There is a lot of cookie-cutter code that looks like: if (shutdown) handle buffer error xfs_buf_iorequest(bp) error = xfs_buf_iowait(bp) if (error) handle buffer error spread through XFS. There's significant complexity now in xfs_buf_iorequest() to specifically handle this sort of synchronous IO pattern, but there's all sorts of nasty surprises in different error handling code dependent on who owns the buffer references and the locks. Pull this pattern into a single helper, where we can hide all the synchronous IO warts and hence make the error handling for all the callers much saner. This removes the need for a special extra reference to protect IO completion processing, as we can now hold a single reference across dispatch and waiting, simplifying the sync IO smeantics and error handling. In doing this, also rename xfs_buf_iorequest to xfs_buf_submit and make it explicitly handle on asynchronous IO. This forces all users to be switched specifically to one interface or the other and removes any ambiguity between how the interfaces are to be used. It also means that xfs_buf_iowait() goes away.

We do some work in xfs_buf_ioend, and some work in xfs_buf_iodone_work, but much of that functionality is the same. This work can all be done in a single function, leaving xfs_buf_iodone just a wrapper to determine if we should execute it by workqueue or directly. hence rename xfs_buf_iodone_work to xfs_buf_ioend(), and add a new xfs_buf_ioend_async() for places that need async processing.

When we have marked the filesystem for shutdown, we want to prevent any further buffer IO from being submitted. However, we currently force the log after marking the filesystem as shut down, hence allowing IO to the log *after* we have marked both the filesystem and the log as in an error state. Clean this up by forcing the log before we mark the filesytem with an error. This replaces the pure CIL flush that we currently have which works around this same issue (i.e the CIL can't be flushed once the shutdown flags are set) and hence enables us to clean up the logic substantially.

We recently had a bug where buffers were slipping through log recovery without any verifier attached to them. This was resulting in on-disk CRC mismatches for valid data. Add some warning code to catch this occurrence so that we catch such bugs during development rather than not being aware they exist. Note that we cannot do this verification unconditionally as non-CRC filesystems don't always attach verifiers to the buffers being written. e.g. during log recovery we cannot identify all the different types of buffers correctly on non-CRC filesystems, so we can't attach the correct verifiers in all cases and so we don't attach any. Hence we don't want on non-CRC filesystems to avoid spamming the logs with false indications.

Most of the callers are just calling ASSERT(!xfs_buf_geterror()) which means they are checking for bp->b_error == 0. If bp is null in this case, we will assert fail, and hence it's no different in result to oopsing because of a null bp. In some cases, errors have already been checked for or the function returning the buffer can't return a buffer with an error, so it's just a redundant assert. Either way, the assert can either be removed. The other two non-assert callers can just test for a buffer and error properly.

And interesting situation can occur if a log IO error occurs during the unmount of a filesystem. The cases reported have the same signature - the update of the superblock counters fails due to a log write IO error: XFS (dm-16): xfs_do_force_shutdown(0x2) called from line 1170 of file fs/xfs/xfs_log.c. Return address = 0xffffffffa08a44a1 XFS (dm-16): Log I/O Error Detected. Shutting down filesystem XFS (dm-16): Unable to update superblock counters. Freespace may not be correct on next mount. XFS (dm-16): xfs_log_force: error 5 returned. XFS (¿-¿¿¿): Please umount the filesystem and rectify the problem(s) It can be seen that the last line of output contains a corrupt device name - this is because the log and xfs_mount structures have already been freed by the time this message is printed. A kernel oops closely follows. The issue is that the shutdown is occurring in a separate IO completion thread to the unmount. Once the shutdown processing has started and all the iclogs are marked with XLOG_STATE_IOERROR, the log shutdown code wakes anyone waiting on a log force so they can process the shutdown error. This wakes up the unmount code that is doing a synchronous transaction to update the superblock counters. The unmount path now sees all the iclogs are marked with XLOG_STATE_IOERROR and so never waits on them again, knowing that if it does, there will not be a wakeup trigger for it and we will hang the unmount if we do. Hence the unmount runs through all the remaining code and frees all the filesystem structures while the xlog_iodone() is still processing the shutdown. When the log shutdown processing completes, xfs_do_force_shutdown() emits the "Please umount the filesystem and rectify the problem(s)" message, and xlog_iodone() then aborts all the objects attached to the iclog. An iclog that has already been freed.... The real issue here is that there is no serialisation point between the log IO and the unmount. We have serialisations points for log writes, log forces, reservations, etc, but we don't actually have any code that wakes for log IO to fully complete. We do that for all other types of object, so why not iclogbufs? Well, it turns out that we can easily do this. We've got xfs_buf handles, and that's what everyone else uses for IO serialisation. i.e. bp->b_sema. So, lets hold iclogbufs locked over IO, and only release the lock in xlog_iodone() when we are finished with the buffer. That way before we tear down the iclog, we can lock and unlock the buffer to ensure IO completion has finished completely before we tear it down.

Most code that does transactions doesn't need to know anything about the log, but this dependency means that they have to include xfs_log.h. Decouple the xfs_trans.h and xfs_log.h header files and clean up the includes to be in dependency order. In doing this, remove the direct include of xfs_trans_reserve.h from xfs_trans.h so that we remove the dependency between xfs_trans.h and xfs_mount.h. Hence the xfs_trans.h include can be moved to the indicate the actual dependencies other header files have on it.

All of the buffer operations structures are needed to be exported for xfs_db, so move them all to a common location rather than spreading them all over the place. They are verifying the on-disk format, so while xfs_format.h might be a good place, it is not part of the on disk format. Hence we need to create a new header file that we centralise these related definitions. Start by moving the bffer operations structures, and then also move all the other definitions that have crept into xfs_log_format.h and xfs_format.h as there was no other shared header file to put them in.

Recent analysis of a deadlocked XFS filesystem from a kernel crash dump indicated that the filesystem was stuck waiting for log space. The short story of the hang on the RHEL6 kernel is this: - the tail of the log is pinned by an inode - the inode has been pushed by the xfsaild - the inode has been flushed to it's backing buffer and is currently flush locked and hence waiting for backing buffer IO to complete and remove it from the AIL - the backing buffer is marked for write - it is on the delayed write queue - the inode buffer has been modified directly and logged recently due to unlinked inode list modification - the backing buffer is pinned in memory as it is in the active CIL context. - the xfsbufd won't start buffer writeback because it is pinned - xfssyncd won't force the log because it sees the log as needing to be covered and hence wants to issue a dummy transaction to move the log covering state machine along. Hence there is no trigger to force the CIL to the log and hence unpin the inode buffer and therefore complete the inode IO, remove it from the AIL and hence move the tail of the log along, allowing transactions to start again. Mainline kernels also have the same deadlock, though the signature is slightly different - the inode buffer never reaches the delayed write lists because xfs_buf_item_push() sees that it is pinned and hence never adds it to the delayed write list that the xfsaild flushes. There are two possible solutions here. The first is to simply force the log before trying to cover the log and so ensure that the CIL is emptied before we try to reserve space for the dummy transaction in the xfs_log_worker(). While this might work most of the time, it is still racy and is no guarantee that we don't get stuck in xfs_trans_reserve waiting for log space to come free. Hence it's not the best way to solve the problem. The second solution is to modify xfs_log_need_covered() to be aware of the CIL. We only should be attempting to cover the log if there is no current activity in the log - covering the log is the process of ensuring that the head and tail in the log on disk are identical (i.e. the log is clean and at idle). Hence, by definition, if there are items in the CIL then the log is not at idle and so we don't need to attempt to cover it. When we don't need to cover the log because it is active or idle, we issue a log force from xfs_log_worker() - if the log is idle, then this does nothing. However, if the log is active due to there being items in the CIL, it will force the items in the CIL to the log and unpin them. In the case of the above deadlock scenario, instead of xfs_log_worker() getting stuck in xfs_trans_reserve() attempting to cover the log, it will instead force the log, thereby unpinning the inode buffer, allowing IO to be issued and complete and hence removing the inode that was pinning the tail of the log from the AIL. At that point, everything will start moving along again. i.e. the xfs_log_worker turns back into a watchdog that can alleviate deadlocks based around pinned items that prevent the tail of the log from being moved...

While testing and rearranging pquota/gquota code, I stumbled on a xfs_shutdown() during a mount. But the mount just hung. Debugged and found that there is a deadlock involving &log->l_cilp->xc_ctx_lock. It is in a code path where &log->l_cilp->xc_ctx_lock is first acquired in read mode and some levels down the same semaphore is being acquired in write mode causing a deadlock. This is the stack: xfs_log_commit_cil -> acquires &log->l_cilp->xc_ctx_lock in read mode xlog_print_tic_res xfs_force_shutdown xfs_log_force_umount xlog_cil_force xlog_cil_force_lsn xlog_cil_push_foreground xlog_cil_push - tries to acquire same semaphore in write mode This patch fixes the deadlock by changing the reason code for xfs_force_shutdown in xlog_print_tic_res() to SHUTDOWN_LOG_IO_ERROR. SHUTDOWN_LOG_IO_ERROR is the right reason code to be set since we are in the log path. Thanks to Dave for suggesting this solution.

And "ordered log vector" is a log vector that is used for tracking a log item through the CIL and into the AIL as part of the log checkpointing. These ordered log vectors are special in that they are not written to to journal in any way, and are not accounted to the checkpoint being written. The reason for this behaviour is to allow operations to attach items to transactions and have them follow the normal transactional lifecycle without actually having to write them to the journal. This allows logging of items that track high level logical changes and writing them to the log, while the physical items being modified pass through into the AIL and pin the tail of the log (and therefore the logical item in the log) until all the modified items are physically written to disk. IOWs, it allows us to write metadata without physically logging every individual change but still maintain the full transactional integrity guarantees we currently have w.r.t. crash recovery. This change modifies some of the CIL item insertion loops, as ordered log vectors introduce some new constraints as they don't track any data. One advantage of this change is that it combines two log vector chain walks into a single pass, so there is less overhead in the transaction commit pass as well. It also kills some unused code in the log vector walk loop when committing the CIL.

The direct IO path can do a nested transaction reservation when writing past the EOF. The first transaction is the append transaction for setting the filesize at IO completion, but we can also need a transaction for allocation of blocks. If the log is low on space due to reservations and small log, the append transaction can be granted after wating for space as the only active transaction in the system. This then attempts a reservation for an allocation, which there isn't space in the log for, and the reservation sleeps. The result is that there is nothing left in the system to wake up all the processes waiting for log space to come free. The stack trace that shows this deadlock is relatively innocuous: xlog_grant_head_wait xlog_grant_head_check xfs_log_reserve xfs_trans_reserve xfs_iomap_write_direct __xfs_get_blocks xfs_get_blocks_direct do_blockdev_direct_IO __blockdev_direct_IO xfs_vm_direct_IO generic_file_direct_write xfs_file_dio_aio_writ xfs_file_aio_write do_sync_write vfs_write This was discovered on a filesystem with a log of only 10MB, and a log stripe unit of 256k whih increased the base reservations by 512k. Hence a allocation transaction requires 1.2MB of log space to be available instead of only 260k, and so greatly increased the chance that there wouldn't be enough log space available for the nested transaction to succeed. The key to reproducing it is this mkfs command: mkfs.xfs -f -d agcount=16,su=256k,sw=12 -l su=256k,size=2560b $SCRATCH_DEV The test case was a 1000 fsstress processes running with random freeze and unfreezes every few seconds. Thanks to Eryu Guan (eguan@redhat.com) for writing the test that found this on a system with a somewhat unique default configuration.... cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: NDave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: NChristoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Reviewed-by: NAndrew Dahl <adahl@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: NBen Myers <bpm@sgi.com>

Implement CRCs for the log buffers. We re-use a field in struct xlog_rec_header that was used for a weak checksum of the log buffer payload in debug builds before. The new checksumming uses the crc32c checksum we will use elsewhere in XFS, and also protects the record header and addition cycle data. Due to this there are some interesting changes in xlog_sync, as we need to do the cycle wrapping for the split buffer case much earlier, as we would touch the buffer after generating the checksum otherwise. The CRC calculation is always enabled, even for non-CRC filesystems, as adding this CRC does not change the log format. On non-CRC filesystems, only issue an alert if a CRC mismatch is found and allow recovery to continue - this will act as an indicator that log recovery problems are a result of log corruption. On CRC enabled filesystems, however, log recovery will fail. Note that existing debug kernels will write a simple checksum value to the log, so the first time this is run on a filesystem taht was last used on a debug kernel it will through CRC mismatch warning errors. These can be ignored. Initially based on a patch from Dave Chinner, then modified significantly by Christoph Hellwig. Modified again by Dave Chinner to get to this version.

Add a verifier function callback capability to the buffer read interfaces. This will be used by the callers to supply a function that verifies the contents of the buffer when it is read from disk. This patch does not provide callback functions, but simply modifies the interfaces to allow them to be called. The reason for adding this to the read interfaces is that it is very difficult to tell fom the outside is a buffer was just read from disk or whether we just pulled it out of cache. Supplying a callbck allows the buffer cache to use it's internal knowledge of the buffer to execute it only when the buffer is read from disk. It is intended that the verifier functions will mark the buffer with an EFSCORRUPTED error when verification fails. This allows the reading context to distinguish a verification error from an IO error, and potentially take further actions on the buffer (e.g. attempt repair) based on the error reported.

The log write code stamps each iclog with the current tail LSN in the iclog header so that recovery knows where to find the tail of thelog once it has found the head. Normally this is taken from the first item on the AIL - the log item that corresponds to the oldest active item in the log. The problem is that when the AIL is empty, the tail lsn is dervied from the the l_last_sync_lsn, which is the LSN of the last iclog to be written to the log. In most cases this doesn't happen, because the AIL is rarely empty on an active filesystem. However, when it does, it opens up an interesting case when the transaction being committed to the iclog spans multiple iclogs. That is, the first iclog is stamped with the l_last_sync_lsn, and IO is issued. Then the next iclog is setup, the changes copied into the iclog (takes some time), and then the l_last_sync_lsn is stamped into the header and IO is issued. This is still the same transaction, so the tail lsn of both iclogs must be the same for log recovery to find the entire transaction to be able to replay it. The problem arises in that the iclog buffer IO completion updates the l_last_sync_lsn with it's own LSN. Therefore, If the first iclog completes it's IO before the second iclog is filled and has the tail lsn stamped in it, it will stamp the LSN of the first iclog into it's tail lsn field. If the system fails at this point, log recovery will not see a complete transaction, so the transaction will no be replayed. The fix is simple - the l_last_sync_lsn is updated when a iclog buffer IO completes, and this is incorrect. The l_last_sync_lsn shoul dbe updated when a transaction is completed by a iclog buffer IO. That is, only iclog buffers that have transaction commit callbacks attached to them should update the l_last_sync_lsn. This means that the last_sync_lsn will only move forward when a commit record it written, not in the middle of a large transaction that is rolling through multiple iclog buffers.

xfs_quiesce_attr() is supposed to leave the log empty with an unmount record written. Right now it does not wait for the AIL to be emptied before writing the unmount record, not does it wait for metadata IO completion, either. Fix it to use the same method and code as xfs_log_unmount().

With the syncd functions moved to the log and/or removed, the syncd workqueue is the only remaining bit left. It is used by the log covering/ail pushing work, as well as by the inode reclaim work. Given how cheap workqueues are these days, give the log and inode reclaim work their own work queues and kill the syncd work queue.

When unmounting the filesystem, there are lots of operations that need to be done in a specific order, and they are spread across across a couple of functions. We have to drain the AIL before we write the unmount record, and we have to shut down the background log work before we do either of them. But this is all split haphazardly across xfs_unmountfs() and xfs_log_unmount(). Move all the AIL flushing and log manipulations to xfs_log_unmount() so that the responisbilities of each function is clear and the operations they perform obvious.

The only thing the periodic sync work does now is flush the AIL and idle the log. These are really functions of the log code, so move the work to xfs_log.c and rename it appropriately. The only wart that this leaves behind is the xfssyncd_centisecs sysctl, otherwise the xfssyncd is dead. Clean up any comments that related to xfssyncd to reflect it's passing.
