At replay_one_one(), we are treating any error returned from
btrfs_lookup_dir_item() or from btrfs_lookup_dir_index_item() as meaning
that there is no existing directory entry in the fs/subvolume tree.
This is not correct since we can get errors such as, for example, -EIO
when reading extent buffers while searching the fs/subvolume's btree.
So fix that and return the error to the caller when it is not -ENOENT.

Currently inode_in_dir() ignores errors returned from
btrfs_lookup_dir_index_item() and from btrfs_lookup_dir_item(), treating
any errors as if the directory entry does not exists in the fs/subvolume
tree, which is obviously not correct, as we can get errors such as -EIO
when reading extent buffers while searching the fs/subvolume's tree.
Fix that by making inode_in_dir() return the errors and making its only
caller, add_inode_ref(), deal with returned errors as well.

Function btrfs_lookup_data_extent calls btrfs_search_slot to verify if
the EXTENT_ITEM exists in the extent tree. btrfs_search_slot can return
values bellow zero if an error happened.
Function replay_one_extent currently checks if the search found
something (0 returned) and increments the reference, and if not, it
seems to evaluate as 'not found'.
Fix the condition by checking if the value was bellow zero and return
early.

There are several cases where when logging an inode we need to log its
parent directories or logging subdirectories when logging a directory.
There are cases however where we end up logging a directory even if it was
not changed in the current transaction, no dentries added or removed since
the last transaction. While this is harmless from a functional point of
view, it is a waste time as it brings no advantage.
One example where this is triggered is the following:
$ mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdc
$ mount /dev/sdc /mnt
$ mkdir /mnt/A
$ mkdir /mnt/B
$ mkdir /mnt/C
$ touch /mnt/A/foo
$ ln /mnt/A/foo /mnt/B/bar
$ ln /mnt/A/foo /mnt/C/baz
$ sync
$ rm -f /mnt/A/foo
$ xfs_io -c "fsync" /mnt/B/bar
This last fsync ends up logging directories A, B and C, however we only
need to log directory A, as B and C were not changed since the last
transaction commit.
So fix this by changing need_log_inode(), to return false in case the
given inode is a directory and has a ->last_trans value smaller than the
current transaction's ID.

A comment at log_conflicting_inodes() mentions that we check the inode's
logged_trans field instead of using btrfs_inode_in_log() because the field
last_log_commit is not updated when we log that an inode exists and the
inode has the full sync flag (BTRFS_INODE_NEEDS_FULL_SYNC) set. The part
about the full sync flag is not true anymore since commit 9acc8103ab

Now that we are checking if the inode's logged_trans is 0 to detect the
possibility of the inode having been evicted and reloaded, the test for
the full sync flag (BTRFS_INODE_NEEDS_FULL_SYNC) is no longer needed at
tree-log.c:inode_logged(). Its purpose was to detect the possibility
of a previous eviction as well, since when an inode is loaded the full
sync flag is always set on it (and only cleared after the inode is
logged).
So just remove the check and update the comment. The check for the inode's
logged_trans being 0 was added recently by the patch with the subject

Currently, inode flags are fully backwards incompatible in btrfs. If we
introduce a new inode flag, then tree-checker will detect it and fail.
This can even cause us to fail to mount entirely. To make it possible to
introduce new flags which can be read-only compatible, like VERITY, we
add new ro flags to btrfs without treating them quite so harshly in
tree-checker. A read-only file system can survive an unexpected flag,
and can be mounted.
As for the implementation, it unfortunately gets a little complicated.
The on-disk representation of the inode, btrfs_inode_item, has an __le64
for flags but the in-memory representation, btrfs_inode, uses a u32.
David Sterba had the nice idea that we could reclaim those wasted 32 bits
on disk and use them for the new ro_compat flags.
It turns out that the tree-checker code which checks for unknown flags
is broken, and ignores the upper 32 bits we are hoping to use. The issue
is that the flags use the literal 1 rather than 1ULL, so the flags are
signed ints, and one of them is specifically (1 << 31). As a result, the
mask which ORs the flags is a negative integer on machines where int is
32 bit twos complement. When tree-checker evaluates the expression:
btrfs_inode_flags(leaf, iitem) & ~BTRFS_INODE_FLAG_MASK)
The mask is something like 0x80000abc, which gets promoted to u64 with
sign extension to 0xffffffff80000abc. Negating that 64 bit mask leaves
all the upper bits zeroed, and we can't detect unexpected flags.
This suggests that we can't use those bits after all. Luckily, we have
good reason to believe that they are zero anyway. Inode flags are
metadata, which is always checksummed, so any bit flips that would
introduce 1s would cause a checksum failure anyway (excluding the
improbable case of the checksum getting corrupted exactly badly).
Further, unless the 1 << 31 flag is used, the cast to u64 of the 32 bit
inode flag should preserve its value and not add leading zeroes
(at least for twos complement). The only place that flag
(BTRFS_INODE_ROOT_ITEM_INIT) is used is in a special inode embedded in
the root item, and indeed for that inode we see 0xffffffff80000000 as
the flags on disk. However, that inode is never seen by tree checker,
nor is it used in a context where verity might be meaningful.
Theoretically, a future ro flag might cause trouble on that inode, so we
should proactively clean up that mess before it does.
With the introduction of the new ro flags, keep two separate unsigned
masks and check them against the appropriate u32. Since we no longer run
afoul of sign extension, this also stops writing out 0xffffffff80000000
in root_item inodes going forward.

When checking if an inode was previously logged in the current transaction
through the helper inode_logged(), we can return some false positives that
can be easily eliminated. These correspond to the cases where an inode has
a ->logged_trans value that is not zero and its value is smaller then the
ID of the current transaction. This means we know exactly that the inode
was never logged before in the current transaction, so we can return false
and avoid the callers to do extra work:
1) Having btrfs_del_dir_entries_in_log() and btrfs_del_inode_ref_in_log()
unnecessarily join a log transaction and do deletion searches in a log
tree that will not find anything. This just adds unnecessary contention
on extent buffer locks;
2) Having btrfs_log_new_name() unnecessarily log an inode when it is not
needed. If the inode was not logged before, we don't need to log it in
LOG_INODE_EXISTS mode.
So just make sure that any false positive only happens when ->logged_trans
has a value of 0.

During a fast fsync, if we have already fsynced the file before and in the
current transaction, we can make the inode item update more efficient and
avoid acquiring a write lock on the leaf's parent.
To update the inode item we are always using btrfs_insert_empty_item() to
get a path pointing to the inode item, which calls btrfs_search_slot()
with an "ins_len" argument of 'sizeof(struct btrfs_inode_item) +
sizeof(struct btrfs_item)', and that always results in the search taking
a write lock on the level 1 node that is the parent of the leaf that
contains the inode item. This adds unnecessary lock contention on log
trees when we have multiple fsyncs in parallel against inodes in the same
subvolume, which has a very significant impact due to the fact that log
trees are short lived and their height very rarely goes beyond level 2.
Also, by using btrfs_insert_empty_item() when we need to update the inode
item, we also end up splitting the leaf of the existing inode item when
the leaf has an amount of free space smaller than the size of an inode
item.
Improve this by using btrfs_seach_slot(), with a 0 "ins_len" argument,
when we know the inode item already exists in the log. This avoids these
two inefficiencies.

One of the last steps of syncing the log is to remove all log contexts
from the root's list of contexts, done at btrfs_remove_all_log_ctxs().
There we iterate over all the contexts in the list and delete each one
from the list, and after that we call INIT_LIST_HEAD() on the list. That
is unnecessary since at that point the list is empty.
So just remove the INIT_LIST_HEAD() call. It's not needed, increases code
size (bloat-o-meter reported a delta of -122 for btrfs_sync_log() after
this change) and increases two critical sections delimited by log mutexes.

When syncing the log we acquire the root's log mutex just to update the
root's last_log_commit. This is unnecessary because:
1) At this point there can only be one task updating this value, which is
the task committing the current log transaction. Any task that enters
btrfs_sync_log() has to wait for the previous log transaction to commit
and wait for the current log transaction to commit if someone else
already started it (in this case it never reaches to the point of
updating last_log_commit, as that is done by the committing task);
2) All readers of the root's last_log_commit don't acquire the root's
log mutex. This is to avoid blocking the readers, potentially for too
long and because getting a stale value of last_log_commit does not
cause any functional problem, in the worst case getting a stale value
results in logging an inode unnecessarily. Plus it's actually very
rare to get a stale value that results in unnecessarily logging the
inode.
So in order to avoid unnecessary contention on the root's log mutex,
which is used for several different purposes, like starting/joining a
log transaction and starting writeback of a log transaction, stop
acquiring the log mutex for updating the root's last_log_commit.

When checking if we need to log the new name of a renamed inode, we are
checking if the inode and its parent inode have been logged before, and if
not we don't log the new name. The check however is buggy, as it directly
compares the logged_trans field of the inodes versus the ID of the current
transaction. The problem is that logged_trans is a transient field, only
stored in memory and never persisted in the inode item, so if an inode
was logged before, evicted and reloaded, its logged_trans field is set to
a value of 0, meaning the check will return false and the new name of the
renamed inode is not logged. If the old parent directory was previously
fsynced and we deleted the logged directory entries corresponding to the
old name, we end up with a log that when replayed will delete the renamed
inode.
The following example triggers the problem:
$ mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdc
$ mount /dev/sdc /mnt
$ mkdir /mnt/A
$ mkdir /mnt/B
$ echo -n "hello world" > /mnt/A/foo
$ sync
# Add some new file to A and fsync directory A.
$ touch /mnt/A/bar
$ xfs_io -c "fsync" /mnt/A
# Now trigger inode eviction. We are only interested in triggering
# eviction for the inode of directory A.
$ echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
# Move foo from directory A to directory B.
# This deletes the directory entries for foo in A from the log, and
# does not add the new name for foo in directory B to the log, because
# logged_trans of A is 0, which is less than the current transaction ID.
$ mv /mnt/A/foo /mnt/B/foo
# Now make an fsync to anything except A, B or any file inside them,
# like for example create a file at the root directory and fsync this
# new file. This syncs the log that contains all the changes done by
# previous rename operation.
$ touch /mnt/baz
$ xfs_io -c "fsync" /mnt/baz
<power fail>
# Mount the filesystem and replay the log.
$ mount /dev/sdc /mnt

$ ls -1R /mnt

/mnt/B:

# File foo is gone, it's neither in A/ nor in B/.
Fix this by using the inode_logged() helper at btrfs_log_new_name(), which
safely checks if an inode was logged before in the current transaction.

If we have an inode that does not have the full sync flag set, was changed
in the current transaction, then it is logged while logging some other
inode (like its parent directory for example), its i_size is increased by
a truncate operation, the log is synced through an fsync of some other
inode and then finally we explicitly call fsync on our inode, the new
i_size is not persisted.
The following example shows how to trigger it, with comments explaining
how and why the issue happens:
$ mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdc
$ mount /dev/sdc /mnt
$ touch /mnt/foo
$ xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -S 0xab 0 1M" /mnt/bar
$ sync
# Fsync bar, this will be a noop since the file has not yet been
# modified in the current transaction. The goal here is to clear
# BTRFS_INODE_NEEDS_FULL_SYNC from the inode's runtime flags.
$ xfs_io -c "fsync" /mnt/bar
# Now rename both files, without changing their parent directory.
$ mv /mnt/bar /mnt/bar2
$ mv /mnt/foo /mnt/foo2
# Increase the size of bar2 with a truncate operation.
$ xfs_io -c "truncate 2M" /mnt/bar2
# Now fsync foo2, this results in logging its parent inode (the root
# directory), and logging the parent results in logging the inode of
# file bar2 (its inode item and the new name). The inode of file bar2
# is logged with an i_size of 0 bytes since it's logged in
# LOG_INODE_EXISTS mode, meaning we are only logging its names (and
# xattrs if it had any) and the i_size of the inode will not be changed
# when the log is replayed.
$ xfs_io -c "fsync" /mnt/foo2
# Now explicitly fsync bar2. This resulted in doing nothing, not
# logging the inode with the new i_size of 2M and the hole from file
# offset 1M to 2M. Because the inode did not have the flag
# BTRFS_INODE_NEEDS_FULL_SYNC set, when it was logged through the
# fsync of file foo2, its last_log_commit field was updated,
# resulting in this explicit of file bar2 not doing anything.
$ xfs_io -c "fsync" /mnt/bar2

This started to happen after commit 209ecbb858 ("btrfs: remove stale
comment and logic from btrfs_inode_in_log()"), since btrfs_inode_in_log()
no longer checks if the inode's list of modified extents is not empty.
However, checking that list is not the right way to address this case
and the check was added long time ago in commit 125c4cf9f3
("Btrfs: set inode's logged_trans/last_log_commit after ranged fsync")
for a different purpose, to address consecutive ranged fsyncs.
The reason that checking for the list emptiness makes this test pass is
because during an expanding truncate we create an extent map to represent
a hole from the old i_size to the new i_size, and add that extent map to
the list of modified extents in the inode. However if we are low on
available memory and we can not allocate a new extent map, then we don't
treat it as an error and just set the full sync flag on the inode, so that
the next fsync does not rely on the list of modified extents - so checking
for the emptiness of the list to decide if the inode needs to be logged is
not reliable, and results in not logging the inode if it was not possible
to allocate the extent map for the hole.
Fix this by ensuring that if we are only logging that an inode exists
(inode item, names/references and xattrs), we don't update the inode's
last_log_commit even if it does not have the full sync runtime flag set.
A test case for fstests follows soon.

When logging an inode we always log all its xattrs, so that we are able
to figure out which ones should be deleted during log replay. However this
is unnecessary when we are doing a fast fsync and no xattrs were added,
changed or deleted since the last time we logged the inode in the current
transaction.
So skip the logging of xattrs when the inode was previously logged in the
current transaction and no xattrs were added, changed or deleted. If any
changes to xattrs happened, than the inode has BTRFS_INODE_COPY_EVERYTHING
set in its runtime flags and the xattrs get logged. This saves time on
scanning for xattrs, allocating memory, COWing log tree extent buffers and
adding more lock contention on the extent buffers when there are multiple
tasks logging in parallel.
The use of xattrs is common when using ACLs, some applications, or when
using security modules like SELinux where every inode gets a security
xattr added to it.
The following test script, using fio, was used on a box with 12 cores, 64G
of RAM, a NVMe device and the default non-debug kernel config from Debian.
It uses 8 concurrent jobs each writing in blocks of 64K to its own 4G file,
each file with a single xattr of 50 bytes (about the same size for an ACL
or SELinux xattr), doing random buffered writes with an fsync after each
write.

At btrfs_truncate() where we truncate the inode either to the same size
or to a smaller size, we always set the full sync flag on the inode.
This is needed in case the truncation drops or trims any file extent items
that start beyond or cross the new inode size, so that the next fsync
drops all inode items from the log and scans again the fs/subvolume tree
to find all items that must be logged.
However if the truncation does not drop or trims any file extent items, we
do not need to set the full sync flag and force the next fsync to use the
slow code path. So do not set the full sync flag in such cases.
One use case where it is frequent to do truncations that do not change
the inode size and do not drop any extents (no prealloc extents beyond
i_size) is when running Microsoft's SQL Server inside a Docker container.
One example workload is the one Philipp Fent reported recently, in the
thread with a link below. In this workload a large number of fsyncs are
preceded by such truncate operations.
After this change I constantly get the runtime for that workload from
Philipp to be reduced by about -12%, for example from 184 seconds down
to 162 seconds.

- do not write supers if we have an fs error"

btrfs: promote debugging asserts to full-fledged checks in validate_super
btrfs: return value from btrfs_mark_extent_written() in case of error
btrfs: zoned: fix zone number to sector/physical calculation
btrfs: do not write supers if we have an fs error
Error injection testing uncovered a pretty severe problem where we could
end up committing a super that pointed to the wrong tree roots,
resulting in transid mismatch errors.
The way we commit the transaction is we update the super copy with the
current generations and bytenrs of the important roots, and then copy
that into our super_for_commit. Then we allow transactions to continue
again, we write out the dirty pages for the transaction, and then we
write the super. If the write out fails we'll bail and skip writing the
supers.
However since we've allowed a new transaction to start, we can have a
log attempting to sync at this point, which would be blocked on
fs_info->tree_log_mutex. Once the commit fails we're allowed to do the
log tree commit, which uses super_for_commit, which now points at fs
tree's that were not written out.
Fix this by checking BTRFS_FS_STATE_ERROR once we acquire the
tree_log_mutex. This way if the transaction commit fails we're sure to
see this bit set and we can skip writing the super out. This patch
fixes this specific transid mismatch error I was seeing with this
particular error path.

Error injection testing uncovered a case where we ended up with invalid
link counts on an inode. This happened because we failed to notice an
error when updating the inode while replaying the tree log, and
committed the transaction with an invalid file system.
Fix this by checking the return value of btrfs_update_inode. This
resolved the link count errors I was seeing, and we already properly
handle passing up the error values in these paths.

This function has the following pattern
while (1) {

ret = 0
out:
return ret;
However several places in this while loop we simply break; when there's
a problem, thus clearing the return value, and in one case we do a
return -EIO, and leak the memory for the path.
Fix this by re-arranging the loop to deal with ret == 1 coming from

out:
bit so everybody can break if there is an error, which will allow for
proper error handling to occur.

When we move one inode from one directory to another and both the inode
and its previous parent directory were logged before, we are not supposed
to have the dentry for the old parent if we have a power failure after the
log is synced. Only the new dentry is supposed to exist.
Generally this works correctly, however there is a scenario where this is
not currently working, because the old parent of the file/directory that
was moved is not authoritative for a range that includes the dir index and
dir item keys of the old dentry. This case is better explained with the
following example and reproducer:
# The test requires a very specific layout of keys and items in the
# fs/subvolume btree to trigger the bug. So we want to make sure that
# on whatever platform we are, we have the same leaf/node size.
#
# Currently in btrfs the node/leaf size can not be smaller than the page
# size (but it can be greater than the page size). So use the largest
# supported node/leaf size (64K).
$ mkfs.btrfs -f -n 65536 /dev/sdc
$ mount /dev/sdc /mnt
# "testdir" is inode 257.
$ mkdir /mnt/testdir
$ chmod 755 /mnt/testdir
# Create several empty files to have the directory "testdir" with its
# items spread over several leaves (7 in this case).
$ for ((i = 1; i <= 1200; i++)); do
echo -n > /mnt/testdir/file$i
done
# Create our test directory "dira", inode number 1458, which gets all
# its items in leaf 7.
#
# The BTRFS_DIR_ITEM_KEY item for inode 257 ("testdir") that points to
# the entry named "dira" is in leaf 2, while the BTRFS_DIR_INDEX_KEY
# item that points to that entry is in leaf 3.
#
# For this particular filesystem node size (64K), file count and file
# names, we endup with the directory entry items from inode 257 in
# leaves 2 and 3, as previously mentioned - what matters for triggering
# the bug exercised by this test case is that those items are not placed
# in leaf 1, they must be placed in a leaf different from the one
# containing the inode item for inode 257.
#
# The corresponding BTRFS_DIR_ITEM_KEY and BTRFS_DIR_INDEX_KEY items for
# the parent inode (257) are the following:
#
# item 460 key (257 DIR_ITEM 3724298081) itemoff 48344 itemsize 34
# location key (1458 INODE_ITEM 0) type DIR
# transid 6 data_len 0 name_len 4
# name: dira
#
# and:
#
# item 771 key (257 DIR_INDEX 1202) itemoff 36673 itemsize 34
# location key (1458 INODE_ITEM 0) type DIR
# transid 6 data_len 0 name_len 4
# name: dira
$ mkdir /mnt/testdir/dira
# Make sure everything done so far is durably persisted.
$ sync
# Now do a change to inode 257 ("testdir") that does not result in
# COWing leaves 2 and 3 - the leaves that contain the directory items
# pointing to inode 1458 (directory "dira").
#
# Changing permissions, the owner/group, updating or adding a xattr,
# etc, will not change (COW) leaves 2 and 3. So for the sake of
# simplicity change the permissions of inode 257, which results in
# updating its inode item and therefore change (COW) only leaf 1.
$ chmod 700 /mnt/testdir
# Now fsync directory inode 257.
#
# Since only the first leaf was changed/COWed, we log the inode item of
# inode 257 and only the dentries found in the first leaf, all have a
# key type of BTRFS_DIR_ITEM_KEY, and no keys of type
# BTRFS_DIR_INDEX_KEY, because they sort after the former type and none
# exist in the first leaf.
#
# We also log 3 items that represent ranges for dir items and dir
# indexes for which the log is authoritative:
#
# 1) a key of type BTRFS_DIR_LOG_ITEM_KEY, which indicates the log is
# authoritative for all BTRFS_DIR_ITEM_KEY keys that have an offset
# in the range [0, 2285968570] (the offset here is the crc32c of the
# dentry's name). The value 2285968570 corresponds to the offset of
# the first key of leaf 2 (which is of type BTRFS_DIR_ITEM_KEY);
#
# 2) a key of type BTRFS_DIR_LOG_ITEM_KEY, which indicates the log is
# authoritative for all BTRFS_DIR_ITEM_KEY keys that have an offset
# in the range [4293818216, (u64)-1] (the offset here is the crc32c
# of the dentry's name). The value 4293818216 corresponds to the
# offset of the highest key of type BTRFS_DIR_ITEM_KEY plus 1
# (4293818215 + 1), which is located in leaf 2;
#
# 3) a key of type BTRFS_DIR_LOG_INDEX_KEY, with an offset of 1203,
# which indicates the log is authoritative for all keys of type
# BTRFS_DIR_INDEX_KEY that have an offset in the range
# [1203, (u64)-1]. The value 1203 corresponds to the offset of the
# last key of type BTRFS_DIR_INDEX_KEY plus 1 (1202 + 1), which is
# located in leaf 3;
#
# Also, because "testdir" is a directory and inode 1458 ("dira") is a
# child directory, we log inode 1458 too.
$ xfs_io -c "fsync" /mnt/testdir
# Now move "dira", inode 1458, to be a child of the root directory
# (inode 256).
#
# Because this inode was previously logged, when "testdir" was fsynced,
# the log is updated so that the old inode reference, referring to inode
# 257 as the parent, is deleted and the new inode reference, referring
# to inode 256 as the parent, is added to the log.
$ mv /mnt/testdir/dira /mnt
# Now change some file and fsync it. This guarantees the log changes
# made by the previous move/rename operation are persisted. We do not
# need to do any special modification to the file, just any change to
# any file and sync the log.
$ xfs_io -c "pwrite -S 0xab 0 64K" -c "fsync" /mnt/testdir/file1
# Simulate a power failure and then mount again the filesystem to
# replay the log tree. We want to verify that we are able to mount the
# filesystem, meaning log replay was successful, and that directory
# inode 1458 ("dira") only has inode 256 (the filesystem's root) as
# its parent (and no longer a child of inode 257).
#
# It used to happen that during log replay we would end up having
# inode 1458 (directory "dira") with 2 hard links, being a child of
# inode 257 ("testdir") and inode 256 (the filesystem's root). This
# resulted in the tree checker detecting the issue and causing the
# mount operation to fail (with -EIO).
#
# This happened because in the log we have the new name/parent for
# inode 1458, which results in adding the new dentry with inode 256
# as the parent, but the previous dentry, under inode 257 was never
# removed - this is because the ranges for dir items and dir indexes
# of inode 257 for which the log is authoritative do not include the
# old dir item and dir index for the dentry of inode 257 referring to
# inode 1458:
#
# - for dir items, the log is authoritative for the ranges
# [0, 2285968570] and [4293818216, (u64)-1]. The dir item at inode 257
# pointing to inode 1458 has a key of (257 DIR_ITEM 3724298081), as
# previously mentioned, so the dir item is not deleted when the log
# replay procedure processes the authoritative ranges, as 3724298081
# is outside both ranges;
#
# - for dir indexes, the log is authoritative for the range
# [1203, (u64)-1], and the dir index item of inode 257 pointing to
# inode 1458 has a key of (257 DIR_INDEX 1202), as previously
# mentioned, so the dir index item is not deleted when the log
# replay procedure processes the authoritative range.

In this example the inode we moved was a directory, so it was easy to
detect the problem because directories can only have one hard link and
the tree checker immediately detects that. If the moved inode was a file,
then the log replay would succeed and we would end up having both the
new hard link (/mnt/foo) and the old hard link (/mnt/testdir/foo) present,
but only the new one should be present.
Fix this by forcing re-logging of the old parent directory when logging
the new name during a rename operation. This ensures we end up with a log
that is authoritative for a range covering the keys for the old dentry,
therefore causing the old dentry do be deleted when replaying the log.
A test case for fstests will follow up soon.

* tag 'for-5.13-rc1-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kdave/linux:
btrfs: initialize return variable in cleanup_free_space_cache_v1
btrfs: zoned: sanity check zone type
btrfs: fix unmountable seed device after fstrim
btrfs: fix deadlock when cloning inline extents and using qgroups
btrfs: fix race leading to unpersisted data and metadata on fsync
btrfs: do not consider send context as valid when trying to flush qgroups
btrfs: zoned: fix silent data loss after failure splitting ordered extent
When doing a fast fsync on a file, there is a race which can result in the
fsync returning success to user space without logging the inode and without
durably persisting new data.
The following example shows one possible scenario for this:
$ mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdc
$ mount /dev/sdc /mnt
$ touch /mnt/bar
$ xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -S 0xab 0 1M" -c "fsync" /mnt/baz
# Now we have:
# file bar == inode 257
# file baz == inode 258
$ mv /mnt/baz /mnt/foo
# Now we have:
# file bar == inode 257
# file foo == inode 258
$ xfs_io -c "pwrite -S 0xcd 0 1M" /mnt/foo
# fsync bar before foo, it is important to trigger the race.
$ xfs_io -c "fsync" /mnt/bar
$ xfs_io -c "fsync" /mnt/foo
# After this:
# inode 257, file bar, is empty
# inode 258, file foo, has 1M filled with 0xcd
<power failure>
# Replay the log:
$ mount /dev/sdc /mnt
# After this point file foo should have 1M filled with 0xcd and not 0xab
The following steps explain how the race happens:
1) Before the first fsync of inode 258, when it has the "baz" name, its
->logged_trans is 0, ->last_sub_trans is 0 and ->last_log_commit is -1.
The inode also has the full sync flag set;
2) After the first fsync, we set inode 258 ->logged_trans to 6, which is
the generation of the current transaction, and set ->last_log_commit
to 0, which is the current value of ->last_sub_trans (done at
btrfs_log_inode()).
The full sync flag is cleared from the inode during the fsync.
The log sub transaction that was committed had an ID of 0 and when we
synced the log, at btrfs_sync_log(), we incremented root->log_transid
from 0 to 1;
3) During the rename:
We update inode 258, through btrfs_update_inode(), and that causes its
->last_sub_trans to be set to 1 (the current log transaction ID), and
->last_log_commit remains with a value of 0.
After updating inode 258, because we have previously logged the inode
in the previous fsync, we log again the inode through the call to
btrfs_log_new_name(). This results in updating the inode's
->last_log_commit from 0 to 1 (the current value of its
->last_sub_trans).
The ->last_sub_trans of inode 257 is updated to 1, which is the ID of
the next log transaction;
4) Then a buffered write against inode 258 is made. This leaves the value
of ->last_sub_trans as 1 (the ID of the current log transaction, stored
at root->log_transid);
5) Then an fsync against inode 257 (or any other inode other than 258),
happens. This results in committing the log transaction with ID 1,
which results in updating root->last_log_commit to 1 and bumping
root->log_transid from 1 to 2;
6) Then an fsync against inode 258 starts. We flush delalloc and wait only
for writeback to complete, since the full sync flag is not set in the
inode's runtime flags - we do not wait for ordered extents to complete.
Then, at btrfs_sync_file(), we call btrfs_inode_in_log() before the
ordered extent completes. The call returns true:
static inline bool btrfs_inode_in_log(...)
{
bool ret = false;
spin_lock(&inode->lock);
if (inode->logged_trans == generation &&
inode->last_sub_trans <= inode->last_log_commit &&
inode->last_sub_trans <= inode->root->last_log_commit)
ret = true;
spin_unlock(&inode->lock);
return ret;
}
generation has a value of 6 (fs_info->generation), ->logged_trans also
has a value of 6 (set when we logged the inode during the first fsync
and when logging it during the rename), ->last_sub_trans has a value
of 1, set during the rename (step 3), ->last_log_commit also has a
value of 1 (set in step 3) and root->last_log_commit has a value of 1,
which was set in step 5 when fsyncing inode 257.
As a consequence we don't log the inode, any new extents and do not
sync the log, resulting in a data loss if a power failure happens
after the fsync and before the current transaction commits.
Also, because we do not log the inode, after a power failure the mtime
and ctime of the inode do not match those we had before.
When the ordered extent completes before we call btrfs_inode_in_log(),
then the call returns false and we log the inode and sync the log,
since at the end of ordered extent completion we update the inode and
set ->last_sub_trans to 2 (the value of root->log_transid) and
->last_log_commit to 1.
This problem is found after removing the check for the emptiness of the
inode's list of modified extents in the recent commit 209ecbb858
("btrfs: remove stale comment and logic from btrfs_inode_in_log()"),
added in the 5.13 merge window. However checking the emptiness of the
list is not really the way to solve this problem, and was never intended
to, because while that solves the problem for COW writes, the problem
persists for NOCOW writes because in that case the list is always empty.
In the case of NOCOW writes, even though we wait for the writeback to
complete before returning from btrfs_sync_file(), we end up not logging
the inode, which has a new mtime/ctime, and because we don't sync the log,
we never issue disk barriers (send REQ_PREFLUSH to the device) since that
only happens when we sync the log (when we write super blocks at
btrfs_sync_log()). So effectively, for a NOCOW case, when we return from
btrfs_sync_file() to user space, we are not guaranteeing that the data is
durably persisted on disk.
Also, while the example above uses a rename exchange to show how the
problem happens, it is not the only way to trigger it. An alternative
could be adding a new hard link to inode 258, since that also results
in calling btrfs_log_new_name() and updating the inode in the log.
An example reproducer using the addition of a hard link instead of a
rename operation:
$ mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdc
$ mount /dev/sdc /mnt
$ touch /mnt/bar
$ xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -S 0xab 0 1M" -c "fsync" /mnt/foo
$ ln /mnt/foo /mnt/foo_link
$ xfs_io -c "pwrite -S 0xcd 0 1M" /mnt/foo
$ xfs_io -c "fsync" /mnt/bar
$ xfs_io -c "fsync" /mnt/foo
<power failure>
# Replay the log:
$ mount /dev/sdc /mnt
# After this point file foo often has 1M filled with 0xab and not 0xcd
The reasons leading to the final fsync of file foo, inode 258, not
persisting the new data are the same as for the previous example with
a rename operation.
So fix by never skipping logging and log syncing when there are still any
ordered extents in flight. To avoid making the conditional if statement
that checks if logging an inode is needed harder to read, place all the
logic into an helper function with separate if statements to make it more
manageable and easier to read.
A test case for fstests will follow soon.
For NOCOW writes, the problem existed before commit b5e6c3e170
("btrfs: always wait on ordered extents at fsync time"), introduced in
kernel 4.19, then it went away with that commit since we started to always
wait for ordered extent completion before logging.
The problem came back again once the fast fsync path was changed again to
avoid waiting for ordered extent completion, in commit 487781796d
("btrfs: make fast fsyncs wait only for writeback"), added in kernel 5.10.
However, for COW writes, the race only happens after the recent
commit 209ecbb858 ("btrfs: remove stale comment and logic from
btrfs_inode_in_log()"), introduced in the 5.13 merge window. For NOCOW
writes, the bug existed before that commit. So tag 5.10+ as the release
for stable backports.

"This builds on last cycle's LTO work, and allows the arm64 kernels to
be built with Clang's Control Flow Integrity feature. This feature has
happily lived in Android kernels for almost 3 years[1], so I'm excited
to have it ready for upstream.
The wide diffstat is mainly due to the treewide fixing of mismatched
list_sort prototypes. Other things in core kernel are to address
various CFI corner cases. The largest code portion is the CFI runtime
implementation itself (which will be shared by all architectures
implementing support for CFI). The arm64 pieces are Acked by arm64
maintainers rather than coming through the arm64 tree since carrying
this tree over there was going to be awkward.
CFI support for x86 is still under development, but is pretty close.
There are a handful of corner cases on x86 that need some improvements
to Clang and objtool, but otherwise works well.

Commit 6e37d24599 ("btrfs: zoned: fix deadlock on log sync") pointed out
a deadlock warning and removed mutex_{lock,unlock} of fs_info::tree_root->log_mutex.
While it looks like it always cause a deadlock, we didn't see actual
deadlock in fstests runs. The reason is log_root_tree->log_mutex !=
fs_info->tree_root->log_mutex, not taking the same lock. So, the warning
was actually a false-positive.
Since btrfs_alloc_log_tree_node() is protected only by
fs_info->tree_root->log_mutex, we can (and should) move the code out of
the lock scope of log_root_tree->log_mutex and silence the warning.

list_sort() internally casts the comparison function passed to it
to a different type with constant struct list_head pointers, and
uses this pointer to call the functions, which trips indirect call
Control-Flow Integrity (CFI) checking.
Instead of removing the consts, this change defines the
list_cmp_func_t type and changes the comparison function types of
all list_sort() callers to use const pointers, thus avoiding type
mismatches.

When using a zoned filesystem, while syncing the log, if we fail to
allocate the root node for the log root tree, we are not removing the
log context we allocated on stack from the list of log contexts of the
log root tree. This means after the return from btrfs_sync_log() we get
a corrupted linked list.
Fix this by allocating the node before adding our stack allocated context
to the list of log contexts of the log root tree.

Since the zoned filesystem requires sequential write out of metadata, we
cannot proceed with a hole in tree-log pages. When such a hole exists,
btree_write_cache_pages() will return -EAGAIN. This happens when someone,
e.g., a concurrent transaction commit, writes a dirty extent in this
tree-log commit.
If we are not going to wait for the extents, we can hope the concurrent
writing fills the hole for us. So, we can ignore the error in this case and
hope the next write will succeed.
If we want to wait for them and got the error, we cannot wait for them
because it will cause a deadlock. So, let's bail out to a full commit in
this case.

The allocation order of nodes of "fs_info->log_root_tree" and nodes of

writing causes unaligned write errors.
Reorder the allocation of them by delaying allocation of the root node of

This is the 2/3 patch to enable tree-log on zoned filesystems.
Since we can start more than one log transactions per subvolume
simultaneously, nodes from multiple transactions can be allocated
interleaved. Such mixed allocation results in non-sequential writes at
the time of a log transaction commit. The nodes of the global log root
tree (fs_info->log_root_tree), also have the same problem with mixed
allocation.
Serializes log transactions by waiting for a committing transaction when
someone tries to start a new transaction, to avoid the mixed allocation
problem. We must also wait for running log transactions from another
subvolume, but there is no easy way to detect which subvolume root is
running a log transaction. So, this patch forbids starting a new log
transaction when other subvolumes already allocated the global log root
tree.

Tree manipulating operations like merging nodes often release
once-allocated tree nodes. Such nodes are cleaned so that pages in the
node are not uselessly written out. On zoned volumes, however, such
optimization blocks the following IOs as the cancellation of the write
out of the freed blocks breaks the sequential write sequence expected by
the device.
Introduce a list of clean and unwritten extent buffers that have been
released in a transaction. Redirty the buffers so that
btree_write_cache_pages() can send proper bios to the devices.
Besides it clears the entire content of the extent buffer not to confuse
raw block scanners e.g. 'btrfs check'. By clearing the content,
csum_dirty_buffer() complains about bytenr mismatch, so avoid the
checking and checksum using newly introduced buffer flag
EXTENT_BUFFER_NO_CHECK.

Whenever we fsync an inode, if it is a directory, a regular file that was
created in the current transaction or has last_unlink_trans set to the
generation of the current transaction, we check if any of its ancestor
inodes (and the inode itself if it is a directory) can not be logged and
need a fallback to a full transaction commit - if so, we return with a
value of 1 in order to fallback to a transaction commit.
However we often do not need to fallback to a transaction commit because:
1) The ancestor inode is not an immediate parent, and therefore there is
not an explicit request to log it and it is not needed neither to
guarantee the consistency of the inode originally asked to be logged
(fsynced) nor its immediate parent;
2) The ancestor inode was already logged before, in which case any link,
unlink or rename operation updates the log as needed.
So for these two cases we can avoid an unnecessary transaction commit.
Therefore remove check_parent_dirs_for_sync() and add a check at the top
of btrfs_log_inode() to make us fallback immediately to a transaction
commit when we are logging a directory inode that can not be logged and
needs a full transaction commit. All we need to protect is the case where
after renaming a file someone fsyncs only the old directory, which would
result is losing the renamed file after a log replay.
This patch is part of a patchset comprised of the following patches:
btrfs: remove unnecessary directory inode item update when deleting dir entry
btrfs: stop setting nbytes when filling inode item for logging
btrfs: avoid logging new ancestor inodes when logging new inode
btrfs: skip logging directories already logged when logging all parents
btrfs: skip logging inodes already logged when logging new entries
btrfs: remove unnecessary check_parent_dirs_for_sync()
btrfs: make concurrent fsyncs wait less when waiting for a transaction commit
Performance results, after applying all patches, are mentioned in the
change log of the last patch.

new dentries and the inodes of dentries pointing to directories that
may have been created in past transactions. For the case of directories
we log in full mode, which can be particularly expensive for large
directories.
We do use btrfs_inode_in_log() to skip already logged inodes, however for
that helper to return true, it requires that the log transaction used to
log the inode to be already committed. This means that when we have more
than one task using the same log transaction we can end up logging an
inode multiple times, which is a waste of time and not necessary since
the log will be committed by one of the tasks and the others will wait for
the log transaction to be committed before returning to user space.
So simply replace the use of btrfs_inode_in_log() with the new helper
function need_log_inode(), introduced in a previous commit.

Some times when we fsync an inode we need to do a full log of all its
ancestors (due to unlink, link or rename operations), which can be an
expensive operation, specially if the directories are large.
However if we find an ancestor directory inode that is already logged in
the current transaction, and has no inserted/updated/deleted xattrs since
it was last logged, we can skip logging the directory again. We are safe
to skip that since we know that for logged directories, any link, unlink
or rename operations that implicate the directory will update the log as
necessary.
So use the helper need_log_dir(), introduced in a previous commit, to
detect already logged directories that can be skipped.

When we fsync a new file, created in the current transaction, we check
all its ancestor inodes and always log them if they were created in the
current transaction - even if we have already logged them before, which
is a waste of time.
So avoid logging new ancestor inodes if they were already logged before
and have no xattrs added/updated/removed since they were last logged.

When we fill an inode item for logging we are setting its nbytes field
with the value returned by inode_get_bytes() (a VFS API), however we do
not need it because it is not used during log replay. In fact, for fast
fsyncs, when we call inode_get_bytes() we may even get an outdated value
for nbytes because the nbytes field of the inode is only updated when
ordered extents complete, and a fast fsync only waits for writeback to
complete, it does not wait for ordered extent completion.
So just remove the setup of nbytes and add an explicit comment mentioning
why we do not set it. This also avoids adding contention on the inode's
i_lock (VFS) with concurrent stat() calls, since that spinlock is used by
inode_get_bytes() which is also called by our stat callback
(btrfs_getattr()).

When we remove a directory entry, as part of an unlink operation, if the
directory was logged before we must remove the directory index items from
the log. We are also updating the inode item of the directory to update
its i_size, but that is not necessary because during log replay we do not
need it and we correctly adjust the i_size in the inode item of the
subvolume as we process directory index items and replay deletes.
This is not needed since commit d555438b6e ("Btrfs: drop dir i_size
when adding new names on replay"), where we explicitly ignore the i_size
of directory inode items on log replay. Before that we used it but it
was buggy as mentioned in that commit's change log (i_size got a larger
value then it should have).
So stop updating the i_size of the directory inode item in the log, as
that is a waste of time, adds more log contention to the log tree and
often results in COWing more extent buffers for the log tree.
This code path is triggered often during dbench workloads for example.

Early on during a transaction commit we acquire the tree_log_mutex and
hold it until after we write the super blocks. But before writing the
extent buffers dirtied by the transaction and the super blocks we unblock
the transaction by setting its state to TRANS_STATE_UNBLOCKED and setting
fs_info->running_transaction to NULL.
This means that after that and before writing the super blocks, new
transactions can start. However if any transaction wants to log an inode,
it will block waiting for the transaction commit to write its dirty
extent buffers and the super blocks because the tree_log_mutex is only
released after those operations are complete, and starting a new log
transaction blocks on that mutex (at start_log_trans()).
Writing the dirty extent buffers and the super blocks can take a very
significant amount of time to complete, but we could allow the tasks
wanting to log an inode to proceed with most of their steps:
1) create the log trees
2) log metadata in the trees
3) write their dirty extent buffers
They only need to wait for the previous transaction commit to complete
(write its super blocks) before they attempt to write their super blocks,
otherwise we could end up with a corrupt filesystem after a crash.
So change start_log_trans() to use the root tree's log_mutex to serialize
for the creation of the log root tree instead of using the tree_log_mutex,
and make btrfs_sync_log() acquire the tree_log_mutex before writing the
super blocks. This allows for inode logging to wait much less time when
there is a previous transaction that is still committing, often not having
to wait at all, as by the time when we try to sync the log the previous
transaction already wrote its super blocks.

When logging an inode we may often have to fallback to a full transaction
commit, either because a new block group was allocated, there is some case
we can not deal with without a transaction commit or some error like an
ENOMEM happened. However after we fallback to a transaction commit, we
have a time window where we can make the next attempt to log any inode
commit the next transaction unnecessarily, adding additional overhead and
increasing latency.
A sequence of steps that leads to this issue is the following:
1) The current open transaction has a generation of 1000;
2) A new block group is allocated, and as a consequence we must make sure
any attempts to commit a log fallback to a transaction commit, so
btrfs_set_log_full_commit() is called from btrfs_make_block_group().
This sets fs_info->last_trans_log_full_commit to 1000;
3) Task A is holding a handle on transaction 1000 and tries to log inode X.
Once it gets to start_log_trans(), it calls btrfs_need_log_full_commit()
which returns true, since fs_info->last_trans_log_full_commit has a
value of 1000. So we end up returning EAGAIN and propagating it up to
btrfs_sync_file(), where we commit transaction 1000;
4) The transaction commit task (task A) sets the transaction state to
unblocked (TRANS_STATE_UNBLOCKED);
5) Some other task, task B, starts a new transaction with a generation of
1001;
6) Some stuff is done with transaction 1001, some btree blocks COWed, etc;
7) Transaction 1000 has not fully committed yet, we are still writing all
the extent buffers it created;
8) Some new task, task C, starts an fsync of inode Y, gets a handle for
transaction 1001, and it gets to btrfs_log_inode_parent() which does
the following check:
if (fs_info->last_trans_log_full_commit > last_committed) {
ret = 1;
goto end_no_trans;
}
At that point last_trans_log_full_commit has a value of 1000 and
last_committed (value of fs_info->last_trans_committed) has a value of
999, since transaction 1000 has not yet committed - it is either still
writing out dirty extent buffers, its super blocks or unpinning
extents.
As a consequence we return 1, which gets propagated up to
btrfs_sync_file(), which will then call btrfs_commit_transaction()
for transaction 1001.
As a consequence we have an unnecessary second transaction commit, we
previously committed transaction 1000 and now commit transaction 1001
as well, resulting in more overhead and increased latency.
So fix this double transaction commit issue simply by removing that check,
because all we need to do is wait for the previous transaction to finish
its commit, which we already do later when starting the log transaction at
start_log_trans(), because there we acquire the tree_log_mutex lock, which
is held by a transaction commit and only released after the transaction
commits its super blocks.
Another issue that check has is that it reads last_trans_log_full_commit
without using READ_ONCE(), which is incorrect since that member of
struct btrfs_fs_info is always updated with WRITE_ONCE() through the
helper btrfs_set_log_full_commit().
This double transaction commit issue can actually be triggered quite often
in long runs of dbench, since besides the creation of new block groups
that force inode logging to fallback to a transaction commit, there are
cases where dbench asks to fsync a directory which had files in it that
were previously renamed or subdirectories that were removed, resulting in
the inode logging to fallback to a full transaction commit.

When logging an inode and the previous transaction is still committing, we
have a time window where we can end up incorrectly think an inode has its
last_unlink_trans field with a value greater than the last transaction
committed, which results in the logging to fallback to a full transaction
commit, which is usually much more expensive than doing a log commit.
The race is described by the following steps:
1) We are at transaction 1000;
2) We modify an inode X (a directory) using transaction 1000 and set its
last_unlink_trans field to 1000, because for example we removed one
of its subdirectories;
3) We create a new inode Y with a dentry in inode X using transaction 1000,
so its generation field is set to 1000;
4) The commit for transaction 1000 is started by task A;
5) The task committing transaction 1000 sets the transaction state to
unblocked, writes the dirty extent buffers and the super blocks, then
unlocks tree_log_mutex;
6) Some task starts a new transaction with a generation of 1001;
7) We do some modification to inode Y (using transaction 1001);
8) The transaction 1000 commit starts unpinning extents. At this point
fs_info->last_trans_committed still has a value of 999;
9) Task B starts an fsync on inode Y, and gets a handle for transaction
1001. When it gets to check_parent_dirs_for_sync() it does the checking
of the ancestor dentries because the following check does not evaluate
to true:
if (S_ISREG(inode->vfs_inode.i_mode) &&
inode->generation <= last_committed &&
inode->last_unlink_trans <= last_committed)
goto out;
The generation value for inode Y is 1000 and last_committed, which has
the value read from fs_info->last_trans_committed, has a value of 999,
so that check evaluates to false and we proceed to check the ancestor
inodes.
Once we get to the first ancestor, inode X, we call
btrfs_must_commit_transaction() on it, which evaluates to true:
static bool btrfs_must_commit_transaction(...)
{
struct btrfs_fs_info *fs_info = inode->root->fs_info;
bool ret = false;
mutex_lock(&inode->log_mutex);
if (inode->last_unlink_trans > fs_info->last_trans_committed) {
/*
* Make sure any commits to the log are forced to be full
* commits.
*/
btrfs_set_log_full_commit(trans);
ret = true;
}
(...)
because inode's X last_unlink_trans has a value of 1000 and
fs_info->last_trans_committed still has a value of 999, it returns
true to check_parent_dirs_for_sync(), making it return 1 which is
propagated up to btrfs_sync_file(), causing it to fallback to a full
transaction commit of transaction 1001.
We should have not fallen back to commit transaction 1001, since inode
X had last_unlink_trans set to 1000 and the super blocks for
transaction 1000 were already written. So while not resulting in a
functional problem, it leads to a lot more work and higher latencies
for a fsync since committing a transaction is usually more expensive
than committing a log (if other filesystem changes happened under that
transaction).
Similar problem happens when logging directories, for the same reason as
btrfs_must_commit_transaction() returns true on an inode with its
last_unlink_trans having the generation of the previous transaction and
that transaction is still committing, unpinning its freed extents.
So fix this by comparing last_unlink_trans with the id of the current
transaction instead of fs_info->last_trans_committed.
This case is often hit when running dbench for a long enough duration, as
it does lots of rename and rmdir operations (both update the field
last_unlink_trans of an inode) and fsyncs of files and directories.

When logging an inode and we are checking if we need to log ancestors that
are new, if the previous transaction is still committing we have a time
window where we can unnecessarily log ancestor inodes that were created in
the previous transaction.
The race is described by the following steps:
1) We are at transaction 1000;
2) Directory inode X is created, its generation is set to 1000;
3) The commit for transaction 1000 is started by task A;
4) The task committing transaction 1000 sets the transaction state to
unblocked, writes the dirty extent buffers and the super blocks, then
unlocks tree_log_mutex;
5) Inode Y, a regular file, is created under directory inode X, this
results in starting a new transaction with a generation of 1001;
6) The transaction 1000 commit is unpinning extents. At this point
fs_info->last_trans_committed still has a value of 999;
7) Task B calls fsync on inode Y and gets a handle for transaction 1001;
8) Task B ends up at log_all_new_ancestors() and then because inode Y has
only one hard link, ends up at log_new_ancestors_fast(). There it reads
a value of 999 from fs_info->last_trans_committed, and sees that the
parent inode X has a generation of 1000, so we end up logging inode X:
if (inode->generation > fs_info->last_trans_committed) {
ret = btrfs_log_inode(trans, root, inode,
LOG_INODE_EXISTS, ctx);
(...)
which is not necessary since it was created in the past transaction,
with a generation of 1000, and that transaction has already committed
its super blocks - it's still unpinning extents so it has not yet
updated fs_info->last_trans_committed from 999 to 1000.
So this just causes us to spend more time logging and allocating and
writing more tree blocks for the log tree.
So fix this by comparing an inode's generation with the generation of the
transaction our transaction handle refers to - if the inode's generation
matches the generation of the current transaction than we know it is a
new inode we need to log, otherwise don't log it.
This case is often hit when running dbench for a long enough duration.
