xfs: allow queued AG intents to drain before scrubbing
When a writer thread executes a chain of log intent items, the AG header buffer locks will cycle during a transaction roll to get from one intent item to the next in a chain. Although scrub takes all AG header buffer locks, this isn't sufficient to guard against scrub checking an AG while that writer thread is in the middle of finishing a chain because there's no higher level locking primitive guarding allocation groups. When there's a collision, cross-referencing between data structures (e.g. rmapbt and refcountbt) yields false corruption events; if repair is running, this results in incorrect repairs, which is catastrophic. Fix this by adding to the perag structure the count of active intents and make scrub wait until it has both AG header buffer locks and the intent counter reaches zero. One quirk of the drain code is that deferred bmap updates also bump and drop the intent counter. A fundamental decision made during the design phase of the reverse mapping feature is that updates to the rmapbt records are always made by the same code that updates the primary metadata. In other words, callers of bmapi functions expect that the bmapi functions will queue deferred rmap updates. Some parts of the reflink code queue deferred refcount (CUI) and bmap (BUI) updates in the same head transaction, but the deferred work manager completely finishes the CUI before the BUI work is started. As a result, the CUI drops the intent count long before the deferred rmap (RUI) update even has a chance to bump the intent count. The only way to keep the intent count elevated between the CUI and RUI is for the BUI to bump the counter until the RUI has been created. A second quirk of the intent drain code is that deferred work items must increment the intent counter as soon as the work item is added to the transaction. When a BUI completes and queues an RUI, the RUI must increment the counter before the BUI decrements it. The only way to accomplish this is to require that the counter be bumped as soon as the deferred work item is created in memory. In the next patches we'll improve on this facility, but this patch provides the basic functionality. Signed-off-by: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com>
