      xfs: check LSN ordering for v5 superblocks during recovery · 50d5c8d8
      Dave Chinner authored 
      Log recovery has some strict ordering requirements which unordered
or reordered metadata writeback can defeat. This can occur when an
item is logged in a transaction, written back to disk, and then
logged in a new transaction before the tail of the log is moved past
the original modification.

The result of this is that when we read an object off disk for
recovery purposes, the buffer that we read may not contain the
object type that recovery is expecting and hence at the end of the
checkpoint being recovered we have an invalid object in memory.

This isn't usually a problem, as recovery will then replay all the
other checkpoints and that brings the object back to a valid and
correct state, but the issue is that while the object is in the
invalid state it can be flushed to disk. This results in the object
verifier failing and triggering a corruption shutdown of log
recover. This is correct behaviour for the verifiers - the problem
is that we are not detecting that the object we've read off disk is
newer than the transaction we are replaying.

All metadata in v5 filesystems has the LSN of it's last modification
stamped in it. This enabled log recover to read that field and
determine the age of the object on disk correctly. If the LSN of the
object on disk is older than the transaction being replayed, then we
replay the modification. If the LSN of the object matches or is more
recent than the transaction's LSN, then we should avoid overwriting
the object as that is what leads to the transient corrupt state.

      xfs: btree block LSN escaping to disk uninitialised · b58fa554
      Dave Chinner authored 
      When testing LSN ordering code for v5 superblocks, it was discovered
that the the LSN embedded in the generic btree blocks was
occasionally uninitialised. These values didn't get written to disk
by metadata writeback - they got written by previous transactions in
log recovery.

The issue is here that the when the block is first allocated and
initialised, the LSN field was not initialised - it gets overwritten
before IO is issued on the buffer - but the value that is logged by
transactions that modify the header before it is written to disk
(and initialised) contain garbage. Hence the first recovery of the
buffer will stamp garbage into the LSN field, and that can cause
subsequent transactions to not replay correctly.

The fix is simply to initialise the bb_lsn field to zero when we
initialise the block for the first time.

      XFS: Assertion failed: first <= last && last < BBTOB(bp->b_length), file: fs/xfs/xfs_trans_buf.c, line: 568

The calculation doesn't take into account the size of the dir v3
header, so overestimates the hash entries in a node. This causes
directory buffer overruns when splitting and merging nodes.

      xfs: fix bad dquot buffer size in log recovery readahead · 0f0d3345
      Dave Chinner authored 
      xfstests xfs/087 fails 100% reliably with this assert:

XFS (vdb): Mounting Filesystem
XFS (vdb): Starting recovery (logdev: internal)
XFS: Assertion failed: bp->b_flags & XBF_STALE, file: fs/xfs/xfs_buf.c, line: 548

while trying to read a dquot buffer in xlog_recover_dquot_ra_pass2().

The issue is that the buffer length to read that is passed to
xfs_buf_readahead is in units of filesystem blocks, not disk blocks.
(i.e. FSB, not daddr). Fix it but putting the correct conversion in
place.

      xfs: don't account buffer cancellation during log recovery readahead · 84a5b730
      Dave Chinner authored 
      When doing readhaead in log recovery, we check to see if buffers are
cancelled before doing readahead. If we find a cancelled buffer,
however, we always decrement the reference count we have on it, and
that means that readahead is causing a double decrement of the
cancelled buffer reference count.

This results in log recovery *replaying cancelled buffers* as the
actual recovery pass does not find the cancelled buffer entry in the
commit phase of the second pass across a transaction. On debug
kernels, this results in an ASSERT failure like so:

XFS: Assertion failed: !(flags & XFS_BLF_CANCEL), file: fs/xfs/xfs_log_recover.c, line: 1815

xfstests generic/311 reproduces this ASSERT failure with 100%
reproducability.

Fix it by making readahead only peek at the buffer cancelled state
rather than the full accounting that xlog_check_buffer_cancelled()
does.

      xfs: Register hotcpu notifier after initialization · 46677e67
      Richard Weinberger authored 
      Currently the code initializizes mp->m_icsb_mutex and other things
_after_ register_hotcpu_notifier().
As the notifier takes mp->m_icsb_mutex it can happen
that it takes the lock before it's initialization.

This support adds a feature bit for version 4 superblocks and
leaves the original superblock 5 incompatibility bit.

      xfs: Add write support for dirent filetype field · 1c55cece
      Dave Chinner authored 
      Add support to propagate and add filetype values into the on-disk
directs. This involves passing the filetype into the xfs_da_args
structure along with the name and namelength for direct operations,
and encoding it into the dirent at the same time we write the inode
number into the dirent.

With write support, add the feature flag to the
XFS_SB_FEAT_INCOMPAT_ALL mask so we can now mount filesystems with
this feature set.

Performance of directory recursion is now much improved. Parallel
walk of ~50 million directory entries across hundreds of directories
improves significantly. Unpatched, no CRCs:

Walking via ls -R

real    3m19.886s
user    6m36.960s
sys     28m19.087s

THis is doing roughly 500 getdents() calls per second, and 250,000
inode lookups per second to determine the inode type at roughly
17,000 read IOPS. CPU usage is 90% kernel space.

With dtype support patched in and the fileset recreated with CRCs
enabled:

Walking via ls -R

real    0m31.316s
user    6m32.975s
sys     0m21.111s

This is doing roughly 3500 getdents() calls per second at 16,000
IOPS. There are no inode lookups at all. CPU usages is almost 100%
userspace.

This is a big win for recursive directory walks that only need to
find file names and file types.

      xfs: Add read-only support for dirent filetype field · 0cb97766
      Dave Chinner authored 
      Add support for the file type field in directory entries so that
readdir can return the type of the inode the dirent points to to
userspace without first having to read the inode off disk.

The encoding of the type field is a single byte that is added to the
end of the directory entry name length. For all intents and
purposes, it appends a "hidden" byte to the name field which
contains the type information. As the directory entry is already of
dynamic size, helpers are already required to access and decode the
direct entry structures.

Hence the relevent extraction and iteration helpers are updated to
understand the hidden byte.  Helpers for reading and writing the
filetype field from the directory entries are also added. Only the
read helpers are used by this patch.  It also adds all the code
necessary to read the type information out of the dirents on disk.

Further we add the superblock feature bit and helpers to indicate
that we understand the on-disk format change. This is not a
compatible change - existing kernels cannot read the new format
successfully - so an incompatible feature flag is added. We don't
yet allow filesystems to mount with this flag yet - that will be
added once write support is added.

Finally, the code to take the type from the VFS, convert it to an
XFS on-disk type and put it into the xfs_name structures passed
around is added, but the directory code does not use this field yet.
That will be in the next patch.
