commit 410f954cb1d1c79ae485dd83a175f21954fd87cd upstream.

Sometimes when fsync'ing a file we need to log that other inodes exist and
when we need to do that we acquire a reference on the inodes and then drop
that reference using iput() after logging them.

That generally is not a problem except if we end up doing the final iput()
(dropping the last reference) on the inode and that inode has a link count
of 0, which can happen in a very short time window if the logging path
gets a reference on the inode while it's being unlinked.

In that case we end up getting the eviction callback, btrfs_evict_inode(),
invoked through the iput() call chain which needs to drop all of the
inode's items from its subvolume btree, and in order to do that, it needs
to join a transaction at the helper function evict_refill_and_join().
However because the task previously started a transaction at the fsync
handler, btrfs_sync_file(), it has current-&gt;journal_info already pointing
to a transaction handle and therefore evict_refill_and_join() will get
that transaction handle from btrfs_join_transaction(). From this point on,
two different problems can happen:

1) evict_refill_and_join() will often change the transaction handle's
   block reserve (-&gt;block_rsv) and set its -&gt;bytes_reserved field to a
   value greater than 0. If evict_refill_and_join() never commits the
   transaction, the eviction handler ends up decreasing the reference
   count (-&gt;use_count) of the transaction handle through the call to
   btrfs_end_transaction(), and after that point we have a transaction
   handle with a NULL -&gt;block_rsv (which is the value prior to the
   transaction join from evict_refill_and_join()) and a -&gt;bytes_reserved
   value greater than 0. If after the eviction/iput completes the inode
   logging path hits an error or it decides that it must fallback to a
   transaction commit, the btrfs fsync handle, btrfs_sync_file(), gets a
   non-zero value from btrfs_log_dentry_safe(), and because of that
   non-zero value it tries to commit the transaction using a handle with
   a NULL -&gt;block_rsv and a non-zero -&gt;bytes_reserved value. This makes
   the transaction commit hit an assertion failure at
   btrfs_trans_release_metadata() because -&gt;bytes_reserved is not zero but
   the -&gt;block_rsv is NULL. The produced stack trace for that is like the
   following:

2) If evict_refill_and_join() decides to commit the transaction, it will
   be able to do it, since the nested transaction join only increments the
   transaction handle's -&gt;use_count reference counter and it does not
   prevent the transaction from getting committed. This means that after
   eviction completes, the fsync logging path will be using a transaction
   handle that refers to an already committed transaction. What happens
   when using such a stale transaction can be unpredictable, we are at
   least having a use-after-free on the transaction handle itself, since
   the transaction commit will call kmem_cache_free() against the handle
   regardless of its -&gt;use_count value, or we can end up silently losing
   all the updates to the log tree after that iput() in the logging path,
   or using a transaction handle that in the meanwhile was allocated to
   another task for a new transaction, etc, pretty much unpredictable
   what can happen.

In order to fix both of them, instead of using iput() during logging, use
btrfs_add_delayed_iput(), so that the logging path of fsync never drops
the last reference on an inode, that step is offloaded to a safe context
(usually the cleaner kthread).

The assertion failure issue was sporadically triggered by the test case
generic/475 from fstests, which loads the dm error target while fsstress
is running, which lead to fsync failing while logging inodes with -EIO
errors and then trying later to commit the transaction, triggering the
assertion failure.

commit 803f0f64d17769071d7287d9e3e3b79a3e1ae937 upstream.

In order to avoid searches on a log tree when unlinking an inode, we check
if the inode being unlinked was logged in the current transaction, as well
as the inode of its parent directory. When any of the inodes are logged,
we proceed to delete directory items and inode reference items from the
log, to ensure that if a subsequent fsync of only the inode being unlinked
or only of the parent directory when the other is not fsync'ed as well,
does not result in the entry still existing after a power failure.

That check however is not reliable when one of the inodes involved (the
one being unlinked or its parent directory's inode) is evicted, since the
logged_trans field is transient, that is, it is not stored on disk, so it
is lost when the inode is evicted and loaded into memory again (which is
set to zero on load). As a consequence the checks currently being done by
btrfs_del_dir_entries_in_log() and btrfs_del_inode_ref_in_log() always
return true if the inode was evicted before, regardless of the inode
having been logged or not before (and in the current transaction), this
results in the dentry being unlinked still existing after a log replay
if after the unlink operation only one of the inodes involved is fsync'ed.

Example:

  $ mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdb
  $ mount /dev/sdb /mnt

  $ mkdir /mnt/dir
  $ touch /mnt/dir/foo
  $ xfs_io -c fsync /mnt/dir/foo

  # Keep an open file descriptor on our directory while we evict inodes.
  # We just want to evict the file's inode, the directory's inode must not
  # be evicted.
  $ ( cd /mnt/dir; while true; do :; done ) &amp;
  $ pid=$!

  # Wait a bit to give time to background process to chdir to our test
  # directory.
  $ sleep 0.5

  # Trigger eviction of the file's inode.
  $ echo 2 &gt; /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

  # Unlink our file and fsync the parent directory. After a power failure
  # we don't expect to see the file anymore, since we fsync'ed the parent
  # directory.
  $ rm -f $SCRATCH_MNT/dir/foo
  $ xfs_io -c fsync /mnt/dir

  &lt;power failure&gt;

  $ mount /dev/sdb /mnt
  $ ls /mnt/dir
  foo
  $
   --&gt; file still there, unlink not persisted despite explicit fsync on dir

Fix this by checking if the inode has the full_sync bit set in its runtime
flags as well, since that bit is set everytime an inode is loaded from
disk, or for other less common cases such as after a shrinking truncate
or failure to allocate extent maps for holes, and gets cleared after the
first fsync. Also consider the inode as possibly logged only if it was
last modified in the current transaction (besides having the full_fsync
flag set).

<title>Btrfs: fix data loss after inode eviction, renaming it, and fsync it</title>

commit d1d832a0b51dd9570429bb4b81b2a6c1759e681a upstream.

When we log an inode, regardless of logging it completely or only that it
exists, we always update it as logged (logged_trans and last_log_commit
fields of the inode are updated). This is generally fine and avoids future
attempts to log it from having to do repeated work that brings no value.

However, if we write data to a file, then evict its inode after all the
dealloc was flushed (and ordered extents completed), rename the file and
fsync it, we end up not logging the new extents, since the rename may
result in logging that the inode exists in case the parent directory was
logged before. The following reproducer shows and explains how this can
happen:

  $ mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdb
  $ mount /dev/sdb /mnt

  $ mkdir /mnt/dir
  $ touch /mnt/dir/foo
  $ touch /mnt/dir/bar

  # Do a direct IO write instead of a buffered write because with a
  # buffered write we would need to make sure dealloc gets flushed and
  # complete before we do the inode eviction later, and we can not do that
  # from user space with call to things such as sync(2) since that results
  # in a transaction commit as well.
  $ xfs_io -d -c "pwrite -S 0xd3 0 4K" /mnt/dir/bar

  # Keep the directory dir in use while we evict inodes. We want our file
  # bar's inode to be evicted but we don't want our directory's inode to
  # be evicted (if it were evicted too, we would not be able to reproduce
  # the issue since the first fsync below, of file foo, would result in a
  # transaction commit.
  $ ( cd /mnt/dir; while true; do :; done ) &amp;
  $ pid=$!

  # Wait a bit to give time for the background process to chdir.
  $ sleep 0.1

  # Evict all inodes, except the inode for the directory dir because it is
  # currently in use by our background process.
  $ echo 2 &gt; /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

  # fsync file foo, which ends up persisting information about the parent
  # directory because it is a new inode.
  $ xfs_io -c fsync /mnt/dir/foo

  # Rename bar, this results in logging that this inode exists (inode item,
  # names, xattrs) because the parent directory is in the log.
  $ mv /mnt/dir/bar /mnt/dir/baz

  # Now fsync baz, which ends up doing absolutely nothing because of the
  # rename operation which logged that the inode exists only.
  $ xfs_io -c fsync /mnt/dir/baz

  &lt;power failure&gt;

  $ mount /dev/sdb /mnt
  $ od -t x1 -A d /mnt/dir/baz
  0000000

    --&gt; Empty file, data we wrote is missing.

Fix this by not updating last_sub_trans of an inode when we are logging
only that it exists and the inode was not yet logged since it was loaded
from disk (full_sync bit set), this is enough to make btrfs_inode_in_log()
return false for this scenario and make us log the inode. The logged_trans
of the inode is still always setsince that alone is used to track if names
need to be deleted as part of unlink operations.

<title>Btrfs: fix race updating log root item during fsync</title>

<content type='text'>
When syncing the log, the final phase of a fsync operation, we need to
either create a log root's item or update the existing item in the log
tree of log roots, and that depends on the current value of the log
root's log_transid - if it's 1 we need to create the log root item,
otherwise it must exist already and we update it. Since there is no
synchronization between updating the log_transid and checking it for
deciding whether the log root's item needs to be created or updated, we
end up with a tiny race window that results in attempts to update the
item to fail because the item was not yet created:

              CPU 1                                    CPU 2

  btrfs_sync_log()

    lock root-&gt;log_mutex

    set log root's log_transid to 1

    unlock root-&gt;log_mutex

                                               btrfs_sync_log()

                                                 lock root-&gt;log_mutex

                                                 sets log root's
                                                 log_transid to 2

                                                 unlock root-&gt;log_mutex

    update_log_root()

      sees log root's log_transid
      with a value of 2

        calls btrfs_update_root(),
        which fails with -EUCLEAN
        and causes transaction abort

Until recently the race lead to a BUG_ON at btrfs_update_root(), but after
the recent commit 7ac1e464c4d47 ("btrfs: Don't panic when we can't find a
root key") we just abort the current transaction.

So fix this by doing the check of log_transid and updating or creating the

<title>Btrfs: fix fsync not persisting changed attributes of a directory</title>

While logging an inode we follow its ancestors and for each one we mark
it as logged in the current transaction, even if we have not logged it.
As a consequence if we change an attribute of an ancestor, such as the
UID or GID for example, and then explicitly fsync it, we end up not
logging the inode at all despite returning success to user space, which
results in the attribute being lost if a power failure happens after
the fsync.

Sample reproducer:

  $ mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdb
  $ mount /dev/sdb /mnt

  $ mkdir /mnt/dir
  $ chown 6007:6007 /mnt/dir

  $ sync

  $ chown 9003:9003 /mnt/dir
  $ touch /mnt/dir/file
  $ xfs_io -c fsync /mnt/dir/file

  # fsync our directory after fsync'ing the new file, should persist the
  # new values for the uid and gid.
  $ xfs_io -c fsync /mnt/dir

  &lt;power failure&gt;

  $ mount /dev/sdb /mnt
  $ stat -c %u:%g /mnt/dir
  6007:6007

    --&gt; should be 9003:9003, the uid and gid were not persisted, despite
        the explicit fsync on the directory prior to the power failure

Fix this by not updating the logged_trans field of ancestor inodes when
logging an inode, since we have not logged them. Let only future calls to
btrfs_log_inode() to mark inodes as logged.

This could be triggered by my recent fsync fuzz tester for fstests, for
which an fstests patch exists titled "fstests: generic, fsync fuzz tester
with fsstress".

<title>Btrfs: avoid fallback to transaction commit during fsync of files with holes</title>

<id>urn:sha1:ebb929060aeb162417b4c1307e63daee47b208d9</id>
<content type='text'>
When we are doing a full fsync (bit BTRFS_INODE_NEEDS_FULL_SYNC set) of a
file that has holes and has file extent items spanning two or more leafs,
we can end up falling to back to a full transaction commit due to a logic
bug that leads to failure to insert a duplicate file extent item that is
meant to represent a hole between the last file extent item of a leaf and
the first file extent item in the next leaf. The failure (EEXIST error)
leads to a transaction commit (as most errors when logging an inode do).

For example, we have the two following leafs:

Leaf N:

  -----------------------------------------------
  | ..., ..., ..., (257, FILE_EXTENT_ITEM, 64K) |
  -----------------------------------------------
  The file extent item at the end of leaf N has a length of 4Kb,
  representing the file range from 64K to 68K - 1.

Leaf N + 1:

  -----------------------------------------------
  | (257, FILE_EXTENT_ITEM, 72K), ..., ..., ... |
  -----------------------------------------------
  The file extent item at the first slot of leaf N + 1 has a length of
  4Kb too, representing the file range from 72K to 76K - 1.

During the full fsync path, when we are at tree-log.c:copy_items() with
leaf N as a parameter, after processing the last file extent item, that
represents the extent at offset 64K, we take a look at the first file
extent item at the next leaf (leaf N + 1), and notice there's a 4K hole
between the two extents, and therefore we insert a file extent item
representing that hole, starting at file offset 68K and ending at offset
72K - 1. However we don't update the value of *last_extent, which is used
to represent the end offset (plus 1, non-inclusive end) of the last file
extent item inserted in the log, so it stays with a value of 68K and not
with a value of 72K.

Then, when copy_items() is called for leaf N + 1, because the value of
*last_extent is smaller then the offset of the first extent item in the
leaf (68K &lt; 72K), we look at the last file extent item in the previous
leaf (leaf N) and see it there's a 4K gap between it and our first file
extent item (again, 68K &lt; 72K), so we decide to insert a file extent item
representing the hole, starting at file offset 68K and ending at offset
72K - 1, this insertion will fail with -EEXIST being returned from
btrfs_insert_file_extent() because we already inserted a file extent item
representing a hole for this offset (68K) in the previous call to
copy_items(), when processing leaf N.

The -EEXIST error gets propagated to the fsync callback, btrfs_sync_file(),
which falls back to a full transaction commit.

Fix this by adjusting *last_extent after inserting a hole when we had to
look at the next leaf.

<id>urn:sha1:b8aa330d2acb122563be87c42d82c5c8649cf658</id>
<content type='text'>
Commit 41bd6067692382 ("Btrfs: fix fsync of files with multiple hard links
in new directories") introduced a path that makes fsync fallback to a full
transaction commit in order to avoid losing hard links and new ancestors
of the fsynced inode. That path is triggered only when the inode has more
than one hard link and either has a new hard link created in the current
transaction or the inode was evicted and reloaded in the current
transaction.

That path ends up getting triggered very often (hundreds of times) during
the course of pgbench benchmarks, resulting in performance drops of about
20%.

This change restores the performance by not triggering the full transaction
commit in those cases, and instead iterate the fs/subvolume tree in search
of all possible new ancestors, for all hard links, to log them.
