2021-07-29xfs: prevent spoofing of rtbitmap blocks when recovering buffersDarrick J. Wong
While reviewing the buffer item recovery code, the thought occurred to me: in V5 filesystems we use log sequence number (LSN) tracking to avoid replaying older metadata updates against newer log items. However, we use the magic number of the ondisk buffer to find the LSN of the ondisk metadata, which means that if an attacker can control the layout of the realtime device precisely enough that the start of an rt bitmap block matches the magic and UUID of some other kind of block, they can control the purported LSN of that spoofed block and thereby break log replay. Since realtime bitmap and summary blocks don't have headers at all, we have no way to tell if a block really should be replayed. The best we can do is replay unconditionally and hope for the best.

2021-07-29xfs: limit iclog tail updatesDave Chinner
From the department of "generic/482 keeps on giving", we bring you another tail update race condition: iclog: S1 C1 +-----------------------+-----------------------+ S2 EOIC Two checkpoints in a single iclog. One is complete, the other just contains the start record and overruns into a new iclog. Timeline: Before S1: Cache flush, log tail = X At S1: Metadata stable, write start record and checkpoint At C1: Write commit record, set NEED_FUA Single iclog checkpoint, so no need for NEED_FLUSH Log tail still = X, so no need for NEED_FLUSH After C1, Before S2: Cache flush, log tail = X At S2: Metadata stable, write start record and checkpoint After S2: Log tail moves to X+1 At EOIC: End of iclog, more journal data to write Releases iclog Not a commit iclog, so no need for NEED_FLUSH Writes log tail X+1 into iclog. At this point, the iclog has tail X+1 and NEED_FUA set. There has been no cache flush for the metadata between X and X+1, and the iclog writes the new tail permanently to the log. THis is sufficient to violate on disk metadata/journal ordering. We have two options here. The first is to detect this case in some manner and ensure that the partial checkpoint write sets NEED_FLUSH when the iclog is already marked NEED_FUA and the log tail changes. This seems somewhat fragile and quite complex to get right, and it doesn't actually make it obvious what underlying problem it is actually addressing from reading the code. The second option seems much cleaner to me, because it is derived directly from the requirements of the C1 commit record in the iclog. That is, when we write this commit record to the iclog, we've guaranteed that the metadata/data ordering is correct for tail update purposes. Hence if we only write the log tail into the iclog for the *first* commit record rather than the log tail at the last release, we guarantee that the log tail does not move past where the the first commit record in the log expects it to be. IOWs, taking the first option means that replay of C1 becomes dependent on future operations doing the right thing, not just the C1 checkpoint itself doing the right thing. This makes log recovery almost impossible to reason about because now we have to take into account what might or might not have happened in the future when looking at checkpoints in the log rather than just having to reconstruct the past...

2021-07-29xfs: Enforce attr3 buffer recovery orderDave Chinner
From the department of "WTAF? How did we miss that!?"... When we are recovering a buffer, the first thing we do is check the buffer magic number and extract the LSN from the buffer. If the LSN is older than the current LSN, we replay the modification to it. If the metadata on disk is newer than the transaction in the log, we skip it. This is a fundamental v5 filesystem metadata recovery behaviour. generic/482 failed with an attribute writeback failure during log recovery. The write verifier caught the corruption before it got written to disk, and the attr buffer dump looked like: XFS (dm-3): Metadata corruption detected at xfs_attr3_leaf_verify+0x275/0x2e0, xfs_attr3_leaf block 0x19be8 XFS (dm-3): Unmount and run xfs_repair XFS (dm-3): First 128 bytes of corrupted metadata buffer: 00000000: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 3b ee 00 00 4d 2a 01 e1 ........;...M*.. 00000010: 00 00 00 00 00 01 9b e8 00 00 00 01 00 00 05 38 ...............8 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 00000020: df 39 5e 51 58 ac 44 b6 8d c5 e7 10 44 09 bc 17 .9^QX.D.....D... 00000030: 00 00 00 00 00 02 00 83 00 03 00 cc 0f 24 01 00 .............$.. 00000040: 00 68 0e bc 0f c8 00 10 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 .h.............. 00000050: 00 00 3c 31 0f 24 01 00 00 00 3c 32 0f 88 01 00 ..<1.$....<2.... 00000060: 00 00 3c 33 0f d8 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ..<3............ 00000070: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ ..... The highlighted bytes are the LSN that was replayed into the buffer: 0x100000538. This is cycle 1, block 0x538. Prior to replay, that block on disk looks like this: $ sudo xfs_db -c "fsb 0x417d" -c "type attr3" -c p /dev/mapper/thin-vol hdr.info.hdr.forw = 0 hdr.info.hdr.back = 0 hdr.info.hdr.magic = 0x3bee hdr.info.crc = 0xb5af0bc6 (correct) hdr.info.bno = 105448 hdr.info.lsn = 0x100000900 ^^^^^^^^^^^ hdr.info.uuid = df395e51-58ac-44b6-8dc5-e7104409bc17 hdr.info.owner = 131203 hdr.count = 2 hdr.usedbytes = 120 hdr.firstused = 3796 hdr.holes = 1 hdr.freemap[0-2] = [base,size] Note the LSN stamped into the buffer on disk: 1/0x900. The version on disk is much newer than the log transaction that was being replayed. That's a bug, and should -never- happen. So I immediately went to look at xlog_recover_get_buf_lsn() to check that we handled the LSN correctly. I was wondering if there was a similar "two commits with the same start LSN skips the second replay" problem with buffers. I didn't get that far, because I found a much more basic, rudimentary bug: xlog_recover_get_buf_lsn() doesn't recognise buffers with XFS_ATTR3_LEAF_MAGIC set in them!!! IOWs, attr3 leaf buffers fall through the magic number checks unrecognised, so trigger the "recover immediately" behaviour instead of undergoing an LSN check. IOWs, we incorrectly replay ATTR3 leaf buffers and that causes silent on disk corruption of inode attribute forks and potentially other things.... Git history shows this is *another* zero day bug, this time introduced in commit 50d5c8d8e938 ("xfs: check LSN ordering for v5 superblocks during recovery") which failed to handle the attr3 leaf buffers in recovery. And we've failed to handle them ever since... Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Reviewed-by: Darrick J.

2021-07-29xfs: logging the on disk inode LSN can make it go backwardsDave Chinner
When we log an inode, we format the "log inode" core and set an LSN in that inode core. We do that via xfs_inode_item_format_core(), which calls: xfs_inode_to_log_dinode(ip, dic, ip->i_itemp->ili_item.li_lsn); to format the log inode. It writes the LSN from the inode item into the log inode, and if recovery decides the inode item needs to be replayed, it recovers the log inode LSN field and writes it into the on disk inode LSN field. Now this might seem like a reasonable thing to do, but it is wrong on multiple levels. Firstly, if the item is not yet in the AIL, item->li_lsn is zero. i.e. the first time the inode it is logged and formatted, the LSN we write into the log inode will be zero. If we only log it once, recovery will run and can write this zero LSN into the inode. This means that the next time the inode is logged and log recovery runs, it will *always* replay changes to the inode regardless of whether the inode is newer on disk than the version in the log and that violates the entire purpose of recording the LSN in the inode at writeback time (i.e. to stop it going backwards in time on disk during recovery). Secondly, if we commit the CIL to the journal so the inode item moves to the AIL, and then relog the inode, the LSN that gets stamped into the log inode will be the LSN of the inode's current location in the AIL, not it's age on disk. And it's not the LSN that will be associated with the current change. That means when log recovery replays this inode item, the LSN that ends up on disk is the LSN for the previous changes in the log, not the current changes being replayed. IOWs, after recovery the LSN on disk is not in sync with the LSN of the modifications that were replayed into the inode. This, again, violates the recovery ordering semantics that on-disk writeback LSNs provide. Hence the inode LSN in the log dinode is -always- invalid. Thirdly, recovery actually has the LSN of the log transaction it is replaying right at hand - it uses it to determine if it should replay the inode by comparing it to the on-disk inode's LSN. But it doesn't use that LSN to stamp the LSN into the inode which will be written back when the transaction is fully replayed. It uses the one in the log dinode, which we know is always going to be incorrect. Looking back at the change history, the inode logging was broken by commit 93f958f9c41f ("xfs: cull unnecessary icdinode fields") way back in 2016 by a stupid idiot who thought he knew how this code worked. i.e. me. That commit replaced an in memory di_lsn field that was updated only at inode writeback time from the inode item.li_lsn value - and hence always contained the same LSN that appeared in the on-disk inode - with a read of the inode item LSN at inode format time. CLearly these are not the same thing. Before 93f958f9c41f, the log recovery behaviour was irrelevant, because the LSN in the log inode always matched the on-disk LSN at the time the inode was logged, hence recovery of the transaction would never make the on-disk LSN in the inode go backwards or get out of sync. A symptom of the problem is this, caught from a failure of generic/482. Before log recovery, the inode has been allocated but never used: xfs_db> inode 393388 xfs_db> p core.magic = 0x494e core.mode = 0 .... v3.crc = 0x99126961 (correct) v3.change_count = 0 v3.lsn = 0 v3.flags2 = 0 v3.cowextsize = 0 v3.crtime.sec = Thu Jan 1 10:00:00 1970 v3.crtime.nsec = 0 After log recovery: xfs_db> p core.magic = 0x494e core.mode = 020444 .... v3.crc = 0x23e68f23 (correct) v3.change_count = 2 v3.lsn = 0 v3.flags2 = 0 v3.cowextsize = 0 v3.crtime.sec = Thu Jul 22 17:03:03 2021 v3.crtime.nsec = 751000000 ... You can see that the LSN of the on-disk inode is 0, even though it clearly has been written to disk. I point out this inode, because the generic/482 failure occurred because several adjacent inodes in this specific inode cluster were not replayed correctly and still appeared to be zero on disk when all the other metadata (inobt, finobt, directories, etc) indicated they should be allocated and written back. The fix for this is two-fold. The first is that we need to either revert the LSN changes in 93f958f9c41f or stop logging the inode LSN altogether. If we do the former, log recovery does not need to change but we add 8 bytes of memory per inode to store what is largely a write-only inode field. If we do the latter, log recovery needs to stamp the on-disk inode in the same manner that inode writeback does. I prefer the latter, because we shouldn't really be trying to log and replay changes to the on disk LSN as the on-disk value is the canonical source of the on-disk version of the inode. It also matches the way we recover buffer items - we create a buf_log_item that carries the current recovery transaction LSN that gets stamped into the buffer by the write verifier when it gets written back when the transaction is fully recovered. However, this might break log recovery on older kernels even more, so I'm going to simply ignore the logged value in recovery and stamp the on-disk inode with the LSN of the transaction being recovered that will trigger writeback on transaction recovery completion. This will ensure that the on-disk inode LSN always reflects the LSN of the last change that was written to disk, regardless of whether it comes from log recovery or runtime writeback.

2021-07-29xfs: avoid unnecessary waits in xfs_log_force_lsn()Dave Chinner
Before waiting on a iclog in xfs_log_force_lsn(), we don't check to see if the iclog has already been completed and the contents on stable storage. We check for completed iclogs in xfs_log_force(), so we should do the same thing for xfs_log_force_lsn(). This fixed some random up-to-30s pauses seen in unmounting filesystems in some tests. A log force ends up waiting on completed iclog, and that doesn't then get flushed (and hence the log force get completed) until the background log worker issues a log force that flushes the iclog in question. Then the unmount unblocks and continues. Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Reviewed-by: Darrick J.

2021-07-29xfs: log forces imply data device cache flushesDave Chinner
After fixing the tail_lsn vs cache flush race, generic/482 continued to fail in a similar way where cache flushes were missing before iclog FUA writes. Tracing of iclog state changes during the fsstress workload portion of the test (via xlog_iclog* events) indicated that iclog writes were coming from two sources - CIL pushes and log forces (due to fsync/O_SYNC operations). All of the cases where a recovery problem was triggered indicated that the log force was the source of the iclog write that was not preceeded by a cache flush. This was an oversight in the modifications made in commit eef983ffeae7 ("xfs: journal IO cache flush reductions"). Log forces for fsync imply a data device cache flush has been issued if an iclog was flushed to disk and is indicated to the caller via the log_flushed parameter so they can elide the device cache flush if the journal issued one. The change in eef983ffeae7 results in iclogs only issuing a cache flush if XLOG_ICL_NEED_FLUSH is set on the iclog, but this was not added to the iclogs that the log force code flushes to disk. Hence log forces are no longer guaranteeing that a cache flush is issued, hence opening up a potential on-disk ordering failure. Log forces should also set XLOG_ICL_NEED_FUA as well to ensure that the actual iclogs it forces to the journal are also on stable storage before it returns to the caller. This patch introduces the xlog_force_iclog() helper function to encapsulate the process of taking a reference to an iclog, switching its state if WANT_SYNC and flushing it to stable storage correctly. Both xfs_log_force() and xfs_log_force_lsn() are converted to use it, as is xlog_unmount_write() which has an elaborate method of doing exactly the same "write this iclog to stable storage" operation. Further, if the log force code needs to wait on a iclog in the WANT_SYNC state, it needs to ensure that iclog also results in a cache flush being issued. This covers the case where the iclog contains the commit record of the CIL flush that the log force triggered, but it hasn't been written yet because there is still an active reference to the iclog. Note: this whole cache flush whack-a-mole patch is a result of log forces still being iclog state centric rather than being CIL sequence centric. Most of this nasty code will go away in future when log forces are converted to wait on CIL sequence push completion rather than iclog completion. With the CIL push algorithm guaranteeing that the CIL checkpoint is fully on stable storage when it completes, we no longer need to iterate iclogs and push them to ensure a CIL sequence push has completed and so all this nasty iclog iteration and flushing code will go away.

2021-07-29xfs: fix ordering violation between cache flushes and tail updatesDave Chinner
There is a race between the new CIL async data device metadata IO completion cache flush and the log tail in the iclog the flush covers being updated.

XFS (dm-3): metadata I/O error in "xlog_recover_items_pass2+0x55/0xc0" at daddr 0x37c00 len 32 error 117 Analysis of the logwrite replay shows that there were no writes to the data device between the FUA @ write 124 and the FUA at write @ 125, but log recovery @ 125 failed. The difference was the one log write @ 125 moved the tail of the log forwards from (1,8) to (1,32) and so the inode create intent in (1,8) was not replayed and so the inode cluster was zero on disk when replay of the first inode item in (1,32) was attempted. What this meant was that the journal write that occurred at @ 125 did not ensure that metadata completed before the iclog was written was correctly on stable storage. The tail of the log moved forward, so IO must have been completed between the two iclog writes. This means that there is a race condition between the unconditional async cache flush in the CIL push work and the tail LSN that is written to the iclog. This happens like so: CIL push work AIL push work ------------- ------------- Add to committing list start async data dev cache flush ..... <flush completes> <all writes to old tail lsn are stable> xlog_write .... push inode create buffer <start IO> ..... xlog_write(commit record) .... <IO completes> log tail moves xlog_assign_tail_lsn() start_lsn == commit_lsn <no iclog preflush!> xlog_state_release_iclog __xlog_state_release_iclog() <writes *new* tail_lsn into iclog> xlog_sync() .... submit_bio() <tail in log moves forward without flushing written metadata> Essentially, this can only occur if the commit iclog is issued without a cache flush. If the iclog bio is submitted with REQ_PREFLUSH, then it will guarantee that all the completed IO is one stable storage before the iclog bio with the new tail LSN in it is written to the log. IOWs, the tail lsn that is written to the iclog needs to be sampled *before* we issue the cache flush that guarantees all IO up to that LSN has been completed. To fix this without giving up the performance advantage of the flush/FUA optimisations (e.g. g/482 runtime halves with 5.14-rc1 compared to 5.13), we need to ensure that we always issue a cache flush if the tail LSN changes between the initial async flush and the commit record being written. THis requires sampling the tail_lsn before we start the flush, and then passing the sampled tail LSN to xlog_state_release_iclog() so it can determine if the the tail LSN has changed while writing the checkpoint. If the tail LSN has changed, then it needs to set the NEED_FLUSH flag on the iclog and we'll issue another cache flush before writing the iclog.

During a realtime grow operation, we run a single transaction for each rt bitmap block added to the filesystem. This means that each step has to be careful to increase sb_rblocks appropriately. Fix the integer overflow error in this calculation that can happen when the extent size is very large. Found by running growfs to add a rt volume to a filesystem formatted with a 1g rt extent size.

2021-07-15xfs: don't expose misaligned extszinherit hints to userspaceDarrick J. Wong
Commit 603f000b15f2 changed xfs_ioctl_setattr_check_extsize to reject an attempt to set an EXTSZINHERIT extent size hint on a directory with RTINHERIT set if the hint isn't a multiple of the realtime extent size. However, I have recently discovered that it is possible to change the realtime extent size when adding a rt device to a filesystem, which means that the existence of directories with misaligned inherited hints is not an accident. As a result, it's possible that someone could have set a valid hint and added an rt volume with a different rt extent size, which invalidates the ondisk hints. After such a sequence, FSGETXATTR will report a misaligned hint, which FSSETXATTR will trip over, causing confusion if the user was doing the usual GET/SET sequence to change some other attribute. Change xfs_fill_fsxattr to omit the hint if it isn't aligned properly. Fixes: 603f000b15f2 ("xfs: validate extsz hints against rt extent size when rtinherit is set") Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

2021-07-15xfs: correct the narrative around misaligned rtinherit/extszinherit dirsDarrick J. Wong
While auditing the realtime growfs code, I realized that the GROWFSRT ioctl (and by extension xfs_growfs) has always allowed sysadmins to change the realtime extent size when adding a realtime section to the filesystem. Since we also have always allowed sysadmins to set RTINHERIT and EXTSZINHERIT on directories even if there is no realtime device, this invalidates the premise laid out in the comments added in commit 603f000b15f2. In other words, this is not a case of inadequate metadata validation. This is a case of nearly forgotten (and apparently untested) but supported functionality. Update the comments to reflect what we've learned, and remove the log message about correcting the misalignment.

2021-07-15xfs: reset child dir '..' entry when unlinking childDarrick J. Wong
While running xfs/168, I noticed a second source of post-shrink corruption errors causing shutdowns. Let's say that directory B has a low inode number and is a child of directory A, which has a high number. If B is empty but open, and unlinked from A, B's dotdot link continues to point to A. If A is then unlinked and the filesystem shrunk so that A is no longer a valid inode, a subsequent AIL push of B will trip the inode verifiers because the dotdot entry points outside of the filesystem. To avoid this problem, reset B's dotdot entry to the root directory when unlinking directories, since the root directory cannot be removed. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

2021-07-15xfs: check for sparse inode clusters that cross new EOAG when shrinkingDarrick J. Wong
While running xfs/168, I noticed occasional write verifier shutdowns involving inodes at the very end of the filesystem. Existing inode btree validation code checks that all inode clusters are fully contained within the filesystem. However, due to inadequate checking in the fs shrink code, it's possible that there could be a sparse inode cluster at the end of the filesystem where the upper inodes of the cluster are marked as holes and the corresponding blocks are free. In this case, the last blocks in the AG are listed in the bnobt. This enables the shrink to proceed but results in a filesystem that trips the inode verifiers. Fix this by disallowing the shrink.

2021-06-25xfs: don't wait on future iclogs when pushing the CILDave Chinner
The iclogbuf ring attached to the struct xlog is circular, hence the first and last iclogs in the ring can only be determined by comparing them against the log->l_iclog pointer. In xfs_cil_push_work(), we want to wait on previous iclogs that were issued so that we can flush them to stable storage with the commit record write, and it simply waits on the previous iclog in the ring. This, however, leads to CIL push hangs in generic/019 like so: task:kworker/u33:0 state:D stack:12680 pid: 7 ppid: 2 flags:0x00004000 Workqueue: xfs-cil/pmem1 xlog_cil_push_work Call Trace: __schedule+0x30b/0x9f0 schedule+0x68/0xe0 xlog_wait_on_iclog+0x121/0x190 ? wake_up_q+0xa0/0xa0 xlog_cil_push_work+0x994/0xa10 ? _raw_spin_lock+0x15/0x20 ? xfs_swap_extents+0x920/0x920 process_one_work+0x1ab/0x390 worker_thread+0x56/0x3d0 ? rescuer_thread+0x3c0/0x3c0 kthread+0x14d/0x170 ? __kthread_bind_mask+0x70/0x70 ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x30 With other threads blocking in either xlog_state_get_iclog_space() waiting for iclog space or xlog_grant_head_wait() waiting for log reservation space. The problem here is that the previous iclog on the ring might actually be a future iclog. That is, if log->l_iclog points at commit_iclog, commit_iclog is the first (oldest) iclog in the ring and there are no previous iclogs pending as they have all completed their IO and been activated again. IOWs, commit_iclog->ic_prev points to an iclog that will be written in the future, not one that has been written in the past. Hence, in this case, waiting on the ->ic_prev iclog is incorrect behaviour, and depending on the state of the future iclog, we can end up with a circular ABA wait cycle and we hang. The fix is made more complex by the fact that many iclogs states cannot be used to determine if the iclog is a past or future iclog. Hence we have to determine past iclogs by checking the LSN of the iclog rather than their state. A past ACTIVE iclog will have a LSN of zero, while a future ACTIVE iclog will have a LSN greater than the current iclog. We don't wait on either of these cases. Similarly, a future iclog that hasn't completed IO will have an LSN greater than the current iclog and so we don't wait on them. A past iclog that is still undergoing IO completion will have a LSN less than the current iclog and those are the only iclogs that we need to wait on. Hence we can use the iclog LSN to determine what iclogs we need to wait on here.

2021-06-25xfs: Fix a CIL UAF by getting get rid of the iclog callback lockDave Chinner
The iclog callback chain has it's own lock. That was added way back in 2008 by myself to alleviate severe lock contention on the icloglock in commit 114d23aae512 ("[XFS] Per iclog callback chain lock"). This was long before delayed logging took the icloglock out of the hot transaction commit path and removed all contention on it. Hence the separate ic_callback_lock doesn't serve any scalability purpose anymore, and hasn't for close on a decade. Further, we only attach callbacks to iclogs in one place where we are already taking the icloglock soon after attaching the callbacks. We also have to drop the icloglock to run callbacks and grab it immediately afterwards again. So given that the icloglock is no longer hot, making it cover callbacks again doesn't really change the locking patterns very much at all. We also need to extend the icloglock to cover callback addition to fix a zero-day UAF in the CIL push code. This occurs when shutdown races with xlog_cil_push_work() and the shutdown runs the callbacks before the push releases the iclog. This results in the CIL context structure attached to the iclog being freed by the callback before the CIL push has finished referencing it, leading to UAF bugs. Hence, to avoid this UAF, we need the callback attachment to be atomic with post processing of the commit iclog and references to the structures being attached to the iclog. This requires holding the icloglock as that's the only way to serialise iclog state against a shutdown in progress. The result is we need to be using the icloglock to protect the callback list addition and removal and serialise them with shutdown. That makes the ic_callback_lock redundant and so it can be removed.

2021-06-25xfs: remove callback dequeue loop from xlog_state_do_iclog_callbacksDave Chinner
If we are processing callbacks on an iclog, nothing can be concurrently adding callbacks to the loop. We only add callbacks to the iclog when they are in ACTIVE or WANT_SYNC state, and we explicitly do not add callbacks if the iclog is already in IOERROR state. The only way to have a dequeue racing with an enqueue is to be processing a shutdown without a direct reference to an iclog in ACTIVE or WANT_SYNC state. As the enqueue avoids this race condition, we only ever need a single dequeue operation in xlog_state_do_iclog_callbacks(). Hence we can remove the loop.

The associated log items were pinned, written to the log, and then "uncommitted" if some part of the log write had failed. This uncommit sequence called an ->iop_unpin_remove() handler that was eventually folded into ->iop_unpin() via the remove parameter. The log subsystem has since changed significantly in that transactions commit to the CIL instead of direct to iclogs, though log items must still be aborted in the event of an eventual log I/O error. However, the context for a log item abort is now asynchronous from transaction commit, which means the committing transaction has been freed by this point in time and the transaction uncommit sequence of events is no longer relevant. Further, since stale buffers remain locked at transaction commit through unpin, we can be certain that the buffer is not associated with any transaction when the unpin callback executes. Remove this unused hunk of code and replace it with an assertion that the buffer is disassociated from transaction context. Signed-off-by: Brian Foster <bfoster@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Darrick J.

2021-06-21xfs: hold buffer across unpin and potential shutdown processingBrian Foster
The special processing used to simulate a buffer I/O failure on fs shutdown has a difficult to reproduce race that can result in a use after free of the associated buffer. Consider a buffer that has been committed to the on-disk log and thus is AIL resident. The buffer lands on the writeback delwri queue, but is subsequently locked, committed and pinned by another transaction before submitted for I/O. At this point, the buffer is stuck on the delwri queue as it cannot be submitted for I/O until it is unpinned. A log checkpoint I/O failure occurs sometime later, which aborts the bli. The unpin handler is called with the aborted log item, drops the bli reference count, the pin count, and falls into the I/O failure simulation path. The potential problem here is that once the pin count falls to zero in ->iop_unpin(), xfsaild is free to retry delwri submission of the buffer at any time, before the unpin handler even completes. If delwri queue submission wins the race to the buffer lock, it observes the shutdown state and simulates the I/O failure itself. This releases both the bli and delwri queue holds and frees the buffer while xfs_buf_item_unpin() sits on xfs_buf_lock() waiting to run through the same failure sequence. This problem is rare and requires many iterations of fstest generic/019 (which simulates disk I/O failures) to reproduce. To avoid this problem, grab a hold on the buffer before the log item is unpinned if the associated item has been aborted and will require a simulated I/O failure. The hold is already required for the simulated I/O failure, so the ordering simply guarantees the unpin handler access to the buffer before it is unpinned and thus processed by the AIL. This particular ordering is required so long as the AIL does not acquire a reference on the bli, which is the long term solution to this problem.

2021-06-21xfs: force the log offline when log intent item recovery failsDarrick J. Wong
If any part of log intent item recovery fails, we should shut down the log immediately to stop the log from writing a clean unmount record to disk, because the metadata is not consistent. The inability to cancel a dirty transaction catches most of these cases, but there are a few things that have slipped through the cracks, such as ENOSPC from a transaction allocation, or runtime errors that result in cancellation of a non-dirty transaction. This solves some weird behaviors reported by customers where a system goes down, the first mount fails, the second succeeds, but then the fs goes down later because of inconsistent metadata.

2021-06-21xfs: fix log intent recovery ENOSPC shutdowns when inactivating inodesDarrick J. Wong
During regular operation, the xfs_inactive operations create transactions with zero block reservation because in general we're freeing space, not asking for more. The per-AG space reservations created at mount time enable us to handle expansions of the refcount btree without needing to reserve blocks to the transaction. Unfortunately, log recovery doesn't create the per-AG space reservations when intent items are being recovered. This isn't an issue for intent item recovery itself because they explicitly request blocks, but any inode inactivation that can happen during log recovery uses the same xfs_inactive paths as regular runtime. If a refcount btree expansion happens, the transaction will fail due to blk_res_used > blk_res, and we shut down the filesystem unnecessarily. Fix this problem by making per-AG reservations temporarily so that we can handle the inactivations, and releasing them at the end. This brings the recovery environment closer to the runtime environment. Signed-off-by: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>

2021-06-21xfs: xfs_log_force_lsn isn't passed a LSNDave Chinner
In doing an investigation into AIL push stalls, I was looking at the log force code to see if an async CIL push could be done instead. This lead me to xfs_log_force_lsn() and looking at how it works. xfs_log_force_lsn() is only called from inode synchronisation contexts such as fsync(), and it takes the ip->i_itemp->ili_last_lsn value as the LSN to sync the log to. This gets passed to xlog_cil_force_lsn() via xfs_log_force_lsn() to flush the CIL to the journal, and then used by xfs_log_force_lsn() to flush the iclogs to the journal. The problem is that ip->i_itemp->ili_last_lsn does not store a log sequence number. What it stores is passed to it from the ->iop_committing method, which is called by xfs_log_commit_cil(). The value this passes to the iop_committing method is the CIL context sequence number that the item was committed to. As it turns out, xlog_cil_force_lsn() converts the sequence to an actual commit LSN for the related context and returns that to xfs_log_force_lsn(). xfs_log_force_lsn() overwrites it's "lsn" variable that contained a sequence with an actual LSN and then uses that to sync the iclogs. This caused me some confusion for a while, even though I originally wrote all this code a decade ago. ->iop_committing is only used by a couple of log item types, and only inode items use the sequence number it is passed. Let's clean up the API, CIL structures and inode log item to call it a sequence number, and make it clear that the high level code is using CIL sequence numbers and not on-disk LSNs for integrity synchronisation purposes.

2021-06-21xfs: Fix CIL throttle hang when CIL space used going backwardsDave Chinner
A hang with tasks stuck on the CIL hard throttle was reported and largely diagnosed by Donald Buczek, who discovered that it was a result of the CIL context space usage decrementing in committed transactions once the hard throttle limit had been hit and processes were already blocked. This resulted in the CIL push not waking up those waiters because the CIL context was no longer over the hard throttle limit. The surprising aspect of this was the CIL space usage going backwards regularly enough to trigger this situation. Assumptions had been made in design that the relogging process would only increase the size of the objects in the CIL, and so that space would only increase. This change and commit message fixes the issue and documents the result of an audit of the triggers that can cause the CIL space to go backwards, how large the backwards steps tend to be, the frequency in which they occur, and what the impact on the CIL accounting code is. Even though the CIL ctx->space_used can go backwards, it will only do so if the log item is already logged to the CIL and contains a space reservation for it's entire logged state. This is tracked by the shadow buffer state on the log item. If the item is not previously logged in the CIL it has no shadow buffer nor log vector, and hence the entire size of the logged item copied to the log vector is accounted to the CIL space usage. i.e. it will always go up in this case. If the item has a log vector (i.e. already in the CIL) and the size decreases, then the existing log vector will be overwritten and the space usage will go down. This is the only condition where the space usage reduces, and it can only occur when an item is already tracked in the CIL. Hence we are safe from CIL space usage underruns as a result of log items decreasing in size when they are relogged. Typically this reduction in CIL usage occurs from metadata blocks being free, such as when a btree block merge occurs or a directory enter/xattr entry is removed and the da-tree is reduced in size. This generally results in a reduction in size of around a single block in the CIL, but also tends to increase the number of log vectors because the parent and sibling nodes in the tree needs to be updated when a btree block is removed. If a multi-level merge occurs, then we see reduction in size of 2+ blocks, but again the log vector count goes up. The other vector is inode fork size changes, which only log the current size of the fork and ignore the previously logged size when the fork is relogged. Hence if we are removing items from the inode fork (dir/xattr removal in shortform, extent record removal in extent form, etc) the relogged size of the inode for can decrease. No other log items can decrease in size either because they are a fixed size (e.g. dquots) or they cannot be relogged (e.g. relogging an intent actually creates a new intent log item and doesn't relog the old item at all.) Hence the only two vectors for CIL context size reduction are relogging inode forks and marking buffers active in the CIL as stale. Long story short: the majority of the code does the right thing and handles the reduction in log item size correctly, and only the CIL hard throttle implementation is problematic and needs fixing. This patch makes that fix, as well as adds comments in the log item code that result in items shrinking in size when they are relogged as a clear reminder that this can and does happen frequently. The throttle fix is based upon the change Donald proposed, though it goes further to ensure that once the throttle is activated, it captures all tasks until the CIL push issues a wakeup, regardless of whether the CIL space used has gone back under the throttle threshold. This ensures that we prevent tasks reducing the CIL slightly under the throttle threshold and then making more changes that push it well over the throttle limit. This is acheived by checking if the throttle wait queue is already active as a condition of throttling. Hence once we start throttling, we continue to apply the throttle until the CIL context push wakes everything on the wait queue. We can use waitqueue_active() for the waitqueue manipulations and checks as they are all done under the ctx->xc_push_lock. Hence the waitqueue has external serialisation and we can safely peek inside the wait queue without holding the internal waitqueue locks. Many thanks to Donald for his diagnostic and analysis work to isolate the cause of this hang.

2021-06-21xfs: journal IO cache flush reductionsDave Chinner
Currently every journal IO is issued as REQ_PREFLUSH | REQ_FUA to guarantee the ordering requirements the journal has w.r.t. metadata writeback. THe two ordering constraints are: 1. we cannot overwrite metadata in the journal until we guarantee that the dirty metadata has been written back in place and is stable. 2. we cannot write back dirty metadata until it has been written to the journal and guaranteed to be stable (and hence recoverable) in the journal. The ordering guarantees of #1 are provided by REQ_PREFLUSH. This causes the journal IO to issue a cache flush and wait for it to complete before issuing the write IO to the journal. Hence all completed metadata IO is guaranteed to be stable before the journal overwrites the old metadata. The ordering guarantees of #2 are provided by the REQ_FUA, which ensures the journal writes do not complete until they are on stable storage. Hence by the time the last journal IO in a checkpoint completes, we know that the entire checkpoint is on stable storage and we can unpin the dirty metadata and allow it to be written back. This is the mechanism by which ordering was first implemented in XFS way back in 2002 by commit 95d97c36e5155075ba2eb22b17562cfcc53fcf96 ("Add support for drive write cache flushing") in the xfs-archive tree. A lot has changed since then, most notably we now use delayed logging to checkpoint the filesystem to the journal rather than write each individual transaction to the journal. Cache flushes on journal IO are necessary when individual transactions are wholly contained within a single iclog. However, CIL checkpoints are single transactions that typically span hundreds to thousands of individual journal writes, and so the requirements for device cache flushing have changed. That is, the ordering rules I state above apply to ordering of atomic transactions recorded in the journal, not to the journal IO itself. Hence we need to ensure metadata is stable before we start writing a new transaction to the journal (guarantee #1), and we need to ensure the entire transaction is stable in the journal before we start metadata writeback (guarantee #2). Hence we only need a REQ_PREFLUSH on the journal IO that starts a new journal transaction to provide #1, and it is not on any other journal IO done within the context of that journal transaction. The CIL checkpoint already issues a cache flush before it starts writing to the log, so we no longer need the iclog IO to issue a REQ_REFLUSH for us. Hence if XLOG_START_TRANS is passed to xlog_write(), we no longer need to mark the first iclog in the log write with REQ_PREFLUSH for this case. As an added bonus, this ordering mechanism works for both internal and external logs, meaning we can remove the explicit data device cache flushes from the iclog write code when using external logs. Given the new ordering semantics of commit records for the CIL, we need iclogs containing commit records to issue a REQ_PREFLUSH. We also require unmount records to do this. Hence for both XLOG_COMMIT_TRANS and XLOG_UNMOUNT_TRANS xlog_write() calls we need to mark the first iclog being written with REQ_PREFLUSH. For both commit records and unmount records, we also want them immediately on stable storage, so we want to also mark the iclogs that contain these records to be marked REQ_FUA. That means if a record is split across multiple iclogs, they are all marked REQ_FUA and not just the last one so that when the transaction is completed all the parts of the record are on stable storage. And for external logs, unmount records need a pre-write data device cache flush similar to the CIL checkpoint cache pre-flush as the internal iclog write code does not do this implicitly anymore. As an optimisation, when the commit record lands in the same iclog as the journal transaction starts, we don't need to wait for anything and can simply use REQ_FUA to provide guarantee #2. This means that for fsync() heavy workloads, the cache flush behaviour is completely unchanged and there is no degradation in performance as a result of optimise the multi-IO transaction case. The most notable sign that there is less IO latency on my test machine (nvme SSDs) is that the "noiclogs" rate has dropped substantially. This metric indicates that the CIL push is blocking in xlog_get_iclog_space() waiting for iclog IO completion to occur. With 8 iclogs of 256kB, the rate is appoximately 1 noiclog event to every 4 iclog writes. IOWs, every 4th call to xlog_get_iclog_space() is blocking waiting for log IO. With the changes in this patch, this drops to 1 noiclog event for every 100 iclog writes. Hence it is clear that log IO is completing much faster than it was previously, but it is also clear that for large iclog sizes, this isn't the performance limiting factor on this hardware. With smaller iclogs (32kB), however, there is a substantial difference. With the cache flush modifications, the journal is now running at over 4000 write IOPS, and the journal throughput is largely identical to the 256kB iclogs and the noiclog event rate stays low at about 1:50 iclog writes. The existing code tops out at about 2500 IOPS as the number of cache flushes dominate performance and latency. The noiclog event rate is about 1:4, and the performance variance is quite large as the journal throughput can fall to less than half the peak sustained rate when the cache flush rate prevents metadata writeback from keeping up and the log runs out of space and throttles reservations. As a result: logbsize fsmark create rate rm -rf before 32kb 152851+/-5.3e+04 5m28s patched 32kb 221533+/-1.1e+04 5m24s before 256kb 220239+/-6.2e+03 4m58s patched 256kb 228286+/-9.2e+03 5m06s The rm -rf times are included because I ran them, but the differences are largely noise. This workload is largely metadata read IO latency bound and the changes to the journal cache flushing doesn't really make any noticable difference to behaviour apart from a reduction in noiclog events from background CIL pushing.

2021-06-21xfs: CIL checkpoint flushes caches unconditionallyDave Chinner
Currently every journal IO is issued as REQ_PREFLUSH | REQ_FUA to guarantee the ordering requirements the journal has w.r.t. metadata writeback. THe two ordering constraints are: 1. we cannot overwrite metadata in the journal until we guarantee that the dirty metadata has been written back in place and is stable. 2. we cannot write back dirty metadata until it has been written to the journal and guaranteed to be stable (and hence recoverable) in the journal. These rules apply to the atomic transactions recorded in the journal, not to the journal IO itself. Hence we need to ensure metadata is stable before we start writing a new transaction to the journal (guarantee #1), and we need to ensure the entire transaction is stable in the journal before we start metadata writeback (guarantee #2). The ordering guarantees of #1 are currently provided by REQ_PREFLUSH being added to every iclog IO. This causes the journal IO to issue a cache flush and wait for it to complete before issuing the write IO to the journal. Hence all completed metadata IO is guaranteed to be stable before the journal overwrites the old metadata. However, for long running CIL checkpoints that might do a thousand journal IOs, we don't need every single one of these iclog IOs to issue a cache flush - the cache flush done before the first iclog is submitted is sufficient to cover the entire range in the log that the checkpoint will overwrite because the CIL space reservation guarantees the tail of the log (completed metadata) is already beyond the range of the checkpoint write. Hence we only need a full cache flush between closing off the CIL checkpoint context (i.e. when the push switches it out) and issuing the first journal IO. Rather than plumbing this through to the journal IO, we can start this cache flush the moment the CIL context is owned exclusively by the push worker. The cache flush can be in progress while we process the CIL ready for writing, hence reducing the latency of the initial iclog write. This is especially true for large checkpoints, where we might have to process hundreds of thousands of log vectors before we issue the first iclog write. In these cases, it is likely the cache flush has already been completed by the time we have built the CIL log vector chain.
