[Filesystems-devel] Raspbian Raspberry PI kernel 4.14.70-v7+ breaks f2fs filesystem

[Swâmi Petaramesh]

Hi,

FYI copy of the bug report I file on the Raspberry Pi firmware GitHub page :


Kernel 4.14.70-v7+ breaks f2fs filesystem


I have 2 model-3B Pis running Raspian, but on a f2fs (filesystem
optimized for flash devices) root filesystem.

Both machines were _perfectly_ stable up to kernel 4.14.50-v7+

Both machines suffer random - and frequent - complete filesystem locks
with kernel 4.14.70-v7+

The issue appeared immediately after upgrading from 4.14.50-v7+ to
4.14.70-v7+ on both machines.

Filesystem access locks and the machine then freezes.

So I can say for sure that “something between kernel 4.14.50-v7+ and
4.14.70-v7+ broke f2fs.
