gfs2: Fix freeze consistency check in log_write_header

Functions gfs2_freeze_super() and gfs2_thaw_super() are using the
SDF_FROZEN flag to indicate when the filesystem is frozen, synchronized
by sd_freeze_mutex. However, this doesn't prevent writes from happening
between the point of calling thaw_super() and the point where the
SDF_FROZEN flag is cleared, so the following assert can trigger in
log_write_header():

gfs2_assert_withdraw(sdp, !test_bit(SDF_FROZEN, &sdp->sd_flags));

Fix that by checking for sb->s_writers.frozen != SB_FREEZE_COMPLETE in
log_write_header() instead. To make sure that the filesystem-specific
part of freezing happens before sb->s_writers.frozen is set to
SB_FREEZE_COMPLETE, move that code from gfs2_freeze_locally() into
gfs2_freeze_fs() and hook that up to the .freeze_fs operation.

gfs2: Use wait_event_freezable_timeout() for freezable kthread

A freezable kernel thread can enter frozen state during freezing by
either calling try_to_freeze() or using wait_event_freezable() and its
variants. So for the following snippet of code in a kernel thread loop:
try_to_freeze();
wait_event_interruptible_timeout();

We can change it to a simple wait_event_freezable_timeout() and then
eliminate a function call.

gfs2: Add missing set_freezable() for freezable kthread

The kernel thread function gfs2_logd() and gfs2_quotad() invoke the
try_to_freeze() in its loop. But all the kernel threads are no-freezable
by default. So if we want to make a kernel thread to be freezable,
we have to invoke set_freezable() explicitly.

gfs2: Lift withdraw check out of gfs2_ail1_empty

Lift the check for the SDF_WITHDRAWING flag out of gfs2_ail1_empty() and
into its callers. This is needed so that gfs2_flush_revokes() can drop
the sd_log_lock spinlock before triggering a withdraw if necessary.

Instead of checking for the SDF_WITHDRAWING flag, use
gfs2_withdrawing(). Also, the low-level code triggering the delayed
withdraw reports when there is a problem, so there is no need to report
that again.

gfs2: low-memory forced flush fixes

First, function gfs2_ail_flush_reqd checks the SDF_FORCE_AIL_FLUSH flag
to determine if an AIL flush should be forced in low-memory situations.
However, it also immediately clears the flag, and when called repeatedly
as in function gfs2_logd, the flag will be lost. Fix that by pulling
the SDF_FORCE_AIL_FLUSH flag check out of gfs2_ail_flush_reqd.

Second, function gfs2_writepages sets the SDF_FORCE_AIL_FLUSH flag
whether or not enough pages were written. If enough pages could be
written, flushing the AIL is unnecessary, though.

Third, gfs2_writepages doesn't wake up logd after setting the
SDF_FORCE_AIL_FLUSH flag, so it can take a long time for logd to react.
It would be preferable to wake up logd, but that hurts the performance
of some workloads and we don't quite understand why so far, so don't
wake up logd so far.

gfs2: Rework freeze / thaw logic

So far, at mount time, gfs2 would take the freeze glock in shared mode
and then immediately drop it again, turning it into a cached glock that
can be reclaimed at any time. To freeze the filesystem cluster-wide,
the node initiating the freeze would take the freeze glock in exclusive
mode, which would cause the freeze glock's freeze_go_sync() callback to
run on each node. There, gfs2 would freeze the filesystem and schedule
gfs2_freeze_func() to run. gfs2_freeze_func() would re-acquire the
freeze glock in shared mode, thaw the filesystem, and drop the freeze
glock again. The initiating node would keep the freeze glock held in
exclusive mode. To thaw the filesystem, the initiating node would drop
the freeze glock again, which would allow gfs2_freeze_func() to resume
on all nodes, leaving the filesystem in the thawed state.

It turns out that in freeze_go_sync(), we cannot reliably and safely
freeze the filesystem. This is primarily because the final unmount of a
filesystem takes a write lock on the s_umount rw semaphore before
calling into gfs2_put_super(), and freeze_go_sync() needs to call
freeze_super() which also takes a write lock on the same semaphore,
causing a deadlock. We could work around this by trying to take an
active reference on the super block first, which would prevent unmount
from running at the same time. But that can fail, and freeze_go_sync()
isn't actually allowed to fail.

To get around this, this patch changes the freeze glock locking scheme
as follows:

At mount time, each node takes the freeze glock in shared mode. To
freeze a filesystem, the initiating node first freezes the filesystem
locally and then drops and re-acquires the freeze glock in exclusive
mode. All other nodes notice that there is contention on the freeze
glock in their go_callback callbacks, and they schedule
gfs2_freeze_func() to run. There, they freeze the filesystem locally
and drop and re-acquire the freeze glock before re-thawing the
filesystem. This is happening outside of the glock state engine, so
there, we are allowed to fail.

From a cluster point of view, taking and immediately dropping a glock is
indistinguishable from taking the glock and only dropping it upon
contention, so this new scheme is compatible with the old one.

Thanks to Li Dong <lidong@vivo.com> for reporting a locking bug in
gfs2_freeze_func() in a previous version of this commit.

Revert "gfs2: stop using generic_writepages in gfs2_ail1_start_one"

Commit b2b0a5e97855 switched from generic_writepages() to
filemap_fdatawrite_wbc() in gfs2_ail1_start_one() on the path to
replacing ->writepage() with ->writepages() and eventually eliminating
the former. Function gfs2_ail1_start_one() is called from
gfs2_log_flush(), our main function for flushing the filesystem log.

Unfortunately, at least as implemented today, ->writepage() and
->writepages() are entirely different operations for journaled data
inodes: while the former creates and submits transactions covering the
data to be written, the latter flushes dirty buffers out to disk.

With gfs2_ail1_start_one() now calling ->writepages(), we end up
creating filesystem transactions while we are in the course of a log
flush, which immediately deadlocks on the sdp->sd_log_flush_lock
semaphore.

Work around that by going back to how things used to work before commit
b2b0a5e97855 for now; figuring out a superior solution will take time we
don't have available right now. However ...

Since the removal of generic_writepages() is imminent, open-code it
here. We're already inside a blk_start_plug() ... blk_finish_plug()
section here, so skip that part of the original generic_writepages().

This reverts commit b2b0a5e978552e348f85ad9c7568b630a5ede659.

treewide: Change list_sort to use const pointers

list_sort() internally casts the comparison function passed to it

uses this pointer to call the functions, which trips indirect call
Control-Flow Integrity (CFI) checking.

Instead of removing the consts, this change defines the

gfs2: Per-revoke accounting in transactions

In the log, revokes are stored as a revoke descriptor (struct
gfs2_log_descriptor), followed by zero or more additional revoke blocks
(struct gfs2_meta_header). On filesystems with a blocksize of 4k, the
revoke descriptor contains up to 503 revokes, and the metadata blocks
contain up to 509 revokes each. We've so far been reserving space for
revokes in transactions in block granularity, so a lot more space than
necessary was being allocated and then released again.

This patch switches to assigning revokes to transactions individually
instead. Initially, space for the revoke descriptor is reserved and
handed out to transactions. When more revokes than that are reserved,
additional revoke blocks are added. When the log is flushed, the space
for the additional revoke blocks is released, but we keep the space for
the revoke descriptor block allocated.

Transactions may still reserve more revokes than they will actually need
in the end, but now we won't overshoot the target as much, and by only
returning the space for excess revokes at log flush time, we further
reduce the amount of contention between processes.

gfs2: Rework the log space allocation logic

The current log space allocation logic is hard to understand or extend.
The principle it that when the log is flushed, we may or may not have a
transaction active that has space allocated in the log. To deal with
that, we set aside a magical number of blocks to be used in case we
don't have an active transaction. It isn't clear that the pool will
always be big enough. In addition, we can't return unused log space at
the end of a transaction, so the number of blocks allocated must exactly
match the number of blocks used.

Simplify this as follows:
* When transactions are allocated or merged, always reserve enough
blocks to flush the transaction (err on the safe side).
* In gfs2_log_flush, return any allocated blocks that haven't been used.
* Maintain a pool of spare blocks big enough to do one log flush, as
before.
* In gfs2_log_flush, when we have no active transaction, allocate a
suitable number of blocks. For that, use the spare pool when
called from logd, and leave the pool alone otherwise. This means
that when the log is almost full, logd will still be able to do one
more log flush, which will result in more log space becoming
available.

This will make the log space allocator code easier to work with in
the future.

gfs2: Fix case in which ail writes are done to jdata holes

Patch b2a846dbef4e ("gfs2: Ignore journal log writes for jdata holes")
tried (unsuccessfully) to fix a case in which writes were done to jdata
blocks, the blocks are sent to the ail list, then a punch_hole or truncate
operation caused the blocks to be freed. In other words, the ail items
are for jdata holes. Before b2a846dbef4e, the jdata hole caused function
gfs2_block_map to return -EIO, which was eventually interpreted as an
IO error to the journal, and then withdraw.

This patch changes function gfs2_get_block_noalloc, which is only used
for jdata writes, so it returns -ENODATA rather than -EIO, and when
-ENODATA is returned to gfs2_ail1_start_one, the error is ignored.
We can safely ignore it because gfs2_ail1_start_one is only called
when the jdata pages have already been written and truncated, so the
ail1 content no longer applies.

gfs2: Wipe jdata and ail1 in gfs2_journal_wipe, formerly gfs2_meta_wipe

Before this patch, when blocks were freed, it called gfs2_meta_wipe to
take the metadata out of the pending journal blocks. It did this mostly
by calling another function called gfs2_remove_from_journal. This is
shortsighted because it does not do anything with jdata blocks which
may also be in the journal.

This patch expands the function so that it wipes out jdata blocks from
the journal as well, and it wipes it from the ail1 list if it hasn't
been written back yet. Since it now processes jdata blocks as well,
the function has been renamed from gfs2_meta_wipe to gfs2_journal_wipe.

New function gfs2_ail1_wipe wants a static view of the ail list, so it
locks the sd_ail_lock when removing items. To accomplish this, function
gfs2_remove_from_journal no longer locks the sd_ail_lock, and it's now
the caller's responsibility to do so.

I was going to make sd_ail_lock locking conditional, but the practice is
generally frowned upon. For details, see: https://lwn.net/Articles/109066/

gfs2: add some much needed cleanup for log flushes that fail

When a log flush fails due to io errors, it signals the failure but does
not clean up after itself very well. This is because buffers are added to
the transaction tr_buf and tr_databuf queue, but the io error causes
gfs2_log_flush to bypass the "after_commit" functions responsible for
dequeueing the bd elements. If the bd elements are added to the ail list
before the error, function ail_drain takes care of dequeueing them.
But if they haven't gotten that far, the elements are forgotten and
make the transactions unable to be freed.

This patch introduces new function trans_drain which drains the bd
elements from the transaction so they can be freed properly.

gfs2: fix use-after-free on transaction ail lists

Before this patch, transactions could be merged into the system
transaction by function gfs2_merge_trans(), but the transaction ail
lists were never merged. Because the ail flushing mechanism can run
separately, bd elements can be attached to the transaction's buffer
list during the transaction (trans_add_meta, etc) but quickly moved
to its ail lists. Later, in function gfs2_trans_end, the transaction
can be freed (by gfs2_trans_end) while it still has bd elements
queued to its ail lists, which can cause it to either lose track of
the bd elements altogether (memory leak) or worse, reference the bd
elements after the parent transaction has been freed.

Although I've not seen any serious consequences, the problem becomes
apparent with the previous patch's addition of:

gfs2_assert_warn(sdp, list_empty(&tr->tr_ail1_list));

to function gfs2_trans_free().

This patch adds logic into gfs2_merge_trans() to move the merged
transaction's ail lists to the sdp transaction. This prevents the
use-after-free. To do this properly, we need to hold the ail lock,
so we pass sdp into the function instead of the transaction itself.

But that revoke still needs to be written, and the rgrp_go_inval

properly written to the journal before we relinquish control of
the glock to another node. If we give the glock to another node
before we have this knowledge, the node might crash and its journal
replayed, in which case the missing revoke would allow the journal
replay to replay the rgrp over top of the rgrp we already gave to
another node, thus overwriting its changes and corrupting the
file system.

gfs2: Issue revokes more intelligently

Before this patch, function gfs2_write_revokes would call
gfs2_ail1_empty, then traverse the sd_ail1_list looking for
transactions that had bds which were no longer queued to a glock.
And if it found some, it would try to issue revokes for them, up to
a predetermined maximum. There were two problems with how it did
this. First was the fact that gfs2_ail1_empty moves transactions
which have nothing remaining on the ail1 list from the sd_ail1_list
to the sd_ail2_list, thus making its traversal of sd_ail1_list
miss them completely, and therefore, never issue revokes for them.
Second was the fact that there were three traversals (or partial
traversals) of the sd_ail1_list, each of which took and then
released the sd_ail_lock lock: First inside gfs2_ail1_empty,
second to determine if there are any revokes to be issued, and
third to actually issue them. All this taking and releasing of the
sd_ail_lock meant other processes could modify the lists and the
conditions in which we're working.

This patch simplies the whole process by adding a new parameter
to function gfs2_ail1_empty, max_revokes. For normal calls, this
is passed in as 0, meaning we don't want to issue any revokes.
For function gfs2_write_revokes, we pass in the maximum number
of revokes we can, thus allowing gfs2_ail1_empty to add the
revokes where needed. This simplies the code, allows for a single
holding of the sd_ail_lock, and allows gfs2_ail1_empty to add
revokes for all the necessary bd items without missing any.

In addition, this fixes a tight loop in unmount: If buffers

gfs2: Introduce concept of a pending withdraw

File system withdraws can be delayed when inconsistencies are
discovered when we cannot withdraw immediately, for example, when
critical spin_locks are held. But delaying the withdraw can cause
gfs2 to ignore the error and keep running for a short period of time.
For example, an rgrp glock may be dequeued and demoted while there
are still buffers that haven't been properly revoked, due to io
errors writing to the journal.

This patch introduces a new concept of a pending withdraw, which
means an inconsistency has been discovered and we need to withdraw
at the earliest possible opportunity. In these cases, we aren't
quite withdrawn yet, but we still need to not dequeue glocks and
other critical things. If we dequeue the glocks and the withdraw
results in our journal being replayed, the replay could overwrite
data that's been modified by a different node that acquired the
glock in the meantime.

Revert "gfs2: eliminate tr_num_revoke_rm"

This reverts commit e955537e3262de8e56f070b13817f525f472fa00.

Before patch e955537e32, tr_num_revoke tracked the number of revokes
added to the transaction, and tr_num_revoke_rm tracked how many
revokes were removed. But since revokes are queued off the sdp
(superblock) pointer, some transactions could remove more revokes
than they added. (e.g. revokes added by a different process).
Commit e955537e32 eliminated transaction variable tr_num_revoke_rm,
but in order to do so, it changed the accounting to always use
tr_num_revoke for its math. Since you can remove more revokes than
you add, tr_num_revoke could now become a negative value.
This negative value broke the assert in function gfs2_trans_end:

if (gfs2_assert_withdraw(sdp, (nbuf <=3D tr->tr_blocks) &&
(tr->tr_num_revoke <=3D tr->tr_revokes)))

One way to fix this is to simply remove the tr_num_revoke clause
from the assert and allow the value to become negative. Andreas
didn't like that idea, so instead, we decided to revert e955537e32.

gfs2: Remove active journal side effect from gfs2_write_log_header

Function gfs2_write_log_header can be used to write a log header into any of
the journals of a filesystem. When used on the node's own journal,
gfs2_write_log_header advances the current position in the log
(sdp->sd_log_flush_head) as a side effect, through function gfs2_log_bmap.

This is confusing, and it also means that we can't use gfs2_log_bmap for other
journals even if they have an extent map. So clean this mess up by not
advancing sdp->sd_log_flush_head in gfs2_write_log_header or gfs2_log_bmap
anymore and making that a responsibility of the callers instead.

This is related to commit 7c70b896951c ("gfs2: clean_journal improperly set
sd_log_flush_head").

gfs2: eliminate tr_num_revoke_rm

For its journal processing, gfs2 kept track of the number of buffers
added and removed on a per-transaction basis. These values are used
to calculate space needed in the journal. But while these calculations
make sense for the number of buffers, they make no sense for revokes.
Revokes are managed in their own list, linked from the superblock.
So it's entirely unnecessary to keep separate per-transaction counts
for revokes added and removed. A single count will do the same job.
Therefore, this patch combines the transaction revokes into a single
count.

only decremented in revoke_lo_after_commit, which removes all revokes

gfs2: Fix occasional glock use-after-free

This patch has to do with the life cycle of glocks and buffers. When
gfs2 metadata or journaled data is queued to be written, a gfs2_bufdata
object is assigned to track the buffer, and that is queued to various
lists, including the glock's gl_ail_list to indicate it's on the active
items list. Once the page associated with the buffer has been written,
it is removed from the ail list, but its life isn't over until a revoke
has been successfully written.

So after the block is written, its bufdata object is moved from the
glock's gl_ail_list to a file-system-wide list of pending revokes,
sd_log_le_revoke. At that point the glock still needs to track how many
revokes it contributed to that list (in gl_revokes) so that things like
glock go_sync can ensure all the metadata has been not only written, but
also revoked before the glock is granted to a different node. This is
to guarantee journal replay doesn't replay the block once the glock has
been granted to another node.

Ross Lagerwall recently discovered a race in which an inode could be
evicted, and its glock freed after its ail list had been synced, but
while it still had unwritten revokes on the sd_log_le_revoke list. The
evict decremented the glock reference count to zero, which allowed the
glock to be freed. After the revoke was written, function
revoke_lo_after_commit tried to adjust the glock's gl_revokes counter
and clear its GLF_LFLUSH flag, at which time it referenced the freed
glock.

This patch fixes the problem by incrementing the glock reference count
in gfs2_add_revoke when the glock's first bufdata object is moved from
the glock to the global revokes list. Later, when the glock's last such
bufdata object is freed, the reference count is decremented. This
guarantees that whichever process finishes last (the revoke writing or
the evict) will properly free the glock, and neither will reference the
glock after it has been freed.

gfs2: clean_journal improperly set sd_log_flush_head

This patch fixes regressions in 588bff95c94efc05f9e1a0b19015c9408ed7c0ef.
Due to that patch, function clean_journal was setting the value of
sd_log_flush_head, but that's only valid if it is replaying the node's
own journal. If it's replaying another node's journal, that's completely
wrong and will lead to multiple problems. This patch tries to clean up
the mess by passing the value of the logical journal block number into
gfs2_write_log_header so the function can treat non-owned journals
generically. For the local journal, the journal extent map is used for
best performance. For other nodes from other journals, new function
gfs2_lblk_to_dblk is called to figure it out using gfs2_iomap_get.

GFS2: Reduce code redundancy writing log headers

Before this patch, there was a lot of code redundancy between functions
log_write_header (which uses bio) and clean_journal (which uses
buffer_head). This patch reduces the redundancy to simplify the code
and make log header writing more consistent. We want more consistency
and reduced redundancy because we plan to add a bunch of new fields
to improve performance (by eliminating the local statfs and quota files)
improve metadata integrity (by adding new crcs and such) and for better
debugging (by adding new fields to track when and where metadata was
pushed through the journals.) We don't want to duplicate setting these
new fields, nor allow for human error in the process.

This reduction in code redundancy is accomplished by introducing a new
helper function, gfs2_write_log_header which uses bio rather than bh.
That simplifies recovery function clean_journal() to use the new helper
function and iomap rather than redundancy and block_map (and eventually
we can maybe remove block_map). It also reduces our dependency on
buffer_heads.

GFS2: Withdraw for IO errors writing to the journal or statfs

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.

gfs2: forcibly flush ail to relieve memory pressure

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

gfs2: clear journal live bit in gfs2_log_flush

When gfs2 was unmounting filesystems or changing them to read-only it
was clearing the SDF_JOURNAL_LIVE bit before the final log flush. This
caused a race. If an inode glock got demoted in the gap between
clearing the bit and the shutdown flush, it would be unable to reserve
log space to clear out the active items list in inode_go_sync, causing an
error in inode_go_inval because the glock was still dirty.

To solve this, the SDF_JOURNAL_LIVE bit is now cleared inside the
shutdown log flush. This means that, because of the locking on the log
blocks, either inode_go_sync will be able to reserve space to clean the
glock before the shutdown flush, or the shutdown flush will clean the
glock itself, before inode_go_sync fails to reserve the space. Either
way, the glock will be clean before inode_go_inval.

GFS2: update freeze code to use freeze/thaw_super on all nodes

The current gfs2 freezing code is considerably more complicated than it
should be because it doesn't use the vfs freezing code on any node except
the one that begins the freeze. This is because it needs to acquire a
cluster glock before calling the vfs code to prevent a deadlock, and
without the new freeze_super and thaw_super hooks, that was impossible. To
deal with the issue, gfs2 had to do some hacky locking tricks to make sure
that a frozen node couldn't be holding on a lock it needed to do the
unfreeze ioctl.

This patch makes use of the new hooks to simply the gfs2 locking code. Now,
all the nodes in the cluster freeze and thaw in exactly the same way. Every
node in the cluster caches the freeze glock in the shared state. The new
freeze_super hook allows the freezing node to grab this freeze glock in
the exclusive state without first calling the vfs freeze_super function.
All the nodes in the cluster see this lock change, and call the vfs
freeze_super function. The vfs locking code guarantees that the nodes can't
get stuck holding the glocks necessary to unfreeze the system. To
unfreeze, the freezing node uses the new thaw_super hook to drop the freeze
glock. Again, all the nodes notice this, reacquire the glock in shared mode
and call the vfs thaw_super function.

GFS2: remove transaction glock

GFS2 has a transaction glock, which must be grabbed for every
transaction, whose purpose is to deal with freezing the filesystem.
Aside from this involving a large amount of locking, it is very easy to
make the current fsfreeze code hang on unfreezing.

This patch rewrites how gfs2 handles freezing the filesystem. The
transaction glock is removed. In it's place is a freeze glock, which is
cached (but not held) in a shared state by every node in the cluster
when the filesystem is mounted. This lock only needs to be grabbed on
freezing, and actions which need to be safe from freezing, like
recovery.

When a node wants to freeze the filesystem, it grabs this glock
exclusively. When the freeze glock state changes on the nodes (either
from shared to unlocked, or shared to exclusive), the filesystem does a
special log flush. gfs2_log_flush() does all the work for flushing out
the and shutting down the incore log, and then it tries to grab the
freeze glock in a shared state again. Since the filesystem is stuck in
gfs2_log_flush, no new transaction can start, and nothing can be written
to disk. Unfreezing the filesytem simply involes dropping the freeze
glock, allowing gfs2_log_flush() to grab and then release the shared
lock, so it is cached for next time.

However, in order for the unfreezing ioctl to occur, gfs2 needs to get a
shared lock on the filesystem root directory inode to check permissions.
If that glock has already been grabbed exclusively, fsfreeze will be
unable to get the shared lock and unfreeze the filesystem.

In order to allow the unfreeze, this patch makes gfs2 grab a shared lock
on the filesystem root directory during the freeze, and hold it until it
unfreezes the filesystem. The functions which need to grab a shared
lock in order to allow the unfreeze ioctl to be issued now use the lock
grabbed by the freeze code instead.

The freeze and unfreeze code take care to make sure that this shared
lock will not be dropped while another process is using it.

GFS2: Move log buffer accounting to transaction

Now we have a master transaction into which other transactions
are merged, the accounting can be done using this master
transaction. We no longer require the superblock fields which
were being used for this function.

In addition, this allows for a clean up in calc_reserved()
making it rather easier understand. Also, by reducing the
number of variables used to track the buffers being added
and removed from the journal, a number of error checks are
now no longer required.

GFS2: Move log buffer lists into transaction

Over time, we hope to be able to improve the concurrency available
in the log code. This is one small step towards that, by moving
the buffer lists from the super block, and into the transaction
structure, so that each transaction builds its own buffer lists.

At transaction commit time, the buffer lists are merged into
the currently accumulating transaction. That transaction then
is passed into the before and after commit functions at journal
flush time. Thus there should be no change in overall behaviour
yet.

GFS2: Plug on AIL flush

When we do a flush of the AIL list, we are writing out what is
likely to be a lot of small I/Os, which are possibly in an order
which is not ideal performance-wise. Since this is done by calling
filemap_fdatatwrite for each individual inode's address space there
is no overall plugging going on.

In addition to that, we do not always wait for AIL i/o when we flush
it, so that it is possible for things to get left behind on the queue.
By adding explicit plugging here, we reduce the chances of this
being an issues. A quick test using the AIL flush tracepoint shows a
small, but measurable improvement.

GFS2: Fix use-after-free race when calling gfs2_remove_from_ail

Function gfs2_remove_from_ail drops the reference on the bh via
brelse. This patch fixes a race condition whereby bh is deferenced
after the brelse when setting bd->bd_blkno = bh->b_blocknr;
Under certain rare circumstances, bh might be gone or reused,
and bd->bd_blkno is set to whatever that memory happens to be,
which is often 0. Later, in gfs2_trans_add_unrevoke, that bd fails
the test "bd->bd_blkno >= blkno" which causes it to never be freed.
The end result is that the bd is never freed from the bufdata cache,
which results in this error:
slab error in kmem_cache_destroy(): cache `gfs2_bufdata': Can't free all objects

GFS2: aggressively issue revokes in gfs2_log_flush

This patch looks at all the outstanding blocks in all the transactions
on the log, and moves the completed ones to the ail2 list. Then it
issues revokes for these blocks. This will hopefully speed things up
in situations where there is a lot of contention for glocks, especially
if they are acquired serially.

revoke_lo_before_commit will issue at most one log block's full of these

gfs2_log_reserve() ignores has been incremented to allow for this extra
block.

GFS2: replace gfs2_ail structure with gfs2_trans

In order to allow transactions and log flushes to happen at the same
time, gfs2 needs to move the transaction accounting and active items
list code into the gfs2_trans structure. As a first step toward this,
this patch removes the gfs2_ail structure, and handles the active items
list in the gfs_trans structure. This keeps gfs2 from allocating an ail
structure on log flushes, and gives us a struture that can later be used
to store the transaction accounting outside of the gfs2 superblock
structure.

With this patch, at the end of a transaction, gfs2 will add the
gfs2_trans structure to the superblock if there is not one already.
This structure now has the active items fields that were previously in
gfs2_ail. This is not necessary in the case where the transaction was
simply used to add revokes, since these are never written outside of the
journal, and thus, don't need an active items list.

Also, in order to make sure that the transaction structure is not
removed while it's still in use by gfs2_trans_end, unlocking the
sd_log_flush_lock has to happen slightly later in ending the
transaction.

GFS2: Use ->writepages for ordered writes

Instead of using a list of buffers to write ahead of the journal
flush, this now uses a list of inodes and calls ->writepages
via filemap_fdatawrite() in order to achieve the same thing. For
most use cases this results in a shorter ordered write list,
as well as much larger i/os being issued.

The ordered write list is sorted by inode number before writing
in order to retain the disk block ordering between inodes as
per the previous code.

The previous ordered write code used to conflict in its assumptions
about how to write out the disk blocks with mpage_writepages()
so that with this updated version we can also use mpage_writepages()
for GFS2's ordered write, writepages implementation. So we will
also send larger i/os from writeback too.

GFS2: Clean up log write code path

Prior to this patch, we have two ways of sending i/o to the log.
One of those is used when we need to allocate both the data
to be written itself and also a buffer head to submit it. This
is done via sb_getblk and friends. This is used mostly for writing
log headers.

The other method is used when writing blocks which have some
in-place counterpart. This is the case for all the metadata
blocks which are journalled, and when journaled data is in use,
for unescaped journalled data blocks.

This patch replaces both of those two methods, and about half
a dozen separate i/o submission points with a single i/o
submission function. We also go direct to bio rather than
using buffer heads, since this allows us to build i/o
requests of the maximum size for the block device in
question. It also reduces the memory required for flushing
the log, which can be very useful in low memory situations.

GFS2: Resolve inode eviction and ail list interaction bug

This patch contains a few misc fixes which resolve a recently
reported issue. This patch has been a real team effort and has
received a lot of testing.

The first issue is that the ail lock needs to be held over a few
more operations. The lock thats added into gfs2_releasepage() may
possibly be a candidate for replacing with RCU at some future
point, but at this stage we've gone for the obvious fix.

The second issue is that gfs2_write_inode() can end up calling
a glock recursively when called from gfs2_evict_inode() via the
syncing code, so it needs a guard added.

The third issue is that we either need to not truncate the metadata
pages of inodes which have zero link count, but which we cannot
deallocate due to them still being in use by other nodes, or we need
to ensure that those pages have all made it through the journal and
ail lists first. This patch takes the former approach, but the
latter has also been tested and there is nothing to choose between
them performance-wise. So again, we could revise that decision
in the future.

Also, the inode eviction process is now better documented.

GFS2: introduce AIL lock

The log lock is currently used to protect the AIL lists and
the movements of buffers into and out of them. The lists
are self contained and no log specific items outside the
lists are accessed when starting or emptying the AIL lists.

Hence the operation of the AIL does not require the protection
of the log lock so split them out into a new AIL specific lock
to reduce the amount of traffic on the log lock. This will
also reduce the amount of serialisation that occurs when
the gfs2_logd pushes on the AIL to move it forward.

This reduces the impact of log pushing on sequential write

GFS2: Various gfs2_logd improvements

This patch contains various tweaks to how log flushes and active item writeback
work. gfs2_logd is now managed by a waitqueue, and gfs2_log_reseve now waits
for gfs2_logd to do the log flushing. Multiple functions were rewritten to
remove the need to call gfs2_log_lock(). Instead of using one test to see if
gfs2_logd had work to do, there are now seperate tests to check if there
are two many buffers in the incore log or if there are two many items on the
active items list.

This patch is a port of a patch Steve Whitehouse wrote about a year ago, with
some minor changes. Since gfs2_ail1_start always submits all the active items,
it no longer needs to keep track of the first ai submitted, so this has been
removed. In gfs2_log_reserve(), the order of the calls to
prepare_to_wait_exclusive() and wake_up() when firing off the logd thread has
been switched. If it called wake_up first there was a small window for a race,
where logd could run and return before gfs2_log_reserve was ready to get woken
up. If gfs2_logd ran, but did not free up enough blocks, gfs2_log_reserve()
would be left waiting for gfs2_logd to eventualy run because it timed out.
Finally, gt_logd_secs, which controls how long to wait before gfs2_logd times
out, and flushes the log, can now be set on mount with ar_commit.

GFS2: Allow the number of committed revokes to temporarily be negative

GFS2 tracks the number of revokes and unrevokes that are part of committed
transactions via sd_log_commited_revoke. It is possible for one process to add
revokes during its transaction, while another process unrevokes them during its
transaction. If the second process finishes its transaction first,
sd_log_commited_revoke will be decremented by the number of unrevokes that the
second process did, without first being incremented by the number of revokes
the first process did. This is fine, since all started transactions must be
completed before the journal can be flushed. However, sd_log_commited_revoke
is an unsigned integer, and log_refund() causes an assertion failure if it
would go negative at the end of a transaction. This patch makes
sd_log_commited_revoke a signed integer and allows it to go negative.
__gfs2_log_flush() still checks that it mataches the actual number of revokes.

GFS2: Tag all metadata with jid

There are two spare field in the header common to all GFS2
metadata. One is just the right size to fit a journal id
in it, and this patch updates the journal code so that each
time a metadata block is modified, we tag it with the journal
id of the node which is performing the modification.

The reason for this is that it should make it much easier to
debug issues which arise if we can tell which node was the
last to modify a particular metadata block.

Since the field is updated before the block is written into
the journal, each journal should only contain metadata which
is tagged with its own journal id. The one exception to this
is the journal header block, which might have a different node's
id in it, if that journal was recovered by another node in the
cluster.

Thus each journal will contain a record of which nodes recovered
it, via the journal header.

The other field in the metadata header could potentially be
used to hold information about what kind of operation was
performed, but for the time being we just zero it on each
transaction so that if we use it for that in future, we'll
know that the information (where it exists) is reliable.

I did consider using the other field to hold the journal
sequence number, however since in GFS2's journaling we write
the modified data into the journal and not the original
data, this gives no information as to what action caused the
modification, so I think we can probably come up with a better
use for those 64 bits in the future.

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=a1f242524c3c1f5d40f1c9c343427e34d1aadd6e
et al. this is a patch to bring gfs2 uptodate with the core
code. Also I've managed to squash another call to ll_rw_block()
along the way.

There is still one part of the GFS2 I/O paths which are not correctly
annotated and that is due to the sharing of the writeback code between
the data and metadata address spaces. I would like to change that too,
but this patch is still worth doing on its own, I think.

GFS2: Merge lock_dlm module into GFS2

This is the big patch that I've been working on for some time
now. There are many reasons for wanting to make this change
such as:
o Reducing overhead by eliminating duplicated fields between structures
o Simplifcation of the code (reduces the code size by a fair bit)
o The locking interface is now the DLM interface itself as proposed
some time ago.
o Fewer lookups of glocks when processing replies from the DLM
o Fewer memory allocations/deallocations for each glock
o Scope to do further optimisations in the future (but this patch is
more than big enough for now!)

Please note that (a) this patch relates to the lock_dlm module and
not the DLM itself, that is still a separate module; and (b) that
we retain the ability to build GFS2 as a standalone single node
filesystem with out requiring the DLM.

This patch needs a lot of testing, hence my keeping it I restarted
my -git tree after the last merge window. That way, this has the maximum
exposure before its merged. This is (modulo a few minor bug fixes) the
same patch that I've been posting on and off the the last three months
and its passed a number of different tests so far.

GFS2: Support for I/O barriers

This patch adds barrier support to GFS2. There is not a lot of change
really... we just add the barrier flag when we write journal header
blocks. If the underlying device refuses to support them, we fall back
to the previous way of doing things (wait for the I/O and hope) since
there is nothing else we can do. There is no user configuration,
barriers will always be on unless the device refuses to support them.
This seems a reasonable solution to me since this is a correctness
issue.

This patch is performance related. When we're doing a log flush,
I noticed we were calling buf_lo_incore_commit twice: once for
data bufs and once for metadata bufs. Since this is the same
function and does the same thing in both cases, there should be
no reason to call it twice. Since we only need to call it once,
we can also make it faster by removing it from the generic "lops"
code and making it a stand-along static function.

Also as a result, and to simplify the locking, since there is no longer

[GFS2] assertion failure after writing to journaled file, umount

This patch passes all my nasty tests that were causing the code to
fail under one circumstance or another. Here is a complete summary
of all changes from today's git tree, in order of appearance:

1. There are now separate variables for metadata buffer accounting.
2. Variable sd_log_num_hdrs is no longer needed, since the header
accounting is taken care of by the reserve/refund sequence.
3. Fixed a tiny grammatical problem in a comment.
4. Added a new function "calc_reserved" to calculate the reserved
log space. This isn't entirely necessary, but it has two benefits:
First, it simplifies the gfs2_log_refund function greatly.
Second, it allows for easier debugging because I could sprinkle the
code with calls to this function to make sure the accounting is
proper (by adding asserts and printks) at strategic point of the code.
5. In log_pull_tail there apparently was a kludge to fix up the
accounting based on a "pull" parameter. The buffer accounting is
now done properly, so the kludge was removed.
6. File sync operations were making a call to gfs2_log_flush that
writes another journal header. Since that header was unplanned
for (reserved) by the reserve/refund sequence, the free space had
to be decremented so that when log_pull_tail gets called, the free
space is be adjusted properly. (Did I hear you call that a kludge?
well, maybe, but a lot more justifiable than the one I removed).
7. In the gfs2_log_shutdown code, it optionally syncs the log by
specifying the PULL parameter to log_write_header. I'm not sure
this is necessary anymore. It just seems to me there could be
cases where shutdown is called while there are outstanding log
buffers.
8. In the (data)buf_lo_before_commit functions, I changed some offset
values from being calculated on the fly to being constants. That
simplified some code and we might as well let the compiler do the
calculation once rather than redoing those cycles at run time.
9. This version has my rewritten databuf_lo_add function.
This version is much more like its predecessor, buf_lo_add, which
makes it easier to understand. Again, this might not be necessary,
but it seems as if this one works as well as the previous one,
maybe even better, so I decided to leave it in.
10. In databuf_lo_before_commit, a previous data corruption problem
was caused by going off the end of the buffer. The proper solution
is to have the proper limit in place, rather than stopping earlier.
(Thus my previous attempt to fix it is wrong).
If you don't wrap the buffer, you're stopping too early and that
causes more log buffer accounting problems.
11. In lops.h there are two new (previously mentioned) constants for
figuring out the data offset for the journal buffers.
12. There are also two new functions, buf_limit and databuf_limit to
calculate how many entries will fit in the buffer.
13. In function gfs2_meta_wipe, it needs to distinguish between pinned
metadata buffers and journaled data buffers for proper journal buffer
accounting. It can't use the JDATA gfs2_inode flag because it's
sometimes passed the "real" inode and sometimes the "metadata
inode" and the inode flags will be random bits in a metadata
gfs2_inode. It needs to base its decision on which was passed in.

[GFS2] Journaled file write/unstuff bug

This patch is for bugzilla bug 283162, which uncovered a number of
bugs pertaining to writing to files that have the journaled bit on.
These bugs happen most often when writing to the meta_fs because
the files are always journaled. So operations like gfs2_grow were
particularly vulnerable, although many of the problems could be
recreated with normal files after setting the journaled bit on.
The problems fixed are:

-GFS2 wasn't ever writing unstuffed journaled data blocks to their
in-place location on disk. Now it does.

-If you unmounted too quickly after doing IO to a journaled file,
GFS2 was crashing because you would discard a buffer whose bufdata
was still on the active items list. GFS2 now deals with this
gracefully.

-GFS2 was losing track of the bufdata for journaled data blocks,
and it wasn't getting freed, causing an error when you tried to
unmount the module. GFS2 now frees all the bufdata structures.

-There was a memory corruption occurring because GFS2 wrote
twice as many log entries for journaled buffers.

-It was occasionally trying to write journal headers in buffers
that weren't currently mapped.

[GFS2] fix jdata issues

This is a patch for the first three issues of RHBZ #238162

The first issue is that when you allocate a new page for a file, it will not
start off uptodate. This makes sense, since you haven't written anything to that
part of the file yet. Unfortunately, gfs2_pin() checks to make sure that the
buffers are uptodate. The solution to this is to mark the buffers uptodate in
gfs2_commit_write(), after they have been zeroed out and have the data written
into them. I'm pretty confident with this fix, although it's not completely
obvious that there is no problem with marking the buffers uptodate here.

The second issue is simply that you can try to pin a data buffer that is already
on the incore log, and thus, already pinned. This patch checks to see if this
buffer is already on the log, and exits databuf_lo_add() if it is, just like
buf_lo_add() does.

The third issue is that gfs2_log_flush() doesn't do it's block accounting
correctly. Both metadata and journaled data are logged, but gfs2_log_flush()
only compares the number of metadata blocks with the number of blocks to commit
to the ondisk journal. This patch also counts the journaled data blocks.

[GFS2] Fix journal flush problem

This fixes a bug which resulted in poor performance due to flushing
the journal too often. The code path in question was via the inode_go_sync()
function in glops.c. The solution is not to flush the journal immediately
when inodes are ejected from memory, but batch up the work for glockd to
deal with later on. This means that glocks may now live on beyond the end of
the lifetime of their inodes (but not very much longer in the normal case).

Also fixed in this patch is a bug (which was hidden by the bug mentioned above) in
calculation of the number of free journal blocks.

The gfs2_logd process has been altered to be more responsive to the journal
filling up. We now wake it up when the number of uncommitted journal blocks
has reached the threshold level rather than trying to flush directly at the
end of each transaction. This again means doing fewer, but larger, log
flushes in general.

[GFS2] Map multiple blocks at once where possible

This is a tidy up of the GFS2 bmap code. The main change is that the
bh is passed to gfs2_block_map allowing the flags to be set directly
rather than having to repeat that code several times in ops_address.c.

At the same time, the extent mapping code from gfs2_extent_map has
been moved into gfs2_block_map. This allows all calls to gfs2_block_map
to map extents in the case that no allocation is taking place. As a
result reads and non-allocating writes should be faster. A quick test
with postmark appears to support this.

There is a limit on the number of blocks mapped in a single bmap
call in that it will only ever map blocks which are pointed to
from a single pointer block. So in other words, it will never try
to do additional i/o in order to satisfy read-ahead. The maximum
number of blocks is thus somewhat less than 512 (the GFS2 4k block
size minus the header divided by sizeof(u64)). I've further limited
the mapping of "normal" blocks to 32 blocks (to avoid extra work)
since readpages() will currently read a maximum of 32 blocks ahead (128k).

Some further work will probably be needed to set a suitable value
for DIO as well, but for now thats left at the maximum 512 (see
ops_address.c:gfs2_get_block_direct).

There is probably a lot more that can be done to improve bmap for GFS2,
but this is a good first step.

[GFS2] Update copyright, tidy up incore.h

As per comments from Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@linux01.gwdg.de> this
updates the copyright message to say "version" in full rather than
"v.2". Also incore.h has been updated to remove forward structure
declarations which are not required.

The gfs2_quota_lvb structure has now had endianess annotations added
to it. Also quota.c has been updated so that we now store the
lvb data locally in endian independant format to avoid needing
a structure in host endianess too. As a result the endianess
conversions are done as required at various points and thus the
conversion routines in lvb.[ch] are no longer required. I've
moved the one remaining constant in lvb.h thats used into lm.h
and removed the unused lvb.[ch].

I have not changed the HIF_ constants. That is left to a later patch
which I hope will unify the gh_flags and gh_iflags fields of the
struct gfs2_holder.

[GFS2] Fix journal off-by-one error

log_refund() incorrectly assumed that if a transaction had been touched, it
always committed buffers to the incore log. Thus, when you got around to
flushing the log, you would need one more block than you committed, to account
for the header. So it automatically set reserved to 1, which had the effect of
making sdp->sd_log_blks_reserved one greater when you got to gfs2_log_flush().
However, if you don't actually commit anything to the incore log between
flushes, you don't need the header, because you aren't writing anything out.
With this patch, log_refund() only increments reservered to account for the
header if something has been committed since the last flush.

[GFS2] Fix lock ordering bug in page fault path

Mmapped files were able to trigger a lock ordering bug. Private
maps do not need to take the glock so early on. Shared maps do
unfortunately, however we can get around that by adding a flag
into the flags for the struct gfs2_file. This only works because
we are taking an exclusive lock at this point, so we know that
nobody else can be racing with us.

[GFS2] Fix unlinked file handling

This patch fixes the way we have been dealing with unlinked,
but still open files. It removes all limits (other than memory
for inodes, as per every other filesystem) on numbers of these
which we can support on GFS2. It also means that (like other
fs) its the responsibility of the last process to close the file
to deallocate the storage, rather than the person who did the
unlinking. Note that with GFS2, those two events might take place
on different nodes.

Also there are a number of other changes:

o We use the Linux inode subsystem as it was intended to be
used, wrt allocating GFS2 inodes
o The Linux inode cache is now the point which we use for
local enforcement of only holding one copy of the inode in
core at once (previous to this we used the glock layer).
o We no longer use the unlinked "special" file. We just ignore it
completely. This makes unlinking more efficient.
o We now use the 4th block allocation state. The previously unused
state is used to track unlinked but still open inodes.
o gfs2_inoded is no longer needed
o Several fields are now no longer needed (and removed) from the in
core struct gfs2_inode
o Several fields are no longer needed (and removed) from the in core
superblock

There are a number of future possible optimisations and clean ups
which have been made possible by this patch.

[GFS2] Readpages support

This adds readpages support (and also corrects a small bug in
the readpage error path at the same time). Hopefully this will
improve performance by allowing GFS to submit larger lumps of
I/O at a time.

In order to simplify the setting of BH_Boundary, it currently gets
set when we hit the end of a indirect pointer block. There is
always a boundary at this point with the current allocation code.
It doesn't get all the boundaries right though, so there is still
room for improvement in this.

See comments in fs/gfs2/ops_address.c for further information about
readpages with GFS2.

[GFS2] Update journal accounting code.

A small update to the journaling code to change the way that
the "extra" blocks are accounted for in the journal. These are
used at a rate of one per 503 metadata blocks or one per 251
journaled data blocks (or just one if the total number of journaled
blocks in the transaction is smaller). Since we are using them at
two different rates the old method of accounting for them no longer
works and we count them up as required.

Since the "per transaction" accounting can't handle this (there is no
fixed number of header blocks per transaction) we have to account for
it in the general journal code. We now require that each transaction
reserves more blocks than it actually needs to take account of the
possible extra blocks.

Also a final fix to dir.c to ensure that all ref counts are handled
correctly.

[GFS2] Fix a ref count bug and other clean ups

This fixes a ref count bug that sometimes showed up a umount time
(causing it to hang) but it otherwise mostly harmless. At the same
time there are some clean ups including making the log operations
structures const, moving a memory allocation so that its not done
in the fast path of checking to see if there is an outstanding
transaction related to a particular glock.

Removes the sd_log_wrap varaible which was updated, but never actually
used anywhere. Updates the gfs2 ioctl() to run without the kernel lock
(which it never needed anyway). Removes the "invalidate inodes" loop
from GFS2's put_super routine. This is done in kill super anyway so
we don't need to do it here. The loop was also bogus in that if there
are any inodes "stuck" at this point its a bug and we need to know
about it rather than hide it by hanging forever.

[GFS2] Update locking in log.c

In fact the sd_log_flush_lock becomes an rwsem (the write part of it)

used to cover. The read part of the lock is instead of lock_for_trans().

[GFS2] Further updates to dir and logging code

This reduces the size of the directory code by about 3k and gets
readdir() to use the functions which were introduced in the previous

Two memory allocations are merged into one. Eliminates zeroing of some

other data.

There is still scope for further improvement in the directory code.

[GFS2] Fix for root inode ref count bug

Umount is now working correctly again. The bug was due to
not getting an extra ref count when mounting the fs. We
should have bumped it by two (once for the internal pointer

inode hanging off the dcache entry for root).

Also this patch tidys up the code dealing with looking up
and creating inodes. We now pass Linux inodes (with gfs2_inodes
attached) rather than the other way around and this reduces code
duplication in various places.

[GFS2] Make journaled data files identical to normal files on disk

This is a very large patch, with a few still to be resolved issues
so you might want to check out the previous head of the tree since
this is known to be unstable. Fixes for the various bugs will be
forthcoming shortly.

This patch removes the special data format which has been used
up till now for journaled data files. Directories still retain the
old format so that they will remain on disk compatible with earlier
releases. As a result you can now do the following with journaled
data files:

1) mmap them
2) export them over NFS
3) convert to/from normal files whenever you want to (the zero length
restriction is gone)

In addition the level at which GFS' locking is done has changed for all
files (since they all now use the page cache) such that the locking is
done at the page cache level rather than the level of the fs operations.
This should mean that things like loopback mounts and other things which
touch the page cache directly should now work.

Current known issues:

1. There is a lock mode inversion problem related to the resource
group hold function which needs to be resolved.
2. Any significant amount of I/O causes an oops with an offset of hex 320
(NULL pointer dereference) which appears to be related to a journaled data
buffer appearing on a list where it shouldn't be.
3. Direct I/O writes are disabled for the time being (will reappear later)
4. There is probably a deadlock between the page lock and GFS' locks under
certain combinations of mmap and fs operation I/O.
5. Issue relating to ref counting on internally used inodes causes a hang
on umount (discovered before this patch, and not fixed by it)
6. One part of the directory metadata is different from GFS1 and will need
to be resolved before next release.
