This adds test_gc_nospc with more aggressive testing of gc/traversal
operations in low-space conditions. The original intention was to test
the new soft-ENOSPC traversal behavior, but instead it found a couple
unrelated bugs.
In my defense these involve some rather subtle filesystem interactions
and went unnoticed because we don't usually check data checksums:
1. lfs3_bd_flush had a rare chance where it could corrupt our
prog-aligned pcksum when (1) we bypass the pcache, allowing any
previous contents to stay there until flush/pcksum, and (2) some
other failed prog, in this case failing repopgbmaps due to the
low-space condition, leaves garbage in the pcache. When we flush
we corrupt the pcksum even though the old data belongs to an
unrelated block.
This resulted in CKDATA failing, though the failed check is a false
positive.
As a workaround, lfs3_bd_prog and lfs3_bd_prognext now discard _any_
unrelated pcache, even if bypassing the pcache. This should ensure
consistent behavior in all cases. Note we do something similar for
with the file cache in lfs3_file_write.
This means progs may not complete unless lfs3_bd_flush is called, but
I think we need to call lfs3_bd_flush in all cases anyways to ensure
power-loss safe behavior.
The end result should be a more reliable internal bd prog API.
2. On a successful traversal with LFS3_T_REPOPLOOKAHEAD and
LFS3_T_REPOPGBMAP we adopt both the new gbmap and lookahead buffer.
This is wrong! The lookahead buffer is not aware of the gbmap during
the traversal, and _can't_ be aware as the gbmap changes during
repopulation work. This is the whole reason we have the alloc
ckpoints and the in-flight window.
To fix, adopting the lookahead buffer is now conditional on _not_
adopting a new gbmap.
It makes the code a bit more messy, but this is the correct behavior.
Populating both the gbmap and lookahead buffere requires at least two
passes.
Code changes minimal:
code stack ctx
before: 37248 2352 688
after: 37260 (+0.0%) 2352 (+0.0%) 688 (+0.0%)
code stack ctx
gbmap before: 40204 2368 856
gbmap after: 40220 (+0.0%) 2368 (+0.0%) 856 (+0.0%)
