This patchset implements creation of sysfs groups and attributes with
the purpose to show NILFS2 volume details, internal state of the driver
and to manage internal state of NILFS2 driver.
Sysfs is a virtual file system that exports information about devices
and drivers from the kernel device model to user space, and is also used
for configuration. NILFS2 is a complex file system that has segctor
thread, GC thread, checkpoint/snapshot model and so on. Sysfs namespace
provides native and easy way for: (1) getting info and statistics about
volume state; (2) getting info and configuration of internal subsystems
(segctor thread); (3) snapshots management.
Suggested patchset provides basis for managing segctor thread behaviour
and manipulation by snapshots. Currently, it informs only about segctor
thread's internal parameters and about mounted snapshots. But sysfs
interface can provide easy and simple way for deep management of segctor
thread and snapshots.
This patchset provides opportunity to manage interval of periodical
update of superblock (in seconds). Default value is 10 seconds. Now a
user can increase this value by means of
nilfs2/<device>/superblock/sb_update_frequency attribute in the case of
necessity.
Also the patchset provides opportunity to get information easily about
key volumes's parameters (free blocks, superblock write count,
superblock update frequency, latest segment info, dirty data blocks
count, count of clean segments, count of dirty segments and so on) in
real time manner. Such information can be used in scripts for subtle
management of filesystem.
Implemented functionality creates such groups:
(1) /sys/fs/nilfs2 - root group
(2) /sys/fs/nilfs2/features - group contains attributes that describe NILFS
file system driver features
(3) /sys/fs/nilfs2/<device> - group contains attributes that describe file
system partition's details
(4) /sys/fs/nilfs2/<device>/superblock - group contains attributes that describe
superblock's details
(5) /sys/fs/nilfs2/<device>/segctor - group contains attributes that describe
segctor thread activity details
(6) /sys/fs/nilfs2/<device>/segments - group contains attributes that describe
details about volume's segments
(7) /sys/fs/nilfs2/<device>/checkpoints - group contains attributes that describe
details about volume's checkpoints
(8) /sys/fs/nilfs2/<device>/mounted_snapshots - group contains group for every
mounted snapshot
(9) /sys/fs/nilfs2/<device>/mounted_snapshots/<snapshot> - group contains
details about mounted snapshot
This patch (of 9):
This patch adds code of creation /sys/fs/nilfs2 group and
/sys/fs/nilfs2/features group.
The features group contains attributes that describe NILFS
file system driver features:
(1) revision - show current revision of NILFS file system driver.
There are two formats of timestamp output - seconds and human-readable
format. Every showed timestamp has two sysfs files (time-<xxx> and
time-<xxx>-secs). One sysfs file (time-<xxx>) shows time in
human-readable format. Another sysfs file (time-<xxx>-secs) shows time in
seconds.
It was reported by Michael Semon that timestamp output in human-readable
format should be changed from "2014-4-12 14:5:38" to "2014-04-12
14:05:38". Second version of the patch fixes this issue.

Add code to check sizes of on-disk data of metadata files such as inode
size, segment usage size, DAT entry size, and checkpoint size. Although
these sizes are read from disk, the current implementation doesn't check
them.
If these sizes are not sane on disk, it can cause out-of-range access to
metadata or memory access overrun on metadata block buffers due to
overflow in sundry calculations.
Both lower limit and upper limit of metadata sizes are verified to
prevent these issues.

With this ioctl the segment usage entries in the SUFILE can be updated
from userspace.
This is useful, because it allows the userspace GC to modify and update
segment usage entries for specific segments, which enables it to avoid
unnecessary write operations.
If a segment needs to be cleaned, but there is no or very little
reclaimable space in it, the cleaning operation basically degrades to a
useless moving operation. In the end the only thing that changes is the
location of the data and a timestamp in the segment usage information.
With this ioctl the GC can skip the cleaning and update the segment
usage entries directly instead.
This is basically a shortcut to cleaning the segment. It is still
necessary to read the segment summary information, but the writing of
the live blocks can be skipped if it's not worth it.

Reclaim will be leaving shadow entries in the page cache radix tree upon
evicting the real page. As those pages are found from the LRU, an
iput() can lead to the inode being freed concurrently. At this point,
reclaim must no longer install shadow pages because the inode freeing
code needs to ensure the page tree is really empty.
Add an address_space flag, AS_EXITING, that the inode freeing code sets
under the tree lock before doing the final truncate. Reclaim will check
for this flag before installing shadow pages.

The local variable 'pos' in nilfs_ioctl_wrap_copy function can overflow if
a large number was passed to argv->v_index from userspace and the sum of
argv->v_index and argv->v_nmembs exceeds the maximum value of __u64 type
integer (= ~(__u64)0 = 18446744073709551615).
Here, argv->v_index is a 64-bit width argument to specify the start
position of target data items (such as segment number, checkpoint number,
or virtual block address of nilfs), and argv->v_nmembs gives the total
number of the items that userland programs (such as lssu, lscp, or
cleanerd) want to get information about, which also gives the maximum
element count of argv->v_base[] array.
nilfs_ioctl_wrap_copy() calls dofunc() repeatedly and increments the
position variable 'pos' at the end of each iteration if dofunc() itself
didn't update 'pos':
if (pos == ppos)
pos += n;
This patch prevents the overflow here by rejecting pairs of a start
position (argv->v_index) and a total count (argv->v_nmembs) which leads to
the overflow.

There is a bug in the function nilfs_segctor_collect, which results in
active data being written to a segment, that is marked as clean. It is
possible, that this segment is selected for a later segment
construction, whereby the old data is overwritten.
The problem shows itself with the following kernel log message:
nilfs_sufile_do_cancel_free: segment 6533 must be clean
Usually a few hours later the file system gets corrupted:
NILFS: bad btree node (blocknr=8748107): level = 0, flags = 0x0, nchildren = 0
NILFS error (device sdc1): nilfs_bmap_last_key: broken bmap (inode number=114660)
The issue can be reproduced with a file system that is nearly full and
with the cleaner running, while some IO intensive task is running.
Although it is quite hard to reproduce.
This is what happens:
1. The cleaner starts the segment construction
2. nilfs_segctor_collect is called
3. sc_stage is on NILFS_ST_SUFILE and segments are freed
4. sc_stage is on NILFS_ST_DAT current segment is full
5. nilfs_segctor_extend_segments is called, which
allocates a new segment
6. The new segment is one of the segments freed in step 3
7. nilfs_sufile_cancel_freev is called and produces an error message
8. Loop around and the collection starts again
9. sc_stage is on NILFS_ST_SUFILE and segments are freed
including the newly allocated segment, which will contain active
data and can be allocated at a later time
10. A few hours later another segment construction allocates the
segment and causes file system corruption
This can be prevented by simply reordering the statements. If
nilfs_sufile_cancel_freev is called before nilfs_segctor_extend_segments
the freed segments are marked as dirty and cannot be allocated any more.

Many NILFS2 users were reported about strange file system corruption
(for example):
NILFS: bad btree node (blocknr=185027): level = 0, flags = 0x0, nchildren = 768
NILFS error (device sda4): nilfs_bmap_last_key: broken bmap (inode number=11540)
But such error messages are consequence of file system's issue that takes
place more earlier. Fortunately, Jerome Poulin <jeromepoulin@gmail.com>
and Anton Eliasson <devel@antoneliasson.se> were reported about another
issue not so recently. These reports describe the issue with segctor
thread's crash:
BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 0000000000004c83

These two issues have one reason. This reason can raise third issue
too. Third issue results in hanging of segctor thread with eating of
100% CPU.
REPRODUCING PATH:
One of the possible way or the issue reproducing was described by
Jermoe me Poulin <jeromepoulin@gmail.com>:
1. init S to get to single user mode.
2. sysrq+E to make sure only my shell is running
3. start network-manager to get my wifi connection up
4. login as root and launch "screen"
5. cd /boot/log/nilfs which is a ext3 mount point and can log when NILFS dies.
6. lscp | xz -9e > lscp.txt.xz
7. mount my snapshot using mount -o cp=3360839,ro /dev/vgUbuntu/root /mnt/nilfs
8. start a screen to dump /proc/kmsg to text file since rsyslog is killed
9. start a screen and launch strace -f -o find-cat.log -t find
/mnt/nilfs -type f -exec cat {} > /dev/null \;
10. start a screen and launch strace -f -o apt-get.log -t apt-get update
11. launch the last command again as it did not crash the first time
12. apt-get crashes
13. ps aux > ps-aux-crashed.log
13. sysrq+W
14. sysrq+E wait for everything to terminate
15. sysrq+SUSB
Simplified way of the issue reproducing is starting kernel compilation
task and "apt-get update" in parallel.
REPRODUCIBILITY:
The issue is reproduced not stable [60% - 80%]. It is very important to
have proper environment for the issue reproducing. The critical
conditions for successful reproducing:
(1) It should have big modified file by mmap() way.
(2) This file should have the count of dirty blocks are greater that
several segments in size (for example, two or three) from time to time
during processing.
(3) It should be intensive background activity of files modification
in another thread.
INVESTIGATION:
First of all, it is possible to see that the reason of crash is not valid
page address:
NILFS [nilfs_segctor_complete_write]:2100 bh->b_count 0, bh->b_blocknr 13895680, bh->b_size 13897727, bh->b_page 0000000000001a82
NILFS [nilfs_segctor_complete_write]:2101 segbuf->sb_segnum 6783
Moreover, value of b_page (0x1a82) is 6786. This value looks like segment
number. And b_blocknr with b_size values look like block numbers. So,
buffer_head's pointer points on not proper address value.

BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 0000000000001a82
IP: [<ffffffffa024d0f2>] nilfs_end_page_io+0x12/0xd0 [nilfs2]
Usually, for every segment we collect dirty files in list. Then, dirty
blocks are gathered for every dirty file, prepared for write and
submitted by means of nilfs_segbuf_submit_bh() call. Finally, it takes
place complete write phase after calling nilfs_end_bio_write() on the
block layer. Buffers/pages are marked as not dirty on final phase and
processed files removed from the list of dirty files.
It is possible to see that we had three prepare_write and submit_bio
phases before segbuf_wait and complete_write phase. Moreover, segments
compete between each other for dirty blocks because on every iteration
of segments processing dirty buffer_heads are added in several lists of
payload_buffers:
[SEGMENT 6784]: bh->b_assoc_buffers.next ffff880218a0d5f8, bh->b_assoc_buffers.prev ffff880218bcdf50
[SEGMENT 6785]: bh->b_assoc_buffers.next ffff880218a0d5f8, bh->b_assoc_buffers.prev ffff880222cc7ee8
The next pointer is the same but prev pointer has changed. It means
that buffer_head has next pointer from one list but prev pointer from
another. Such modification can be made several times. And, finally, it
can be resulted in various issues: (1) segctor hanging, (2) segctor
crashing, (3) file system metadata corruption.
FIX:
This patch adds:
(1) setting of BH_Async_Write flag in nilfs_segctor_prepare_write()
for every proccessed dirty block;
(2) checking of BH_Async_Write flag in
nilfs_lookup_dirty_data_buffers() and
nilfs_lookup_dirty_node_buffers();
(3) clearing of BH_Async_Write flag in nilfs_segctor_complete_write(),
nilfs_abort_logs(), nilfs_forget_buffer(), nilfs_clear_dirty_page().

The sb_nbio must be incremented exactly the same number of times as
complete() function was called (or will be called) because
nilfs_segbuf_wait() will call wail_for_completion() for the number of

Currently, NILFS2 returns 0 as free inodes count (f_ffree) and current

This patch implements real calculation of free inodes count. First of
all, it is calculated total file nodes in file system as
(desc_blocks_count * groups_per_desc_block * entries_per_group). Then, it
is calculated free inodes count as difference the total file nodes and
used inodes count. As a result, we have such output for NILFS2:

nilfs2: fix issue of nilfs_set_page_dirty for page at EOF boundary
DESCRIPTION:
There are use-cases when NILFS2 file system (formatted with block size
lesser than 4 KB) can be remounted in RO mode because of encountering of
"broken bmap" issue.
The issue was reported by Anthony Doggett <Anthony2486@interfaces.org.uk>:
"The machine I've been trialling nilfs on is running Debian Testing,
Linux version 3.2.0-4-686-pae (debian-kernel@lists.debian.org) (gcc
version 4.6.3 (Debian 4.6.3-14) ) #1 SMP Debian 3.2.35-2), but I've
also reproduced it (identically) with Debian Unstable amd64 and Debian
Experimental (using the 3.8-trunk kernel). The problematic partitions
were formatted with "mkfs.nilfs2 -b 1024 -B 8192"."
SYMPTOMS:
(1) System log contains error messages likewise:
[63102.496756] nilfs_direct_assign: invalid pointer: 0
[63102.496786] NILFS error (device dm-17): nilfs_bmap_assign: broken bmap (inode number=28)
[63102.496798]
[63102.524403] Remounting filesystem read-only
(2) The NILFS2 file system is remounted in RO mode.
REPRODUSING PATH:
(1) Create volume group with name "unencrypted" by means of vgcreate utility.
(2) Run script (prepared by Anthony Doggett <Anthony2486@interfaces.org.uk>):
----------------[BEGIN SCRIPT]--------------------
VG=unencrypted
lvcreate --size 2G --name ntest $VG
mkfs.nilfs2 -b 1024 -B 8192 /dev/mapper/$VG-ntest
mkdir /var/tmp/n
mkdir /var/tmp/n/ntest
mount /dev/mapper/$VG-ntest /var/tmp/n/ntest
mkdir /var/tmp/n/ntest/thedir
cd /var/tmp/n/ntest/thedir
sleep 2
date
darcs init
sleep 2
dmesg|tail -n 5
date
darcs whatsnew || true
date
sleep 2
dmesg|tail -n 5
----------------[END SCRIPT]--------------------
REPRODUCIBILITY: 100%
INVESTIGATION:
As it was discovered, the issue takes place during segment
construction after executing such sequence of user-space operations:
open("_darcs/index", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_NOCTTY, 0666) = 7
fstat(7, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
ftruncate(7, 60)
The error message "NILFS error (device dm-17): nilfs_bmap_assign: broken
bmap (inode number=28)" takes place because of trying to get block
number for third block of the file with logical offset #3072 bytes. As
it is possible to see from above output, the file has 60 bytes of the
whole size. So, it is enough one block (1 KB in size) allocation for
the whole file. Trying to operate with several blocks instead of one
takes place because of discovering several dirty buffers for this file
in nilfs_segctor_scan_file() method.
The root cause of this issue is in nilfs_set_page_dirty function which
is called just before writing to an mmapped page.
When nilfs_page_mkwrite function handles a page at EOF boundary, it
fills hole blocks only inside EOF through __block_page_mkwrite().
The __block_page_mkwrite() function calls set_page_dirty() after filling
hole blocks, thus nilfs_set_page_dirty function (=
a_ops->set_page_dirty) is called. However, the current implementation
of nilfs_set_page_dirty() wrongly marks all buffers dirty even for page
at EOF boundary.
As a result, buffers outside EOF are inconsistently marked dirty and
queued for write even though they are not mapped with nilfs_get_block
function.
FIX:
This modifies nilfs_set_page_dirty() not to mark hole blocks dirty.
Thanks to Vyacheslav Dubeyko for his effort on analysis and proposals
for this issue.

The NILFS2 driver remounts itself in RO mode in the case of discovering
metadata corruption (for example, discovering a broken bmap). But
usually, this takes place when there have been file system operations
before remounting in RO mode.
Thereby, NILFS2 driver can be in RO mode with presence of dirty pages in
modified inodes' address spaces. It results in flush kernel thread's
infinite trying to flush dirty pages in RO mode. As a result, it is
possible to see such side effects as: (1) flush kernel thread occupies
50% - 99% of CPU time; (2) system can't be shutdowned without manual
power switch off.
SYMPTOMS:
(1) System log contains error message: "Remounting filesystem read-only".
(2) The flush kernel thread occupies 50% - 99% of CPU time.
(3) The system can't be shutdowned without manual power switch off.
REPRODUCTION PATH:
(1) Create volume group with name "unencrypted" by means of vgcreate utility.
(2) Run script (prepared by Anthony Doggett <Anthony2486@interfaces.org.uk>):

REPRODUCIBILITY: 100%
FIX:
This patch implements checking mount state of NILFS2 driver in
nilfs_writepage(), nilfs_writepages() and nilfs_mdt_write_page()
methods. If it is detected the RO mount state then all dirty pages are
simply discarded with warning messages is written in system log.

Modify the request_module to prefix the file system type with "fs-"
and add aliases to all of the filesystems that can be built as modules
to match.
A common practice is to build all of the kernel code and leave code
that is not commonly needed as modules, with the result that many
users are exposed to any bug anywhere in the kernel.
Looking for filesystems with a fs- prefix limits the pool of possible
modules that can be loaded by mount to just filesystems trivially
making things safer with no real cost.
Using aliases means user space can control the policy of which
filesystem modules are auto-loaded by editing /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf
with blacklist and alias directives. Allowing simple, safe,
well understood work-arounds to known problematic software.
This also addresses a rare but unfortunate problem where the filesystem
name is not the same as it's module name and module auto-loading
would not work. While writing this patch I saw a handful of such
cases. The most significant being autofs that lives in the module
autofs4.
This is relevant to user namespaces because we can reach the request
module in get_fs_type() without having any special permissions, and
people get uncomfortable when a user specified string (in this case
the filesystem type) goes all of the way to request_module.
After having looked at this issue I don't think there is any
particular reason to perform any filtering or permission checks beyond
making it clear in the module request that we want a filesystem
module. The common pattern in the kernel is to call request_module()
without regards to the users permissions. In general all a filesystem
module does once loaded is call register_filesystem() and go to sleep.
Which means there is not much attack surface exposed by loading a
filesytem module unless the filesystem is mounted. In a user
namespace filesystems are not mounted unless .fs_flags = FS_USERNS_MOUNT,
which most filesystems do not set today.

Create a helper function to check if a backing device requires stable
page writes and, if so, performs the necessary wait. Then, make it so
that all points in the memory manager that handle making pages writable
use the helper function. This should provide stable page write support
to most filesystems, while eliminating unnecessary waiting for devices
that don't require the feature.
Before this patchset, all filesystems would block, regardless of whether
or not it was necessary. ext3 would wait, but still generate occasional
checksum errors. The network filesystems were left to do their own
thing, so they'd wait too.
After this patchset, all the disk filesystems except ext3 and btrfs will
wait only if the hardware requires it. ext3 (if necessary) snapshots
pages instead of blocking, and btrfs provides its own bdi so the mm will
never wait. Network filesystems haven't been touched, so either they
provide their own stable page guarantees or they don't block at all.
The blocking behavior is back to what it was before 3.0 if you don't
have a disk requiring stable page writes.
Here's the result of using dbench to test latency on ext2:
3.8.0-rc3:
Operation Count AvgLat MaxLat
----------------------------------------
WriteX 109347 0.028 59.817
ReadX 347180 0.004 3.391
Flush 15514 29.828 287.283
Throughput 57.429 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=287.290 ms
3.8.0-rc3 + patches:
WriteX 105556 0.029 4.273
ReadX 335004 0.005 4.112
Flush 14982 30.540 298.634
Throughput 55.4496 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=298.650 ms
As you can see, the maximum write latency drops considerably with this
patch enabled. The other filesystems (ext3/ext4/xfs/btrfs) behave
similarly, but see the cover letter for those results.

Here is the big driver core merge for 3.9-rc1
There are two major series here, both of which touch lots of drivers all
over the kernel, and will cause you some merge conflicts:
- add a new function called devm_ioremap_resource() to properly be
able to check return values.
- remove CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL
If you need me to provide a merged tree to handle these resolutions,
please let me know.
Other than those patches, there's not much here, some minor fixes and
updates.

There exists a situation when GC can work in background alone without
any other filesystem activity during significant time.
The nilfs_clean_segments() method calls nilfs_segctor_construct() that
updates superblocks in the case of NILFS_SC_SUPER_ROOT and
THE_NILFS_DISCONTINUED flags are set. But when GC is working alone the
nilfs_clean_segments() is called with unset THE_NILFS_DISCONTINUED flag.
As a result, the update of superblocks doesn't occurred all this time
and in the case of SPOR superblocks keep very old values of last super
root placement.
SYMPTOMS:
Trying to mount a NILFS2 volume after SPOR in such environment ends with
very long mounting time (it can achieve about several hours in some
cases).
REPRODUCING PATH:
1. It needs to use external USB HDD, disable automount and doesn't
make any additional filesystem activity on the NILFS2 volume.
2. Generate temporary file with size about 100 - 500 GB (for example,
dd if=/dev/zero of=<file_name> bs=1073741824 count=200). The size of
file defines duration of GC working.
3. Then it needs to delete file.
4. Start GC manually by means of command "nilfs-clean -p 0". When you
start GC by means of such way then, at the end, superblocks is updated
by once. So, for simulation of SPOR, it needs to wait sometime (15 -
40 minutes) and simply switch off USB HDD manually.
5. Switch on USB HDD again and try to mount NILFS2 volume. As a
result, NILFS2 volume will mount during very long time.
REPRODUCIBILITY: 100%
FIX:
This patch adds checking that superblocks need to update and set
THE_NILFS_DISCONTINUED flag before nilfs_clean_segments() call.

The CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL config item has not carried much meaning for a
while now and is almost always enabled by default. As agreed during the
Linux kernel summit, remove it from any "depends on" lines in Kconfigs.
