Filipe Manana 1ec9a1ae1e Btrfs: fix unreplayable log after snapshot delete + parent dir fsync
If we delete a snapshot, fsync its parent directory and crash/power fail
before the next transaction commit, on the next mount when we attempt to
replay the log tree of the root containing the parent directory we will
fail and prevent the filesystem from mounting, which is solvable by wiping
out the log trees with the btrfs-zero-log tool but very inconvenient as
we will lose any data and metadata fsynced before the parent directory
was fsynced.

For example:

  $ mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdc
  $ mount /dev/sdc /mnt
  $ mkdir /mnt/testdir
  $ btrfs subvolume snapshot /mnt /mnt/testdir/snap
  $ btrfs subvolume delete /mnt/testdir/snap
  $ xfs_io -c "fsync" /mnt/testdir
  < crash / power failure and reboot >
  $ mount /dev/sdc /mnt
  mount: mount(2) failed: No such file or directory

And in dmesg/syslog we get the following message and trace:

This happens because when we are replaying the log and processing the
directory entry pointing to the snapshot in the subvolume tree, we treat
its btrfs_dir_item item as having a location with a key type matching
BTRFS_INODE_ITEM_KEY, which is wrong because the type matches
BTRFS_ROOT_ITEM_KEY and therefore must be processed differently, as the
object id refers to a root number and not to an inode in the root
containing the parent directory.

So fix this by triggering a transaction commit if an fsync against the
parent directory is requested after deleting a snapshot. This is the
simplest approach for a rare use case. Some alternative that avoids the
transaction commit would require more code to explicitly delete the
snapshot at log replay time (factoring out common code from ioctl.c:
btrfs_ioctl_snap_destroy()), special care at fsync time to remove the
log tree of the snapshot's root from the log root of the root of tree
roots, amongst other steps.

A test case for xfstests that triggers the issue follows.

Filipe Manana 2f2ff0ee5e Btrfs: fix metadata inconsistencies after directory fsync
We can get into inconsistency between inodes and directory entries
after fsyncing a directory. The issue is that while a directory gets
the new dentries persisted in the fsync log and replayed at mount time,
the link count of the inode that directory entries point to doesn't
get updated, staying with an incorrect link count (smaller then the
correct value). This later leads to stale file handle errors when
accessing (including attempt to delete) some of the links if all the
other ones are removed, which also implies impossibility to delete the
parent directories, since the dentries can not be removed.

Another issue is that (unlike ext3/4, xfs, f2fs, reiserfs, nilfs2),
when fsyncing a directory, new files aren't logged (their metadata and
dentries) nor any child directories. So this patch fixes this issue too,
since it has the same resolution as the incorrect inode link count issue
mentioned before.

This is very easy to reproduce, and the following excerpt from my test
case for xfstests shows how:

  _scratch_mkfs >> $seqres.full 2>&1
  _init_flakey
  _mount_flakey

  # Create our main test file and directory.
  $XFS_IO_PROG -f -c "pwrite -S 0xaa 0 8K" $SCRATCH_MNT/foo | _filter_xfs_io
  mkdir $SCRATCH_MNT/mydir

  # Make sure all metadata and data are durably persisted.
  sync

  # Add a hard link to 'foo' inside our test directory and fsync only the
  # directory. The btrfs fsync implementation had a bug that caused the new
  # directory entry to be visible after the fsync log replay but, the inode
  # of our file remained with a link count of 1.
  ln $SCRATCH_MNT/foo $SCRATCH_MNT/mydir/foo_2

  # Add a few more links and new files.
  # This is just to verify nothing breaks or gives incorrect results after the
  # fsync log is replayed.
  ln $SCRATCH_MNT/foo $SCRATCH_MNT/mydir/foo_3
  $XFS_IO_PROG -f -c "pwrite -S 0xff 0 64K" $SCRATCH_MNT/hello | _filter_xfs_io
  ln $SCRATCH_MNT/hello $SCRATCH_MNT/mydir/hello_2

  # Add some subdirectories and new files and links to them. This is to verify
  # that after fsyncing our top level directory 'mydir', all the subdirectories
  # and their files/links are registered in the fsync log and exist after the
  # fsync log is replayed.
  mkdir -p $SCRATCH_MNT/mydir/x/y/z
  ln $SCRATCH_MNT/foo $SCRATCH_MNT/mydir/x/y/foo_y_link
  ln $SCRATCH_MNT/foo $SCRATCH_MNT/mydir/x/y/z/foo_z_link
  touch $SCRATCH_MNT/mydir/x/y/z/qwerty

  # Now fsync only our top directory.
  $XFS_IO_PROG -c "fsync" $SCRATCH_MNT/mydir

  # And fsync now our new file named 'hello', just to verify later that it has
  # the expected content and that the previous fsync on the directory 'mydir' had
  # no bad influence on this fsync.
  $XFS_IO_PROG -c "fsync" $SCRATCH_MNT/hello

  # Simulate a crash/power loss.
  _load_flakey_table $FLAKEY_DROP_WRITES
  _unmount_flakey

  _load_flakey_table $FLAKEY_ALLOW_WRITES
  _mount_flakey

  # Verify the content of our file 'foo' remains the same as before, 8192 bytes,
  # all with the value 0xaa.
  echo "File 'foo' content after log replay:"
  od -t x1 $SCRATCH_MNT/foo

  # Remove the first name of our inode. Because of the directory fsync bug, the
  # inode's link count was 1 instead of 5, so removing the 'foo' name ended up
  # deleting the inode and the other names became stale directory entries (still
  # visible to applications). Attempting to remove or access the remaining
  # dentries pointing to that inode resulted in stale file handle errors and
  # made it impossible to remove the parent directories since it was impossible
  # for them to become empty.
  echo "file 'foo' link count after log replay: $(stat -c %h $SCRATCH_MNT/foo)"
  rm -f $SCRATCH_MNT/foo

  # Now verify that all files, links and directories created before fsyncing our
  # directory exist after the fsync log was replayed.

  rmdir $SCRATCH_MNT/mydir/x
  rm -f $SCRATCH_MNT/mydir/*

  # An fsck, run by the fstests framework everytime a test finishes, also detected

The expected golden output for the test is:

  XXX Bytes, X ops; XX:XX:XX.X (XXX YYY/sec and XXX ops/sec)
  wrote 65536/65536 bytes at offset 0

Which is the output after this patch and when running the test against
ext3/4, xfs, f2fs, reiserfs or nilfs2. Without this patch, the test's
output is:

  wrote 8192/8192 bytes at offset 0

  rmdir: failed to remove '/home/fdmanana/btrfs-tests/scratch_1/mydir': Directory not empty

Fsck, without this fix, also complains about the wrong link count:

  root 5 inode 257 errors 2001, no inode item, link count wrong
      unresolved ref dir 258 index 2 namelen 5 name foo_2 filetype 1 errors 4, no inode ref
      unresolved ref dir 258 index 3 namelen 5 name foo_3 filetype 1 errors 4, no inode ref

So fix this by logging the inodes that the dentries point to when
fsyncing a directory.

A test case for xfstests follows.

Filipe Manana 8407f55326 Btrfs: fix data corruption after fast fsync and writeback error
When we do a fast fsync, we start all ordered operations and then while
they're running in parallel we visit the list of modified extent maps
and construct their matching file extent items and write them to the
log btree. After that, in btrfs_sync_log() we wait for all the ordered
operations to finish (via btrfs_wait_logged_extents).

The problem with this is that we were completely ignoring errors that
can happen in the extent write path, such as -ENOSPC, a temporary -ENOMEM
or -EIO errors for example. When such error happens, it means we have parts
of the on disk extent that weren't written to, and so we end up logging
file extent items that point to these extents that contain garbage/random
data - so after a crash/reboot plus log replay, we get our inode's metadata
pointing to those extents.

This worked in contrast with the full (non-fast) fsync path, where we
start all ordered operations, wait for them to finish and then write
to the log btree. In this path, after each ordered operation completes
we check if it's flagged with an error (BTRFS_ORDERED_IOERR) and return
-EIO if so (via btrfs_wait_ordered_range).

So if an error happens with any ordered operation, just return a -EIO
error to userspace, so that it knows that not all of its previous writes
were durably persisted and the application can take proper action (like
redo the writes for e.g.) - and definitely not leave any file extent items
in the log refer to non fully written extents.

Filipe Manana 49dae1bc1c Btrfs: fix fsync data loss after a ranged fsync
While we're doing a full fsync (when the inode has the flag
BTRFS_INODE_NEEDS_FULL_SYNC set) that is ranged too (covers only a
portion of the file), we might have ordered operations that are started
before or while we're logging the inode and that fall outside the fsync
range.

Therefore when a full ranged fsync finishes don't remove every extent
map from the list of modified extent maps - as for some of them, that
fall outside our fsync range, their respective ordered operation hasn't
finished yet, meaning the corresponding file extent item wasn't inserted
into the fs/subvol tree yet and therefore we didn't log it, and we must
let the next fast fsync (one that checks only the modified list) see this
extent map and log a matching file extent item to the log btree and wait
for its ordered operation to finish (if it's still ongoing).

A test case for xfstests follows.

Miao Xie d1433debe7 Btrfs: just wait or commit our own log sub-transaction
We might commit the log sub-transaction which didn't contain the metadata we
logged. It was because we didn't record the log transid and just select
the current log sub-transaction to commit, but the right one might be
committed by the other task already. Actually, we needn't do anything
and it is safe that we go back directly in this case.

This patch improves the log sync by the above idea. We record the transid
of the log sub-transaction in which we log the metadata, and the transid
of the log sub-transaction we have committed. If the committed transid
is >= the transid we record when logging the metadata, we just go back.

Miao Xie 8b050d350c Btrfs: fix skipped error handle when log sync failed
It is possible that many tasks sync the log tree at the same time, but
only one task can do the sync work, the others will wait for it. But those
wait tasks didn't get the result of the log sync, and returned 0 when they
ended the wait. It caused those tasks skipped the error handle, and the
serious problem was they told the users the file sync succeeded but in
fact they failed.

This patch fixes this problem by introducing a log context structure,
we insert it into the a global list. When the sync fails, we will set
the error number of every log context in the list, then the waiting tasks
get the error number of the log context and handle the error if need.

btrfs_print_tree() is left because it is used for debugging.
btrfs_start_transaction_lflush() and btrfs_reada_detach() are
left for symmetry.

ulist.c functions are left, another patch will take care of those.

Yan, Zheng 4a500fd178 Btrfs: Metadata ENOSPC handling for tree log
Previous patches make the allocater return -ENOSPC if there is no
unreserved free metadata space. This patch updates tree log code
and various other places to propagate/handle the ENOSPC error.

Chris Mason 257c62e1bc Btrfs: avoid tree log commit when there are no changes
rpm has a habit of running fdatasync when the file hasn't
changed.  We already detect if a file hasn't been changed
in the current transaction but it might have been sent to
the tree-log in this transaction and not changed since
the last call to fsync.

In this case, we want to avoid a tree log sync, which includes
a number of synchronous writes and barriers.  This commit
extends the existing tracking of the last transaction to change
a file to also track the last sub-transaction.

The end result is that rpm -ivh and -Uvh are roughly twice as fast,
and on par with ext3.

Chris Mason 12fcfd22fe Btrfs: tree logging unlink/rename fixes
The tree logging code allows individual files or directories to be logged
without including operations on other files and directories in the FS.
It tries to commit the minimal set of changes to disk in order to
fsync the single file or directory that was sent to fsync or O_SYNC.

The tree logging code was allowing files and directories to be unlinked
if they were part of a rename operation where only one directory
in the rename was in the fsync log.  This patch adds a few new rules
to the tree logging.

1) on rename or unlink, if the inode being unlinked isn't in the fsync
log, we must force a full commit before doing an fsync of the directory
where the unlink was done.  The commit isn't done during the unlink,
but it is forced the next time we try to log the parent directory.

Solution: record transid of last unlink/rename per directory when the
directory wasn't already logged.  For renames this is only done when
renaming to a different directory.

mkdir foo/some_dir
normal commit
rename foo/some_dir foo2/some_dir
mkdir foo/some_dir
fsync foo/some_dir/some_file

The fsync above will unlink the original some_dir without recording
it in its new location (foo2).  After a crash, some_dir will be gone
unless the fsync of some_file forces a full commit

2) we must log any new names for any file or dir that is in the fsync
log.  This way we make sure not to lose files that are unlinked during
the same transaction.

2a) we must log any new names for any file or dir during rename
when the directory they are being removed from was logged.

2a is actually the more important variant.  Without the extra logging
a crash might unlink the old name without recreating the new one

3) after a crash, we must go through any directories with a link count
of zero and redo the rm -rf

mkdir f1/foo
normal commit
rm -rf f1/foo
fsync(f1)

The directory f1 was fully removed from the FS, but fsync was never
called on f1, only its parent dir.  After a crash the rm -rf must
be replayed.  This must be able to recurse down the entire
directory tree.  The inode link count fixup code takes care of the
ugly details.

Chris Mason e02119d5a7 Btrfs: Add a write ahead tree log to optimize synchronous operations
File syncs and directory syncs are optimized by copying their
items into a special (copy-on-write) log tree.  There is one log tree per
subvolume and the btrfs super block points to a tree of log tree roots.

After a crash, items are copied out of the log tree and back into the
subvolume.  See tree-log.c for all the details.
