2021-07-29xfs: fix ordering violation between cache flushes and tail updatesDave Chinner
There is a race between the new CIL async data device metadata IO completion cache flush and the log tail in the iclog the flush covers being updated. This can be seen by repeating generic/482 in a loop and eventually log recovery fails with a failures such as this: XFS (dm-3): Starting recovery (logdev: internal) XFS (dm-3): bad inode magic/vsn daddr 228352 #0 (magic=0) XFS (dm-3): Metadata corruption detected at xfs_inode_buf_verify+0x180/0x190, xfs_inode block 0x37c00 xfs_inode_buf_verify XFS (dm-3): Unmount and run xfs_repair XFS (dm-3): First 128 bytes of corrupted metadata buffer: 00000000: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ 00000010: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ 00000020: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ 00000030: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ 00000040: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ 00000050: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ 00000060: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ 00000070: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ XFS (dm-3): metadata I/O error in "xlog_recover_items_pass2+0x55/0xc0" at daddr 0x37c00 len 32 error 117 Analysis of the logwrite replay shows that there were no writes to the data device between the FUA @ write 124 and the FUA at write @ 125, but log recovery @ 125 failed. The difference was the one log write @ 125 moved the tail of the log forwards from (1,8) to (1,32) and so the inode create intent in (1,8) was not replayed and so the inode cluster was zero on disk when replay of the first inode item in (1,32) was attempted. What this meant was that the journal write that occurred at @ 125 did not ensure that metadata completed before the iclog was written was correctly on stable storage. The tail of the log moved forward, so IO must have been completed between the two iclog writes. This means that there is a race condition between the unconditional async cache flush in the CIL push work and the tail LSN that is written to the iclog. This happens like so: CIL push work AIL push work ------------- ------------- Add to committing list start async data dev cache flush ..... <flush completes> <all writes to old tail lsn are stable> xlog_write .... push inode create buffer <start IO> ..... xlog_write(commit record) .... <IO completes> log tail moves xlog_assign_tail_lsn() start_lsn == commit_lsn <no iclog preflush!> xlog_state_release_iclog __xlog_state_release_iclog() <writes *new* tail_lsn into iclog> xlog_sync() .... submit_bio() <tail in log moves forward without flushing written metadata> Essentially, this can only occur if the commit iclog is issued without a cache flush. If the iclog bio is submitted with REQ_PREFLUSH, then it will guarantee that all the completed IO is one stable storage before the iclog bio with the new tail LSN in it is written to the log. IOWs, the tail lsn that is written to the iclog needs to be sampled *before* we issue the cache flush that guarantees all IO up to that LSN has been completed. To fix this without giving up the performance advantage of the flush/FUA optimisations (e.g. g/482 runtime halves with 5.14-rc1 compared to 5.13), we need to ensure that we always issue a cache flush if the tail LSN changes between the initial async flush and the commit record being written. THis requires sampling the tail_lsn before we start the flush, and then passing the sampled tail LSN to xlog_state_release_iclog() so it can determine if the the tail LSN has changed while writing the checkpoint. If the tail LSN has changed, then it needs to set the NEED_FLUSH flag on the iclog and we'll issue another cache flush before writing the iclog.

2021-06-25xfs: Fix a CIL UAF by getting get rid of the iclog callback lockDave Chinner
The iclog callback chain has it's own lock. That was added way back in 2008 by myself to alleviate severe lock contention on the icloglock in commit 114d23aae512 ("[XFS] Per iclog callback chain lock"). This was long before delayed logging took the icloglock out of the hot transaction commit path and removed all contention on it. Hence the separate ic_callback_lock doesn't serve any scalability purpose anymore, and hasn't for close on a decade. Further, we only attach callbacks to iclogs in one place where we are already taking the icloglock soon after attaching the callbacks. We also have to drop the icloglock to run callbacks and grab it immediately afterwards again. So given that the icloglock is no longer hot, making it cover callbacks again doesn't really change the locking patterns very much at all. We also need to extend the icloglock to cover callback addition to fix a zero-day UAF in the CIL push code. This occurs when shutdown races with xlog_cil_push_work() and the shutdown runs the callbacks before the push releases the iclog. This results in the CIL context structure attached to the iclog being freed by the callback before the CIL push has finished referencing it, leading to UAF bugs. Hence, to avoid this UAF, we need the callback attachment to be atomic with post processing of the commit iclog and references to the structures being attached to the iclog. This requires holding the icloglock as that's the only way to serialise iclog state against a shutdown in progress. The result is we need to be using the icloglock to protect the callback list addition and removal and serialise them with shutdown. That makes the ic_callback_lock redundant and so it can be removed.

2021-06-21xfs: xfs_log_force_lsn isn't passed a LSNDave Chinner
In doing an investigation into AIL push stalls, I was looking at the log force code to see if an async CIL push could be done instead. This lead me to xfs_log_force_lsn() and looking at how it works. xfs_log_force_lsn() is only called from inode synchronisation contexts such as fsync(), and it takes the ip->i_itemp->ili_last_lsn value as the LSN to sync the log to. This gets passed to xlog_cil_force_lsn() via xfs_log_force_lsn() to flush the CIL to the journal, and then used by xfs_log_force_lsn() to flush the iclogs to the journal. The problem is that ip->i_itemp->ili_last_lsn does not store a log sequence number. What it stores is passed to it from the ->iop_committing method, which is called by xfs_log_commit_cil(). The value this passes to the iop_committing method is the CIL context sequence number that the item was committed to. As it turns out, xlog_cil_force_lsn() converts the sequence to an actual commit LSN for the related context and returns that to xfs_log_force_lsn(). xfs_log_force_lsn() overwrites it's "lsn" variable that contained a sequence with an actual LSN and then uses that to sync the iclogs. This caused me some confusion for a while, even though I originally wrote all this code a decade ago. ->iop_committing is only used by a couple of log item types, and only inode items use the sequence number it is passed. Let's clean up the API, CIL structures and inode log item to call it a sequence number, and make it clear that the high level code is using CIL sequence numbers and not on-disk LSNs for integrity synchronisation purposes.

2021-06-21xfs: journal IO cache flush reductionsDave Chinner
Currently every journal IO is issued as REQ_PREFLUSH | REQ_FUA to guarantee the ordering requirements the journal has w.r.t. metadata writeback. THe two ordering constraints are: 1. we cannot overwrite metadata in the journal until we guarantee that the dirty metadata has been written back in place and is stable. 2. we cannot write back dirty metadata until it has been written to the journal and guaranteed to be stable (and hence recoverable) in the journal. The ordering guarantees of #1 are provided by REQ_PREFLUSH. This causes the journal IO to issue a cache flush and wait for it to complete before issuing the write IO to the journal. Hence all completed metadata IO is guaranteed to be stable before the journal overwrites the old metadata. The ordering guarantees of #2 are provided by the REQ_FUA, which ensures the journal writes do not complete until they are on stable storage. Hence by the time the last journal IO in a checkpoint completes, we know that the entire checkpoint is on stable storage and we can unpin the dirty metadata and allow it to be written back. This is the mechanism by which ordering was first implemented in XFS way back in 2002 by commit 95d97c36e5155075ba2eb22b17562cfcc53fcf96 ("Add support for drive write cache flushing") in the xfs-archive tree. A lot has changed since then, most notably we now use delayed logging to checkpoint the filesystem to the journal rather than write each individual transaction to the journal. Cache flushes on journal IO are necessary when individual transactions are wholly contained within a single iclog. However, CIL checkpoints are single transactions that typically span hundreds to thousands of individual journal writes, and so the requirements for device cache flushing have changed. That is, the ordering rules I state above apply to ordering of atomic transactions recorded in the journal, not to the journal IO itself. Hence we need to ensure metadata is stable before we start writing a new transaction to the journal (guarantee #1), and we need to ensure the entire transaction is stable in the journal before we start metadata writeback (guarantee #2). Hence we only need a REQ_PREFLUSH on the journal IO that starts a new journal transaction to provide #1, and it is not on any other journal IO done within the context of that journal transaction. The CIL checkpoint already issues a cache flush before it starts writing to the log, so we no longer need the iclog IO to issue a REQ_REFLUSH for us. Hence if XLOG_START_TRANS is passed to xlog_write(), we no longer need to mark the first iclog in the log write with REQ_PREFLUSH for this case. As an added bonus, this ordering mechanism works for both internal and external logs, meaning we can remove the explicit data device cache flushes from the iclog write code when using external logs. Given the new ordering semantics of commit records for the CIL, we need iclogs containing commit records to issue a REQ_PREFLUSH. We also require unmount records to do this. Hence for both XLOG_COMMIT_TRANS and XLOG_UNMOUNT_TRANS xlog_write() calls we need to mark the first iclog being written with REQ_PREFLUSH. For both commit records and unmount records, we also want them immediately on stable storage, so we want to also mark the iclogs that contain these records to be marked REQ_FUA. That means if a record is split across multiple iclogs, they are all marked REQ_FUA and not just the last one so that when the transaction is completed all the parts of the record are on stable storage. And for external logs, unmount records need a pre-write data device cache flush similar to the CIL checkpoint cache pre-flush as the internal iclog write code does not do this implicitly anymore. As an optimisation, when the commit record lands in the same iclog as the journal transaction starts, we don't need to wait for anything and can simply use REQ_FUA to provide guarantee #2. This means that for fsync() heavy workloads, the cache flush behaviour is completely unchanged and there is no degradation in performance as a result of optimise the multi-IO transaction case. The most notable sign that there is less IO latency on my test machine (nvme SSDs) is that the "noiclogs" rate has dropped substantially. This metric indicates that the CIL push is blocking in xlog_get_iclog_space() waiting for iclog IO completion to occur. With 8 iclogs of 256kB, the rate is appoximately 1 noiclog event to every 4 iclog writes. IOWs, every 4th call to xlog_get_iclog_space() is blocking waiting for log IO. With the changes in this patch, this drops to 1 noiclog event for every 100 iclog writes. Hence it is clear that log IO is completing much faster than it was previously, but it is also clear that for large iclog sizes, this isn't the performance limiting factor on this hardware. With smaller iclogs (32kB), however, there is a substantial difference. With the cache flush modifications, the journal is now running at over 4000 write IOPS, and the journal throughput is largely identical to the 256kB iclogs and the noiclog event rate stays low at about 1:50 iclog writes. The existing code tops out at about 2500 IOPS as the number of cache flushes dominate performance and latency. The noiclog event rate is about 1:4, and the performance variance is quite large as the journal throughput can fall to less than half the peak sustained rate when the cache flush rate prevents metadata writeback from keeping up and the log runs out of space and throttles reservations. As a result: logbsize fsmark create rate rm -rf before 32kb 152851+/-5.3e+04 5m28s patched 32kb 221533+/-1.1e+04 5m24s before 256kb 220239+/-6.2e+03 4m58s patched 256kb 228286+/-9.2e+03 5m06s The rm -rf times are included because I ran them, but the differences are largely noise. This workload is largely metadata read IO latency bound and the changes to the journal cache flushing doesn't really make any noticable difference to behaviour apart from a reduction in noiclog events from background CIL pushing.

2021-06-18xfs: separate CIL commit record IODave Chinner
To allow for iclog IO device cache flush behaviour to be optimised, we first need to separate out the commit record iclog IO from the rest of the checkpoint so we can wait for the checkpoint IO to complete before we issue the commit record. This separation is only necessary if the commit record is being written into a different iclog to the start of the checkpoint as the upcoming cache flushing changes requires completion ordering against the other iclogs submitted by the checkpoint. If the entire checkpoint and commit is in the one iclog, then they are both covered by the one set of cache flush primitives on the iclog and hence there is no need to separate them for ordering. Otherwise, we need to wait for all the previous iclogs to complete so they are ordered correctly and made stable by the REQ_PREFLUSH that the commit record iclog IO issues. This guarantees that if a reader sees the commit record in the journal, they will also see the entire checkpoint that commit record closes off. This also provides the guarantee that when the commit record IO completes, we can safely unpin all the log items in the checkpoint so they can be written back because the entire checkpoint is stable in the journal.

2020-03-27xfs: Throttle commits on delayed background CIL pushDave Chinner
In certain situations the background CIL push can be indefinitely delayed. While we have workarounds from the obvious cases now, it doesn't solve the underlying issue. This issue is that there is no upper limit on the CIL where we will either force or wait for a background push to start, hence allowing the CIL to grow without bound until it consumes all log space. To fix this, add a new wait queue to the CIL which allows background pushes to wait for the CIL context to be switched out. This happens when the push starts, so it will allow us to block incoming transaction commit completion until the push has started. This will only affect processes that are running modifications, and only when the CIL threshold has been significantly overrun. This has no apparent impact on performance, and doesn't even trigger until over 45 million inodes had been created in a 16-way fsmark test on a 2GB log. That was limiting at 64MB of log space used, so the active CIL size is only about 3% of the total log in that case. The concurrent removal of those files did not trigger the background sleep at all.

2020-03-27xfs: Lower CIL flush limit for large logsDave Chinner
The current CIL size aggregation limit is 1/8th the log size. This means for large logs we might be aggregating at least 250MB of dirty objects in memory before the CIL is flushed to the journal. With CIL shadow buffers sitting around, this means the CIL is often consuming >500MB of temporary memory that is all allocated under GFP_NOFS conditions. Flushing the CIL can take some time to do if there is other IO ongoing, and can introduce substantial log force latency by itself. It also pins the memory until the objects are in the AIL and can be written back and reclaimed by shrinkers. Hence this threshold also tends to determine the minimum amount of memory XFS can operate in under heavy modification without triggering the OOM killer. Modify the CIL space limit to prevent such huge amounts of pinned metadata from aggregating. We can have 2MB of log IO in flight at once, so limit aggregation to 16x this size. This threshold was chosen as it little impact on performance (on 16-way fsmark) or log traffic but pins a lot less memory on large logs especially under heavy memory pressure. An aggregation limit of 8x had 5-10% performance degradation and a 50% increase in log throughput for the same workload, so clearly that was too small for highly concurrent workloads on large logs. This was found via trace analysis of AIL behaviour. e.g. insertion from a single CIL flush: xfs_ail_insert: old lsn 0/0 new lsn 1/3033090 type XFS_LI_INODE flags IN_AIL $ grep xfs_ail_insert /mnt/scratch/s.t |grep "new lsn 1/3033090" |wc -l 1721823 $ So there were 1.7 million objects inserted into the AIL from this CIL checkpoint, the first at 2323.392108, the last at 2325.667566 which was the end of the trace (i.e. it hadn't finished). Clearly a major problem.

The xlog_write() function iterates over iclogs until it completes writing all the log vectors passed in. The ticket tracks whether a start record has been written or not, so only the first iclog gets a start record. We only ever pass single use tickets to xlog_write() so we only ever need to write a start record once per xlog_write() call.

2017-06-19xfs: dump transaction usage details on log reservation overrunBrian Foster
If a transaction log reservation overrun occurs, the ticket data associated with the reservation is dumped in xfs_log_commit_cil(). This occurs long after the transaction items and details have been removed from the transaction and effectively lost. This limited set of ticket data provides very little information to support debugging transaction overruns based on the typical report. To improve transaction log reservation overrun reporting, create a helper to dump transaction details such as log items, log vector data, etc., as well as the underlying ticket data for the transaction. Move the overrun detection from xfs_log_commit_cil() to xlog_cil_insert_items() so it occurs prior to migration of the logged items to the CIL. Call the new helper such that it is able to dump this transaction data before it is lost. Also, warn on overrun to provide callstack context for the offending transaction and include a few additional messages from xlog_cil_insert_items() to display the reservation consumed locally for overhead such as log vector headers, split region headers and the context ticket. This provides a complete general breakdown of the reservation consumption of a transaction when/if it happens to overrun the reservation.

2016-09-26xfs: rework log recovery to submit buffers on LSN boundariesBrian Foster
The fix to log recovery to update the metadata LSN in recovered buffers introduces the requirement that a buffer is submitted only once per current LSN. Log recovery currently submits buffers on transaction boundaries. This is not sufficient as the abstraction between log records and transactions allows for various scenarios where multiple transactions can share the same current LSN. If independent transactions share an LSN and both modify the same buffer, log recovery can incorrectly skip updates and leave the filesystem in an inconsisent state. In preparation for proper metadata LSN updates during log recovery, update log recovery to submit buffers for write on LSN change boundaries rather than transaction boundaries. Explicitly track the current LSN in a new struct xlog field to handle the various corner cases of when the current LSN may or may not change.

2016-01-05xfs: debug mode log record crc error injectionBrian Foster
XFS now uses CRC verification over a limited section of the log to detect torn writes prior to a crash. This is difficult to test directly due to the timing and hardware requirements to cause a short write. Add a mechanism to inject CRC errors into log records to facilitate testing torn write detection during log recovery. This mechanism is dangerous and can result in filesystem corruption. Thus, it is only available in DEBUG mode for testing/development purposes. Set a non-zero value to the following sysfs entry to enable error injection: /sys/fs/xfs/<dev>/log/log_badcrc_factor Once enabled, XFS intentionally writes an invalid CRC to a log record at some random point in the future based on the provided frequency. The filesystem immediately shuts down once the record has been written to the physical log to prevent metadata writeback (e.g., AIL insertion) once the log write completes. This helps reasonably simulate a torn write to the log as the affected record must be safe to discard. The next mount after the intentional shutdown requires log recovery and should detect and recover from the torn write. Note again that this _will_ result in data loss or worse.

2015-10-12xfs: validate metadata LSNs against log on v5 superblocksBrian Foster
Since the onset of v5 superblocks, the LSN of the last modification has been included in a variety of on-disk data structures. This LSN is used to provide log recovery ordering guarantees (e.g., to ensure an older log recovery item is not replayed over a newer target data structure). While this works correctly from the point a filesystem is formatted and mounted, userspace tools have some problematic behaviors that defeat this mechanism. For example, xfs_repair historically zeroes out the log unconditionally (regardless of whether corruption is detected). If this occurs, the LSN of the filesystem is reset and the log is now in a problematic state with respect to on-disk metadata structures that might have a larger LSN. Until either the log catches up to the highest previously used metadata LSN or each affected data structure is modified and written out without incident (which resets the metadata LSN), log recovery is susceptible to filesystem corruption. This problem is ultimately addressed and repaired in the associated userspace tools. The kernel is still responsible to detect the problem and notify the user that something is wrong. Check the superblock LSN at mount time and fail the mount if it is invalid. From that point on, trigger verifier failure on any metadata I/O where an invalid LSN is detected. This results in a filesystem shutdown and guarantees that we do not log metadata changes with invalid LSNs on disk. Since this is a known issue with a known recovery path, present a warning to instruct the user how to recover.

2015-08-19xfs: don't leave EFIs on AIL on mount failureBrian Foster
Log recovery occurs in two phases at mount time. In the first phase, EFIs and EFDs are processed and potentially cancelled out. EFIs without EFD objects are inserted into the AIL for processing and recovery in the second phase. xfs_mountfs() runs various other operations between the phases and is thus subject to failure. If failure occurs after the first phase but before the second, pending EFIs sit on the AIL, pin it and cause the mount to hang. Update the mount sequence to ensure that pending EFIs are cancelled in the event of failure. Add a recovery cancellation mechanism to iterate the AIL and cancel all EFI items when requested. Plumb cancellation support through the log mount finish helper and update xfs_mountfs() to invoke cancellation in the event of failure after recovery has started.

In doing this, remove the direct include of xfs_trans_reserve.h from xfs_trans.h so that we remove the dependency between xfs_trans.h and xfs_mount.h. Hence the xfs_trans.h include can be moved to the indicate the actual dependencies other header files have on it.

2013-10-17xfs: prevent deadlock trying to cover an active logDave Chinner
Recent analysis of a deadlocked XFS filesystem from a kernel crash dump indicated that the filesystem was stuck waiting for log space. The short story of the hang on the RHEL6 kernel is this: - the tail of the log is pinned by an inode - the inode has been pushed by the xfsaild - the inode has been flushed to it's backing buffer and is currently flush locked and hence waiting for backing buffer IO to complete and remove it from the AIL - the backing buffer is marked for write - it is on the delayed write queue - the inode buffer has been modified directly and logged recently due to unlinked inode list modification - the backing buffer is pinned in memory as it is in the active CIL context. - the xfsbufd won't start buffer writeback because it is pinned - xfssyncd won't force the log because it sees the log as needing to be covered and hence wants to issue a dummy transaction to move the log covering state machine along. Hence there is no trigger to force the CIL to the log and hence unpin the inode buffer and therefore complete the inode IO, remove it from the AIL and hence move the tail of the log along, allowing transactions to start again. Mainline kernels also have the same deadlock, though the signature is slightly different - the inode buffer never reaches the delayed write lists because xfs_buf_item_push() sees that it is pinned and hence never adds it to the delayed write list that the xfsaild flushes. There are two possible solutions here. The first is to simply force the log before trying to cover the log and so ensure that the CIL is emptied before we try to reserve space for the dummy transaction in the xfs_log_worker(). While this might work most of the time, it is still racy and is no guarantee that we don't get stuck in xfs_trans_reserve waiting for log space to come free. Hence it's not the best way to solve the problem. The second solution is to modify xfs_log_need_covered() to be aware of the CIL. We only should be attempting to cover the log if there is no current activity in the log - covering the log is the process of ensuring that the head and tail in the log on disk are identical (i.e. the log is clean and at idle). Hence, by definition, if there are items in the CIL then the log is not at idle and so we don't need to attempt to cover it. When we don't need to cover the log because it is active or idle, we issue a log force from xfs_log_worker() - if the log is idle, then this does nothing. However, if the log is active due to there being items in the CIL, it will force the items in the CIL to the log and unpin them. In the case of the above deadlock scenario, instead of xfs_log_worker() getting stuck in xfs_trans_reserve() attempting to cover the log, it will instead force the log, thereby unpinning the inode buffer, allowing IO to be issued and complete and hence removing the inode that was pinning the tail of the log from the AIL. At that point, everything will start moving along again. i.e. the xfs_log_worker turns back into a watchdog that can alleviate deadlocks based around pinned items that prevent the tail of the log from being moved...
