In the last patch, we changed the rmapbt code to remove the UNWRITTEN bit when creating an rmapbt key from an rmapbt record, and we changed the rmapbt key comparison code to start considering the ATTR and BMBT flags during lookup. This brought the behavior of the rmapbt implementation in line with its specification. However, there may exist filesystems that have the unwritten bit still set in the rmapbt keys. We should detect these situations and flag the rmapbt as one that would benefit from optimization. Eventually, online repair will be able to do something in response to this.

Keys for extent interval records in the reverse mapping btree are supposed to be computed as follows: (physical block, owner, fork, is_btree, offset) This provides users the ability to look up a reverse mapping from a file block mapping record -- start with the physical block; then if there are multiple records for the same block, move on to the owner; then the inode fork type; and so on to the file offset. Unfortunately, the code that creates rmap lookup keys from rmap records forgot to mask off the record attribute flags, leading to ondisk keys that look like this: (physical block, owner, fork, is_btree, unwritten state, offset) Fortunately, this has all worked ok for the past six years because the key comparison functions incorrectly ignore the fork/bmbt/unwritten information that's encoded in the on-disk offset. This means that lookup comparisons are only done with: (physical block, owner, offset) Queries can (theoretically) return incorrect results because of this omission. On consistent filesystems this isn't an issue because xattr and bmbt blocks cannot be shared and hence the comparisons succeed purely on the contents of the rm_startblock field. For the one case where we support sharing (written data fork blocks) all flag bits are zero, so the omission in the comparison has no ill effects. Unfortunately, this bug prevents scrub from detecting incorrect fork and bmbt flag bits in the rmap btree, so we really do need to fix the compare code. Old filesystems with the unwritten bit erroneously set in the rmap key struct will work fine on new kernels since we still ignore the unwritten bit. New filesystems on older kernels will work fine since the old kernels never paid attention to the unwritten bit. A previous version of this patch forgot to keep the (un)written state flag masked during the comparison and caused a major regression in 5.9.x since unwritten extent conversion can update an rmap record without requiring key updates. Note that blocks cannot go directly from data fork to attr fork without being deallocated and reallocated, nor can they be added to or removed from a bmbt without a free/alloc cycle, so this should not cause any regressions. Found by fuzzing keys[1].attrfork = ones on xfs/371. Fixes: 4b8ed677 ("xfs: add rmap btree operations") Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

In the previous patch, we added jump labels to the intent drain code so that regular filesystem operations need not pay the price of checking for someone (scrub) waiting on intents to drain from some part of the filesystem when that someone isn't running. However, I observed that xfs/285 now spends a lot more time pushing the AIL from the inode btree scrubber than it used to. This is because the inobt scrubber will try push the AIL to try to get logged inode cores written to the filesystem when it sees a weird discrepancy between the ondisk inode and the inobt records. This AIL push is triggered when the setup function sees TRY_HARDER is set; and the requisite EDEADLOCK return is initiated when the discrepancy is seen. The solution to this performance slow down is to use a different result code (ECHRNG) for scrub code to signal that it needs to wait for deferred intent work items to drain out of some part of the filesystem. When this happens, set a new scrub state flag (XCHK_NEED_DRAIN) so that setup functions will activate the jump label. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

To reduce the runtime overhead even further when online fsck isn't running, use a static branch key to decide if we call wake_up on the drain. For compilers that support jump labels, the call to wake_up is replaced by a nop sled when nobody is waiting for intents to drain. From my initial microbenchmarking, every transition of the static key between the on and off states takes about 22000ns to complete; this is paid entirely by the xfs_scrub process. When the static key is off (which it should be when fsck isn't running), the nop sled adds an overhead of approximately 0.36ns to runtime code. The post-atomic lockless waiter check adds about 0.03ns, which is basically free. For the few compilers that don't support jump labels, runtime code pays the cost of calling wake_up on an empty waitqueue, which was observed to be about 30ns. However, most architectures that have sufficient memory and CPU capacity to run XFS also support jump labels, so this is not much of a worry. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

It has been a longstanding convention that online scrub and repair functions can return -EDEADLOCK to signal that they weren't able to obtain some necessary resource. When this happens, the scrub framework is supposed to release all resources attached to the scrub context, set the TRY_HARDER flag in the scrub context flags, and try again. In this context, individual scrub functions are supposed to take all the resources they (incorrectly) speculated were not necessary. We're about to make it so that the functions that lock and wait for a filesystem AG can also return EDEADLOCK to signal that we need to try again with the drain waiters enabled. Therefore, refactor xfs_scrub_metadata to support this behavior for ->setup() functions. Signed-off-by: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com>

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>

There are a few places in the XFS codebase where a caller has either an active or a passive reference to a perag structure and wants to give a passive reference to some other piece of code. Btree cursor creation and inode walks are good examples of this. Replace the open-coded logic with a helper to do this. The new function adds a few safeguards -- it checks that there's at least one reference to the perag structure passed in, and it records the refcount bump in the ftrace information. This makes it much easier to debug perag refcounting problems. Signed-off-by: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com>

Give the xfs_bmap_intent an active reference to the perag structure data. This reference will be used to enable scrub intent draining functionality in subsequent patches. Later, shrink will use these passive references to know if an AG is quiesced or not. The reason why we take a passive ref for a file mapping operation is simple: we're committing to some sort of action involving space in an AG, so we want to indicate our interest in that AG. The space is already allocated, so we need to be able to operate on AGs that are offline or being shrunk. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

File-based metadata (such as xattrs and directories) can be extremely large. To reduce the memory requirements and maximize code reuse, it is very convenient to create a temporary file, use the regular dir/attr code to store salvaged information, and then atomically swap the extents between the file being repaired and the temporary file.

Writes to an XFS filesystem employ an eventual consistency update model to break up complex multistep metadata updates into small chained transactions. This is generally good for performance and scalability because XFS doesn't need to prepare for enormous transactions, but it also means that online fsck must be careful not to attempt a fsck action unless it can be shown that there are no other threads processing a transaction chain.
