To facilitate future improvements in inode logging and improving
inode cluster buffer locking order consistency, we need a new
mechanism for defering inode cluster buffer modifications during
unlinked list modifications.
The unlinked inode list buffer locking is complex. The unlinked
list is unordered - we add to the tail, remove from where-ever the
inode is in the list. Hence we might need to lock two inode buffers
here (previous inode in list and the one being removed). While we
can order the locking of these buffers correctly within the confines
of the unlinked list, there may be other inodes that need buffer
locking in the same transaction. e.g. O_TMPFILE being linked into a
directory also modifies the directory inode.
Hence we need a mechanism for defering unlinked inode list updates
until a point where we know that all modifications have been made
and all that remains is to lock and modify the cluster buffers.
We can do this by first observing that we serialise unlinked list
modifications by holding the AGI buffer lock. IOWs, the AGI is going
to be locked until the transaction commits any time we modify the
unlinked list. Hence it doesn't matter when in the unlink
transactions that we actually load, lock and modify the inode
cluster buffer.
We add an in-memory unlinked inode log item to defer the inode
cluster buffer update to transaction commit time where it can be
ordered with all the other inode cluster operations that need to be
done. Essentially all we need to do is record the inodes that need
to have their unlinked list pointer updated in a new log item that
we attached to the transaction.
This log item exists purely for the purpose of delaying the update
of the unlinked list pointer until the inode cluster buffer can be
locked in the correct order around the other inode cluster buffers.
It plays no part in the actual commit, and there's no change to
anything that is written to the log. i.e. the inode cluster buffers
still have to be fully logged here (not just ordered) as log
recovery depedends on this to replay mods to the unlinked inode
list.
Hence if we add a "precommit" hook into xfs_trans_commit()
to run a "precommit" operation on these iunlink log items, we can
delay the locking, modification and logging of the inode cluster
buffer until after all other modifications have been made. The
precommit hook reuires us to sort the items that are going to be run
so that we can lock precommit items in the correct order as we
perform the modifications they describe.
To make this unlinked inode list processing simpler and easier to
implement as a log item, we need to change the way we track the
unlinked list in memory. Starting from the observation that an inode
on the unlinked list is pinned in memory by the VFS, we can use the
xfs_inode itself to track the unlinked list. To do this efficiently,
we want the unlinked list to be a double linked list. The problem
here is that we need a list per AGI unlinked list, and there are 64
of these per AGI. The approach taken in this patchset is to shadow
the AGI unlinked list heads in the perag, and link inodes by agino,
hence requiring only 8 extra bytes per inode to track this state.
We can then use the agino pointers for lockless inode cache lookups
to retreive the inode. The aginos in the inode are modified only
under the AGI lock, just like the cluster buffer pointers, so we
don't need any extra locking here. The i_next_unlinked field tracks
the on-disk value of the unlinked list, and the i_prev_unlinked is a
purely in-memory pointer that enables us to efficiently remove
inodes from the middle of the list.
This results in moving a lot of the unlink modification work into
the precommit operations on the unlink log item. Tracking all the
unlinked inodes in the inodes themselves also gets rid of the
unlinked list reference hash table that is used to track this back
pointer relationship. This greatly simplifies the the unlinked list
modification code, and removes memory allocations in this hot path
to track back pointers. This, overall, slightly reduces the CPU
overhead of the unlink path.
The result of this log item means that we move all the actual
manipulation of objects to be logged out of the iunlink path and
into the iunlink item. This allows for future optimisation of this
mechanism without needing changes to high level unlink path, as
well as making the unlink lock ordering predictable and synchronised
with other operations that may require inode cluster locking.

For inodes that are dirty, we have an attached cluster buffer that
we want to use to track the dirty inode through the AIL.
Unfortunately, locking the cluster buffer and adding it to the
transaction when the inode is first logged in a transaction leads to
buffer lock ordering inversions.
The specific problem is ordering against the AGI buffer. When
modifying unlinked lists, the buffer lock order is AGI -> inode
cluster buffer as the AGI buffer lock serialises all access to the
unlinked lists. Unfortunately, functionality like xfs_droplink()
logs the inode before calling xfs_iunlink(), as do various directory
manipulation functions. The inode can be logged way down in the
stack as far as the bmapi routines and hence, without a major
rewrite of lots of APIs there's no way we can avoid the inode being
logged by something until after the AGI has been logged.
As we are going to be using ordered buffers for inode AIL tracking,
there isn't a need to actually lock that buffer against modification
as all the modifications are captured by logging the inode item
itself. Hence we don't actually need to join the cluster buffer into
the transaction until just before it is committed. This means we do
not perturb any of the existing buffer lock orders in transactions,
and the inode cluster buffer is always locked last in a transaction
that doesn't otherwise touch inode cluster buffers.
We do this by introducing a precommit log item method. This commit
just introduces the mechanism; the inode item implementation is in
followup commits.
The precommit items need to be sorted into consistent order as we
may be locking multiple items here. Hence if we have two dirty
inodes in cluster buffers A and B, and some other transaction has
two separate dirty inodes in the same cluster buffers, locking them
in different orders opens us up to ABBA deadlocks. Hence we sort the
items on the transaction based on the presence of a sort log item
method.

Before we split the ordered CIL up into per cpu lists, we need a
mechanism to track the order of the items in the CIL. We need to do
this because there are rules around the order in which related items
must physically appear in the log even inside a single checkpoint
transaction.
An example of this is intents - an intent must appear in the log
before it's intent done record so that log recovery can cancel the
intent correctly. If we have these two records misordered in the
CIL, then they will not be recovered correctly by journal replay.
We also will not be able to move items to the tail of
the CIL list when they are relogged, hence the log items will need
some mechanism to allow the correct log item order to be recreated
before we write log items to the hournal.
Hence we need to have a mechanism for recording global order of
transactions in the log items so that we can recover that order
from un-ordered per-cpu lists.
Do this with a simple monotonic increasing commit counter in the CIL
context. Each log item in the transaction gets stamped with the
current commit order ID before it is added to the CIL. If the item
is already in the CIL, leave it where it is instead of moving it to
the tail of the list and instead sort the list before we start the
push work.

When we log modifications based on intents, we add both intent
and intent done items to the modification being made. These get
written to the log to ensure that the operation is re-run if the
intent done is not found in the log.
However, for operations that complete wholly within a single
checkpoint, the change in the checkpoint is atomic and will never
need replay. In this case, we don't need to actually write the
intent and intent done items to the journal because log recovery
will never need to manually restart this modification.
Log recovery currently handles intent/intent done matching by
inserting the intent into the AIL, then removing it when a matching
intent done item is found. Hence for all the intent-based operations
that complete within a checkpoint, we spend all that time parsing
the intent/intent done items just to cancel them and do nothing with
them.
Hence it follows that the only time we actually need intents in the
log is when the modification crosses checkpoint boundaries in the
log and so may only be partially complete in the journal. Hence if
we commit and intent done item to the CIL and the intent item is in
the same checkpoint, we don't actually have to write them to the
journal because log recovery will always cancel the intents.
We've never really worried about the overhead of logging intents
unnecessarily like this because the intents we log are generally
very much smaller than the change being made. e.g. freeing an extent
involves modifying at lease two freespace btree blocks and the AGF,
so the EFI/EFD overhead is only a small increase in space and
processing time compared to the overall cost of freeing an extent.
However, delayed attributes change this cost equation dramatically,
especially for inline attributes. In the case of adding an inline
attribute, we only log the inode core and attribute fork at present.
With delayed attributes, we now log the attr intent which includes
the name and value, the inode core adn attr fork, and finally the
attr intent done item. We increase the number of items we log from 1
to 3, and the number of log vectors (regions) goes up from 3 to 7.
Hence we tripple the number of objects that the CIL has to process,
and more than double the number of log vectors that need to be
written to the journal.
At scale, this means delayed attributes cause a non-pipelined CIL to
become CPU bound processing all the extra items, resulting in a > 40%
performance degradation on 16-way file+xattr create worklaods.
Pipelining the CIL (as per 5.15) reduces the performance degradation
to 20%, but now the limitation is the rate at which the log items
can be written to the iclogs and iclogs be dispatched for IO and
completed.
Even log IO completion is slowed down by these intents, because it
now has to process 3x the number of items in the checkpoint.
Processing completed intents is especially inefficient here, because
we first insert the intent into the AIL, then remove it from the AIL
when the intent done is processed. IOWs, we are also doing expensive
operations in log IO completion we could completely avoid if we
didn't log completed intent/intent done pairs.
Enter log item whiteouts.
When an intent done is committed, we can check to see if the
associated intent is in the same checkpoint as we are currently
committing the intent done to. If so, we can mark the intent log
item with a whiteout and immediately free the intent done item
rather than committing it to the CIL. We can basically skip the
entire formatting and CIL insertion steps for the intent done item.
However, we cannot remove the intent item from the CIL at this point
because the unlocked per-cpu CIL item lists do not permit removal
without holding the CIL context lock exclusively. Transaction commit
only holds the context lock shared, hence the best we can do is mark
the intent item with a whiteout so that the CIL push can release it
rather than writing it to the log.
This means we never write the intent to the log if the intent done
has also been committed to the same checkpoint, but we'll always
write the intent if the intent done has not been committed or has
been committed to a different checkpoint. This will result in
correct log recovery behaviour in all cases, without the overhead of
logging unnecessary intents.
This intent whiteout concept is generic - we can apply it to all
intent/intent done pairs that have a direct 1:1 relationship. The
way deferred ops iterate and relog intents mean that all intents
currently have a 1:1 relationship with their done intent, and hence
we can apply this cancellation to all existing intent/intent done
implementations.
For delayed attributes with a 16-way 64kB xattr create workload,
whiteouts reduce the amount of journalled metadata from ~2.5GB/s
down to ~600MB/s and improve the creation rate from 9000/s to
14000/s.

We currently have a couple of helper functions that try to infer

combinations of operations it supports. This is incredibly fragile
and not very efficient as it requires checking specific combinations
of ops.
We need to be able to identify intent and intent done items quickly
and easily in upcoming patches, so simply add intent and intent done
type flags to the log item ops flags. These are static flags to
begin with, so intent items should have been typed like this from
the start.

XFS does not reserve quota for directory expansion when linking or
unlinking children from a directory. This means that we don't reject
the expansion with EDQUOT when we're at or near a hard limit, which
means that unprivileged userspace can use link()/unlink() to exceed
quota.
The fix for this is nuanced -- link operations don't always expand the
directory, and we allow a link to proceed with no space reservation if
we don't need to add a block to the directory to handle the addition.
Unlink operations generally do not expand the directory (you'd have to
free a block and then cause a btree split) and we can defer the
directory block freeing if there is no space reservation.
Moreover, there is a further bug in that we do not trigger the blockgc
workers to try to clear space when we're out of quota.
To fix both cases, create a new xfs_trans_alloc_dir function that
allocates the transaction, locks and joins the inodes, and reserves
quota for the directory. If there isn't sufficient space or quota,
we'll switch the caller to reservationless mode. This should prevent
quota usage overruns with the least restriction in functionality.

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.

In commit f8f2835a9c we changed the behavior of XFS to use EFIs to
remove blocks from an overfilled AGFL because there were complaints
about transaction overruns that stemmed from trying to free multiple
blocks in a single transaction.
Unfortunately, that commit missed a subtlety in the debug-mode
transaction accounting when a realtime volume is attached. If a
realtime file undergoes a data fork mapping change such that realtime
extents are allocated (or freed) in the same transaction that a data
device block is also allocated (or freed), we can trip a debugging
assertion. This can happen (for example) if a realtime extent is
allocated and it is necessary to reshape the bmbt to hold the new
mapping.
When we go to allocate a bmbt block from an AG, the first thing the data
device block allocator does is ensure that the freelist is the proper
length. If the freelist is too long, it will trim the freelist to the
proper length.
In debug mode, trimming the freelist calls xfs_trans_agflist_delta() to
record the decrement in the AG free list count. Prior to f8f28 we would
put the free block back in the free space btrees in the same
transaction, which calls xfs_trans_agblocks_delta() to record the
increment in the AG free block count. Since AGFL blocks are included in
the global free block count (fdblocks), there is no corresponding
fdblocks update, so the AGFL free satisfies the following condition in
xfs_trans_apply_sb_deltas:
/*
* Check that superblock mods match the mods made to AGF counters.
*/
ASSERT((tp->t_fdblocks_delta + tp->t_res_fdblocks_delta) ==
(tp->t_ag_freeblks_delta + tp->t_ag_flist_delta +
tp->t_ag_btree_delta));
The comparison here used to be: (X + 0) == ((X+1) + -1 + 0), where X is
the number blocks that were allocated.
After commit f8f28 we defer the block freeing to the next chained
transaction, which means that the calls to xfs_trans_agflist_delta and
xfs_trans_agblocks_delta occur in separate transactions. The (first)
transaction that shortens the free list trips on the comparison, which
has now become:
(X + 0) == ((X) + -1 + 0)
because we haven't freed the AGFL block yet; we've only logged an
intention to free it. When the second transaction (the deferred free)
commits, it will evaluate the expression as:
(0 + 0) == (1 + 0 + 0)
and trip over that in turn.
At this point, the astute reader may note that the two commits tagged by
this patch have been in the kernel for a long time but haven't generated
any bug reports. How is it that the author became aware of this bug?
This originally surfaced as an intermittent failure when I was testing
realtime rmap, but a different bug report by Zorro Lang reveals the same
assertion occuring on !lazysbcount filesystems.
The common factor to both reports (and why this problem wasn't
previously reported) becomes apparent if we consider when
xfs_trans_apply_sb_deltas is called by __xfs_trans_commit():
if (tp->t_flags & XFS_TRANS_SB_DIRTY)
xfs_trans_apply_sb_deltas(tp);
With a modern lazysbcount filesystem, transactions update only the
percpu counters, so they don't need to set XFS_TRANS_SB_DIRTY, hence
xfs_trans_apply_sb_deltas is rarely called.
However, updates to the count of free realtime extents are not part of
lazysbcount, so XFS_TRANS_SB_DIRTY will be set on transactions adding or
removing data fork mappings to realtime files; similarly,
XFS_TRANS_SB_DIRTY is always set on !lazysbcount filesystems.
Dave mentioned in response to an earlier version of this patch:
"IIUC, what you are saying is that this debug code is simply not
exercised in normal testing and hasn't been for the past decade? And it
still won't be exercised on anything other than realtime device testing?
"...it was debugging code from 1994 that was largely turned into dead
code when lazysbcounters were introduced in 2007. Hence I'm not sure it
holds any value anymore."
This debugging code isn't especially helpful - you can modify the
flcount on one AG and the freeblks of another AG, and it won't trigger.
Add the fact that nobody noticed for a decade, and let's just get rid of
it (and start testing realtime :P).
This bug was found by running generic/051 on either a V4 filesystem
lacking lazysbcount; or a V5 filesystem with a realtime volume.

There's a subtle design flaw in the deferred log item code that can lead
to pinning the log tail. Taking up the defer ops chain examples from
the previous commit, we can get trapped in sequences like this:
Caller hands us a transaction t0 with D0-D3 attached. The defer ops
chain will look like the following if the transaction rolls succeed:
t1: D0(t0), D1(t0), D2(t0), D3(t0)
t2: d4(t1), d5(t1), D1(t0), D2(t0), D3(t0)
t3: d5(t1), D1(t0), D2(t0), D3(t0)
...
t9: d9(t7), D3(t0)
t10: D3(t0)
t11: d10(t10), d11(t10)
t12: d11(t10)
In transaction 9, we finish d9 and try to roll to t10 while holding onto
an intent item for D3 that we logged in t0.
The previous commit changed the order in which we place new defer ops in
the defer ops processing chain to reduce the maximum chain length. Now
make xfs_defer_finish_noroll capable of relogging the entire chain
periodically so that we can always move the log tail forward. Most
chains will never get relogged, except for operations that generate very
long chains (large extents containing many blocks with different sharing
levels) or are on filesystems with small logs and a lot of ongoing
metadata updates.
Callers are now required to ensure that the transaction reservation is
large enough to handle logging done items and new intent items for the
maximum possible chain length. Most callers are careful to keep the
chain lengths low, so the overhead should be minimal.
The decision to relog an intent item is made based on whether the intent
was logged in a previous checkpoint, since there's no point in relogging
an intent into the same checkpoint.

When we replay unfinished intent items that have been recovered from the
log, it's possible that the replay will cause the creation of more
deferred work items. As outlined in commit 509955823c ("xfs: log
recovery should replay deferred ops in order"), later work items have an
implicit ordering dependency on earlier work items. Therefore, recovery
must replay the items (both recovered and created) in the same order
that they would have been during normal operation.
For log recovery, we enforce this ordering by using an empty transaction
to collect deferred ops that get created in the process of recovering a
log intent item to prevent them from being committed before the rest of
the recovered intent items. After we finish committing all the
recovered log items, we allocate a transaction with an enormous block
reservation, splice our huge list of created deferred ops into that
transaction, and commit it, thereby finishing all those ops.
This is /really/ hokey -- it's the one place in XFS where we allow
nested transactions; the splicing of the defer ops list is is inelegant
and has to be done twice per recovery function; and the broken way we
handle inode pointers and block reservations cause subtle use-after-free
and allocator problems that will be fixed by this patch and the two
patches after it.
Therefore, replace the hokey empty transaction with a structure designed
to capture each chain of deferred ops that are created as part of
recovering a single unfinished log intent. Finally, refactor the loop
that replays those chains to do so using one transaction per chain.

The iop_unlock method is called when comitting or cancelling a
transaction. In the latter case, the transaction may or may not be
aborted. While there is no known problem with the current code in
practice, this implementation is limited in that any log item
implementation that might want to differentiate between a commit and a
cancellation must rely on the aborted state. The aborted bit is only
set when the cancelled transaction is dirty, however. This means that
there is no way to distinguish between a commit and a clean transaction
cancellation.
For example, intent log items currently rely on this distinction. The
log item is either transferred to the CIL on commit or released on
transaction cancel. There is currently no possibility for a clean intent
log item in a transaction, but if that state is ever introduced a cancel
of such a transaction will immediately result in memory leaks of the
associated log item(s). This is an interface deficiency and landmine.
To clean this up, replace the iop_unlock method with an iop_release
method that is specific to transaction cancel. The existing
iop_committing method occurs at the same time as iop_unlock in the
commit path and there is no need for two separate callbacks here.
Overload the iop_committing method with the current commit time
iop_unlock implementations to eliminate the need for the latter and
further simplify the interface.

We don't handle buffer state properly in online repair's findroot

that, and we don't want to call the read verifiers on a buffer that
could be dirty (CRCs are only recomputed during log checkpoints).
Therefore, be more careful about what we do with a buffer -- if someone
else already attached ops that are not the ones for this btree type,
just ignore the buffer. We only attach our btree type's buf ops if it
matches the magic/uuid and structure checks.
We also modify xfs_buf_read_map to allow callers to set buffer ops on a
DONE buffer with NULL ops so that repair doesn't leave behind buffers
which won't have buffers attached to them.

Now that xfs_defer_finish() cancels on error, there is no need to

completed or cancelled before it returns.

we have to check for NULL in the abort case as the final tx roll
