Description Andy Walsh 2020-04-24 17:59:55 UTC
Description of problem:
We have seen in our tests that when a system has crashed and recovered that there was a slab journal block underflow logged.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kmod-kvdo-6.2.2.117

How reproducible:
Rare

Steps to Reproduce:
Cause a slab journal block underflow (unknown currently how to reproduce) by maybe crashing the system a whole bunch of times, but it is unclear what conditions specifically cause it.

Actual results:
[38918.224042] uds: kvdo1:physQ0: assertion "decrement of lock count for slab journal block 958 must not underflow" ((-adjustment <= lock->count)) failed at /var/lib/dkms/kvdo/6.2.2/build/kvdo/slabJournal.c:1129

Expected results:
A more clear message indicating what caused the underflow and by how much, and eventually no message at all.
