Pass the CIL context to xlog_write() rather than a pointer to a LSN
variable. Only the CIL checkpoint calls to xlog_write() need to know
about the start LSN of the writes, so rework xlog_write to directly
write the LSNs into the CIL context structure.
This removes the commit_lsn variable from xlog_cil_push_work(), so
now we only have to issue the commit record ordering wakeup from

sense. Secondly, xfs_log_reserve() can race with shutdown and so it

When the log is shutdown, it currently walks all the iclogs and runs
callbacks that are attached to the iclogs, regardless of whether the
iclog is queued for IO completion or not. This creates a problem for
contexts attaching callbacks to iclogs in that a racing shutdown can
run the callbacks even before the attaching context has finished
processing the iclog and releasing it for IO submission.
If the callback processing of the iclog frees the structure that is
attached to the iclog, then this leads to an UAF scenario that can
only be protected against by holding the icloglock from the point
callbacks are attached through to the release of the iclog. While we
currently do this, it is not practical or sustainable.
Hence we need to make shutdown processing the responsibility of the
context that holds active references to the iclog. We know that the
contexts attaching callbacks to the iclog must have active
references to the iclog, and that means they must be in either
ACTIVE or WANT_SYNC states. xlog_state_do_callback() will skip over
iclogs in these states -except- when the log is shut down.
xlog_state_do_callback() checks the state of the iclogs while
holding the icloglock, therefore the reference count/state change
that occurs in xlog_state_release_iclog() after the callbacks are
atomic w.r.t. shutdown processing.
We can't push the responsibility of callback cleanup onto the CIL
context because we can have ACTIVE iclogs that have callbacks
attached that have already been released. Hence we really need to
internalise the cleanup of callbacks into xlog_state_release_iclog()
processing.
Indeed, we already have that internalisation via:
xlog_state_release_iclog
drop last reference
->SYNCING
xlog_sync
xlog_write_iclog
if (log_is_shutdown)
xlog_state_done_syncing()
xlog_state_do_callback()
<process shutdown on iclog that is now in SYNCING state>
The problem is that xlog_state_release_iclog() aborts before doing
anything if the log is already shut down. It assumes that the
callbacks have already been cleaned up, and it doesn't need to do
any cleanup.
Hence the fix is to remove the xlog_is_shutdown() check from
xlog_state_release_iclog() so that reference counts are correctly
released from the iclogs, and when the reference count is zero we
always transition to SYNCING if the log is shut down. Hence we'll
always enter the xlog_sync() path in a shutdown and eventually end
up erroring out the iclog IO and running xlog_state_do_callback() to
process the callbacks attached to the iclog.
This allows us to stop processing referenced ACTIVE/WANT_SYNC iclogs
directly in the shutdown code, and in doing so gets rid of the UAF
vector that currently exists. This then decouples the adding of
callbacks to the iclogs from xlog_state_release_iclog() as we
guarantee that xlog_state_release_iclog() will process the callbacks
if the log has been shut down before xlog_state_release_iclog() has
been called.

The iclog callback processing done during a forced log shutdown has
different logic to normal runtime IO completion callback processing.
Separate out the shutdown callbacks into their own function and call
that from the shutdown code instead.
We don't need this shutdown specific logic in the normal runtime
completion code - we'll always run the shutdown version on shutdown,
and it will do what shutdown needs regardless of whether there are
racing IO completion callbacks scheduled or in progress. Hence we
can also simplify the normal IO completion callpath and only abort
if shutdown occurred while we actively were processing callbacks.
Further, separating out the IO completion logic from the shutdown
logic avoids callback race conditions from being triggered by log IO
completion after a shutdown. IO completion will now only run
callbacks on iclogs that are in the correct state for a callback to
be run, avoiding the possibility of running callbacks on a
referenced iclog that hasn't yet been submitted for IO.

The running of a forced shutdown is a bit of a mess. It does racy
checks for XFS_MOUNT_SHUTDOWN in xfs_do_force_shutdown(), then
does more racy checks in xfs_log_force_unmount() before finally
setting XFS_MOUNT_SHUTDOWN and XLOG_IO_ERROR under the
log->icloglock.
Move the checking and setting of XFS_MOUNT_SHUTDOWN into
xfs_do_force_shutdown() so we only process a shutdown once and once
only. Serialise this with the mp->m_sb_lock spinlock so that the
state change is atomic and won't race. Move all the mount specific
shutdown state changes from xfs_log_force_unmount() to
xfs_do_force_shutdown() so they are done atomically with setting
XFS_MOUNT_SHUTDOWN.
Then get rid of the racy xlog_is_shutdown() check from
xlog_force_shutdown(), and gate the log shutdown on the
test_and_set_bit(XLOG_IO_ERROR) test under the icloglock. This
means that the log is shutdown once and once only, and code that
needs to prevent races with shutdown can do so by holding the
icloglock and checking the return value of xlog_is_shutdown().
This results in a predictable shutdown execution process - we set the
shutdown flags once and process the shutdown once rather than the
current "as many concurrent shutdowns as can race to the flag
setting" situation we have now.
Also, now that shutdown is atomic, alway emit a stack trace when the
error level for the filesystem is high enough. This means that we
always get a stack trace when trying to diagnose the cause of
shutdowns in the field, rather than just for SHUTDOWN_CORRUPT_INCORE

Since it's possible that some other higher level thread is about to

Now that we defer inode inactivation, we've decoupled the process of
unlinking or closing an inode from the process of inactivating it. In
theory this should lead to better throughput since we now inactivate the
queued inodes in batches instead of one at a time.
Unfortunately, one of the primary risks with this decoupling is the loss
of rate control feedback between the frontend and background threads.
In other words, a rm -rf /* thread can run the system out of memory if
it can queue inodes for inactivation and jump to a new CPU faster than
the background threads can actually clear the deferred work. The
workers can get scheduled off the CPU if they have to do IO, etc.
To solve this problem, we configure a shrinker so that it will activate
the /second/ time the shrinkers are called. The custom shrinker will
queue all percpu deferred inactivation workers immediately and set a
flag to force frontend callers who are releasing a vfs inode to wait for
the inactivation workers.

On a mostly empty filesystem, the risk of the allocator making poor

However, if free space is tight, we want to deallocate unlinked inodes
as quickly as possible to avoid fallocate ENOSPC and to give the
allocator the best shot at optimal allocations for new writes.
Therefore, queue the percpu worker immediately if the filesystem is more

Move inode inactivation to background work contexts so that it no
longer runs in the context that releases the final reference to an
inode. This will allow process work that ends up blocking on
inactivation to continue doing work while the filesytem processes
the inactivation in the background.
A typical demonstration of this is unlinking an inode with lots of
extents. The extents are removed during inactivation, so this blocks
the process that unlinked the inode from the directory structure. By
moving the inactivation to the background process, the userspace
applicaiton can keep working (e.g. unlinking the next inode in the
directory) while the inactivation work on the previous inode is
done by a different CPU.
The implementation of the queue is relatively simple. We use a
per-cpu lockless linked list (llist) to queue inodes for
inactivation without requiring serialisation mechanisms, and a work
item to allow the queue to be processed by a CPU bound worker
thread. We also keep a count of the queue depth so that we can
trigger work after a number of deferred inactivations have been
queued.
The use of a bound workqueue with a single work depth allows the
workqueue to run one work item per CPU. We queue the work item on
the CPU we are currently running on, and so this essentially gives
us affine per-cpu worker threads for the per-cpu queues. THis
maintains the effective CPU affinity that occurs within XFS at the
AG level due to all objects in a directory being local to an AG.
Hence inactivation work tends to run on the same CPU that last
accessed all the objects that inactivation accesses and this
maintains hot CPU caches for unlink workloads.
A depth of 32 inodes was chosen to match the number of inodes in an
inode cluster buffer. This hopefully allows sequential
allocation/unlink behaviours to defering inactivation of all the
inodes in a single cluster buffer at a time, further helping
maintain hot CPU and buffer cache accesses while running
inactivations.
A hard per-cpu queue throttle of 256 inode has been set to avoid
runaway queuing when inodes that take a long to time inactivate are
being processed. For example, when unlinking inodes with large
numbers of extents that can take a lot of processing to free.

If we don't need to inactivate an inode, we can detach the dquots and
move on to reclamation. This isn't strictly required here; it's a
preparation patch for deferred inactivation per reviewer request[1] to
move the creation of xfs_inode_needs_inactivation into a separate
change. Eventually this !need_inactive chunk will turn into the code
path for inodes that skip xfs_inactive and go straight to memory
reclaim.

The inode inactivation and CIL tracking percpu structures are
per-xfs_mount structures. That means when we get a CPU dead
notification, we need to then iterate all the per-cpu structure
instances to process them. Rather than keeping linked lists of
per-cpu structures in each subsystem, add a list of all xfs_mounts
that the generic xfs_cpu_dead() function will iterate and call into
each subsystem appropriately.
This allows us to handle both per-mount and global XFS percpu state
from xfs_cpu_dead(), and avoids the need to link subsystem
structures that can be easily found from the xfs_mount into their
own global lists.

While reviewing the buffer item recovery code, the thought occurred to
me: in V5 filesystems we use log sequence number (LSN) tracking to avoid
replaying older metadata updates against newer log items. However, we
use the magic number of the ondisk buffer to find the LSN of the ondisk
metadata, which means that if an attacker can control the layout of the
realtime device precisely enough that the start of an rt bitmap block
matches the magic and UUID of some other kind of block, they can control
the purported LSN of that spoofed block and thereby break log replay.
Since realtime bitmap and summary blocks don't have headers at all, we
have no way to tell if a block really should be replayed. The best we
can do is replay unconditionally and hope for the best.

From the department of "generic/482 keeps on giving", we bring you
another tail update race condition:
iclog:
S1 C1
+-----------------------+-----------------------+
S2 EOIC
Two checkpoints in a single iclog. One is complete, the other just
contains the start record and overruns into a new iclog.
Timeline:
Before S1: Cache flush, log tail = X
At S1: Metadata stable, write start record and checkpoint
At C1: Write commit record, set NEED_FUA
Single iclog checkpoint, so no need for NEED_FLUSH
Log tail still = X, so no need for NEED_FLUSH
After C1,
Before S2: Cache flush, log tail = X
At S2: Metadata stable, write start record and checkpoint
After S2: Log tail moves to X+1
At EOIC: End of iclog, more journal data to write
Releases iclog
Not a commit iclog, so no need for NEED_FLUSH
Writes log tail X+1 into iclog.
At this point, the iclog has tail X+1 and NEED_FUA set. There has
been no cache flush for the metadata between X and X+1, and the
iclog writes the new tail permanently to the log. THis is sufficient
to violate on disk metadata/journal ordering.
We have two options here. The first is to detect this case in some
manner and ensure that the partial checkpoint write sets NEED_FLUSH
when the iclog is already marked NEED_FUA and the log tail changes.
This seems somewhat fragile and quite complex to get right, and it
doesn't actually make it obvious what underlying problem it is
actually addressing from reading the code.
The second option seems much cleaner to me, because it is derived
directly from the requirements of the C1 commit record in the iclog.
That is, when we write this commit record to the iclog, we've
guaranteed that the metadata/data ordering is correct for tail
update purposes. Hence if we only write the log tail into the iclog
for the *first* commit record rather than the log tail at the last
release, we guarantee that the log tail does not move past where the
the first commit record in the log expects it to be.
IOWs, taking the first option means that replay of C1 becomes
dependent on future operations doing the right thing, not just the
C1 checkpoint itself doing the right thing. This makes log recovery
almost impossible to reason about because now we have to take into
account what might or might not have happened in the future when
looking at checkpoints in the log rather than just having to
reconstruct the past...

From the department of "WTAF? How did we miss that!?"...
When we are recovering a buffer, the first thing we do is check the
buffer magic number and extract the LSN from the buffer. If the LSN
is older than the current LSN, we replay the modification to it. If
the metadata on disk is newer than the transaction in the log, we
skip it. This is a fundamental v5 filesystem metadata recovery
behaviour.
generic/482 failed with an attribute writeback failure during log
recovery. The write verifier caught the corruption before it got
written to disk, and the attr buffer dump looked like:
XFS (dm-3): Metadata corruption detected at xfs_attr3_leaf_verify+0x275/0x2e0, xfs_attr3_leaf block 0x19be8

The highlighted bytes are the LSN that was replayed into the
buffer: 0x100000538. This is cycle 1, block 0x538. Prior to replay,
that block on disk looks like this:
$ sudo xfs_db -c "fsb 0x417d" -c "type attr3" -c p /dev/mapper/thin-vol
hdr.info.hdr.forw = 0
hdr.info.hdr.back = 0
hdr.info.hdr.magic = 0x3bee
hdr.info.crc = 0xb5af0bc6 (correct)
hdr.info.bno = 105448
hdr.info.lsn = 0x100000900
^^^^^^^^^^^
hdr.info.uuid = df395e51-58ac-44b6-8dc5-e7104409bc17
hdr.info.owner = 131203
hdr.count = 2
hdr.usedbytes = 120
hdr.firstused = 3796
hdr.holes = 1
hdr.freemap[0-2] = [base,size]
Note the LSN stamped into the buffer on disk: 1/0x900. The version
on disk is much newer than the log transaction that was being
replayed. That's a bug, and should -never- happen.
So I immediately went to look at xlog_recover_get_buf_lsn() to check
that we handled the LSN correctly. I was wondering if there was a
similar "two commits with the same start LSN skips the second
replay" problem with buffers. I didn't get that far, because I found
a much more basic, rudimentary bug: xlog_recover_get_buf_lsn()
doesn't recognise buffers with XFS_ATTR3_LEAF_MAGIC set in them!!!
IOWs, attr3 leaf buffers fall through the magic number checks
unrecognised, so trigger the "recover immediately" behaviour instead
of undergoing an LSN check. IOWs, we incorrectly replay ATTR3 leaf
buffers and that causes silent on disk corruption of inode attribute
forks and potentially other things....
Git history shows this is *another* zero day bug, this time
introduced in commit 50d5c8d8e9 ("xfs: check LSN ordering for v5
superblocks during recovery") which failed to handle the attr3 leaf
buffers in recovery. And we've failed to handle them ever since...

When we log an inode, we format the "log inode" core and set an LSN
in that inode core. We do that via xfs_inode_item_format_core(),
which calls:
xfs_inode_to_log_dinode(ip, dic, ip->i_itemp->ili_item.li_lsn);
to format the log inode. It writes the LSN from the inode item into
the log inode, and if recovery decides the inode item needs to be
replayed, it recovers the log inode LSN field and writes it into the
on disk inode LSN field.
Now this might seem like a reasonable thing to do, but it is wrong
on multiple levels. Firstly, if the item is not yet in the AIL,
item->li_lsn is zero. i.e. the first time the inode it is logged and
formatted, the LSN we write into the log inode will be zero. If we
only log it once, recovery will run and can write this zero LSN into
the inode.
This means that the next time the inode is logged and log recovery
runs, it will *always* replay changes to the inode regardless of
whether the inode is newer on disk than the version in the log and
that violates the entire purpose of recording the LSN in the inode
at writeback time (i.e. to stop it going backwards in time on disk
during recovery).
Secondly, if we commit the CIL to the journal so the inode item
moves to the AIL, and then relog the inode, the LSN that gets
stamped into the log inode will be the LSN of the inode's current
location in the AIL, not it's age on disk. And it's not the LSN that
will be associated with the current change. That means when log
recovery replays this inode item, the LSN that ends up on disk is
the LSN for the previous changes in the log, not the current
changes being replayed. IOWs, after recovery the LSN on disk is not
in sync with the LSN of the modifications that were replayed into
the inode. This, again, violates the recovery ordering semantics
that on-disk writeback LSNs provide.
Hence the inode LSN in the log dinode is -always- invalid.
Thirdly, recovery actually has the LSN of the log transaction it is
replaying right at hand - it uses it to determine if it should
replay the inode by comparing it to the on-disk inode's LSN. But it
doesn't use that LSN to stamp the LSN into the inode which will be
written back when the transaction is fully replayed. It uses the one
in the log dinode, which we know is always going to be incorrect.
Looking back at the change history, the inode logging was broken by
commit 93f958f9c4 ("xfs: cull unnecessary icdinode fields") way
back in 2016 by a stupid idiot who thought he knew how this code
worked. i.e. me. That commit replaced an in memory di_lsn field that
was updated only at inode writeback time from the inode item.li_lsn
value - and hence always contained the same LSN that appeared in the
on-disk inode - with a read of the inode item LSN at inode format
time. CLearly these are not the same thing.
Before 93f958f9c4, the log recovery behaviour was irrelevant,
because the LSN in the log inode always matched the on-disk LSN at
the time the inode was logged, hence recovery of the transaction
would never make the on-disk LSN in the inode go backwards or get
out of sync.
A symptom of the problem is this, caught from a failure of
generic/482. Before log recovery, the inode has been allocated but
never used:
xfs_db> inode 393388
xfs_db> p
core.magic = 0x494e
core.mode = 0
....
v3.crc = 0x99126961 (correct)
v3.change_count = 0
v3.lsn = 0
v3.flags2 = 0
v3.cowextsize = 0
v3.crtime.sec = Thu Jan 1 10:00:00 1970
v3.crtime.nsec = 0
After log recovery:
xfs_db> p
core.magic = 0x494e
core.mode = 020444
....
v3.crc = 0x23e68f23 (correct)
v3.change_count = 2
v3.lsn = 0
v3.flags2 = 0
v3.cowextsize = 0
v3.crtime.sec = Thu Jul 22 17:03:03 2021
v3.crtime.nsec = 751000000
...
You can see that the LSN of the on-disk inode is 0, even though it
clearly has been written to disk. I point out this inode, because
the generic/482 failure occurred because several adjacent inodes in
this specific inode cluster were not replayed correctly and still
appeared to be zero on disk when all the other metadata (inobt,
finobt, directories, etc) indicated they should be allocated and
written back.
The fix for this is two-fold. The first is that we need to either
revert the LSN changes in 93f958f9c4 or stop logging the inode LSN
altogether. If we do the former, log recovery does not need to
change but we add 8 bytes of memory per inode to store what is
largely a write-only inode field. If we do the latter, log recovery
needs to stamp the on-disk inode in the same manner that inode
writeback does.
I prefer the latter, because we shouldn't really be trying to log
and replay changes to the on disk LSN as the on-disk value is the
canonical source of the on-disk version of the inode. It also
matches the way we recover buffer items - we create a buf_log_item
that carries the current recovery transaction LSN that gets stamped
into the buffer by the write verifier when it gets written back
when the transaction is fully recovered.
However, this might break log recovery on older kernels even more,
so I'm going to simply ignore the logged value in recovery and stamp
the on-disk inode with the LSN of the transaction being recovered
that will trigger writeback on transaction recovery completion. This
will ensure that the on-disk inode LSN always reflects the LSN of
the last change that was written to disk, regardless of whether it
comes from log recovery or runtime writeback.

Before waiting on a iclog in xfs_log_force_lsn(), we don't check to
see if the iclog has already been completed and the contents on
stable storage. We check for completed iclogs in xfs_log_force(), so
we should do the same thing for xfs_log_force_lsn().
This fixed some random up-to-30s pauses seen in unmounting
filesystems in some tests. A log force ends up waiting on completed
iclog, and that doesn't then get flushed (and hence the log force
get completed) until the background log worker issues a log force
that flushes the iclog in question. Then the unmount unblocks and

After fixing the tail_lsn vs cache flush race, generic/482 continued
to fail in a similar way where cache flushes were missing before
iclog FUA writes. Tracing of iclog state changes during the fsstress
workload portion of the test (via xlog_iclog* events) indicated that
iclog writes were coming from two sources - CIL pushes and log
forces (due to fsync/O_SYNC operations). All of the cases where a
recovery problem was triggered indicated that the log force was the
source of the iclog write that was not preceeded by a cache flush.
This was an oversight in the modifications made in commit
eef983ffea ("xfs: journal IO cache flush reductions"). Log forces
for fsync imply a data device cache flush has been issued if an
iclog was flushed to disk and is indicated to the caller via the
log_flushed parameter so they can elide the device cache flush if
the journal issued one.
The change in eef983ffea results in iclogs only issuing a cache
flush if XLOG_ICL_NEED_FLUSH is set on the iclog, but this was not
added to the iclogs that the log force code flushes to disk. Hence
log forces are no longer guaranteeing that a cache flush is issued,
hence opening up a potential on-disk ordering failure.
Log forces should also set XLOG_ICL_NEED_FUA as well to ensure that
the actual iclogs it forces to the journal are also on stable
storage before it returns to the caller.
This patch introduces the xlog_force_iclog() helper function to
encapsulate the process of taking a reference to an iclog, switching
its state if WANT_SYNC and flushing it to stable storage correctly.
Both xfs_log_force() and xfs_log_force_lsn() are converted to use
it, as is xlog_unmount_write() which has an elaborate method of
doing exactly the same "write this iclog to stable storage"
operation.
Further, if the log force code needs to wait on a iclog in the
WANT_SYNC state, it needs to ensure that iclog also results in a
cache flush being issued. This covers the case where the iclog
contains the commit record of the CIL flush that the log force
triggered, but it hasn't been written yet because there is still an
active reference to the iclog.
Note: this whole cache flush whack-a-mole patch is a result of log
forces still being iclog state centric rather than being CIL
sequence centric. Most of this nasty code will go away in future
when log forces are converted to wait on CIL sequence push
completion rather than iclog completion. With the CIL push algorithm
guaranteeing that the CIL checkpoint is fully on stable storage when
it completes, we no longer need to iterate iclogs and push them to
ensure a CIL sequence push has completed and so all this nasty iclog
iteration and flushing code will go away.
