Dave Chinner 0e7ab7efe7 xfs: Throttle commits on delayed background CIL push
In certain situations the background CIL push can be indefinitely
delayed. While we have workarounds from the obvious cases now, it
doesn't solve the underlying issue. This issue is that there is no
upper limit on the CIL where we will either force or wait for
a background push to start, hence allowing the CIL to grow without
bound until it consumes all log space.

To fix this, add a new wait queue to the CIL which allows background
pushes to wait for the CIL context to be switched out. This happens
when the push starts, so it will allow us to block incoming
transaction commit completion until the push has started. This will
only affect processes that are running modifications, and only when
the CIL threshold has been significantly overrun.

This has no apparent impact on performance, and doesn't even trigger
until over 45 million inodes had been created in a 16-way fsmark
test on a 2GB log. That was limiting at 64MB of log space used, so
the active CIL size is only about 3% of the total log in that case.
The concurrent removal of those files did not trigger the background
sleep at all.

Dave Chinner 108a42358a xfs: Lower CIL flush limit for large logs
The current CIL size aggregation limit is 1/8th the log size. This
means for large logs we might be aggregating at least 250MB of dirty objects
in memory before the CIL is flushed to the journal. With CIL shadow
buffers sitting around, this means the CIL is often consuming >500MB
of temporary memory that is all allocated under GFP_NOFS conditions.

Flushing the CIL can take some time to do if there is other IO
ongoing, and can introduce substantial log force latency by itself.
It also pins the memory until the objects are in the AIL and can be
written back and reclaimed by shrinkers. Hence this threshold also
tends to determine the minimum amount of memory XFS can operate in
under heavy modification without triggering the OOM killer.

Modify the CIL space limit to prevent such huge amounts of pinned
metadata from aggregating. We can have 2MB of log IO in flight at
once, so limit aggregation to 16x this size. This threshold was
chosen as it little impact on performance (on 16-way fsmark) or log
traffic but pins a lot less memory on large logs especially under
heavy memory pressure.  An aggregation limit of 8x had 5-10%
performance degradation and a 50% increase in log throughput for
the same workload, so clearly that was too small for highly
concurrent workloads on large logs.

This was found via trace analysis of AIL behaviour. e.g. insertion
from a single CIL flush:

xfs_ail_insert: old lsn 0/0 new lsn 1/3033090 type XFS_LI_INODE flags IN_AIL

$ grep xfs_ail_insert /mnt/scratch/s.t |grep "new lsn 1/3033090" |wc -l
1721823
$

So there were 1.7 million objects inserted into the AIL from this
CIL checkpoint, the first at 2323.392108, the last at 2325.667566 which
was the end of the trace (i.e. it hadn't finished). Clearly a major
problem.

Dave Chinner dd401770b0 xfs: refactor and split xfs_log_done()
xfs_log_done() does two separate things. Firstly, it triggers commit
records to be written for permanent transactions, and secondly it
releases or regrants transaction reservation space.

Since delayed logging was introduced, transactions no longer write
directly to the log, hence they never have the XLOG_TIC_INITED flag
cleared on them. Hence transactions never write commit records to
the log and only need to modify reservation space.

Split up xfs_log_done into two parts, and only call the parts of the
operation needed for the context xfs_log_done() is currently being
called from.

Dave Chinner 7ec949212d xfs: don't try to write a start record into every iclog
The xlog_write() function iterates over iclogs until it completes
writing all the log vectors passed in. The ticket tracks whether
a start record has been written or not, so only the first iclog gets
a start record. We only ever pass single use tickets to
xlog_write() so we only ever need to write a start record once per
xlog_write() call.

Hence we don't need to store whether we should write a start record
in the ticket as the callers provide all the information we need to
determine if a start record should be written. For the moment, we
have to ensure that we clear the XLOG_TIC_INITED appropriately so
the code in xfs_log_done() still works correctly for committing
transactions.

(darrick: Note the slight behavior change that we always deduct the
size of the op header from the ticket, even for unmount records)

Christoph Hellwig 79b54d9bfc xfs: use bios directly to write log buffers
Currently the XFS logging code uses the xfs_buf structure and
associated APIs to write the log buffers to disk.  This requires
various special cases in the log code and is generally not very
optimal.

Instead of using a buffer just allocate a kmem_alloc_larger region for
each log buffer, and use a bio and bio_vec array embedded in the iclog
structure to write the buffer to disk.  This also allows for using
the bio split and chaining case to deal with the case of a log
buffer wrapping around the end of the log.

Remove the verbose license text from XFS files and replace them
with SPDX tags. This does not change the license of any of the code,
merely refers to the common, up-to-date license files in LICENSES/

This change was mostly scripted. fs/xfs/Makefile and
fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_fs.h were modified by hand, the rest were detected
and modified by the following command:

for f in `git grep -l "GNU General" fs/xfs/` ; do
	echo $f
	cat $f | awk -f hdr.awk > $f.new
	mv -f $f.new $f
done

And the hdr.awk script that did the modification (including
detecting the difference between GPL-2.0 and GPL-2.0+ licenses)
is as follows:

$ cat hdr.awk
BEGIN {
	hdr = 1.0
	tag = "GPL-2.0"
	str = ""
}

/^ \* This program is free software/ {
	hdr = 2.0;

Mark Rutland 6aa7de0591 locking/atomics: COCCINELLE/treewide: Convert trivial ACCESS_ONCE() patterns to READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE()
Please do not apply this to mainline directly, instead please re-run the
coccinelle script shown below and apply its output.

For several reasons, it is desirable to use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() in
preference to ACCESS_ONCE(), and new code is expected to use one of the
former. So far, there's been no reason to change most existing uses of
ACCESS_ONCE(), as these aren't harmful, and changing them results in
churn.

However, for some features, the read/write distinction is critical to
correct operation. To distinguish these cases, separate read/write
accessors must be used. This patch migrates (most) remaining
ACCESS_ONCE() instances to {READ,WRITE}_ONCE(), using the following
coccinelle script:

----
// Convert trivial ACCESS_ONCE() uses to equivalent READ_ONCE() and
// WRITE_ONCE()

Brian Foster d4ca1d550d xfs: dump transaction usage details on log reservation overrun
If a transaction log reservation overrun occurs, the ticket data
associated with the reservation is dumped in xfs_log_commit_cil().
This occurs long after the transaction items and details have been
removed from the transaction and effectively lost. This limited set
of ticket data provides very little information to support debugging
transaction overruns based on the typical report.

To improve transaction log reservation overrun reporting, create a
helper to dump transaction details such as log items, log vector
data, etc., as well as the underlying ticket data for the
transaction. Move the overrun detection from xfs_log_commit_cil() to
xlog_cil_insert_items() so it occurs prior to migration of the
logged items to the CIL. Call the new helper such that it is able to
dump this transaction data before it is lost.

Also, warn on overrun to provide callstack context for the offending
transaction and include a few additional messages from
xlog_cil_insert_items() to display the reservation consumed locally
for overhead such as log vector headers, split region headers and
the context ticket. This provides a complete general breakdown of
the reservation consumption of a transaction when/if it happens to
overrun the reservation.

Brian Foster 12818d24db xfs: rework log recovery to submit buffers on LSN boundaries
The fix to log recovery to update the metadata LSN in recovered buffers
introduces the requirement that a buffer is submitted only once per
current LSN. Log recovery currently submits buffers on transaction
boundaries. This is not sufficient as the abstraction between log
records and transactions allows for various scenarios where multiple
transactions can share the same current LSN. If independent transactions
share an LSN and both modify the same buffer, log recovery can
incorrectly skip updates and leave the filesystem in an inconsisent
state.

In preparation for proper metadata LSN updates during log recovery,
update log recovery to submit buffers for write on LSN change boundaries
rather than transaction boundaries. Explicitly track the current LSN in
a new struct xlog field to handle the various corner cases of when the
current LSN may or may not change.

Brian Foster 609adfc2ed xfs: debug mode log record crc error injection
XFS now uses CRC verification over a limited section of the log to
detect torn writes prior to a crash. This is difficult to test directly
due to the timing and hardware requirements to cause a short write.

Add a mechanism to inject CRC errors into log records to facilitate
testing torn write detection during log recovery. This mechanism is
dangerous and can result in filesystem corruption. Thus, it is only
available in DEBUG mode for testing/development purposes. Set a non-zero
value to the following sysfs entry to enable error injection:

	/sys/fs/xfs/<dev>/log/log_badcrc_factor

Once enabled, XFS intentionally writes an invalid CRC to a log record at
some random point in the future based on the provided frequency. The
filesystem immediately shuts down once the record has been written to
the physical log to prevent metadata writeback (e.g., AIL insertion)
once the log write completes. This helps reasonably simulate a torn
write to the log as the affected record must be safe to discard. The
next mount after the intentional shutdown requires log recovery and
should detect and recover from the torn write.

Note again that this _will_ result in data loss or worse. For testing
and development purposes only!

Brian Foster a45086e27d xfs: validate metadata LSNs against log on v5 superblocks
Since the onset of v5 superblocks, the LSN of the last modification has
been included in a variety of on-disk data structures. This LSN is used
to provide log recovery ordering guarantees (e.g., to ensure an older
log recovery item is not replayed over a newer target data structure).

While this works correctly from the point a filesystem is formatted and
mounted, userspace tools have some problematic behaviors that defeat
this mechanism. For example, xfs_repair historically zeroes out the log
unconditionally (regardless of whether corruption is detected). If this
occurs, the LSN of the filesystem is reset and the log is now in a
problematic state with respect to on-disk metadata structures that might
have a larger LSN. Until either the log catches up to the highest
previously used metadata LSN or each affected data structure is modified
and written out without incident (which resets the metadata LSN), log
recovery is susceptible to filesystem corruption.

This problem is ultimately addressed and repaired in the associated
userspace tools. The kernel is still responsible to detect the problem
and notify the user that something is wrong. Check the superblock LSN at
mount time and fail the mount if it is invalid. From that point on,
trigger verifier failure on any metadata I/O where an invalid LSN is
detected. This results in a filesystem shutdown and guarantees that we
do not log metadata changes with invalid LSNs on disk. Since this is a
known issue with a known recovery path, present a warning to instruct
the user how to recover.

Brian Foster f0b2efad16 xfs: don't leave EFIs on AIL on mount failure
Log recovery occurs in two phases at mount time. In the first phase,
EFIs and EFDs are processed and potentially cancelled out. EFIs without
EFD objects are inserted into the AIL for processing and recovery in the
second phase. xfs_mountfs() runs various other operations between the
phases and is thus subject to failure. If failure occurs after the first
phase but before the second, pending EFIs sit on the AIL, pin it and
cause the mount to hang.

Update the mount sequence to ensure that pending EFIs are cancelled in
the event of failure. Add a recovery cancellation mechanism to iterate
the AIL and cancel all EFI items when requested. Plumb cancellation
support through the log mount finish helper and update xfs_mountfs() to
invoke cancellation in the event of failure after recovery has started.

Dave Chinner 239880ef64 xfs: decouple log and transaction headers
xfs_trans.h has a dependency on xfs_log.h for a couple of
structures. Most code that does transactions doesn't need to know
anything about the log, but this dependency means that they have to
include xfs_log.h. Decouple the xfs_trans.h and xfs_log.h header
files and clean up the includes to be in dependency order.

In doing this, remove the direct include of xfs_trans_reserve.h from
xfs_trans.h so that we remove the dependency between xfs_trans.h and
xfs_mount.h. Hence the xfs_trans.h include can be moved to the
indicate the actual dependencies other header files have on it.

Note that these are kernel only header files, so this does not
translate to any userspace changes at all.

Dave Chinner 2c6e24ce1a xfs: prevent deadlock trying to cover an active log
Recent analysis of a deadlocked XFS filesystem from a kernel
crash dump indicated that the filesystem was stuck waiting for log
space. The short story of the hang on the RHEL6 kernel is this:

	- the tail of the log is pinned by an inode
	- the inode has been pushed by the xfsaild
	- the inode has been flushed to it's backing buffer and is
	  currently flush locked and hence waiting for backing
	  buffer IO to complete and remove it from the AIL
	- the backing buffer is marked for write - it is on the
	  delayed write queue
	- the inode buffer has been modified directly and logged
	  recently due to unlinked inode list modification
	- the backing buffer is pinned in memory as it is in the
	  active CIL context.
	- the xfsbufd won't start buffer writeback because it is
	  pinned
	- xfssyncd won't force the log because it sees the log as
	  needing to be covered and hence wants to issue a dummy
	  transaction to move the log covering state machine along.

Hence there is no trigger to force the CIL to the log and hence
unpin the inode buffer and therefore complete the inode IO, remove
it from the AIL and hence move the tail of the log along, allowing
transactions to start again.

Mainline kernels also have the same deadlock, though the signature
is slightly different - the inode buffer never reaches the delayed
write lists because xfs_buf_item_push() sees that it is pinned and
hence never adds it to the delayed write list that the xfsaild
flushes.

There are two possible solutions here. The first is to simply force
the log before trying to cover the log and so ensure that the CIL is
emptied before we try to reserve space for the dummy transaction in
the xfs_log_worker(). While this might work most of the time, it is
still racy and is no guarantee that we don't get stuck in
xfs_trans_reserve waiting for log space to come free. Hence it's not
the best way to solve the problem.

The second solution is to modify xfs_log_need_covered() to be aware
of the CIL. We only should be attempting to cover the log if there
is no current activity in the log - covering the log is the process
of ensuring that the head and tail in the log on disk are identical
(i.e. the log is clean and at idle). Hence, by definition, if there
are items in the CIL then the log is not at idle and so we don't
need to attempt to cover it.

When we don't need to cover the log because it is active or idle, we
issue a log force from xfs_log_worker() - if the log is idle, then
this does nothing.  However, if the log is active due to there being
items in the CIL, it will force the items in the CIL to the log and
unpin them.

In the case of the above deadlock scenario, instead of
xfs_log_worker() getting stuck in xfs_trans_reserve() attempting to
cover the log, it will instead force the log, thereby unpinning the
inode buffer, allowing IO to be issued and complete and hence
removing the inode that was pinning the tail of the log from the
AIL. At that point, everything will start moving along again. i.e.
the xfs_log_worker turns back into a watchdog that can alleviate
deadlocks based around pinned items that prevent the tail of the log
from being moved...

The xc_cil_lock is used for two purposes - to protect the CIL

two logically separate structures and operations, so can have their
own locks. This means that pushing on the CIL and the commit wait

throught eh CIL, this is a big win.

Because the CRC always returns the calcuation LE format, even on BE
systems. So rather than always having to byte swap it everywhere and
have all the force casts and anootations for sparse, it seems simpler to
just make it a __le32 everywhere....

Christoph Hellwig 0e446be448 xfs: add CRC checks to the log
Implement CRCs for the log buffers.  We re-use a field in
struct xlog_rec_header that was used for a weak checksum of the
log buffer payload in debug builds before.

The new checksumming uses the crc32c checksum we will use elsewhere
in XFS, and also protects the record header and addition cycle data.

Due to this there are some interesting changes in xlog_sync, as we
need to do the cycle wrapping for the split buffer case much earlier,
as we would touch the buffer after generating the checksum otherwise.

The CRC calculation is always enabled, even for non-CRC filesystems,
as adding this CRC does not change the log format. On non-CRC
filesystems, only issue an alert if a CRC mismatch is found and
allow recovery to continue - this will act as an indicator that
log recovery problems are a result of log corruption. On CRC enabled
filesystems, however, log recovery will fail.

Note that existing debug kernels will write a simple checksum value
to the log, so the first time this is run on a filesystem taht was
last used on a debug kernel it will through CRC mismatch warning
errors. These can be ignored.

Initially based on a patch from Dave Chinner, then modified
significantly by Christoph Hellwig.  Modified again by Dave Chinner
to get to this version.

Dave Chinner 4c2d542f2e xfs: Do background CIL flushes via a workqueue
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.

Christoph Hellwig 09a423a3d6 xfs: split tail_lsn assignments from log space wakeups
Currently xfs_log_move_tail has a tail_lsn argument that is horribly
overloaded: it may contain either an actual lsn to assign to the log tail,
0 as a special case to use the last sync LSN, or 1 to indicate that no tail
LSN assignment should be performed, and we should opportunisticly wake up
at one task waiting for log space even if we did not move the LSN.

Remove the tail lsn assigned from xfs_log_move_tail and make the two callers
use xlog_assign_tail_lsn instead of the current variant of partially using
the code in xfs_log_move_tail and partially opencoding it.  Note that means
we grow an addition lock roundtrip on the AIL lock for each bulk update
or delete, which is still far less than what we had before introducing the
bulk operations.  If this proves to be a problem we can still add a variant
of xlog_assign_tail_lsn that expects the lock to be held already.

Also rename the remainder of xfs_log_move_tail to xfs_log_space_wake as
that name describes its functionality much better.
