xfs: pin inode backing buffer to the inode log item When we dirty an inode, we are going to have to write it disk at some point in the near future. This requires the inode cluster backing buffer to be present in memory. Unfortunately, under severe memory pressure we can reclaim the inode backing buffer while the inode is dirty in memory, resulting in stalling the AIL pushing because it has to do a read-modify-write cycle on the cluster buffer. When we have no memory available, the read of the cluster buffer blocks the AIL pushing process, and this causes all sorts of issues for memory reclaim as it requires inode writeback to make forwards progress. Allocating a cluster buffer causes more memory pressure, and results in more cluster buffers to be reclaimed, resulting in more RMW cycles to be done in the AIL context and everything then backs up on AIL progress. Only the synchronous inode cluster writeback in the the inode reclaim code provides some level of forwards progress guarantees that prevent OOM-killer rampages in this situation. Fix this by pinning the inode backing buffer to the inode log item when the inode is first dirtied (i.e. in xfs_trans_log_inode()). This may mean the first modification of an inode that has been held in cache for a long time may block on a cluster buffer read, but we can do that in transaction context and block safely until the buffer has been allocated and read. Once we have the cluster buffer, the inode log item takes a reference to it, pinning it in memory, and attaches it to the log item for future reference. This means we can always grab the cluster buffer from the inode log item when we need it. When the inode is finally cleaned and removed from the AIL, we can drop the reference the inode log item holds on the cluster buffer. Once all inodes on the cluster buffer are clean, the cluster buffer will be unpinned and it will be available for memory reclaim to reclaim again. This avoids the issues with needing to do RMW cycles in the AIL pushing context, and hence allows complete non-blocking inode flushing to be performed by the AIL pushing context.

xfs: Don't allow logging of XFS_ISTALE inodes In tracking down a problem in this patchset, I discovered we are reclaiming dirty stale inodes. This wasn't discovered until inodes were always attached to the cluster buffer and then the rcu callback that freed inodes was assert failing because the inode still had an active pointer to the cluster buffer after it had been reclaimed. Debugging the issue indicated that this was a pre-existing issue resulting from the way the inodes are handled in xfs_inactive_ifree. When we free a cluster buffer from xfs_ifree_cluster, all the inodes in cache are marked XFS_ISTALE. Those that are clean have nothing else done to them and so eventually get cleaned up by background reclaim. i.e. it is assumed we'll never dirty/relog an inode marked XFS_ISTALE. On journal commit dirty stale inodes as are handled by both buffer and inode log items to run though xfs_istale_done() and removed from the AIL (buffer log item commit) or the log item will simply unpin it because the buffer log item will clean it. What happens to any specific inode is entirely dependent on which log item wins the commit race, but the result is the same - stale inodes are clean, not attached to the cluster buffer, and not in the AIL. Hence inode reclaim can just free these inodes without further care. However, if the stale inode is relogged, it gets dirtied again and relogged into the CIL. Most of the time this isn't an issue, because relogging simply changes the inode's location in the current checkpoint. Problems arise, however, when the CIL checkpoints between two transactions in the xfs_inactive_ifree() deferops processing. This results in the XFS_ISTALE inode being redirtied and inserted into the CIL without any of the other stale cluster buffer infrastructure being in place. Hence on journal commit, it simply gets unpinned, so it remains dirty in memory. Everything in inode writeback avoids XFS_ISTALE inodes so it can't be written back, and it is not tracked in the AIL so there's not even a trigger to attempt to clean the inode. Hence the inode just sits dirty in memory until inode reclaim comes along, sees that it is XFS_ISTALE, and goes to reclaim it. This reclaiming of a dirty inode caused use after free, list corruptions and other nasty issues later in this patchset. Hence this patch addresses a violation of the "never log XFS_ISTALE inodes" caused by the deferops processing rolling a transaction and relogging a stale inode in xfs_inactive_free. It also adds a bunch of asserts to catch this problem in debug kernels so that we don't reintroduce this problem in future. Reproducer for this issue was generic/558 on a v4 filesystem.

xfs: add an inode item lock The inode log item is kind of special in that it can be aggregating new changes in memory at the same time time existing changes are being written back to disk. This means there are fields in the log item that are accessed concurrently from contexts that don't share any locking at all. e.g. updating ili_last_fields occurs at flush time under the ILOCK_EXCL and flush lock at flush time, under the flush lock at IO completion time, and is read under the ILOCK_EXCL when the inode is logged. Hence there is no actual serialisation between reading the field during logging of the inode in transactions vs clearing the field in IO completion. We currently get away with this by the fact that we are only clearing fields in IO completion, and nothing bad happens if we accidentally log more of the inode than we actually modify. Worst case is we consume a tiny bit more memory and log bandwidth. However, if we want to do more complex state manipulations on the log item that requires updates at all three of these potential locations, we need to have some mechanism of serialising those operations. To do this, introduce a spinlock into the log item to serialise internal state. This could be done via the xfs_inode i_flags_lock, but this then leads to potential lock inversion issues where inode flag updates need to occur inside locks that best nest inside the inode log item locks (e.g. marking inodes stale during inode cluster freeing). Using a separate spinlock avoids these sorts of problems and simplifies future code. This does not touch the use of ili_fields in the item formatting code - that is entirely protected by the ILOCK_EXCL at this point in time, so it remains untouched.

xfs: pin inode backing buffer to the inode log item When we dirty an inode, we are going to have to write it disk at some point in the near future. This requires the inode cluster backing buffer to be present in memory. Unfortunately, under severe memory pressure we can reclaim the inode backing buffer while the inode is dirty in memory, resulting in stalling the AIL pushing because it has to do a read-modify-write cycle on the cluster buffer. When we have no memory available, the read of the cluster buffer blocks the AIL pushing process, and this causes all sorts of issues for memory reclaim as it requires inode writeback to make forwards progress. Allocating a cluster buffer causes more memory pressure, and results in more cluster buffers to be reclaimed, resulting in more RMW cycles to be done in the AIL context and everything then backs up on AIL progress. Only the synchronous inode cluster writeback in the the inode reclaim code provides some level of forwards progress guarantees that prevent OOM-killer rampages in this situation. Fix this by pinning the inode backing buffer to the inode log item when the inode is first dirtied (i.e. in xfs_trans_log_inode()). This may mean the first modification of an inode that has been held in cache for a long time may block on a cluster buffer read, but we can do that in transaction context and block safely until the buffer has been allocated and read. Once we have the cluster buffer, the inode log item takes a reference to it, pinning it in memory, and attaches it to the log item for future reference.

xfs: pin inode backing buffer to the inode log item When we dirty an inode, we are going to have to write it disk at some point in the near future. This requires the inode cluster backing buffer to be present in memory. Unfortunately, under severe memory pressure we can reclaim the inode backing buffer while the inode is dirty in memory, resulting in stalling the AIL pushing because it has to do a read-modify-write cycle on the cluster buffer. When we have no memory available, the read of the cluster buffer blocks the AIL pushing process, and this causes all sorts of issues for memory reclaim as it requires inode writeback to make forwards progress. Allocating a cluster buffer causes more memory pressure, and results in more cluster buffers to be reclaimed, resulting in more RMW cycles to be done in the AIL context and everything then backs up on AIL progress. Only the synchronous inode cluster writeback in the the inode reclaim code provides some level of forwards progress guarantees that prevent OOM-killer rampages in this situation. Fix this by pinning the inode backing buffer to the inode log item when the inode is first dirtied (i.e. in xfs_trans_log_inode()). This may mean the first modification of an inode that has been held in cache for a long time may block on a cluster buffer read, but we can do that in transaction context and block safely until the buffer has been allocated and read. Once we have the cluster buffer, the inode log item takes a reference to it, pinning it in memory, and attaches it to the log item for future reference. This means we can always grab the cluster buffer from the inode log item when we need it. When the inode is finally cleaned and removed from the AIL, we can drop the reference the inode log item holds on the cluster buffer.

xfs: add an inode item lock The inode log item is kind of special in that it can be aggregating new changes in memory at the same time time existing changes are being written back to disk. This means there are fields in the log item that are accessed concurrently from contexts that don't share any locking at all. e.g. updating ili_last_fields occurs at flush time under the ILOCK_EXCL and flush lock at flush time, under the flush lock at IO completion time, and is read under the ILOCK_EXCL when the inode is logged. Hence there is no actual serialisation between reading the field during logging of the inode in transactions vs clearing the field in IO completion. We currently get away with this by the fact that we are only clearing fields in IO completion, and nothing bad happens if we accidentally log more of the inode than we actually modify. Worst case is we consume a tiny bit more memory and log bandwidth. However, if we want to do more complex state manipulations on the log item that requires updates at all three of these potential locations, we need to have some mechanism of serialising those operations. To do this, introduce a spinlock into the log item to serialise internal state. This could be done via the xfs_inode i_flags_lock, but this then leads to potential lock inversion issues where inode flag updates need to occur inside locks that best nest inside the inode log item locks (e.g. marking inodes stale during inode cluster freeing). Using a separate spinlock avoids these sorts of problems and simplifies future code. This does not touch the use of ili_fields in the item formatting code - that is entirely protected by the ILOCK_EXCL at this point in time, so it remains untouched.
