* fs: don't flush in-flight wb switches for superblocks without cgroup writebackHaifeng Xu2024-08-191-1/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When deactivating any type of superblock, it had to wait for the in-flight wb switches to be completed. wb switches are executed in inode_switch_wbs_work_fn() which needs to acquire the wb_switch_rwsem and races against sync_inodes_sb(). If there are too much dirty data in the superblock, the waiting time may increase significantly. For superblocks without cgroup writeback such as tmpfs, they have nothing to do with the wb swithes, so the flushing can be avoided.

However, kupdate writeback will writeback non-expired inode left in b_io or b_more_io from last wb_writeback. As a result, writeback will keep being triggered unexpected when we keep dirtying pages even dirty memory is under threshold and inode is not expired.

(keep dirtying), the writeback will keep being triggered as following: wb_workfn wb_do_writeback wb_check_background_flush /* * Wb dirty background threshold starts at 0 if device was idle and * grows up when bandwidth of wb is updated. So a background * writeback is triggered. */ wb_over_bg_thresh /* * Dirtied inode will be written back and added to b_more_io list * after slice used up (because we keep dirtying the inode). */ wb_writeback Writeback is triggered per dirty_writeback_centisecs as following: wb_workfn wb_do_writeback wb_check_old_data_flush /* * Write back inode left in b_io and b_more_io from last wb_writeback * even the inode is non-expired and it will be added to b_more_io * again as slice will be used up (because we keep dirtying the * inode) */ wb_writeback Fix this by moving non-expired inode to dirty list instead of more io list for kupdate writeback in requeue_inode.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Move the resource pinning-for-writeback from fscache code to netfslib code. This is used to keep a cache backing object pinned whilst we have dirty pages on the netfs inode in the pagecache such that VM writeback will be able to reach it. Whilst we're at it, switch the parameters of netfs_unpin_writeback() to match ->write_inode() so that it can be used for that directly. Note that this mechanism could be more generically useful than that for network filesystems. Quite often they have to keep around other resources (e.g. authentication tokens or network connections) until the writeback is complete.

Features: - Rename and export helpers that get write access to a mount. They are used in overlayfs to get write access to the upper mount. - Print the pretty name of the root device on boot failure. This helps in scenarios where we would usually only print "unknown-block(1,2)". - Add an internal SB_I_NOUMASK flag. This is another part in the endless POSIX ACL saga in a way. When POSIX ACLs are enabled via SB_POSIXACL the vfs cannot strip the umask because if the relevant inode has POSIX ACLs set it might take the umask from there. But if the inode doesn't have any POSIX ACLs set then we apply the umask in the filesytem itself. So we end up with: (1) no SB_POSIXACL -> strip umask in vfs (2) SB_POSIXACL -> strip umask in filesystem The umask semantics associated with SB_POSIXACL allowed filesystems that don't even support POSIX ACLs at all to raise SB_POSIXACL purely to avoid umask stripping. That specifically means NFS v4 and Overlayfs. NFS v4 does it because it delegates this to the server and Overlayfs because it needs to delegate umask stripping to the upper filesystem, i.e., the filesystem used as the writable layer. This went so far that SB_POSIXACL is raised eve on kernels that don't even have POSIX ACL support at all. Stop this blatant abuse and add SB_I_NOUMASK which is an internal superblock flag that filesystems can raise to opt out of umask handling. That should really only be the two mentioned above. It's not that we want any filesystems to do this. Ideally we have all umask handling always in the vfs. - Make overlayfs use SB_I_NOUMASK too. - Now that we have SB_I_NOUMASK, stop checking for SB_POSIXACL in IS_POSIXACL() if the kernel doesn't have support for it. This is a very old patch but it's only possible to do this now with the wider cleanup that was done. - Follow-up work on fake path handling from last cycle. Citing mostly from Amir: When overlayfs was first merged, overlayfs files of regular files and directories, the ones that are installed in file table, had a "fake" path, namely, f_path is the overlayfs path and f_inode is the "real" inode on the underlying filesystem. In v6.5, we took another small step by introducing of the backing_file container and the file_real_path() helper. This change allowed vfs and filesystem code to get the "real" path of an overlayfs backing file. With this change, we were able to make fsnotify work correctly and report events on the "real" filesystem objects that were accessed via overlayfs. This method works fine, but it still leaves the vfs vulnerable to new code that is not aware of files with fake path. A recent example is commit db1d1e8b9867 ("IMA: use vfs_getattr_nosec to get the i_version"). This commit uses direct referencing to f_path in IMA code that otherwise uses file_inode() and file_dentry() to reference the filesystem objects that it is measuring. This contains work to switch things around: instead of having filesystem code opt-in to get the "real" path, have generic code opt-in for the "fake" path in the few places that it is needed. Is it far more likely that new filesystems code that does not use the file_dentry() and file_real_path() helpers will end up causing crashes or averting LSM/audit rules if we keep the "fake" path exposed by default. This change already makes file_dentry() moot, but for now we did not change this helper just added a WARN_ON() in ovl_d_real() to catch if we have made any wrong assumptions. After the dust settles on this change, we can make file_dentry() a plain accessor and we can drop the inode argument to ->d_real(). - Switch struct file to SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU. This looks like a small change but it really isn't and I would like to see everyone on their tippie toes for any possible bugs from this work. Essentially we've been doing most of what SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU for files since a very long time because of the nasty interactions between the SCM_RIGHTS file descriptor garbage collection. So extending it makes a lot of sense but it is a subtle change. There are almost no places that fiddle with file rcu semantics directly and the ones that did mess around with struct file internal under rcu have been made to stop doing that because it really was always dodgy.

| * writeback, cgroup: switch inodes with dirty timestamps to release dying cgwbsJingbo Xu2023-10-191-12/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The cgwb cleanup routine will try to release the dying cgwb by switching the attached inodes. It fetches the attached inodes from wb->b_attached list, omitting the fact that inodes only with dirty timestamps reside in wb->b_dirty_time list, which is the case when lazytime is enabled. This causes enormous zombie memory cgroup when lazytime is enabled, as inodes with dirty timestamps can not be switched to a live cgwb for a long time. It is reasonable not to switch cgwb for inodes with dirty data, as otherwise it may break the bandwidth restrictions. However since the writeback of inode metadata is not accounted for, let's also switch inodes with dirty timestamps to avoid zombie memory and block cgroups when laztytime is enabled.

* | fs-writeback: do not requeue a clean inode having skipped pagesChunhai Guo2023-09-201-3/+8
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When writing back an inode and performing an fsync on it concurrently, a deadlock issue may arise as shown below. In each writeback iteration, a clean inode is requeued to the wb->b_dirty queue due to non-zero pages_skipped, without anything actually being written.

* writeback: move wb_over_bg_thresh() call outside lock sectionYosry Ahmed2023-06-101-5/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Patch series "cgroup: eliminate atomic rstat flushing", v5. A previous patch series [1] changed most atomic rstat flushing contexts to become non-atomic. This was done to avoid an expensive operation that scales with # cgroups and # cpus to happen with irqs disabled and scheduling not permitted. There were two remaining atomic flushing contexts after that series. This series tries to eliminate them as well, eliminating atomic rstat flushing completely. The two remaining atomic flushing contexts are: (a) wb_over_bg_thresh()->mem_cgroup_wb_stats() (b) mem_cgroup_threshold()->mem_cgroup_usage() For (a), flushing needs to be atomic as wb_writeback() calls wb_over_bg_thresh() with a spinlock held. However, it seems like the call to wb_over_bg_thresh() doesn't need to be protected by that spinlock, so this series proposes a refactoring that moves the call outside the lock criticial section and makes the stats flushing in mem_cgroup_wb_stats() non-atomic. For (b), flushing needs to be atomic as mem_cgroup_threshold() is called with irqs disabled. We only flush the stats when calculating the root usage, as it is approximated as the sum of some memcg stats (file, anon, and optionally swap) instead of the conventional page counter. This series proposes changing this calculation to use the global stats instead, eliminating the need for a memcg stat flush. After these 2 contexts are eliminated, we no longer need mem_cgroup_flush_stats_atomic() or cgroup_rstat_flush_atomic(). We can remove them and simplify the code. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20230330191801.1967435-1-yosryahmed@google.com/ This patch (of 5): wb_over_bg_thresh() calls mem_cgroup_wb_stats() which invokes an rstat flush, which can be expensive on large systems. Currently, wb_writeback() calls wb_over_bg_thresh() within a lock section, so we have to do the rstat flush atomically. On systems with a lot of cpus and/or cgroups, this can cause us to disable irqs for a long time, potentially causing problems. Move the call to wb_over_bg_thresh() outside the lock section in preparation to make the rstat flush in mem_cgroup_wb_stats() non-atomic. The list_empty(&wb->work_list) check should be okay outside the lock section of wb->list_lock as it is protected by a separate lock (wb->work_lock), and wb_over_bg_thresh() doesn't seem like it is modifying any of wb->b_* lists the wb->list_lock is protecting. Also, the loop seems to be already releasing and reacquring the lock, so this refactoring looks safe.

If the allocation of new work fails, the on-stack fallback will be used and the reference count of the current wb is increased afterwards. If cgroup writeback membership switches occur before getting the reference count and the current wb is released as old_wd, then calling wb_get() or wb_put() will trigger the null pointer dereference above. This issue was introduced in v4.3-rc7 (see fix tag1). Both sync_inodes_sb() and __writeback_inodes_sb_nr() calls to bdi_split_work_to_wbs() can trigger this issue. For scenarios called via sync_inodes_sb(), originally commit 7fc5854f8c6e ("writeback: synchronize sync(2) against cgroup writeback membership switches") reduced the possibility of the issue by adding wb_switch_rwsem, but in v5.14-rc1 (see fix tag2) removed the "inode_io_list_del_locked(inode, old_wb)" from inode_switch_wbs_work_fn() so that wb->state contains WB_has_dirty_io, thus old_wb is not skipped when traversing wbs in bdi_split_work_to_wbs(), and the issue becomes easily reproducible again. To solve this problem, percpu_ref_exit() is called under RCU protection to avoid race between cgwb_release_workfn() and bdi_split_work_to_wbs(). Moreover, replace wb_get() with wb_tryget() in bdi_split_work_to_wbs(), and skip the current wb if wb_tryget() fails because the wb has already been shutdown.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After commit cbfecb927f42 ("fs: record I_DIRTY_TIME even if inode already has I_DIRTY_INODE") writeback_single_inode can push inode with I_DIRTY_TIME set to b_dirty_time list. In case of freeing inode with I_DIRTY_TIME set this can happen after deletion of inode from i_io_list at evict. Stack trace is following. evict fat_evict_inode fat_truncate_blocks fat_flush_inodes writeback_inode sync_inode_metadata(inode, sync=0) writeback_single_inode(inode, wbc) <- wbc->sync_mode == WB_SYNC_NONE This will lead to use after free in flusher thread. Similar issue can be triggered if writeback_single_inode in the stack trace update inode->i_io_list. Add explicit check to avoid it.

* fs: record I_DIRTY_TIME even if inode already has I_DIRTY_INODELukas Czerner2022-09-301-12/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the I_DIRTY_TIME will never get set if the inode already has I_DIRTY_INODE with assumption that it supersedes I_DIRTY_TIME. That's true, however ext4 will only update the on-disk inode in ->dirty_inode(), not on actual writeback. As a result if the inode already has I_DIRTY_INODE state by the time we get to __mark_inode_dirty() only with I_DIRTY_TIME, the time was already filled into on-disk inode and will not get updated until the next I_DIRTY_INODE update, which might never come if we crash or get a power failure. The problem can be reproduced on ext4 by running xfstest generic/622 with -o iversion mount option. Fix it by allowing I_DIRTY_TIME to be set even if the inode already has I_DIRTY_INODE. Also make sure that the case is properly handled in writeback_single_inode() as well. Additionally changes in xfs_fs_dirty_inode() was made to accommodate for I_DIRTY_TIME in flag. Thanks Jan Kara for suggestions on how to make this work properly.

* writeback: avoid use-after-free after removing deviceKhazhismel Kumykov2022-08-281-6/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a disk is removed, bdi_unregister gets called to stop further writeback and wait for associated delayed work to complete. However, wb_inode_writeback_end() may schedule bandwidth estimation dwork after this has completed, which can result in the timer attempting to access the just freed bdi_writeback. Fix this by checking if the bdi_writeback is alive, similar to when scheduling writeback work. Since this requires wb->work_lock, and wb_inode_writeback_end() may get called from interrupt, switch wb->work_lock to an irqsafe lock.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | PF_SWAPWRITE has been redundant since v3.2 commit ee72886d8ed5 ("mm: vmscan: do not writeback filesystem pages in direct reclaim"). Coincidentally, NeilBrown's current patch "remove inode_congested()" deletes may_write_to_inode(), which appeared to be the one function which took notice of PF_SWAPWRITE. But if you study the old logic, and the conditions under which may_write_to_inode() was called, you discover that flag and function have been pointless for a decade.

The series is structured such that the first few patches disable fscache use by the network filesystems using it, remove the cachefiles driver entirely and as much of the fscache driver as can be got away with without causing build failures in the network filesystems. The patches after that recreate fscache and then cachefiles, attempting to add the pieces in a logical order. Finally, the filesystems are reenabled and then the very last patch changes the documentation. [!] Note: I have dropped the cifs patch for the moment, leaving local caching in cifs disabled. I've been having trouble getting that working. I think I have it done, but it needs more testing (there seem to be some test failures occurring with v5.16 also from xfstests), so I propose deferring that patch to the end of the merge window. WHY REWRITE? ============ Fscache's operation scheduling API was intended to handle sequencing of cache operations, which were all required (where possible) to run asynchronously in parallel with the operations being done by the network filesystem, whilst allowing the cache to be brought online and offline and to interrupt service for invalidation. With the advent of the tmpfile capacity in the VFS, however, an opportunity arises to do invalidation much more simply, without having to wait for I/O that's actually in progress: Cachefiles can simply create a tmpfile, cut over the file pointer for the backing object attached to a cookie and abandon the in-progress I/O, dismissing it upon completion. Future work here would involve using Omar Sandoval's vfs_link() with AT_LINK_REPLACE[1] to allow an extant file to be displaced by a new hard link from a tmpfile as currently I have to unlink the old file first. These patches can also simplify the object state handling as I/O operations to the cache don't all have to be brought to a stop in order to invalidate a file. To that end, and with an eye on to writing a new backing cache model in the future, I've taken the opportunity to simplify the indexing structure. I've separated the index cookie concept from the file cookie concept by C type now. The former is now called a "volume cookie" (struct fscache_volume) and there is a container of file cookies. There are then just the two levels. All the index cookie levels are collapsed into a single volume cookie, and this has a single printable string as a key. For instance, an AFS volume would have a key of something like "afs,example.com,1000555", combining the filesystem name, cell name and volume ID. This is freeform, but must not have '/' chars in it. I've also eliminated all pointers back from fscache into the network filesystem. This required the duplication of a little bit of data in the cookie (cookie key, coherency data and file size), but it's not actually that much. This gets rid of problems with making sure we keep netfs data structures around so that the cache can access them. These patches mean that most of the code that was in the drivers before is simply gone and those drivers are now almost entirely new code. That being the case, there doesn't seem any particular reason to try and maintain bisectability across it. Further, there has to be a point in the middle where things are cut over as there's a single point everything has to go through (ie. /dev/cachefiles) and it can't be in use by two drivers at once. ISSUES YET OUTSTANDING ====================== There are some issues still outstanding, unaddressed by this patchset, that will need fixing in future patchsets, but that don't stop this series from being usable: (1) The cachefiles driver needs to stop using the backing filesystem's metadata to store information about what parts of the cache are populated. This is not reliable with modern extent-based filesystems. Fixing this is deferred to a separate patchset as it involves negotiation with the network filesystem and the VM as to how much data to download to fulfil a read - which brings me on to (2)... (2) NFS (and CIFS with the dropped patch) do not take account of how the cache would like I/O to be structured to meet its granularity requirements. Previously, the cache used page granularity, which was fine as the network filesystems also dealt in page granularity, and the backing filesystem (ext4, xfs or whatever) did whatever it did out of sight. However, we now have folios to deal with and the cache will now have to store its own metadata to track its contents. The change I'm looking at making for cachefiles is to store content bitmaps in one or more xattrs and making a bit in the map correspond to something like a 256KiB block. However, the size of an xattr and the fact that they have to be read/updated in one go means that I'm looking at covering 1GiB of data per 512-byte map and storing each map in an xattr. Cachefiles has the potential to grow into a fully fledged filesystem of its very own if I'm not careful. However, I'm also looking at changing things even more radically and going to a different model of how the cache is arranged and managed - one that's more akin to the way, say, openafs does things - which brings me on to (3)... (3) The way cachefilesd does culling is very inefficient for large caches and it would be better to move it into the kernel if I can as cachefilesd has to keep asking the kernel if it can cull a file. Changing the way the backend works would allow this to be addressed. BITS THAT MAY BE CONTROVERSIAL ============================== There are some bits I've added that may be controversial: (1) I've provided a flag, S_KERNEL_FILE, that cachefiles uses to check if a files is already being used by some other kernel service (e.g. a duplicate cachefiles cache in the same directory) and reject it if it is. This isn't entirely necessary, but it helps prevent accidental data corruption. I don't want to use S_SWAPFILE as that has other effects, but quite possibly swapon() should set S_KERNEL_FILE too. Note that it doesn't prevent userspace from interfering, though perhaps it should. (I have made it prevent a marked directory from being rmdir-able). (2) Cachefiles wants to keep the backing file for a cookie open whilst we might need to write to it from network filesystem writeback. The problem is that the network filesystem unuses its cookie when its file is closed, and so we have nothing pinning the cachefiles file open and it will get closed automatically after a short time to avoid EMFILE/ENFILE problems. Reopening the cache file, however, is a problem if this is being done due to writeback triggered by exit(). Some filesystems will oops if we try to open a file in that context because they want to access current->fs or suchlike. To get around this, I added the following: (A) An inode flag, I_PINNING_FSCACHE_WB, to be set on a network filesystem inode to indicate that we have a usage count on the cookie caching that inode. (B) A flag in struct writeback_control, unpinned_fscache_wb, that is set when __writeback_single_inode() clears the last dirty page from i_pages - at which point it clears I_PINNING_FSCACHE_WB and sets this flag. This has to be done here so that clearing I_PINNING_FSCACHE_WB can be done atomically with the check of PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY that clears I_DIRTY_PAGES. (C) A function, fscache_set_page_dirty(), which if it is not set, sets I_PINNING_FSCACHE_WB and calls fscache_use_cookie() to pin the cache resources. (D) A function, fscache_unpin_writeback(), to be called by ->write_inode() to unuse the cookie. (E) A function, fscache_clear_inode_writeback(), to be called when the inode is evicted, before clear_inode() is called. This cleans up any lingering I_PINNING_FSCACHE_WB. The network filesystem can then use these tools to make sure that fscache_write_to_cache() can write locally modified data to the cache as well as to the server. For the future, I'm working on write helpers for netfs lib that should allow this facility to be removed by keeping track of the dirty regions separately - but that's incomplete at the moment and is also going to be affected by folios, one way or another, since it deals with pages" Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/510611.1641942444@warthog.procyon.org.uk/ Tested-by: Dominique Martinet <asmadeus@codewreck.org> # 9p Tested-by: kafs-testing@auristor.com # afs Tested-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@kernel.org> # ceph Tested-by: Dave Wysochanski <dwysocha@redhat.com> # nfs Tested-by: Daire Byrne <daire@dneg.com> # nfs * tag 'fscache-rewrite-20220111' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs: (67 commits) 9p, afs, ceph, nfs: Use current_is_kswapd() rather than gfpflags_allow_blocking() fscache: Add a tracepoint for cookie use/unuse fscache: Rewrite documentation ceph: add fscache writeback support ceph: conversion to new fscache API nfs: Implement cache I/O by accessing the cache directly nfs: Convert to new fscache volume/cookie API 9p: Copy local writes to the cache when writing to the server 9p: Use fscache indexing rewrite and reenable caching afs: Skip truncation on the server of data we haven't written yet afs: Copy local writes to the cache when writing to the server afs: Convert afs to use the new fscache API fscache, cachefiles: Display stat of culling events fscache, cachefiles: Display stats of no-space events cachefiles: Allow cachefiles to actually function fscache, cachefiles: Store the volume coherency data cachefiles: Implement the I/O routines cachefiles: Implement cookie resize for truncate cachefiles: Implement begin and end I/O operation cachefiles: Implement backing file wrangling ...

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As noted in the "Deprecated Interfaces, Language Features, Attributes, and Conventions" documentation [1], size calculations (especially multiplication) should not be performed in memory allocator (or similar) function arguments due to the risk of them overflowing. This could lead to values wrapping around and a smaller allocation being made than the caller was expecting. Using those allocations could lead to linear overflows of heap memory and other misbehaviors. In this case these are not actually dynamic sizes: all the operands involved in the calculation are constant values. However it is better to refactor them anyway, just to keep the open-coded math idiom out of code. So, use the struct_size() helper to do the arithmetic instead of the argument "size + count * size" in the kzalloc() functions. This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle and audited and fixed manually.

| * writeback: track number of inodes under writebackJan Kara2021-09-031-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Patch series "writeback: Fix bandwidth estimates", v4. Fix estimate of writeback throughput when device is not fully busy doing writeback. Michael Stapelberg has reported that such workload (e.g. generated by linking) tends to push estimated throughput down to 0 and as a result writeback on the device is practically stalled. The first three patches fix the reported issue, the remaining two patches are unrelated cleanups of problems I've noticed when reading the code. This patch (of 4): Track number of inodes under writeback for each bdi_writeback structure. We will use this to decide whether wb does any IO and so we can estimate its writeback throughput. In principle we could use number of pages under writeback (WB_WRITEBACK counter) for this however normal percpu counter reads are too inaccurate for our purposes and summing the counter is too expensive.

* writeback, cgroup: do not reparent dax inodesRoman Gushchin2021-07-241-0/+3

This happens for DAX and not for other kinds of non-page entries in the inodes because it's a tagged iteration, and shadow/swap entries are never tagged; only DAX entries get tagged. Fix the problem by bailing out (with the false return value) of inode_prepare_sbs_switch() if a dax inode is passed.
