Before this patch, function gfs2_meta_sync called filemap_fdatawrite to write
the address space for the metadata being synced. That's great for inodes, but
resource groups all point to the same superblock-address space, sdp->sd_aspace.
Each rgrp has its own range of blocks on which it should operate. That meant
every time an rgrp's metadata was synced, it would write all of them instead
of just the range.This patch eliminates function gfs2_meta_sync and tailors specific metasync
functions for inodes and rgrps.Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson

Apply the outstanding statfs changes in the journal head to the
master statfs file. Zero out the local statfs file for good measure.Previously, statfs updates would be read in from the local statfs inode and
synced to the master statfs inode during recovery.We now use the statfs updates in the journal head to update the master statfs
inode instead of reading in from the local statfs inode. To preserve backward
compatibility with kernels that can't do this, we still need to keep the
local statfs inode up to date by writing changes to it. At some point in the
future, we can do away with the local statfs inodes altogether and keep the
statfs changes solely in the journal.Signed-off-by: Abhi Das

Using uninitialized_var() is dangerous as it papers over real bugs[1]

Fix several issues in the previous gfs2_find_jhead fix:
* When updating @blocks_submitted, @block refers to the first block block not
submitted yet, not the last block submitted, so fix an off-by-one error.
* We want to ensure that @blocks_submitted is far enough ahead of @blocks_read
to guarantee that there is in-flight I/O. Otherwise, we'll eventually end up
waiting for pages that haven't been submitted, yet.
* It's much easier to compare the number of blocks added with the number of
blocks submitted to limit the maximum bio size.
* Even with bio chaining, we can keep adding blocks until we reach the maximum
bio size, as long as we stop at a page boundary. This simplifies the logic.Signed-off-by: Andreas Gruenbacher

It turns out that when extending an existing bio, gfs2_find_jhead fails to
check if the block number is consecutive, which leads to incorrect reads for
fragmented journals.In addition, limit the maximum bio size to an arbitrary value of 2 megabytes:
since commit 07173c3ec276 ("block: enable multipage bvecs"), if we just keep
adding pages until bio_add_page fails, bios will grow much larger than useful,
which pins more memory than necessary with barely any additional performance
gains.Fixes: f4686c26ecc3 ("gfs2: read journal in large chunks")

Before this patch, function gfs2_end_log_write would detect any IO
errors writing to the journal and put out an appropriate message,
but it never set a withdrawing condition. Eventually, the log daemon
would see the error and determine it was time to withdraw, but in
the meantime, other processes could continue running as if nothing
bad ever happened. The biggest consequence is that __gfs2_glock_put
would BUG() when it saw that there were still unwritten items.This patch sets the WITHDRAWING status as soon as an IO error is
detected, and that way, the BUG will be avoided so the file system
can be properly withdrawn and unmounted.Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson

after it had been freed. To do that, it temporarily added a new glock
reference by calling gfs2_glock_hold in function gfs2_add_revoke.
However, if the bd element was removed by gfs2_trans_remove_revoke, it
failed to drop the additional reference.This patch adds logic to gfs2_trans_remove_revoke to properly drop the

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

Before this patch, if a glock error was encountered, the glock with
the problem was dumped. But sometimes you may have lots of file systems
mounted, and that doesn't tell you which file system it was for.This patch adds a new boolean parameter fsid to the dump_glock family
of functions. For non-error cases, such as dumping the glocks debugfs
file, the fsid is not dumped in order to keep lock dumps and glocktop
as clean as possible. For all error cases, such as GLOCK_BUG_ON, the
file system id is now printed. This will make it easier to debug.Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson

This patch adds some instrumentation in gfs2's journal replay that
indicates when we're about to overwrite a rgrp for which we already
have a valid buffer_head.When this problem occurs, it's a situation in which this node has
been granted a rgrp glock and subsequently read in buffer_heads for
it, and possibly even made changes to the rgrp bits and/or
allocation values. But now another node has failed and forced us to
replay its journal, but its journal contains a copy of the same
rgrp, without a revoke, which means we're about to overwrite a
rgrp that we now rightfully own, with an obsolete copy. That is
always a problem. It means the other node (which failed and left
its journal to be replayed) failed to flush out its rgrp buffers,
write out the revoke, and invalidate its copy before it released
the glock to our possession.No node should ever release a glock until its metadata has been
written to the journal and revoked and invalidated..We also kludge around the problem and refuse to replace our good
copy with the journals bad copy by not marking the buffer dirty,
but never do it silently. That's wallpapering over a larger problem
that still exists. IOW, if this situation can happen to this node,
it can also happen to a different node and we wouldn't even know it
or be able to circumvent it: Suppose we have a 3-node cluster:
Node 1 fails, leaving an obsolete rgrp block in its journal without
a revoke. Node 2 grabs the rgrp as soon as the rgrp glock is
released and starts making changes, allocating and freeing blocks
from the rgrp, etc. Node 3 replays the journal from node 1,
oblivious and unaware that it's about to overwrite node 2's changes.
So we still need to be vocal and log the error to make it apparent
that a corruption path still exists in gfs2.Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson

The gl_revokes value determines how many outstanding revokes a glock has
on the superblock revokes list; this is used to avoid unnecessary log
flushes. However, gl_revokes is only ever tested for being zero, and it's
only decremented in revoke_lo_after_commit, which removes all revokes
from the list, so we know that the gl_revoke values of all the glocks on
the list will reach zero. Therefore, we can replace gl_revokes with a
bit flag. This saves an atomic counter in struct gfs2_glock.Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson

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.Reported-by: Ross Lagerwall

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.This patch also tries to establish more consistency when passing journal
block parameters by changing several unsigned int types to a consistent
u32.Fixes: 588bff95c94e ("GFS2: Reduce code redundancy writing log headers")

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.Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson

This way we don't need a block_device structure to submit I/O. The
block_device has different life time rules from the gendisk and
request_queue and is usually only available when the block device node
is open. Other callers need to explicitly create one (e.g. the lightnvm
passthrough code, or the new nvme multipathing code).For the actual I/O path all that we need is the gendisk, which exists
once per block device. But given that the block layer also does
partition remapping we additionally need a partition index, which is
used for said remapping in generic_make_request.Note that all the block drivers generally want request_queue or
sometimes the gendisk, so this removes a layer of indirection all
over the stack.Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig

Pull Writeback error handling updates from Jeff Layton:
"This pile represents the bulk of the writeback error handling fixes
that I have for this cycle. Some of the earlier patches in this pile
may look trivial but they are prerequisites for later patches in the
series.The aim of this set is to improve how we track and report writeback
errors to userland. Most applications that care about data integrity
will periodically call fsync/fdatasync/msync to ensure that their
writes have made it to the backing store.For a very long time, we have tracked writeback errors using two flags
in the address_space: AS_EIO and AS_ENOSPC. Those flags are set when a
writeback error occurs (via mapping_set_error) and are cleared as a
side-effect of filemap_check_errors (as you noted yesterday). This
model really sucks for userland.Only the first task to call fsync (or msync or fdatasync) will see the
error. Any subsequent task calling fsync on a file will get back 0
(unless another writeback error occurs in the interim). If I have
several tasks writing to a file and calling fsync to ensure that their
writes got stored, then I need to have them coordinate with one
another. That's difficult enough, but in a world of containerized
setups that coordination may even not be possible.But wait...it gets worse!
The calls to filemap_check_errors can be buried pretty far down in the
call stack, and there are internal callers of filemap_write_and_wait
and the like that also end up clearing those errors. Many of those
callers ignore the error return from that function or return it to
userland at nonsensical times (e.g. truncate() or stat()). If I get
back -EIO on a truncate, there is no reason to think that it was
because some previous writeback failed, and a subsequent fsync() will
(incorrectly) return 0.This pile aims to do three things:
1) ensure that when a writeback error occurs that that error will be
reported to userland on a subsequent fsync/fdatasync/msync call,
regardless of what internal callers are doing2) report writeback errors on all file descriptions that were open at
the time that the error occurred. This is a user-visible change,
but I think most applications are written to assume this behavior
anyway. Those that aren't are unlikely to be hurt by it.3) document what filesystems should do when there is a writeback
error. Today, there is very little consistency between them, and a
lot of cargo-cult copying. We need to make it very clear what
filesystems should do in this situation.To achieve this, the set adds a new data type (errseq_t) and then
builds new writeback error tracking infrastructure around that. Once
all of that is in place, we change the filesystems to use the new
infrastructure for reporting wb errors to userland.Note that this is just the initial foray into cleaning up this mess.
There is a lot of work remaining here:1) convert the rest of the filesystems in a similar fashion. Once the
initial set is in, then I think most other fs' will be fairly
simple to convert. Hopefully most of those can in via individual
filesystem trees.2) convert internal waiters on writeback to use errseq_t for
detecting errors instead of relying on the AS_* flags. I have some
draft patches for this for ext4, but they are not quite ready for
prime time yet.This was a discussion topic this year at LSF/MM too. If you're
interested in the gory details, LWN has some good articles about this:https://lwn.net/Articles/718734/

I noticed on xfs that I could still sometimes get back an error on fsync
on a fd that was opened after the error condition had been cleared.The problem is that the buffer code sets the write_io_error flag and
then later checks that flag to set the error in the mapping. That flag
perisists for quite a while however. If the file is later opened with
O_TRUNC, the buffers will then be invalidated and the mapping's error
set such that a subsequent fsync will return error. I think this is
incorrect, as there was no writeback between the open and fsync.Add a new mark_buffer_write_io_error operation that sets the flag and
the error in the mapping at the same time. Replace all calls to
set_buffer_write_io_error with mark_buffer_write_io_error, and remove
the places that check this flag in order to set the error in the
mapping.This sets the error in the mapping earlier, at the time that it's first
detected.Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton
