Btrfs: fix task hang under heavy compressed write

2014-09-05T23:36:37+00:00

commit 9e0af23764344f7f1b68e4eefbe7dc865018b63d upstream.

This has been reported and discussed for a long time, and this hang occurs in
both 3.15 and 3.16.

Btrfs now migrates to use kernel workqueue, but it introduces this hang problem.

Btrfs has a kind of work queued as an ordered way, which means that its
ordered_func() must be processed in the way of FIFO, so it usually looks like --

normal_work_helper(arg)
    work = container_of(arg, struct btrfs_work, normal_work);

    work->func() <---- (we name it work X)
    for ordered_work in wq->ordered_list
            ordered_work->ordered_func()
            ordered_work->ordered_free()

The hang is a rare case, first when we find free space, we get an uncached block
group, then we go to read its free space cache inode for free space information,
so it will

file a readahead request
    btrfs_readpages()
         for page that is not in page cache
                __do_readpage()
                     submit_extent_page()
                           btrfs_submit_bio_hook()
                                 btrfs_bio_wq_end_io()
                                 submit_bio()
                                 end_workqueue_bio() <--(ret by the 1st endio)
                                      queue a work(named work Y) for the 2nd
                                      also the real endio()

So the hang occurs when work Y's work_struct and work X's work_struct happens
to share the same address.

A bit more explanation,

A,B,C -- struct btrfs_work
arg   -- struct work_struct

kthread:
worker_thread()
    pick up a work_struct from @worklist
    process_one_work(arg)
	worker->current_work = arg;  <-- arg is A->normal_work
	worker->current_func(arg)
		normal_work_helper(arg)
		     A = container_of(arg, struct btrfs_work, normal_work);

		     A->func()
		     A->ordered_func()
		     A->ordered_free()  <-- A gets freed

		     B->ordered_func()
			  submit_compressed_extents()
			      find_free_extent()
				  load_free_space_inode()
				      ...   <-- (the above readhead stack)
				      end_workqueue_bio()
					   btrfs_queue_work(work C)
		     B->ordered_free()

As if work A has a high priority in wq->ordered_list and there are more ordered
works queued after it, such as B->ordered_func(), its memory could have been
freed before normal_work_helper() returns, which means that kernel workqueue
code worker_thread() still has worker->current_work pointer to be work
A->normal_work's, ie. arg's address.

Meanwhile, work C is allocated after work A is freed, work C->normal_work
and work A->normal_work are likely to share the same address(I confirmed this
with ftrace output, so I'm not just guessing, it's rare though).

When another kthread picks up work C->normal_work to process, and finds our
kthread is processing it(see find_worker_executing_work()), it'll think
work C as a collision and skip then, which ends up nobody processing work C.

So the situation is that our kthread is waiting forever on work C.

Besides, there're other cases that can lead to deadlock, but the real problem
is that all btrfs workqueue shares one work->func, -- normal_work_helper,
so this makes each workqueue to have its own helper function, but only a
wraper pf normal_work_helper.

With this patch, I no long hit the above hang.

Btrfs: fix filemap_flush call in btrfs_file_release

commit f6dc45c7a93a011dff6eb9b2ffda59c390c7705a upstream.

We should only be flushing on close if the file was flagged as needing
it during truncate.  I broke this with my ordered data vs transaction

Btrfs: fix crash on endio of reading corrupted block

2014-09-05T23:36:37+00:00

commit 38c1c2e44bacb37efd68b90b3f70386a8ee370ee upstream.

The crash is

------------[ cut here ]------------
kernel BUG at fs/btrfs/extent_io.c:2124!
[...]
Workqueue: btrfs-endio normal_work_helper [btrfs]
RIP: 0010:[]  [] end_bio_extent_readpage+0xb45/0xcd0 [btrfs]

This is in fact a regression.

It is because we forgot to increase @offset properly in reading corrupted block,
so that the @offset remains, and this leads to checksum errors while reading
left blocks queued up in the same bio, and then ends up with hiting the above
BUG_ON.

btrfs: disable strict file flushes for renames and truncates

2014-09-05T23:36:37+00:00

commit 8d875f95da43c6a8f18f77869f2ef26e9594fecc upstream.

Truncates and renames are often used to replace old versions of a file
with new versions.  Applications often expect this to be an atomic
replacement, even if they haven't done anything to make sure the new
version is fully on disk.

Btrfs has strict flushing in place to make sure that renaming over an
old file with a new file will fully flush out the new file before
allowing the transaction commit with the rename to complete.

This ordering means the commit code needs to be able to lock file pages,
and there are a few paths in the filesystem where we will try to end a
transaction with the page lock held.  It's rare, but these things can
deadlock.

This patch removes the ordered flushes and switches to a best effort
filemap_flush like ext4 uses. It's not perfect, but it should fix the
deadlocks.

Btrfs: fix compressed write corruption on enospc

2014-09-05T23:36:37+00:00

commit ce62003f690dff38d3164a632ec69efa15c32cbf upstream.

When failing to allocate space for the whole compressed extent, we'll
fallback to uncompressed IO, but we've forgotten to redirty the pages
which belong to this compressed extent, and these 'clean' pages will
simply skip 'submit' part and go to endio directly, at last we got data
corruption as we write nothing.

Btrfs: fix csum tree corruption, duplicate and outdated checksums

2014-09-05T23:36:36+00:00

commit 27b9a8122ff71a8cadfbffb9c4f0694300464f3b upstream.

Under rare circumstances we can end up leaving 2 versions of a checksum
for the same file extent range.

The reason for this is that after calling btrfs_next_leaf we process
slot 0 of the leaf it returns, instead of processing the slot set in
path->slots[0]. Most of the time (by far) path->slots[0] is 0, but after
btrfs_next_leaf() releases the path and before it searches for the next
leaf, another task might cause a split of the next leaf, which migrates
some of its keys to the leaf we were processing before calling
btrfs_next_leaf(). In this case btrfs_next_leaf() returns again the
same leaf but with path->slots[0] having a slot number corresponding
to the first new key it got, that is, a slot number that didn't exist
before calling btrfs_next_leaf(), as the leaf now has more keys than
it had before. So we must really process the returned leaf starting at
path->slots[0] always, as it isn't always 0, and the key at slot 0 can
have an offset much lower than our search offset/bytenr.

For example, consider the following scenario, where we have:

sums->bytenr: 40157184, sums->len: 16384, sums end: 40173568
four 4kb file data blocks with offsets 40157184, 40161280, 40165376, 40169472

  Leaf N:

    slot = 0                           slot = btrfs_header_nritems() - 1
  |-------------------------------------------------------------------|
  | [(CSUM CSUM 39239680), size 8] ... [(CSUM CSUM 40116224), size 4] |
  |-------------------------------------------------------------------|

  Leaf N + 1:

      slot = 0                          slot = btrfs_header_nritems() - 1
  |--------------------------------------------------------------------|
  | [(CSUM CSUM 40161280), size 32] ... [((CSUM CSUM 40615936), size 8 |
  |--------------------------------------------------------------------|

Because we are at the last slot of leaf N, we call btrfs_next_leaf() to
find the next highest key, which releases the current path and then searches
for that next key. However after releasing the path and before finding that
next key, the item at slot 0 of leaf N + 1 gets moved to leaf N, due to a call
to ctree.c:push_leaf_left() (via ctree.c:split_leaf()), and therefore
btrfs_next_leaf() will returns us a path again with leaf N but with the slot
pointing to its new last key (CSUM CSUM 40161280). This new version of leaf N
is then:

    slot = 0                        slot = btrfs_header_nritems() - 2  slot = btrfs_header_nritems() - 1
  |----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
  | [(CSUM CSUM 39239680), size 8] ... [(CSUM CSUM 40116224), size 4]  [(CSUM CSUM 40161280), size 32] |
  |----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

And incorrecly using slot 0, makes us set next_offset to 39239680 and we jump
into the "insert:" label, which will set tmp to:

    tmp = min((sums->len - total_bytes) >> blocksize_bits,
        (next_offset - file_key.offset) >> blocksize_bits) =
    min((16384 - 0) >> 12, (39239680 - 40157184) >> 12) =
    min(4, (u64)-917504 = 18446744073708634112 >> 12) = 4

and

   ins_size = csum_size * tmp = 4 * 4 = 16 bytes.

In other words, we insert a new csum item in the tree with key
(CSUM_OBJECTID CSUM_KEY 40157184 = sums->bytenr) that contains the checksums
for all the data (4 blocks of 4096 bytes each = sums->len). Which is wrong,
because the item with key (CSUM CSUM 40161280) (the one that was moved from
leaf N + 1 to the end of leaf N) contains the old checksums of the last 12288
bytes of our data and won't get those old checksums removed.

So this leaves us 2 different checksums for 3 4kb blocks of data in the tree,
and breaks the logical rule:

   Key_N+1.offset >= Key_N.offset + length_of_data_its_checksums_cover

An obvious bad effect of this is that a subsequent csum tree lookup to get
the checksum of any of the blocks with logical offset of 40161280, 40165376
or 40169472 (the last 3 4kb blocks of file data), will get the old checksums.

Btrfs: Fix memory corruption by ulist_add_merge() on 32bit arch

This indicates a NULL corruption in prefs_delayed list.  The further
investigation and bisection pointed that the call of ulist_add_merge()
results in the corruption.

ulist_add_merge() takes u64 as aux and writes a 64bit value into
old_aux.  The callers of this function in backref.c, however, pass a
pointer of a pointer to old_aux.  That is, the function overwrites
64bit value on 32bit pointer.  This caused a NULL in the adjacent
variable, in this case, prefs_delayed.

Here is a quick attempt to band-aid over this: a new function,
ulist_add_merge_ptr() is introduced to pass/store properly a pointer
value instead of u64.  There are still ugly void ** cast remaining
in the callers because void ** cannot be taken implicitly.  But, it's
safer than explicit cast to u64, anyway.
