Recently I've been seeing xfs/051 fail on 1k block size filesystems.
Trying to trace the events during the test lead to the problem going
away, indicating that it was a race condition that lead to this
ASSERT failure:
XFS: Assertion failed: atomic_read(&pag->pag_ref) == 0, file: fs/xfs/xfs_mount.c, line: 156
.....
[<ffffffff814e1257>] xfs_free_perag+0x87/0xb0

[<ffffffff811f7018>] do_mount+0x218/0xd60
[<ffffffff811f7e5b>] SyS_mount+0x8b/0xd0
When I finally caught it with tracing enabled, I saw that AG 2 had
an elevated reference count and a buffer was responsible for it. I
tracked down the specific buffer, and found that it was missing the
final reference count release that would put it back on the LRU and
hence be found by xfs_wait_buftarg() calls in the log mount failure
handling.
The last four traces for the buffer before the assert were (trimmed
for relevance)
kworker/0:1-5259 xfs_buf_iodone: hold 2 lock 0 flags ASYNC
kworker/0:1-5259 xfs_buf_ioerror: hold 2 lock 0 error -5
mount-7163 xfs_buf_lock_done: hold 2 lock 0 flags ASYNC
mount-7163 xfs_buf_unlock: hold 2 lock 1 flags ASYNC
This is an async write that is completing, so there's nobody waiting
for it directly. Hence we call xfs_buf_relse() once all the
processing is complete. That does:
static inline void xfs_buf_relse(xfs_buf_t *bp)
{
xfs_buf_unlock(bp);
xfs_buf_rele(bp);
}
Now, it's clear that mount is waiting on the buffer lock, and that
it has been released by xfs_buf_relse() and gained by mount. This is
expected, because at this point the mount process is in
xfs_buf_delwri_submit() waiting for all the IO it submitted to
complete.
The mount process, however, is waiting on the lock for the buffer
because it is in xfs_buf_delwri_submit(). This waits for IO
completion, but it doesn't wait for the buffer reference owned by
the IO to go away. The mount process collects all the completions,
fails the log recovery, and the higher level code then calls
xfs_wait_buftarg() to free all the remaining buffers in the
filesystem.
The issue is that on unlocking the buffer, the scheduler has decided
that the mount process has higher priority than the the kworker
thread that is running the IO completion, and so immediately
switched contexts to the mount process from the semaphore unlock
code, hence preventing the kworker thread from finishing the IO
completion and releasing the IO reference to the buffer.
Hence by the time that xfs_wait_buftarg() is run, the buffer still
has an active reference and so isn't on the LRU list that the
function walks to free the remaining buffers. Hence we miss that
buffer and continue onwards to tear down the mount structures,
at which time we get find a stray reference count on the perag
structure. On a non-debug kernel, this will be ignored and the
structure torn down and freed. Hence when the kworker thread is then
rescheduled and the buffer released and freed, it will access a
freed perag structure.
The problem here is that when the log mount fails, we still need to
quiesce the log to ensure that the IO workqueues have returned to
idle before we run xfs_wait_buftarg(). By synchronising the
workqueues, we ensure that all IO completions are fully processed,
not just to the point where buffers have been unlocked. This ensures
we don't end up in the situation above.

libxfs: Optimize the loop for xfs_bitmap_empty
...
When we do inode readahead in log recovery, we do can do the
readahead before we've replayed the icreate transaction that stamps
the buffer with inode cores. The inode readahead verifier catches
this and marks the buffer as !done to indicate that it doesn't yet
contain valid inodes.
In adding buffer error notification (i.e. setting b_error = -EIO at
the same time as as we clear the done flag) to such a readahead
verifier failure, we can then get subsequent inode recovery failing
with this error:
XFS (dm-0): metadata I/O error: block 0xa00060 ("xlog_recover_do..(read#2)") error 5 numblks 32
This occurs when readahead completion races with icreate item replay
such as:
inode readahead
find buffer
lock buffer
submit RA io
....
icreate recovery
xfs_trans_get_buffer
find buffer
lock buffer
<blocks on RA completion>
.....
<ra completion>
fails verifier
clear XBF_DONE
set bp->b_error = -EIO
release and unlock buffer
<icreate gains lock>
icreate initialises buffer
marks buffer as done
adds buffer to delayed write queue
releases buffer
At this point, we have an initialised inode buffer that is up to
date but has an -EIO state registered against it. When we finally
get to recovering an inode in that buffer:
inode item recovery
xfs_trans_read_buffer
find buffer
lock buffer
sees XBF_DONE is set, returns buffer
sees bp->b_error is set
fail log recovery!
Essentially, we need xfs_trans_get_buf_map() to clear the error status of
the buffer when doing a lookup. This function returns uninitialised
buffers, so the buffer returned can not be in an error state and
none of the code that uses this function expects b_error to be set
on return. Indeed, there is an ASSERT(!bp->b_error); in the
transaction case in xfs_trans_get_buf_map() that would have caught
this if log recovery used transactions....
This patch firstly changes the inode readahead failure to set -EIO
on the buffer, and secondly changes xfs_buf_get_map() to never
return a buffer with an error state set so this first change doesn't
cause unexpected log recovery failures.

Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO:
(1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag
(2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback
The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible
error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent
when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent
bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario. Having both mechanisms
available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors
and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of
them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds
of error returns.
So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct
bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.

Currently, the isolate callback passed to the list_lru_walk family of
functions is supposed to just delete an item from the list upon returning
LRU_REMOVED or LRU_REMOVED_RETRY, while nr_items counter is fixed by
__list_lru_walk_one after the callback returns. Since the callback is
allowed to drop the lock after removing an item (it has to return
LRU_REMOVED_RETRY then), the nr_items can be less than the actual number
of elements on the list even if we check them under the lock. This makes
it difficult to move items from one list_lru_one to another, which is
required for per-memcg list_lru reparenting - we can't just splice the
lists, we have to move entries one by one.
This patch therefore introduces helpers that must be used by callback
functions to isolate items instead of raw list_del/list_move. These are
list_lru_isolate and list_lru_isolate_move. They not only remove the
entry from the list, but also fix the nr_items counter, making sure
nr_items always reflects the actual number of elements on the list if
checked under the appropriate lock.

Kmem accounting of memcg is unusable now, because it lacks slab shrinker
support. That means when we hit the limit we will get ENOMEM w/o any
chance to recover. What we should do then is to call shrink_slab, which
would reclaim old inode/dentry caches from this cgroup. This is what
this patch set is intended to do.
Basically, it does two things. First, it introduces the notion of
per-memcg slab shrinker. A shrinker that wants to reclaim objects per
cgroup should mark itself as SHRINKER_MEMCG_AWARE. Then it will be
passed the memory cgroup to scan from in shrink_control->memcg. For
such shrinkers shrink_slab iterates over the whole cgroup subtree under
the target cgroup and calls the shrinker for each kmem-active memory
cgroup.
Secondly, this patch set makes the list_lru structure per-memcg. It's
done transparently to list_lru users - everything they have to do is to
tell list_lru_init that they want memcg-aware list_lru. Then the
list_lru will automatically distribute objects among per-memcg lists
basing on which cgroup the object is accounted to. This way to make FS
shrinkers (icache, dcache) memcg-aware we only need to make them use
memcg-aware list_lru, and this is what this patch set does.
As before, this patch set only enables per-memcg kmem reclaim when the
pressure goes from memory.limit, not from memory.kmem.limit. Handling
memory.kmem.limit is going to be tricky due to GFP_NOFS allocations, and
it is still unclear whether we will have this knob in the unified
hierarchy.
This patch (of 9):
NUMA aware slab shrinkers use the list_lru structure to distribute
objects coming from different NUMA nodes to different lists. Whenever
such a shrinker needs to count or scan objects from a particular node,
it issues commands like this:
count = list_lru_count_node(lru, sc->nid);
freed = list_lru_walk_node(lru, sc->nid, isolate_func,
isolate_arg, &sc->nr_to_scan);
where sc is an instance of the shrink_control structure passed to it
from vmscan.
To simplify this, let's add special list_lru functions to be used by
shrinkers, list_lru_shrink_count() and list_lru_shrink_walk(), which
consolidate the nid and nr_to_scan arguments in the shrink_control
structure.
This will also allow us to avoid patching shrinkers that use list_lru
when we make shrink_slab() per-memcg - all we will have to do is extend
the shrink_control structure to include the target memcg and make
list_lru_shrink_{count,walk} handle this appropriately.

XFS traditionally sends all buffer I/O completion work to a single
workqueue. This includes metadata buffer completion and log buffer
completion. The log buffer completion requires a high priority queue to
prevent stalls due to log forces getting stuck behind other queued work.
Rather than continue to prioritize all buffer I/O completion due to the
needs of log completion, split log buffer completion off to
m_log_workqueue and move the high priority flag from m_buf_workqueue to
m_log_workqueue.
Add a b_ioend_wq wq pointer to xfs_buf to allow completion workqueue
customization on a per-buffer basis. Initialize b_ioend_wq to
m_buf_workqueue by default in the generic buffer I/O submission path.
Finally, override the default wq with the high priority m_log_workqueue
in the log buffer I/O submission path.

The xfslogd workqueue is a global, single-job workqueue for buffer ioend
processing. This means we allow for a single work item at a time for all
possible XFS mounts on a system. fsstress testing in loopback XFS over
XFS configurations has reproduced xfslogd deadlocks due to the single
threaded nature of the queue and dependencies introduced between the
separate XFS instances by online discard (-o discard).
Discard over a loopback device converts the discard request to a hole
punch (fallocate) on the underlying file. Online discard requests are
issued synchronously and from xfslogd context in XFS, hence the xfslogd
workqueue is blocked in the upper fs waiting on a hole punch request to
be servied in the lower fs. If the lower fs issues I/O that depends on
xfslogd to complete, both filesystems end up hung indefinitely. This is
reproduced reliabily by generic/013 on XFS->loop->XFS test devices with
the '-o discard' mount option.
Further, docker implementations appear to use this kind of configuration
for container instance filesystems by default (container fs->dm->
loop->base fs) and therefore are subject to this deadlock when running
on XFS.
Replace the global xfslogd workqueue with a per-mount variant. This
guarantees each mount access to a single worker and prevents deadlocks
due to inter-fs dependencies introduced by discard. Since the queue is
only responsible for buffer iodone processing at this point in time,
rename xfslogd to xfs-buf.

xfs_buf_read_uncached() has two failure modes. If can either return
NULL or bp->b_error != 0 depending on the type of failure, and not
all callers check for both. Fix it so that xfs_buf_read_uncached()
always returns the error status, and the buffer is returned as a
function parameter. The buffer will only be returned on success.

There is a lot of cookie-cutter code that looks like:
if (shutdown)
handle buffer error
xfs_buf_iorequest(bp)
error = xfs_buf_iowait(bp)
if (error)
handle buffer error
spread through XFS. There's significant complexity now in
xfs_buf_iorequest() to specifically handle this sort of synchronous
IO pattern, but there's all sorts of nasty surprises in different
error handling code dependent on who owns the buffer references and
the locks.
Pull this pattern into a single helper, where we can hide all the
synchronous IO warts and hence make the error handling for all the
callers much saner. This removes the need for a special extra
reference to protect IO completion processing, as we can now hold a
single reference across dispatch and waiting, simplifying the sync
IO smeantics and error handling.
In doing this, also rename xfs_buf_iorequest to xfs_buf_submit and
make it explicitly handle on asynchronous IO. This forces all users
to be switched specifically to one interface or the other and
removes any ambiguity between how the interfaces are to be used. It
also means that xfs_buf_iowait() goes away.

Internal buffer write error handling is a mess due to the unnatural
split between xfs_bioerror and xfs_bioerror_relse().
xfs_bwrite() only does sync IO and determines the handler to
call based on b_iodone, so for this caller the only difference
between xfs_bioerror() and xfs_bioerror_release() is the XBF_DONE
flag. We don't care what the XBF_DONE flag state is because we stale
the buffer in both paths - the next buffer lookup will clear
XBF_DONE because XBF_STALE is set. Hence we can use common
error handling for xfs_bwrite().
__xfs_buf_delwri_submit() is a similar - it's only ever called
on writes - all sync or async - and again there's no reason to
handle them any differently at all.

Currently the report of a bio error from completion
immediately marks the buffer with an error. The issue is that this
is racy w.r.t. synchronous IO - the submitter can see b_error being
set before the IO is complete, and hence we cannot differentiate
between submission failures and completion failures.
Add an internal b_io_error field protected by the b_lock to catch IO
completion errors, and only propagate that to the buffer during
final IO completion handling. Hence we can tell in xfs_buf_iorequest
if we've had a submission failure bey checking bp->b_error before
dropping our b_io_remaining reference - that reference will prevent
b_io_error values from being propagated to b_error in the event that
completion races with submission.

When synchronous IO runs IO completion work, it does so without an
IO reference or a hold reference on the buffer. The IO "hold
reference" is owned by the submitter, and released when the
submission is complete. The IO reference is released when both the
submitter and the bio end_io processing is run, and so if the io
completion work is run from IO completion context, it is run without
an IO reference.
Hence we can get the situation where the submitter can submit the
IO, see an error on the buffer and unlock and free the buffer while
there is still IO in progress. This leads to use-after-free and
memory corruption.
Fix this by taking a "sync IO hold" reference that is owned by the
IO and not released until after the buffer completion calls are run
to wake up synchronous waiters. This means that the buffer will not
be freed in any circumstance until all IO processing is completed.

For the special case of delwri buffer submission and waiting, we
don't need to issue IO synchronously at all. The second pass to call
xfs_buf_iowait() can be replaced with blocking on xfs_buf_lock() -
the buffer will be unlocked when the async IO is complete.
This formalises a sane the method of waiting for async IO - take an
extra reference, submit the IO, call xfs_buf_lock() when you want to
wait for IO completion. i.e.:
bp = xfs_buf_find();
xfs_buf_hold(bp);
bp->b_flags |= XBF_ASYNC;
xfs_buf_iosubmit(bp);
xfs_buf_lock(bp)
error = bp->b_error;
....
xfs_buf_relse(bp);
While this is somewhat racy for gathering IO errors, none of the
code that calls xfs_buf_delwri_submit() will race against other
users of the buffers being submitted. Even if they do, we don't
really care if the error is detected by the delwri code or the user
we raced against. Either way, the error will be detected and
handled.

Workqueues must be explicitly set as freezable to ensure they are frozen

Otherwise, the in-memory state can become inconsistent with what is on

free space btree corruptions that occur immediately after restore from

such problems if it races with hibernation.

We recently had a bug where buffers were slipping through log
recovery without any verifier attached to them. This was resulting
in on-disk CRC mismatches for valid data. Add some warning code to
catch this occurrence so that we catch such bugs during development
rather than not being aware they exist.
Note that we cannot do this verification unconditionally as non-CRC
filesystems don't always attach verifiers to the buffers being
written. e.g. during log recovery we cannot identify all the
different types of buffers correctly on non-CRC filesystems, so we
can't attach the correct verifiers in all cases and so we don't
attach any. Hence we don't want on non-CRC filesystems to avoid

Now, we can't completely remove these traces - mainly because
vm_map_ram() will do GFP_KERNEL allocation and that generates the
above warning before we get into the reclaim code, but we can turn
them all into false positive warnings.
To do that, use the method that DM and other IO context code uses to
avoid this problem: there is a process flag to tell memory reclaim
not to do IO that we can set appropriately. That prevents GFP_KERNEL
context reclaim being done from deep inside the vmalloc code in
places we can't directly pass a GFP_NOFS context to. That interface
has a pair of wrapper functions: memalloc_noio_save() and
memalloc_noio_restore().
Adding them around vm_map_ram and the vzalloc call in
kmem_alloc_large() will prevent deadlocks and most lockdep reports
for this issue. Also, convert the vzalloc() call in
kmem_alloc_large() to use __vmalloc() so that we can pass the
correct gfp context to the data page allocation routine inside
__vmalloc() so that it is clear that GFP_NOFS context is important
to this vmalloc call.

Some time ago, mkfs.xfs started picking the storage physical
sector size as the default filesystem "sector size" in order
to avoid RMW costs incurred by doing IOs at logical sector
size alignments.
However, this means that for a filesystem made with i.e.
a 4k sector size on an "advanced format" 4k/512 disk,
512-byte direct IOs are no longer allowed. This means
that XFS has essentially turned this AF drive into a hard
4K device, from the filesystem on up.
XFS's mkfs-specified "sector size" is really just controlling
the minimum size & alignment of filesystem metadata.
There is no real need to tightly couple XFS's minimal
metadata size to the minimum allowed direct IO size;
XFS can continue doing metadata in optimal sizes, but
still allow smaller DIOs for apps which issue them,
for whatever reason.
This patch adds a new field to the xfs_buftarg, so that
we now track 2 sizes:
1) The metadata sector size, which is the minimum unit and
alignment of IO which will be performed by metadata operations.
2) The device logical sector size
The first is used internally by the file system for metadata
alignment and IOs.
The second is used for the minimum allowed direct IO alignment.
This has passed xfstests on filesystems made with 4k sectors,
including when run under the patch I sent to ignore
XFS_IOC_DIOINFO, and issue 512 DIOs anyway. I also directly
tested end of block behavior on preallocated, sparse, and
existing files when we do a 512 IO into a 4k file on a
4k-sector filesystem, to be sure there were no unexpected
behaviors.

If we are doing aysnc writeback of metadata, we can get write errors
but have nobody to report them to. At the moment, we simply attempt
to reissue the write from io completion in the hope that it's a
transient error.
When it's not a transient error, the buffer is stuck forever in
this loop, and we cannot break out of it. Eventually, unmount will
hang because the AIL cannot be emptied and everything goes downhill
from them.
To solve this problem, only retry the write IO once before aborting
it. We don't throw the buffer away because some transient errors can
last minutes (e.g. FC path failover) or even hours (thin
provisioned devices that have run out of backing space) before they
go away. Hence we really want to keep trying until we can't try any
more.
Because the buffer was not cleaned, however, it does not get removed
from the AIL and hence the next pass across the AIL will start IO on
it again. As such, we still get the "retry forever" semantics that
we currently have, but we allow other access to the buffer in the
mean time. Meanwhile the filesystem can continue to modify the
buffer and relog it, so the IO errors won't hang the log or the
filesystem.
Now when we are pushing the AIL, we can see all these "permanent IO
error" buffers and we can issue a warning about failures before we
retry the IO. We can also catch these buffers when unmounting an
issue a corruption warning, too.

We currently use a compile-time constant to size the node array for the
list_lru structure. Due to this, we don't need to allocate any memory at
initialization time. But as a consequence, the structures that contain
embedded list_lru lists can become way too big (the superblock for
instance contains two of them).
This patch aims at ameliorating this situation by dynamically allocating
the node arrays with the firmware provided nr_node_ids.

In converting the buffer lru lists to use the generic code, the locking
for marking the buffers as on the dispose list was lost. This results in
confusion in LRU buffer tracking and acocunting, resulting in reference
counts being mucked up and filesystem beig unmountable.
To fix this, introduce an internal buffer spinlock to protect the state
field that holds the dispose list information. Because there is now
locking needed around xfs_buf_lru_add/del, and they are used in exactly
one place each two lines apart, get rid of the wrappers and code the logic
directly in place.
Further, the LRU emptying code used on unmount is less than optimal.
Convert it to use a dispose list as per a normal shrinker walk, and repeat
the walk that fills the dispose list until the LRU is empty. Thi avoids
needing to drop and regain the LRU lock for every item being freed, and
allows the same logic as the shrinker isolate call to be used. Simpler,
easier to understand.

Note: this changes the on-disk remote attribute format. I assert
that this is OK to do as CRCs are marked experimental and the first
kernel it is included in has not yet reached release yet. Further,
the userspace utilities are still evolving and so anyone using this
stuff right now is a developer or tester using volatile filesystems
for testing this feature. Hence changing the format right now to
save longer term pain is the right thing to do.
The fundamental change is to move from a header per extent in the
attribute to a header per filesytem block in the attribute. This
means there are more header blocks and the parsing of the attribute
data is slightly more complex, but it has the advantage that we
always know the size of the attribute on disk based on the length of
the data it contains.
This is where the header-per-extent method has problems. We don't
know the size of the attribute on disk without first knowing how
many extents are used to hold it. And we can't tell from a
mapping lookup, either, because remote attributes can be allocated
contiguously with other attribute blocks and so there is no obvious
way of determining the actual size of the atribute on disk short of
walking and mapping buffers.
The problem with this approach is that if we map a buffer
incorrectly (e.g. we make the last buffer for the attribute data too
long), we then get buffer cache lookup failure when we map it
correctly. i.e. we get a size mismatch on lookup. This is not
necessarily fatal, but it's a cache coherency problem that can lead
to returning the wrong data to userspace or writing the wrong data
to disk. And debug kernels will assert fail if this occurs.
I found lots of niggly little problems trying to fix this issue on a
4k block size filesystem, finally getting it to pass with lots of
fixes. The thing is, 1024 byte filesystems still failed, and it was
getting really complex handling all the corner cases that were
showing up. And there were clearly more that I hadn't found yet.
It is complex, fragile code, and if we don't fix it now, it will be
complex, fragile code forever more.
Hence the simple fix is to add a header to each filesystem block.
This gives us the same relationship between the attribute data
length and the number of blocks on disk as we have without CRCs -
it's a linear mapping and doesn't require us to guess anything. It
is simple to implement, too - the remote block count calculated at
lookup time can be used by the remote attribute set/get/remove code
without modification for both CRC and non-CRC filesystems. The world
becomes sane again.
Because the copy-in and copy-out now need to iterate over each
filesystem block, I moved them into helper functions so we separate
the block mapping and buffer manupulations from the attribute data
and CRC header manipulations. The code becomes much clearer as a
result, and it is a lot easier to understand and debug. It also
appears to be much more robust - once it worked on 4k block size
filesystems, it has worked without failure on 1k block size
filesystems, too.

xfs_buf_rele: bno 0x2 nblks 0x1 hold 3 caller xfs_buf_item_unlock
And that is the AGI buffer from cold cache read into memory to
transaction abort. You can see at transaction abort the bli is dirty
and only has a single reference. The item is not pinned, and it's
not in the AIL. Hence the only reference to it is this transaction.
The problem is that the xfs_buf_item_unlock() call is dropping the
last reference to the xfs_buf_log_item attached to the buffer (which
holds a reference to the buffer), but it is not freeing the
xfs_buf_log_item. Hence nothing will ever release the buffer, and
the unmount hangs waiting for this reference to go away.
The fix is simple - xfs_buf_item_unlock needs to detect the last
reference going away in this case and free the xfs_buf_log_item to
release the reference it holds on the buffer.

metadata inode that has a partially corrupted extent map (i.e. the

try to read from the corrupted block address.
In this case, just fail the lookup. If it is readahead being issued,
it will simply not be done, but if it is real read that fails we
will get an error being reported. Ideally this case should result
in an EFSCORRUPTED error being reported, but we cannot return an

Split the error handling for these reads into two - a failure to get

Add a verifier function callback capability to the buffer read
interfaces. This will be used by the callers to supply a function
that verifies the contents of the buffer when it is read from disk.
This patch does not provide callback functions, but simply modifies
the interfaces to allow them to be called.
The reason for adding this to the read interfaces is that it is very
difficult to tell fom the outside is a buffer was just read from
disk or whether we just pulled it out of cache. Supplying a callbck
allows the buffer cache to use it's internal knowledge of the buffer
to execute it only when the buffer is read from disk.
It is intended that the verifier functions will mark the buffer with
an EFSCORRUPTED error when verification fails. This allows the
reading context to distinguish a verification error from an IO
error, and potentially take further actions on the buffer (e.g.
attempt repair) based on the error reported.

Error handling in xfs_buf_ioapply_map() does not handle IO reference
counts correctly. We increment the b_io_remaining count before
building the bio, but then fail to decrement it in the failure case.
This leads to the buffer never running IO completion and releasing
the reference that the IO holds, so at unmount we can leak the
buffer. This leak is captured by this assert failure during unmount:
XFS: Assertion failed: atomic_read(&pag->pag_ref) == 0, file: fs/xfs/xfs_mount.c, line: 273
This is not a new bug - the b_io_remaining accounting has had this
problem for a long, long time - it's just very hard to get a
zero length bio being built by this code...
Further, the buffer IO error can be overwritten on a multi-segment
buffer by subsequent bio completions for partial sections of the
buffer. Hence we should only set the buffer error status if the
buffer is not already carrying an error status. This ensures that a
partial IO error on a multi-segment buffer will not be lost. This
part of the problem is a regression, however.

While xfs_buftarg_shrink() is freeing buffers from the dispose list (filled with
buffers from lru list), there is a possibility to have xfs_buf_stale() racing
with it, and removing buffers from dispose list before xfs_buftarg_shrink() does
it.
This happens because xfs_buftarg_shrink() handle the dispose list without
locking and the test condition in xfs_buf_stale() checks for the buffer being in
*any* list:
if (!list_empty(&bp->b_lru))
If the buffer happens to be on dispose list, this causes the buffer counter of
lru list (btp->bt_lru_nr) to be decremented twice (once in xfs_buftarg_shrink()
and another in xfs_buf_stale()) causing a wrong account usage of the lru list.
This may cause xfs_buftarg_shrink() to return a wrong value to the memory
shrinker shrink_slab(), and such account error may also cause an underflowed
value to be returned; since the counter is lower than the current number of
items in the lru list, a decrement may happen when the counter is 0, causing
an underflow on the counter.
The fix uses a new flag field (and a new buffer flag) to serialize buffer
handling during the shrink process. The new flag field has been designed to use
btp->bt_lru_lock/unlock instead of xfs_buf_lock/unlock mechanism.

To support discontiguous buffers in the buffer cache, we need to
separate the cache index variables from the I/O map. While this is
currently a 1:1 mapping, discontiguous buffer support will break
this relationship.
However, for caching purposes, we can still treat them the same as a
contiguous buffer - the block number of the first block and the
length of the buffer - as that is still a unique representation.
Also, the only way we will ever access the discontiguous regions of
buffers is via bulding the complete buffer in the first place, so
using the initial block number and entire buffer length is a sane
way to index the buffers.
Add a block mapping vector construct to the xfs_buf and use it in
the places where we are doing IO instead of the current
b_bn/b_length variables.

Commit de1cbee which removed b_file_offset in favor of b_bn introduced a bug
causing xfs_buf_allocate_memory() to overestimate the number of necessary
pages. The problem is that xfs_buf_alloc() sets b_bn to -1 and thus effectively
every buffer is straddling a page boundary which causes
xfs_buf_allocate_memory() to allocate two pages and use vmalloc() for access
which is unnecessary.
Dave says xfs_buf_alloc() doesn't need to set b_bn to -1 anymore since the
buffer is inserted into the cache only after being fully initialized now.
So just make xfs_buf_alloc() fill in proper block number from the beginning.

Just about all callers of xfs_buf_read() and xfs_buf_get() use XBF_DONTBLOCK.
This is used to make memory allocation use GFP_NOFS rather than GFP_KERNEL to
avoid recursion through memory reclaim back into the filesystem.
All the blocking get calls in growfs occur inside a transaction, even though
they are no part of the transaction, so all allocation will be GFP_NOFS due to
the task flag PF_TRANS being set. The blocking read calls occur during log
recovery, so they will probably be unaffected by converting to GFP_NOFS
allocations.
Hence make XBF_DONTBLOCK behaviour always occur for buffers and kill the flag.

log IO - both writing iclogs and during log recovery. In all other

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.

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.

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 ]

Stats show that for an 8-way unlink @ ~80,000 unlinks/s we are doing
~1 million cache hit lookups to ~3000 buffer creates. That's almost
3 orders of magnitude more cahce hits than misses, so optimising for
cache hits is quite important. In the cache hit case, we do not need
to allocate a new buffer in case of a cache miss, so we are
effectively hitting the allocator for no good reason for vast the
majority of calls to _xfs_buf_find. 8-way create workloads are
showing similar cache hit/miss ratios.
The result is profiles that look like this:

388.00 3.7% kmem_cache_free [kernel.kallsyms]
331.00 3.2% xfs_log_commit_cil [kernel.kallsyms]
Further, there is a fair bit of work involved in initialising a new
buffer once a cache miss has occurred and we currently do that under
the rbtree spinlock. That increases spinlock hold time on what are
heavily used trees.
To fix this, remove the initialisation of the buffer from
_xfs_buf_find() and only allocate the new buffer once we've had a
cache miss. Initialise the buffer immediately after allocating it in
xfs_buf_get, too, so that is it ready for insert if we get another
cache miss after allocation. This minimises lock hold time and
avoids unnecessary allocator churn. The resulting profiles look
like:
