2014-11-25Btrfs: fix snapshot inconsistency after a file write followed by truncateFilipe Manana
If right after starting the snapshot creation ioctl we perform a write against a file followed by a truncate, with both operations increasing the file's size, we can get a snapshot tree that reflects a state of the source subvolume's tree where the file truncation happened but the write operation didn't. This leaves a gap between 2 file extent items of the inode, which makes btrfs' fsck complain about it. For example, if we perform the following file operations: $ mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/vdd $ mount /dev/vdd /mnt $ xfs_io -f \ -c "pwrite -S 0xaa -b 32K 0 32K" \ -c "fsync" \ -c "pwrite -S 0xbb -b 32770 16K 32770" \ -c "truncate 90123" \ /mnt/foobar and the snapshot creation ioctl was just called before the second write, we often can get the following inode items in the snapshot's btree: item 120 key (257 INODE_ITEM 0) itemoff 7987 itemsize 160 inode generation 146 transid 7 size 90123 block group 0 mode 100600 links 1 uid 0 gid 0 rdev 0 flags 0x0 item 121 key (257 INODE_REF 256) itemoff 7967 itemsize 20 inode ref index 282 namelen 10 name: foobar item 122 key (257 EXTENT_DATA 0) itemoff 7914 itemsize 53 extent data disk byte 1104855040 nr 32768 extent data offset 0 nr 32768 ram 32768 extent compression 0 item 123 key (257 EXTENT_DATA 53248) itemoff 7861 itemsize 53 extent data disk byte 0 nr 0 extent data offset 0 nr 40960 ram 40960 extent compression 0 There's a file range, corresponding to the interval [32K; ALIGN(16K + 32770, 4096)[ for which there's no file extent item covering it. This is because the file write and file truncate operations happened both right after the snapshot creation ioctl called btrfs_start_delalloc_inodes(), which means we didn't start and wait for the ordered extent that matches the write and, in btrfs_setsize(), we were able to call btrfs_cont_expand() before being able to commit the current transaction in the snapshot creation ioctl. So this made it possibe to insert the hole file extent item in the source subvolume (which represents the region added by the truncate) right before the transaction commit from the snapshot creation ioctl. Btrfs' fsck tool complains about such cases with a message like the following: "root 331 inode 257 errors 100, file extent discount" >From a user perspective, the expectation when a snapshot is created while those file operations are being performed is that the snapshot will have a file that either: 1) is empty 2) only the first write was captured 3) only the 2 writes were captured 4) both writes and the truncation were captured But never capture a state where only the first write and the truncation were captured (since the second write was performed before the truncation).

2014-11-20Btrfs: correctly flush compressed data before/after direct IOFilipe Manana
For compressed writes, after doing the first filemap_fdatawrite_range() we don't get the pages tagged for writeback immediately. Instead we create a workqueue task, which is run by other kthread, and keep the pages locked. That other kthread compresses data, creates the respective ordered extent/s, tags the pages for writeback and unlocks them. Therefore we need a second call to filemap_fdatawrite_range() if we have compressed writes, as this second call will wait for the pages to become unlocked, then see they became tagged for writeback and finally wait for the writeback to finish.

2014-09-19Btrfs: fix data corruption after fast fsync and writeback errorFilipe Manana
When we do a fast fsync, we start all ordered operations and then while they're running in parallel we visit the list of modified extent maps and construct their matching file extent items and write them to the log btree. After that, in btrfs_sync_log() we wait for all the ordered operations to finish (via btrfs_wait_logged_extents). The problem with this is that we were completely ignoring errors that can happen in the extent write path, such as -ENOSPC, a temporary -ENOMEM or -EIO errors for example. When such error happens, it means we have parts of the on disk extent that weren't written to, and so we end up logging file extent items that point to these extents that contain garbage/random data - so after a crash/reboot plus log replay, we get our inode's metadata pointing to those extents. This worked in contrast with the full (non-fast) fsync path, where we start all ordered operations, wait for them to finish and then write to the log btree. In this path, after each ordered operation completes we check if it's flagged with an error (BTRFS_ORDERED_IOERR) and return -EIO if so (via btrfs_wait_ordered_range). So if an error happens with any ordered operation, just return a -EIO error to userspace, so that it knows that not all of its previous writes were durably persisted and the application can take proper action (like redo the writes for e.g.) - and definitely not leave any file extent items in the log refer to non fully written extents.

2014-09-19Btrfs: fix fsync race leading to invalid data after log replayFilipe Manana
When the fsync callback (btrfs_sync_file) starts, it first waits for the writeback of any dirty pages to start and finish without holding the inode's mutex (to reduce contention). After this it acquires the inode's mutex and repeats that process via btrfs_wait_ordered_range only if we're doing a full sync (BTRFS_INODE_NEEDS_FULL_SYNC flag is set on the inode). This is not safe for a non full sync - we need to start and wait for writeback to finish for any pages that might have been made dirty before acquiring the inode's mutex and after that first step mentioned before. Why this is needed is explained by the following comment added to btrfs_sync_file: "Right before acquiring the inode's mutex, we might have new writes dirtying pages, which won't immediately start the respective ordered operations - that is done through the fill_delalloc callbacks invoked from the writepage and writepages address space operations. So make sure we start all ordered operations before starting to log our inode. Not doing this means that while logging the inode, writeback could start and invoke writepage/writepages, which would call the fill_delalloc callbacks (cow_file_range, submit_compressed_extents). These callbacks add first an extent map to the modified list of extents and then create the respective ordered operation, which means in tree-log.c:btrfs_log_inode() we might capture all existing ordered operations (with btrfs_get_logged_extents()) before the fill_delalloc callback adds its ordered operation, and by the time we visit the modified list of extent maps (with btrfs_log_changed_extents()), we see and process the extent map they created. We then use the extent map to construct a file extent item for logging without waiting for the respective ordered operation to finish - this file extent item points to a disk location that might not have yet been written to, containing random data - so after a crash a log replay will make our inode have file extent items that point to disk locations containing invalid data, as we returned success to userspace without waiting for the respective ordered operation to finish, because it wasn't captured by btrfs_get_logged_extents()."

2014-09-08Btrfs: fix fsync data loss after a ranged fsyncFilipe Manana
While we're doing a full fsync (when the inode has the flag BTRFS_INODE_NEEDS_FULL_SYNC set) that is ranged too (covers only a portion of the file), we might have ordered operations that are started before or while we're logging the inode and that fall outside the fsync range. Therefore when a full ranged fsync finishes don't remove every extent map from the list of modified extent maps - as for some of them, that fall outside our fsync range, their respective ordered operation hasn't finished yet, meaning the corresponding file extent item wasn't inserted into the fs/subvol tree yet and therefore we didn't log it, and we must let the next fast fsync (one that checks only the modified list) see this extent map and log a matching file extent item to the log btree and wait for its ordered operation to finish (if it's still ongoing).

2014-08-21btrfs: Use right extent length when inserting overlap extent map.Qu Wenruo
When current btrfs finds that a new extent map is going to be insereted but failed with -EEXIST, it will try again to insert the extent map but with the length of sectorsize. This is OK if we don't enable 'no-holes' feature since all extent space is continuous, we will not go into the not found->insert routine. But if we enable 'no-holes' feature, it will make things out of control. e.g. in 4K sectorsize, we pass the following args to btrfs_get_extent(): btrfs_get_extent() args: start: 27874 len 4100 28672 27874 28672 27874+4100 32768 |-----------------------| |---------hole--------------------|---------data----------| 1) not found and insert Since no extent map containing the range, btrfs_get_extent() will go into the not_found and insert routine, which will try to insert the extent map (27874, 27847 + 4100). 2) first overlap But it overlaps with (28672, 32768) extent, so -EEXIST will be returned by add_extent_mapping(). 3) retry but still overlap After catching the -EEXIST, then btrfs_get_extent() will try insert it again but with 4K length, which still overlaps, so -EEXIST will be returned. This makes the following patch fail to punch hole. d77815461f047e561f77a07754ae923ade597d4e btrfs: Avoid trucating page or punching hole in a already existed hole. This patch will use the right length, which is the (exsisting->start - em->start) to insert, making the above patch works in 'no-holes' mode. Also, some small code style problems in above patch is fixed too.

2014-08-19Btrfs: fill_holes: Fix slot number passed to hole_mergeable() call.chandan
For a non-existent key, btrfs_search_slot() sets path->slots[0] to the slot where the key could have been present, which in this case would be the slot containing the extent item which would be the next neighbor of the file range being punched. The current code passes an incremented path->slots[0] and we skip to the wrong file extent item.

2014-08-15btrfs: disable strict file flushes for renames and truncatesChris Mason
Truncates and renames are often used to replace old versions of a file with new versions. Applications often expect this to be an atomic replacement, even if they haven't done anything to make sure the new version is fully on disk. Btrfs has strict flushing in place to make sure that renaming over an old file with a new file will fully flush out the new file before allowing the transaction commit with the rename to complete. This ordering means the commit code needs to be able to lock file pages, and there are a few paths in the filesystem where we will try to end a transaction with the page lock held. It's rare, but these things can deadlock. This patch removes the ordered flushes and switches to a best effort filemap_flush like ext4 uses. It's not perfect, but it should fix the deadlocks.

2014-06-09Btrfs: rework qgroup accountingJosef Bacik
Currently qgroups account for space by intercepting delayed ref updates to fs trees. It does this by adding sequence numbers to delayed ref updates so that it can figure out how the tree looked before the update so we can adjust the counters properly. The problem with this is that it does not allow delayed refs to be merged, so if you say are defragging an extent with 5k snapshots pointing to it we will thrash the delayed ref lock because we need to go back and manually merge these things together. Instead we want to process quota changes when we know they are going to happen, like when we first allocate an extent, we free a reference for an extent, we add new references etc. This patch accomplishes this by only adding qgroup operations for real ref changes. We only modify the sequence number when we need to lookup roots for bytenrs, this reduces the amount of churn on the sequence number and allows us to merge delayed refs as we add them most of the time. This patch encompasses a bunch of architectural changes 1) qgroup ref operations: instead of tracking qgroup operations through the delayed refs we simply add new ref operations whenever we notice that we need to when we've modified the refs themselves. 2) tree mod seq: we no longer have this separation of major/minor counters. this makes the sequence number stuff much more sane and we can remove some locking that was needed to protect the counter. 3) delayed ref seq: we now read the tree mod seq number and use that as our sequence. This means each new delayed ref doesn't have it's own unique sequence number, rather whenever we go to lookup backrefs we inc the sequence number so we can make sure to keep any new operations from screwing up our world view at that given point. This allows us to merge delayed refs during runtime. With all of these changes the delayed ref stuff is a little saner and the qgroup accounting stuff no longer goes negative in some cases like it was before.

So this is caused by getting an -ENOSPC error while punching a file hole, more specifically, we get -ENOSPC error from __btrfs_drop_extents in the while loop of file.c:btrfs_punch_hole() when it's unable to modify the btree to delete one or more file extent items due to lack of enough free space. When this happens, in btrfs_punch_hole(), we attempt to reclaim free space by switching our transaction block reservation object to root->fs_info->trans_block_rsv, end our transaction and start a new transaction basically - and, we keep increasing our current offset (cur_offset) as long as it's smaller than the end of the target range (lockend) - this makes use leave the loop with cur_offset == drop_end which in turn makes us call fill_holes() for inserting a file extent item that represents a 0 bytes range hole (and this insertion succeeds, as in the meanwhile more space became available). This 0 bytes file hole extent item is a problem because any subsequent caller of __btrfs_drop_extents (regular file writes, or fallocate calls for e.g.), with a start file offset that is equal to the offset of the hole, will not remove this extent item due to the following conditional in the while loop of __btrfs_drop_extents: if (extent_end <= search_start) { path->slots[0]++; goto next_slot; } This later makes the call to setup_items_for_insert() (at the very end of __btrfs_drop_extents), insert a new file extent item with the same offset as the 0 bytes file hole extent item that follows it. Needless is to say that this causes chaos, either when reading the leaf from disk (btree_readpage_end_io_hook), where we perform leaf sanity checks or in subsequent operations that manipulate file extent items, as in the fallocate call as shown by the dmesg trace above. Without my other patch to perform the leaf sanity checks once a leaf is marked as dirty (if the integrity checker is enabled), it would have been much harder to debug this issue. This change might fix a few similar issues reported by users in the mailing list regarding assertion failures in btrfs_set_item_key_safe calls performed by __btrfs_drop_extents, such as the following report: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.btrfs/32938 Asking fill_holes() to create a 0 bytes wide file hole item also produced the first warning in the trace above, as we passed a range to btrfs_drop_extent_cache that has an end smaller (by -1) than its start. On 3.14 kernels this issue manifests itself through leaf corruption, as we get duplicated file extent item keys in a leaf when calling setup_items_for_insert(), but on older kernels, setup_items_for_insert() isn't called by __btrfs_drop_extents(), instead we have callers of __btrfs_drop_extents(), namely the functions inode.c:insert_inline_extent() and inode.c:insert_reserved_file_extent(), calling btrfs_insert_empty_item() to insert the new file extent item, which would fail with error -EEXIST, instead of inserting a duplicated key - which is still a serious issue as it would make all similar file extent item replace operations keep failing if they target the same file range.

2014-06-04mm: non-atomically mark page accessed during page cache allocation where ↵Mel Gorman
possible aops->write_begin may allocate a new page and make it visible only to have mark_page_accessed called almost immediately after. Once the page is visible the atomic operations are necessary which is noticable overhead when writing to an in-memory filesystem like tmpfs but should also be noticable with fast storage. The objective of the patch is to initialse the accessed information with non-atomic operations before the page is visible. The bulk of filesystems directly or indirectly use grab_cache_page_write_begin or find_or_create_page for the initial allocation of a page cache page. This patch adds an init_page_accessed() helper which behaves like the first call to mark_page_accessed() but may called before the page is visible and can be done non-atomically. The primary APIs of concern in this care are the following and are used by most filesystems. find_get_page find_lock_page find_or_create_page grab_cache_page_nowait grab_cache_page_write_begin All of them are very similar in detail to the patch creates a core helper pagecache_get_page() which takes a flags parameter that affects its behavior such as whether the page should be marked accessed or not. Then old API is preserved but is basically a thin wrapper around this core function. Each of the filesystems are then updated to avoid calling mark_page_accessed when it is known that the VM interfaces have already done the job. There is a slight snag in that the timing of the mark_page_accessed() has now changed so in rare cases it's possible a page gets to the end of the LRU as PageReferenced where as previously it might have been repromoted. This is expected to be rare but it's worth the filesystem people thinking about it in case they see a problem with the timing change. It is also the case that some filesystems may be marking pages accessed that previously did not but it makes sense that filesystems have consistent behaviour in this regard. The test case used to evaulate this is a simple dd of a large file done multiple times with the file deleted on each iterations. The size of the file is 1/10th physical memory to avoid dirty page balancing. In the async case it will be possible that the workload completes without even hitting the disk and will have variable results but highlight the impact of mark_page_accessed for async IO. The sync results are expected to be more stable. The exception is tmpfs where the normal case is for the "IO" to not hit the disk. The test machine was single socket and UMA to avoid any scheduling or NUMA artifacts. Throughput and wall times are presented for sync IO, only wall times are shown for async as the granularity reported by dd and the variability is unsuitable for comparison. As async results were variable do to writback timings, I'm only reporting the maximum figures. The sync results were stable enough to make the mean and stddev uninteresting.

For inline extents, we cannot duplicate another EXTENT_DATA item, because it breaks the rule of inline extents, that is, 'start offset' needs to be 0. We have set limitations for the source inode's compressed inline extents, because it needs to decompress and recompress. Now the destination inode's inline extents also need similar limitations.

So we must keep track of when those nocow write operations start and when they end, if there are nocow writers, the snapshot creators must wait. In order to implement this function, I introduce btrfs_{start, end}_nocow_write(), which is similar to mnt_{want,drop}_write(). These two functions are only used for nocow file write operations.

2014-03-10Btrfs: fix preallocate vs double nocow writeMiao Xie
We can not release the reserved metadata space for the first write if we find the write position is pre-allocated. Because the kernel might write the data on the disk before we do the second write but after the can-nocow check, if we release the space for the first write, we might fail to update the metadata because of no space. Fix this problem by end nocow write if there is dirty data in the range whose space is pre-allocated. Signed-off-by: Miao Xie <miaox@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik <jbacik@fb.com>
2014-03-10Btrfs: fix wrong lock range and write size in check_can_nocow()Miao Xie
The write range may not be sector-aligned, for example: |--------|--------| <- write range, sector-unaligned, size: 2blocks |--------|--------|--------| <- correct lock range, size: 3blocks But according to the old code, we used the size of write range to calculate the lock range directly, not considered the offset, we would get a wrong lock range: |--------|--------| <- write range, sector-unaligned, size: 2blocks |--------|--------| <- wrong lock range, size: 2blocks And besides that, the old code also had the same problem when calculating the real write size. Correct them. Signed-off-by: Miao Xie <miaox@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik <jbacik@fb.com>
2014-03-10Btrfs: more efficient btrfs_drop_extent_cacheFilipe Manana
While droping extent map structures from the extent cache that cover our target range, we would remove each extent map structure from the red black tree and then add either 1 or 2 new extent map structures if the former extent map covered sections outside our target range. This change simply attempts to replace the existing extent map structure with a new one that covers the subsection we're not interested in, instead of doing a red black remove operation followed by an insertion operation. The number of elements in an inode's extent map tree can get very high for large files under random writes. For example, while running the following test: sysbench --test=fileio --file-num=1 --file-total-size=10G \ --file-test-mode=rndrw --num-threads=32 --file-block-size=32768 \ --max-requests=500000 --file-rw-ratio=2 [prepare|run] I captured the following histogram capturing the number of extent_map items in the red black tree while that test was running: Count: 122462 Range: 1.000 - 172231.000; Mean: 96415.831; Median: 101855.000; Stddev: 49700.981 Percentiles: 90th: 160120.000; 95th: 166335.000; 99th: 171070.000 1.000 - 5.231: 452 | 5.231 - 187.392: 87 | 187.392 - 585.911: 206 | 585.911 - 1827.438: 623 | 1827.438 - 5695.245: 1962 # 5695.245 - 17744.861: 6204 #### 17744.861 - 55283.764: 21115 ############ 55283.764 - 172231.000: 91813 ##################################################### Benchmark: sysbench --test=fileio --file-num=1 --file-total-size=10G --file-test-mode=rndwr \ --num-threads=64 --file-block-size=32768 --max-requests=0 --max-time=60 \ --file-io-mode=sync --file-fsync-freq=0 [prepare|run] Before this change: 122.1Mb/sec After this change: 125.07Mb/sec (averages of 5 test runs) Test machine: quad core intel i5-3570K, 32Gb of ram, SSD Signed-off-by: Filipe David Borba Manana <fdmanana@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik <jbacik@fb.com>
