A long time ago in a galaxy far away....
.. the was a commit made to fix some ilinux specific "fragmented
buffer" log recovery problem:
http://oss.sgi.com/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=archive/xfs-import.git;a=commitdiff;h=b29c0bece51da72fb3ff3b61391a391ea54e1603
That problem occurred when a contiguous dirty region of a buffer was
split across across two pages of an unmapped buffer. It's been a
long time since that has been done in XFS, and the changes to log
the entire inode buffers for CRC enabled filesystems has
re-introduced that corner case.
And, of course, it turns out that the above commit didn't actually
fix anything - it just ensured that log recovery is guaranteed to
fail when this situation occurs. And now for the gory details.
xfstest xfs/085 is failing with this assert:
XFS (vdb): bad number of regions (0) in inode log format
XFS: Assertion failed: 0, file: fs/xfs/xfs_log_recover.c, line: 1583
Largely undocumented factoid #1: Log recovery depends on all log
buffer format items starting with this format:
struct foo_log_format {
__uint16_t type;
__uint16_t size;
....
As recoery uses the size field and assumptions about 32 bit
alignment in decoding format items. So don't pay much attention to
the fact log recovery thinks that it decoding an inode log format
item - it just uses them to determine what the size of the item is.
But why would it see a log format item with a zero size? Well,
luckily enough xfs_logprint uses the same code and gives the same
error, so with a bit of gdb magic, it turns out that it isn't a log
format that is being decoded. What logprint tells us is this:
Oper (130): tid: a0375e1a len: 28 clientid: TRANS flags: none
BUF: #regs: 2 start blkno: 144 (0x90) len: 16 bmap size: 2 flags: 0x4000

BUF DATA
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oper (132): tid: a0375e1a len: 4096 clientid: TRANS flags: none
xfs_logprint: unknown log operation type (4e49)
**********************************************************************
* ERROR: data block=2 *
**********************************************************************
That we've got a buffer format item (oper 130) that has two regions;
the format item itself and one dirty region. The subsequent region
after the buffer format item and it's data is them what we are
tripping over, and the first bytes of it at an inode magic number.
Not a log opheader like there is supposed to be.
That means there's a problem with the buffer format item. It's dirty
data region is 4096 bytes, and it contains - you guessed it -
initialised inodes. But inode buffers are 8k, not 4k, and we log
them in their entirety. So something is wrong here. The buffer
format item contains:
(gdb) p /x *(struct xfs_buf_log_format *)in_f
$22 = {blf_type = 0x123c, blf_size = 0x2, blf_flags = 0x4000,
blf_len = 0x10, blf_blkno = 0x90, blf_map_size = 0x2,
blf_data_map = {0xffffffff, 0xffffffff, .... }}
Two regions, and a signle dirty contiguous region of 64 bits. 64 *
128 = 8k, so this should be followed by a single 8k region of data.
And the blf_flags tell us that the type of buffer is a
XFS_BLFT_DINO_BUF. It contains inodes. And because it doesn't have
the XFS_BLF_INODE_BUF flag set, that means it's an inode allocation
buffer. So, it should be followed by 8k of inode data.
But we know that the next region has a header of:
(gdb) p /x *ohead
$25 = {oh_tid = 0x1a5e37a0, oh_len = 0x100000, oh_clientid = 0x69,
oh_flags = 0x0, oh_res2 = 0x0}
and so be32_to_cpu(oh_len) = 0x1000 = 4096 bytes. It's simply not
long enough to hold all the logged data. There must be another
region. There is - there's a following opheader for another 4k of
data that contains the other half of the inode cluster data - the
one we assert fail on because it's not a log format header.
So why is the second part of the data not being accounted to the
correct buffer log format structure? It took a little more work with
gdb to work out that the buffer log format structure was both
expecting it to be there but hadn't accounted for it. It was at that
point I went to the kernel code, as clearly this wasn't a bug in
xfs_logprint and the kernel was writing bad stuff to the log.
First port of call was the buffer item formatting code, and the
discontiguous memory/contiguous dirty region handling code
immediately stood out. I've wondered for a long time why the code
had this comment in it:
vecp->i_addr = xfs_buf_offset(bp, buffer_offset);
vecp->i_len = nbits * XFS_BLF_CHUNK;
vecp->i_type = XLOG_REG_TYPE_BCHUNK;
/*
* You would think we need to bump the nvecs here too, but we do not
* this number is used by recovery, and it gets confused by the boundary
* split here
* nvecs++;
*/
vecp++;
And it didn't account for the extra vector pointer. The case being
handled here is that a contiguous dirty region lies across a
boundary that cannot be memcpy()d across, and so has to be split
into two separate operations for xlog_write() to perform.
What this code assumes is that what is written to the log is two
consecutive blocks of data that are accounted in the buf log format
item as the same contiguous dirty region and so will get decoded as
such by the log recovery code.
The thing is, xlog_write() knows nothing about this, and so just
does it's normal thing of adding an opheader for each vector. That
means the 8k region gets written to the log as two separate regions
of 4k each, but because nvecs has not been incremented, the buf log
format item accounts for only one of them.
Hence when we come to log recovery, we process the first 4k region
and then expect to come across a new item that starts with a log
format structure of some kind that tells us whenteh next data is
going to be. Instead, we hit raw buffer data and things go bad real
quick.
So, the commit from 2002 that commented out nvecs++ is just plain
wrong. It breaks log recovery completely, and it would seem the only
reason this hasn't been since then is that we don't log large
contigous regions of multi-page unmapped buffers very often. Never
would be a closer estimate, at least until the CRC code came along....
So, lets fix that by restoring the nvecs accounting for the extra
region when we hit this case.....
.... and there's the problemin log recovery it is apparently working
around:
XFS: Assertion failed: i == item->ri_total, file: fs/xfs/xfs_log_recover.c, line: 2135
Yup, xlog_recover_do_reg_buffer() doesn't handle contigous dirty
regions being broken up into multiple regions by the log formatting
code. That's an easy fix, though - if the number of contiguous dirty
bits exceeds the length of the region being copied out of the log,
only account for the number of dirty bits that region covers, and
then loop again and copy more from the next region. It's a 2 line
fix.
Now xfstests xfs/085 passes, we have one less piece of mystery
code, and one more important piece of knowledge about how to
structure new log format items..

The buffer pinned check and trylock sequence in xfs_buf_item_push()
can race with an active transaction on marking the buffer pinned.
This can result in the buffer becoming pinned and stale after the
initial check and the trylock failure, but before the check in
xfs_buf_trylock() that issues a log force. If the log force is
issued from this context, a spinlock recursion occurs on xa_lock.
Prepare xfs_buf_item_push() to handle the race by detecting a
pinned buffer after the trylock failure so xfsaild issues a log
force from a safe context. This, along with various previous fixes,
renders the log force in xfs_buf_trylock() redundant.

When the new inode verify in xfs_iread() fails, the create
transaction is aborted and a shutdown occurs. The subsequent unmount
then hangs in xfs_wait_buftarg() on a buffer that has an elevated
hold count. Debug showed that it was an AGI buffer getting stuck:
[ 22.576147] XFS (vdb): buffer 0x2/0x1, hold 0x2 stuck

[ 23.776325] XFS (vdb): buffer 0x2/0x1, hold 0x2 stuck

And that is the AGI buffer from cold cache read into memory to
transaction abort. You can see at transaction abort the bli is dirty
and only has a single reference. The item is not pinned, and it's
not in the AIL. Hence the only reference to it is this transaction.
The problem is that the xfs_buf_item_unlock() call is dropping the
last reference to the xfs_buf_log_item attached to the buffer (which
holds a reference to the buffer), but it is not freeing the
xfs_buf_log_item. Hence nothing will ever release the buffer, and
the unmount hangs waiting for this reference to go away.
The fix is simple - xfs_buf_item_unlock needs to detect the last
reference going away in this case and free the xfs_buf_log_item to
release the reference it holds on the buffer.

When we shut down the filesystem, we have to unpin and free all the
buffers currently active in the CIL. To do this we unpin and remove
them in one operation as a result of a failed iclogbuf write. For
buffers, we do this removal via a simultated IO completion of after
marking the buffer stale.
At the time we do this, we have two references to the buffer - the
active LRU reference and the buf log item. The LRU reference is
removed by marking the buffer stale, and the active CIL reference is
by the xfs_buf_iodone() callback that is run by
xfs_buf_do_callbacks() during ioend processing (via the bp->b_iodone
callback).
However, ioend processing requires one more reference - that of the
IO that it is completing. We don't have this reference, so we free
the buffer prematurely and use it after it is freed. For buffers
marked with XBF_ASYNC, this leads to assert failures in
xfs_buf_rele() on debug kernels because the b_hold count is zero.
Fix this by making sure we take the necessary IO reference before
starting IO completion processing on the stale buffer, and set the
XBF_ASYNC flag to ensure that IO completion processing removes all
the active references from the buffer to ensure it is fully torn
down.

discontigous buffer in separate buffer format structures. This means log
recovery will recover all the changes on a per segment basis without
requiring any knowledge of the fact that it was logged from a
compound buffer.
To do this, we need to be able to determine what buffer segment any
given offset into the compound buffer sits over. This enables us to
translate the dirty bitmap in the number of separate buffer format
structures required.
We also need to be able to determine the number of bitmap elements
that a given buffer segment has, as this determines the size of the
buffer format structure. Hence we need to be able to determine the
both the start offset into the buffer and the length of a given
segment to be able to calculate this.
With this information, we can preallocate, build and format the
correct log vector array for each segment in a compound buffer to
appear exactly the same as individually logged buffers in the log.

The struct xfs_buf_log_format wants to think the dirty bitmap is
variable sized. In fact, it is variable size on disk simply due to
the way we map it from the in-memory structure, but we still just
use a fixed size memory allocation for the in-memory structure.
Hence it makes no sense to set the function up as a variable sized
structure when we already know it's maximum size, and we always
allocate it as such. Simplify the structure by making the dirty
bitmap a fixed sized array and just using the size of the structure
for the allocation size.
This will make it much simpler to allocate and manipulate an array
of format structures for discontiguous buffer support.
The previous struct xfs_buf_log_item size according to
/proc/slabinfo was 224 bytes. pahole doesn't give the same size
because of the variable size definition. With this modification,
pahole reports the same as /proc/slabinfo:
/* size: 224, cachelines: 4, members: 6 */
Because the xfs_buf_log_item size is now determined by the maximum
supported block size we introduce a dependency on xfs_alloc_btree.h.
Avoid this dependency by moving the idefines for the maximum block
sizes supported to xfs_types.h with all the other max/min type
defines to avoid any new dependencies.

Now that we pass block counts everywhere, and index buffers by block
number and length in units of blocks, convert the desired IO size
into block counts rather than bytes. Convert the code to use block
counts, and those that need byte counts get converted at the time of
use.
Rename the b_desired_count variable to something closer to it's
purpose - b_io_length - as it is only used to specify the length of
an IO for a subset of the buffer. The only time this is used is for
log IO - both writing iclogs and during log recovery. In all other
cases, the b_io_length matches b_length, and hence a lot of code
confuses the two. e.g. the buf item code uses the io count
exclusively when it should be using the buffer length. Fix these
apprpriately as they are found.
Also, remove the XFS_BUF_{SET_}COUNT() macros that are just wrappers
around the desired IO length. They only serve to make the code
shouty loud, don't actually add any real value, and are often used

Queue delwri buffers on a local on-stack list instead of a per-buftarg one,
and write back the buffers per-process instead of by waking up xfsbufd.
This is now easily doable given that we have very few places left that write
delwri buffers:
- log recovery:
Only done at mount time, and already forcing out the buffers
synchronously using xfs_flush_buftarg
- quotacheck:
Same story.
- dquot reclaim:
Writes out dirty dquots on the LRU under memory pressure. We might
want to look into doing more of this via xfsaild, but it's already
more optimal than the synchronous inode reclaim that writes each
buffer synchronously.
- xfsaild:
This is the main beneficiary of the change. By keeping a local list
of buffers to write we reduce latency of writing out buffers, and
more importably we can remove all the delwri list promotions which
were hitting the buffer cache hard under sustained metadata loads.
The implementation is very straight forward - xfs_buf_delwri_queue now gets
a new list_head pointer that it adds the delwri buffers to, and all callers
need to eventually submit the list using xfs_buf_delwi_submit or
xfs_buf_delwi_submit_nowait. Buffers that already are on a delwri list are
skipped in xfs_buf_delwri_queue, assuming they already are on another delwri
list. The biggest change to pass down the buffer list was done to the AIL
pushing. Now that we operate on buffers the trylock, push and pushbuf log
item methods are merged into a single push routine, which tries to lock the
item, and if possible add the buffer that needs writeback to the buffer list.
This leads to much simpler code than the previous split but requires the
individual IOP_PUSH instances to unlock and reacquire the AIL around calls
to blocking routines.
Given that xfsailds now also handle writing out buffers, the conditions for
log forcing and the sleep times needed some small changes. The most
important one is that we consider an AIL busy as long we still have buffers
to push, and the other one is that we do increment the pushed LSN for
buffers that are under flushing at this moment, but still count them towards
the stuck items for restart purposes. Without this we could hammer on stuck
items without ever forcing the log and not make progress under heavy random
delete workloads on fast flash storage devices.

- improved comments for XBF_DELWRI_Q handling

The cause of the leak is that the "remove" parameter of IOP_UNPIN()
is never set when a CIL push is aborted. This means that the EFI
item is never freed if it was in the push being cancelled. The
problem is specific to delayed logging, but has uncovered a couple
of problems with the handling of IOP_UNPIN(remove).
Firstly, we cannot safely call xfs_trans_del_item() from IOP_UNPIN()
in the CIL commit failure path or the iclog write failure path
because for delayed loging we have no transaction context. Hence we
must only call xfs_trans_del_item() if the log item being unpinned
has an active log item descriptor.
Secondly, xfs_trans_uncommit() does not handle log item descriptor
freeing during the traversal of log items on a transaction. It can
reference a freed log item descriptor when unpinning an EFI item.
Hence it needs to use a safe list traversal method to allow items to
be removed from the transaction during IOP_UNPIN().

If we get an IO error on a synchronous superblock write, we attach an
error release function to it so that when the last reference goes away
the release function is called and the buffer is invalidated and
unlocked. The buffer is left locked until the release function is
called so that other concurrent users of the buffer will be locked out
until the buffer error is fully processed.
Unfortunately, for the superblock buffer the filesyetm itself holds a
reference to the buffer which prevents the reference count from
dropping to zero and the release function being called. As a result,
once an IO error occurs on a sync write, the buffer will never be
unlocked and all future attempts to lock the buffer will hang.
To make matters worse, this problems is not unique to such buffers;
if there is a concurrent _xfs_buf_find() running, the lookup will grab
a reference to the buffer and then wait on the buffer lock, preventing
the reference count from ever falling to zero and hence unlocking the
buffer.
As such, the whole b_relse function implementation is broken because it
cannot rely on the buffer reference count falling to zero to unlock the
errored buffer. The synchronous write error path is the only path that
uses this callback - it is used to ensure that the synchronous waiter
gets the buffer error before the error state is cleared from the buffer
by the release function.
Given that the only sychronous buffer writes now go through xfs_bwrite
and the error path in question can only occur for a write of a dirty,
logged buffer, we can move most of the b_relse processing to happen
inline in xfs_buf_iodone_callbacks, just like a normal I/O completion.
In addition to that we make sure the error is not cleared in
xfs_buf_iodone_callbacks, so that xfs_bwrite can reliably check it.
Given that xfs_bwrite keeps the buffer locked until it has waited for
it and checked the error this allows to reliably propagate the error
to the caller, and make sure that the buffer is reliably unlocked.
Given that xfs_buf_iodone_callbacks was the only instance of the
b_relse callback we can remove it entirely.

To allow buffer iodone callbacks to consume multiple items off the
callback list, first we need to convert the xfs_buf_do_callbacks()
to consume items and always pull the next item from the head of the
list.
The means the item list walk is never dependent on knowing the
next item on the list and hence allows callbacks to remove items
from the list as well. This allows callbacks to do bulk operations
by scanning the list for identical callbacks, consuming them all
and then processing them in bulk, negating the need for multiple
callbacks of that type.

Each buffer contains both a buftarg pointer and a mount pointer. If
we add a mount pointer into the buftarg, we can avoid needing the
b_mount field in every buffer and grab it from the buftarg when
needed instead. This shrinks the xfs_buf by 8 bytes.

The b_strat callback is used by xfs_buf_iostrategy to perform additional
checks before submitting a buffer. It is used in xfs_bwrite and when
writing out delayed buffers. In xfs_bwrite it we can de-virtualize the
call easily as b_strat is set a few lines above the call to
xfs_buf_iostrategy. For the delayed buffers the rationale is a bit
more complicated:
- there are three callers of xfs_buf_delwri_queue, which places buffers
on the delwri list:
(1) xfs_bdwrite - this sets up b_strat, so it's fine
(2) xfs_buf_iorequest. None of the callers can have XBF_DELWRI set:
- xlog_bdstrat is only used for log buffers, which are never delwri
- _xfs_buf_read explicitly clears the delwri flag
- xfs_buf_iodone_work retries log buffers only
- xfsbdstrat - only used for reads, superblock writes without the
delwri flag, log I/O and file zeroing with explicitly allocated
buffers.
- xfs_buf_iostrategy - only calls xfs_buf_iorequest if b_strat is
not set
(3) xfs_buf_unlock
- only puts the buffer on the delwri list if the DELWRI flag is
already set. The DELWRI flag is only ever set in xfs_bwrite,
xfs_buf_iodone_callbacks, or xfs_trans_log_buf. For
xfs_buf_iodone_callbacks and xfs_trans_log_buf we require
an initialized buf item, which means b_strat was set to
xfs_bdstrat_cb in xfs_buf_item_init.
Conclusion: we can just get rid of the callback and replace it with
explicit calls to xfs_bdstrat_cb.

Currently we track log item descriptor belonging to a transaction using a
complex opencoded chunk allocator. This code has been there since day one
and seems to work around the lack of an efficient slab allocator.
This patch replaces it with dynamically allocated log item descriptors
from a dedicated slab pool, linked to the transaction by a linked list.
This allows to greatly simplify the log item descriptor tracking to the
point where it's just a couple hundred lines in xfs_trans.c instead of
a separate file. The external API has also been simplified while we're
at it - the xfs_trans_add_item and xfs_trans_del_item functions to add/
delete items from a transaction have been simplified to the bare minium,
and the xfs_trans_find_item function is replaced with a direct dereference
of the li_desc field. All debug code walking the list of log items in
a transaction is down to a simple list_for_each_entry.
Note that we could easily use a singly linked list here instead of the
double linked list from list.h as the fastpath only does deletion from
sequential traversal. But given that we don't have one available as
a library function yet I use the list.h functions for simplicity.
