When using the fast file fsync code path we can miss the fact that new
writes happened since the last file fsync and therefore return without
waiting for the IO to finish and write the new extents to the fsync log.
Here's an example scenario where the fsync will miss the fact that new
file data exists that wasn't yet durably persisted:
1. fs_info->last_trans_committed == N - 1 and current transaction is
transaction N (fs_info->generation == N);
2. do a buffered write;
3. fsync our inode, this clears our inode's full sync flag, starts
an ordered extent and waits for it to complete - when it completes
at btrfs_finish_ordered_io(), the inode's last_trans is set to the
value N (via btrfs_update_inode_fallback -> btrfs_update_inode ->
btrfs_set_inode_last_trans);
4. transaction N is committed, so fs_info->last_trans_committed is now
set to the value N and fs_info->generation remains with the value N;
5. do another buffered write, when this happens btrfs_file_write_iter
sets our inode's last_trans to the value N + 1 (that is
fs_info->generation + 1 == N + 1);
6. transaction N + 1 is started and fs_info->generation now has the
value N + 1;
7. transaction N + 1 is committed, so fs_info->last_trans_committed
is set to the value N + 1;
8. fsync our inode - because it doesn't have the full sync flag set,
we only start the ordered extent, we don't wait for it to complete
(only in a later phase) therefore its last_trans field has the
value N + 1 set previously by btrfs_file_write_iter(), and so we
have:
inode->last_trans <= fs_info->last_trans_committed
(N + 1) (N + 1)
Which made us not log the last buffered write and exit the fsync
handler immediately, returning success (0) to user space and resulting
in data loss after a crash.
This can actually be triggered deterministically and the following excerpt
from a testcase I made for xfstests triggers the issue. It moves a dummy
file across directories and then fsyncs the old parent directory - this
is just to trigger a transaction commit, so moving files around isn't
directly related to the issue but it was chosen because running 'sync' for
example does more than just committing the current transaction, as it
flushes/waits for all file data to be persisted. The issue can also happen
at random periods, since the transaction kthread periodicaly commits the
current transaction (about every 30 seconds by default).
The body of the test is:
_scratch_mkfs >> $seqres.full 2>&1
_init_flakey
_mount_flakey
# Create our main test file 'foo', the one we check for data loss.
# By doing an fsync against our file, it makes btrfs clear the 'needs_full_sync'
# bit from its flags (btrfs inode specific flags).
$XFS_IO_PROG -f -c "pwrite -S 0xaa 0 8K" \
-c "fsync" $SCRATCH_MNT/foo | _filter_xfs_io
# Now create one other file and 2 directories. We will move this second file
# from one directory to the other later because it forces btrfs to commit its
# currently open transaction if we fsync the old parent directory. This is
# necessary to trigger the data loss bug that affected btrfs.
mkdir $SCRATCH_MNT/testdir_1
touch $SCRATCH_MNT/testdir_1/bar
mkdir $SCRATCH_MNT/testdir_2
# Make sure everything is durably persisted.
sync
# Write more 8Kb of data to our file.
$XFS_IO_PROG -c "pwrite -S 0xbb 8K 8K" $SCRATCH_MNT/foo | _filter_xfs_io
# Move our 'bar' file into a new directory.
mv $SCRATCH_MNT/testdir_1/bar $SCRATCH_MNT/testdir_2/bar
# Fsync our first directory. Because it had a file moved into some other
# directory, this made btrfs commit the currently open transaction. This is
# a condition necessary to trigger the data loss bug.
$XFS_IO_PROG -c "fsync" $SCRATCH_MNT/testdir_1
# Now fsync our main test file. If the fsync succeeds, we expect the 8Kb of
# data we wrote previously to be persisted and available if a crash happens.
# This did not happen with btrfs, because of the transaction commit that
# happened when we fsynced the parent directory.
$XFS_IO_PROG -c "fsync" $SCRATCH_MNT/foo
# Simulate a crash/power loss.
_load_flakey_table $FLAKEY_DROP_WRITES
_unmount_flakey
_load_flakey_table $FLAKEY_ALLOW_WRITES
_mount_flakey
# Now check that all data we wrote before are available.
echo "File content after log replay:"
od -t x1 $SCRATCH_MNT/foo
status=0
exit
The expected golden output for the test, which is what we get with this
fix applied (or when running against ext3/4 and xfs), is:
wrote 8192/8192 bytes at offset 0
XXX Bytes, X ops; XX:XX:XX.X (XXX YYY/sec and XXX ops/sec)
wrote 8192/8192 bytes at offset 8192
XXX Bytes, X ops; XX:XX:XX.X (XXX YYY/sec and XXX ops/sec)
