twice, result in deadlock.
- f2fs_mknod
- f2fs_add_inline_entry
- f2fs_get_inode_page --- lock dir's inode page
- f2fs_init_acl
- f2fs_acl_create(dir,..)
- __f2fs_get_acl
- f2fs_getxattr
- lookup_all_xattrs
- __get_node_page --- try to lock dir's inode page
In order to fix this, let's add sanity check on ino and xnid.
