Dave Jones hit this assert when doing a compile on recent git, with
CONFIG_XFS_DEBUG enabled:
XFS: Assertion failed: (char *)dup - (char *)hdr == be16_to_cpu(*xfs_dir2_data_unused_tag_p(dup)), file: fs/xfs/xfs_dir2_data.c, line: 828
Upon further digging, the tag found by xfs_dir2_data_unused_tag_p(dup)
contained "2" and not the proper offset, and I found that this value was
changed after the memmoves under "Use a stale leaf for our new entry."
in xfs_dir2_block_addname(), i.e.
memmove(&blp[mid + 1], &blp[mid],
(highstale - mid) * sizeof(*blp));
overwrote it.
What has happened is that the previous call to xfs_dir2_block_compact()
has rearranged things; it changes btp->count as well as the
blp array. So after we make that call, we must recalculate the
proper pointer to the leaf entries by making another call to
xfs_dir2_block_leaf_p().
Dave provided a metadump image which led to a simple reproducer
(create a particular filename in the affected directory) and this
resolves the testcase as well as the bug on his live system.
Thanks also to dchinner for looking at this one with me.

The direct IO path can do a nested transaction reservation when
writing past the EOF. The first transaction is the append
transaction for setting the filesize at IO completion, but we can
also need a transaction for allocation of blocks. If the log is low
on space due to reservations and small log, the append transaction
can be granted after wating for space as the only active transaction
in the system. This then attempts a reservation for an allocation,
which there isn't space in the log for, and the reservation sleeps.
The result is that there is nothing left in the system to wake up
all the processes waiting for log space to come free.
The stack trace that shows this deadlock is relatively innocuous:
xlog_grant_head_wait
xlog_grant_head_check
xfs_log_reserve
xfs_trans_reserve
xfs_iomap_write_direct
__xfs_get_blocks
xfs_get_blocks_direct
do_blockdev_direct_IO
__blockdev_direct_IO
xfs_vm_direct_IO
generic_file_direct_write
xfs_file_dio_aio_writ
xfs_file_aio_write
do_sync_write
vfs_write
This was discovered on a filesystem with a log of only 10MB, and a
log stripe unit of 256k whih increased the base reservations by
512k. Hence a allocation transaction requires 1.2MB of log space to
be available instead of only 260k, and so greatly increased the
chance that there wouldn't be enough log space available for the
nested transaction to succeed. The key to reproducing it is this
mkfs command:
mkfs.xfs -f -d agcount=16,su=256k,sw=12 -l su=256k,size=2560b $SCRATCH_DEV
The test case was a 1000 fsstress processes running with random

Implement CRCs for the log buffers. We re-use a field in
struct xlog_rec_header that was used for a weak checksum of the
log buffer payload in debug builds before.
The new checksumming uses the crc32c checksum we will use elsewhere
in XFS, and also protects the record header and addition cycle data.
Due to this there are some interesting changes in xlog_sync, as we
need to do the cycle wrapping for the split buffer case much earlier,
as we would touch the buffer after generating the checksum otherwise.
The CRC calculation is always enabled, even for non-CRC filesystems,
as adding this CRC does not change the log format. On non-CRC
filesystems, only issue an alert if a CRC mismatch is found and
allow recovery to continue - this will act as an indicator that
log recovery problems are a result of log corruption. On CRC enabled
filesystems, however, log recovery will fail.
Note that existing debug kernels will write a simple checksum value
to the log, so the first time this is run on a filesystem taht was
last used on a debug kernel it will through CRC mismatch warning
errors. These can be ignored.

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.

When writing the new AG headers to disk, we can't attach write

being attached to the buffer to be fully initialised and growfs
can't fully initialise them until later in the process.
The simplest way to avoid this problem is to use uncached buffers
for writing the new headers. These buffers don't have the xfs-perag
attached to them, so it's simple to detect in the write verifier and
be able to skip the checks that need the xfs-perag.
This enables us to attach the appropriate buffer ops to the buffer
and hence calculate CRCs on the way to disk. IT also means that the
buffer is torn down immediately, and so the first access to the AG
headers will re-read the header from disk and perform full
verification of the buffer. This way we also can catch corruptions
due to problems that went undetected in growfs.

Error handling in xfs_buf_ioapply_map() does not handle IO reference
counts correctly. We increment the b_io_remaining count before
building the bio, but then fail to decrement it in the failure case.
This leads to the buffer never running IO completion and releasing
the reference that the IO holds, so at unmount we can leak the
buffer. This leak is captured by this assert failure during unmount:
XFS: Assertion failed: atomic_read(&pag->pag_ref) == 0, file: fs/xfs/xfs_mount.c, line: 273
This is not a new bug - the b_io_remaining accounting has had this
problem for a long, long time - it's just very hard to get a
zero length bio being built by this code...
Further, the buffer IO error can be overwritten on a multi-segment
buffer by subsequent bio completions for partial sections of the
buffer. Hence we should only set the buffer error status if the
buffer is not already carrying an error status. This ensures that a
partial IO error on a multi-segment buffer will not be lost. This
part of the problem is a regression, however.

When we shut down the filesystem, it might first be detected in
writeback when we are allocating a inode size transaction. This
happens after we have moved all the pages into the writeback state
and unlocked them. Unfortunately, if we fail to set up the
transaction we then abort writeback and try to invalidate the
current page. This then triggers are BUG() in block_invalidatepage()
because we are trying to invalidate an unlocked page.
Fixing this is a bit of a chicken and egg problem - we can't
allocate the transaction until we've clustered all the pages into
the IO and we know the size of it (i.e. whether the last block of
the IO is beyond the current EOF or not). However, we don't want to
hold pages locked for long periods of time, especially while we lock
other pages to cluster them into the write.
To fix this, we need to make a clear delineation in writeback where
errors can only be handled by IO completion processing. That is,
once we have marked a page for writeback and unlocked it, we have to
report errors via IO completion because we've already started the
IO. We may not have submitted any IO, but we've changed the page
state to indicate that it is under IO so we must now use the IO
completion path to report errors.
To do this, add an error field to xfs_submit_ioend() to pass it the
error that occurred during the building on the ioend chain. When
this is non-zero, mark each ioend with the error and call
xfs_finish_ioend() directly rather than building bios. This will
immediately push the ioends through completion processing with the
error that has occurred.

In certain circumstances, a double split of an attribute tree is
needed to insert or replace an attribute. In rare situations, this
can go wrong, leaving the attribute tree corrupted. In this case,
the attr being replaced is the last attr in a leaf node, and the
replacement is larger so doesn't fit in the same leaf node.
When we have the initial condition of a node format attribute
btree with two leaves at index 1 and 2. Call them L1 and L2. The
leaf L1 is completely full, there is not a single byte of free space
in it. L2 is mostly empty. The attribute being replaced - call it X
- is the last attribute in L1.
The way an attribute replace is executed is that the replacement
attribute - call it Y - is first inserted into the tree, but has an
INCOMPLETE flag set on it so that list traversals ignore it. Once
this transaction is committed, a second transaction it run to
atomically mark Y as COMPLETE and X as INCOMPLETE, so that a
traversal will now find Y and skip X. Once that transaction is
committed, attribute X is then removed.
So, the initial condition is:
+--------+ +--------+
| L1 | | L2 |
| fwd: 2 |---->| fwd: 0 |
| bwd: 0 |<----| bwd: 1 |
| fsp: 0 | | fsp: N |
|--------| |--------|
| attr A | | attr 1 |
|--------| |--------|
| attr B | | attr 2 |
|--------| |--------|
.......... ..........
|--------| |--------|
| attr X | | attr n |
+--------+ +--------+
So now we go to replace X, and see that L1:fsp = 0 - it is full so
we can't insert Y in the same leaf. So we record the the location of
attribute X so we can track it for later use, then we split L1 into
L1 and L3 and reblance across the two leafs. We end with:
+--------+ +--------+ +--------+
| L1 | | L3 | | L2 |
| fwd: 3 |---->| fwd: 2 |---->| fwd: 0 |
| bwd: 0 |<----| bwd: 1 |<----| bwd: 3 |
| fsp: M | | fsp: J | | fsp: N |
|--------| |--------| |--------|
| attr A | | attr X | | attr 1 |
|--------| +--------+ |--------|
| attr B | | attr 2 |
|--------| |--------|
.......... ..........
|--------| |--------|
| attr W | | attr n |
+--------+ +--------+
And we track that the original attribute is now at L3:0.
We then try to insert Y into L1 again, and find that there isn't
enough room because the new attribute is larger than the old one.
Hence we have to split again to make room for Y. We end up with
this:
+--------+ +--------+ +--------+ +--------+
| L1 | | L4 | | L3 | | L2 |
| fwd: 4 |---->| fwd: 3 |---->| fwd: 2 |---->| fwd: 0 |
| bwd: 0 |<----| bwd: 1 |<----| bwd: 4 |<----| bwd: 3 |
| fsp: M | | fsp: J | | fsp: J | | fsp: N |
|--------| |--------| |--------| |--------|
| attr A | | attr Y | | attr X | | attr 1 |
|--------| + INCOMP + +--------+ |--------|
| attr B | +--------+ | attr 2 |
|--------| |--------|
.......... ..........
|--------| |--------|
| attr W | | attr n |
+--------+ +--------+
And now we have the new (incomplete) attribute @ L4:0, and the
original attribute at L3:0. At this point, the first transaction is
committed, and we move to the flipping of the flags.
This is where we are supposed to end up with this:
+--------+ +--------+ +--------+ +--------+
| L1 | | L4 | | L3 | | L2 |
| fwd: 4 |---->| fwd: 3 |---->| fwd: 2 |---->| fwd: 0 |
| bwd: 0 |<----| bwd: 1 |<----| bwd: 4 |<----| bwd: 3 |
| fsp: M | | fsp: J | | fsp: J | | fsp: N |
|--------| |--------| |--------| |--------|
| attr A | | attr Y | | attr X | | attr 1 |
|--------| +--------+ + INCOMP + |--------|
| attr B | +--------+ | attr 2 |
|--------| |--------|
.......... ..........
|--------| |--------|
| attr W | | attr n |
+--------+ +--------+
But that doesn't happen properly - the attribute tracking indexes
are not pointing to the right locations. What we end up with is both
the old attribute to be removed pointing at L4:0 and the new
attribute at L4:1. On a debug kernel, this assert fails like so:
XFS: Assertion failed: args->index2 < be16_to_cpu(leaf2->hdr.count), file: fs/xfs/xfs_attr_leaf.c, line: 2725
because the new attribute location does not exist. On a production
kernel, this goes unnoticed and the code proceeds ahead merrily and
removes L4 because it thinks that is the block that is no longer
needed. This leaves the hash index node pointing to entries
L1, L4 and L2, but only blocks L1, L3 and L2 to exist. Further, the
leaf level sibling list is L1 <-> L4 <-> L2, but L4 is now free
space, and so everything is busted. This corruption is caused by the
removal of the old attribute triggering a join - it joins everything
correctly but then frees the wrong block.
xfs_repair will report something like:
bad sibling back pointer for block 4 in attribute fork for inode 131
problem with attribute contents in inode 131
would clear attr fork
bad nblocks 8 for inode 131, would reset to 3
bad anextents 4 for inode 131, would reset to 0
The problem lies in the assignment of the old/new blocks for
tracking purposes when the double leaf split occurs. The first split
tries to place the new attribute inside the current leaf (i.e.
"inleaf == true") and moves the old attribute (X) to the new block.
This sets up the old block/index to L1:X, and newly allocated
block to L3:0. It then moves attr X to the new block and tries to
insert attr Y at the old index. That fails, so it splits again.
With the second split, the rebalance ends up placing the new attr in
the second new block - L4:0 - and this is where the code goes wrong.
What is does is it sets both the new and old block index to the
second new block. Hence it inserts attr Y at the right place (L4:0)
but overwrites the current location of the attr to replace that is
held in the new block index (currently L3:0). It over writes it with
L4:1 - the index we later assert fail on.
Hopefully this table will show this in a foramt that is a bit easier
to understand:
Split old attr index new attr index
vanilla patched vanilla patched
before 1st L1:26 L1:26 N/A N/A
after 1st L3:0 L3:0 L1:26 L1:26
after 2nd L4:0 L3:0 L4:1 L4:0
^^^^ ^^^^
wrong wrong
The fix is surprisingly simple, for all this analysis - just stop
the rebalance on the out-of leaf case from overwriting the new attr
index - it's already correct for the double split case.

Create a new mount workqueue and delayed_work to enable background
scanning and freeing of eofblocks inodes. The scanner kicks in once
speculative preallocation occurs and stops requeueing itself when
no eofblocks inodes exist.
The scan interval is based on the new
'speculative_prealloc_lifetime' tunable (default to 5m). The
background scanner performs unfiltered, best effort scans (which
skips inodes under lock contention or with a dirty cache mapping).
