On an old kernel version(4.19, ext3, data=journal, pagesize=64k),
an assertion failure will occasionally be triggered by the line below:
-----------
jbd2_journal_commit_transaction
{
...
J_ASSERT_BH(bh, !buffer_dirty(bh));
/*
* The buffer on BJ_Forget list and not jbddirty means
...
}
-----------
The same condition may also be applied to the lattest kernel version.
When blocksize < pagesize and we truncate a file, there can be buffers in
the mapping tail page beyond i_size. These buffers will be filed to
transaction's BJ_Forget list by ext4_journalled_invalidatepage() during
truncation. When the transaction doing truncate starts committing, we can
grow the file again. This calls __block_write_begin() which allocates new
blocks under these buffers in the tail page we go through the branch:
if (buffer_new(bh)) {
clean_bdev_bh_alias(bh);
if (folio_test_uptodate(folio)) {
clear_buffer_new(bh);
set_buffer_uptodate(bh);
mark_buffer_dirty(bh);
continue;
}
...
}
Hence buffers on BJ_Forget list of the committing transaction get marked
dirty and this triggers the jbd2 assertion.
Teach ext4_block_write_begin() to properly handle files with data
journalling by avoiding dirtying them directly. Instead of
folio_zero_new_buffers() we use ext4_journalled_zero_new_buffers() which
takes care of handling journalling. We also don't need to mark new uptodate
buffers as dirty in ext4_block_write_begin(). That will be either done
either by block_commit_write() in case of success or by
folio_zero_new_buffers() in case of failure.

Using __block_write_begin() make it inconvenient to journal the
user data dirty process. We can't tell the block layer maintainer,
‘Hey, we want to trace the dirty user data in ext4, can we add some
special code for ext4 in __block_write_begin?’:P
So use ext4_block_write_begin() instead.
The two functions are basically doing the same thing except for the
fscrypt related code. Remove the unnecessary #ifdef since
fscrypt_inode_uses_fs_layer_crypto() returns false (and it's known at
compile time) when !CONFIG_FS_ENCRYPTION.
And hoist the ext4_block_write_begin so that it can be used in other

Currently, we release delayed allocation reservation when removing
delayed extent from extent status tree (which also happens when
overwriting one extent with another one). When we allocated unwritten
extent under some delayed allocated extent, we don't need the
reservation anymore and hence we don't need to preserve the
EXT4_MAP_DELAYED status bit. Allocating the new extent blocks will
properly release the reservation.

When doing block allocation, magic EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_DELALLOC_RESERVE
means the allocating range covers a range of delayed allocated clusters,
the blocks and quotas have already been reserved in ext4_da_map_blocks(),
we should update the reserved space and don't need to claim them again.
At the moment, we only set this magic in mpage_map_one_extent() when
allocating a range of delayed allocated clusters in the write back path,
it makes things complicated since we have to notice and deal with the
case of allocating non-delayed allocated clusters separately in
ext4_ext_map_blocks(). For example, it we fallocate some blocks that
have been delayed allocated, free space would be claimed again in
ext4_mb_new_blocks() (this is wrong exactily), and we can't claim quota
space again, we have to release the quota reservations made for that
previously delayed allocated clusters.
Move the position thats set the EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_DELALLOC_RESERVE to
where we actually do block allocation, it could simplify above handling
a lot, it means that we always set this magic once the allocation range
covers delalloc blocks, no need to take care of the allocation path.

In ext4_da_map_blocks(), we could find four kind of extents in the
extent status tree: hole, unwritten, written and delayed extent. Now we
only trim the map len if we found an unwritten extent or a written
extent. This is okay now since map->m_len is always set to one and we
always insert one delayed block at a time. But this will become isn't
okay for other two cases if ext4_insert_delayed_block() and
ext4_da_map_blocks() support inserting multiple map->len blocks later.
1. If we found a hole in the extent status tree which es->es_len is
shorter than the length we want to write, we should trim the
map->m_len to prevent adding extra delay more blocks than we
expected. For example, assume we write data [A, C) to a file that
contains a hole extent [A, B) and a written extent [B, D) in the
cache.
A B C D
before da write: ...hhhhhh|wwwwww....
Then we will get extent [A, B), we should trim map->m_len to B-A
before inserting new delalloc blocks, if not, the range [B, C) will
be duplicated.
2. If we found a delayed extent in the extent status tree which
es->es_len is shorter than the length we want to write, we should
trim the map->m_len to es->es_len and return directly since the front
part of this map has been delayed, we can't insert the delalloc
extent that contains the latter part in this round, we should return
the delayed length and the caller should increase the position and
call ext4_da_map_blocks() again. For example, assume we write data
[A, C) to a file that contains a delayed extent [A, B) in the cache.
A B C
before da write: ...dddddd|hhh....
Then we will get delayed extent [A, B), we should also trim map->m_len
to B-A and return, if not, we will incorrectly assume that the write
is complete and won't insert [B, C).
So we need to always trim the map->m_len if the found es->es_len in the
extent status tree is shorter than the map->m_len, prearing for
inserting a extent with multiple delalloc blocks. This patch only does a
pre-fix, the handle is crude and ext4_da_map_blocks() deserve a cleanup,
we will do that later.

ext4_da_map_blocks looks up for any extent entry in the extent status
tree (w/o i_data_sem) and then the looks up for any ondisk extent
mapping (with i_data_sem in read mode).
If it finds a hole in the extent status tree or if it couldn't find any
entry at all, it then takes the i_data_sem in write mode to add a da
entry into the extent status tree. This can actually race with page
mkwrite & fallocate path.
Note that this is ok between
1. ext4 buffered-write path v/s ext4_page_mkwrite(), because of the
folio lock
2. ext4 buffered write path v/s ext4 fallocate because of the inode
lock.
But this can race between ext4_page_mkwrite() & ext4 fallocate path
ext4_page_mkwrite() ext4_fallocate()
block_page_mkwrite()
ext4_da_map_blocks()
//find hole in extent status tree
ext4_alloc_file_blocks()
ext4_map_blocks()
//allocate block and unwritten extent
ext4_insert_delayed_block()
ext4_da_reserve_space()
//reserve one more block
ext4_es_insert_delayed_block()
//drop unwritten extent and add delayed extent by mistake
Then, the delalloc extent is wrong until writeback and the extra
reserved block can't be released any more and it triggers below warning:
EXT4-fs (pmem2): Inode 13 (00000000bbbd4d23): i_reserved_data_blocks(1) not cleared!
Fix the problem by looking up extent status tree again while the
i_data_sem is held in write mode. If it still can't find any entry, then
we insert a new da entry into the extent status tree.

Suppose we buffered read a file containing just a hole, and without any

The "needed" controls the number of ext4_prealloc_space to discard in
ext4_discard_preallocations. Function ext4_discard_preallocations is
supposed to discard all non-used preallocated blocks when "needed"
is 0 and now ext4_discard_preallocations is always called with "needed"
= 0. Remove unnecessary parameter "needed" and remove all non-used
preallocated spaces in ext4_discard_preallocations to simplify the
code.
Note: If count of non-used preallocated spaces could be more than
UINT_MAX, there was a memory leak as some non-used preallocated
spaces are left ununsed and this commit will fix it. Otherwise,
there is no behavior change.

There's nothing page-specific happening in ext4_da_do_write_end();
it's merely used for its refcount & lock, both of which are folio
properties. Saves four calls to compound_head().

As an optimization, I was trying to work on exiting early from this
function if dealing with unwritten extent since they anyways read 0.
However, it was realised that there are certain code paths that can
end up calling ext4_block_zero_page_range() for an unwritten bh that
might still have data in pagecache. In this case, we can't exit early
and we do require to process the bh and zero out the pagecache to ensure
that a writeback can't kick in at a later time and flush the stale
pagecache to disk.
Since, adding the logic to exit early for unwritten bh was turning out
to be much more nuanced and the current code already handles it well,
just add a comment to explicitly document this behavior.

It is hard to find where mapping->private_lock, mapping->private_list and
mapping->private_data are used, due to private_XXX being a relatively
common name for variables and structure members in the kernel. To fit
with other members of struct address_space, rename them all to have an

** Short Version **
In ext4 with dioread_nolock, we could have a scenario where the bh returned by
get_blocks (ext4_get_block_unwritten()) in __block_write_begin_int() has
UNWRITTEN and MAPPED flag set. Since such a bh does not have NEW flag set we
never zero out the range of bh that is not under write, causing whatever stale
data is present in the folio at that time to be written out to disk. To fix this
mark the buffer as new, in case it is unwritten, in ext4_get_block_unwritten().
** Long Version **
The issue mentioned above was resulting in two different bugs:
1. On block size < page size case in ext4, generic/269 was reliably
failing with dioread_nolock. The state of the write was as follows:
* The write was extending i_size.
* The last block of the file was fallocated and had an unwritten extent
* We were near ENOSPC and hence we were switching to non-delayed alloc
allocation.
In this case, the back trace that triggers the bug is as follows:
ext4_da_write_begin()
/* switch to nodelalloc due to low space */
ext4_write_begin()
ext4_should_dioread_nolock() // true since mount flags still have delalloc
__block_write_begin(..., ext4_get_block_unwritten)
__block_write_begin_int()
for(each buffer head in page) {
/* first iteration, this is bh1 which contains i_size */
if (!buffer_mapped)
get_block() /* returns bh with only UNWRITTEN and MAPPED */
/* second iteration, bh2 */
if (!buffer_mapped)
get_block() /* we fail here, could be ENOSPC */
}
if (err)
/*
* this would zero out all new buffers and mark them uptodate.
* Since bh1 was never marked new, we skip it here which causes
* the bug later.
*/
folio_zero_new_buffers();
/* ext4_wrte_begin() error handling */
ext4_truncate_failed_write()
ext4_truncate()
ext4_block_truncate_page()
__ext4_block_zero_page_range()
if(!buffer_uptodate())
ext4_read_bh_lock()
ext4_read_bh() -> ... ext4_submit_bh_wbc()
BUG_ON(buffer_unwritten(bh)); /* !!! */
2. The second issue is stale data exposure with page size >= blocksize
with dioread_nolock. The conditions needed for it to happen are same as
the previous issue ie dioread_nolock around ENOSPC condition. The issue
is also similar where in __block_write_begin_int() when we call
ext4_get_block_unwritten() on the buffer_head and the underlying extent
is unwritten, we get an unwritten and mapped buffer head. Since it is
not new, we never zero out the partial range which is not under write,
thus writing stale data to disk. This can be easily observed with the
following reproducer:
fallocate -l 4k testfile
xfs_io -c "pwrite 2k 2k" testfile
# hexdump output will have stale data in from byte 0 to 2k in testfile
hexdump -C testfile
NOTE: To trigger this, we need dioread_nolock enabled and write happening via
ext4_write_begin(), which is usually used when we have -o nodealloc. Since
dioread_nolock is disabled with nodelalloc, the only alternate way to call
ext4_write_begin() is to ensure that delayed alloc switches to nodelalloc ie
ext4_da_write_begin() calls ext4_write_begin(). This will usually happen when
ext4 is almost full like the way generic/269 was triggering it in Issue 1 above.
This might make the issue harder to hit. Hence, for reliable replication, I used
the below patch to temporarily allow dioread_nolock with nodelalloc and then
mount the disk with -o nodealloc,dioread_nolock. With this you can hit the stale
data issue 100% of times:
@@ -508,8 +508,8 @@ static inline int ext4_should_dioread_nolock(struct inode *inode)
if (ext4_should_journal_data(inode))
return 0;
/* temporary fix to prevent generic/422 test failures */
- if (!test_opt(inode->i_sb, DELALLOC))
- return 0;
+ // if (!test_opt(inode->i_sb, DELALLOC))
+ // return 0;
return 1;
}
After applying this patch to mark buffer as NEW, both the above issues are
fixed.
