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 incorrectly. Signed-off-by:Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com> Reviewed-by:

Seeing as we pass block numbers around everywhere in the buffer cache now, it makes no sense to index everything by byte offset. Replace all the byte offset indexing with block number based indexing, and replace all uses of the byte offset with direct conversion from the block index. Signed-off-by:

The xfs_buf_get/read API is not consistent in the units it uses, and does not use appropriate or consistent units/types for the variables. Convert the API to use disk addresses and block counts for all buffer get and read calls. Use consistent naming for all the functions and their declarations, and convert the internal functions to use disk addresses and block counts to avoid need to convert them from one type to another and back again. Fix all the callers to use disk addresses and block counts. In many cases, this removes an additional conversion from the function call as the callers already have a block count. Signed-off-by:

Because we no longer use the page cache for buffering, there is no direct block number to page offset relationship anymore. xfs_buf_get_pages is still setting up b_offset as if there was some relationship, and that is leading to incorrectly setting up *uncached* buffers that don't overwrite b_offset once they've had pages allocated. For cached buffers, the first block of the buffer is always at offset zero into the allocated memory. This is true for sub-page sized buffers, as well as for multiple-page buffers. For uncached buffers, b_offset is only non-zero when we are associating specific memory to the buffers, and that is set correctly by the code setting up the buffer. Hence remove the setting of b_offset in xfs_buf_get_pages, because it is now always the wrong thing to do. Signed-off-by:

If we call xfs_buf_iowait() on a buffer that failed dispatch due to an IO error, it will wait forever for an Io that does not exist. This is hndled in xfs_buf_read, but there is other code that calls xfs_buf_iowait directly that doesn't. Rather than make the call sites have to handle checking for dispatch errors and then checking for completion errors, make xfs_buf_iowait() check for dispatch errors on the buffer before waiting. This means we handle both dispatch and completion errors with one set of error handling at the caller sites. Signed-off-by:

When memory allocation fails to add the page array or tht epages to a buffer during xfs_buf_get(), the buffer is left in the cache in a partially initialised state. There is enough state left for the next lookup on that buffer to find the buffer, and for the buffer to then be used without finishing the initialisation. As a result, when an attempt to do IO on the buffer occurs, it fails with EIO because there are no pages attached to the buffer. We cannot remove the buffer from the cache immediately and free it, because there may already be a racing lookup that is blocked on the buffer lock. Hence the moment we unlock the buffer to then free it, the other user is woken and we have a use-after-free situation. To avoid this race condition altogether, allocate the pages for the buffer before we insert it into the cache. This then means that we don't have an allocation failure case to deal after the buffer is already present in the cache, and hence avoid the problem altogether. In most cases we won't have racing inserts for the same buffer, and so won't increase the memory pressure allocation before insertion may entail. Signed-off-by:

xfstest 229 exposes a problem with buffered IO, delayed allocation and extent size hints. That is when we do delayed allocation during buffered IO, we reserve space for the extent size hint alignment and allocate the physical space to align the extent, but we do not zero the regions of the extent that aren't written by the write(2) syscall. The result is that we expose stale data in unwritten regions of the extent size hints. There are two ways to fix this. The first is to detect that we are doing unaligned writes, check if there is already a mapping or data over the extent size hint range, and if not zero the page cache first before then doing the real write. This can be very expensive for large extent size hints, especially if the subsequent writes fill then entire extent size before the data is written to disk. The second, and simpler way, is simply to turn off delayed allocation when the extent size hint is set and use preallocation instead. This results in unwritten extents being laid down on disk and so only the written portions will be converted. This matches the behaviour for direct IO, and will also work for the real time device. The disadvantage of this approach is that for small extent size hints we can get file fragmentation, but in general extent size hints are fairly large (e.g. stripe width sized) so this isn't a big deal. Implement the second approach as it is simple and effective. Signed-off-by:

Speculative delayed allocation beyond EOF near the maximum supported file offset can result in creating delalloc extents beyond mp->m_maxioffset (8EB). These can never be trimmed during xfs_free_eof_blocks() because they are beyond mp->m_maxioffset, and that results in assert failures in xfs_fs_destroy_inode() due to delalloc blocks still being present. xfstests 071 exposes this problem. Limit speculative delalloc to mp->m_maxioffset to avoid this problem. Signed-off-by:

When we are doing speculative delayed allocation beyond EOF, conversion of the region allocated beyond EOF is dependent on the largest free space extent available. If the largest free extent is smaller than the delalloc range, then after allocation we leave a delalloc extent that starts beyond EOF. This extent cannot *ever* be converted by flushing data, and so will remain there until either the EOF moves into the extent or it is truncated away. Hence if xfs_getbmap() runs on such an inode and is asked to return extents beyond EOF, it will assert fail on this extent even though there is nothing xfs_getbmap() can do to convert it to a real extent. Hence we should simply report these delalloc extents rather than assert that there should be none. Signed-off-by:

Often mounting small filesystem with small logs will emit a warning such as: XFS (vdb): Invalid block length (0x2000) for buffer during log recovery. This causes tests to randomly fail because this output causes the clean filesystem checks on test completion to think the filesystem is inconsistent. The cause of the error is simply that log recovery is asking for a buffer size that is larger than the log when zeroing the tail. This is because the buffer size is rounded up, and if the right head and tail conditions exist then the buffer size can be larger than the log. Limit the variable size xlog_get_bp() callers to requesting buffers smaller than the log. Signed-off-by:

When a partial write inside EOF fails, it can leave delayed allocation blocks lying around because they don't get punched back out. This leads to assert failures like: XFS: Assertion failed: XFS_FORCED_SHUTDOWN(ip->i_mount) || ip->i_delayed_blks == 0, file: fs/xfs/xfs_super.c, line: 847 when evicting inodes from the cache. This can be trivially triggered by xfstests 083, which takes between 5 and 15 executions on a 512 byte block size filesystem to trip over this. Debugging shows a failed write due to ENOSPC calling xfs_vm_write_failed such as: [ 5012.329024] ino 0xa0026: vwf to 0x17000, sze 0x1c85ae and no action is taken on it. This leaves behind a delayed allocation extent that has no page covering it and no data in it: [ 5015.867162] ino 0xa0026: blks: 0x83 delay blocks 0x1, size 0x2538c0 [ 5015.868293] ext 0: off 0x4a, fsb 0x50306, len 0x1 [ 5015.869095] ext 1: off 0x4b, fsb 0x7899, len 0x6b [ 5015.869900] ext 2: off 0xb6, fsb 0xffffffffe0008, len 0x1 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ [ 5015.871027] ext 3: off 0x36e, fsb 0x7a27, len 0xd [ 5015.872206] ext 4: off 0x4cf, fsb 0x7a1d, len 0xa So the delayed allocation extent is one block long at offset 0x16c00. Tracing shows that a bigger write: xfs_file_buffered_write: size 0x1c85ae offset 0x959d count 0x1ca3f ioflags allocates the block, and then fails with ENOSPC trying to allocate the last block on the page, leading to a failed write with stale delalloc blocks on it. Because we've had an ENOSPC when trying to allocate 0x16e00, it means that we are never goinge to call ->write_end on the page and so the allocated new buffer will not get marked dirty or have the buffer_new state cleared. In other works, what the above write is supposed to end up with is this mapping for the page: +------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+ UMA UMA UMA UMA UMA UMA UND FAIL where: U = uptodate M = mapped N = new A = allocated D = delalloc FAIL = block we ENOSPC'd on. and the key point being the buffer_new() state for the newly allocated delayed allocation block. Except it doesn't - we're not marking buffers new correctly. That buffer_new() problem goes back to the xfs_iomap removal days, where xfs_iomap() used to return a "new" status for any map with newly allocated blocks, so that __xfs_get_blocks() could call set_buffer_new() on it. We still have the "new" variable and the check for it in the set_buffer_new() logic - except we never set it now! Hence that newly allocated delalloc block doesn't have the new flag set on it, so when the write fails we cannot tell which blocks we are supposed to punch out. WHy do we need the buffer_new flag? Well, that's because we can have this case: +------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+ UMD UMD UMD UMD UMD UMD UND FAIL where all the UMD buffers contain valid data from a previously successful write() system call. We only want to punch the UND buffer because that's the only one that we added in this write and it was only this write that failed. That implies that even the old buffer_new() logic was wrong - because it would result in all those UMD buffers on the page having set_buffer_new() called on them even though they aren't new. Hence we shoul donly be calling set_buffer_new() for delalloc buffers that were allocated (i.e. were a hole before xfs_iomap_write_delay() was called). So, fix this set_buffer_new logic according to how we need it to work for handling failed writes correctly. Also, restore the new buffer logic handling for blocks allocated via xfs_iomap_write_direct(), because it should still set the buffer_new flag appropriately for newly allocated blocks, too. SO, now we have the buffer_new() being set appropriately in __xfs_get_blocks(), we can detect the exact delalloc ranges that we allocated in a failed write, and hence can now do a walk of the buffers on a page to find them. Except, it's not that easy. When block_write_begin() fails, it unlocks and releases the page that we just had an error on, so we can't use that page to handle errors anymore. We have to get access to the page while it is still locked to walk the buffers. Hence we have to open code block_write_begin() in xfs_vm_write_begin() to be able to insert xfs_vm_write_failed() is the right place. With that, we can pass the page and write range to xfs_vm_write_failed() and walk the buffers on the page, looking for delalloc buffers that are either new or beyond EOF and punch them out. Handling buffers beyond EOF ensures we still handle the existing case that xfs_vm_write_failed() handles. Of special note is the truncate_pagecache() handling - that only should be done for pages outside EOF - pages within EOF can still contain valid, dirty data so we must not punch them out of the cache. That just leaves the xfs_vm_write_end() failure handling. The only failure case here is that we didn't copy the entire range, and generic_write_end() handles that by zeroing the region of the page that wasn't copied, we don't have to punch out blocks within the file because they are guaranteed to contain zeros. Hence we only have to handle the existing "beyond EOF" case and don't need access to the buffers on the page. Hence it remains largely unchanged. Note that xfs_getbmap() can still trip over delalloc blocks beyond EOF that are left there by speculative delayed allocation. Hence this bug fix does not solve all known issues with bmap vs delalloc, but it does fix all the the known accidental occurances of the problem.

xfs_is_delayed_page() checks to see if a page has buffers matching the given IO type passed in. It does so by walking the buffer heads on the page and checking if the state flags match the IO type. However, the "acceptable" variable that is calculated is overwritten every time a new buffer is checked. Hence if the first buffer on the page is of the right type, this state is lost if the second buffer is not of the correct type. This means that xfs_aops_discard_page() may not discard delalloc regions when it is supposed to, and xfs_convert_page() may not cluster IO as efficiently as possible. This problem only occurs on filesystems with a block size smaller than page size. Also, rename xfs_is_delayed_page() to xfs_check_page_type() to better describe what it is doing - it is not delalloc specific anymore. The problem was first noticed by Peter Watkins. Signed-off-by:

Doing background CIL flushes adds significant latency to whatever async transaction that triggers it. To avoid blocking async transactions on things like waiting for log buffer IO to complete, move the CIL push off into a workqueue. By moving the push work into a workqueue, we remove all the latency that the commit adds from the foreground transaction commit path. This also means that single threaded workloads won't do the CIL push procssing, leaving them more CPU to do more async transactions. To do this, we need to keep track of the sequence number we have pushed work for. This avoids having many transaction commits attempting to schedule work for the same sequence, and ensures that we only ever have one push (background or forced) in progress at a time. It also means that we don't need to take the CIL lock in write mode to check for potential background push races, which reduces lock contention. To avoid potential issues with "smart" IO schedulers, don't use the workqueue for log force triggered flushes. Instead, do them directly so that the log IO is done directly by the process issuing the log force and so doesn't get stuck on IO elevator queue idling incorrectly delaying the log IO from the workqueue.

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. [ Dave Chinner: - rebase on previous patches. - improved comments for XBF_DELWRI_Q handling - fix XBF_ASYNC handling in queue submission (test 106 failure) - rename delwri submit function buffer list parameters for clarity - xfs_efd_item_push() should return XFS_ITEM_PINNED ] Signed-off-by:

Instead of adding buffers to the delwri list as soon as they are logged, even if they can't be written until commited because they are pinned defer adding them to the delwri list until xfsaild pushes them. This makes the code more similar to other log items and prepares for writing buffers directly from xfsaild. The complication here is that we need to fail buffers that were added but not logged yet in xfs_buf_item_unpin, borrowing code from xfs_bioerror. Signed-off-by:

Now that we write back all metadata either synchronously or through the AIL we can simply implement metadata freezing in terms of emptying the AIL. The implementation for this is fairly simply and straight-forward: A new routine is added that asks the xfsaild to push the AIL to the end and waits for it to complete and send a wakeup. The routine will then loop if the AIL is not actually empty, and continue to do so until the AIL is compeltely empty. We keep an inode reclaim pass in the freeze process to avoid having memory pressure have to reclaim inodes that require dirtying the filesystem to be reclaimed after the freeze has completed. This means we can also treat unmount in the exact same way as freeze. As an upside we can now remove the radix tree based inode writeback and xfs_unmountfs_writesb.

Provide a variant of xlog_assign_tail_lsn that has the AIL lock already held. By doing so we do an additional atomic_read + atomic_set under the lock, which comes down to two instructions. Switch xfs_trans_ail_update_bulk and xfs_trans_ail_delete_bulk to the new version to reduce the number of lock roundtrips, and prepare for a new addition that would require a third lock roundtrip in xfs_trans_ail_delete_bulk. This addition is also the reason for slightly rearranging the conditionals and relying on xfs_log_space_wake for checking that the filesystem has been shut down internally. Signed-off-by:

If a filesystem has been forced shutdown we are never going to write inodes to disk, which means the inode items will stay in the AIL until we free the inode. Currently that is not a problem, but a pending change requires us to empty the AIL before shutting down the filesystem. In that case leaving the inode in the AIL is lethal.

I've been seeing regular ASSERT failures in xfstests when running fsstress based tests over the past month. xfs_getbmap() has been failing this test: XFS: Assertion failed: ((iflags & BMV_IF_DELALLOC) != 0) || (map[i].br_startblock != DELAYSTARTBLOCK), file: fs/xfs/xfs_bmap.c, line: 5650 where it is encountering a delayed allocation extent after writing all the dirty data to disk and then walking the extent map atomically by holding the XFS_IOLOCK_SHARED to prevent new delayed allocation extents from being created.

Further debug added to xfs_vm_write_failed() showed this happened when punching out delalloc blocks beyond the end of the file after the failed write: [ 132.606693] ino 0x80e48: vwf to 0x181000, sze 0x180000 [ 132.609573] start_fsb 0xc01, end_fsb 0xc08 It punched the range 0xc01 -> 0xc08, but the range we really need to punch is 0xc00 -> 0xc07 (8 blocks from 0xc00) as this testing was run on a 512 byte block size filesystem (8 blocks per page). the punch from is 0xc00. So end_fsb is correct, but start_fsb is wrong as we punch from start_fsb for (end_fsb - start_fsb) blocks. Hence we are not punching the delalloc block beyond EOF in the case. The fix is simple - it's a silly off-by-one mistake in calculating the range. It's especially silly because the macro used to calculate the start_fsb already takes into account the case where the inode size is an exact multiple of the filesystem block size...

For the direct IO write path, we only really need the ilock to be taken in exclusive mode during IO submission if we need to do extent allocation instead of all the time. Change the block mapping code to take the ilock in shared mode for the initial block mapping, and only retake it exclusively when we actually have to perform extent allocations. We were already dropping the ilock for the transaction allocation, so this doesn't introduce new race windows. Based on an earlier patch from Dave Chinner. Signed-off-by:

Instead of calling xfs_zero_eof with the ilock held only take it internally for the minimall required critical section around xfs_bmapi_read. This also requires changing the calling convention for xfs_zero_last_block slightly. The actual zeroing operation is still serialized by the iolock, which must be taken exclusively over the call to xfs_zero_eof. We could in fact use a shared lock for the xfs_bmapi_read calls as long as the extent list has been read in, but given that we already hold the iolock exclusively there is little reason to micro optimize this further.

We do not need the ilock for most checks done in the beginning of xfs_setattr_size. Replace the long critical section before starting the transaction with a smaller one around xfs_zero_eof and an optional one inside xfs_qm_dqattach that isn't entered unless using quotas. While this isn't a big optimization for xfs_setattr_size itself it will allow pushing the ilock into xfs_zero_eof itself later. Signed-off-by: -

Check if we actually need to attach a dquot before taking the ilock in xfs_qm_dqattach. This avoid superflous lock roundtrips for the common cases of quota support compiled in but not activated on a filesystem and an inode that already has the dquots attached. Signed-off-by:

Because the mount process can run a quotacheck and consume lots of inodes, we need to be able to run periodic inode reclaim during the mount process. This will prevent running the system out of memory during quota checks. This essentially reverts 2bcf6e97, but that is safe to do now that the quota sync code that was causing problems during long quotacheck executions is now gone. The reclaim work is currently protected from running during the unmount process by a check against MS_ACTIVE. Unfortunately, this also means that the reclaim work cannot run during mount. The unmount process should stop the reclaim cleanly before freeing anything that the reclaim work depends on, so there is no need to have this guard in place. Also, the inode reclaim work is demand driven, so there is no need to start it immediately during mount. It will be started the moment an inode is queued for reclaim, so qutoacheck will trigger it just fine. Signed-off-by:

Check if the project quota is running or not before performing xfs_qm_statvfs(), just return if not. Otherwise the ASSERT XFS_IS_QUOTA_RUNNING in xfs_qm_dqget will be popped. Signed-off-by:

Pull two more small regmap fixes from Mark Brown: - Now we have users for it that aren't running Android it turns out that regcache_sync_region() is much more useful to drivers if it's exported for use by modules. Who knew? - Make sure we don't divide by zero when doing debugfs dumps of rbtrees, not visible up until now because everything was providing at least some cache on startup. * tag 'regmap-3.4-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/regmap: regmap: prevent division by zero in rbtree_show regmap: Export regcache_sync_region()
