There is a lot of cookie-cutter code that looks like:
if (shutdown)
handle buffer error
xfs_buf_iorequest(bp)
error = xfs_buf_iowait(bp)
if (error)
handle buffer error
spread through XFS. There's significant complexity now in
xfs_buf_iorequest() to specifically handle this sort of synchronous
IO pattern, but there's all sorts of nasty surprises in different
error handling code dependent on who owns the buffer references and
the locks.
Pull this pattern into a single helper, where we can hide all the
synchronous IO warts and hence make the error handling for all the
callers much saner. This removes the need for a special extra
reference to protect IO completion processing, as we can now hold a
single reference across dispatch and waiting, simplifying the sync
IO smeantics and error handling.
In doing this, also rename xfs_buf_iorequest to xfs_buf_submit and
make it explicitly handle on asynchronous IO. This forces all users
to be switched specifically to one interface or the other and
removes any ambiguity between how the interfaces are to be used. It
also means that xfs_buf_iowait() goes away.

In xlog_do_recovery_pass(), there are 2 distinct cases:
non-wrapped and wrapped log recovery.
If we find a wrapped log, we recover around the end
of the log, and then handle the rest of recovery
exactly as in the non-wrapped case - using exactly the same
(duplicated) code.
Rather than having the same code in both cases, we can
get the wrapped portion out of the way first if needed,
and then recover the non-wrapped portion of the log.
There should be no functional change here, just code
reorganization & deduplication.

XFS log recovery has been discovered to have race conditions with
buffers when I/O errors occur. External tools are available to simulate
I/O errors to XFS, but this alone is not sufficient for testing log
recovery. XFS unconditionally resets the inactive region of the log
prior to log recovery to avoid confusion over processing any partially
written log records that might have been written before an unclean
shutdown. Therefore, unconditional write I/O failures at mount time are
caught by the reset sequence rather than log recovery and hinder the
ability to test the latter.
The device-mapper dm-flakey module uses an up/down timer to define a
cycle for when to fail I/Os. Create a pre log recovery delay tunable
that can be used to coordinate XFS log recovery with I/O errors
simulated by dm-flakey. This facilitates coordination in userspace that
allows the reset of stale log blocks to succeed and writes due to log
recovery to fail. For example, define a dm-flakey instance with an
uptime long enough to allow log reset to succeed and a log recovery
delay long enough to allow the dm-flakey uptime to expire.
The 'log_recovery_delay' sysfs tunable is exported under
/sys/fs/xfs/debug and is only enabled for kernels compiled in XFS debug
mode. The value is exported in units of seconds and allows for a delay
of up to 60 seconds. Note that this is for XFS debug and test
instrumentation purposes only and should not be used by applications. No
delay is enabled by default.

dquot recovery should add verifiers to the dquot buffers that it

verifiers to the buffers in a consistent manner. For example,
xlog_recover_dquot_pass2() reads dquot buffers without a verifier
and then writes it without ever having attached a verifier to the
buffer.
Further, dquot buffer recovery may write a dquot buffer that has not
been modified, or indeed, shoul dbe written because quotas are not
enabled and hence changes to the buffer were not replayed. In this
case, we again write buffers without verifiers attached because that
doesn't happen until after the buffer changes have been replayed.

The errors were typically being seen in AGF, AGI and their related
btree block buffers some time after log recovery had run. Often it
wasn't until later subsequent mounts that the problem was
discovered. The common symptom was a buffer with the correct
contents, but a CRC and an LSN that matched an older version of the
contents.
Some debug added to _xfs_buf_ioapply() indicated that buffers were
being written without verifiers attached to them from log recovery,
and Jan Kara isolated the cause to log recovery readahead an dit's
interactions with buffers that had a more recent LSN on disk than
the transaction being recovered. In this case, the buffer did not
get a verifier attached, and os when the second phase of log
recovery ran and recovered EFIs and unlinked inodes, the buffers
were modified and written without the verifier running. Hence they
had up to date contents, but stale LSNs and CRCs.
Fix it by attaching verifiers to buffers we skip due to future LSN
values so they don't escape into the buffer cache without the
correct verifier attached.
This patch is based on analysis and a patch from Jan Kara.

After a fair number of xfstests runs, xfs/182 started to fail
regularly with a corrupted directory - a directory read verifier was
failing after recovery because it found a block with a XARM magic
number (remote attribute block) rather than a directory data block.
The first time I saw this repeated failure I did /something/ and the
problem went away, so I was never able to find the underlying
problem. Test xfs/182 failed again today, and I found the root
cause before I did /something else/ that made it go away.
Tracing indicated that the block in question was being correctly
logged, the log was being flushed by sync, but the buffer was not
being written back before the shutdown occurred. Tracing also
indicated that log recovery was also reading the block, but then
never writing it before log recovery invalidated the cache,
indicating that it was not modified by log recovery.
More detailed analysis of the corpse indicated that the filesystem
had a uuid of "a4131074-1872-4cac-9323-2229adbcb886" but the XARM
block had a uuid of "8f32f043-c3c9-e7f8-f947-4e7f989c05d3", which
indicated it was a block from an older filesystem. The reason that
log recovery didn't replay it was that the LSN in the XARM block was
larger than the LSN of the transaction being replayed, and so the
block was not overwritten by log recovery.
Hence, log recovery cant blindly trust the magic number and LSN in
the block - it must verify that it belongs to the filesystem being
recovered before using the LSN. i.e. if the UUIDs don't match, we
need to unconditionally recovery the change held in the log.
This patch was first tested on a block device that was repeatedly
causing xfs/182 to fail with the same failure on the same block with
the same directory read corruption signature (i.e. XARM block). It
did not fail, and hasn't failed since.

This is the recovery side of the btree block owner change operation
performed by swapext on CRC enabled filesystems. We detect that an
owner change is needed by the flag that has been placed on the inode
log format flag field. Because the inode recovery is being replayed
after the buffers that make up the BMBT in the given checkpoint, we
can walk all the buffers and directly modify them when we see the
flag set on an inode.
Because the inode can be relogged and hence present in multiple
chekpoints with the "change owner" flag set, we could do multiple
passes across the inode to do this change. While this isn't optimal,
we can't directly ignore the flag as there may be multiple
independent swap extent operations being replayed on the same inode
in different checkpoints so we can't ignore them.
Further, because the owner change operation uses ordered buffers, we
might have buffers that are newer on disk than the current
checkpoint and so already have the owner changed in them. Hence we
cannot just peek at a buffer in the tree and check that it has the
correct owner and assume that the change was completed.
So, for the moment just brute force the owner change every time we
see an inode with the flag set. Note that we have to be careful here
because the owner of the buffers may point to either the old owner
or the new owner. Currently the verifier can't verify the owner
directly, so there is no failure case here right now. If we verify
the owner exactly in future, then we'll have to take this into
account.
This was tested in terms of normal operation via xfstests - all of
the fsr tests now pass without failure. however, we really need to
modify xfs/227 to stress v3 inodes correctly to ensure we fully
cover this case for v5 filesystems.
In terms of recovery testing, I used a hacked version of xfs_fsr
that held the temp inode open for a few seconds before exiting so
that the filesystem could be shut down with an open owner change
recovery flags set on at least the temp inode. fsr leaves the temp
inode unlinked and in btree format, so this was necessary for the
owner change to be reliably replayed.
logprint confirmed the tmp inode in the log had the correct flag set:
INO: cnt:3 total:3 a:0x69e9e0 len:56 a:0x69ea20 len:176 a:0x69eae0 len:88
INODE: #regs:3 ino:0x44 flags:0x209 dsize:88
^^^^^
0x200 is set, indicating a data fork owner change needed to be
replayed on inode 0x44. A printk in the revoery code confirmed that
the inode change was recovered:
XFS (vdc): Mounting Filesystem
XFS (vdc): Starting recovery (logdev: internal)
recovering owner change ino 0x44
XFS (vdc): Version 5 superblock detected. This kernel L support enabled!
Use of these features in this kernel is at your own risk!

The problem is that the inode buffer has not been recovered before
the readahead on the inode buffer is issued. The checkpoint being
recovered actually allocates the inode chunk we are doing readahead
from, so what comes from disk during readahead is essentially
random and the verifier barfs on it.
This inode buffer readahead problem affects non-crc filesystems,
too, but xfstests does not trigger it at all on such

Log recovery has some strict ordering requirements which unordered
or reordered metadata writeback can defeat. This can occur when an
item is logged in a transaction, written back to disk, and then
logged in a new transaction before the tail of the log is moved past
the original modification.
The result of this is that when we read an object off disk for
recovery purposes, the buffer that we read may not contain the
object type that recovery is expecting and hence at the end of the
checkpoint being recovered we have an invalid object in memory.
This isn't usually a problem, as recovery will then replay all the
other checkpoints and that brings the object back to a valid and
correct state, but the issue is that while the object is in the
invalid state it can be flushed to disk. This results in the object
verifier failing and triggering a corruption shutdown of log
recover. This is correct behaviour for the verifiers - the problem
is that we are not detecting that the object we've read off disk is
newer than the transaction we are replaying.
All metadata in v5 filesystems has the LSN of it's last modification
stamped in it. This enabled log recover to read that field and
determine the age of the object on disk correctly. If the LSN of the
object on disk is older than the transaction being replayed, then we
replay the modification. If the LSN of the object matches or is more
recent than the transaction's LSN, then we should avoid overwriting
the object as that is what leads to the transient corrupt state.

xfstests xfs/087 fails 100% reliably with this assert:
XFS (vdb): Mounting Filesystem
XFS (vdb): Starting recovery (logdev: internal)
XFS: Assertion failed: bp->b_flags & XBF_STALE, file: fs/xfs/xfs_buf.c, line: 548
while trying to read a dquot buffer in xlog_recover_dquot_ra_pass2().
The issue is that the buffer length to read that is passed to
xfs_buf_readahead is in units of filesystem blocks, not disk blocks.
(i.e. FSB, not daddr). Fix it but putting the correct conversion in
place.

When doing readhaead in log recovery, we check to see if buffers are
cancelled before doing readahead. If we find a cancelled buffer,
however, we always decrement the reference count we have on it, and
that means that readahead is causing a double decrement of the
cancelled buffer reference count.
This results in log recovery *replaying cancelled buffers* as the
actual recovery pass does not find the cancelled buffer entry in the
commit phase of the second pass across a transaction. On debug
kernels, this results in an ASSERT failure like so:
XFS: Assertion failed: !(flags & XFS_BLF_CANCEL), file: fs/xfs/xfs_log_recover.c, line: 1815
xfstests generic/311 reproduces this ASSERT failure with 100%
reproducability.
Fix it by making readahead only peek at the buffer cancelled state
rather than the full accounting that xlog_check_buffer_cancelled()
does.

It can take a long time to run log recovery operation because it is
single threaded and is bound by read latency. We can find that it took
most of the time to wait for the read IO to occur, so if one object
readahead is introduced to log recovery, it will obviously reduce the
log recovery time.

xlog_find_tail() currently leaks a bp on one error path.
There is no error target, so manually free the bp before
returning the error.

With the new xfs_trans_res structure has been introduced, the log
reservation size, log count as well as log flags are pre-initialized
at mount time. So it's time to refine xfs_trans_reserve() interface
to be more neat.
Also, introduce a new helper M_RES() to return a pointer to the
mp->m_resv structure to simplify the input.

There are a few small helper functions in xfs_util, all related to
xfs_inode modifications. Move them all to xfs_inode.c so all
xfs_inode operations are consiolidated in the one place.
