      xfs: don't free EFIs before the EFDs are committed · 666d644c
      Dave Chinner 提交于
      Filesystems are occasionally being shut down with this error:
      
      xfs_trans_ail_delete_bulk: attempting to delete a log item that is
      not in the AIL.
      
      It was diagnosed to be related to the EFI/EFD commit order when the
      EFI and EFD are in different checkpoints and the EFD is committed
      before the EFI here:
      
      http://oss.sgi.com/archives/xfs/2013-01/msg00082.html
      
      The real problem is that a single bit cannot fully describe the
      states that the EFI/EFD processing can be in. These completion
      states are:
      
      EFI			EFI in AIL	EFD		Result
      committed/unpinned	Yes		committed	OK
      committed/pinned	No		committed	Shutdown
      uncommitted		No		committed	Shutdown
      
      
      Note that the "result" field is what should happen, not what does
      happen. The current logic is broken and handles the first two cases
      correctly by luck.  That is, the code will free the EFI if the
      XFS_EFI_COMMITTED bit is *not* set, rather than if it is set. The
      inverted logic "works" because if both EFI and EFD are committed,
      then the first __xfs_efi_release() call clears the XFS_EFI_COMMITTED
      bit, and the second frees the EFI item. Hence as long as
      xfs_efi_item_committed() has been called, everything appears to be
      fine.
      
      It is the third case where the logic fails - where
      xfs_efd_item_committed() is called before xfs_efi_item_committed(),
      and that results in the EFI being freed before it has been
      committed. That is the bug that triggered the shutdown, and hence
      keeping track of whether the EFI has been committed or not is
      insufficient to correctly order the EFI/EFD operations w.r.t. the
      AIL.
      
      What we really want is this: the EFI is always placed into the
      AIL before the last reference goes away. The only way to guarantee
      that is that the EFI is not freed until after it has been unpinned
      *and* the EFD has been committed. That is, restructure the logic so
      that the only case that can occur is the first case.
      
      This can be done easily by replacing the XFS_EFI_COMMITTED with an
      EFI reference count. The EFI is initialised with it's own count, and
      that is not released until it is unpinned. However, there is a
      complication to this method - the high level EFI/EFD code in
      xfs_bmap_finish() does not hold direct references to the EFI
      structure, and runs a transaction commit between the EFI and EFD
      processing. Hence the EFI can be freed even before the EFD is
      created using such a method.
      
      Further, log recovery uses the AIL for tracking EFI/EFDs that need
      to be recovered, but it uses the AIL *differently* to the EFI
      transaction commit. Hence log recovery never pins or unpins EFIs, so
      we can't drop the EFI reference count indirectly to free the EFI.
      
      However, this doesn't prevent us from using a reference count here.
      There is a 1:1 relationship between EFIs and EFDs, so when we
      initialise the EFI we can take a reference count for the EFD as
      well. This solves the xfs_bmap_finish() issue - the EFI will never
      be freed until the EFD is processed. In terms of log recovery,
      during the committing of the EFD we can look for the
      XFS_EFI_RECOVERED bit being set and drop the EFI reference as well,
      thereby ensuring everything works correctly there as well.

      Pull fbdev UAPI disintegration from David Howells:
       "You'll be glad to here that the end is nigh for the UAPI patches.
        Only the fbdev/framebuffer piece remains now that the SCSI stuff has
        gone in.
      
        Here are the UAPI disintegration bits for the fbdev drivers.  It
        appears that Florian hasn't had time to deal with my patch, but back
        in December he did say he didn't mind if I pushed it forward."
      
      Yay.  No more uapi movement.  And hopefully no more big header file
      cleanups coming up either, it just tends to be very painful.
