Before this patch, when blocks were freed, it called gfs2_meta_wipe to
take the metadata out of the pending journal blocks. It did this mostly
by calling another function called gfs2_remove_from_journal. This is
shortsighted because it does not do anything with jdata blocks which
may also be in the journal.
This patch expands the function so that it wipes out jdata blocks from
the journal as well, and it wipes it from the ail1 list if it hasn't
been written back yet. Since it now processes jdata blocks as well,
the function has been renamed from gfs2_meta_wipe to gfs2_journal_wipe.
New function gfs2_ail1_wipe wants a static view of the ail list, so it
locks the sd_ail_lock when removing items. To accomplish this, function
gfs2_remove_from_journal no longer locks the sd_ail_lock, and it's now
the caller's responsibility to do so.
I was going to make sd_ail_lock locking conditional, but the practice is
generally frowned upon. For details, see: https://lwn.net/Articles/109066/

Commit ca399c96e9 changes gfs2_log_flush to not withdraw the

When a log flush fails due to io errors, it signals the failure but does
not clean up after itself very well. This is because buffers are added to
the transaction tr_buf and tr_databuf queue, but the io error causes
gfs2_log_flush to bypass the "after_commit" functions responsible for
dequeueing the bd elements. If the bd elements are added to the ail list
before the error, function ail_drain takes care of dequeueing them.
But if they haven't gotten that far, the elements are forgotten and
make the transactions unable to be freed.
This patch introduces new function trans_drain which drains the bd
elements from the transaction so they can be freed properly.

In several places, we used the GIF_ORDERED inode flag to determine

Log flush operations (gfs2_log_flush()) can target a specific transaction.
But if the function encounters errors (e.g. io errors) and withdraws,
the transaction was only freed it if was queued to one of the ail lists.
If the withdraw occurred before the transaction was queued to the ail1
list, function ail_drain never freed it. The result was:
BUG gfs2_trans: Objects remaining in gfs2_trans on __kmem_cache_shutdown()

Before this patch, transactions could be merged into the system
transaction by function gfs2_merge_trans(), but the transaction ail
lists were never merged. Because the ail flushing mechanism can run
separately, bd elements can be attached to the transaction's buffer
list during the transaction (trans_add_meta, etc) but quickly moved
to its ail lists. Later, in function gfs2_trans_end, the transaction
can be freed (by gfs2_trans_end) while it still has bd elements
queued to its ail lists, which can cause it to either lose track of
the bd elements altogether (memory leak) or worse, reference the bd
elements after the parent transaction has been freed.
Although I've not seen any serious consequences, the problem becomes
apparent with the previous patch's addition of:
gfs2_assert_warn(sdp, list_empty(&tr->tr_ail1_list));
to function gfs2_trans_free().
This patch adds logic into gfs2_merge_trans() to move the merged
transaction's ail lists to the sdp transaction. This prevents the
use-after-free. To do this properly, we need to hold the ail lock,
so we pass sdp into the function instead of the transaction itself.

free the slab objects, and it exposes use-after-free by giving

attached to its buffers or ail lists. We make sure to initialize
those transaction ail lists so we can check their integrity when freeing.

Ordinarily, function gfs2_ail1_start_one issues a write request
for one item on the ail1 list, then returns -EBUSY. This makes the
caller, gfs2_ail1_flush, loop around and start another. However,
it was not clearing the -EBUSY return code each time through the loop.
So on rare occasions, like when the wbc runs out of nr_to_write, it
remained set to -EBUSY, which triggered an error and withdraw.
This patch sets the return code to 0 each time through the restart
loop so this won't happen anymore.

Before this patch, if gfs2_ail_empty_gl saw there was nothing on

is that there could still be a revoke for the rgrp sitting on the
sd_log_le_revoke list that's been recently taken off the ail list.
But that revoke still needs to be written, and the rgrp_go_inval
still needs to call log_flush_wait to ensure the revokes are all
properly written to the journal before we relinquish control of
the glock to another node. If we give the glock to another node
before we have this knowledge, the node might crash and its journal
replayed, in which case the missing revoke would allow the journal
replay to replay the rgrp over top of the rgrp we already gave to
another node, thus overwriting its changes and corrupting the
file system.

Before this patch, function gfs2_write_revokes would call
gfs2_ail1_empty, then traverse the sd_ail1_list looking for
transactions that had bds which were no longer queued to a glock.
And if it found some, it would try to issue revokes for them, up to
a predetermined maximum. There were two problems with how it did
this. First was the fact that gfs2_ail1_empty moves transactions
which have nothing remaining on the ail1 list from the sd_ail1_list
to the sd_ail2_list, thus making its traversal of sd_ail1_list
miss them completely, and therefore, never issue revokes for them.
Second was the fact that there were three traversals (or partial
traversals) of the sd_ail1_list, each of which took and then
released the sd_ail_lock lock: First inside gfs2_ail1_empty,
second to determine if there are any revokes to be issued, and
third to actually issue them. All this taking and releasing of the
sd_ail_lock meant other processes could modify the lists and the
conditions in which we're working.
This patch simplies the whole process by adding a new parameter
to function gfs2_ail1_empty, max_revokes. For normal calls, this
is passed in as 0, meaning we don't want to issue any revokes.
For function gfs2_write_revokes, we pass in the maximum number
of revokes we can, thus allowing gfs2_ail1_empty to add the
revokes where needed. This simplies the code, allows for a single
holding of the sd_ail_lock, and allows gfs2_ail1_empty to add
revokes for all the necessary bd items without missing any.

This patch consolidates the two into sd_log_error so that it

In future patches, we will take advantage of this by checking
this value rather than having to check both when reacting to
io errors.
In addition, this fixes a tight loop in unmount: If buffers
get on the ail1 list and an io error occurs elsewhere, the

File system withdraws can be delayed when inconsistencies are
discovered when we cannot withdraw immediately, for example, when
critical spin_locks are held. But delaying the withdraw can cause
gfs2 to ignore the error and keep running for a short period of time.
For example, an rgrp glock may be dequeued and demoted while there
are still buffers that haven't been properly revoked, due to io
errors writing to the journal.
This patch introduces a new concept of a pending withdraw, which
means an inconsistency has been discovered and we need to withdraw
at the earliest possible opportunity. In these cases, we aren't
quite withdrawn yet, but we still need to not dequeue glocks and
other critical things. If we dequeue the glocks and the withdraw
results in our journal being replayed, the replay could overwrite
data that's been modified by a different node that acquired the
glock in the meantime.

This reverts commit e955537e32.
Before patch e955537e32, tr_num_revoke tracked the number of revokes
added to the transaction, and tr_num_revoke_rm tracked how many
revokes were removed. But since revokes are queued off the sdp
(superblock) pointer, some transactions could remove more revokes
than they added. (e.g. revokes added by a different process).
Commit e955537e32 eliminated transaction variable tr_num_revoke_rm,
but in order to do so, it changed the accounting to always use
tr_num_revoke for its math. Since you can remove more revokes than
you add, tr_num_revoke could now become a negative value.
This negative value broke the assert in function gfs2_trans_end:
if (gfs2_assert_withdraw(sdp, (nbuf <=3D tr->tr_blocks) &&
(tr->tr_num_revoke <=3D tr->tr_revokes)))
One way to fix this is to simply remove the tr_num_revoke clause
from the assert and allow the value to become negative. Andreas
didn't like that idea, so instead, we decided to revert e955537e32.

For its journal processing, gfs2 kept track of the number of buffers
added and removed on a per-transaction basis. These values are used
to calculate space needed in the journal. But while these calculations
make sense for the number of buffers, they make no sense for revokes.
Revokes are managed in their own list, linked from the superblock.
So it's entirely unnecessary to keep separate per-transaction counts
for revokes added and removed. A single count will do the same job.
Therefore, this patch combines the transaction revokes into a single
count.

This patch has to do with the life cycle of glocks and buffers. When
gfs2 metadata or journaled data is queued to be written, a gfs2_bufdata
object is assigned to track the buffer, and that is queued to various
lists, including the glock's gl_ail_list to indicate it's on the active
items list. Once the page associated with the buffer has been written,
it is removed from the ail list, but its life isn't over until a revoke
has been successfully written.
So after the block is written, its bufdata object is moved from the
glock's gl_ail_list to a file-system-wide list of pending revokes,
sd_log_le_revoke. At that point the glock still needs to track how many
revokes it contributed to that list (in gl_revokes) so that things like
glock go_sync can ensure all the metadata has been not only written, but
also revoked before the glock is granted to a different node. This is
to guarantee journal replay doesn't replay the block once the glock has
been granted to another node.
Ross Lagerwall recently discovered a race in which an inode could be
evicted, and its glock freed after its ail list had been synced, but
while it still had unwritten revokes on the sd_log_le_revoke list. The
evict decremented the glock reference count to zero, which allowed the
glock to be freed. After the revoke was written, function
revoke_lo_after_commit tried to adjust the glock's gl_revokes counter
and clear its GLF_LFLUSH flag, at which time it referenced the freed
glock.
This patch fixes the problem by incrementing the glock reference count
in gfs2_add_revoke when the glock's first bufdata object is moved from
the glock to the global revokes list. Later, when the glock's last such
bufdata object is freed, the reference count is decremented. This
guarantees that whichever process finishes last (the revoke writing or
the evict) will properly free the glock, and neither will reference the
glock after it has been freed.

This patch fixes regressions in 588bff95c9.
Due to that patch, function clean_journal was setting the value of
sd_log_flush_head, but that's only valid if it is replaying the node's
own journal. If it's replaying another node's journal, that's completely
wrong and will lead to multiple problems. This patch tries to clean up
the mess by passing the value of the logical journal block number into
gfs2_write_log_header so the function can treat non-owned journals
generically. For the local journal, the journal extent map is used for
best performance. For other nodes from other journals, new function
gfs2_lblk_to_dblk is called to figure it out using gfs2_iomap_get.
This patch also tries to establish more consistency when passing journal
block parameters by changing several unsigned int types to a consistent
u32.

All the other functions that deal with the sd_ail_list run the list
from the tail back to the head, iow, in reverse. We should do the
same while writing revokes, otherwise we might miss removing entries
properly from the list when we hit the limit of how many revokes we
can write at one time (based on block size, which determines how
many block pointers will fit in the revoke block).

When an io error is hit, it calls gfs2_io_error_bh_i for every
journal buffer it can't write. Since we changed gfs2_io_error_bh_i
recently to withdraw later in the cycle, it sends a flood of
errors to the console. This patch checks for the file system already
being withdrawn, and if so, doesn't send more messages. It doesn't
stop the flood of messages, but it slows it down and keeps it more
reasonable.
