xfs: xlog_sync() manually adjusts grant head space
When xlog_sync() rounds off the tail the iclog that is being flushed, it manually subtracts that space from the grant heads. This space is actually reserved by the transaction ticket that covers the xlog_sync() call from xlog_write(), but we don't plumb the ticket down far enough for it to account for the space consumed in the current log ticket. The grant heads are hot, so we really should be accounting this to the ticket is we can, rather than adding thousands of extra grant head updates every CIL commit. Interestingly, this actually indicates a potential log space overrun can occur when we force the log. By the time that xfs_log_force() pushes out an active iclog and consumes the roundoff space, the reservation for that roundoff space has been returned to the grant heads and is no longer covered by a reservation. In theory the roundoff added to log force on an already full log could push the write head past the tail. In practice, the CIL commit that writes to the log and needs the iclog pushed will have reserved space for roundoff, so when it releases the ticket there will still be physical space for the roundoff to be committed to the log, even though it is no longer reserved. This roundoff won't be enough space to allow a transaction to be woken if the log is full, so overruns should not actually occur in practice. That said, it indicates that we should not release the CIL context log ticket until after we've released the commit iclog. It also means that xlog_sync() still needs the direct grant head manipulation if we don't provide it with a ticket. Log forces are rare when we are in fast paths running 1.5 million transactions/s that make the grant heads hot, so let's optimise the hot case and pass CIL log tickets down to the xlog_sync() code.

xfs: move CIL ordering to the logvec chain
Adding a list_sort() call to the CIL push work while the xc_ctx_lock is held exclusively has resulted in fairly long lock hold times and that stops all front end transaction commits from making progress. We can move the sorting out of the xc_ctx_lock if we can transfer the ordering information to the log vectors as they are detached from the log items and then we can sort the log vectors. With these changes, we can move the list_sort() call to just before we call xlog_write() when we aren't holding any locks at all.

xfs: convert CIL to unordered per cpu lists
So that we can remove the cil_lock which is a global serialisation
point. We've already got ordering sorted, so all we need to do is
treat the CIL list like the busy extent list and reconstruct it
before the push starts.
This is what we're trying to avoid:
- 75.35% 1.83% [kernel] [k] xfs_log_commit_cil
- 46.35% xfs_log_commit_cil
- 41.54% _raw_spin_lock
- 67.30% do_raw_spin_lock
66.96% __pv_queued_spin_lock_slowpath
Which happens on a 32p system when running a 32-way 'rm -rf'
workload. After this patch:
- 20.90% 3.23% [kernel] [k] xfs_log_commit_cil
- 17.67% xfs_log_commit_cil
- 6.51% xfs_log_ticket_ungrant
1.40% xfs_log_space_wake
2.32% memcpy_erms
- 2.18% xfs_buf_item_committing
- 2.12% xfs_buf_item_release
- 1.03% xfs_buf_unlock
0.96% up
0.72% xfs_buf_rele
1.33% xfs_inode_item_format
1.19% down_read
0.91% up_read
0.76% xfs_buf_item_format
- 0.68% kmem_alloc_large
- 0.67% kmem_alloc
0.64% __kmalloc
0.50% xfs_buf_item_size
It kinda looks like the workload is running out of log space all
the time. But all the spinlock contention is gone and the
transaction commit rate has gone from 800k/s to 1.3M/s so the amount
of real work being done has gone up a *lot*.

xfs: Add order IDs to log items in CIL
Before we split the ordered CIL up into per cpu lists, we need a mechanism to track the order of the items in the CIL. We need to do this because there are rules around the order in which related items must physically appear in the log even inside a single checkpoint transaction. An example of this is intents - an intent must appear in the log before it's intent done record so that log recovery can cancel the intent correctly. If we have these two records misordered in the CIL, then they will not be recovered correctly by journal replay. We also will not be able to move items to the tail of the CIL list when they are relogged, hence the log items will need some mechanism to allow the correct log item order to be recreated before we write log items to the hournal. Hence we need to have a mechanism for recording global order of transactions in the log items so that we can recover that order from un-ordered per-cpu lists. Do this with a simple monotonic increasing commit counter in the CIL context. Each log item in the transaction gets stamped with the current commit order ID before it is added to the CIL. If the item is already in the CIL, leave it where it is instead of moving it to the tail of the list and instead sort the list before we start the push work.

xfs: implement percpu cil space used calculation
Now that we have the CIL percpu structures in place, implement the space used counter as a per-cpu counter. We have to be really careful now about ensuring that the checks and updates run without arbitrary delays, which means they need to run with pre-emption disabled. We do this by careful placement of the get_cpu_ptr/put_cpu_ptr calls to access the per-cpu structures for that CPU. We need to be able to reliably detect that the CIL has reached the hard limit threshold so we can take extra reservations for the iclog headers when the space used overruns the original reservation. hence we factor out xlog_cil_over_hard_limit() from xlog_cil_push_background(). The global CIL space used is an atomic variable that is backed by per-cpu aggregation to minimise the number of atomic updates we do to the global state in the fast path. While we are under the soft limit, we aggregate only when the per-cpu aggregation is over the proportion of the soft limit assigned to that CPU. This means that all CPUs can use all but one byte of their aggregation threshold and we will not go over the soft limit. Hence once we detect that we've gone over both a per-cpu aggregation threshold and the soft limit, we know that we have only exceeded the soft limit by one per-cpu aggregation threshold. Even if all CPUs hit this at the same time, we can't be over the hard limit, so we can run an aggregation back into the atomic counter at this point and still be under the hard limit. At this point, we will be over the soft limit and hence we'll aggregate into the global atomic used space directly rather than the per-cpu counters, hence providing accurate detection of hard limit excursion for accounting and reservation purposes. Hence we get the best of both worlds - lockless, scalable per-cpu fast path plus accurate, atomic detection of hard limit excursion.

xfs: introduce per-cpu CIL tracking structure
The CIL push lock is highly contended on larger machines, becoming a hard bottleneck that about 700,000 transaction commits/s on >16p machines. To address this, start moving the CIL tracking infrastructure to utilise per-CPU structures. We need to track the space used, the amount of log reservation space reserved to write the CIL, the log items in the CIL and the busy extents that need to be completed by the CIL commit. This requires a couple of per-cpu counters, an unordered per-cpu list and a globally ordered per-cpu list. Create a per-cpu structure to hold these and all the management interfaces needed, as well as the hooks to handle hotplug CPUs.

xfs: rework per-iclog header CIL reservation
For every iclog that a CIL push will use up, we need to ensure we have space reserved for the iclog header in each iclog. It is extremely difficult to do this accurately with a per-cpu counter without expensive summing of the counter in every commit. However, we know what the maximum CIL size is going to be because of the hard space limit we have, and hence we know exactly how many iclogs we are going to need to write out the CIL. We are constrained by the requirement that small transactions only have reservation space for a single iclog header built into them. At commit time we don't know how much of the current transaction reservation is made up of iclog header reservations as calculated by xfs_log_calc_unit_res() when the ticket was reserved. As larger reservations have multiple header spaces reserved, we can steal more than one iclog header reservation at a time, but we only steal the exact number needed for the given log vector size delta. As a result, we don't know exactly when we are going to steal iclog header reservations, nor do we know exactly how many we are going to need for a given CIL. To make things simple, start by calculating the worst case number of iclog headers a full CIL push will require. Record this into an atomic variable in the CIL. Then add a byte counter to the log ticket that records exactly how much iclog header space has been reserved in this ticket by xfs_log_calc_unit_res(). This tells us exactly how much space we can steal from the ticket at transaction commit time. Now, at transaction commit time, we can check if the CIL has a full iclog header reservation and, if not, steal the entire reservation the current ticket holds for iclog headers. This minimises the number of times we need to do atomic operations in the fast path, but still guarantees we get all the reservations we need.

xfs: use the CIL space used counter for emptiness checks
In the next patches we are going to make the CIL list itself per-cpu, and so we cannot use list_empty() to check is the list is empty. Replace the list_empty() checks with a flag in the CIL to indicate we have committed at least one transaction to the CIL and hence the CIL is not empty. We need this flag to be an atomic so that we can clear it without holding any locks in the commit fast path, but we also need to be careful to avoid atomic operations in the fast path. Hence we use the fact that test_bit() is not an atomic op to first check if the flag is set and then run the atomic test_and_clear_bit() operation to clear it and steal the initial unit reservation for the CIL context checkpoint. When we are switching to a new context in a push, we place the setting of the XLOG_CIL_EMPTY flag under the xc_push_lock. THis allows all the other places that need to check whether the CIL is empty to use test_bit() and still be serialised correctly with the CIL context swaps that set the bit.

Pull xfs updates from Dave Chinner:
"This is a big update with lots of new code. The summary below them
all, so I'll just touch on teh higlights. The two main new features
are Large Extent Counts and Logged Attribute Replay - these are two
new foundational features that we are building more complex future
features on top of.
For upcoming functionality, we need to be able to store hundreds of
millions of xattrs per inode. The Large Extent Count feature removes
the limits that prevent this scale of xattr storage, and while we were
modifying the on disk extent count format we also increased the number
of data extents we support per inode from 2^32 to 2^47.
We also need to be able to modify xattrs as part of larger atomic
transactions rather than as standalone transactions. The Logged
Attribute Replay feature introduces the infrastructure that allows us
to use intents to record the attribute modifications in the journal
before we start them, hence allowing other atomic transactions to log
attribute modification intents and then defer the actual modification
to later. If we then crash, log recovery then guarantees that the
attribute is replayed in the context of the atomic transaction that
logged the intent.
A significant chunk of the commits in this merge are for the base
attribute replay functionality along with fixes, improvements and
cleanups related to this new functioanlity. Allison deserves a big
round of thanks for her ongoing work to get this functionality into
XFS.
There are also many other smaller changes and improvements, so overall
this is one of the bigger XFS merge requests in some time.
I will be following up next week with another smaller pull request -
we already have another round of fixes and improvements to the logged
attribute replay functionality just about ready to go. They'll soak
and test over the next week, and I'll send a pull request for them
near the end of the merge window.

xfs: intent item whiteouts
When we log modifications based on intents, we add both intent and intent done items to the modification being made. These get written to the log to ensure that the operation is re-run if the intent done is not found in the log. However, for operations that complete wholly within a single checkpoint, the change in the checkpoint is atomic and will never need replay. In this case, we don't need to actually write the intent and intent done items to the journal because log recovery will never need to manually restart this modification. Log recovery currently handles intent/intent done matching by inserting the intent into the AIL, then removing it when a matching intent done item is found. Hence for all the intent-based operations that complete within a checkpoint, we spend all that time parsing the intent/intent done items just to cancel them and do nothing with them. Hence it follows that the only time we actually need intents in the log is when the modification crosses checkpoint boundaries in the log and so may only be partially complete in the journal. Hence if we commit and intent done item to the CIL and the intent item is in the same checkpoint, we don't actually have to write them to the journal because log recovery will always cancel the intents. We've never really worried about the overhead of logging intents unnecessarily like this because the intents we log are generally very much smaller than the change being made. e.g. freeing an extent involves modifying at lease two freespace btree blocks and the AGF, so the EFI/EFD overhead is only a small increase in space and processing time compared to the overall cost of freeing an extent. However, delayed attributes change this cost equation dramatically, especially for inline attributes. In the case of adding an inline attribute, we only log the inode core and attribute fork at present. With delayed attributes, we now log the attr intent which includes the name and value, the inode core adn attr fork, and finally the attr intent done item. We increase the number of items we log from 1 to 3, and the number of log vectors (regions) goes up from 3 to 7. Hence we tripple the number of objects that the CIL has to process, and more than double the number of log vectors that need to be written to the journal. At scale, this means delayed attributes cause a non-pipelined CIL to become CPU bound processing all the extra items, resulting in a > 40% performance degradation on 16-way file+xattr create worklaods. Pipelining the CIL (as per 5.15) reduces the performance degradation to 20%, but now the limitation is the rate at which the log items can be written to the iclogs and iclogs be dispatched for IO and completed. Even log IO completion is slowed down by these intents, because it now has to process 3x the number of items in the checkpoint. Processing completed intents is especially inefficient here, because we first insert the intent into the AIL, then remove it from the AIL when the intent done is processed. IOWs, we are also doing expensive operations in log IO completion we could completely avoid if we didn't log completed intent/intent done pairs. Enter log item whiteouts. When an intent done is committed, we can check to see if the associated intent is in the same checkpoint as we are currently committing the intent done to. If so, we can mark the intent log item with a whiteout and immediately free the intent done item rather than committing it to the CIL. We can basically skip the entire formatting and CIL insertion steps for the intent done item. However, we cannot remove the intent item from the CIL at this point because the unlocked per-cpu CIL item lists do not permit removal without holding the CIL context lock exclusively. Transaction commit only holds the context lock shared, hence the best we can do is mark the intent item with a whiteout so that the CIL push can release it rather than writing it to the log. This means we never write the intent to the log if the intent done has also been committed to the same checkpoint, but we'll always write the intent if the intent done has not been committed or has been committed to a different checkpoint. This will result in correct log recovery behaviour in all cases, without the overhead of logging unnecessary intents. This intent whiteout concept is generic - we can apply it to all intent/intent done pairs that have a direct 1:1 relationship. The way deferred ops iterate and relog intents mean that all intents currently have a 1:1 relationship with their done intent, and hence we can apply this cancellation to all existing intent/intent done implementations. For delayed attributes with a 16-way 64kB xattr create workload, whiteouts reduce the amount of journalled metadata from ~2.5GB/s down to ~600MB/s and improve the creation rate from 9000/s to 14000/s.

xfs: pass lv chain length into xlog_write()
The caller of xlog_write() usually has a close accounting of the aggregated vector length contained in the log vector chain passed to xlog_write(). There is no need to iterate the chain to calculate he length of the data in xlog_write_calculate_len() if the caller is already iterating that chain to build it. Passing in the vector length avoids doing an extra chain iteration, which can be a significant amount of work given that large CIL commits can have hundreds of thousands of vectors attached to the chain.

xfs: reserve space and initialise xlog_op_header in item formatting
Current xlog_write() adds op headers to the log manually for every log item region that is in the vector passed to it. While xlog_write() needs to stamp the transaction ID into the ophdr, we already know it's length, flags, clientid, etc at CIL commit time. This means the only time that xlog write really needs to format and reserve space for a new ophdr is when a region is split across two iclogs. Adding the opheader and accounting for it as part of the normal formatted item region means we simplify the accounting of space used by a transaction and we don't have to special case reserving of space in for the ophdrs in xlog_write(). It also means we can largely initialise the ophdr in transaction commit instead of xlog_write, making the xlog_write formatting inner loop much tighter. xlog_prepare_iovec() is now too large to stay as an inline function, so we move it out of line and into xfs_log.c. Object sizes: text data bss dec hex filename 1125934 305951 484 1432369 15db31 fs/xfs/built-in.a.before 1123360 305951 484 1429795 15d123 fs/xfs/built-in.a.after So the code is a roughly 2.5kB smaller with xlog_prepare_iovec() now out of line, even though it grew in size itself.

xfs: log tickets don't need log client id
We currently set the log ticket client ID when we reserve a transaction. This client ID is only ever written to the log by a CIL checkpoint or unmount records, and so anything using a high level transaction allocated through xfs_trans_alloc() does not need a log ticket client ID to be set. For the CIL checkpoint, the client ID written to the journal is always XFS_TRANSACTION, and for the unmount record it is always XFS_LOG, and nothing else writes to the log. All of these operations tell xlog_write() exactly what they need to write to the log (the optype) and build their own opheaders for start, commit and unmount records. Hence we no longer need to set the client id in either the log ticket or the xfs_trans.

xfs: only CIL pushes require a start record
So move the one-off start record writing in xlog_write() out into
the static header that the CIL push builds to write into the log
initially. This simplifes the xlog_write() logic a lot.
pahole on x86-64 confirms that the xlog_cil_trans_hdr is correctly
32 bit aligned and packed for copying the log op and transaction
headers directly into the log as a single log region copy.
struct xlog_cil_trans_hdr {
struct xlog_op_header oph[2]; /* 0 24 */
struct xfs_trans_header thdr; /* 24 16 */
struct xfs_log_iovec lhdr[2]; /* 40 32 */
/* size: 72, cachelines: 2, members: 3 */
/* last cacheline: 8 bytes */
};
A wart is needed to handle the fact that length of the region the
opheader points to doesn't include the opheader length. hence if
we embed the opheader, we have to substract the opheader length from
the length written into the opheader by the generic copying code.
This will eventually go away when everything is converted to
embedded opheaders.

xfs: log shutdown triggers should only shut down the log
We've got a mess on our hands. 1. xfs_trans_commit() cannot cancel transactions because the mount is shut down - that causes dirty, aborted, unlogged log items to sit unpinned in memory and potentially get written to disk before the log is shut down. Hence xfs_trans_commit() can only abort transactions when xlog_is_shutdown() is true. 2. xfs_force_shutdown() is used in places to cause the current modification to be aborted via xfs_trans_commit() because it may be impractical or impossible to cancel the transaction directly, and hence xfs_trans_commit() must cancel transactions when xfs_is_shutdown() is true in this situation. But we can't do that because of #1. 3. Log IO errors cause log shutdowns by calling xfs_force_shutdown() to shut down the mount and then the log from log IO completion. 4. xfs_force_shutdown() can result in a log force being issued, which has to wait for log IO completion before it will mark the log as shut down. If #3 races with some other shutdown trigger that runs a log force, we rely on xfs_force_shutdown() silently ignoring #3 and avoiding shutting down the log until the failed log force completes. 5. To ensure #2 always works, we have to ensure that xfs_force_shutdown() does not return until the the log is shut down. But in the case of #4, this will result in a deadlock because the log Io completion will block waiting for a log force to complete which is blocked waiting for log IO to complete.... So the very first thing we have to do here to untangle this mess is dissociate log shutdown triggers from mount shutdowns. We already have xlog_forced_shutdown, which will atomically transistion to the log a shutdown state. Due to internal asserts it cannot be called multiple times, but was done simply because the only place that could call it was xfs_do_force_shutdown() (i.e. the mount shutdown!) and that could only call it once and once only. So the first thing we do is remove the asserts. We then convert all the internal log shutdown triggers to call xlog_force_shutdown() directly instead of xfs_force_shutdown(). This allows the log shutdown triggers to shut down the log without needing to care about mount based shutdown constraints. This means we shut down the log independently of the mount and the mount may not notice this until it's next attempt to read or modify metadata. At that point (e.g. xfs_trans_commit()) it will see that the log is shutdown, error out and shutdown the mount. To ensure that all the unmount behaviours and asserts track correctly as a result of a log shutdown, propagate the shutdown up to the mount if it is not already set. This keeps the mount and log state in sync, and saves a huge amount of hassle where code fails because of a log shutdown but only checks for mount shutdowns and hence ends up doing the wrong thing. Cleaning up that mess is an exercise for another day. This enables us to address the other problems noted above in followup patches.

xfs: async CIL flushes need pending pushes to be made stable
When the AIL tries to flush the CIL, it relies on the CIL push
ending up on stable storage without having to wait for and
manipulate iclog state directly. However, if there is already a
pending CIL push when the AIL tries to flush the CIL, it won't set
the cil->xc_push_commit_stable flag and so the CIL push will not
actively flush the commit record iclog.
generic/530 when run on a single CPU test VM can trigger this fairly
reliably. This test exercises unlinked inode recovery, and can
result in inodes being pinned in memory by ongoing modifications to
the inode cluster buffer to record unlinked list modifications. As a
result, the first inode unlinked in a buffer can pin the tail of the
log whilst the inode cluster buffer is pinned by the current
checkpoint that has been pushed but isn't on stable storage because
because the cil->xc_push_commit_stable was not set. This results in
the log/AIL effectively deadlocking until something triggers the
commit record iclog to be pushed to stable storage (i.e. the
periodic log worker calling xfs_log_force()).
The fix is two-fold - first we should always set the
cil->xc_push_commit_stable when xlog_cil_flush() is called,
regardless of whether there is already a pending push or not.
Second, if the CIL is empty, we should trigger an iclog flush to
ensure that the iclogs of the last checkpoint have actually been
submitted to disk as that checkpoint may not have been run under
stable completion constraints.

13.73% memcpy_erms
- 2.22% kvfree
On this workload, that's almost a dozen CPUs all trying to compact
and reclaim memory inside kvmalloc_node at the same time. Yet it is
regularly falling back to vmalloc despite all that compaction, page
and shrinker reclaim that direct reclaim is doing. Copying all the
metadata is taking far less CPU time than allocating the storage!
Direct reclaim should be considered extremely harmful.
This is a high frequency, high throughput, CPU usage and latency
sensitive allocation. We've got memory there, and we're using
kvmalloc to allow memory allocation to avoid doing lots of work to
try to do contiguous allocations.
Except it still does *lots of costly work* that is unnecessary.
Worse: the only way to avoid the slowpath page allocation trying to
do compaction on costly allocations is to turn off direct reclaim
(i.e. remove __GFP_RECLAIM_DIRECT from the gfp flags).
Unfortunately, the stupid kvmalloc API then says "oh, this isn't a
GFP_KERNEL allocation context, so you only get kmalloc!". This
cuts off the vmalloc fallback, and this leads to almost instant OOM
problems which ends up in filesystems deadlocks, shutdowns and/or
kernel crashes.
I want some basic kvmalloc behaviour:
- kmalloc for a contiguous range with fail fast semantics - no
compaction direct reclaim if the allocation enters the slow path.
- run normal vmalloc (i.e. GFP_KERNEL) if kmalloc fails
The really, really stupid part about this is these kvmalloc() calls
are run under memalloc_nofs task context, so all the allocations are
always reduced to GFP_NOFS regardless of the fact that kvmalloc
requires GFP_KERNEL to be passed in. IOWs, we're already telling
kvmalloc to behave differently to the gfp flags we pass in, but it
still won't allow vmalloc to be run with anything other than
GFP_KERNEL.
So, this patch open codes the kvmalloc() in the commit path to have
the above described behaviour. The result is we more than halve the
CPU time spend doing kvmalloc() in this path and transaction commits
with 64kB objects in them more than doubles. i.e. we get ~5x
reduction in CPU usage per costly-sized kvmalloc() invocation and
the profile looks like this:
- 37.60% xlog_cil_commit
16.01% memcpy_erms
- 8.45% __kmalloc
- 8.04% kmalloc_order_trace
- 8.03% kmalloc_order
- 7.93% alloc_pages
- 7.90% __alloc_pages
- 4.05% __alloc_pages_slowpath.constprop.0
- 2.18% get_page_from_freelist
- 1.77% wake_all_kswapds
....
- __wake_up_common_lock
- 0.94% _raw_spin_lock_irqsave
- 3.72% get_page_from_freelist
- 2.43% _raw_spin_lock_irqsave
- 5.72% vmalloc
- 5.72% __vmalloc_node_range
- 4.81% __get_vm_area_node.constprop.0
- 3.26% alloc_vmap_area
- 2.52% _raw_spin_lock
- 1.46% _raw_spin_lock
0.56% __alloc_pages_bulk
- 4.66% kvfree
- 3.25% vfree
- __vfree
- 3.23% __vunmap
- 1.95% remove_vm_area
- 1.06% free_vmap_area_noflush
- 0.82% _raw_spin_lock
- 0.68% _raw_spin_lock
- 0.92% _raw_spin_lock
- 1.40% kfree
- 1.36% __free_pages
- 1.35% __free_pages_ok
- 1.02% _raw_spin_lock_irqsave
It's worth noting that over 50% of the CPU time spent allocating
these shadow buffers is now spent on spinlocks. So the shadow buffer
allocation overhead is greatly reduced by getting rid of direct
reclaim from kmalloc, and could probably be made even less costly if
vmalloc() didn't use global spinlocks to protect it's structures.

xfs: prevent UAF in xfs_log_item_in_current_chkpt
While I was running with KASAN and lockdep enabled, I stumbled upon an
KASAN report about a UAF to a freed CIL checkpoint. Looking at the
comment for xfs_log_item_in_current_chkpt, it seems pretty obvious to me
that the original patch to xfs_defer_finish_noroll should have done
something to lock the CIL to prevent it from switching the CIL contexts
while the predicate runs.
For upper level code that needs to know if a given log item is new
enough not to need relogging, add a new wrapper that takes the CIL
context lock long enough to sample the current CIL context. This is
kind of racy in that the CIL can switch the contexts immediately after
sampling, but that's ok because the consequence is that the defer ops
code is a little slow to relog items.

xfs: CIL work is serialised, not pipelined
Because we use a single work structure attached to the CIL rather than the CIL context, we can only queue a single work item at a time. This results in the CIL being single threaded and limits performance when it becomes CPU bound. The design of the CIL is that it is pipelined and multiple commits can be running concurrently, but the way the work is currently implemented means that it is not pipelining as it was intended. The critical work to switch the CIL context can take a few milliseconds to run, but the rest of the CIL context flush can take hundreds of milliseconds to complete. The context switching is the serialisation point of the CIL, once the context has been switched the rest of the context push can run asynchrnously with all other context pushes. Hence we can move the work to the CIL context so that we can run multiple CIL pushes at the same time and spread the majority of the work out over multiple CPUs. We can keep the per-cpu CIL commit state on the CIL rather than the context, because the context is pinned to the CIL until the switch is done and we aggregate and drain the per-cpu state held on the CIL during the context switch. However, because we no longer serialise the CIL work, we can have effectively unlimited CIL pushes in progress. We don't want to do this - not only does it create contention on the iclogs and the state machine locks, we can run the log right out of space with outstanding pushes. Instead, limit the work concurrency to 4 concurrent works being processed at a time. This is enough concurrency to remove the CIL from being a CPU bound bottleneck but not enough to create new contention points or unbound concurrency issues.

xfs: AIL needs asynchronous CIL forcing
The AIL pushing is stalling on log forces when it comes across pinned items. This is happening on removal workloads where the AIL is dominated by stale items that are removed from AIL when the checkpoint that marks the items stale is committed to the journal. This results is relatively few items in the AIL, but those that are are often pinned as directories items are being removed from are still being logged. As a result, many push cycles through the CIL will first issue a blocking log force to unpin the items. This can take some time to complete, with tracing regularly showing push delays of half a second and sometimes up into the range of several seconds. Sequences like this aren't uncommon: .... 399.829437: xfsaild: last lsn 0x11002dd000 count 101 stuck 101 flushing 0 tout 20 <wanted 20ms, got 270ms delay> 400.099622: xfsaild: target 0x11002f3600, prev 0x11002f3600, last lsn 0x0 400.099623: xfsaild: first lsn 0x11002f3600 400.099679: xfsaild: last lsn 0x1100305000 count 16 stuck 11 flushing 0 tout 50 <wanted 50ms, got 500ms delay> 400.589348: xfsaild: target 0x110032e600, prev 0x11002f3600, last lsn 0x0 400.589349: xfsaild: first lsn 0x1100305000 400.589595: xfsaild: last lsn 0x110032e600 count 156 stuck 101 flushing 30 tout 50 <wanted 50ms, got 460ms delay> 400.950341: xfsaild: target 0x1100353000, prev 0x110032e600, last lsn 0x0 400.950343: xfsaild: first lsn 0x1100317c00 400.950436: xfsaild: last lsn 0x110033d200 count 105 stuck 101 flushing 0 tout 20 <wanted 20ms, got 200ms delay> 401.142333: xfsaild: target 0x1100361600, prev 0x1100353000, last lsn 0x0 401.142334: xfsaild: first lsn 0x110032e600 401.142535: xfsaild: last lsn 0x1100353000 count 122 stuck 101 flushing 8 tout 10 <wanted 10ms, got 10ms delay> 401.154323: xfsaild: target 0x1100361600, prev 0x1100361600, last lsn 0x1100353000 401.154328: xfsaild: first lsn 0x1100353000 401.154389: xfsaild: last lsn 0x1100353000 count 101 stuck 101 flushing 0 tout 20 <wanted 20ms, got 300ms delay> 401.451525: xfsaild: target 0x1100361600, prev 0x1100361600, last lsn 0x0 401.451526: xfsaild: first lsn 0x1100353000 401.451804: xfsaild: last lsn 0x1100377200 count 170 stuck 22 flushing 122 tout 50 <wanted 50ms, got 500ms delay> 401.933581: xfsaild: target 0x1100361600, prev 0x1100361600, last lsn 0x0 .... In each of these cases, every AIL pass saw 101 log items stuck on the AIL (pinned) with very few other items being found. Each pass, a log force was issued, and delay between last/first is the sleep time + the sync log force time. Some of these 101 items pinned the tail of the log. The tail of the log does slowly creep forward (first lsn), but the problem is that the log is actually out of reservation space because it's been running so many transactions that stale items that never reach the AIL but consume log space. Hence we have a largely empty AIL, with long term pins on items that pin the tail of the log that don't get pushed frequently enough to keep log space available. The problem is the hundreds of milliseconds that we block in the log force pushing the CIL out to disk. The AIL should not be stalled like this - it needs to run and flush items that are at the tail of the log with minimal latency. What we really need to do is trigger a log flush, but then not wait for it at all - we've already done our waiting for stuff to complete when we backed off prior to the log force being issued. Even if we remove the XFS_LOG_SYNC from the xfs_log_force() call, we still do a blocking flush of the CIL and that is what is causing the issue. Hence we need a new interface for the CIL to trigger an immediate background push of the CIL to get it moving faster but not to wait on that to occur. While the CIL is pushing, the AIL can also be pushing. We already have an internal interface to do this - xlog_cil_push_now() - but we need a wrapper for it to be used externally. xlog_cil_force_seq() can easily be extended to do what we need as it already implements the synchronous CIL push via xlog_cil_push_now(). Add the necessary flags and "push current sequence" semantics to xlog_cil_force_seq() and convert the AIL pushing to use it. One of the complexities here is that the CIL push does not guarantee that the commit record for the CIL checkpoint is written to disk. The current log force ensures this by submitting the current ACTIVE iclog that the commit record was written to. We need the CIL to actually write this commit record to disk for an async push to ensure that the checkpoint actually makes it to disk and unpins the pinned items in the checkpoint on completion. Hence we need to pass down to the CIL push that we are doing an async flush so that it can switch out the commit_iclog if necessary to get written to disk when the commit iclog is finally released.

xfs: order CIL checkpoint start records
Because log recovery depends on strictly ordered start records as well as strictly ordered commit records. This is a zero day bug in the way XFS writes pipelined transactions to the journal which is exposed by fixing the zero day bug that prevents the CIL from pipelining checkpoints. This re-introduces explicit concurrent commits back into the on-disk journal and hence out of order start records. The XFS journal commit code has never ordered start records and we have relied on strict commit record ordering for correct recovery ordering of concurrently written transactions. Unfortunately, root cause analysis uncovered the fact that log recovery uses the LSN of the start record for transaction commit processing. Hence, whilst the commits are processed in strict order by recovery, the LSNs associated with the commits can be out of order and so recovery may stamp incorrect LSNs into objects and/or misorder intents in the AIL for later processing. This can result in log recovery failures and/or on disk corruption, sometimes silent. Because this is a long standing log recovery issue, we can't just fix log recovery and call it good. This still leaves older kernels susceptible to recovery failures and corruption when replaying a log from a kernel that pipelines checkpoints. There is also the issue that in-memory ordering for AIL pushing and data integrity operations are based on checkpoint start LSNs, and if the start LSN is incorrect in the journal, it is also incorrect in memory. Hence there's really only one choice for fixing this zero-day bug: we need to strictly order checkpoint start records in ascending sequence order in the log, the same way we already strictly order commit records.

xfs: attach iclog callbacks in xlog_cil_set_ctx_write_state()
Now that we have a mechanism to guarantee that the callbacks attached to an iclog are owned by the context that attaches them until they drop their reference to the iclog via xlog_state_release_iclog(), we can attach callbacks to the iclog at any time we have an active reference to the iclog. xlog_state_get_iclog_space() always guarantees that the commit record will fit in the iclog it returns, so we can move this IO callback setting to xlog_cil_set_ctx_write_state(), record the commit iclog in the context and remove the need for the commit iclog to be returned by xlog_write() altogether. This, in turn, allows us to move the wakeup for ordered commit record writes up into xlog_cil_set_ctx_write_state(), too, because we have been guaranteed that this commit record will be physically located in the iclog before any waiting commit record at a higher sequence number will be granted iclog space. This further cleans up the post commit record write processing in the CIL push code, especially as xlog_state_release_iclog() will now clean up the context when shutdown errors occur.

xfs: don't run shutdown callbacks on active iclogs
When the log is shutdown, it currently walks all the iclogs and runs
callbacks that are attached to the iclogs, regardless of whether the
iclog is queued for IO completion or not. This creates a problem for
contexts attaching callbacks to iclogs in that a racing shutdown can
run the callbacks even before the attaching context has finished
processing the iclog and releasing it for IO submission.
If the callback processing of the iclog frees the structure that is
attached to the iclog, then this leads to an UAF scenario that can
only be protected against by holding the icloglock from the point
callbacks are attached through to the release of the iclog. While we
currently do this, it is not practical or sustainable.
Hence we need to make shutdown processing the responsibility of the
context that holds active references to the iclog. We know that the
contexts attaching callbacks to the iclog must have active
references to the iclog, and that means they must be in either
ACTIVE or WANT_SYNC states. xlog_state_do_callback() will skip over
iclogs in these states -except- when the log is shut down.
xlog_state_do_callback() checks the state of the iclogs while
holding the icloglock, therefore the reference count/state change
that occurs in xlog_state_release_iclog() after the callbacks are
atomic w.r.t. shutdown processing.
We can't push the responsibility of callback cleanup onto the CIL
context because we can have ACTIVE iclogs that have callbacks
attached that have already been released. Hence we really need to
internalise the cleanup of callbacks into xlog_state_release_iclog()
processing.
Indeed, we already have that internalisation via:
xlog_state_release_iclog
drop last reference
->SYNCING
xlog_sync
xlog_write_iclog
if (log_is_shutdown)
xlog_state_done_syncing()
xlog_state_do_callback()
<process shutdown on iclog that is now in SYNCING state>
The problem is that xlog_state_release_iclog() aborts before doing
anything if the log is already shut down. It assumes that the
callbacks have already been cleaned up, and it doesn't need to do
any cleanup.
Hence the fix is to remove the xlog_is_shutdown() check from
xlog_state_release_iclog() so that reference counts are correctly
released from the iclogs, and when the reference count is zero we
always transition to SYNCING if the log is shut down. Hence we'll
always enter the xlog_sync() path in a shutdown and eventually end
up erroring out the iclog IO and running xlog_state_do_callback() to
process the callbacks attached to the iclog.
This allows us to stop processing referenced ACTIVE/WANT_SYNC iclogs
directly in the shutdown code, and in doing so gets rid of the UAF
vector that currently exists. This then decouples the adding of
callbacks to the iclogs from xlog_state_release_iclog() as we
guarantee that xlog_state_release_iclog() will process the callbacks
if the log has been shut down before xlog_state_release_iclog() has
been called.

XFS (dm-3): metadata I/O error in "xlog_recover_items_pass2+0x55/0xc0" at daddr 0x37c00 len 32 error 117
Analysis of the logwrite replay shows that there were no writes to
the data device between the FUA @ write 124 and the FUA at write @
125, but log recovery @ 125 failed. The difference was the one log
write @ 125 moved the tail of the log forwards from (1,8) to (1,32)
and so the inode create intent in (1,8) was not replayed and so the
inode cluster was zero on disk when replay of the first inode item
in (1,32) was attempted.
What this meant was that the journal write that occurred at @ 125
did not ensure that metadata completed before the iclog was written
was correctly on stable storage. The tail of the log moved forward,
so IO must have been completed between the two iclog writes. This
means that there is a race condition between the unconditional async
cache flush in the CIL push work and the tail LSN that is written to
the iclog. This happens like so:
CIL push work AIL push work
------------- -------------
Add to committing list
start async data dev cache flush
.....
<flush completes>
<all writes to old tail lsn are stable>
xlog_write
.... push inode create buffer
<start IO>
.....
xlog_write(commit record)
.... <IO completes>
log tail moves
xlog_assign_tail_lsn()
start_lsn == commit_lsn
<no iclog preflush!>
xlog_state_release_iclog
__xlog_state_release_iclog()
<writes *new* tail_lsn into iclog>
xlog_sync()
....
submit_bio()
<tail in log moves forward without flushing written metadata>
Essentially, this can only occur if the commit iclog is issued
without a cache flush. If the iclog bio is submitted with
REQ_PREFLUSH, then it will guarantee that all the completed IO is
one stable storage before the iclog bio with the new tail LSN in it
is written to the log.
IOWs, the tail lsn that is written to the iclog needs to be sampled
*before* we issue the cache flush that guarantees all IO up to that
LSN has been completed.
To fix this without giving up the performance advantage of the
flush/FUA optimisations (e.g. g/482 runtime halves with 5.14-rc1
compared to 5.13), we need to ensure that we always issue a cache
flush if the tail LSN changes between the initial async flush and
the commit record being written. THis requires sampling the tail_lsn
before we start the flush, and then passing the sampled tail LSN to
xlog_state_release_iclog() so it can determine if the the tail LSN
has changed while writing the checkpoint. If the tail LSN has
changed, then it needs to set the NEED_FLUSH flag on the iclog and
we'll issue another cache flush before writing the iclog.

xfs: don't wait on future iclogs when pushing the CIL
The iclogbuf ring attached to the struct xlog is circular, hence the
first and last iclogs in the ring can only be determined by
comparing them against the log->l_iclog pointer.
In xfs_cil_push_work(), we want to wait on previous iclogs that were
issued so that we can flush them to stable storage with the commit
record write, and it simply waits on the previous iclog in the ring.
This, however, leads to CIL push hangs in generic/019 like so:
task:kworker/u33:0 state:D stack:12680 pid: 7 ppid: 2 flags:0x00004000
Workqueue: xfs-cil/pmem1 xlog_cil_push_work

With other threads blocking in either xlog_state_get_iclog_space()

The problem here is that the previous iclog on the ring might
actually be a future iclog. That is, if log->l_iclog points at
commit_iclog, commit_iclog is the first (oldest) iclog in the ring
and there are no previous iclogs pending as they have all completed
their IO and been activated again. IOWs, commit_iclog->ic_prev
points to an iclog that will be written in the future, not one that
has been written in the past.
Hence, in this case, waiting on the ->ic_prev iclog is incorrect
behaviour, and depending on the state of the future iclog, we can
end up with a circular ABA wait cycle and we hang.
The fix is made more complex by the fact that many iclogs states
cannot be used to determine if the iclog is a past or future iclog.
Hence we have to determine past iclogs by checking the LSN of the
iclog rather than their state. A past ACTIVE iclog will have a LSN
of zero, while a future ACTIVE iclog will have a LSN greater than
the current iclog. We don't wait on either of these cases.
Similarly, a future iclog that hasn't completed IO will have an LSN
greater than the current iclog and so we don't wait on them. A past
iclog that is still undergoing IO completion will have a LSN less
than the current iclog and those are the only iclogs that we need to
wait on.
Hence we can use the iclog LSN to determine what iclogs we need to
wait on here.

xfs: Fix a CIL UAF by getting get rid of the iclog callback lock
The iclog callback chain has it's own lock. That was added way back in 2008 by myself to alleviate severe lock contention on the icloglock in commit |
