[PATCHSET v2 0/3] xfs: random fixes for 5.19-rc5

[PATCHSET v2 0/3] xfs: random fixes for 5.19-rc5

[Darrick J. Wong]

Hi all,

This week, we're fixing a log recovery regression that appeared in
5.19-rc1 due to an incorrect verifier patch, and a problem where closing
an O_RDONLY realtime file on a frozen fs incorrectly triggers eofblocks
removal.

v2: move the history of the leaf header count checks to the commit message

If you're going to start using this mess, you probably ought to just
pull from my git trees, which are linked below.

This is an extraordinary way to destroy everything.  Enjoy!
Comments and questions are, as always, welcome.

[PATCH 1/3] xfs: empty xattr leaf header blocks are not corruption

[Darrick J. Wong]

From: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@kernel.org>

TLDR: Revert commit 51e6104fdb95 ("xfs: detect empty attr leaf blocks in
xfs_attr3_leaf_verify") because it was wrong.

Every now and then we get a corruption report from the kernel or
xfs_repair about empty leaf blocks in the extended attribute structure.
We've long thought that these shouldn't be possible, but prior to 5.18
one would shake loose in the recoveryloop fstests about once a month.

A new addition to the xattr leaf block verifier in 5.19-rc1 makes this
happen every 7 minutes on my testing cloud.  I added a ton of logging to
detect any time we set the header count on an xattr leaf block to zero.
This produced the following dmesg output on generic/388:

XFS (sda4): ino 0x21fcbaf leaf 0x129bf78 hdcount==0!

So now we know that someone is creating empty xattr leaf blocks as part
of converting a sf xattr structure into a leaf xattr structure.  The
conversion routine logs any existing sf attributes in the same
transaction that creates the leaf block, so we know this is a setxattr
to a file that has no attributes at all.

Next, g/388 calls the shutdown ioctl and cycles the mount to trigger log
recovery.  I also augmented buffer item recovery to call ->verify_struct
on any attr leaf blocks and complain if it finds a failure:

XFS (sda4): Unmounting Filesystem

And a moment later, the _delwri_submit of the recovered buffers trips
the same verifier and recovery fails:

I think I see what's going on here -- setxattr is racing with something
that shuts down the filesystem:

As you can see, the bhold keeps the leaf buffer locked and thus prevents
the *AIL* from tripping over the ichdr.count==0 check in the write
verifier.  Unfortunately, it doesn't prevent the log from getting
flushed to disk, which sets up log recovery to fail.

So.  It's clear that the kernel has always had the ability to persist
attr leaf blocks with ichdr.count==0, which means that it's part of the
ondisk format now.

Unfortunately, this check has been added and removed multiple times
throughout history.  It first appeared in[1] kernel 3.10 as part of the
early V5 format patches.  The check was later discovered to break log
recovery and hence disabled[2] during log recovery in kernel 4.10.
Simultaneously, the check was added[3] to xfs_repair 4.9.0 to try to
weed out the empty leaf blocks.  This was still not correct because log
recovery would recover an empty attr leaf block successfully only for
regular xattr operations to trip over the empty block during of the
block during regular operation.  Therefore, the check was removed
entirely[4] in kernel 5.7 but removal of the xfs_repair check was
forgotten.  The continued complaints from xfs_repair lead to us
mistakenly re-adding[5] the verifier check for kernel 5.19.  Remove it
once again.

[2] 2e1d23370e75 ("xfs: ignore leaf attr ichdr.count in verifier

[5] 51e6104fdb95 ("xfs: detect empty attr leaf blocks in
                   xfs_attr3_leaf_verify")

Looking at the rest of the xattr code, it seems that files with empty
leaf blocks behave as expected -- listxattr reports no attributes;
getxattr on any xattr returns nothing as expected; removexattr does
nothing; and setxattr can add attributes just fine.

[PATCH 2/3] xfs: don't hold xattr leaf buffers across transaction rolls

[Darrick J. Wong]

From: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@kernel.org>

Now that we've established (again!) that empty xattr leaf buffers are
ok, we no longer need to bhold them to transactions when we're creating
new leaf blocks.  Get rid of the entire mechanism, which should simplify
the xattr code quite a bit.

The original justification for using bhold here was to prevent the AIL
from trying to write the empty leaf block into the fs during the brief
time that we release the buffer lock.  The reason for /that/ was to
prevent recovery from tripping over the empty ondisk block.

[PATCH 3/3] xfs: dont treat rt extents beyond EOF as eofblocks to be cleared

[Darrick J. Wong]

From: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@kernel.org>

On a system with a realtime volume and a 28k realtime extent,
generic/491 fails because the test opens a file on a frozen filesystem
and closing it causes xfs_release -> xfs_can_free_eofblocks to
mistakenly think that the the blocks of the realtime extent beyond EOF
are posteof blocks to be freed.  Realtime extents cannot be partially
unmapped, so this is pointless.  Worse yet, this triggers posteof
cleanup, which stalls on a transaction allocation, which is why the test
fails.

Teach the predicate to account for realtime extents properly.

Yup, the probability of that happening is pretty small, and there's
every chance it could have got stuck on something else racing with
the freeze.

In reality, I don't think that blocking in ->release on freeze is
inherently bad - it will just wait until the filesystem is thawed
and then continue on. i.e. just because the test hangs on closing a
fd on a frozen fs doesn't mean that the freeze mechanism is broken
in any way....

Snapshots. Open files at freeze time will result in post-eof blocks
existing in the snapshot. Mount the snapshot read-only ..... and
that's what the read-only check in xfs_release() catches......

I think there would still be a race if we did that -- I don't see
anything in __fput that prohibits another thread from initiating a
freeze after the release process calls _can_free_eofblocks but before
the actual call to _free_eofblocks.

Hm.  How often would we have a readonly fd pointing to a file that has
posteof blocks?  I suppose this could happen if the system was extending
a file, crashed, and then someone remounted, opened a ro fd, and then
closed and froze the fs at the same time...?

That looks to me like it is simply a case of replacing the

!xfs_fs_writeable(mp, SB_FREEZE_WRITE) check and we shouldn't have

I asked myself that question too.  I found three callers of this
predicate:

1. fallocate, which should have obtained freeze protection

2. inodegc, which should never be running when we get to the innermost
freeze protection level

3. xfs_release, which doesn't take freeze protection at all.  Either it
needs to take freeze protection so that xfs_free_eofblocks can't get
stuck in xfs_trans_alloc, or we'd need to modify xfs_trans_alloc to
sb_start_intwrite_trylock

I don't really want to try to add (3) as part of a fix for 5.19, but I
would like to get these fixes merged so I can concentrate on finding and
fixing the file corruption problems that are still present in -rc4.  If
we want to engineer a freeze/ro state check later, we can do that too.

So, can we move ahead with this fix?

Ok, that works.

However, I was looking at xfs_can_free_eofblocks() w.r.t. freeze a
couple of days ago and wondering why there isn't a freeze/RO state
check in xfs_can_free_eofblocks(). Shouldn't we have one here so
that we never try to run xfs_free_eofblocks() on RO/frozen
filesystems regardless of unexpected state/alignment issues?

Cheers,

Dave.

[PATCH 3/3] xfs: dont treat rt extents beyond EOF as eofblocks to be cleared

[Darrick J. Wong]

From: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@kernel.org>

On a system with a realtime volume and a 28k realtime extent,
generic/491 fails because the test opens a file on a frozen filesystem
and closing it causes xfs_release -> xfs_can_free_eofblocks to
mistakenly think that the the blocks of the realtime extent beyond EOF
are posteof blocks to be freed.  Realtime extents cannot be partially
unmapped, so this is pointless.  Worse yet, this triggers posteof
cleanup, which stalls on a transaction allocation, which is why the test
fails.

Teach the predicate to account for realtime extents properly.
