The attribute is more relaxed than const and the functions could
dereference pointers, as long as the observable state is not changed. We
do have such functions, based on -Wsuggest-attribute=pure .
The visible effects of this patch are negligible, there are differences
in the assembly but hard to summarize.

Commit ac0c7cf8be ("btrfs: fix crash when tracepoint arguments are
freed by wq callbacks") added a void pointer, wtag, which is passed into
trace_btrfs_all_work_done() instead of the freed work item. This is
silly for a few reasons:
1. The freed work item still has the same address.
2. work is still in scope after it's freed, so assigning wtag doesn't
stop anyone from using it.
3. The tracepoint has always taken a void * argument, so assigning wtag
doesn't actually make things any more type-safe. (Note that the
original bug in commit bc074524e1 ("btrfs: prefix fsid to all trace
events") was that the void * was implicitly casted when it was passed
to btrfs_work_owner() in the trace point itself).
Instead, let's add some clearer warnings as comments.

Commit 9e0af23764 ("Btrfs: fix task hang under heavy compressed
write") worked around the issue that a recycled work item could get a
false dependency on the original work item due to how the workqueue code
guarantees non-reentrancy. It did so by giving different work functions
to different types of work.
However, the fixes in the previous few patches are more complete, as
they prevent a work item from being recycled at all (except for a tiny
window that the kernel workqueue code handles for us). This obsoletes
the previous fix, so we don't need the unique helpers for correctness.
The only other reason to keep them would be so they show up in stack
traces, but they always seem to be optimized to a tail call, so they
don't show up anyways. So, let's just get rid of the extra indirection.
While we're here, rename normal_work_helper() to the more informative
btrfs_work_helper().

We hit the following very strange deadlock on a system with Btrfs on a
loop device backed by another Btrfs filesystem:
1. The top (loop device) filesystem queues an async_cow work item from
cow_file_range_async(). We'll call this work X.
2. Worker thread A starts work X (normal_work_helper()).
3. Worker thread A executes the ordered work for the top filesystem
(run_ordered_work()).
4. Worker thread A finishes the ordered work for work X and frees X
(work->ordered_free()).
5. Worker thread A executes another ordered work and gets blocked on I/O
to the bottom filesystem (still in run_ordered_work()).
6. Meanwhile, the bottom filesystem allocates and queues an async_cow
work item which happens to be the recently-freed X.
7. The workqueue code sees that X is already being executed by worker
thread A, so it schedules X to be executed _after_ worker thread A
finishes (see the find_worker_executing_work() call in
process_one_work()).
Now, the top filesystem is waiting for I/O on the bottom filesystem, but
the bottom filesystem is waiting for the top filesystem to finish, so we
deadlock.
This happens because we are breaking the workqueue assumption that a
work item cannot be recycled while it still depends on other work. Fix
it by waiting to free the work item until we are done with all of the
related ordered work.
P.S.:
One might ask why the workqueue code doesn't try to detect a recycled
work item. It actually does try by checking whether the work item has
the same work function (find_worker_executing_work()), but in our case
the function is the same. This is the only key that the workqueue code
has available to compare, short of adding an additional, layer-violating
"custom key". Considering that we're the only ones that have ever hit
this, we should just play by the rules.
Unfortunately, we haven't been able to create a minimal reproducer other
than our full container setup using a compress-force=zstd filesystem on
top of another compress-force=zstd filesystem.

The huge numbers above come from insane number of async_work-s allocated
and queued by btrfs_wq_run_delayed_node.
The problem is caused by btrfs_wq_run_delayed_node() queuing more and more
works if the number of delayed items is above BTRFS_DELAYED_BACKGROUND. The
worker func (btrfs_async_run_delayed_root) processes at least
BTRFS_DELAYED_BATCH items (if they are present in the list). So, the machinery
works as expected while the list is almost empty. As soon as it is getting
bigger, worker func starts to process more than one item at a time, it takes
longer, and the chances to have async_works queued more than needed is getting
higher.
The problem above is worsened by another flaw of delayed-inode implementation:
if async_work was queued in a throttling branch (number of items >=
BTRFS_DELAYED_WRITEBACK), corresponding worker func won't quit until
the number of items < BTRFS_DELAYED_BACKGROUND / 2. So, it is possible that
the func occupies CPU infinitely (up to 30sec in my experiments): while the
func is trying to drain the list, the user activity may add more and more
items to the list.
The patch fixes both problems in straightforward way: refuse queuing too
many works in btrfs_wq_run_delayed_node and bail out of worker func if
at least BTRFS_DELAYED_WRITEBACK items are processed.

Reason:
Above warning is caused by:
Interrupt
-> bio_endio()
-> ...
-> scrub_put_ctx()
-> scrub_free_ctx() *1
-> ...
-> mutex_lock(&wr_ctx->wr_lock);
scrub_put_ctx() is allowed to be called in end_bio interrupt, but
in code design, it will never call scrub_free_ctx(sctx) in interrupe
context(above *1), because btrfs_scrub_dev() get one additional
reference of sctx->refs, which makes scrub_free_ctx() only called
withine btrfs_scrub_dev().
Now the code runs out of our wish, because free sequence in
scrub_pending_bio_dec() have a gap.
Current code:
-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------
scrub_pending_bio_dec() | btrfs_scrub_dev
-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------
atomic_dec(&sctx->bios_in_flight); |
wake_up(&sctx->list_wait); |
| scrub_put_ctx()
| -> atomic_dec_and_test(&sctx->refs)
scrub_put_ctx(sctx); |
-> atomic_dec_and_test(&sctx->refs)|
-> scrub_free_ctx() |
-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------
We expected:
-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------
scrub_pending_bio_dec() | btrfs_scrub_dev
-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------
atomic_dec(&sctx->bios_in_flight); |
wake_up(&sctx->list_wait); |
scrub_put_ctx(sctx); |
-> atomic_dec_and_test(&sctx->refs)|
| scrub_put_ctx()
| -> atomic_dec_and_test(&sctx->refs)
| -> scrub_free_ctx()
-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------
Fix:
Move scrub_pending_bio_dec() to a workqueue, to avoid this function run
in interrupt context.
Tested by check tracelog in debug.

This patch implement data repair function when direct read fails.
The detail of the implementation is:
- When we find the data is not right, we try to read the data from the other
mirror.
- When the io on the mirror ends, we will insert the endio work into the
dedicated btrfs workqueue, not common read endio workqueue, because the
original endio work is still blocked in the btrfs endio workqueue, if we
insert the endio work of the io on the mirror into that workqueue, deadlock
would happen.
- After we get right data, we write it back to the corrupted mirror.
- And if the data on the new mirror is still corrupted, we will try next
mirror until we read right data or all the mirrors are traversed.
- After the above work, we set the uptodate flag according to the result.

This has been reported and discussed for a long time, and this hang occurs in
both 3.15 and 3.16.
Btrfs now migrates to use kernel workqueue, but it introduces this hang problem.
Btrfs has a kind of work queued as an ordered way, which means that its
ordered_func() must be processed in the way of FIFO, so it usually looks like --
normal_work_helper(arg)
work = container_of(arg, struct btrfs_work, normal_work);
work->func() <---- (we name it work X)
for ordered_work in wq->ordered_list
ordered_work->ordered_func()
ordered_work->ordered_free()
The hang is a rare case, first when we find free space, we get an uncached block
group, then we go to read its free space cache inode for free space information,
so it will
file a readahead request
btrfs_readpages()
for page that is not in page cache
__do_readpage()
submit_extent_page()
btrfs_submit_bio_hook()
btrfs_bio_wq_end_io()
submit_bio()
end_workqueue_bio() <--(ret by the 1st endio)
queue a work(named work Y) for the 2nd
also the real endio()
So the hang occurs when work Y's work_struct and work X's work_struct happens
to share the same address.
A bit more explanation,
A,B,C -- struct btrfs_work
arg -- struct work_struct
kthread:
worker_thread()
pick up a work_struct from @worklist
process_one_work(arg)
worker->current_work = arg; <-- arg is A->normal_work
worker->current_func(arg)
normal_work_helper(arg)
A = container_of(arg, struct btrfs_work, normal_work);
A->func()
A->ordered_func()
A->ordered_free() <-- A gets freed
B->ordered_func()
submit_compressed_extents()
find_free_extent()
load_free_space_inode()
... <-- (the above readhead stack)
end_workqueue_bio()
btrfs_queue_work(work C)
B->ordered_free()
As if work A has a high priority in wq->ordered_list and there are more ordered
works queued after it, such as B->ordered_func(), its memory could have been
freed before normal_work_helper() returns, which means that kernel workqueue
code worker_thread() still has worker->current_work pointer to be work
A->normal_work's, ie. arg's address.
Meanwhile, work C is allocated after work A is freed, work C->normal_work
and work A->normal_work are likely to share the same address(I confirmed this
with ftrace output, so I'm not just guessing, it's rare though).
When another kthread picks up work C->normal_work to process, and finds our
kthread is processing it(see find_worker_executing_work()), it'll think
work C as a collision and skip then, which ends up nobody processing work C.
So the situation is that our kthread is waiting forever on work C.
Besides, there're other cases that can lead to deadlock, but the real problem
is that all btrfs workqueue shares one work->func, -- normal_work_helper,
so this makes each workqueue to have its own helper function, but only a
wraper pf normal_work_helper.
With this patch, I no long hit the above hang.

The original btrfs_workers has thresholding functions to dynamically
create or destroy kthreads.
Though there is no such function in kernel workqueue because the worker
is not created manually, we can still use the workqueue_set_max_active
to simulated the behavior, mainly to achieve a better HDD performance by
setting a high threshold on submit_workers.
(Sadly, no resource can be saved)
So in this patch, extra workqueue pending counters are introduced to
dynamically change the max active of each btrfs_workqueue_struct, hoping
to restore the behavior of the original thresholding function.
Also, workqueue_set_max_active use a mutex to protect workqueue_struct,
which is not meant to be called too frequently, so a new interval
mechanism is applied, that will only call workqueue_set_max_active after
a count of work is queued. Hoping to balance both the random and
sequence performance on HDD.

Add high priority function to btrfs_workqueue.
This is implemented by embedding a btrfs_workqueue into a

Use kernel workqueue to implement a new btrfs_workqueue_struct, which
has the ordering execution feature like the btrfs_worker.
The func is executed in a concurrency way, and the
ordred_func/ordered_free is executed in the sequence them are queued
after the corresponding func is done.
The new btrfs_workqueue works much like the original one, one workqueue
for normal work and a list for ordered work.
When a work is queued, ordered work will be added to the list and helper
function will be queued into the workqueue.
The helper function will execute a normal work and then check and execute as many
ordered work as possible in the sequence they were queued.
At this patch, high priority work queue or thresholding is not added yet.
The high priority feature and thresholding will be added in the following patches.

The current implementation of worker threads in Btrfs has races in
worker stopping code, which cause all kinds of panics and lockups when
running btrfs/011 xfstest in a loop. The problem is that
btrfs_stop_workers is unsynchronized with respect to check_idle_worker,
check_busy_worker and __btrfs_start_workers.
E.g., check_idle_worker race flow:
btrfs_stop_workers(): check_idle_worker(aworker):
- grabs the lock
- splices the idle list into the
working list
- removes the first worker from the
working list
- releases the lock to wait for
its kthread's completion
- grabs the lock
- if aworker is on the working list,
moves aworker from the working list
to the idle list
- releases the lock
- grabs the lock
- puts the worker
- removes the second worker from the
working list
......
btrfs_stop_workers returns, aworker is on the idle list
FS is umounted, memory is freed
......
aworker is waken up, fireworks ensue
With this applied, I wasn't able to trigger the problem in 48 hours,
whereas previously I could reliably reproduce at least one of these
races within an hour.

Each ordered operation has a free callback, and this was called with the
worker spinlock held. Josef made the free callback also call iput,
which we can't do with the spinlock.
This drops the spinlock for the free operation and grabs it again before
moving through the rest of the list. We'll circle back around to this
and find a cleaner way that doesn't bounce the lock around so much.

Al pointed out we have some random problems with the way we account for
num_workers_starting in the async thread stuff. First of all we need to make
sure to decrement num_workers_starting if we fail to start the worker, so make
__btrfs_start_workers do this. Also fix __btrfs_start_workers so that it
doesn't call btrfs_stop_workers(), there is no point in stopping everybody if we
failed to create a worker. Also check_pending_worker_creates needs to call
__btrfs_start_work in it's work function since it already increments
num_workers_starting.
People only start one worker at a time, so get rid of the num_workers argument
everywhere, and make btrfs_queue_worker a void since it will always succeed.

If we have a constant stream of end_io completions or crc work,
we can hit softlockup messages from the async helper threads. This

There is no reason to export two functions for entering the
refrigerator. Calling refrigerator() instead of try_to_freeze()
doesn't save anything noticeable or removes any race condition.
* Rename refrigerator() to __refrigerator() and make it return bool
indicating whether it scheduled out for freezing.
* Update try_to_freeze() to return bool and relay the return value of
__refrigerator() if freezing().
* Convert all refrigerator() users to try_to_freeze().
* Update documentation accordingly.
* While at it, add might_sleep() to try_to_freeze().

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

The btrfs async worker threads are used for a wide variety of things,
including processing bio end_io functions. This means that when
the endio threads aren't running, the rest of the FS isn't
able to do the final processing required to clear PageWriteback.
The endio threads also try to exit as they become idle and
start more as the work piles up. The problem is that starting more
threads means kthreadd may need to allocate ram, and that allocation
may wait until the global number of writeback pages on the system is
below a certain limit.
The result of that throttling is that end IO threads wait on
kthreadd, who is waiting on IO to end, which will never happen.
This commit fixes the deadlock by handing off thread startup to a
dedicated thread. It also fixes a bug where the on-demand thread
creation was creating far too many threads because it didn't take into
account threads being started by other procs.

It was possible for an async worker thread to be selected to
receive a new work item, but exit before the work item was
actually placed into that thread's work list.
This commit fixes the race by incrementing the num_pending
counter earlier, and making sure to check the number of pending
work items before a thread exits.

After a new worker thread starts, it is placed into the

is done properly.
