The O_TMPFILE creation implementation creates a specific order of
operations for inode allocation/freeing and unlinked list
modification. Currently both are serialised by the AGI, so the order
doesn't strictly matter as long as the are both in the same
transaction.

However, if we want to move the unlinked list insertions largely out
from under the AGI lock, then we have to be concerned about the
order in which we do unlinked list modification operations.
O_TMPFILE creation tells us this order is inode allocation/free,
then unlinked list modification.

Change xfs_ifree() to use this same ordering on unlinked list
removal. This way we always guarantee that when we enter the
iunlinked list removal code from this path, we already have the AGI
locked and we don't have to worry about lock nesting AGI reads
inside unlink list locks because it's already locked and attached to
the transaction.

We can do this safely as the inode freeing and unlinked list removal
are done in the same transaction and hence are atomic operations
with respect to log recovery.

5.18 w/ std=gnu11 compiled with gcc-5 wants flags stored in unsigned
fields to be unsigned. This manifests as a compiler error such as:

/kisskb/src/fs/xfs/./xfs_trace.h:432:2: note: in expansion of macro 'TP_printk'
  TP_printk("dev %d:%d daddr 0x%llx bbcount 0x%x hold %d pincount %d "
  ^

     __print_flags(__entry-&gt;flags, "|", XFS_BUF_FLAGS),
     ^
/kisskb/src/fs/xfs/xfs_buf.h:67:4: note: in expansion of macro 'XBF_UNMAPPED'
  { XBF_UNMAPPED,  "UNMAPPED" }
    ^
/kisskb/src/fs/xfs/./xfs_trace.h:440:40: note: in expansion of macro 'XFS_BUF_FLAGS'
     __print_flags(__entry-&gt;flags, "|", XFS_BUF_FLAGS),

/kisskb/src/fs/xfs/./xfs_trace.h: In function 'trace_raw_output_xfs_buf_flags_class':
/kisskb/src/fs/xfs/xfs_buf.h:46:23: error: initializer element is not constant
 #define XBF_UNMAPPED  (1 &lt;&lt; 31)/* do not map the buffer */

as __print_flags assigns XFS_BUF_FLAGS to a structure that uses an
unsigned long for the flag. Since this results in the value of
XBF_UNMAPPED causing a signed integer overflow, the result is
technically undefined behavior, which gcc-5 does not accept as an
integer constant.

This is based on a patch from Arnd Bergman &lt;arnd@arndb.de&gt;.

Pull xfs fixes from Darrick Wong:
 "This fixes multiple problems in the reserve pool sizing functions: an
  incorrect free space calculation, a pointless infinite loop, and even
  more braindamage that could result in the pool being overfilled. The
  pile of patches from Dave fix myriad races and UAF bugs in the log
  recovery code that much to our mutual surprise nobody's tripped over.
  Dave also fixed a performance optimization that had turned into a
  regression.

  Dave Chinner is taking over as XFS maintainer starting Sunday and
  lasting until 5.19-rc1 is tagged so that I can focus on starting a
  massive design review for the (feature complete after five years)
  online repair feature. From then on, he and I will be moving XFS to a
  co-maintainership model by trading duties every other release.

  NOTE: I hope very strongly that the other pieces of the (X)FS
  ecosystem (fstests and xfsprogs) will make similar changes to spread
  their maintenance load.

  Summary:

   - Fix an incorrect free space calculation in xfs_reserve_blocks that
     could lead to a request for free blocks that will never succeed.

   - Fix a hang in xfs_reserve_blocks caused by an infinite loop and the
     incorrect free space calculation.

   - Fix yet a third problem in xfs_reserve_blocks where multiple racing
     threads can overfill the reserve pool.

   - Fix an accounting error that lead to us reporting reserved space as
     "available".

   - Fix a race condition during abnormal fs shutdown that could cause
     UAF problems when memory reclaim and log shutdown try to clean up
     inodes.

   - Fix a bug where log shutdown can race with unmount to tear down the
     log, thereby causing UAF errors.

   - Disentangle log and filesystem shutdown to reduce confusion.

   - Fix some confusion in xfs_trans_commit such that a race between
     transaction commit and filesystem shutdown can cause unlogged dirty
     inode metadata to be committed, thereby corrupting the filesystem.

   - Remove a performance optimization in the log as it was discovered
     that certain storage hardware handle async log flushes so poorly as
     to cause serious performance regressions. Recent restructuring of
     other parts of the logging code mean that no performance benefit is
     seen on hardware that handle it well"

Jan Kara reported a performance regression in dbench that he
bisected down to commit bad77c375e8d ("xfs: CIL checkpoint
flushes caches unconditionally").

Whilst developing the journal flush/fua optimisations this cache was
part of, it appeared to made a significant difference to
performance. However, now that this patchset has settled and all the
correctness issues fixed, there does not appear to be any
significant performance benefit to asynchronous cache flushes.

In fact, the opposite is true on some storage types and workloads,
where additional cache flushes that can occur from fsync heavy
workloads have measurable and significant impact on overall
throughput.

Local dbench testing shows little difference on dbench runs with
sync vs async cache flushes on either fast or slow SSD storage, and
no difference in streaming concurrent async transaction workloads
like fs-mark.

Fast NVME storage.

From `dbench -t 30`, CIL scale:

clients		async			sync

Amean     64     1740.59 (   0.00%)     1686.73 *   3.09%*

Performance and cache flush behaviour is restored to pre-regression
levels.

As such, we can now consider the async cache flush mechanism an
unnecessary exercise in premature optimisation and hence we can
now remove it and the infrastructure it requires completely.

When a checkpoint writeback is run by log recovery, corruption
propagated from the log can result in writeback verifiers failing
and calling xfs_force_shutdown() from
xfs_buf_delwri_submit_buffers().

This results in the mount being marked as shutdown, but the log does
not get marked as shut down because:

        /*
         * If this happens during log recovery then we aren't using the runtime
         * log mechanisms yet so there's nothing to shut down.
         */
        if (!log || xlog_in_recovery(log))
                return false;

If there are other buffers that then fail (say due to detecting the
mount shutdown), they will now hang in xfs_do_force_shutdown()
waiting for the log to shut down like this:

  __schedule+0x30d/0x9e0
  schedule+0x55/0xd0
  xfs_do_force_shutdown+0x1cd/0x200
  ? init_wait_var_entry+0x50/0x50

  __xfs_buf_submit+0xb0/0x240

  xfs_log_mount+0x17e/0x2e0
  xfs_mountfs+0x457/0x930
  xfs_fs_fill_super+0x476/0x830

xlog_force_shutdown() always needs to mark the log as shut down,
regardless of whether recovery is in progress or not, so that
multiple calls to xfs_force_shutdown() during recovery don't end
up waiting for the log to be shut down like this.

If a shut races with xfs_trans_commit() and we have shut down the
filesystem but not the log, we will still cancel the transaction.
This can result in aborting dirty log items instead of committing and
pinning them whilst the log is still running. Hence we can end up
with dirty, unlogged metadata that isn't in the AIL in memory that
can be flushed to disk via writeback clustering.

This was discovered from a g/388 trace where an inode log item was
having IO completed on it and it wasn't in the AIL, hence tripping
asserts xfs_ail_check(). Inode cluster writeback started long after
the filesystem shutdown started, and long after the transaction
containing the dirty inode was aborted and the log item marked
XFS_LI_ABORTED. The inode was seen as dirty and unpinned, so it
was flushed. IO completion tried to remove the inode from the AIL,
at which point stuff went bad:

 XFS (pmem1): Log I/O Error (0x6) detected at xfs_fs_goingdown+0xa3/0xf0 (fs/xfs/xfs_fsops.c:500).  Shutting down filesystem.
 XFS: Assertion failed: in_ail, file: fs/xfs/xfs_trans_ail.c, line: 67
 XFS (pmem1): Please unmount the filesystem and rectify the problem(s)
 Workqueue: xfs-buf/pmem1 xfs_buf_ioend_work

  &lt;/TASK&gt;

xfs_trans_commit() needs to check log state for shutdown, not mount
state. It cannot abort dirty log items while the log is still
running as dirty items must remained pinned in memory until they are
either committed to the journal or the log has shut down and they
can be safely tossed away. Hence if the log has not shut down, the
xfs_trans_commit() path must allow completed transactions to commit
to the CIL and pin the dirty items even if a mount shutdown has
started.

<title>xfs: xfs_do_force_shutdown needs to block racing shutdowns</title>

<id>urn:sha1:41e6362183589afd2cd51d653e277d256daab11f</id>
<content type='text'>
When we call xfs_forced_shutdown(), the caller often expects the
filesystem to be completely shut down when it returns. However,
if we have racing xfs_forced_shutdown() calls, the first caller sets
the mount shutdown flag then goes to shutdown the log. The second
caller sees the mount shutdown flag and returns immediately - it
does not wait for the log to be shut down.

Unfortunately, xfs_forced_shutdown() is used in some places that
expect it to completely shut down the filesystem before it returns
(e.g. xfs_trans_log_inode()). As such, returning before the log has
been shut down leaves us in a place where the transaction failed to
complete correctly but we still call xfs_trans_commit(). This
situation arises because xfs_trans_log_inode() does not return an
error and instead calls xfs_force_shutdown() to ensure that the
transaction being committed is aborted.

Unfortunately, we have a race condition where xfs_trans_commit()
needs to check xlog_is_shutdown() because it can't abort log items
before the log is shut down, but it needs to use xfs_is_shutdown()
because xfs_forced_shutdown() does not block waiting for the log to
shut down.

To fix this conundrum, first we make all calls to
xfs_forced_shutdown() block until the log is also shut down. This
means we can then safely use xfs_forced_shutdown() as a mechanism
that ensures the currently running transaction will be aborted by
xfs_trans_commit() regardless of the shutdown check it uses.

<title>xfs: log shutdown triggers should only shut down the log</title>

We've got a mess on our hands.

1. xfs_trans_commit() cannot cancel transactions because the mount is
shut down - that causes dirty, aborted, unlogged log items to sit
unpinned in memory and potentially get written to disk before the
log is shut down. Hence xfs_trans_commit() can only abort
transactions when xlog_is_shutdown() is true.

2. xfs_force_shutdown() is used in places to cause the current
modification to be aborted via xfs_trans_commit() because it may be
impractical or impossible to cancel the transaction directly, and
hence xfs_trans_commit() must cancel transactions when
xfs_is_shutdown() is true in this situation. But we can't do that
because of #1.

3. Log IO errors cause log shutdowns by calling xfs_force_shutdown()
to shut down the mount and then the log from log IO completion.

4. xfs_force_shutdown() can result in a log force being issued,
which has to wait for log IO completion before it will mark the log
as shut down. If #3 races with some other shutdown trigger that runs
a log force, we rely on xfs_force_shutdown() silently ignoring #3
and avoiding shutting down the log until the failed log force
completes.

5. To ensure #2 always works, we have to ensure that
xfs_force_shutdown() does not return until the the log is shut down.
But in the case of #4, this will result in a deadlock because the
log Io completion will block waiting for a log force to complete
which is blocked waiting for log IO to complete....

So the very first thing we have to do here to untangle this mess is
dissociate log shutdown triggers from mount shutdowns. We already
have xlog_forced_shutdown, which will atomically transistion to the
log a shutdown state. Due to internal asserts it cannot be called
multiple times, but was done simply because the only place that
could call it was xfs_do_force_shutdown() (i.e. the mount shutdown!)
and that could only call it once and once only.  So the first thing
we do is remove the asserts.

We then convert all the internal log shutdown triggers to call
xlog_force_shutdown() directly instead of xfs_force_shutdown(). This
allows the log shutdown triggers to shut down the log without
needing to care about mount based shutdown constraints. This means
we shut down the log independently of the mount and the mount may
not notice this until it's next attempt to read or modify metadata.
At that point (e.g. xfs_trans_commit()) it will see that the log is
shutdown, error out and shutdown the mount.

To ensure that all the unmount behaviours and asserts track
correctly as a result of a log shutdown, propagate the shutdown up
to the mount if it is not already set. This keeps the mount and log
state in sync, and saves a huge amount of hassle where code fails
because of a log shutdown but only checks for mount shutdowns and
hence ends up doing the wrong thing. Cleaning up that mess is
an exercise for another day.

This enables us to address the other problems noted above in
followup patches.

Brian reported a null pointer dereference failure during unmount in
xfs/006. He tracked the problem down to the AIL being torn down
before a log shutdown had completed and removed all the items from
the AIL. The failure occurred in this path while unmount was
proceeding in another task:

 xfs_buf_item_done+0x22/0x30 [xfs]
 xfs_buf_ioend+0x73/0x4d0 [xfs]

 worker_thread+0x30/0x350
 kthread+0xd7/0x100
 ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x30

This is processing an EIO error to a log write, and it's
triggering a force shutdown. This causes the log to be shut down,
and then it is running attached iclog callbacks from the shutdown
context. That means the fs and log has already been marked as
xfs_is_shutdown/xlog_is_shutdown and so high level code will abort
(e.g. xfs_trans_commit(), xfs_log_force(), etc) with an error
because of shutdown.

The umount would have been blocked waiting for a log force
completion inside xfs_log_cover() -&gt; xfs_sync_sb(). The first thing
for this situation to occur is for xfs_sync_sb() to exit without
waiting for the iclog buffer to be comitted to disk. The
above trace is the completion routine for the iclog buffer, and
it is shutting down the filesystem.

xlog_state_shutdown_callbacks() does this:

{
        struct xlog_in_core     *iclog;
        LIST_HEAD(cb_list);

        spin_lock(&amp;log-&gt;l_icloglock);
        iclog = log-&gt;l_iclog;
        do {
                if (atomic_read(&amp;iclog-&gt;ic_refcnt)) {
                        /* Reference holder will re-run iclog callbacks. */
                        continue;
                }
                list_splice_init(&amp;iclog-&gt;ic_callbacks, &amp;cb_list);
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;           wake_up_all(&amp;iclog-&gt;ic_write_wait);
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;           wake_up_all(&amp;iclog-&gt;ic_force_wait);
        } while ((iclog = iclog-&gt;ic_next) != log-&gt;l_iclog);

        wake_up_all(&amp;log-&gt;l_flush_wait);
        spin_unlock(&amp;log-&gt;l_icloglock);

&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;  xlog_cil_process_committed(&amp;cb_list);
}

This wakes any thread waiting on IO completion of the iclog (in this
case the umount log force) before shutdown processes all the pending
callbacks.  That means the xfs_sync_sb() waiting on a sync
transaction in xfs_log_force() on iclog-&gt;ic_force_wait will get
woken before the callbacks attached to that iclog are run. This
results in xfs_sync_sb() returning an error, and so unmount unblocks
and continues to run whilst the log shutdown is still in progress.

Normally this is just fine because the force waiter has nothing to
do with AIL operations. But in the case of this unmount path, the
log force waiter goes on to tear down the AIL because the log is now
shut down and so nothing ever blocks it again from the wait point in
xfs_log_cover().

Hence it's a race to see who gets to the AIL first - the unmount
code or xlog_cil_process_committed() killing the superblock buffer.

To fix this, we just have to change the order of processing in
xlog_state_shutdown_callbacks() to run the callbacks before it wakes
any task waiting on completion of the iclog.

<title>xfs: shutdown in intent recovery has non-intent items in the AIL</title>

generic/388 triggered a failure in RUI recovery due to a corrupted
btree record and the system then locked up hard due to a subsequent
assert failure while holding a spinlock cancelling intents:

 XFS (pmem1): Corruption of in-memory data (0x8) detected at xfs_do_force_shutdown+0x1a/0x20 (fs/xfs/xfs_trans.c:964).  Shutting down filesystem.

Essentially, there's dirty metadata in the AIL from intent recovery
transactions, so when we go to cancel the remaining intents we assume
that all objects after the first non-intent log item in the AIL are
not intents.

This is not true. Intent recovery can log new intents to continue
the operations the original intent could not complete in a single
transaction. The new intents are committed before they are deferred,
which means if the CIL commits in the background they will get
inserted into the AIL at the head.

Hence if we shut down the filesystem while processing intent
recovery, the AIL may have new intents active at the current head.
Hence this check:

                /*
                 * We're done when we see something other than an intent.
                 * There should be no intents left in the AIL now.
                 */
                if (!xlog_item_is_intent(lip)) {
#ifdef DEBUG
                        for (; lip; lip = xfs_trans_ail_cursor_next(ailp, &amp;cur))
                                ASSERT(!xlog_item_is_intent(lip));
#endif
                        break;
                }

in both xlog_recover_process_intents() and
log_recover_cancel_intents() is simply not valid. It was valid back
when we only had EFI/EFD intents and didn't chain intents, but it
hasn't been valid ever since intent recovery could create and commit
new intents.

Given that crashing the mount task like this pretty much prevents
diagnosing what went wrong that lead to the initial failure that
triggered intent cancellation, just remove the checks altogether.
