There's a three-process deadlock involving shared/exclusive barriers
and inverted lock orders in the directory readdir implementation.
It's a pre-existing problem with lock ordering, exposed by the
VFS parallelisation code.
process 1 process 2 process 3
--------- --------- ---------
readdir
iolock(shared)
get_leaf_dents
iterate entries
ilock(shared)
map, lock and read buffer
iunlock(shared)
process entries in buffer
.....
readdir
iolock(shared)
get_leaf_dents
iterate entries
ilock(shared)
map, lock buffer
<blocks>
finish ->iterate_shared
file_accessed()
->update_time
start transaction
ilock(excl)
<blocks>
.....
finishes processing buffer
get next buffer
ilock(shared)
<blocks>
And that's the deadlock.
Fix this by dropping the current buffer lock in process 1 before
trying to map the next buffer. This means we keep the lock order of
ilock -> buffer lock intact and hence will allow process 3 to make
progress and drop it's ilock(shared) once it is done.

The recent change to the readdir locking made in 40194ec ("xfs:
reinstate the ilock in xfs_readdir") for CXFS directory sanity was
probably the wrong thing to do. Deep in the readdir code we
can take page faults in the filldir callback, and so taking a page
fault while holding an inode ilock creates a new set of locking
issues that lockdep warns all over the place about.
The locking order for regular inodes w.r.t. page faults is io_lock
-> pagefault -> mmap_sem -> ilock. The directory readdir code now
triggers ilock -> page fault -> mmap_sem. While we cannot deadlock
at this point, it inverts all the locking patterns that lockdep
normally sees on XFS inodes, and so triggers lockdep. We worked
around this with commit 93a8614 ("xfs: fix directory inode iolock
lockdep false positive"), but that then just moved the lockdep
warning to deeper in the page fault path and triggered on security
inode locks. Fixing the shmem issue there just moved the lockdep
reports somewhere else, and now we are getting false positives from
filesystem freezing annotations getting confused.
Further, if we enter memory reclaim in a readdir path, we now get
lockdep warning about potential deadlocks because the ilock is held
when we enter reclaim. This, again, is different to a regular file
in that we never allow memory reclaim to run while holding the ilock
for regular files. Hence lockdep now throws
ilock->kmalloc->reclaim->ilock warnings.
Basically, the problem is that the ilock is being used to protect
the directory data and the inode metadata, whereas for a regular
file the iolock protects the data and the ilock protects the
metadata. From the VFS perspective, the i_mutex serialises all
accesses to the directory data, and so not holding the ilock for
readdir doesn't matter. The issue is that CXFS doesn't access
directory data via the VFS, so it has no "data serialisaton"
mechanism. Hence we need to hold the IOLOCK in the correct places to
provide this low level directory data access serialisation.
The ilock can then be used just when the extent list needs to be
read, just like we do for regular files. The directory modification
code can take the iolock exclusive when the ilock is also taken,
and this then ensures that readdir is correct excluded while
modifications are in progress.

There are many places in the directory code were we don't pass the
args into and so have to extract the geometry direct from the mount
structure. Push the args or the geometry into these leaf functions
so that we don't need to grab it from the struct xfs_mount.
This, in turn, brings use to the point where directory geometry is
no longer a property of the struct xfs_mount; it is not a global
property anymore, and hence we can start to consider per-directory
configuration of physical geometries.
Start by converting the xfs_dir_isblock/leaf code - pass in the
xfs_da_args and convert the readdir code to use xfs_da_args like

Directory readahead can throw loud scary but harmless warnings
when multiblock directories are in use a specific pattern of
discontiguous blocks are found in the directory. That is, if a hole
follows a discontiguous block, it will throw a warning like:
XFS (dm-1): xfs_da_do_buf: bno 637 dir: inode 34363923462
XFS (dm-1): [00] br_startoff 637 br_startblock 1917954575 br_blockcount 1 br_state 0
XFS (dm-1): [01] br_startoff 638 br_startblock -2 br_blockcount 1 br_state 0
And dump a stack trace.
This is because the readahead offset increment loop does a double
increment of the block index - it does an increment for the loop
iteration as well as increase the loop counter by the number of
blocks in the extent. As a result, the readahead offset does not get
incremented correctly for discontiguous blocks and hence can ask for
readahead of a directory block from an offset part way through a
directory block. If that directory block is followed by a hole, it
will trigger a mapping warning like the above.
The bad readahead will be ignored, though, because the main
directory block read loop uses the correct mapping offsets rather
than the readahead offset and so will ignore the bad readahead
altogether.
Fix the warning by ensuring that the readahead offset is correctly
incremented.

Lots of the dir code now goes through switches to determine what is
the correct on-disk format to parse. It generally involves a
"xfs_sbversion_hasfoo" check, deferencing the superblock version and
feature fields and hence touching several cache lines per operation
in the process. Some operations do multiple checks because they nest
conditional operations and they don't pass the information in a
direct fashion between each other.
Hence, add an ops vector to the xfs_inode structure that is
configured when the inode is initialised to point to all the correct
decode and encoding operations. This will significantly reduce the
branchiness and cacheline footprint of the directory object decoding
and encoding.
This is the first patch in a series of conversion patches. It will
introduce the ops structure, the setup of it and add the first
operation to the vector. Subsequent patches will convert directory
ops one at a time to keep the changes simple and obvious.
Just this patch shows the benefit of such an approach on code size.
Just converting the two shortform dir operations as this patch does
decreases the built binary size by ~1500 bytes:
$ size fs/xfs/xfs.o.orig fs/xfs/xfs.o.p1
text data bss dec hex filename
794490 96802 1096 892388 d9de4 fs/xfs/xfs.o.orig
792986 96802 1096 890884 d9804 fs/xfs/xfs.o.p1
$
That's a significant decrease in the instruction cache footprint of
the directory code for such a simple change, and indicates that this
approach is definitely worth pursuing further.

The determination of whether a directory entry contains a dtype
field originally was dependent on the filesystem having CRCs
enabled. This meant that the format for dtype beign enabled could be
determined by checking the directory block magic number rather than
doing a feature bit check. This was useful in that it meant that we
didn't need to pass a struct xfs_mount around to functions that
were already supplied with a directory block header.
Unfortunately, the introduction of dtype fields into the v4
structure via a feature bit meant this "use the directory block
magic number" method of discriminating the dirent entry sizes is
broken. Hence we need to convert the places that use magic number
checks to use feature bit checks so that they work correctly and not
by chance.
The current code works on v4 filesystems only because the dirent
size roundup covers the extra byte needed by the dtype field in the
places where this problem occurs.

Add support for the file type field in directory entries so that
readdir can return the type of the inode the dirent points to to
userspace without first having to read the inode off disk.
The encoding of the type field is a single byte that is added to the
end of the directory entry name length. For all intents and
purposes, it appends a "hidden" byte to the name field which
contains the type information. As the directory entry is already of
dynamic size, helpers are already required to access and decode the
direct entry structures.
Hence the relevent extraction and iteration helpers are updated to
understand the hidden byte. Helpers for reading and writing the
filetype field from the directory entries are also added. Only the
read helpers are used by this patch. It also adds all the code
necessary to read the type information out of the dirents on disk.
Further we add the superblock feature bit and helpers to indicate
that we understand the on-disk format change. This is not a
compatible change - existing kernels cannot read the new format
successfully - so an incompatible feature flag is added. We don't
yet allow filesystems to mount with this flag yet - that will be
added once write support is added.
Finally, the code to take the type from the VFS, convert it to an
XFS on-disk type and put it into the xfs_name structures passed
around is added, but the directory code does not use this field yet.
That will be in the next patch.
