ext4: handle writeback of inodes which are being freed The following BUG can occur when an inode which is getting freed when it still has dirty pages outstanding, and it gets deleted (in this because it was the target of a rename). In ordered mode, we need to make sure the data pages are written just in case we crash before the rename (or unlink) is committed. If the inode is being freed then when we try to igrab the inode, we end up tripping the BUG_ON at fs/ext4/page-io.c:146. To solve this problem, we need to keep track of the number of io callbacks which are pending, and avoid destroying the inode until they have all been completed. That way we don't have to bump the inode count to keep the inode from being destroyed; an approach which doesn't work because the count could have already been dropped down to zero before the inode writeback has started (at which point we're not allowed to bump the count back up to 1, since it's already started getting freed). Thanks to Dave Chinner for suggesting this approach, which is also used by XFS. kernel BUG at /scratch_space/linux-2.6/fs/ext4/page-io.c:146!

void ext4_ioend_wait(struct inode *inode)
{
ext4: serialize unaligned asynchronous DIO ext4 has a data corruption case when doing non-block-aligned asynchronous direct IO into a sparse file, as demonstrated by xfstest 240. The root cause is that while ext4 preallocates space in the hole, mappings of that space still look "new" and dio_zero_block() will zero out the unwritten portions. When more than one AIO thread is going, they both find this "new" block and race to zero out their portion; this is uncoordinated and causes data corruption. Dave Chinner fixed this for xfs by simply serializing all unaligned asynchronous direct IO. I've done the same here. The difference is that we only wait on conversions, not all IO. This is a very big hammer, and I'm not very pleased with stuffing this into ext4_file_write(). But since ext4 is DIO_LOCKING, we need to serialize it at this high level. I tried to move this into ext4_ext_direct_IO, but by then we have the i_mutex already, and we will wait on the work queue to do conversions - which must also take the i_mutex. So that won't work. This was originally exposed by qemu-kvm installing to a raw disk image with a normal sector-63 alignment. I've tested a backport of this patch with qemu, and it does avoid the corruption. It is also quite a lot slower (14 min for package installs, vs. 8 min for well-aligned) but I'll take slow correctness over fast corruption any day. Mingming suggested that we can track outstanding conversions, and wait on those so that non-sparse files won't be affected, and I've implemented that here; unaligned AIO to nonsparse files won't take a perf hit.

Revert "ext4: don't release page refs in ext4_end_bio()" This reverts commit b43d17f319f2c502b17139d1cf70731b2b62c644. Dave Jones reports that it causes lockups on his laptop, and his debug output showed a lot of processes hung waiting for page_writeback (or more commonly - processes hung waiting for a lock that was held during that writeback wait). The page_writeback hint made Ted suggest that Dave look at this commit, and Dave verified that reverting it makes his problems go away. Ted says: "That commit fixes a race which is seen when you write into fallocated (and hence uninitialized) disk blocks under *very* heavy memory pressure. Furthermore, although theoretically it could trigger under normal direct I/O writes, it only seems to trigger if you are issuing a huge number of AIO writes, such that a just-written page can get evicted from memory, and then read back into memory, before the workqueue has a chance to update the extent tree. This race has been around for a little over a year, and no one noticed until two months ago; it only happens under fairly exotic conditions, and in fact even after trying very hard to create a simple repro under lab conditions, we could only reproduce the problem and confirm the fix on production servers running MySQL on very fast PCIe-attached flash devices. Given that Dave was able to hit this problem pretty quickly, if we confirm that this commit is at fault, the only reasonable thing to do is to revert it IMO."

That particular command line tells aio-stress to do random writes to 20 files from 20 threads (one thread per file). The files are NOT preallocated, so you will get writes to random offsets within the file, thus creating holes and extending i_size. It also opens the file with O_DIRECT and O_SYNC. On to the problem. When an I/O requires unwritten extent conversion, it is queued onto the completed_io_list for the ext4 inode. Two code paths will pull work items from this list. The first is the ext4_end_io_work routine, and the second is ext4_flush_completed_IO, which is called via the fsync path (and O_SYNC handling, as well). There are two issues I've found in these code paths. First, if the fsync path beats the work routine to a particular I/O, the work routine will free the io_end structure! It does not take into account the fact that the io_end may still be in use by the fsync path. I've fixed this issue by adding yet another IO_END flag, indicating that the io_end is being processed by the fsync path. The second problem is that the work routine will make an assignment to io->flag outside of the lock. I have witnessed this result in a hang at umount. Moving the flag setting inside the lock resolved that problem. The problem was introduced by commit b82e384c7b ("ext4: optimize locking for end_io extent conversion"), which first appeared in 3.2. As such, the fix should be backported to that release (probably along with the unwritten extent conversion race fix).

ext4: remove i_mutex lock in ext4_evict_inode to fix lockdep complaining The i_mutex lock and flush_completed_IO() added by commit 2581fdc810 in ext4_evict_inode() causes lockdep complaining about potential deadlock in several places. In most/all of these LOCKDEP complaints it looks like it's a false positive, since many of the potential circular locking cases can't take place by the time the ext4_evict_inode() is called; but since at the very least it may mask real problems, we need to address this. This change removes the flush_completed_IO() and i_mutex lock in ext4_evict_inode(). Instead, we take a different approach to resolve the software lockup that commit 2581fdc810 intends to fix. Rather than having ext4-dio-unwritten thread wait for grabing the i_mutex lock of an inode, we use mutex_trylock() instead, and simply requeue the work item if we fail to grab the inode's i_mutex lock. This should speed up work queue processing in general and also prevents the following deadlock scenario: During page fault, shrink_icache_memory is called that in turn evicts another inode B. Inode B has some pending io_end work so it calls ext4_ioend_wait() that waits for inode B's i_ioend_count to become zero. However, inode B's ioend work was queued behind some of inode A's ioend work on the same cpu's ext4-dio-unwritten workqueue. As the ext4-dio-unwritten thread on that cpu is processing inode A's ioend work, it tries to grab inode A's i_mutex lock. Since the i_mutex lock of inode A is still hold before the page fault happened, we enter a deadlock. Signed-off-by: Jiaying Zhang <jiayingz@google.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

ext4: fix race between sync and completed io work The following command line will leave the aio-stress process unkillable on an ext4 file system (in my case, mounted on /mnt/test): aio-stress -t 20 -s 10 -O -S -o 2 -I 1000 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.20 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.19 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.18 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.17 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.16 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.15 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.14 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.13 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.12 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.11 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.10 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.9 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.8 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.7 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.6 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.5 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.4 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.3 /mnt/test/aiostress.3561.4.2 This is using the aio-stress program from the xfstests test suite. That particular command line tells aio-stress to do random writes to 20 files from 20 threads (one thread per file). The files are NOT preallocated, so you will get writes to random offsets within the file, thus creating holes and extending i_size. It also opens the file with O_DIRECT and O_SYNC. On to the problem. When an I/O requires unwritten extent conversion, it is queued onto the completed_io_list for the ext4 inode. Two code paths will pull work items from this list. The first is the ext4_end_io_work routine, and the second is ext4_flush_completed_IO, which is called via the fsync path (and O_SYNC handling, as well). There are two issues I've found in these code paths. First, if the fsync path beats the work routine to a particular I/O, the work routine will free the io_end structure! It does not take into account the fact that the io_end may still be in use by the fsync path. I've fixed this issue by adding yet another IO_END flag, indicating that the io_end is being processed by the fsync path. The second problem is that the work routine will make an assignment to io->flag outside of the lock. I have witnessed this result in a hang at umount. Moving the flag setting inside the lock resolved that problem. The problem was introduced by commit b82e384c7b ("ext4: optimize locking for end_io extent conversion"), which first appeared in 3.2. As such, the fix should be backported to that release (probably along with the unwritten extent conversion race fix).

ext4: remove i_mutex lock in ext4_evict_inode to fix lockdep complaining The i_mutex lock and flush_completed_IO() added by commit 2581fdc810 in ext4_evict_inode() causes lockdep complaining about potential deadlock in several places. In most/all of these LOCKDEP complaints it looks like it's a false positive, since many of the potential circular locking cases can't take place by the time the ext4_evict_inode() is called; but since at the very least it may mask real problems, we need to address this. This change removes the flush_completed_IO() and i_mutex lock in ext4_evict_inode(). Instead, we take a different approach to resolve the software lockup that commit 2581fdc810 intends to fix. Rather than having ext4-dio-unwritten thread wait for grabing the i_mutex lock of an inode, we use mutex_trylock() instead, and simply requeue the work item if we fail to grab the inode's i_mutex lock. This should speed up work queue processing in general and also prevents the following deadlock scenario: During page fault, shrink_icache_memory is called that in turn evicts another inode B. Inode B has some pending io_end work so it calls ext4_ioend_wait() that waits for inode B's i_ioend_count to become zero. However, inode B's ioend work was queued behind some of inode A's ioend work on the same cpu's ext4-dio-unwritten workqueue. As the ext4-dio-unwritten thread on that cpu is processing inode A's ioend work, it tries to grab inode A's i_mutex lock. Since the i_mutex lock of inode A is still hold before the page fault happened, we enter a deadlock. Signed-off-by: Jiaying Zhang <jiayingz@google.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

ext4: handle writeback of inodes which are being freed The following BUG can occur when an inode which is getting freed when it still has dirty pages outstanding, and it gets deleted (in this because it was the target of a rename). In ordered mode, we need to make sure the data pages are written just in case we crash before the rename (or unlink) is committed. If the inode is being freed then when we try to igrab the inode, we end up tripping the BUG_ON at fs/ext4/page-io.c:146. To solve this problem, we need to keep track of the number of io callbacks which are pending, and avoid destroying the inode until they have all been completed. That way we don't have to bump the inode count to keep the inode from being destroyed; an approach which doesn't work because the count could have already been dropped down to zero before the inode writeback has started (at which point we're not allowed to bump the count back up to 1, since it's already started getting freed). Thanks to Dave Chinner for suggesting this approach, which is also used by XFS. kernel BUG at /scratch_space/linux-2.6/fs/ext4/page-io.c:146!

Dave Jones reports that it causes lockups on his laptop, and his debug output showed a lot of processes hung waiting for page_writeback (or more commonly - processes hung waiting for a lock that was held during that writeback wait). The page_writeback hint made Ted suggest that Dave look at this commit, and Dave verified that reverting it makes his problems go away. Ted says: "That commit fixes a race which is seen when you write into fallocated (and hence uninitialized) disk blocks under *very* heavy memory pressure. Furthermore, although theoretically it could trigger under normal direct I/O writes, it only seems to trigger if you are issuing a huge number of AIO writes, such that a just-written page can get evicted from memory, and then read back into memory, before the workqueue has a chance to update the extent tree. This race has been around for a little over a year, and no one noticed until two months ago; it only happens under fairly exotic conditions, and in fact even after trying very hard to create a simple repro under lab conditions, we could only reproduce the problem and confirm the fix on production servers running MySQL on very fast PCIe-attached flash devices. Given that Dave was able to hit this problem pretty quickly, if we confirm that this commit is at fault, the only reasonable thing to do is to revert it IMO."
