      Btrfs: fix race between caching kthread and returning inode to inode cache · ae9d8f17
      Filipe Manana 提交于
      While the inode cache caching kthread is calling btrfs_unpin_free_ino(),
      we could have a concurrent call to btrfs_return_ino() that adds a new
      entry to the root's free space cache of pinned inodes. This concurrent
      call does not acquire the fs_info->commit_root_sem before adding a new
      entry if the caching state is BTRFS_CACHE_FINISHED, which is a problem
      because the caching kthread calls btrfs_unpin_free_ino() after setting
      the caching state to BTRFS_CACHE_FINISHED and therefore races with
      the task calling btrfs_return_ino(), which is adding a new entry, while
      the former (caching kthread) is navigating the cache's rbtree, removing
      and freeing nodes from the cache's rbtree without acquiring the spinlock
      that protects the rbtree.
      
      This race resulted in memory corruption due to double free of struct
      btrfs_free_space objects because both tasks can end up doing freeing the
      same objects. Note that adding a new entry can result in merging it with
      other entries in the cache, in which case those entries are freed.
      This is particularly important as btrfs_free_space structures are also
      used for the block group free space caches.
      
      This memory corruption can be detected by a debugging kernel, which
      reports it with the following trace:

      Therefore fix this by having btrfs_unpin_free_ino() acquire the lock
      that protects the rbtree while doing the searches and removing entries.

      Btrfs: use kmem_cache_free when freeing entry in inode cache · c3f4a168
      Filipe Manana 提交于
      The free space entries are allocated using kmem_cache_zalloc(),
      through __btrfs_add_free_space(), therefore we should use
      kmem_cache_free() and not kfree() to avoid any confusion and
      any potential problem. Looking at the kfree() definition at
      mm/slab.c it has the following comment:
      
        /*
         * (...)
         *
         * Don't free memory not originally allocated by kmalloc()
         * or you will run into trouble.
         */
      
      So better be safe and use kmem_cache_free().

       [25176.862881]
        *** DEADLOCK ***
      
      Reason:
       Above warning is caused by:
       Interrupt
       -> bio_endio()
       -> ...
       -> scrub_put_ctx()
       -> scrub_free_ctx() *1
       -> ...
       -> mutex_lock(&wr_ctx->wr_lock);
      
       scrub_put_ctx() is allowed to be called in end_bio interrupt, but
       in code design, it will never call scrub_free_ctx(sctx) in interrupe
       context(above *1), because btrfs_scrub_dev() get one additional
       reference of sctx->refs, which makes scrub_free_ctx() only called
       withine btrfs_scrub_dev().
      
       Now the code runs out of our wish, because free sequence in
       scrub_pending_bio_dec() have a gap.
      
       Current code:
       -----------------------------------+-----------------------------------
       scrub_pending_bio_dec()            |  btrfs_scrub_dev
       -----------------------------------+-----------------------------------
       atomic_dec(&sctx->bios_in_flight); |
       wake_up(&sctx->list_wait);         |
                                          | scrub_put_ctx()
                                          | -> atomic_dec_and_test(&sctx->refs)
       scrub_put_ctx(sctx);               |
       -> atomic_dec_and_test(&sctx->refs)|
       -> scrub_free_ctx()                |
       -----------------------------------+-----------------------------------
      
       We expected:
       -----------------------------------+-----------------------------------
       scrub_pending_bio_dec()            |  btrfs_scrub_dev
       -----------------------------------+-----------------------------------
       atomic_dec(&sctx->bios_in_flight); |
       wake_up(&sctx->list_wait);         |
       scrub_put_ctx(sctx);               |
       -> atomic_dec_and_test(&sctx->refs)|
                                          | scrub_put_ctx()
                                          | -> atomic_dec_and_test(&sctx->refs)
                                          | -> scrub_free_ctx()
       -----------------------------------+-----------------------------------
      
      Fix:
       Move scrub_pending_bio_dec() to a workqueue, to avoid this function run
       in interrupt context.
       Tested by check tracelog in debug.
      
      Changelog v1->v2:
       Use workqueue instead of adjust function call sequence in v1,
       because v1 will introduce a bug pointed out by:

      btrfs: Handle unaligned length in extent_same · e1d227a4
      Mark Fasheh 提交于
      The extent-same code rejects requests with an unaligned length. This
      poses a problem when we want to dedupe the tail extent of files as we
      skip cloning the portion between i_size and the extent boundary.
      
      If we don't clone the entire extent, it won't be deleted. So the
      combination of these behaviors winds up giving us worst-case dedupe on
      many files.
      
      We can fix this by allowing a length that extents to i_size and
      internally aligining those to the end of the block. This is what
      btrfs_ioctl_clone() so we can just copy that check over.

      Btrfs: btrfs_defrag_file: Fix calculation of max_to_defrag. · 070034bd
      chandan 提交于
      max_to_defrag represents the number of pages to defrag rather than the last
      page of the file range to be defragged.
      
      Consider a file having 10 4k blocks (i.e. blocks in the range [0 - 9]). If the
      defrag ioctl was invoked for the block range [3 - 6], then max_to_defrag
      should actually have the value 4. Instead in the current code we end up
      setting it to 6.
      
      Now, this does not (yet) cause an issue since the first part of the while loop
      condition in btrfs_defrag_file() (i.e. "i <= last_index") causes the control
      to flow out of the while loop before any buggy behavior is actually caused. So
      the patch just makes sure that max_to_defrag ends up having the right value
      rather than fixing a bug. I did run the xfstests suite to make sure that the
      code does not regress.

      Btrfs: btrfs_defrag_file: Fix ra_index computation. · e4826a5b
      chandan 提交于
      Read-ahead is done for the pages in the range [ra_index, ra_index + cluster -
      1]. So the next read-ahead should be starting from the page at index 'ra_index
      + cluster' (unless we deemed that the extent at 'ra_index + cluster' as
      non-defraggable) rather than from the page at index 'ra_index +
      max_cluster'. This patch fixes this. I did run the xfstests suite to make sure
      that the code does not regress.

      Btrfs: fix necessary chunk tree space calculation when allocating a chunk · 4617ea3a
      Filipe Manana 提交于
      When allocating a new chunk or removing one we need to update num_devs
      device items and insert or remove a chunk item in the chunk tree, so
      in the worst case the space needed in the chunk space_info is:
      
        btrfs_calc_trunc_metadata_size(chunk_root, num_devs) +
           btrfs_calc_trans_metadata_size(chunk_root, 1)
      
      That is, in the worst case we need to cow num_devs paths and cow 1 other
      path that can result in splitting every node and leaf, and each path
      consisting of BTRFS_MAX_LEVEL - 1 nodes and 1 leaf. We were requiring
      some additional chunk_root->nodesize * BTRFS_MAX_LEVEL * num_devs bytes,
      which were unnecessary since updating the existing device items does
      not result in splitting the nodes and leaf since after updating them
      they remain with the same size.

      Btrfs: don't attach unnecessary extents to transaction on fsync · 7558c8bc
      Filipe Manana 提交于
      We don't need to attach ordered extents that have completed to the current
      transaction. Doing so only makes us hold memory for longer than necessary
      and delaying the iput of the inode until the transaction is committed (for
      each created ordered extent we do an igrab and then schedule an asynchronous
      iput when the ordered extent's reference count drops to 0), preventing the
      inode from being evictable until the transaction commits.

      Btrfs: avoid syncing log in the fast fsync path when not necessary · b659ef02
      Filipe Manana 提交于
      Commit 3a8b36f3 ("Btrfs: fix data loss in the fast fsync path") added
      a performance regression for that causes an unnecessary sync of the log
      trees (fs/subvol and root log trees) when 2 consecutive fsyncs are done
      against a file, without no writes or any metadata updates to the inode in
      between them and if a transaction is committed before the second fsync is
      called.
