btrfs: fix unwritten extent buffer after snapshotting a new subvolume

2023-11-02T08:36:50+00:00

[ Upstream commit eb96e221937af3c7bb8a63208dbab813ca5d3d7e ] When creating a snapshot of a subvolume that was created in the current transaction, we can end up not persisting a dirty extent buffer that is referenced by the snapshot, resulting in IO errors due to checksum failures when trying to read the extent buffer later from disk. A sequence of steps that leads to this is the following: 1) At ioctl.c:create_subvol() we allocate an extent buffer, with logical address 36007936, for the leaf/root of a new subvolume that has an ID of 291. We mark the extent buffer as dirty, and at this point the subvolume tree has a single node/leaf which is also its root (level 0); 2) We no longer commit the transaction used to create the subvolume at create_subvol(). We used to, but that was recently removed in commit 1b53e51a4a8f ("btrfs: don't commit transaction for every subvol create"); 3) The transaction used to create the subvolume has an ID of 33, so the extent buffer 36007936 has a generation of 33; 4) Several updates happen to subvolume 291 during transaction 33, several files created and its tree height changes from 0 to 1, so we end up with a new root at level 1 and the extent buffer 36007936 is now a leaf of that new root node, which is extent buffer 36048896. The commit root remains as 36007936, since we are still at transaction 33; 5) Creation of a snapshot of subvolume 291, with an ID of 292, starts at ioctl.c:create_snapshot(). This triggers a commit of transaction 33 and we end up at transaction.c:create_pending_snapshot(), in the critical section of a transaction commit. There we COW the root of subvolume 291, which is extent buffer 36048896. The COW operation returns extent buffer 36048896, since there's no need to COW because the extent buffer was created in this transaction and it was not written yet. The we call btrfs_copy_root() against the root node 36048896. During this operation we allocate a new extent buffer to turn into the root node of the snapshot, copy the contents of the root node 36048896 into this snapshot root extent buffer, set the owner to 292 (the ID of the snapshot), etc, and then we call btrfs_inc_ref(). This will create a delayed reference for each leaf pointed by the root node with a reference root of 292 - this includes a reference for the leaf 36007936. After that we set the bit BTRFS_ROOT_FORCE_COW in the root's state. Then we call btrfs_insert_dir_item(), to create the directory entry in in the tree of subvolume 291 that points to the snapshot. This ends up needing to modify leaf 36007936 to insert the respective directory items. Because the bit BTRFS_ROOT_FORCE_COW is set for the root's state, we need to COW the leaf. We end up at btrfs_force_cow_block() and then at update_ref_for_cow(). At update_ref_for_cow() we call btrfs_block_can_be_shared() which returns false, despite the fact the leaf 36007936 is shared - the subvolume's root and the snapshot's root point to that leaf. The reason that it incorrectly returns false is because the commit root of the subvolume is extent buffer 36007936 - it was the initial root of the subvolume when we created it. So btrfs_block_can_be_shared() which has the following logic: int btrfs_block_can_be_shared(struct btrfs_root *root, struct extent_buffer *buf) { if (test_bit(BTRFS_ROOT_SHAREABLE, &root->state) && buf != root->node && buf != root->commit_root && (btrfs_header_generation(buf) <= btrfs_root_last_snapshot(&root->root_item) || btrfs_header_flag(buf, BTRFS_HEADER_FLAG_RELOC))) return 1; return 0; } Returns false (0) since 'buf' (extent buffer 36007936) matches the root's commit root. As a result, at update_ref_for_cow(), we don't check for the number of references for extent buffer 36007936, we just assume it's not shared and therefore that it has only 1 reference, so we set the local variable 'refs' to 1. Later on, in the final if-else statement at update_ref_for_cow(): static noinline int update_ref_for_cow(struct btrfs_trans_handle *trans, struct btrfs_root *root, struct extent_buffer *buf, struct extent_buffer *cow, int *last_ref) { (...) if (refs > 1) { (...) } else { (...) btrfs_clear_buffer_dirty(trans, buf); *last_ref = 1; } } So we mark the extent buffer 36007936 as not dirty, and as a result we don't write it to disk later in the transaction commit, despite the fact that the snapshot's root points to it. Attempting to access the leaf or dumping the tree for example shows that the extent buffer was not written: $ btrfs inspect-internal dump-tree -t 292 /dev/sdb btrfs-progs v6.2.2 file tree key (292 ROOT_ITEM 33) node 36110336 level 1 items 2 free space 119 generation 33 owner 292 node 36110336 flags 0x1(WRITTEN) backref revision 1 checksum stored a8103e3e checksum calced a8103e3e fs uuid 90c9a46f-ae9f-4626-9aff-0cbf3e2e3a79 chunk uuid e8c9c885-78f4-4d31-85fe-89e5f5fd4a07 key (256 INODE_ITEM 0) block 36007936 gen 33 key (257 EXTENT_DATA 0) block 36052992 gen 33 checksum verify failed on 36007936 wanted 0x00000000 found 0x86005f29 checksum verify failed on 36007936 wanted 0x00000000 found 0x86005f29 total bytes 107374182400 bytes used 38572032 uuid 90c9a46f-ae9f-4626-9aff-0cbf3e2e3a79 The respective on disk region is full of zeroes as the device was trimmed at mkfs time.

btrfs: remove v0 extent handling

2023-11-02T08:36:50+00:00

[ Upstream commit 182741d287fb1ea870ee6ef45aa1915a0b031233 ] The v0 extent item has been deprecated for a long time, and we don't have any report from the community either. So it's time to remove the v0 extent specific error handling, and just treat them as regular extent tree corruption. This patch would remove the btrfs_print_v0_err() helper, and enhance the involved error handling to treat them just as any extent tree corruption. No reports regarding v0 extents have been seen since the graceful handling was added in 2018. This involves: - btrfs_backref_add_tree_node() This change is a little tricky, the new code is changed to only handle BTRFS_TREE_BLOCK_REF_KEY and BTRFS_SHARED_BLOCK_REF_KEY. But this is safe, as we have rejected any unknown inline refs through btrfs_get_extent_inline_ref_type(). For keyed backrefs, we're safe to skip anything we don't know (that's if it can pass tree-checker in the first place). - btrfs_lookup_extent_info() - lookup_inline_extent_backref() - run_delayed_extent_op() - __btrfs_free_extent() - add_tree_block() Regular error handling of unexpected extent tree item, and abort transaction (if we have a trans handle). - remove_extent_data_ref() It's pretty much the same as the regular rejection of unknown backref key. But for this particular case, we can also remove a BUG_ON(). - extent_data_ref_count() We can remove the BTRFS_EXTENT_REF_V0_KEY BUG_ON(), as it would be rejected by the only caller. - btrfs_print_leaf() Remove the handling for BTRFS_EXTENT_REF_V0_KEY.

btrfs: fix backref walking not returning all inode refs

2023-05-09T20:09:11+00:00

When using the logical to ino ioctl v2, if the flag to ignore offsets of file extent items (BTRFS_LOGICAL_INO_ARGS_IGNORE_OFFSET) is given, the backref walking code ends up not returning references for all file offsets of an inode that point to the given logical bytenr. This happens since kernel 6.2, commit 6ce6ba534418 ("btrfs: use a single argument for extent offset in backref walking functions") because: 1) It mistakenly skipped the search for file extent items in a leaf that point to the target extent if that flag is given. Instead it should only skip the filtering done by check_extent_in_eb() - that is, it should not avoid the calls to that function (or find_extent_in_eb(), which uses it). 2) It was also not building a list of inode extent elements (struct extent_inode_elem) if we have multiple inode references for an extent when the ignore offset flag is given to the logical to ino ioctl - it would leave a single element, only the last one that was found. These stem from the confusing old interface for backref walking functions where we had an extent item offset argument that was a pointer to a u64 and another boolean argument that indicated if the offset should be ignored, but the pointer could be NULL. That NULL case is used by relocation, qgroup extent accounting and fiemap, simply to avoid building the inode extent list for each reference, as it's not necessary for those use cases and therefore avoids memory allocations and some computations. Fix this by adding a boolean argument to the backref walk context structure to indicate that the inode extent list should not be built, make relocation set that argument to true and fix the backref walking logic to skip the calls to check_extent_in_eb() and find_extent_in_eb() only if this new argument is true, instead of 'ignore_extent_item_pos' being true. A test case for fstests will be added soon, to provide cover not only for these cases but to the logical to ino ioctl in general as well, as currently we do not have a test case for it.

btrfs: ignore fiemap path cache when there are multiple paths for a node

2023-03-28T23:16:23+00:00

During fiemap, when walking backreferences to determine if a b+tree node/leaf is shared, we may find a tree block (leaf or node) for which two parents were added to the references ulist. This happens if we get for example one direct ref (shared tree block ref) and one indirect ref (non-shared tree block ref) for the tree block at the current level, which can happen during relocation. In that case the fiemap path cache can not be used since it's meant for a single path, with one tree block at each possible level, so having multiple references for a tree block at any level may result in getting the level counter exceed BTRFS_MAX_LEVEL and eventually trigger the warning: WARN_ON_ONCE(level >= BTRFS_MAX_LEVEL) at lookup_backref_shared_cache() and at store_backref_shared_cache(). This is harmless since the code ignores any level >= BTRFS_MAX_LEVEL, the warning is there just to catch any unexpected case like the one described above. However if a user finds this it may be scary and get reported. So just ignore the path cache once we find a tree block for which there are more than one reference, which is the less common case, and update the cache with the sharedness check result for all levels below the level for which we found multiple references.

btrfs: skip backref walking during fiemap if we know the leaf is shared

2023-02-15T18:38:50+00:00

During fiemap, when checking if a data extent is shared we are doing the backref walking even if we already know the leaf is shared, which is a waste of time since if the leaf shared then the data extent is also shared. So skip the backref walking when we know we are in a shared leaf. The following test was measures the gains for a case where all leaves are shared due to a snapshot: $ cat test.sh #!/bin/bash DEV=/dev/sdj MNT=/mnt/sdj umount $DEV &> /dev/null mkfs.btrfs -f $DEV # Use compression to quickly create files with a lot of extents # (each with a size of 128K). mount -o compress=lzo $DEV $MNT # 40G gives 327680 extents, each with a size of 128K. xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -S 0xab -b 1M 0 40G" $MNT/foobar # Add some more files to increase the size of the fs and extent # trees (in the real world there's a lot of files and extents # from other files). xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -S 0xcd -b 1M 0 20G" $MNT/file1 xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -S 0xef -b 1M 0 20G" $MNT/file2 xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -S 0x73 -b 1M 0 20G" $MNT/file3 # Create a snapshot so all the extents become indirectly shared # through subtrees, with a generation less than or equals to the # generation used to create the snapshot. btrfs subvolume snapshot -r $MNT $MNT/snap1 # Unmount and mount again to clear cached metadata. umount $MNT mount -o compress=lzo $DEV $MNT start=$(date +%s%N) # The filefrag tool uses the fiemap ioctl. filefrag $MNT/foobar end=$(date +%s%N) dur=$(( (end - start) / 1000000 )) echo "fiemap took $dur milliseconds (metadata not cached)" echo start=$(date +%s%N) filefrag $MNT/foobar end=$(date +%s%N) dur=$(( (end - start) / 1000000 )) echo "fiemap took $dur milliseconds (metadata cached)" umount $MNT The results were the following on a non-debug kernel (Debian's default kernel config).

btrfs: assert commit root semaphore is held when accessing backref cache

2023-02-15T18:38:50+00:00

During fiemap, when accessing the cache that stores the sharedness of an extent, we need to either be holding a transaction handle or the commit root semaphore. I left comments about this in the comment that precedes store_backref_shared_cache() and lookup_backref_shared_cache(), but have actually not enforced it through assertions. So assert that the commit root semaphore is held if we are not holding a transaction handle.

If a file consists of an inline extent followed by a regular or prealloc extent, then a legitimate attempt to resolve a logical address in the non-inline region will result in add_all_parents reading the invalid offset field of the inline extent.

btrfs: concentrate all tree block parentness check parameters into one structure

2022-12-05T17:00:56+00:00

There are several different tree block parentness check parameters used across several helpers: - level Mandatory - transid Under most cases it's mandatory, but there are several backref cases which skips this check. - owner_root - first_key Utilized by most top-down tree search routine. Otherwise can be skipped. Those four members are not always mandatory checks, and some of them are the same u64, which means if some arguments got swapped compiler will not catch it. Furthermore if we're going to further expand the parentness check, we need to modify quite some helpers just to add one more parameter. This patch will concentrate all these members into a structure called btrfs_tree_parent_check, and pass that structure for the following helpers: - btrfs_read_extent_buffer() - read_tree_block() Signed-off-by: Qu Wenruo Signed-off-by: David Sterba

btrfs: send: skip resolution of our own backref when finding clone source

2022-12-05T17:00:50+00:00

When doing backref walking to determine a source range to clone from, it is worthless to collect and resolve our own data backref, as we can't obviously use it as a clone source and it represents the range we want to clone into. Collecting the backref implies doing the extra work to resolve it, doing the search for a file extent item in a subvolume tree, etc. Skipping the data backref is valid as long as we only have the send root as the single clone root, otherwise the leaf with the file extent item may be accessible from another clone root due to shared subtrees created by snapshots, and therefore we have to collect the backref and resolve it. So add a callback to the backref walking code to guide it to skip data backrefs. This change is part of a patchset comprised of the following patches: 01/17 btrfs: fix inode list leak during backref walking at resolve_indirect_refs() 02/17 btrfs: fix inode list leak during backref walking at find_parent_nodes() 03/17 btrfs: fix ulist leaks in error paths of qgroup self tests 04/17 btrfs: remove pointless and double ulist frees in error paths of qgroup tests 05/17 btrfs: send: avoid unnecessary path allocations when finding extent clone 06/17 btrfs: send: update comment at find_extent_clone() 07/17 btrfs: send: drop unnecessary backref context field initializations 08/17 btrfs: send: avoid unnecessary backref lookups when finding clone source 09/17 btrfs: send: optimize clone detection to increase extent sharing 10/17 btrfs: use a single argument for extent offset in backref walking functions 11/17 btrfs: use a structure to pass arguments to backref walking functions 12/17 btrfs: reuse roots ulist on each leaf iteration for iterate_extent_inodes() 13/17 btrfs: constify ulist parameter of ulist_next() 14/17 btrfs: send: cache leaf to roots mapping during backref walking 15/17 btrfs: send: skip unnecessary backref iterations 16/17 btrfs: send: avoid double extent tree search when finding clone source 17/17 btrfs: send: skip resolution of our own backref when finding clone source The following test was run on non-debug kernel (Debian's default kernel config) before and after applying the patchset: $ cat test-send-many-shared-extents.sh #!/bin/bash DEV=/dev/sdh MNT=/mnt/sdh umount $DEV &> /dev/null mkfs.btrfs -f $DEV mount $DEV $MNT num_files=50000 num_clones_per_file=50 for ((i = 1; i <= $num_files; i++)); do xfs_io -f -c "pwrite 0 64K" $MNT/file_$i > /dev/null echo -ne "\r$i files created..." done echo btrfs subvolume snapshot -r $MNT $MNT/snap1 cloned=0 for ((i = 1; i <= $num_clones_per_file; i++)); do for ((j = 1; j <= $num_files; j++)); do cp --reflink=always $MNT/file_$j $MNT/file_${j}_clone_${i} cloned=$((cloned + 1)) echo -ne "\r$cloned / $((num_files * num_clones_per_file)) clone operations" done done echo btrfs subvolume snapshot -r $MNT $MNT/snap2 # Unmount and mount again to clear all cached metadata (and data). umount $DEV mount $DEV $MNT start=$(date +%s%N) btrfs send $MNT/snap2 > /dev/null end=$(date +%s%N) dur=$(( (end - start) / 1000000000 )) echo -e "\nFull send took $dur seconds" # Unmount and mount again to clear all cached metadata (and data). umount $DEV mount $DEV $MNT start=$(date +%s%N) btrfs send -p $MNT/snap1 $MNT/snap2 > /dev/null end=$(date +%s%N) dur=$(( (end - start) / 1000000000 )) echo -e "\nIncremental send took $dur seconds" umount $MNT Before applying the patchset: (...)
