Zhihao Cheng 590a809ff7 jbd2: check 'jh->b_transaction' before removing it from checkpoint
Following process will corrupt ext4 image:
Step 1:
jbd2_journal_commit_transaction
 __jbd2_journal_insert_checkpoint(jh, commit_transaction)
 // Put jh into trans1->t_checkpoint_list
 journal->j_checkpoint_transactions = commit_transaction
 // Put trans1 into journal->j_checkpoint_transactions

Step 2:
do_get_write_access
 test_clear_buffer_dirty(bh) // clear buffer dirty,set jbd dirty
 __jbd2_journal_file_buffer(jh, transaction) // jh belongs to trans2

Step 3:
drop_cache
 journal_shrink_one_cp_list
  jbd2_journal_try_remove_checkpoint
   if (!trylock_buffer(bh))  // lock bh, true
   if (buffer_dirty(bh))     // buffer is not dirty
   __jbd2_journal_remove_checkpoint(jh)
   // remove jh from trans1->t_checkpoint_list

Step 4:
jbd2_log_do_checkpoint
 trans1 = journal->j_checkpoint_transactions
 // jh is not in trans1->t_checkpoint_list
 jbd2_cleanup_journal_tail(journal)  // trans1 is done

Step 5: Power cut, trans2 is not committed, jh is lost in next mounting.

Fix it by checking 'jh->b_transaction' before remove it from checkpoint.

Zhang Yi 373ac52179 jbd2: fix checkpoint cleanup performance regression
journal_clean_one_cp_list() has been merged into
journal_shrink_one_cp_list(), but do chekpoint buffer cleanup from the
committing process is just a best effort, it should stop scan once it
meet a busy buffer, or else it will cause a lot of invalid buffer scan
and checks. We catch a performance regression when doing fs_mark tests
below.

Test cmd:
 ./fs_mark  -d  scratch  -s  1024  -n  10000  -t  1  -D  100  -N  100

Before merging checkpoint buffer cleanup:
 FSUse%        Count         Size    Files/sec     App Overhead
     95        10000         1024       8304.9            49033

After merging checkpoint buffer cleanup:
 FSUse%        Count         Size    Files/sec     App Overhead
     95        10000         1024       7649.0            50012

     95        10000         1024       2107.1            50871

After merging checkpoint buffer cleanup, the total loop count in
journal_shrink_one_cp_list() could be up to 6,261,600+ (50,000+ ~
100,000+ in general), most of them are invalid. This patch fix it
through passing 'shrink_type' into journal_shrink_one_cp_list() and add
a new 'SHRINK_BUSY_STOP' to indicate it should stop once meet a busy
buffer. After fix, the loop count descending back to 10,000+.

After this fix:

Zhang Yi 46f881b5b1 jbd2: fix a race when checking checkpoint buffer busy
Before removing checkpoint buffer from the t_checkpoint_list, we have to
check both BH_Dirty and BH_Lock bits together to distinguish buffers
have not been or were being written back. But __cp_buffer_busy() checks
them separately, it first check lock state and then check dirty, the
window between these two checks could be raced by writing back
procedure, which locks buffer and clears buffer dirty before I/O
completes. So it cannot guarantee checkpointing buffers been written
back to disk if some error happens later. Finally, it may clean
checkpoint transactions and lead to inconsistent filesystem.

jbd2_journal_forget() and __journal_try_to_free_buffer() also have the
same problem (journal_unmap_buffer() escape from this issue since it's
running under the buffer lock), so fix them through introducing a new
helper to try holding the buffer lock and remove really clean buffer.

, which could corrupt the ext4 image, fetch a reproducer in [Link].

Since writeback process clears buffer dirty after locking buffer head,
we can fix it by try locking buffer and check dirtiness while buffer is
locked, the buffer head can be removed if it is neither dirty nor locked.

Zhang Yi c2d6fd9d6f jbd2: recheck chechpointing non-dirty buffer
There is a long-standing metadata corruption issue that happens from
time to time, but it's very difficult to reproduce and analyse, benefit
from the JBD2_CYCLE_RECORD option, we found out that the problem is the
checkpointing process miss to write out some buffers which are raced by
another do_get_write_access(). Looks below for detail.

jbd2_log_do_checkpoint() //transaction X
 //buffer A is dirty and not belones to any transaction
 __buffer_relink_io() //move it to the IO list
 __flush_batch()
  write_dirty_buffer()
                             do_get_write_access()
                             clear_buffer_dirty
                             __jbd2_journal_file_buffer()
                             //add buffer A to a new transaction Y
   lock_buffer(bh)
   //doesn't write out
 __jbd2_journal_remove_checkpoint()
 //finish checkpoint except buffer A
 //filesystem corrupt if the new transaction Y isn't fully write out.

Due to the t_checkpoint_list walking loop in jbd2_log_do_checkpoint()
have already handles waiting for buffers under IO and re-added new
transaction to complete commit, and it also removing cleaned buffers,
this makes sure the list will eventually get empty. So it's fine to
leave buffers on the t_checkpoint_list while flushing out and completely
stop using the t_checkpoint_io_list.

Theodore Ts'o 0705e8d1e2 ext4: inline jbd2_journal_[un]register_shrinker()
The function jbd2_journal_unregister_shrinker() was getting called
twice when the file system was getting unmounted.  On Power and ARM
platforms this was causing kernel crash when unmounting the file
system, when a percpu_counter was destroyed twice.

Fix this by removing jbd2_journal_[un]register_shrinker() functions,
and inlining the shrinker setup and teardown into
journal_init_common() and jbd2_journal_destroy().  This means that
ext4 and ocfs2 now no longer need to know about registering and
unregistering jbd2's shrinker.

Also, while we're at it, rename the percpu counter from
j_jh_shrink_count to j_checkpoint_jh_count, since this makes it
clearer what this counter is intended to track.

Zhang Yi 4ba3fcdde7 jbd2,ext4: add a shrinker to release checkpointed buffers
Current metadata buffer release logic in bdev_try_to_free_page() have
a lot of use-after-free issues when umount filesystem concurrently, and
it is difficult to fix directly because ext4 is the only user of
s_op->bdev_try_to_free_page callback and we may have to add more special
refcount or lock that is only used by ext4 into the common vfs layer,
which is unacceptable.

One better solution is remove the bdev_try_to_free_page callback, but
the real problem is we cannot easily release journal_head on the
checkpointed buffer, so try_to_free_buffers() cannot release buffers and
page under memory pressure, which is more likely to trigger
out-of-memory. So we cannot remove the callback directly before we find
another way to release journal_head.

This patch introduce a shrinker to free journal_head on the checkpointed
transaction. After the journal_head got freed, try_to_free_buffers()
could free buffer properly.

Although we merged c044f3d836 ("jbd2: abort journal if free a async

jbd2_journal_try_to_free_buffers() and jbd2_journal_destroy(), so the
jbd2_log_do_checkpoint() may still fail to detect the buffer write
io error flag which may lead to filesystem inconsistency.

journal->j_list_lock. Thus the following race is possible:

CPU0					CPU1
jbd2_log_do_checkpoint()
					jbd2_journal_try_to_free_buffers()
					  __journal_try_to_free_buffer(bh)
  ...
  while (transaction->t_checkpoint_io_list)
  ...
    if (buffer_locked(bh)) {

<-- IO completes now, buffer gets unlocked -->

      spin_unlock(&journal->j_list_lock);
					    spin_lock(&journal->j_list_lock);
					    __jbd2_journal_remove_checkpoint(jh);
					    spin_unlock(&journal->j_list_lock);
					  try_to_free_buffers(page);
      get_bh(bh) <-- accesses freed bh

Fix the problem by grabbing bh reference before unlocking
journal->j_list_lock.

Theodore Ts'o f516676857 ext4: fix up remaining files with SPDX cleanups
A number of ext4 source files were skipped due because their copyright
permission statements didn't match the expected text used by the
automated conversion utilities.  I've added SPDX tags for the rest.

While looking at some of these files, I've noticed that we have quite
a bit of variation on the licenses that were used --- in particular
some of the Red Hat licenses on the jbd2 files use a GPL2+ license,
and we have some files that have a LGPL-2.1 license (which was quite
surprising).

I've not attempted to do any license changes.  Even if it is perfectly
legal to relicense to GPL 2.0-only for consistency's sake, that should
be done with ext4 developer community discussion.

Jan Kara 33d14975e5 jbd2: fix checkpoint list cleanup
Unlike comments and expectation of callers journal_clean_one_cp_list()
returned 1 not only if it freed the transaction but also if it freed
some buffers in the transaction. That could make
__jbd2_journal_clean_checkpoint_list() skip processing
t_checkpoint_io_list and continue with processing the next transaction.
This is mostly a cosmetic issue since the only result is we can
sometimes free less memory than we could. But it's still worth fixing.
Fix journal_clean_one_cp_list() to return 1 only if the transaction was
really freed.

Jan Kara 841df7df19 jbd2: avoid infinite loop when destroying aborted journal
Commit 6f6a6fda29 "jbd2: fix ocfs2 corrupt when updating journal

when the journal is aborted. That makes logic in
jbd2_log_do_checkpoint() bail out which is fine, except that
jbd2_journal_destroy() expects jbd2_log_do_checkpoint() to always make
a progress in cleaning the journal. Without it jbd2_journal_destroy()
just loops in an infinite loop.

jbd2_log_do_checkpoint() fails with error.

Joseph Qi 6f6a6fda29 jbd2: fix ocfs2 corrupt when updating journal superblock fails
If updating journal superblock fails after journal data has been
flushed, the error is omitted and this will mislead the caller as a
normal case.  In ocfs2, the checkpoint will be treated successfully
and the other node can get the lock to update. Since the sb_start is
still pointing to the old log block, it will rewrite the journal data
during journal recovery by the other node. Thus the new updates will
be overwritten and ocfs2 corrupts.  So in above case we have to return
the error, and ocfs2_commit_cache will take care of the error and
prevent the other node to do update first.  And only after recovering
journal it can do the new updates.

Jan Kara cc97f1a7c7 jbd2: avoid pointless scanning of checkpoint lists
Yuanhan has reported that when he is running fsync(2) heavy workload
creating new files over ramdisk, significant amount of time is spent in
__jbd2_journal_clean_checkpoint_list() trying to clean old transactions
(but they cannot be cleaned up because flusher hasn't yet checkpointed
those buffers). The workload can be generated by:
  fs_mark -d /fs/ram0/1 -D 2 -N 2560 -n 1000000 -L 1 -S 1 -s 4096

Reduce the amount of scanning by stopping to scan the transaction list
once we find a transaction that cannot be checkpointed. Note that this
way of cleaning is still enough to keep freeing space in the journal
after fully checkpointed transactions.

__process_buffer() is only called by jbd2_log_do_checkpoint(), and it
had a very complex locking protocol where it would be called with the
j_list_lock, and sometimes exit with the lock held (if the return code

This was confusing both to humans and to smatch (which erronously
complained that the lock was taken twice).

Folding __process_buffer() to the caller allows us to simplify the
control flow, making the resulting function easier to read and reason
about, and dropping the compiled size of fs/jbd2/checkpoint.c by 150
bytes (over 4% of the text size).

What is interesting here, is that we call log_wait_commit, from
within wait_for_space, but we are still holding the checkpoint_mutex
as it surrounds mostly the whole of wait_for_space.  And then, as we
are waiting, journal_commit_transaction can run, and if the JBD2_FLUSHED
bit is set, then we will also try to take the same checkpoint_mutex.

It seems that we need to drop the checkpoint_mutex while sitting in
jbd2_log_wait_commit, if we want to guarantee that progress can be made
by jbd2_journal_commit_transaction().  There does not seem to be
anything preempt-rt specific about this, other then perhaps increasing
the odds of it happening.

__jbd2_log_space_left() and jbd_space_needed() were kind of odd.
jbd_space_needed() accounted also credits needed for currently

control blocks.  __jbd2_log_space_left() then accounted for control
blocks as a fraction of free space.  Since results of these two

correct but is somewhat strange.  Move the estimates so that
jbd_space_needed() returns number of blocks needed for a transaction
including control blocks and __jbd2_log_space_left() returns free
space in the journal (with the committing transaction already
subtracted).  Rename functions to jbd2_log_space_left() and

since BJ_IO list is just a temporary list for transaction commit, we

Jan Kara 79feb521a4 jbd2: issue cache flush after checkpointing even with internal journal
When we reach jbd2_cleanup_journal_tail(), there is no guarantee that
checkpointed buffers are on a stable storage - especially if buffers were
written out by jbd2_log_do_checkpoint(), they are likely to be only in disk's
caches. Thus when we update journal superblock effectively removing old
transaction from journal, this write of superblock can get to stable storage
before those checkpointed buffers which can result in filesystem corruption
after a crash. Thus we must unconditionally issue a cache flush before we
update journal superblock in these cases.

A similar problem can also occur if journal superblock is written only in
disk's caches, other transaction starts reusing space of the transaction
cleaned from the log and power failure happens. Subsequent journal replay would
still try to replay the old transaction but some of it's blocks may be already
overwritten by the new transaction. For this reason we must use WRITE_FUA when
updating log tail and we must first write new log tail to disk and update
in-memory information only after that.

Jan Kara 24bcc89c7e jbd2: split updating of journal superblock and marking journal empty
There are three case of updating journal superblock. In the first case, we want
to mark journal as empty (setting s_sequence to 0), in the second case we want
to update log tail, in the third case we want to update s_errno. Split these
cases into separate functions. It makes the code slightly more straightforward
and later patches will make the distinction even more important.

Yongqiang Yang 0c2022eccb jbd2: allocate transaction from separate slab cache
There is normally only a handful of these active at any one time, but
putting them in a separate slab cache makes debugging memory
corruption problems easier.  Manish Katiyar also wanted this make it
easier to test memory failure scenarios in the jbd2 layer.

Seiji Aguchi 2201c590dd jbd2: add drop_transaction/update_superblock_end tracepoints
This patch adds trace_jbd2_drop_transaction and
trace_jbd2_update_superblock_end because there are similar tracepoints
in jbd and they are needed in jbd2 as well.

Tao Ma d3ad8434aa jbd2: use WRITE_SYNC in journal checkpoint
In journal checkpoint, we write the buffer and wait for its finish.
But in cfq, the async queue has a very low priority, and in our test,
if there are too many sync queues and every queue is filled up with
requests, the write request will be delayed for quite a long time and
all the tasks which are waiting for journal space will end with errors like:

INFO: task attr_set:3816 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
"echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.

So this patch tries to use WRITE_SYNC in __flush_batch so that the request will
be moved into sync queue and handled by cfq timely. We also use the new plug,
sot that all the WRITE_SYNC requests can be given as a whole when we unplug it.

Jan Kara de1b794130 jbd2: Fix oops in jbd2_journal_remove_journal_head()
jbd2_journal_remove_journal_head() can oops when trying to access
journal_head returned by bh2jh(). This is caused for example by the
following race:

	TASK1					TASK2
  jbd2_journal_commit_transaction()
    ...
    processing t_forget list
      __jbd2_journal_refile_buffer(jh);
      if (!jh->b_transaction) {
        jbd_unlock_bh_state(bh);
					jbd2_journal_try_to_free_buffers()
					  jbd2_journal_grab_journal_head(bh)
					  jbd_lock_bh_state(bh)
					  __journal_try_to_free_buffer()
					  jbd2_journal_put_journal_head(jh)
        jbd2_journal_remove_journal_head(bh);

jbd2_journal_put_journal_head() in TASK2 sees that b_jcount == 0 and
buffer is not part of any transaction and thus frees journal_head
before TASK1 gets to doing so. Note that even buffer_head can be
released by try_to_free_buffers() after
jbd2_journal_put_journal_head() which adds even larger opportunity for
oops (but I didn't see this happen in reality).

Fix the problem by making transactions hold their own journal_head
reference (in b_jcount). That way we don't have to remove journal_head
explicitely via jbd2_journal_remove_journal_head() and instead just
remove journal_head when b_jcount drops to zero. The result of this is
that [__]jbd2_journal_refile_buffer(),
[__]jbd2_journal_unfile_buffer(), and
__jdb2_journal_remove_checkpoint() can free journal_head which needs
modification of a few callers. Also we have to be careful because once
journal_head is removed, buffer_head might be freed as well. So we
have to get our own buffer_head reference where it matters.
