The zero range operation is analogous to fallocate with the exception of
converting the range to zeroes. E.g., it attempts to allocate zeroed
blocks over the range specified by the caller. The XFS implementation
kills all delalloc blocks currently over the aligned range, converts the
range to allocated zero blocks (unwritten extents) and handles the
partial pages at the ends of the range by sending writes through the
pagecache.
The current implementation suffers from several problems associated with
inode size. If the aligned range covers an extending I/O, said I/O is
discarded and an inode size update from a previous write never makes it
to disk. Further, if an unaligned zero range extends beyond eof, the
page write induced for the partial end page can itself increase the
inode size, even if the zero range request is not supposed to update
i_size (via KEEP_SIZE, similar to an fallocate beyond EOF).
The latter behavior not only incorrectly increases the inode size, but
can lead to stray delalloc blocks on the inode. Typically, post-eof
preallocation blocks are either truncated on release or inode eviction
or explicitly written to by xfs_zero_eof() on natural file size
extension. If the inode size increases due to zero range, however,
associated blocks leak into the address space having never been
converted or mapped to pagecache pages. A direct I/O to such an
uncovered range cannot convert the extent via writeback and will BUG().
For example:
$ xfs_io -fc "pwrite 0 128k" -c "fzero -k 1m 54321" <file>
...
$ xfs_io -d -c "pread 128k 128k" <file>
<BUG>
If the entire delalloc extent happens to not have page coverage
whatsoever (e.g., delalloc conversion couldn't find a large enough free
space extent), even a full file writeback won't convert what's left of
the extent and we'll assert on inode eviction.
Rework xfs_zero_file_space() to avoid buffered I/O for partial pages.
Use the existing hole punch and prealloc mechanisms as primitives for
zero range. This implementation is not efficient nor ideal as we
writeback dirty data over the range and remove existing extents rather
than convert to unwrittern. The former writeback, however, is currently
the only mechanism available to ensure consistency between pagecache and
extent state. Even a pagecache truncate/delalloc punch prior to hole
punch has lead to inconsistencies due to racing with writeback.
This provides a consistent, correct implementation of zero range that
survives fsstress/fsx testing without assert failures. The
implementation can be optimized from this point forward once the
fundamental issue of pagecache and delalloc extent state consistency is
addressed.

XFS currently discards delalloc blocks within the target range of a
zero range request. Unaligned start and end offsets are zeroed
through the page cache and the internal, aligned blocks are
converted to unwritten extents.
If EOF is page aligned and covered by a delayed allocation extent.
The inode size is not updated until I/O completion. If a zero range
request discards a delalloc range that covers page aligned EOF as
such, the inode size update never occurs. For example:
$ rm -f /mnt/file
$ xfs_io -fc "pwrite 0 64k" -c "zero 60k 4k" /mnt/file
$ stat -c "%s" /mnt/file
65536
$ umount /mnt
$ mount <dev> /mnt
$ stat -c "%s" /mnt/file
61440
Update xfs_zero_file_space() to flush the range rather than discard
delalloc blocks to ensure that inode size updates occur
appropriately.

spread 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

the locks.
Pull this pattern into a single helper, where we can hide all the

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

removes any ambiguity between how the interfaces are to be used. It

The collapse range operation currently writes the entire file before

writeback causing the extent count to change. Now that collapse range is
fsb based rather than extent index based it can sustain changes in the
extent list during the shift sequence without disruption.
Modify xfs_collapse_file_space() to writeback and invalidate pages
associated with the range of the file to be shifted.
xfs_free_file_space() currently has similar behavior, but the space free
need only affect the region of the file that is freed and this could
change in the future.
Also update the comments to reflect the current implementation. We
retain the eofblocks trim permanently as a best option for dealing with
delalloc extents. We don't shift delalloc extents because this scenario
only occurs with post-eof preallocation (since data must be flushed such
that the cache can be invalidated and data can be shifted). That means
said space must also be initialized before being shifted into the
accessible region of the file only to be immediately truncated off as
the last part of the collapse. In other words, the eofblocks trim will
happen anyways, we just run it first to ensure the file remains in a
consistent state throughout the collapse.
Finally, detect and fail explicitly in the event of a delalloc extent
during the extent shift. The implementation does not support delalloc
extents and the caller is expected to prevent this scenario in advance
as is done by collapse.

The collapse range implementation uses a transaction per extent shift.
The progress of the overall operation is tracked via the current extent
index of the in-core extent list. This is racy because the ilock must be
dropped and reacquired for each transaction according to locking and log
reservation rules. Therefore, writeback to prior regions of the file is
possible and can change the extent count. This changes the extent to
which the current index refers and causes the collapse to fail mid
operation. To avoid this problem, the entire file is currently written
back before the collapse operation starts.
To eliminate the need to flush the entire file, use the file offset
(fsb) to track the progress of the overall extent shift operation rather
than the extent index. Modify xfs_bmap_shift_extents() to
unconditionally convert the start_fsb parameter to an extent index and
return the file offset of the extent where the shift left off, if
further extents exist. The bulk of ths function can remain based on
extent index as ilock is held by the caller. xfs_collapse_file_space()
now uses the fsb output as the starting point for the subsequent shift.

xfs_collapse_file_space() currently writes back the entire file
undergoing collapse range to settle things down for the extent shift
algorithm. While this prevents changes to the extent list during the
collapse operation, the writeback itself is not enough to prevent
unnecessary collapse failures.
The current shift algorithm uses the extent index to iterate the in-core
extent list. If a post-eof delalloc extent persists after the writeback
(e.g., a prior zero range op where the end of the range aligns with eof
can separate the post-eof blocks such that they are not written back and
converted), xfs_bmap_shift_extents() becomes confused over the encoded
br_startblock value and fails the collapse.
As with the full writeback, this is a temporary fix until the algorithm
is improved to cope with a volatile extent list and avoid attempts to
shift post-eof extents.

If we have delalloc extents on a file before we run a collapse range
opertaion, we sync the range that we are going to collapse to
convert delalloc extents in that region to real extents to simplify
the shift operation.
However, the shift operation then assumes that the extent list is
not going to change as it iterates over the extent list moving
things about. Unfortunately, this isn't true because we can't hold
the ILOCK over all the operations. We can prevent new IO from
modifying the extent list by holding the IOLOCK, but that doesn't
prevent writeback from running....
And when writeback runs, it can convert delalloc extents is the
range of the file prior to the region being collapsed, and this
changes the indexes of all the extents in the file. That causes the
collapse range operation to Go Bad.
The right fix is to rewrite the extent shift operation not to be
dependent on the extent list not changing across the entire
operation, but this is a fairly significant piece of work to do.
Hence, as a short-term workaround for the problem, sync the entire
file before starting a collapse operation to remove all delalloc
ranges from the file and so avoid the problem of concurrent
writeback changing the extent list.

The allocation stack switch at xfs_bmapi_allocate() has served it's
purpose, but is no longer a sufficient solution to the stack usage
problem we have in the XFS allocation path.
Whilst the kernel stack size is now 16k, that is not a valid reason
for undoing all our "keep stack usage down" modifications. What it
does allow us to do is have the freedom to refine and perfect the
modifications knowing that if we get it wrong it won't blow up in
our faces - we have a safety net now.
This is important because we still have the issue of older kernels
having smaller stacks and that they are still supported and are
demonstrating a wide range of different stack overflows. Red Hat
has several open bugs for allocation based stack overflows from
directory modifications and direct IO block allocation and these
problems still need to be solved. If we can solve them upstream,
then distro's won't need to bake their own unique solutions.
To that end, I've observed that every allocation based stack
overflow report has had a specific characteristic - it has happened
during or directly after a bmap btree block split. That event
requires a new block to be allocated to the tree, and so we
effectively stack one allocation stack on top of another, and that's
when we get into trouble.
A further observation is that bmap btree block splits are much rarer
than writeback allocation - over a range of different workloads I've
observed the ratio of bmap btree inserts to splits ranges from 100:1
(xfstests run) to 10000:1 (local VM image server with sparse files
that range in the hundreds of thousands to millions of extents).
Either way, bmap btree split events are much, much rarer than
allocation events.
Finally, we have to move the kswapd state to the allocation workqueue
work when allocation is done on behalf of kswapd. This is proving to
cause significant perturbation in performance under memory pressure
and appears to be generating allocation deadlock warnings under some
workloads, so avoiding the use of a workqueue for the majority of
kswapd writeback allocation will minimise the impact of such
behaviour.
Hence it makes sense to move the stack switch to xfs_btree_split()
and only do it for bmap btree splits. Stack switches during
allocation will be much rarer, so there won't be significant
performacne overhead caused by switching stacks. The worse case
stack from all allocation paths will be split, not just writeback.
And the majority of memory allocations will be done in the correct
context (e.g. kswapd) without causing additional latency, and so we
simplify the memory reclaim interactions between processes,
workqueues and kswapd.
The worst stack I've been able to generate with this patch in place
is 5600 bytes deep. It's very revealing because we exit XFS at:
37) 1768 64 kmem_cache_alloc+0x13b/0x170
about 1800 bytes of stack consumed, and the remaining 3800 bytes
(and 36 functions) is memory reclaim, swap and the IO stack. And
this occurs in the inode allocation from an open(O_CREAT) syscall,
not writeback.
The amount of stack being used is much less than I've previously be
able to generate - fs_mark testing has been able to generate stack
usage of around 7k without too much trouble; with this patch it's
only just getting to 5.5k. This is primarily because the metadata
allocation paths (e.g. directory blocks) are no longer causing
double splits on the same stack, and hence now stack tracing is
showing swapping being the worst stack consumer rather than XFS.
Performance of fs_mark inode create workloads is unchanged.
Performance of fs_mark async fsync workloads is consistently good
with context switches reduced by around 150,000/s (30%).
Performance of dbench, streaming IO and postmark is unchanged.
Allocation deadlock warnings have not been seen on the workloads
that generated them since adding this patch.

Upon memory pressure, kswapd calls xfs_vm_writepage() from
shrink_page_list(). This can result in delayed allocation occurring
and that gets deferred to the the allocation workqueue.
The allocation then runs outside kswapd context, which means if it
needs memory (and it does to demand page metadata from disk) it can
block in shrink_inactive_list() waiting for IO congestion. These
blocking waits are normally avoiding in kswapd context, so under
memory pressure writeback from kswapd can be arbitrarily delayed by
memory reclaim.
To avoid this, pass the kswapd context to the allocation being done
by the workqueue, so that memory reclaim understands correctly that
the work is being done for kswapd and therefore it is not blocked
and does not delay memory reclaim.

the lock hold time for the case where it was previously taken internally
by a few instructions.

We have quite a few places now where we do:
x = kmem_zalloc(large size)
if (!x)
x = kmem_zalloc_large(large size)
and do a similar dance when freeing the memory. kmem_free() already
does the correct freeing dance, and kmem_zalloc_large() is only ever
called in these constructs, so just factor it all into
kmem_zalloc_large() and kmem_free().

This is the recovery side of the btree block owner change operation
performed by swapext on CRC enabled filesystems. We detect that an
owner change is needed by the flag that has been placed on the inode
log format flag field. Because the inode recovery is being replayed
after the buffers that make up the BMBT in the given checkpoint, we
can walk all the buffers and directly modify them when we see the
flag set on an inode.
Because the inode can be relogged and hence present in multiple
chekpoints with the "change owner" flag set, we could do multiple
passes across the inode to do this change. While this isn't optimal,
we can't directly ignore the flag as there may be multiple
independent swap extent operations being replayed on the same inode
in different checkpoints so we can't ignore them.
Further, because the owner change operation uses ordered buffers, we
might have buffers that are newer on disk than the current
checkpoint and so already have the owner changed in them. Hence we
cannot just peek at a buffer in the tree and check that it has the
correct owner and assume that the change was completed.
So, for the moment just brute force the owner change every time we
see an inode with the flag set. Note that we have to be careful here
because the owner of the buffers may point to either the old owner
or the new owner. Currently the verifier can't verify the owner
directly, so there is no failure case here right now. If we verify
the owner exactly in future, then we'll have to take this into
account.
This was tested in terms of normal operation via xfstests - all of
the fsr tests now pass without failure. however, we really need to
modify xfs/227 to stress v3 inodes correctly to ensure we fully
cover this case for v5 filesystems.
In terms of recovery testing, I used a hacked version of xfs_fsr
that held the temp inode open for a few seconds before exiting so
that the filesystem could be shut down with an open owner change
recovery flags set on at least the temp inode. fsr leaves the temp
inode unlinked and in btree format, so this was necessary for the
owner change to be reliably replayed.
logprint confirmed the tmp inode in the log had the correct flag set:
INO: cnt:3 total:3 a:0x69e9e0 len:56 a:0x69ea20 len:176 a:0x69eae0 len:88
INODE: #regs:3 ino:0x44 flags:0x209 dsize:88
^^^^^
0x200 is set, indicating a data fork owner change needed to be
replayed on inode 0x44. A printk in the revoery code confirmed that
the inode change was recovered:
XFS (vdc): Mounting Filesystem
XFS (vdc): Starting recovery (logdev: internal)
recovering owner change ino 0x44
XFS (vdc): Version 5 superblock detected. This kernel L support enabled!
Use of these features in this kernel is at your own risk!
XFS (vdc): Ending recovery (logdev: internal)
The script used to test this was:
$ cat ./recovery-fsr.sh
#!/bin/bash
dev=/dev/vdc
mntpt=/mnt/scratch
testfile=$mntpt/testfile
umount $mntpt
mkfs.xfs -f -m crc=1 $dev

chmod 777 $mntpt
for i in `seq 10000 -1 0`; do

For CRC enabled filesystems, we can't just swap inode forks from one
inode to another when defragmenting a file - the blocks in the inode
fork bmap btree contain pointers back to the owner inode. Hence if
we are to swap the inode forks we have to atomically modify every
block in the btree during the transaction.
We are doing an entire fork swap here, so we could create a new
transaction item type that indicates we are changing the owner of a
certain structure from one value to another. If we combine this with
ordered buffer logging to modify all the buffers in the tree, then
we can change the buffers in the tree without needing log space for
the operation. However, this then requires log recovery to perform
the modification of the owner information of the objects/structures
in question.
This does introduce some interesting ordering details into recovery:
we have to make sure that the owner change replay occurs after the
change that moves the objects is made, not before. Hence we can't
use a separate log item for this as we have no guarantee of strict
ordering between multiple items in the log due to the relogging
action of asynchronous transaction commits. Hence there is no
"generic" method we can use for changing the ownership of arbitrary
metadata structures.
For inode forks, however, there is a simple method of communicating
that the fork contents need the owner rewritten - we can pass a
inode log format flag for the fork for the transaction that does a
fork swap. This flag will then follow the inode fork through
relogging actions so when the swap actually gets replayed the
ownership can be changed immediately by log recovery. So that gives
us a simple method of "whole fork" exchange between two inodes.
This is relatively simple to implement, so it makes sense to do this
as an initial implementation to support xfs_fsr on CRC enabled
filesytems in the same manner as we do on existing filesystems. This
commit introduces the swapext driven functionality, the recovery
functionality will be in a separate patch.
