This inode log item recovery failing the dinode verifier after
replaying the contents of the inode log item into the ondisk inode.
Looking back into what the kernel was doing at the time of the fs
shutdown, a thread was in the middle of running a series of
transactions, each of which committed changes to the inode.
At some point in the middle of that chain, an invalid (at least
according to the verifier) change was committed. Had the filesystem not
shut down in the middle of the chain, a subsequent transaction would
have corrected the invalid state and nobody would have noticed. But
that's not what happened here. Instead, the invalid inode state was
committed to the ondisk log, so log recovery tripped over it.
The actual defect here was an overzealous inode verifier, which was
fixed in a separate patch. This patch adds some transaction precommit
functions for CONFIG_XFS_DEBUG=y mode so that we can detect these kinds
of transient errors at transaction commit time, where it's much easier
to find the root cause.

Certain types of filesystem metadata can only be checked by scanning
every file in the entire filesystem. Specific examples of this include
quota counts, file link counts, and reverse mappings of file extents.
Directory and parent pointer reconstruction may also fall into this
category. File scanning is much trickier than scanning AG metadata
because we have to take inode locks in the same order as the rest of
[VX]FS, we can't be holding buffer locks when we do that, and scanning
the whole filesystem takes time.
Earlier versions of the online repair patchset relied heavily on
fsfreeze as a means to quiesce the filesystem so that we could take
locks in the proper order without worrying about concurrent updates from
other writers. Reviewers of those patches opined that freezing the
entire fs to check and repair something was not sufficiently better than
unmounting to run fsck offline. I don't agree with that 100%, but the
message was clear: find a way to repair things that minimizes the
quiet period where nobody can write to the filesystem.
Generally, building btree indexes online can be split into two phases: a
collection phase where we compute the records that will be put into the
new btree; and a construction phase, where we construct the physical
btree blocks and persist them. While it's simple to hold resource locks
for the entirety of the two phases to ensure that the new index is
consistent with the rest of the system, we don't need to hold resource
locks during the collection phase if we have a means to receive live
updates of other work going on elsewhere in the system.
The goal of this patch, then, is to enable online fsck to learn about
metadata updates going on in other threads while it constructs a shadow
copy of the metadata records to verify or correct the real metadata. To
minimize the overhead when online fsck isn't running, we use srcu
notifiers because they prioritize fast access to the notifier call chain
(particularly when the chain is empty) at a cost to configuring
notifiers. Online fsck should be relatively infrequent, so this is
acceptable.
The intended usage model is fairly simple. Code that modifies a
metadata structure of interest should declare a xfs_hook_chain structure
in some well defined place, and call xfs_hook_call whenever an update
happens. Online fsck code should define a struct notifier_block and use
xfs_hook_add to attach the block to the chain, along with a function to
be called. This function should synchronize with the fsck scanner to
update whatever in-memory data the scanner is collecting. When
finished, xfs_hook_del removes the notifier from the list and waits for
them all to complete.
Originally, I selected srcu notifiers over blocking notifiers to
implement live hooks because they seemed to have fewer impacts to
scalability. The per-call cost of srcu_notifier_call_chain is higher
(19ns) than blocking_notifier_ (4ns) in the single threaded case, but
blocking notifiers use an rwsem to stabilize the list. Cacheline
bouncing for that rwsem is costly to runtime code when there are a lot
of CPUs running regular filesystem operations. If there are no hooks
installed, this is a total waste of CPU time.
Therefore, I stuck with srcu notifiers, despite trading off single
threaded performance for multithreaded performance. I also wasn't
thrilled with the very high teardown time for srcu notifiers, since the
caller has to wait for the next rcu grace period. This can take a long
time if there are a lot of CPUs.
Then I discovered the jump label implementation of static keys.
Jump labels use kernel code patching to replace a branch with a nop sled
when the key is disabled. IOWs, they can eliminate the overhead of
_call_chain when there are no hooks enabled. This makes blocking
notifiers competitive again -- scrub runs faster because teardown of the
chain is a lot cheaper, and runtime code only pays the rwsem locking
overhead when scrub is actually running.
With jump labels enabled, calls to empty notifier chains are elided from
the call sites when there are no hooks registered, which means that the
overhead is 0.36ns when fsck is not running. This is perfect for most
of the architectures that XFS is expected to run on (e.g. x86, powerpc,
arm64, s390x, riscv).
For architectures that don't support jump labels (e.g. m68k) the runtime
overhead of checking the static key is an atomic counter read. This
isn't great, but it's still cheaper than taking a shared rwsem.

Create a simple 'big array' data structure for storage of fixed-size
metadata records that will be used to reconstruct a btree index. For
repair operations, the most important operations are append, iterate,
and sort.
Earlier implementations of the big array used linked lists and suffered
from severe problems -- pinning all records in kernel memory was not a
good idea and frequently lead to OOM situations; random access was very
inefficient; and record overhead for the lists was unacceptably high at
40-60%.
Therefore, the big memory array relies on the 'xfile' abstraction, which
creates a memfd file and stores the records in page cache pages. Since
the memfd is created in tmpfs, the memory pages can be pushed out to
disk if necessary and we have a built-in usage limit of 50% of physical
memory.

To reduce the runtime overhead even further when online fsck isn't
running, use a static branch key to decide if we call wake_up on the
drain. For compilers that support jump labels, the call to wake_up is
replaced by a nop sled when nobody is waiting for intents to drain.
From my initial microbenchmarking, every transition of the static key
between the on and off states takes about 22000ns to complete; this is
paid entirely by the xfs_scrub process. When the static key is off
(which it should be when fsck isn't running), the nop sled adds an
overhead of approximately 0.36ns to runtime code. The post-atomic
lockless waiter check adds about 0.03ns, which is basically free.
For the few compilers that don't support jump labels, runtime code pays
the cost of calling wake_up on an empty waitqueue, which was observed to
be about 30ns. However, most architectures that have sufficient memory
and CPU capacity to run XFS also support jump labels, so this is not
much of a worry.

When a writer thread executes a chain of log intent items, the AG header
buffer locks will cycle during a transaction roll to get from one intent
item to the next in a chain. Although scrub takes all AG header buffer
locks, this isn't sufficient to guard against scrub checking an AG while
that writer thread is in the middle of finishing a chain because there's
no higher level locking primitive guarding allocation groups.
When there's a collision, cross-referencing between data structures
(e.g. rmapbt and refcountbt) yields false corruption events; if repair
is running, this results in incorrect repairs, which is catastrophic.
Fix this by adding to the perag structure the count of active intents
and make scrub wait until it has both AG header buffer locks and the
intent counter reaches zero.
One quirk of the drain code is that deferred bmap updates also bump and
drop the intent counter. A fundamental decision made during the design
phase of the reverse mapping feature is that updates to the rmapbt
records are always made by the same code that updates the primary
metadata. In other words, callers of bmapi functions expect that the
bmapi functions will queue deferred rmap updates.
Some parts of the reflink code queue deferred refcount (CUI) and bmap
(BUI) updates in the same head transaction, but the deferred work
manager completely finishes the CUI before the BUI work is started. As
a result, the CUI drops the intent count long before the deferred rmap
(RUI) update even has a chance to bump the intent count. The only way
to keep the intent count elevated between the CUI and RUI is for the BUI
to bump the counter until the RUI has been created.
A second quirk of the intent drain code is that deferred work items must
increment the intent counter as soon as the work item is added to the
transaction. When a BUI completes and queues an RUI, the RUI must
increment the counter before the BUI decrements it. The only way to
accomplish this is to require that the counter be bumped as soon as the
deferred work item is created in memory.
In the next patches we'll improve on this facility, but this patch
provides the basic functionality.

This patch converts all the ASSERT statements to evaluate as

taking a leaf out of JFFS2's book.
(*) Makes most of the contents of linux/blkdev.h, linux/buffer_head.h and
linux/elevator.h contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK being set. sector_div() is,
however, still used in places, and so is still available.
(*) Also made contingent are the contents of linux/mpage.h, linux/genhd.h and
parts of linux/fs.h.
(*) Makes a number of files in fs/ contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.
(*) Makes mm/bounce.c (bounce buffering) contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.
(*) set_page_dirty() doesn't call __set_page_dirty_buffers() if CONFIG_BLOCK
is not enabled.
(*) fs/no-block.c is created to hold out-of-line stubs and things that are
required when CONFIG_BLOCK is not set:
(*) Default blockdev file operations (to give error ENODEV on opening).
(*) Makes some /proc changes:
(*) /proc/devices does not list any blockdevs.
(*) /proc/diskstats and /proc/partitions are contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.
(*) Makes some compat ioctl handling contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.
(*) If CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined, makes sys_quotactl() return -ENODEV if
given command other than Q_SYNC or if a special device is specified.
(*) In init/do_mounts.c, no reference is made to the blockdev routines if
CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined. This does not prohibit NFS roots or JFFS2.
(*) The bdflush, ioprio_set and ioprio_get syscalls can now be absent (return
error ENOSYS by way of cond_syscall if so).
(*) The seclvl_bd_claim() and seclvl_bd_release() security calls do nothing if
CONFIG_BLOCK is not set, since they can't then happen.

Cannot build XFS filesystem support as module with quota support. It
works only when the XFS filesystem support is compiled into the kernel.
Menuconfig prevents from setting CONFIG_XFS_FS=m and CONFIG_XFS_QUOTA=y.
How to reproduce: configure the XFS filesystem with quota support as
module. The resulting kernel won't have quota support compiled into
xfs.ko.
Fix: Changing the fs/xfs/Kconfig file from tristate to bool lets you
configure the quota support to be compiled into the XFS module. The
Makefile-linux-2.6 checks only for CONFIG_XFS_QUOTA=y.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
