While logging an inode we follow its ancestors and for each one we mark
it as logged in the current transaction, even if we have not logged it.
As a consequence if we change an attribute of an ancestor, such as the
UID or GID for example, and then explicitly fsync it, we end up not
logging the inode at all despite returning success to user space, which
results in the attribute being lost if a power failure happens after
the fsync.
Sample reproducer:
$ mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdb
$ mount /dev/sdb /mnt
$ mkdir /mnt/dir
$ chown 6007:6007 /mnt/dir
$ sync
$ chown 9003:9003 /mnt/dir
$ touch /mnt/dir/file
$ xfs_io -c fsync /mnt/dir/file
# fsync our directory after fsync'ing the new file, should persist the
# new values for the uid and gid.
$ xfs_io -c fsync /mnt/dir
<power failure>
$ mount /dev/sdb /mnt
$ stat -c %u:%g /mnt/dir
6007:6007
--> should be 9003:9003, the uid and gid were not persisted, despite
the explicit fsync on the directory prior to the power failure
Fix this by not updating the logged_trans field of ancestor inodes when
logging an inode, since we have not logged them. Let only future calls to
btrfs_log_inode() to mark inodes as logged.
This could be triggered by my recent fsync fuzz tester for fstests, for
which an fstests patch exists titled "fstests: generic, fsync fuzz tester
with fsstress".

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
