* xfs: clear ail delwri queued bufs on unmount of shutdown fsBrian Foster2018-10-181-6/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the typical unmount case, the AIL is forced out by the unmount sequence before the xfsaild task is stopped. Since AIL items are removed on writeback completion, this means that the AIL ->ail_buf_list delwri queue has been drained. This is not always true in the shutdown case, however. It's possible for buffers to sit on a delwri queue for a period of time across submission attempts if said items are locked or have been relogged and pinned since first added to the queue. If the attempt to log such an item results in a log I/O error, the error processing can shutdown the fs, remove the item from the AIL, stale the buffer (dropping the LRU reference) and clear its delwri queue state. The latter bit means the buffer will be released from a delwri queue on the next submission attempt, but this might never occur if the filesystem has shutdown and the AIL is empty. This means that such buffers are held indefinitely by the AIL delwri queue across destruction of the AIL. Aside from being a memory leak, these buffers can also hold references to in-core perag structures. The latter problem manifests as a generic/475 failure, reproducing the following asserts at unmount time: XFS: Assertion failed: atomic_read(&pag->pag_ref) == 0, file: fs/xfs/xfs_mount.c, line: 151 XFS: Assertion failed: atomic_read(&pag->pag_ref) == 0, file: fs/xfs/xfs_mount.c, line: 132 To prevent this problem, clear the AIL delwri queue as a final step before xfsaild() exit. The !empty state should never occur in the normal case, so add an assert to catch unexpected problems going forward.

* xfs: log item flags are racyDave Chinner2018-05-101-5/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The log item flags contain a field that is protected by the AIL lock - the XFS_LI_IN_AIL flag. We use non-atomic RMW operations to set and clear these flags, but most of the updates and checks are not done with the AIL lock held and so are susceptible to update races. Fix this by changing the log item flags to use atomic bitops rather than be reliant on the AIL lock for update serialisation.

* xfs: add log item pinning error injection tagBrian Foster2017-08-221-1/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add an error injection tag to force log items in the AIL to the pinned state. This option can be used by test infrastructure to induce head behind tail conditions. Specifically, this is intended to be used by xfstests to reproduce log recovery problems after failed/corrupted log writes overwrite the last good tail LSN in the log. When enabled, AIL push attempts see log items in the AIL in the pinned state. This stalls metadata writeback and thus prevents the current tail of the log from moving forward. When disabled, subsequent AIL pushes observe the log items in their appropriate state and filesystem operation continues as normal.

* xfs: Properly retry failed inode items in case of error during buffer writebackCarlos Maiolino2017-08-221-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a buffer has been failed during writeback, the inode items into it are kept flush locked, and are never resubmitted due the flush lock, so, if any buffer fails to be written, the items in AIL are never written to disk and never unlocked. This causes unmount operation to hang due these items flush locked in AIL, but this also causes the items in AIL to never be written back, even when the IO device comes back to normal. I've been testing this patch with a DM-thin device, creating a filesystem larger than the real device. When writing enough data to fill the DM-thin device, XFS receives ENOSPC errors from the device, and keep spinning on xfsaild (when 'retry forever' configuration is set). At this point, the filesystem can not be unmounted because of the flush locked items in AIL, but worse, the items in AIL are never retried at all (once xfs_inode_item_push() will skip the items that are flush locked), even if the underlying DM-thin device is expanded to the proper size. This patch fixes both cases, retrying any item that has been failed previously, using the infra-structure provided by the previous patch.

This regression occurs when the xfsaild is idle on entry to suspend, and so there s no activity to wake it from it's idle sleep and hence see that it is supposed to freeze. Hence the freezer times out waiting for it and suspend is cancelled. There is no obvious fix for this short of freezing the filesystem properly, so revert this change for now. cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # 4.4 Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner <david@fromorbit.com> Acked-by: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz> Reviewed-by: Brian Foster <bfoster@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner <david@fromorbit.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | xfsaild idle mode logic currently leads to a couple hangs: 1.) If xfsaild is rescheduled in during an incremental scan (i.e., tout != 0) and the target has been updated since the previous run, we can hit the new target and go into idle mode with a still populated ail. 2.) A wake up is only issued when the target is pushed forward. The wake up can race with xfsaild if it is currently in the process of entering idle mode, causing future wake up events to be lost. These hangs have been reproduced and verified as fixed by running xfstests 273 in a loop on a slightly modified upstream kernel. The kernel is modified to re-enable idle mode as previously implemented (when count == 0) and with a revert of commit 670ce93f, which includes performance improvements that make this harder to reproduce. The solution, the algorithm for which has been outlined by Dave Chinner, is to modify xfsaild to enter idle mode only when the ail is empty and the push target has not been moved forward since the last push.

* xfs: on-stack delayed write buffer listsChristoph Hellwig2012-05-141-72/+57
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Queue delwri buffers on a local on-stack list instead of a per-buftarg one, and write back the buffers per-process instead of by waking up xfsbufd. This is now easily doable given that we have very few places left that write delwri buffers: - log recovery: Only done at mount time, and already forcing out the buffers synchronously using xfs_flush_buftarg - quotacheck: Same story. - dquot reclaim: Writes out dirty dquots on the LRU under memory pressure. We might want to look into doing more of this via xfsaild, but it's already more optimal than the synchronous inode reclaim that writes each buffer synchronously. - xfsaild: This is the main beneficiary of the change. By keeping a local list of buffers to write we reduce latency of writing out buffers, and more importably we can remove all the delwri list promotions which were hitting the buffer cache hard under sustained metadata loads. The implementation is very straight forward - xfs_buf_delwri_queue now gets a new list_head pointer that it adds the delwri buffers to, and all callers need to eventually submit the list using xfs_buf_delwi_submit or xfs_buf_delwi_submit_nowait. Buffers that already are on a delwri list are skipped in xfs_buf_delwri_queue, assuming they already are on another delwri list. The biggest change to pass down the buffer list was done to the AIL pushing. Now that we operate on buffers the trylock, push and pushbuf log item methods are merged into a single push routine, which tries to lock the item, and if possible add the buffer that needs writeback to the buffer list. This leads to much simpler code than the previous split but requires the individual IOP_PUSH instances to unlock and reacquire the AIL around calls to blocking routines. Given that xfsailds now also handle writing out buffers, the conditions for log forcing and the sleep times needed some small changes. The most important one is that we consider an AIL busy as long we still have buffers to push, and the other one is that we do increment the pushed LSN for buffers that are under flushing at this moment, but still count them towards the stuck items for restart purposes. Without this we could hammer on stuck items without ever forcing the log and not make progress under heavy random delete workloads on fast flash storage devices.

* xfs: implement freezing by emptying the AILChristoph Hellwig2012-05-141-7/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that we write back all metadata either synchronously or through the AIL we can simply implement metadata freezing in terms of emptying the AIL. The implementation for this is fairly simply and straight-forward: A new routine is added that asks the xfsaild to push the AIL to the end and waits for it to complete and send a wakeup. The routine will then loop if the AIL is not actually empty, and continue to do so until the AIL is compeltely empty. We keep an inode reclaim pass in the freeze process to avoid having memory pressure have to reclaim inodes that require dirtying the filesystem to be reclaimed after the freeze has completed. This means we can also treat unmount in the exact same way as freeze. As an upside we can now remove the radix tree based inode writeback and xfs_unmountfs_writesb.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently xfs_log_move_tail has a tail_lsn argument that is horribly overloaded: it may contain either an actual lsn to assign to the log tail, 0 as a special case to use the last sync LSN, or 1 to indicate that no tail LSN assignment should be performed, and we should opportunisticly wake up at one task waiting for log space even if we did not move the LSN. Remove the tail lsn assigned from xfs_log_move_tail and make the two callers use xlog_assign_tail_lsn instead of the current variant of partially using the code in xfs_log_move_tail and partially opencoding it. Note that means we grow an addition lock roundtrip on the AIL lock for each bulk update or delete, which is still far less than what we had before introducing the bulk operations. If this proves to be a problem we can still add a variant of xlog_assign_tail_lsn that expects the lock to be held already. Also rename the remainder of xfs_log_move_tail to xfs_log_space_wake as that name describes its functionality much better.

Revert back to use a kthread per filesystem which fixes all the above issues at the cost of having a task struct and stack around for each mounted filesystem.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The AIL push code will issue a log force on ever single push loop that it exits and has encountered pinned items. It doesn't rescan these pinned items until it revisits the AIL from the start. Hence we only need to force the log once per walk from the start of the AIL to the target LSN. This results in numbers like this: xs_push_ail_flush..... 1456 xs_log_force......... 1485 For an 8-way 50M inode create workload - almost all the log forces are coming from the AIL pushing code. Reduce the number of log forces by only forcing the log if the previous walk found pinned buffers. This reduces the numbers to: xs_push_ail_flush..... 665 xs_log_force......... 682 For the same test.

* xfs: use a cursor for bulk AIL insertionDave Chinner2011-07-211-21/+88
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Delayed logging can insert tens of thousands of log items into the AIL at the same LSN. When the committing of log commit records occur, we can get insertions occurring at an LSN that is not at the end of the AIL. If there are thousands of items in the AIL on the tail LSN, each insertion has to walk the AIL to find the correct place to insert the new item into the AIL. This can consume large amounts of CPU time and block other operations from occurring while the traversals are in progress. To avoid this repeated walk, use a AIL cursor to record where we should be inserting the new items into the AIL without having to repeat the walk. The cursor infrastructure already provides this functionality for push walks, so is a simple extension of existing code. While this will not avoid the initial walk, it will avoid repeating it tens of thousands of times during a single checkpoint commit. This version includes logic improvements from Christoph Hellwig.

* xfs: fix race condition in AIL push triggerDave Chinner2011-05-101-6/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The recent conversion of the xfsaild functionality to a work queue introduced a hard-to-hit log space grant hang. One is caused by a race condition in determining whether there is a psh in progress or not. The XFS_AIL_PUSHING_BIT is used to determine whether a push is currently in progress. When the AIL push work completes, it checked whether the target changed and cleared the PUSHING bit to allow a new push to be requeued. The race condition is as follows: Thread 1 push work smp_wmb() smp_rmb() check ailp->xa_target unchanged update ailp->xa_target test/set PUSHING bit does not queue clear PUSHING bit does not requeue Now that the push target is updated, new attempts to push the AIL will not trigger as the push target will be the same, and hence despite trying to push the AIL we won't ever wake it again. The fix is to ensure that the AIL push work clears the PUSHING bit before it checks if the target is unchanged. As a result, both push triggers operate on the same test/set bit criteria, so even if we race in the push work and miss the target update, the thread requesting the push will still set the PUSHING bit and queue the push work to occur. For safety sake, the same queue check is done if the push work detects the target change, though only one of the two will will queue new work due to the use of test_and_set_bit() checks.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The recent conversion of the xfsaild functionality to a work queue introduced a hard-to-hit log space grant hang. One of the problems discovered is a target mismatch between the item pushing loop and the target itself. The push trigger checks for the target increasing (i.e. new target > current) while the push loop only pushes items that have a LSN < current. As a result, we can get the situation where the push target is X, the items at the tail of the AIL have LSN X and they don't get pushed. The push work then completes thinking it is done, and cannot be restarted until the push target increases to >= X + 1. If the push target then never increases (because the tail is not moving), then we never run the push work again and we stall. Fix it by making sure log items with a LSN that matches the target exactly are pushed during the loop.
