xfs_buf_read_uncached() has two failure modes. If can either return
NULL or bp->b_error != 0 depending on the type of failure, and not
all callers check for both. Fix it so that xfs_buf_read_uncached()
always returns the error status, and the buffer is returned as a
function parameter. The buffer will only be returned on success.Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner

There is a lot of cookie-cutter code that looks like:
if (shutdown)
handle buffer error
xfs_buf_iorequest(bp)
error = xfs_buf_iowait(bp)
if (error)
handle buffer errorspread through XFS. There's significant complexity now in
xfs_buf_iorequest() to specifically handle this sort of synchronous
IO pattern, but there's all sorts of nasty surprises in different
error handling code dependent on who owns the buffer references and
the locks.Pull this pattern into a single helper, where we can hide all the
synchronous IO warts and hence make the error handling for all the
callers much saner. This removes the need for a special extra
reference to protect IO completion processing, as we can now hold a
single reference across dispatch and waiting, simplifying the sync
IO smeantics and error handling.In doing this, also rename xfs_buf_iorequest to xfs_buf_submit and
make it explicitly handle on asynchronous IO. This forces all users
to be switched specifically to one interface or the other and
removes any ambiguity between how the interfaces are to be used. It
also means that xfs_buf_iowait() goes away.Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner

There is only one caller now - xfs_trans_read_buf_map() - and it has
very well defined call semantics - read, synchronous, and b_iodone
is NULL. Hence it's pretty clear what error handling is necessary
for this case. The bigger problem of untangling
xfs_trans_read_buf_map error handling is left to a future patch.Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner

Currently the report of a bio error from completion
immediately marks the buffer with an error. The issue is that this
is racy w.r.t. synchronous IO - the submitter can see b_error being
set before the IO is complete, and hence we cannot differentiate
between submission failures and completion failures.Add an internal b_io_error field protected by the b_lock to catch IO
completion errors, and only propagate that to the buffer during
final IO completion handling. Hence we can tell in xfs_buf_iorequest
if we've had a submission failure bey checking bp->b_error before
dropping our b_io_remaining reference - that reference will prevent
b_io_error values from being propagated to b_error in the event that
completion races with submission.Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner

We do some work in xfs_buf_ioend, and some work in

This work can all be done in a single function, leaving
xfs_buf_iodone just a wrapper to determine if we should execute it

Most of the callers are just calling ASSERT(!xfs_buf_geterror())
which means they are checking for bp->b_error == 0. If bp is null in
this case, we will assert fail, and hence it's no different in
result to oopsing because of a null bp. In some cases, errors have
already been checked for or the function returning the buffer can't
return a buffer with an error, so it's just a redundant assert.
Either way, the assert can either be removed.The other two non-assert callers can just test for a buffer and
error properly.Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner

Some time ago, mkfs.xfs started picking the storage physical
sector size as the default filesystem "sector size" in order
to avoid RMW costs incurred by doing IOs at logical sector
size alignments.However, this means that for a filesystem made with i.e.
a 4k sector size on an "advanced format" 4k/512 disk,
512-byte direct IOs are no longer allowed. This means
that XFS has essentially turned this AF drive into a hard
4K device, from the filesystem on up.XFS's mkfs-specified "sector size" is really just controlling
the minimum size & alignment of filesystem metadata.There is no real need to tightly couple XFS's minimal
metadata size to the minimum allowed direct IO size;
XFS can continue doing metadata in optimal sizes, but
still allow smaller DIOs for apps which issue them,
for whatever reason.This patch adds a new field to the xfs_buftarg, so that
we now track 2 sizes:1) The metadata sector size, which is the minimum unit and
alignment of IO which will be performed by metadata operations.
2) The device logical sector sizeThe first is used internally by the file system for metadata
alignment and IOs.
The second is used for the minimum allowed direct IO alignment.This has passed xfstests on filesystems made with 4k sectors,
including when run under the patch I sent to ignore
XFS_IOC_DIOINFO, and issue 512 DIOs anyway. I also directly
tested end of block behavior on preallocated, sparse, and
existing files when we do a 512 IO into a 4k file on a
4k-sector filesystem, to be sure there were no unexpected
behaviors.Signed-off-by: Eric Sandeen

If we are doing aysnc writeback of metadata, we can get write errors
but have nobody to report them to. At the moment, we simply attempt
to reissue the write from io completion in the hope that it's a
transient error.When it's not a transient error, the buffer is stuck forever in
this loop, and we cannot break out of it. Eventually, unmount will
hang because the AIL cannot be emptied and everything goes downhill
from them.To solve this problem, only retry the write IO once before aborting
it. We don't throw the buffer away because some transient errors can
last minutes (e.g. FC path failover) or even hours (thin
provisioned devices that have run out of backing space) before they
go away. Hence we really want to keep trying until we can't try any
more.Because the buffer was not cleaned, however, it does not get removed
from the AIL and hence the next pass across the AIL will start IO on
it again. As such, we still get the "retry forever" semantics that
we currently have, but we allow other access to the buffer in the
mean time. Meanwhile the filesystem can continue to modify the
buffer and relog it, so the IO errors won't hang the log or the
filesystem.Now when we are pushing the AIL, we can see all these "permanent IO
error" buffers and we can issue a warning about failures before we
retry the IO. We can also catch these buffers when unmounting an
issue a corruption warning, too.Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner

The xfsbdstrat helper is a small but useless wrapper for xfs_buf_iorequest that

a locked buffer.Remove xfsbdstrat and opencode the error handling in the callers. All but

In converting the buffer lru lists to use the generic code, the locking
for marking the buffers as on the dispose list was lost. This results in
confusion in LRU buffer tracking and acocunting, resulting in reference
counts being mucked up and filesystem beig unmountable.To fix this, introduce an internal buffer spinlock to protect the state
field that holds the dispose list information. Because there is now
locking needed around xfs_buf_lru_add/del, and they are used in exactly
one place each two lines apart, get rid of the wrappers and code the logic
directly in place.Further, the LRU emptying code used on unmount is less than optimal.
Convert it to use a dispose list as per a normal shrinker walk, and repeat
the walk that fills the dispose list until the LRU is empty. Thi avoids
needing to drop and regain the LRU lock for every item being freed, and
allows the same logic as the shrinker isolate call to be used. Simpler,
easier to understand.Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner

Commits starting at 77c1a08 introduced a multiple segment support
to xfs_buf. xfs_trans_buf_item_match() could not find a multi-segment
buffer in the transaction because it was looking at the single segment
block number rather than the multi-segment b_maps[0].bm.bn. This
results on a recursive buffer lock that can never be satisfied.This patch:
1) Changed the remaining b_map accesses to be b_maps[0] accesses.
2) Renames the single segment b_map structure to __b_map to avoid
future confusion.Signed-off-by: Mark Tinguely

To separate the verifiers from iodone functions and associate read

operations structure to the xfs_buf.This avoids the need for assigning the write verifier, clearing the
iodone function and re-running ioend processing in the read
verifier, and gets rid of the nasty "b_pre_io" name for the write
verifier function pointer. If we ever need to, it will also be
easier to add further content specific callbacks to a buffer with an
ops structure in place.We also avoid needing to export verifier functions, instead we
can simply export the ops structures for those that are needed
outside the function they are defined in.This patch also fixes a directory block readahead verifier issue

Add a verifier function callback capability to the buffer read
interfaces. This will be used by the callers to supply a function
that verifies the contents of the buffer when it is read from disk.
This patch does not provide callback functions, but simply modifies
the interfaces to allow them to be called.The reason for adding this to the read interfaces is that it is very
difficult to tell fom the outside is a buffer was just read from
disk or whether we just pulled it out of cache. Supplying a callbck
allows the buffer cache to use it's internal knowledge of the buffer
to execute it only when the buffer is read from disk.It is intended that the verifier functions will mark the buffer with
an EFSCORRUPTED error when verification fails. This allows the
reading context to distinguish a verification error from an IO
error, and potentially take further actions on the buffer (e.g.
attempt repair) based on the error reported.Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner

While xfs_buftarg_shrink() is freeing buffers from the dispose list (filled with
buffers from lru list), there is a possibility to have xfs_buf_stale() racing
with it, and removing buffers from dispose list before xfs_buftarg_shrink() does
it.This happens because xfs_buftarg_shrink() handle the dispose list without
locking and the test condition in xfs_buf_stale() checks for the buffer being in
*any* list:if (!list_empty(&bp->b_lru))
If the buffer happens to be on dispose list, this causes the buffer counter of
lru list (btp->bt_lru_nr) to be decremented twice (once in xfs_buftarg_shrink()
and another in xfs_buf_stale()) causing a wrong account usage of the lru list.This may cause xfs_buftarg_shrink() to return a wrong value to the memory
shrinker shrink_slab(), and such account error may also cause an underflowed
value to be returned; since the counter is lower than the current number of
items in the lru list, a decrement may happen when the counter is 0, causing
an underflow on the counter.The fix uses a new flag field (and a new buffer flag) to serialize buffer
handling during the shrink process. The new flag field has been designed to use
btp->bt_lru_lock/unlock instead of xfs_buf_lock/unlock mechanism.dchinner, sandeen, aquini and aris also deserve credits for this.

To support discontiguous buffers in the buffer cache, we need to

this relationship.However, for caching purposes, we can still treat them the same as a
contiguous buffer - the block number of the first block and the
length of the buffer - as that is still a unique representation.
Also, the only way we will ever access the discontiguous regions of
buffers is via bulding the complete buffer in the first place, so
using the initial block number and entire buffer length is a sane
way to index the buffers.Add a block mapping vector construct to the xfs_buf and use it in

Queue delwri buffers on a local on-stack list instead of a per-buftarg one,
and write back the buffers per-process instead of by waking up xfsbufd.This is now easily doable given that we have very few places left that write
delwri buffers:- log recovery:
Only done at mount time, and already forcing out the buffers
synchronously using xfs_flush_buftarg- quotacheck:
Same story.- dquot reclaim:
Writes out dirty dquots on the LRU under memory pressure. We might
want to look into doing more of this via xfsaild, but it's already
more optimal than the synchronous inode reclaim that writes each
buffer synchronously.- xfsaild:
This is the main beneficiary of the change. By keeping a local list
of buffers to write we reduce latency of writing out buffers, and
more importably we can remove all the delwri list promotions which
were hitting the buffer cache hard under sustained metadata loads.The implementation is very straight forward - xfs_buf_delwri_queue now gets
a new list_head pointer that it adds the delwri buffers to, and all callers
need to eventually submit the list using xfs_buf_delwi_submit or
xfs_buf_delwi_submit_nowait. Buffers that already are on a delwri list are
skipped in xfs_buf_delwri_queue, assuming they already are on another delwri
list. The biggest change to pass down the buffer list was done to the AIL
pushing. Now that we operate on buffers the trylock, push and pushbuf log
item methods are merged into a single push routine, which tries to lock the
item, and if possible add the buffer that needs writeback to the buffer list.
This leads to much simpler code than the previous split but requires the
individual IOP_PUSH instances to unlock and reacquire the AIL around calls
to blocking routines.Given that xfsailds now also handle writing out buffers, the conditions for
log forcing and the sleep times needed some small changes. The most
important one is that we consider an AIL busy as long we still have buffers
to push, and the other one is that we do increment the pushed LSN for
buffers that are under flushing at this moment, but still count them towards
the stuck items for restart purposes. Without this we could hammer on stuck
items without ever forcing the log and not make progress under heavy random
delete workloads on fast flash storage devices.[ Dave Chinner:
