FSX on 512 byte block size filesystems has been failing for some
time with corrupted data. The fault dates back to the change in
the writeback data integrity algorithm that uses a mark-and-sweep
approach to avoid data writeback livelocks.
Unfortunately, a side effect of this mark-and-sweep approach is that
each page will only be written once for a data integrity sync, and
there is a condition in writeback in XFS where a page may require
two writeback attempts to be fully written. As a result of the high
level change, we now only get a partial page writeback during the
integrity sync because the first pass through writeback clears the
mark left on the page index to tell writeback that the page needs
writeback....
The cause is writing a partial page in the clustering code. This can
happen when a mapping boundary falls in the middle of a page - we
end up writing back the first part of the page that the mapping
covers, but then never revisit the page to have the remainder mapped
and written.
The fix is simple - if the mapping boundary falls inside a page,
then simple abort clustering without touching the page. This means
that the next ->writepage entry that write_cache_pages() will make
is the page we aborted on, and xfs_vm_writepage() will map all
sections of the page correctly. This behaviour is also optimal for
non-data integrity writes, as it results in contiguous sequential
writeback of the file rather than missing small holes and having to
write them a "random" writes in a future pass.
With this fix, all the fsx tests in xfstests now pass on a 512 byte
block size filesystem on a 4k page machine.

Currently there is no way to truncate partial page where the end
truncate point is not at the end of the page. This is because it was not
needed and the functionality was enough for file system truncate
operation to work properly. However more file systems now support punch
hole feature and it can benefit from mm supporting truncating page just
up to the certain point.
Specifically, with this functionality truncate_inode_pages_range() can
be changed so it supports truncating partial page at the end of the
range (currently it will BUG_ON() if 'end' is not at the end of the
page).
This commit changes the invalidatepage() address space operation
prototype to accept range to be invalidated and update all the instances
for it.
We also change the block_invalidatepage() in the same way and actually
make a use of the new length argument implementing range invalidation.
Actual file system implementations will follow except the file systems
where the changes are really simple and should not change the behaviour
in any way .Implementation for truncate_page_range() which will be able
to accept page unaligned ranges will follow as well.

When a dirty page is truncated from a file but reclaim gets to it before
truncate_inode_pages(), we hit WARN_ON(delalloc) in
xfs_vm_releasepage(). This is because reclaim tries to write the page,
xfs_vm_writepage() just bails out (leaving page clean) and thus reclaim
thinks it can continue and calls xfs_vm_releasepage() on page with dirty
buffers.
Fix the issue by redirtying the page in xfs_vm_writepage(). This makes
reclaim stop reclaiming the page and also logically it keeps page in a
more consistent state where page with dirty buffers has PageDirty set.

The direct IO path can do a nested transaction reservation when
writing past the EOF. The first transaction is the append
transaction for setting the filesize at IO completion, but we can
also need a transaction for allocation of blocks. If the log is low
on space due to reservations and small log, the append transaction
can be granted after wating for space as the only active transaction
in the system. This then attempts a reservation for an allocation,
which there isn't space in the log for, and the reservation sleeps.
The result is that there is nothing left in the system to wake up
all the processes waiting for log space to come free.
The stack trace that shows this deadlock is relatively innocuous:
xlog_grant_head_wait
xlog_grant_head_check
xfs_log_reserve
xfs_trans_reserve
xfs_iomap_write_direct
__xfs_get_blocks
xfs_get_blocks_direct

__blockdev_direct_IO
xfs_vm_direct_IO
generic_file_direct_write
xfs_file_dio_aio_writ
xfs_file_aio_write
do_sync_write
vfs_write
This was discovered on a filesystem with a log of only 10MB, and a
log stripe unit of 256k whih increased the base reservations by
512k. Hence a allocation transaction requires 1.2MB of log space to
be available instead of only 260k, and so greatly increased the
chance that there wouldn't be enough log space available for the
nested transaction to succeed. The key to reproducing it is this
mkfs command:
mkfs.xfs -f -d agcount=16,su=256k,sw=12 -l su=256k,size=2560b $SCRATCH_DEV
The test case was a 1000 fsstress processes running with random

When we shut down the filesystem, it might first be detected in
writeback when we are allocating a inode size transaction. This
happens after we have moved all the pages into the writeback state
and unlocked them. Unfortunately, if we fail to set up the
transaction we then abort writeback and try to invalidate the
current page. This then triggers are BUG() in block_invalidatepage()
because we are trying to invalidate an unlocked page.
Fixing this is a bit of a chicken and egg problem - we can't
allocate the transaction until we've clustered all the pages into
the IO and we know the size of it (i.e. whether the last block of
the IO is beyond the current EOF or not). However, we don't want to
hold pages locked for long periods of time, especially while we lock
other pages to cluster them into the write.
To fix this, we need to make a clear delineation in writeback where
errors can only be handled by IO completion processing. That is,
once we have marked a page for writeback and unlocked it, we have to
report errors via IO completion because we've already started the
IO. We may not have submitted any IO, but we've changed the page
state to indicate that it is under IO so we must now use the IO
completion path to report errors.
To do this, add an error field to xfs_submit_ioend() to pass it the
error that occurred during the building on the ioend chain. When
this is non-zero, mark each ioend with the error and call
xfs_finish_ioend() directly rather than building bios. This will
immediately push the ioends through completion processing with the
error that has occurred.

Fix this by setting iomap_valid = 0 when we find a buffer that is not

ioend as buffers 1 and 2. Later these blocks will be converted into two
separate real extents, leaving the blocks in between unwritten.

xfstest 229 exposes a problem with buffered IO, delayed allocation
and extent size hints. That is when we do delayed allocation during
buffered IO, we reserve space for the extent size hint alignment and
allocate the physical space to align the extent, but we do not zero
the regions of the extent that aren't written by the write(2)
syscall. The result is that we expose stale data in unwritten
regions of the extent size hints.
There are two ways to fix this. The first is to detect that we are
doing unaligned writes, check if there is already a mapping or data
over the extent size hint range, and if not zero the page cache
first before then doing the real write. This can be very expensive
for large extent size hints, especially if the subsequent writes
fill then entire extent size before the data is written to disk.
The second, and simpler way, is simply to turn off delayed
allocation when the extent size hint is set and use preallocation
instead. This results in unwritten extents being laid down on disk
and so only the written portions will be converted. This matches the
behaviour for direct IO, and will also work for the real time
device. The disadvantage of this approach is that for small extent
size hints we can get file fragmentation, but in general extent size
hints are fairly large (e.g. stripe width sized) so this isn't a big
deal.
Implement the second approach as it is simple and effective.

When a partial write inside EOF fails, it can leave delayed
allocation blocks lying around because they don't get punched back
out. This leads to assert failures like:
XFS: Assertion failed: XFS_FORCED_SHUTDOWN(ip->i_mount) || ip->i_delayed_blks == 0, file: fs/xfs/xfs_super.c, line: 847
when evicting inodes from the cache. This can be trivially triggered
by xfstests 083, which takes between 5 and 15 executions on a 512
byte block size filesystem to trip over this. Debugging shows a
failed write due to ENOSPC calling xfs_vm_write_failed such as:
[ 5012.329024] ino 0xa0026: vwf to 0x17000, sze 0x1c85ae
and no action is taken on it. This leaves behind a delayed
allocation extent that has no page covering it and no data in it:
[ 5015.867162] ino 0xa0026: blks: 0x83 delay blocks 0x1, size 0x2538c0
[ 5015.868293] ext 0: off 0x4a, fsb 0x50306, len 0x1
[ 5015.869095] ext 1: off 0x4b, fsb 0x7899, len 0x6b
[ 5015.869900] ext 2: off 0xb6, fsb 0xffffffffe0008, len 0x1
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
[ 5015.871027] ext 3: off 0x36e, fsb 0x7a27, len 0xd
[ 5015.872206] ext 4: off 0x4cf, fsb 0x7a1d, len 0xa
So the delayed allocation extent is one block long at offset
0x16c00. Tracing shows that a bigger write:
xfs_file_buffered_write: size 0x1c85ae offset 0x959d count 0x1ca3f ioflags
allocates the block, and then fails with ENOSPC trying to allocate
the last block on the page, leading to a failed write with stale
delalloc blocks on it.
Because we've had an ENOSPC when trying to allocate 0x16e00, it
means that we are never goinge to call ->write_end on the page and
so the allocated new buffer will not get marked dirty or have the
buffer_new state cleared. In other works, what the above write is
supposed to end up with is this mapping for the page:
+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+
UMA UMA UMA UMA UMA UMA UND FAIL
where: U = uptodate
M = mapped
N = new
A = allocated
D = delalloc
FAIL = block we ENOSPC'd on.
and the key point being the buffer_new() state for the newly
allocated delayed allocation block. Except it doesn't - we're not
marking buffers new correctly.
That buffer_new() problem goes back to the xfs_iomap removal days,
where xfs_iomap() used to return a "new" status for any map with
newly allocated blocks, so that __xfs_get_blocks() could call
set_buffer_new() on it. We still have the "new" variable and the
check for it in the set_buffer_new() logic - except we never set it
now!
Hence that newly allocated delalloc block doesn't have the new flag
set on it, so when the write fails we cannot tell which blocks we
are supposed to punch out. WHy do we need the buffer_new flag? Well,
that's because we can have this case:
+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+
UMD UMD UMD UMD UMD UMD UND FAIL
where all the UMD buffers contain valid data from a previously
successful write() system call. We only want to punch the UND buffer
because that's the only one that we added in this write and it was
only this write that failed.
That implies that even the old buffer_new() logic was wrong -
because it would result in all those UMD buffers on the page having
set_buffer_new() called on them even though they aren't new. Hence
we shoul donly be calling set_buffer_new() for delalloc buffers that
were allocated (i.e. were a hole before xfs_iomap_write_delay() was
called).
So, fix this set_buffer_new logic according to how we need it to
work for handling failed writes correctly. Also, restore the new
buffer logic handling for blocks allocated via
xfs_iomap_write_direct(), because it should still set the buffer_new
flag appropriately for newly allocated blocks, too.
SO, now we have the buffer_new() being set appropriately in
__xfs_get_blocks(), we can detect the exact delalloc ranges that
we allocated in a failed write, and hence can now do a walk of the
buffers on a page to find them.
Except, it's not that easy. When block_write_begin() fails, it
unlocks and releases the page that we just had an error on, so we
can't use that page to handle errors anymore. We have to get access
to the page while it is still locked to walk the buffers. Hence we
have to open code block_write_begin() in xfs_vm_write_begin() to be
able to insert xfs_vm_write_failed() is the right place.
With that, we can pass the page and write range to
xfs_vm_write_failed() and walk the buffers on the page, looking for
delalloc buffers that are either new or beyond EOF and punch them
out. Handling buffers beyond EOF ensures we still handle the
existing case that xfs_vm_write_failed() handles.
Of special note is the truncate_pagecache() handling - that only
should be done for pages outside EOF - pages within EOF can still
contain valid, dirty data so we must not punch them out of the
cache.
That just leaves the xfs_vm_write_end() failure handling.
The only failure case here is that we didn't copy the entire range,
and generic_write_end() handles that by zeroing the region of the
page that wasn't copied, we don't have to punch out blocks within
the file because they are guaranteed to contain zeros. Hence we only
have to handle the existing "beyond EOF" case and don't need access
to the buffers on the page. Hence it remains largely unchanged.
Note that xfs_getbmap() can still trip over delalloc blocks beyond
EOF that are left there by speculative delayed allocation. Hence
this bug fix does not solve all known issues with bmap vs delalloc,
but it does fix all the the known accidental occurances of the
problem.

xfs_is_delayed_page() checks to see if a page has buffers matching
the given IO type passed in. It does so by walking the buffer heads
on the page and checking if the state flags match the IO type.
However, the "acceptable" variable that is calculated is overwritten
every time a new buffer is checked. Hence if the first buffer on the
page is of the right type, this state is lost if the second buffer
is not of the correct type. This means that xfs_aops_discard_page()
may not discard delalloc regions when it is supposed to, and
xfs_convert_page() may not cluster IO as efficiently as possible.
This problem only occurs on filesystems with a block size smaller
than page size.
Also, rename xfs_is_delayed_page() to xfs_check_page_type() to
better describe what it is doing - it is not delalloc specific
anymore.
The problem was first noticed by Peter Watkins.

I've been seeing regular ASSERT failures in xfstests when running
fsstress based tests over the past month. xfs_getbmap() has been
failing this test:
XFS: Assertion failed: ((iflags & BMV_IF_DELALLOC) != 0) ||
(map[i].br_startblock != DELAYSTARTBLOCK), file: fs/xfs/xfs_bmap.c,
line: 5650
where it is encountering a delayed allocation extent after writing
all the dirty data to disk and then walking the extent map
atomically by holding the XFS_IOLOCK_SHARED to prevent new delayed
allocation extents from being created.
Test 083 on a 512 byte block size filesystem was used to reproduce
the problem, because it only had a 5s run timeand would usually fail
every 3-4 runs. This test is exercising ENOSPC behaviour by running
fsstress on a nearly full filesystem. The following trace extract
shows the final few events on the inode that tripped the assert:
xfs_ilock: flags ILOCK_EXCL caller xfs_setfilesize

And succeeding on retry after flushing dirty inodes.

And failing the retry, giving a real ENOSPC error.
xfs_ilock: flags ILOCK_EXCL caller xfs_vm_write_failed
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The smoking gun - the write being failed and cleaning up delalloc
blocks beyond EOF allocated by the failed write.
xfs_getattr:
xfs_ilock: flags IOLOCK_SHARED caller xfs_getbmap
xfs_ilock: flags ILOCK_SHARED caller xfs_ilock_map_shared
And that's where we died almost immediately afterwards.
xfs_bmapi_read() found delalloc extent beyond current file in memory
file size. Some debug I added to xfs_getbmap() showed the state just
before the assert failure:
ino 0x80e48: off 0xc00, fsb 0xffffffffffffffff, len 0x1, size 0x180000
start_fsb 0x106, end_fsb 0x638
ino flags 0x2 nex 0xd bmvcnt 0x555, len 0x3c58a6f23c0bf1, start 0xc00
ext 0: off 0x1fc, fsb 0x24782, len 0x254
ext 1: off 0x450, fsb 0x40851, len 0x30
ext 2: off 0x480, fsb 0xd99, len 0x1b8
ext 3: off 0x92f, fsb 0x4099a, len 0x3b
ext 4: off 0x96d, fsb 0x41844, len 0x98
ext 5: off 0xbf1, fsb 0x408ab, len 0xf
which shows that we found a single delalloc block beyond EOF (first
line of output) when we were returning the map for a length
somewhere around 10^16 bytes long (second line), and the on-disk
extents showed they didn't go past EOF (last lines).
Further debug added to xfs_vm_write_failed() showed this happened
when punching out delalloc blocks beyond the end of the file after
the failed write:
[ 132.606693] ino 0x80e48: vwf to 0x181000, sze 0x180000
[ 132.609573] start_fsb 0xc01, end_fsb 0xc08
It punched the range 0xc01 -> 0xc08, but the range we really need to
punch is 0xc00 -> 0xc07 (8 blocks from 0xc00) as this testing was
run on a 512 byte block size filesystem (8 blocks per page).
the punch from is 0xc00. So end_fsb is correct, but start_fsb is
wrong as we punch from start_fsb for (end_fsb - start_fsb) blocks.
Hence we are not punching the delalloc block beyond EOF in the case.
The fix is simple - it's a silly off-by-one mistake in calculating
the range. It's especially silly because the macro used to calculate
the start_fsb already takes into account the case where the inode
size is an exact multiple of the filesystem block size...

For the direct IO write path, we only really need the ilock to be taken in
exclusive mode during IO submission if we need to do extent allocation
instead of all the time.
Change the block mapping code to take the ilock in shared mode for the
initial block mapping, and only retake it exclusively when we actually
have to perform extent allocations. We were already dropping the ilock
for the transaction allocation, so this doesn't introduce new race windows.

The new concurrency managed workqueues are cheap enough that we can create
per-filesystem instead of global workqueues. This allows us to remove the
trylock or defer scheme on the ilock, which is not helpful once we have
outstanding log reservations until finishing a size update.
Also allow the default concurrency on this workqueues so that I/O completions
blocking on the ilock for one inode do not block process for another inode.

Now that we use the VFS i_size field throughout XFS there is no need for the
i_new_size field any more given that the VFS i_size field gets updated
in ->write_end before unlocking the page, and thus is always uptodate when
writeback could see a page. Removing i_new_size also has the advantage that
we will never have to trim back di_size during a failed buffered write,
given that it never gets updated past i_size.
Note that currently the generic direct I/O code only updates i_size after
calling our end_io handler, which requires a small workaround to make
sure di_size actually makes it to disk. I hope to fix this properly in
the generic code.
A downside is that we lose the support for parallel non-overlapping O_DIRECT
appending writes that recently was added. I don't think keeping the complex
and fragile i_new_size infrastructure for this is a good tradeoff - if we
really care about parallel appending writers we should investigate turning
the iolock into a range lock, which would also allow for parallel
non-overlapping buffered writers.

There is no fundamental need to keep an in-memory inode size copy in the XFS
inode. We already have the on-disk value in the dinode, and the separate
in-memory copy that we need for regular files only in the XFS inode.
Remove the xfs_inode i_size field and change the XFS_ISIZE macro to use the
VFS inode i_size field for regular files. Switch code that was directly
accessing the i_size field in the xfs_inode to XFS_ISIZE, or in cases where
we are limited to regular files direct access of the VFS inode i_size field.
This also allows dropping some fairly complicated code in the write path
which dealt with keeping the xfs_inode i_size uptodate with the VFS i_size
that is getting updated inside ->write_end.
Note that we do not bother resetting the VFS i_size when truncating a file
that gets freed to zero as there is no point in doing so because the VFS inode
is no longer in use at this point. Just relax the assert in xfs_ifree to
only check the on-disk size instead.

xfs_bmapi() currently handles both extent map reading and
allocation. As a result, the code is littered with "if (wr)"
branches to conditionally do allocation operations if required.
This makes the code much harder to follow and causes significant
indent issues with the code.
Given that read mapping is much simpler than allocation, we can
split out read mapping from xfs_bmapi() and reuse the logic that
we have already factored out do do all the hard work of handling the
extent map manipulations. The results in a much simpler function for
the common extent read operations, and will allow the allocation
code to be simplified in another commit.
Once xfs_bmapi_read() is implemented, convert all the callers of
xfs_bmapi() that are only reading extents to use the new function.
