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

Most of the callers are just calling ASSERT(!xfs_buf_geterror())
which means they are checking for bp->b_error == 0. If bp is null in
this case, we will assert fail, and hence it's no different in
result to oopsing because of a null bp. In some cases, errors have
already been checked for or the function returning the buffer can't
return a buffer with an error, so it's just a redundant assert.
Either way, the assert can either be removed.

And interesting situation can occur if a log IO error occurs during
the unmount of a filesystem. The cases reported have the same
signature - the update of the superblock counters fails due to a log
write IO error:
XFS (dm-16): xfs_do_force_shutdown(0x2) called from line 1170 of file fs/xfs/xfs_log.c. Return address = 0xffffffffa08a44a1
XFS (dm-16): Log I/O Error Detected. Shutting down filesystem
XFS (dm-16): Unable to update superblock counters. Freespace may not be correct on next mount.
XFS (dm-16): xfs_log_force: error 5 returned.
XFS (¿-¿¿¿): Please umount the filesystem and rectify the problem(s)
It can be seen that the last line of output contains a corrupt
device name - this is because the log and xfs_mount structures have
already been freed by the time this message is printed. A kernel
oops closely follows.
The issue is that the shutdown is occurring in a separate IO
completion thread to the unmount. Once the shutdown processing has
started and all the iclogs are marked with XLOG_STATE_IOERROR, the
log shutdown code wakes anyone waiting on a log force so they can
process the shutdown error. This wakes up the unmount code that
is doing a synchronous transaction to update the superblock
counters.
The unmount path now sees all the iclogs are marked with
XLOG_STATE_IOERROR and so never waits on them again, knowing that if
it does, there will not be a wakeup trigger for it and we will hang
the unmount if we do. Hence the unmount runs through all the
remaining code and frees all the filesystem structures while the
xlog_iodone() is still processing the shutdown. When the log
shutdown processing completes, xfs_do_force_shutdown() emits the
"Please umount the filesystem and rectify the problem(s)" message,
and xlog_iodone() then aborts all the objects attached to the iclog.
An iclog that has already been freed....
The real issue here is that there is no serialisation point between
the log IO and the unmount. We have serialisations points for log
writes, log forces, reservations, etc, but we don't actually have
any code that wakes for log IO to fully complete. We do that for all
other types of object, so why not iclogbufs?
Well, it turns out that we can easily do this. We've got xfs_buf
handles, and that's what everyone else uses for IO serialisation.
i.e. bp->b_sema. So, lets hold iclogbufs locked over IO, and only
release the lock in xlog_iodone() when we are finished with the
buffer. That way before we tear down the iclog, we can lock and
unlock the buffer to ensure IO completion has finished completely
before we tear it down.

Recent analysis of a deadlocked XFS filesystem from a kernel
crash dump indicated that the filesystem was stuck waiting for log
space. The short story of the hang on the RHEL6 kernel is this:
- the tail of the log is pinned by an inode
- the inode has been pushed by the xfsaild
- the inode has been flushed to it's backing buffer and is
currently flush locked and hence waiting for backing
buffer IO to complete and remove it from the AIL
- the backing buffer is marked for write - it is on the
delayed write queue
- the inode buffer has been modified directly and logged
recently due to unlinked inode list modification
- the backing buffer is pinned in memory as it is in the
active CIL context.
- the xfsbufd won't start buffer writeback because it is
pinned
- xfssyncd won't force the log because it sees the log as
needing to be covered and hence wants to issue a dummy
transaction to move the log covering state machine along.
Hence there is no trigger to force the CIL to the log and hence
unpin the inode buffer and therefore complete the inode IO, remove
it from the AIL and hence move the tail of the log along, allowing
transactions to start again.
Mainline kernels also have the same deadlock, though the signature
is slightly different - the inode buffer never reaches the delayed
write lists because xfs_buf_item_push() sees that it is pinned and
hence never adds it to the delayed write list that the xfsaild
flushes.
There are two possible solutions here. The first is to simply force
the log before trying to cover the log and so ensure that the CIL is
emptied before we try to reserve space for the dummy transaction in
the xfs_log_worker(). While this might work most of the time, it is
still racy and is no guarantee that we don't get stuck in
xfs_trans_reserve waiting for log space to come free. Hence it's not
the best way to solve the problem.
The second solution is to modify xfs_log_need_covered() to be aware
of the CIL. We only should be attempting to cover the log if there
is no current activity in the log - covering the log is the process
of ensuring that the head and tail in the log on disk are identical
(i.e. the log is clean and at idle). Hence, by definition, if there
are items in the CIL then the log is not at idle and so we don't
need to attempt to cover it.
When we don't need to cover the log because it is active or idle, we
issue a log force from xfs_log_worker() - if the log is idle, then
this does nothing. However, if the log is active due to there being
items in the CIL, it will force the items in the CIL to the log and
unpin them.
In the case of the above deadlock scenario, instead of
xfs_log_worker() getting stuck in xfs_trans_reserve() attempting to
cover the log, it will instead force the log, thereby unpinning the
inode buffer, allowing IO to be issued and complete and hence
removing the inode that was pinning the tail of the log from the
AIL. At that point, everything will start moving along again. i.e.
the xfs_log_worker turns back into a watchdog that can alleviate
deadlocks based around pinned items that prevent the tail of the log
from being moved...

It is in a code path where &log->l_cilp->xc_ctx_lock is first

is being acquired in write mode causing a deadlock.
This is the stack:

xlog_print_tic_res
xfs_force_shutdown
xfs_log_force_umount
xlog_cil_force
xlog_cil_force_lsn
xlog_cil_push_foreground
xlog_cil_push - tries to acquire same semaphore in write mode
This patch fixes the deadlock by changing the reason code for

SHUTDOWN_LOG_IO_ERROR is the right reason code to be set since

And "ordered log vector" is a log vector that is used for
tracking a log item through the CIL and into the AIL as part of the
log checkpointing. These ordered log vectors are special in that
they are not written to to journal in any way, and are not accounted
to the checkpoint being written.
The reason for this behaviour is to allow operations to attach items
to transactions and have them follow the normal transactional
lifecycle without actually having to write them to the journal. This
allows logging of items that track high level logical changes and
writing them to the log, while the physical items being modified
pass through into the AIL and pin the tail of the log (and therefore
the logical item in the log) until all the modified items are
physically written to disk.
IOWs, it allows us to write metadata without physically logging
every individual change but still maintain the full transactional
integrity guarantees we currently have w.r.t. crash recovery.
This change modifies some of the CIL item insertion loops, as
ordered log vectors introduce some new constraints as they don't
track any data. One advantage of this change is that it combines
two log vector chain walks into a single pass, so there is less
overhead in the transaction commit pass as well. It also kills some
unused code in the log vector walk loop when committing the CIL.

The direct IO path can do a nested transaction reservation when
writing past the EOF. The first transaction is the append
transaction for setting the filesize at IO completion, but we can
also need a transaction for allocation of blocks. If the log is low
on space due to reservations and small log, the append transaction
can be granted after wating for space as the only active transaction
in the system. This then attempts a reservation for an allocation,
which there isn't space in the log for, and the reservation sleeps.
The result is that there is nothing left in the system to wake up
all the processes waiting for log space to come free.
The stack trace that shows this deadlock is relatively innocuous:
xlog_grant_head_wait
xlog_grant_head_check
xfs_log_reserve
xfs_trans_reserve
xfs_iomap_write_direct
__xfs_get_blocks

xfs_vm_direct_IO
generic_file_direct_write
xfs_file_dio_aio_writ
xfs_file_aio_write
do_sync_write
vfs_write
This was discovered on a filesystem with a log of only 10MB, and a
log stripe unit of 256k whih increased the base reservations by
512k. Hence a allocation transaction requires 1.2MB of log space to
be available instead of only 260k, and so greatly increased the
chance that there wouldn't be enough log space available for the
nested transaction to succeed. The key to reproducing it is this
mkfs command:
mkfs.xfs -f -d agcount=16,su=256k,sw=12 -l su=256k,size=2560b $SCRATCH_DEV
The test case was a 1000 fsstress processes running with random

Implement CRCs for the log buffers. We re-use a field in
struct xlog_rec_header that was used for a weak checksum of the
log buffer payload in debug builds before.
The new checksumming uses the crc32c checksum we will use elsewhere
in XFS, and also protects the record header and addition cycle data.
Due to this there are some interesting changes in xlog_sync, as we
need to do the cycle wrapping for the split buffer case much earlier,
as we would touch the buffer after generating the checksum otherwise.
The CRC calculation is always enabled, even for non-CRC filesystems,
as adding this CRC does not change the log format. On non-CRC
filesystems, only issue an alert if a CRC mismatch is found and
allow recovery to continue - this will act as an indicator that
log recovery problems are a result of log corruption. On CRC enabled
filesystems, however, log recovery will fail.
Note that existing debug kernels will write a simple checksum value
to the log, so the first time this is run on a filesystem taht was
last used on a debug kernel it will through CRC mismatch warning
errors. These can be ignored.

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

The log write code stamps each iclog with the current tail LSN in
the iclog header so that recovery knows where to find the tail of
thelog once it has found the head. Normally this is taken from the
first item on the AIL - the log item that corresponds to the oldest
active item in the log.
The problem is that when the AIL is empty, the tail lsn is dervied
from the the l_last_sync_lsn, which is the LSN of the last iclog to
be written to the log. In most cases this doesn't happen, because
the AIL is rarely empty on an active filesystem. However, when it
does, it opens up an interesting case when the transaction being
committed to the iclog spans multiple iclogs.
That is, the first iclog is stamped with the l_last_sync_lsn, and IO
is issued. Then the next iclog is setup, the changes copied into the
iclog (takes some time), and then the l_last_sync_lsn is stamped
into the header and IO is issued. This is still the same
transaction, so the tail lsn of both iclogs must be the same for log
recovery to find the entire transaction to be able to replay it.
The problem arises in that the iclog buffer IO completion updates
the l_last_sync_lsn with it's own LSN. Therefore, If the first iclog
completes it's IO before the second iclog is filled and has the tail
lsn stamped in it, it will stamp the LSN of the first iclog into
it's tail lsn field. If the system fails at this point, log recovery
will not see a complete transaction, so the transaction will no be
replayed.
The fix is simple - the l_last_sync_lsn is updated when a iclog
buffer IO completes, and this is incorrect. The l_last_sync_lsn
shoul dbe updated when a transaction is completed by a iclog buffer
IO. That is, only iclog buffers that have transaction commit
callbacks attached to them should update the l_last_sync_lsn. This
means that the last_sync_lsn will only move forward when a commit
record it written, not in the middle of a large transaction that is
rolling through multiple iclog buffers.

xfs_quiesce_attr() is supposed to leave the log empty with an
unmount record written. Right now it does not wait for the AIL to be
emptied before writing the unmount record, not does it wait for
metadata IO completion, either. Fix it to use the same method and
code as xfs_log_unmount().

With the syncd functions moved to the log and/or removed, the syncd
workqueue is the only remaining bit left. It is used by the log
covering/ail pushing work, as well as by the inode reclaim work.
Given how cheap workqueues are these days, give the log and inode
reclaim work their own work queues and kill the syncd work queue.

When unmounting the filesystem, there are lots of operations that
need to be done in a specific order, and they are spread across
across a couple of functions. We have to drain the AIL before we
write the unmount record, and we have to shut down the background
log work before we do either of them.
But this is all split haphazardly across xfs_unmountfs() and
xfs_log_unmount(). Move all the AIL flushing and log manipulations
to xfs_log_unmount() so that the responisbilities of each function
is clear and the operations they perform obvious.

The only thing the periodic sync work does now is flush the AIL and
idle the log. These are really functions of the log code, so move
the work to xfs_log.c and rename it appropriately.
The only wart that this leaves behind is the xfssyncd_centisecs
sysctl, otherwise the xfssyncd is dead. Clean up any comments that
related to xfssyncd to reflect it's passing.

Revert commit 1307bbd, which uses the s_umount semaphore to provide
exclusion between xfs_sync_worker and unmount, in favor of shutting down
the sync worker before freeing the log in xfs_log_unmount. This is a
cleaner way of resolving the race between xfs_sync_worker and unmount
than using s_umount.

To enable easy tracing of the location of log forces and the
frequency of them via perf, add a pair of trace points to the log
force functions. This will help debug where excessive log forces
are being issued from by simple perf commands like:
# ~/perf/perf top -e xfs:xfs_log_force -G -U

Now that we pass block counts everywhere, and index buffers by block
number and length in units of blocks, convert the desired IO size
into block counts rather than bytes. Convert the code to use block
counts, and those that need byte counts get converted at the time of
use.
Rename the b_desired_count variable to something closer to it's
purpose - b_io_length - as it is only used to specify the length of
an IO for a subset of the buffer. The only time this is used is for
log IO - both writing iclogs and during log recovery. In all other
cases, the b_io_length matches b_length, and hence a lot of code
confuses the two. e.g. the buf item code uses the io count
exclusively when it should be using the buffer length. Fix these
apprpriately as they are found.
Also, remove the XFS_BUF_{SET_}COUNT() macros that are just wrappers
around the desired IO length. They only serve to make the code
shouty loud, don't actually add any real value, and are often used
incorrectly.

The xfs_buf_get/read API is not consistent in the units it uses, and
does not use appropriate or consistent units/types for the
variables.
Convert the API to use disk addresses and block counts for all
buffer get and read calls. Use consistent naming for all the
functions and their declarations, and convert the internal functions
to use disk addresses and block counts to avoid need to convert them
from one type to another and back again.
Fix all the callers to use disk addresses and block counts. In many
cases, this removes an additional conversion from the function call
as the callers already have a block count.

Provide a variant of xlog_assign_tail_lsn that has the AIL lock already
held. By doing so we do an additional atomic_read + atomic_set under
the lock, which comes down to two instructions.
Switch xfs_trans_ail_update_bulk and xfs_trans_ail_delete_bulk to the
new version to reduce the number of lock roundtrips, and prepare for
a new addition that would require a third lock roundtrip in
xfs_trans_ail_delete_bulk. This addition is also the reason for
slightly rearranging the conditionals and relying on xfs_log_space_wake
for checking that the filesystem has been shut down internally.

There have been a few reports of this warning appearing recently:
XFS (dm-4): xlog_space_left: head behind tail
tail_cycle = 129, tail_bytes = 20163072
GH cycle = 129, GH bytes = 20162880
The common cause appears to be lots of freeze and unfreeze cycles,
and the output from the warnings indicates that we are leaking
around 8 bytes of log space per freeze/unfreeze cycle.
When we freeze the filesystem, we write an unmount record and that
uses xlog_write directly - a special type of transaction,
effectively. What it doesn't do, however, is correctly account for
the log space it uses. The unmount record writes an 8 byte structure
with a special magic number into the log, and the space this
consumes is not accounted for in the log ticket tracking the
operation. Hence we leak 8 bytes every unmount record that is
written.
