commit 626e9f41f7c281ba3e02843702f68471706aa6d9 upstream.
When doing a fast fsync on a file, there is a race which can result in the
fsync returning success to user space without logging the inode and without
durably persisting new data.
The following example shows one possible scenario for this:
$ mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdc
$ mount /dev/sdc /mnt
$ touch /mnt/bar
$ xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -S 0xab 0 1M" -c "fsync" /mnt/baz
# Now we have:
# file bar == inode 257
# file baz == inode 258
$ mv /mnt/baz /mnt/foo
# Now we have:
# file bar == inode 257
# file foo == inode 258
$ xfs_io -c "pwrite -S 0xcd 0 1M" /mnt/foo
# fsync bar before foo, it is important to trigger the race.
$ xfs_io -c "fsync" /mnt/bar
$ xfs_io -c "fsync" /mnt/foo
# After this:
# inode 257, file bar, is empty
# inode 258, file foo, has 1M filled with 0xcd
<power failure>
# Replay the log:
$ mount /dev/sdc /mnt
# After this point file foo should have 1M filled with 0xcd and not 0xab
The following steps explain how the race happens:
1) Before the first fsync of inode 258, when it has the "baz" name, its
->logged_trans is 0, ->last_sub_trans is 0 and ->last_log_commit is -1.
The inode also has the full sync flag set;
2) After the first fsync, we set inode 258 ->logged_trans to 6, which is
the generation of the current transaction, and set ->last_log_commit
to 0, which is the current value of ->last_sub_trans (done at
btrfs_log_inode()).
The full sync flag is cleared from the inode during the fsync.
The log sub transaction that was committed had an ID of 0 and when we
synced the log, at btrfs_sync_log(), we incremented root->log_transid
from 0 to 1;
3) During the rename:
We update inode 258, through btrfs_update_inode(), and that causes its
->last_sub_trans to be set to 1 (the current log transaction ID), and
->last_log_commit remains with a value of 0.
After updating inode 258, because we have previously logged the inode
in the previous fsync, we log again the inode through the call to
btrfs_log_new_name(). This results in updating the inode's
->last_log_commit from 0 to 1 (the current value of its
->last_sub_trans).
The ->last_sub_trans of inode 257 is updated to 1, which is the ID of
the next log transaction;
4) Then a buffered write against inode 258 is made. This leaves the value
of ->last_sub_trans as 1 (the ID of the current log transaction, stored
at root->log_transid);
5) Then an fsync against inode 257 (or any other inode other than 258),
happens. This results in committing the log transaction with ID 1,
which results in updating root->last_log_commit to 1 and bumping
root->log_transid from 1 to 2;
6) Then an fsync against inode 258 starts. We flush delalloc and wait only
for writeback to complete, since the full sync flag is not set in the
inode's runtime flags - we do not wait for ordered extents to complete.
Then, at btrfs_sync_file(), we call btrfs_inode_in_log() before the
ordered extent completes. The call returns true:
static inline bool btrfs_inode_in_log(...)
{
bool ret = false;
spin_lock(&inode->lock);
if (inode->logged_trans == generation &&
inode->last_sub_trans <= inode->last_log_commit &&
inode->last_sub_trans <= inode->root->last_log_commit)
ret = true;
spin_unlock(&inode->lock);
return ret;
}
generation has a value of 6 (fs_info->generation), ->logged_trans also
has a value of 6 (set when we logged the inode during the first fsync
and when logging it during the rename), ->last_sub_trans has a value
of 1, set during the rename (step 3), ->last_log_commit also has a
value of 1 (set in step 3) and root->last_log_commit has a value of 1,
which was set in step 5 when fsyncing inode 257.
As a consequence we don't log the inode, any new extents and do not
sync the log, resulting in a data loss if a power failure happens
after the fsync and before the current transaction commits.
Also, because we do not log the inode, after a power failure the mtime
and ctime of the inode do not match those we had before.
When the ordered extent completes before we call btrfs_inode_in_log(),
then the call returns false and we log the inode and sync the log,
since at the end of ordered extent completion we update the inode and
set ->last_sub_trans to 2 (the value of root->log_transid) and
->last_log_commit to 1.
This problem is found after removing the check for the emptiness of the
inode's list of modified extents in the recent commit 209ecbb8585bf6
("btrfs: remove stale comment and logic from btrfs_inode_in_log()"),
added in the 5.13 merge window. However checking the emptiness of the
list is not really the way to solve this problem, and was never intended
to, because while that solves the problem for COW writes, the problem
persists for NOCOW writes because in that case the list is always empty.
In the case of NOCOW writes, even though we wait for the writeback to
complete before returning from btrfs_sync_file(), we end up not logging
the inode, which has a new mtime/ctime, and because we don't sync the log,
we never issue disk barriers (send REQ_PREFLUSH to the device) since that
only happens when we sync the log (when we write super blocks at
btrfs_sync_log()). So effectively, for a NOCOW case, when we return from
btrfs_sync_file() to user space, we are not guaranteeing that the data is
durably persisted on disk.
Also, while the example above uses a rename exchange to show how the
problem happens, it is not the only way to trigger it. An alternative
could be adding a new hard link to inode 258, since that also results
in calling btrfs_log_new_name() and updating the inode in the log.
An example reproducer using the addition of a hard link instead of a
rename operation:
$ mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdc
$ mount /dev/sdc /mnt
$ touch /mnt/bar
$ xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -S 0xab 0 1M" -c "fsync" /mnt/foo
$ ln /mnt/foo /mnt/foo_link
$ xfs_io -c "pwrite -S 0xcd 0 1M" /mnt/foo
$ xfs_io -c "fsync" /mnt/bar
$ xfs_io -c "fsync" /mnt/foo
<power failure>
# Replay the log:
$ mount /dev/sdc /mnt
# After this point file foo often has 1M filled with 0xab and not 0xcd
The reasons leading to the final fsync of file foo, inode 258, not
persisting the new data are the same as for the previous example with
a rename operation.
So fix by never skipping logging and log syncing when there are still any
ordered extents in flight. To avoid making the conditional if statement
that checks if logging an inode is needed harder to read, place all the
logic into an helper function with separate if statements to make it more
manageable and easier to read.
A test case for fstests will follow soon.
For NOCOW writes, the problem existed before commit b5e6c3e170b770
("btrfs: always wait on ordered extents at fsync time"), introduced in
kernel 4.19, then it went away with that commit since we started to always
wait for ordered extent completion before logging.
The problem came back again once the fast fsync path was changed again to
avoid waiting for ordered extent completion, in commit 487781796d3022
("btrfs: make fast fsyncs wait only for writeback"), added in kernel 5.10.
However, for COW writes, the race only happens after the recent
commit 209ecbb8585bf6 ("btrfs: remove stale comment and logic from
btrfs_inode_in_log()"), introduced in the 5.13 merge window. For NOCOW
writes, the bug existed before that commit. So tag 5.10+ as the release
for stable backports.

[ Upstream commit f2f121ab500d0457cc9c6f54269d21ffdf5bd304 ]
Every time we log an inode we lookup in the fs/subvol tree for xattrs and
if we have any, log them into the log tree. However it is very common to
have inodes without any xattrs, so doing the search wastes times, but more
importantly it adds contention on the fs/subvol tree locks, either making
the logging code block and wait for tree locks or making the logging code
making other concurrent operations block and wait.
The most typical use cases where xattrs are used are when capabilities or
ACLs are defined for an inode, or when SELinux is enabled.
This change makes the logging code detect when an inode does not have
xattrs and skip the xattrs search the next time the inode is logged,
unless the inode is evicted and loaded again or a xattr is added to the
inode. Therefore skipping the search for xattrs on inodes that don't ever
have xattrs and are fsynced with some frequency.
The following script that calls dbench was used to measure the impact of
this change on a VM with 8 CPUs, 16Gb of ram, using a raw NVMe device
directly (no intermediary filesystem on the host) and using a non-debug
kernel (default configuration on Debian distributions):
$ cat test.sh
#!/bin/bash
DEV=/dev/sdk
MNT=/mnt/sdk
MOUNT_OPTIONS="-o ssd"
mkfs.btrfs -f -m single -d single $DEV
mount $MOUNT_OPTIONS $DEV $MNT

Logging directories with many entries can take a significant amount of
time, and in some cases monopolize a cpu/core for a long time if the
logging task doesn't happen to block often enough.
Johannes and Lu Fengqi reported test case generic/041 triggering a soft
lockup when the kernel has CONFIG_SOFTLOCKUP_DETECTOR=y. For this test
case we log an inode with 3002 hard links, and because the test removed
one hard link before fsyncing the file, the inode logging causes the
parent directory do be logged as well, which has 6004 directory items to
log (3002 BTRFS_DIR_ITEM_KEY items plus 3002 BTRFS_DIR_INDEX_KEY items),
so it can take a significant amount of time and trigger the soft lockup.
So just make tree-log.c:log_dir_items() reschedule when necessary,
releasing the current search path before doing so and then resume from
where it was before the reschedule.
The stack trace produced when the soft lockup happens is the following:

Currently regardless of a full or a fast fsync we always wait for ordered
extents to complete, and then start logging the inode after that. However
for fast fsyncs we can just wait for the writeback to complete, we don't
need to wait for the ordered extents to complete since we use the list of
modified extents maps to figure out which extents we must log and we can
get their checksums directly from the ordered extents that are still in
flight, otherwise look them up from the checksums tree.
Until commit b5e6c3e170b770 ("btrfs: always wait on ordered extents at
fsync time"), for fast fsyncs, we used to start logging without even
waiting for the writeback to complete first, we would wait for it to
complete after logging, while holding a transaction open, which lead to
performance issues when using cgroups and probably for other cases too,
as wait for IO while holding a transaction handle should be avoided as
much as possible. After that, for fast fsyncs, we started to wait for
ordered extents to complete before starting to log, which adds some
latency to fsyncs and we even got at least one report about a performance
drop which bisected to that particular change:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-btrfs/20181109215148.GF23260@techsingularity.net/
This change makes fast fsyncs only wait for writeback to finish before
starting to log the inode, instead of waiting for both the writeback to
finish and for the ordered extents to complete. This brings back part of
the logic we had that extracts checksums from in flight ordered extents,
which are not yet in the checksums tree, and making sure transaction
commits wait for the completion of ordered extents previously logged
(by far most of the time they have already completed by the time a
transaction commit starts, resulting in no wait at all), to avoid any
data loss if an ordered extent completes after the transaction used to
log an inode is committed, followed by a power failure.
When there are no other tasks accessing the checksums and the subvolume
btrees, the ordered extent completion is pretty fast, typically taking
100 to 200 microseconds only in my observations. However when there are
other tasks accessing these btrees, ordered extent completion can take a
lot more time due to lock contention on nodes and leaves of these btrees.
I've seen cases over 2 milliseconds, which starts to be significant. In
particular when we do have concurrent fsyncs against different files there
is a lot of contention on the checksums btree, since we have many tasks
writing the checksums into the btree and other tasks that already started
the logging phase are doing lookups for checksums in the btree.
This change also turns all ranged fsyncs into full ranged fsyncs, which
is something we already did when not using the NO_HOLES features or when
doing a full fsync. This is to guarantee we never miss checksums due to
writeback having been triggered only for a part of an extent, and we end
up logging the full extent but only checksums for the written range, which
results in missing checksums after log replay. Allowing ranged fsyncs to
operate again only in the original range, when using the NO_HOLES feature
and doing a fast fsync is doable but requires some non trivial changes to
the writeback path, which can always be worked on later if needed, but I
don't think they are a very common use case.
Several tests were performed using fio for different numbers of concurrent
jobs, each writing and fsyncing its own file, for both sequential and
random file writes. The tests were run on bare metal, no virtualization,
on a box with 12 cores (Intel i7-8700), 64Gb of RAM and a NVMe device,
with a kernel configuration that is the default of typical distributions
(debian in this case), without debug options enabled (kasan, kmemleak,
slub debug, debug of page allocations, lock debugging, etc).
The following script that calls fio was used:
$ cat test-fsync.sh
#!/bin/bash
DEV=/dev/nvme0n1
MNT=/mnt/btrfs
MOUNT_OPTIONS="-o ssd -o space_cache=v2"

Since commit d4682ba03ef618 ("Btrfs: sync log after logging new name") we
started to commit logs, and fallback to transaction commits when we failed
to log the new names or commit the logs, after link and rename operations
when the target inodes (or their parents) were previously logged in the
current transaction. This was to avoid losing directories despite an
explicit fsync on them when they are ancestors of some inode that got a
new named logged, due to a link or rename operation. However that adds the
cost of starting IO and waiting for it to complete, which can cause higher
latencies for applications.
Instead of doing that, just make sure that when we log a new name for an
inode we don't mark any of its ancestors as logged, so that if any one
does an fsync against any of them, without doing any other change on them,
the fsync commits the log. This way we only pay the cost of a log commit
(or a transaction commit if something goes wrong or a new block group was
created) if the application explicitly asks to fsync any of the parent
directories.
Using dbench, which mixes several filesystems operations including renames,
revealed some significant latency gains. The following script that uses
dbench was used to test this:
#!/bin/bash
DEV=/dev/nvme0n1
MNT=/mnt/btrfs
MOUNT_OPTIONS="-o ssd -o space_cache=v2"
MKFS_OPTIONS="-m single -d single"

mkfs.btrfs -f $MKFS_OPTIONS $DEV
mount $MOUNT_OPTIONS $DEV $MNT
dbench -t 300 -D $MNT $THREADS
umount $MNT
The test was run on bare metal, no virtualization, on a box with 12 cores
(Intel i7-8700), 64Gb of RAM and using a NVMe device, with a kernel
configuration that is the default of typical distributions (debian in this
case), without debug options enabled (kasan, kmemleak, slub debug, debug
of page allocations, lock debugging, etc).

During a rename we pin the log to make sure no one commits a log that
reflects an ongoing rename operation, as it might result in a committed
log where it recorded the unlink of the old name without having recorded
the new name. However we are taking the subvolume's log_mutex before
incrementing the log_writers counter, which is not necessary since that
counter is atomic and we only remove the old name from the log and add
the new name to the log after we have incremented log_writers, ensuring
that no one can commit the log after we have removed the old name from
the log and before we added the new name to the log.
By taking the log_mutex lock we are just adding unnecessary contention on
the lock, which can become visible for workloads that mix renames with
fsyncs, writes for files opened with O_SYNC and unlink operations (if the
inode or its parent were fsynced before in the current transaction).
So just remove the lock and unlock of the subvolume's log_mutex at
btrfs_pin_log_trans().
Using dbench, which mixes different types of operations that end up taking
that mutex (fsyncs, renames, unlinks and writes into files opened with
O_SYNC) revealed some small gains. The following script that calls dbench
was used:
#!/bin/bash

With my new locking code dbench is so much faster that I tripped over a
transaction abort from ENOSPC. This turned out to be because
btrfs_del_dir_entries_in_log was checking for ret == -ENOSPC, but this
function sets err on error, and returns err. So instead of properly
marking the inode as needing a full commit, we were returning -ENOSPC
and aborting in __btrfs_unlink_inode. Fix this by checking the proper
variable so that we return the correct thing in the case of ENOSPC.
The ENOENT needs to be checked, because btrfs_lookup_dir_item_index()
can return -ENOENT if the dir item isn't in the tree log (which would
happen if we hadn't fsync'ed this guy). We actually handle that case in
__btrfs_unlink_inode, so it's an expected error to get back.

While logging an inode, at copy_items(), if we fail to lookup the checksums
for an extent we release the destination path, free the ins_data array and
then return immediately. However a previous iteration of the for loop may
have added checksums to the ordered_sums list, in which case we leak the
memory used by them.
So fix this by making sure we iterate the ordered_sums list and free all
its checksums before returning.

The possibility of extents being shared (through clone and deduplication
operations) requires special care when logging data checksums, to avoid
having a log tree with different checksum items that cover ranges which
overlap (which resulted in missing checksums after replaying a log tree).
Such problems were fixed in the past by the following commits:
commit 40e046acbd2f ("Btrfs: fix missing data checksums after replaying a
log tree")
commit e289f03ea79b ("btrfs: fix corrupt log due to concurrent fsync of
inodes with shared extents")
Test case generic/588 exercises the scenario solved by the first commit
(purely sequential and deterministic) while test case generic/457 often
triggered the case fixed by the second commit (not deterministic, requires
specific timings under concurrency).
The problems were addressed by deleting, from the log tree, any existing
checksums before logging the new ones. And also by doing the deletion and
logging of the cheksums while locking the checksum range in an extent io
tree (root->log_csum_range), to deal with the case where we have concurrent
fsyncs against files with shared extents.
That however causes more contention on the leaves of a log tree where we
store checksums (and all the nodes in the paths leading to them), even
when we do not have shared extents, or all the shared extents were created
by past transactions. It also adds a bit of contention on the spin lock of
the log_csums_range extent io tree of the log root.
This change adds a 'last_reflink_trans' field to the inode to keep track
of the last transaction where a new extent was shared between inodes
(through clone and deduplication operations). It is updated for both the
source and destination inodes of reflink operations whenever a new extent
(created in the current transaction) becomes shared by the inodes. This
field is kept in memory only, not persisted in the inode item, similar
to other existing fields (last_unlink_trans, logged_trans).
When logging checksums for an extent, if the value of 'last_reflink_trans'
is smaller then the current transaction's generation/id, we skip locking
the extent range and deletion of checksums from the log tree, since we
know we do not have new shared extents. This reduces contention on the
log tree's leaves where checksums are stored.
The following script, which uses fio, was used to measure the impact of
this change:
$ cat test-fsync.sh
#!/bin/bash
DEV=/dev/sdk
MNT=/mnt/sdk
MOUNT_OPTIONS="-o ssd"
MKFS_OPTIONS="-d single -m single"
if [ $# -ne 3 ]; then
echo "Use $0 NUM_JOBS FILE_SIZE FSYNC_FREQ"
exit 1
fi
NUM_JOBS=$1
FILE_SIZE=$2
FSYNC_FREQ=$3
cat <<EOF > /tmp/fio-job.ini

echo
cat /tmp/fio-job.ini
echo
mkfs.btrfs -f $MKFS_OPTIONS $DEV
mount $MOUNT_OPTIONS $DEV $MNT
fio /tmp/fio-job.ini
umount $MNT
The tests were performed for different numbers of jobs, file sizes and
fsync frequency. A qemu VM using kvm was used, with 8 cores (the host has
12 cores, with cpu governance set to performance mode on all cores), 16GiB
of ram (the host has 64GiB) and using a NVMe device directly (without an
intermediary filesystem in the host). While running the tests, the host
was not used for anything else, to avoid disturbing the tests.
The obtained results were the following (the last line of fio's output was
pasted). Starting with 16 jobs is where a significant difference is
observable in this particular setup and hardware (differences highlighted
below). The very small differences for tests with less than 16 jobs are
possibly just noise and random.

When syncing the log, we used to update the log root tree without holding
neither the log_mutex of the subvolume root nor the log_mutex of log root
tree.
We used to have two critical sections delimited by the log_mutex of the
log root tree, so in the first one we incremented the log_writers of the
log root tree and on the second one we decremented it and waited for the
log_writers counter to go down to zero. This was because the update of
the log root tree happened between the two critical sections.
The use of two critical sections allowed a little bit more of parallelism
and required the use of the log_writers counter, necessary to make sure
we didn't miss any log root tree update when we have multiple tasks trying
to sync the log in parallel.
However after commit 06989c799f0481 ("Btrfs: fix race updating log root
item during fsync") the log root tree update was moved into a critical
section delimited by the subvolume's log_mutex. Later another commit
moved the log tree update from that critical section into the second
critical section delimited by the log_mutex of the log root tree. Both
commits addressed different bugs.
The end result is that the first critical section delimited by the
log_mutex of the log root tree became pointless, since there's nothing
done between it and the second critical section, we just have an unlock
of the log_mutex followed by a lock operation. This means we can merge
both critical sections, as the first one does almost nothing now, and we
can stop using the log_writers counter of the log root tree, which was
incremented in the first critical section and decremented in the second
criticial section, used to make sure no one in the second critical section
started writeback of the log root tree before some other task updated it.
So just remove the mutex_unlock() followed by mutex_lock() of the log root
tree, as well as the use of the log_writers counter for the log root tree.
This patch is part of a series that has the following patches:
1/4 btrfs: only commit the delayed inode when doing a full fsync
2/4 btrfs: only commit delayed items at fsync if we are logging a directory
3/4 btrfs: stop incremening log_batch for the log root tree when syncing log
4/4 btrfs: remove no longer needed use of log_writers for the log root tree
After the entire patchset applied I saw about 12% decrease on max latency
reported by dbench. The test was done on a qemu vm, with 8 cores, 16Gb of
ram, using kvm and using a raw NVMe device directly (no intermediary fs on
the host). The test was invoked like the following:
mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdk
mount -o ssd -o nospace_cache /dev/sdk /mnt/sdk
dbench -D /mnt/sdk -t 300 8
umount /mnt/dsk

We are incrementing the log_batch atomic counter of the root log tree but
we never use that counter, it's used only for the log trees of subvolume
roots. We started doing it when we moved the log_batch and log_write
counters from the global, per fs, btrfs_fs_info structure, into the
btrfs_root structure in commit 7237f1833601dc ("Btrfs: fix tree logs
parallel sync").
So just stop doing it for the log root tree and add a comment over the
field declaration so inform it's used only for log trees of subvolume
roots.

When logging an inode we are committing its delayed items if either the
inode is a directory or if it is a new inode, created in the current
transaction.
We need to do it for directories, since new directory indexes are stored
as delayed items of the inode and when logging a directory we need to be
able to access all indexes from the fs/subvolume tree in order to figure
out which index ranges need to be logged.
However for new inodes that are not directories, we do not need to do it
because the only type of delayed item they can have is the inode item, and
we are guaranteed to always log an up to date version of the inode item:
*) for a full fsync we do it by committing the delayed inode and then
copying the item from the fs/subvolume tree with
copy_inode_items_to_log();
*) for a fast fsync we always log the inode item based on the contents of
the in-memory struct btrfs_inode. We guarantee this is always done since
commit e4545de5b035c7 ("Btrfs: fix fsync data loss after append write").
So stop running delayed items for a new inodes that are not directories,
since that forces committing the delayed inode into the fs/subvolume tree,
wasting time and adding contention to the tree when a full fsync is not
required. We will only do it in case a fast fsync is needed.

1/4 btrfs: only commit the delayed inode when doing a full fsync

Commit 2c2c452b0cafdc ("Btrfs: fix fsync when extend references are added
to an inode") forced a commit of the delayed inode when logging an inode
in order to ensure we would end up logging the inode item during a full
fsync. By committing the delayed inode, we updated the inode item in the
fs/subvolume tree and then later when copying items from leafs modified in
the current transaction into the log tree (with copy_inode_items_to_log())
we ended up copying the inode item from the fs/subvolume tree into the log
tree. Logging an up to date version of the inode item is required to make
sure at log replay time we get the link count fixup triggered among other
things (replay xattr deletes, etc). The test case generic/040 from fstests
exercises the bug which that commit fixed.
However for a fast fsync we don't need to commit the delayed inode because
we always log an up to date version of the inode item based on the struct
btrfs_inode we have in-memory. We started doing this for fast fsyncs since
commit e4545de5b035c7 ("Btrfs: fix fsync data loss after append write").
So just stop committing the delayed inode if we are doing a fast fsync,
we are only wasting time and adding contention on fs/subvolume tree.
