If anyone has any objections, please let me know. =============== commit dbd5c8c9a28899c6ca719eb21afc0afba9dd5574 upstream. The total field from struct xfs_alloc_arg is a bit of an unknown commodity. It is documented as the total block requirement for the transaction and is used in this manner from most call sites by virtue of passing the total block reservation of the transaction associated with an allocation. Several xfs_bmapi_write() callers pass hardcoded values of 0 or 1 for the total block requirement, which is a historical oddity without any clear reasoning. The xfs_iomap_write_direct() caller, for example, passes 0 for the total block requirement. This has been determined to cause problems in the form of ABBA deadlocks of AGF buffers due to incorrect AG selection in the block allocator. Specifically, the xfs_alloc_space_available() function incorrectly selects an AG that doesn't actually have sufficient space for the allocation. This occurs because the args.total field is 0 and thus the remaining free space check on the AG doesn't actually consider the size of the allocation request. This locks the AGF buffer, the allocation attempt proceeds and ultimately fails (in xfs_alloc_fix_minleft()), and xfs_alloc_vexent() moves on to the next AG. In turn, this can lead to incorrect AG locking order (if the allocator wraps around, attempting to lock AG 0 after acquiring AG N) and thus deadlock if racing with another operation. This problem has been reproduced via generic/299 on smallish (1GB) ramdisk test devices. To avoid this problem, replace the undocumented hardcoded total parameters from the iomap and utility callers to pass the block reservation used for the associated transaction. This is consistent with other xfs_bmapi_write() callers throughout XFS. The assumption is that the total field allows the selection of an AG that can handle the entire operation rather than simply the allocation/range being requested (e.g., resulting btree splits, etc.). This addresses the aforementioned generic/299 hang by ensuring AG selection only occurs when the allocation can be satisfied by the AG.
