Pull GFS2 updates from Bob Peterson:
"We've got a whopping 29 GFS2 patches for this merge window, mainly
because we held some back from the previous merge window until we
could get them perfected and well tested. We have a couple patch sets,
including my patch set for protecting glock gl_object and Andreas
Gruenbacher's patch set to fix the long-standing shrink- slab hang,
plus a bunch of assorted bugs and cleanups.
Summary:
- I fixed a bug whereby an IO error would lead to a double-brelse.
- Andreas Gruenbacher made a minor cleanup to call his relatively new
function, gfs2_holder_initialized, rather than doing it manually.
This was just missed by a previous patch set.
- Jan Kara fixed a bug whereby the SGID was being cleared when
inheriting ACLs.
- Andreas found a bug and fixed it in his previous patch, "Get rid of
flush_delayed_work in gfs2_evict_inode". A call to
flush_delayed_work was deleted from *gfs2_inode_lookup and added to
gfs2_create_inode.
- Wang Xibo found and fixed a list_add call in inode_go_lock that
specified the parameters in the wrong order.
- Coly Li submitted a patch to add the REQ_PRIO to some of GFS2's
metadata reads that were accidentally missing them.
- I submitted a 4-patch set to protect the glock gl_object field.
GFS2 was setting and checking gl_object with no locking mechanism,
so the value was occasionally stomped on, which caused file system
corruption.
- I submitted a small cleanup to function gfs2_clear_rgrpd. It was
needlessly adding rgrp glocks to the lru list, then pulling them
back off immediately. The rgrp glocks don't use the lru list
anyway, so doing so was just a waste of time.
- I submitted a patch that checks the GLOF_LRU flag on a glock before
trying to remove it from the lru_list. This avoids a lot of
unnecessary spin_lock contention.
- I submitted a patch to delete GFS2's debugfs files only after we
evict all the glocks. Before this patch, GFS2 would delete the
debugfs files, and if unmount hung waiting for a glock, there was
no way to debug the problem. Now, if a hang occurs during umount,
we can examine the debugfs files to figure out why it's hung.
- Andreas Gruenbacher submitted a patch to fix some trivial typos.
- Andreas also submitted a five-part patch set to fix the
longstanding hang involving the slab shrinker: dlm requires memory,
calls the inode shrinker, which calls gfs2's evict, which calls
back into DLM before it can evict an inode.
- Abhi Das submitted a patch to forcibly flush the active items list
to relieve memory pressure. This fixes a long-standing bug whereby
GFS2 was getting hung permanently in balance_dirty_pages.
- Thomas Tai submitted a patch to fix a slab corruption problem due
to a residual pointer left in the lock_dlm lockstruct.
- I submitted a patch to withdraw the file system if IO errors are
encountered while writing to the journals or statfs system file
which were previously not being sent back up. Before, some IO
errors were sometimes not be detected for several hours, and at
recovery time, the journal errors made journal replay impossible.
- Andreas has a patch to fix an annoying format-truncation compiler
warning so GFS2 compiles cleanly.
- I have a patch that fixes a handful of sparse compiler warnings.
- Andreas fixed up an useless gl_object warning caused by an earlier
patch.
- Arvind Yadav added a patch to properly constify our rhashtable
params declare.
- I added a patch to fix a regression caused by the non-recursive
delete and truncate patch that caused file system blocks to not be
properly freed.
- Ernesto A. Fernández added a patch to fix a place where GFS2 would
send back the wrong return code setting extended attributes.
- Ernesto also added a patch to fix a case in which GFS2 was
improperly setting an inode's i_mode, potentially granting access
to the wrong users"

When changing a file's acl mask, __gfs2_set_acl() will first set the
group bits of i_mode to the value of the mask, and only then set the
actual extended attribute representing the new acl.
If the second part fails (due to lack of space, for example) and the
file had no acl attribute to begin with, the system will from now on
assume that the mask permission bits are actual group permission bits,
potentially granting access to the wrong users.
Prevent this by only changing the inode mode after the acl has been set.

The function __gfs2_xattr_set() will return -ENODATA when called to
remove a xattr that does not exist. The result is that setfacl will
show an exit status of 1 when called to set only a file's mode bits
(on a file with no ACLs), despite succeeding. A "No data available"
error will be printed as well.
To fix this return 0 instead, except when the XATTR_REPLACE flag is
set, in which case -ENODATA is appropriate. This is consistent with
how most other xattr setting functions work, in other filesystems.

Before this patch if you truncated a file to a smaller size it
wasn't freeing all the blocks properly. There are two reasons.
First, the metapath comparison was not comparing previous heights.
I added a function, mp_eq_to_hgt, which checks the metapath at
all heights prior to the target height.
Second, in function find_nonnull_ptr, it needed to zero out all
pointers for heights following the target height. Translated into
decimal integer terms, this way a number like 299, when incremented,
becomes 300, not 399. The 2 gets incremented to 3, and the following
digits need to be reset.
These two things allow the truncate state machine to properly find
the blocks it needs to delete.

Before this patch, if GFS2 encountered IO errors while writing to
the journal, it would not report the problem, so they would go
unnoticed, sometimes for many hours. Sometimes this would only be
noticed later, when recovery tried to do journal replay and failed
due to invalid metadata at the blocks that resulted in IO errors.
This patch makes GFS2's log daemon check for IO errors. If it
encounters one, it withdraws from the file system and reports
why in dmesg. A similar action is taken when IO errors occur when
writing to the system statfs file.
These errors are also reported back to any callers of fsync, since
that requires the journal to be flushed. Therefore, any IO errors
that would previously go unnoticed are now noticed and the file
system is withdrawn as early as possible, thus preventing further
file system damage.
Also note that this reintroduces superblock variable sd_log_error,
which Christoph removed with commit f729b66fca.

This way we don't need a block_device structure to submit I/O. The
block_device has different life time rules from the gendisk and
request_queue and is usually only available when the block device node
is open. Other callers need to explicitly create one (e.g. the lightnvm
passthrough code, or the new nvme multipathing code).
For the actual I/O path all that we need is the gendisk, which exists
once per block device. But given that the block layer also does
partition remapping we additionally need a partition index, which is
used for said remapping in generic_make_request.
Note that all the block drivers generally want request_queue or
sometimes the gendisk, so this removes a layer of indirection all
over the stack.

When using cman-3.0.12.1 and gfs2-utils-3.0.12.1, mounting and
unmounting GFS2 file system would cause kernel to hang. The slab
allocator suggests that it is likely a double free memory corruption.
The issue is traced back to v3.9-rc6 where a patch is submitted to
use kzalloc() for storing a bitmap instead of using a local variable.
The intention is to allocate memory during mount and to free memory
during unmount. The original patch misses a code path which has
already freed the memory and caused memory corruption. This patch sets
the memory pointer to NULL after the memory is freed, so that double
free memory corruption will not happen.
gdlm_mount()
'-- set_recover_size() which use kzalloc()
'-- if dlm does not support ops callbacks then
'--- free_recover_size() which use kfree()
gldm_unmount()

On systems with low memory, it is possible for gfs2 to infinitely
loop in balance_dirty_pages() under heavy IO (creating sparse files).
balance_dirty_pages() attempts to write out the dirty pages via
gfs2_writepages() but none are found because these dirty pages are
being used by the journaling code in the ail. Normally, the journal
has an upper threshold which when hit triggers an automatic flush
of the ail. But this threshold can be higher than the number of
allowable dirty pages and result in the ail never being flushed.
This patch forces an ail flush when gfs2_writepages() fails to write
anything. This is a good indication that the ail might be holding
some dirty pages.

gfs2_evict_inode is called to free inodes under memory pressure. The
function calls into DLM when an inode's last cluster-wide reference goes
away (remote unlink) and to release the glock and associated DLM lock
before finally destroying the inode. However, if DLM is blocked on
memory to become available, calling into DLM again will deadlock.
Avoid that by decoupling releasing glocks from destroying inodes in that
case: with gfs2_glock_queue_put, glocks will be dequeued asynchronously
in work queue context, when the associated inodes have likely already
been destroyed.
With this change, inodes can end up being unlinked, remote-unlink can be
triggered, and then the inode can be reallocated before all
remote-unlink callbacks are processed. To detect that, revalidate the
link count in gfs2_evict_inode to make sure we're not deleting an
allocated, referenced inode.

Remove gfs2_set_nlink which prevents the link count of an inode from
becoming non-zero once it has reached zero. The next commit reduces the
amount of waiting on glocks when an inode is evicted from memory. With
that, an inode can become reallocated before all the remote-unlink
callbacks from a previous delete are processed, which causes the link
count to change from zero to non-zero.

Before this patch, glock_dq would call gfs2_glock_remove_from_lru.
For glocks that are never put on the LRU, such as the transaction
glock, this just takes the spin_lock, determines there's nothing to
be done because the list is empty, then unlocks again. This was
causing unnecessary lock contention on the lru_lock spin_lock.
This patch adds a check for GLOF_LRU in the glops before taking
the spin_lock.

This patch adds some calls to clear gl_object in function
gfs2_delete_inode. Since we are deleting the inode, and the glock
typically outlives the inode in core, we must clear gl_object
so subsequent use of the glock (e.g. for a new inode in its place)
will not have the old pointer sitting there. In error cases we
need to tidy up after ourselves. In non-error cases, we need to
clear gl_object before we set the block free in the bitmap so
residules aren't left for potential inode creators.

Before this patch, the inode glock's gl_object was set after a
reference was acquired, but before the block type was verified.
In cases where the block was unlinked, then freed and reused on
another node, a residule delete callback (delete_work) would try
to look up the inode, eventually failing the block check, but
only after it overwrites gl_object with a pointer to the wrong
inode. This patch moves the assignment of gl_object after the
block check so it won't be improperly overwritten.
Likewise, at the end of the function, gfs2_inode_lookup was
clearing gl_object after it unlocked the glock, which meant
another process might free the glock in the meantime. This
patch guards against that case.

When gfs2 does metadata I/O, only REQ_META is used as a metadata hint of
the bio. But flag REQ_META is just a hint for block trace, not for block
layer code to handle a bio as metadata request.
For some of metadata I/Os of gfs2, A REQ_PRIO flag on the metadata bio
would be very informative to block layer code. For example, if bcache is
used as a I/O cache for gfs2, it will be possible for bcache code to get
the hint and cache the pre-fetched metadata blocks on cache device. This
behavior may be helpful to improve metadata I/O performance if the
following requests hit the cache.
Here are the locations in gfs2 code where a REQ_PRIO flag should be added,
- All places where REQ_READAHEAD is used, gfs2 code uses this flag for
metadata read ahead.
- In gfs2_meta_rq() where the first metadata block is read in.
- In gfs2_write_buf_to_page(), read in quota metadata blocks to have them
up to date.
These metadata blocks are probably to be accessed again in future, adding
a REQ_PRIO flag may have bcache to keep such metadata in fast cache
device. For system without a cache layer, REQ_PRIO can still provide hint
to block layer to handle metadata requests more properly.

When new directory 'DIR1' is created in a directory 'DIR0' with SGID bit
set, DIR1 is expected to have SGID bit set (and owning group equal to
the owning group of 'DIR0'). However when 'DIR0' also has some default
ACLs that 'DIR1' inherits, setting these ACLs will result in SGID bit on
'DIR1' to get cleared if user is not member of the owning group.
Fix the problem by moving posix_acl_update_mode() out of
__gfs2_set_acl() into gfs2_set_acl(). That way the function will not be
called when inheriting ACLs which is what we want as it prevents SGID
bit clearing and the mode has been properly set by posix_acl_create()
anyway.

Before this patch, problems reading in indirect buffers would send
an IO error back to the caller, and release the buffer_head with
brelse() in function gfs2_meta_indirect_buffer, however, it would
still return the address of the buffer_head it released. After the
error was discovered, function gfs2_block_map would call function
release_metapath to free all buffers. That checked:
if (mp->mp_bh[i] == NULL) but since the value was set after the
error, it was non-zero, so brelse was called a second time. This
resulted in the following error:
kernel: WARNING: at fs/buffer.c:1224 __brelse+0x3a/0x40() (Tainted: G W -- ------------ )
kernel: Hardware name: RHEV Hypervisor

Pull Writeback error handling updates from Jeff Layton:
"This pile represents the bulk of the writeback error handling fixes
that I have for this cycle. Some of the earlier patches in this pile
may look trivial but they are prerequisites for later patches in the
series.
The aim of this set is to improve how we track and report writeback
errors to userland. Most applications that care about data integrity
will periodically call fsync/fdatasync/msync to ensure that their
writes have made it to the backing store.
For a very long time, we have tracked writeback errors using two flags
in the address_space: AS_EIO and AS_ENOSPC. Those flags are set when a
writeback error occurs (via mapping_set_error) and are cleared as a
side-effect of filemap_check_errors (as you noted yesterday). This
model really sucks for userland.
Only the first task to call fsync (or msync or fdatasync) will see the
error. Any subsequent task calling fsync on a file will get back 0
(unless another writeback error occurs in the interim). If I have
several tasks writing to a file and calling fsync to ensure that their
writes got stored, then I need to have them coordinate with one
another. That's difficult enough, but in a world of containerized
setups that coordination may even not be possible.
But wait...it gets worse!
The calls to filemap_check_errors can be buried pretty far down in the
call stack, and there are internal callers of filemap_write_and_wait
and the like that also end up clearing those errors. Many of those
callers ignore the error return from that function or return it to
userland at nonsensical times (e.g. truncate() or stat()). If I get
back -EIO on a truncate, there is no reason to think that it was
because some previous writeback failed, and a subsequent fsync() will
(incorrectly) return 0.
This pile aims to do three things:
1) ensure that when a writeback error occurs that that error will be
reported to userland on a subsequent fsync/fdatasync/msync call,
regardless of what internal callers are doing
2) report writeback errors on all file descriptions that were open at
the time that the error occurred. This is a user-visible change,
but I think most applications are written to assume this behavior
anyway. Those that aren't are unlikely to be hurt by it.
3) document what filesystems should do when there is a writeback
error. Today, there is very little consistency between them, and a
lot of cargo-cult copying. We need to make it very clear what
filesystems should do in this situation.
To achieve this, the set adds a new data type (errseq_t) and then
builds new writeback error tracking infrastructure around that. Once
all of that is in place, we change the filesystems to use the new
infrastructure for reporting wb errors to userland.
Note that this is just the initial foray into cleaning up this mess.
There is a lot of work remaining here:
1) convert the rest of the filesystems in a similar fashion. Once the
initial set is in, then I think most other fs' will be fairly
simple to convert. Hopefully most of those can in via individual
filesystem trees.
2) convert internal waiters on writeback to use errseq_t for
detecting errors instead of relying on the AS_* flags. I have some
draft patches for this for ext4, but they are not quite ready for
prime time yet.
This was a discussion topic this year at LSF/MM too. If you're
interested in the gory details, LWN has some good articles about this:

Before commit 88ffbf3e03 "GFS2: Use resizable hash table for glocks",
glocks were freed via call_rcu to allow reading the glock hashtable
locklessly using rcu. This was then changed to free glocks immediately,
which made reading the glock hashtable unsafe. Bring back the original
code for freeing glocks via call_rcu.

I noticed on xfs that I could still sometimes get back an error on fsync
on a fd that was opened after the error condition had been cleared.
The problem is that the buffer code sets the write_io_error flag and
then later checks that flag to set the error in the mapping. That flag
perisists for quite a while however. If the file is later opened with
O_TRUNC, the buffers will then be invalidated and the mapping's error
set such that a subsequent fsync will return error. I think this is
incorrect, as there was no writeback between the open and fsync.
Add a new mark_buffer_write_io_error operation that sets the flag and
the error in the mapping at the same time. Replace all calls to
set_buffer_write_io_error with mark_buffer_write_io_error, and remove
the places that check this flag in order to set the error in the
mapping.
This sets the error in the mapping earlier, at the time that it's first
detected.

Pull GFS2 updates from Bob Peterson:
"We've got eight GFS2 patches for this merge window:
- Andreas Gruenbacher has four patches related to cleaning up the
GFS2 inode evict process. This is about half of his patches
designed to fix a long-standing GFS2 hang related to the inode
shrinker: Shrinker calls gfs2 evict, evict calls DLM, DLM requires
memory and blocks on the shrinker.
These four patches have been well tested. His second set of patches
are still being tested, so I plan to hold them until the next merge
window, after we have more weeks of testing. The first patch
eliminates the flush_delayed_work, which can block.
- Andreas's second patch protects setting of gl_object for rgrps with
a spin_lock to prevent proven races.
- His third patch introduces a centralized mechanism for queueing
glock work with better reference counting, to prevent more races.
-His fourth patch retains a reference to inode glocks when an error
occurs while creating an inode. This keeps the subsequent evict
from needing to reacquire the glock, which might call into DLM and
block in low memory conditions.
- Arvind Yadav has a patch to add const to attribute_group
structures.
- I have a patch to detect directory entry inconsistencies and
withdraw the file system if any are found. Better that than silent
corruption.
- I have a patch to remove a vestigial variable from glock
structures, saving some slab space.
- I have another patch to remove a vestigial variable from the GFS2
in-core superblock structure"

attribute_groups are not supposed to change at runtime. All functions
working with attribute_groups provided by <linux/sysfs.h> work with const
attribute_group. So mark the non-const structs as const.

On failure, keep the inode glock across the final iput of the new inode
so that gfs2_evict_inode doesn't have to re-acquire the glock. That
way, gfs2_evict_inode won't need to revalidate the block type.

So far, gfs2_evict_inode clears gl->gl_object and then flushes the glock
work queue to make sure that inode glops which dereference gl->gl_object
have finished running before the inode is destroyed. However, flushing
the work queue may do more work than needed, and in particular, it may
call into DLM, which we want to avoid here. Use a bit lock
(GIF_GLOP_PENDING) to synchronize between the inode glops and
gfs2_evict_inode instead to get rid of the flushing.
In addition, flush the work queues of existing glocks before reusing
them for new inodes to get those glocks into a known state: the glock
state engine currently doesn't handle glock re-appropriation correctly.
(We may be able to fix the glock state engine instead later.)
