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.

xfs_ail_push_all_sync() has a loop like this:
while max_ail_lsn {
prepare_to_wait(ail_empty)
target = max_ail_lsn
wake_up(ail_task);
schedule()
}
Which is designed to sleep until the AIL is emptied. When
xfs_ail_update_finish() moves the tail of the log, it does:
if (list_empty(&ailp->ail_head))
wake_up_all(&ailp->ail_empty);
So it will only wake up the sync push waiter when the AIL goes
empty. If, by the time the push waiter has woken, the AIL has more
in it, it will reset the target, wake the push task and go back to
sleep.
The problem here is that if the AIL is having items added to it
when xfs_ail_push_all_sync() is called, then they may get inserted
into the AIL at a LSN higher than the target LSN. At this point,
xfsaild_push() will see that the target is X, the item LSNs are
(X+N) and skip over them, hence never pushing the out.
The result of this the AIL will not get emptied by the AIL push
thread, hence xfs_ail_finish_update() will never see the AIL being
empty even if it moves the tail. Hence xfs_ail_push_all_sync() never
gets woken and hence cannot update the push target to capture the
items beyond the current target on the LSN.
This is a TOCTOU type of issue so the way to avoid it is to not
use the push target at all for sync pushes. We know that a sync push
is being requested by the fact the ail_empty wait queue is active,
hence the xfsaild can just set the target to max_ail_lsn on every
push that we see the wait queue active. Hence we no longer will
leave items on the AIL that are beyond the LSN sampled at the start
of a sync push.

The AIL pushing is stalling on log forces when it comes across
pinned items. This is happening on removal workloads where the AIL
is dominated by stale items that are removed from AIL when the
checkpoint that marks the items stale is committed to the journal.
This results is relatively few items in the AIL, but those that are
are often pinned as directories items are being removed from are
still being logged.
As a result, many push cycles through the CIL will first issue a
blocking log force to unpin the items. This can take some time to
complete, with tracing regularly showing push delays of half a
second and sometimes up into the range of several seconds. Sequences
like this aren't uncommon:

In each of these cases, every AIL pass saw 101 log items stuck on
the AIL (pinned) with very few other items being found. Each pass, a
log force was issued, and delay between last/first is the sleep time
+ the sync log force time.
Some of these 101 items pinned the tail of the log. The tail of the
log does slowly creep forward (first lsn), but the problem is that
the log is actually out of reservation space because it's been
running so many transactions that stale items that never reach the
AIL but consume log space. Hence we have a largely empty AIL, with
long term pins on items that pin the tail of the log that don't get
pushed frequently enough to keep log space available.
The problem is the hundreds of milliseconds that we block in the log
force pushing the CIL out to disk. The AIL should not be stalled
like this - it needs to run and flush items that are at the tail of
the log with minimal latency. What we really need to do is trigger a
log flush, but then not wait for it at all - we've already done our
waiting for stuff to complete when we backed off prior to the log
force being issued.
Even if we remove the XFS_LOG_SYNC from the xfs_log_force() call, we
still do a blocking flush of the CIL and that is what is causing the
issue. Hence we need a new interface for the CIL to trigger an
immediate background push of the CIL to get it moving faster but not
to wait on that to occur. While the CIL is pushing, the AIL can also
be pushing.
We already have an internal interface to do this -
xlog_cil_push_now() - but we need a wrapper for it to be used
externally. xlog_cil_force_seq() can easily be extended to do what
we need as it already implements the synchronous CIL push via
xlog_cil_push_now(). Add the necessary flags and "push current
sequence" semantics to xlog_cil_force_seq() and convert the AIL
pushing to use it.
One of the complexities here is that the CIL push does not guarantee
that the commit record for the CIL checkpoint is written to disk.
The current log force ensures this by submitting the current ACTIVE
iclog that the commit record was written to. We need the CIL to
actually write this commit record to disk for an async push to
ensure that the checkpoint actually makes it to disk and unpins the
pinned items in the checkpoint on completion. Hence we need to pass
down to the CIL push that we are doing an async flush so that it can
switch out the commit_iclog if necessary to get written to disk when
the commit iclog is finally released.

xfsaild is racy with respect to transaction abort and shutdown in
that the task can idle or exit with an empty AIL but buffers still
on the delwri queue. This was partly addressed by cancelling the
delwri queue before the task exits to prevent memory leaks, but it's
also possible for xfsaild to empty and idle with buffers on the
delwri queue. For example, a transaction that pins a buffer that
also happens to sit on the AIL delwri queue will explicitly remove
the associated log item from the AIL if the transaction aborts. The
side effect of this is an unmount hang in xfs_wait_buftarg() as the
associated buffers remain held by the delwri queue indefinitely.
This is reproduced on repeated runs of generic/531 with an fs format
(-mrmapbt=1 -bsize=1k) that happens to also reproduce transaction
aborts.
Update xfsaild to not idle until both the AIL and associated delwri
queue are empty and update the push code to continue delwri queue
submission attempts even when the AIL is empty. This allows the AIL
to eventually release aborted buffers stranded on the delwri queue
when they are unlocked by the associated transaction. This should
have no significant effect on normal runtime behavior because the
xfsaild currently idles only when the AIL is empty and in practice
the AIL is rarely empty with a populated delwri queue. The items
must be AIL resident to land in the queue in the first place and
generally aren't removed until writeback completes.
Note that the pre-existing delwri queue cancel logic in the exit
path is retained because task stop is external, could technically
come at any point, and xfsaild is still responsible to release its
buffer references before it exits.

When we dirty an inode, we are going to have to write it disk at
some point in the near future. This requires the inode cluster
backing buffer to be present in memory. Unfortunately, under severe
memory pressure we can reclaim the inode backing buffer while the
inode is dirty in memory, resulting in stalling the AIL pushing
because it has to do a read-modify-write cycle on the cluster
buffer.
When we have no memory available, the read of the cluster buffer
blocks the AIL pushing process, and this causes all sorts of issues
for memory reclaim as it requires inode writeback to make forwards
progress. Allocating a cluster buffer causes more memory pressure,
and results in more cluster buffers to be reclaimed, resulting in
more RMW cycles to be done in the AIL context and everything then
backs up on AIL progress. Only the synchronous inode cluster
writeback in the the inode reclaim code provides some level of
forwards progress guarantees that prevent OOM-killer rampages in
this situation.
Fix this by pinning the inode backing buffer to the inode log item
when the inode is first dirtied (i.e. in xfs_trans_log_inode()).
This may mean the first modification of an inode that has been held
in cache for a long time may block on a cluster buffer read, but
we can do that in transaction context and block safely until the
buffer has been allocated and read.
Once we have the cluster buffer, the inode log item takes a
reference to it, pinning it in memory, and attaches it to the log
item for future reference. This means we can always grab the cluster
buffer from the inode log item when we need it.
When the inode is finally cleaned and removed from the AIL, we can
drop the reference the inode log item holds on the cluster buffer.
Once all inodes on the cluster buffer are clean, the cluster buffer
will be unpinned and it will be available for memory reclaim to
reclaim again.
This avoids the issues with needing to do RMW cycles in the AIL
pushing context, and hence allows complete non-blocking inode
flushing to be performed by the AIL pushing context.

We currently wake anything waiting on the log tail to move whenever
the log item at the tail of the log is removed. Historically this
was fine behaviour because there were very few items at any given
LSN. But with delayed logging, there may be thousands of items at
any given LSN, and we can't move the tail until they are all gone.
Hence if we are removing them in near tail-first order, we might be
waking up processes waiting on the tail LSN to change (e.g. log
space waiters) repeatedly without them being able to make progress.
This also occurs with the new sync push waiters, and can result in
thousands of spurious wakeups every second when under heavy direct
reclaim pressure.
To fix this, check that the tail LSN has actually changed on the
AIL before triggering wakeups. This will reduce the number of
spurious wakeups when doing bulk AIL removal and make this code much
more efficient.

Leaving PF_MEMALLOC set when exiting a kthread causes it to remain set
during do_exit(). That can confuse things. In particular, if BSD
process accounting is enabled, then do_exit() writes data to an
accounting file. If that file has FS_SYNC_FL set, then this write
occurs synchronously and can misbehave if PF_MEMALLOC is set.
For example, if the accounting file is located on an XFS filesystem,
then a WARN_ON_ONCE() in iomap_do_writepage() is triggered and the data
doesn't get written when it should. Or if the accounting file is
located on an ext4 filesystem without a journal, then a WARN_ON_ONCE()

attempt to log such an item results in a log I/O error, the error
processing can shutdown the fs, remove the item from the AIL, stale
the buffer (dropping the LRU reference) and clear its delwri queue
state. The latter bit means the buffer will be released from a
delwri queue on the next submission attempt, but this might never
occur if the filesystem has shutdown and the AIL is empty.
This means that such buffers are held indefinitely by the AIL delwri
queue across destruction of the AIL. Aside from being a memory leak,
these buffers can also hold references to in-core perag structures.
The latter problem manifests as a generic/475 failure, reproducing
the following asserts at unmount time:
XFS: Assertion failed: atomic_read(&pag->pag_ref) == 0,
file: fs/xfs/xfs_mount.c, line: 151
XFS: Assertion failed: atomic_read(&pag->pag_ref) == 0,
file: fs/xfs/xfs_mount.c, line: 132
To prevent this problem, clear the AIL delwri queue as a final step
before xfsaild() exit. The !empty state should never occur in the
normal case, so add an assert to catch unexpected problems going
forward.

The log item flags contain a field that is protected by the AIL
lock - the XFS_LI_IN_AIL flag. We use non-atomic RMW operations to
set and clear these flags, but most of the updates and checks are
not done with the AIL lock held and so are susceptible to update
races.
Fix this by changing the log item flags to use atomic bitops rather
than be reliant on the AIL lock for update serialisation.

A umount hang is possible when a race occurs between the umount
process and the xfsaild kthread. The following sequences outline
the race:
xfsaild: kthread_should_stop()
=> return false, so xfsaild continue
umount: set_bit(KTHREAD_SHOULD_STOP, &kthread->flags)
=> by kthread_stop()
umount: wake_up_process()
=> because xfsaild is still running, so 0 is returned
xfsaild: __set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE)
xfsaild: schedule()
=> now, xfsaild will wait indefinitely
umount: wait_for_completion()
=> and umount will hang
To fix that, we need to check kthread_should_stop() after we set
the task state, so the xfsaild will either see the stop bit and
exit or the task state is reset to runnable by wake_up_process()
such that it isn't scheduled out indefinitely and detects the stop
bit at the next iteration.

Add an error injection tag to force log items in the AIL to the
pinned state. This option can be used by test infrastructure to
induce head behind tail conditions. Specifically, this is intended
to be used by xfstests to reproduce log recovery problems after
failed/corrupted log writes overwrite the last good tail LSN in the
log.
When enabled, AIL push attempts see log items in the AIL in the
pinned state. This stalls metadata writeback and thus prevents the
current tail of the log from moving forward. When disabled,
subsequent AIL pushes observe the log items in their appropriate
state and filesystem operation continues as normal.

When a buffer has been failed during writeback, the inode items into it
are kept flush locked, and are never resubmitted due the flush lock, so,
if any buffer fails to be written, the items in AIL are never written to
disk and never unlocked.
This causes unmount operation to hang due these items flush locked in AIL,
but this also causes the items in AIL to never be written back, even when
the IO device comes back to normal.
I've been testing this patch with a DM-thin device, creating a
filesystem larger than the real device.
When writing enough data to fill the DM-thin device, XFS receives ENOSPC
errors from the device, and keep spinning on xfsaild (when 'retry
forever' configuration is set).
At this point, the filesystem can not be unmounted because of the flush locked
items in AIL, but worse, the items in AIL are never retried at all
(once xfs_inode_item_push() will skip the items that are flush locked),
even if the underlying DM-thin device is expanded to the proper size.
This patch fixes both cases, retrying any item that has been failed
previously, using the infra-structure provided by the previous patch.

The issue has been there for quite some time but it has been made
visible by only by 24ba16bb3d ("xfs: clear PF_NOFREEZE for xfsaild
kthread") because the suspend started seeing xfsaild.
The above commit has missed that the !xfs_ail_min branch might call
schedule with TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE without calling try_to_freeze so the pm
suspend would wake up the kernel thread over and over again without any
progress. What we want here is to use freezable_schedule instead to hide
the thread from the suspend.
While we are here also change schedule_timeout to freezable variant to
prevent from spurious wakeups by suspend.

This reverts commit 24ba16bb3d as it
prevents machines from suspending. This regression occurs when the
xfsaild is idle on entry to suspend, and so there s no activity to
wake it from it's idle sleep and hence see that it is supposed to
freeze. Hence the freezer times out waiting for it and suspend is
cancelled.
There is no obvious fix for this short of freezing the filesystem
properly, so revert this change for now.

xfs_trans.h has a dependency on xfs_log.h for a couple of

anything about the log, but this dependency means that they have to

files and clean up the includes to be in dependency order.
In doing this, remove the direct include of xfs_trans_reserve.h from

xfs_mount.h. Hence the xfs_trans.h include can be moved to the

xfsaild idle mode logic currently leads to a couple hangs:
1.) If xfsaild is rescheduled in during an incremental scan
(i.e., tout != 0) and the target has been updated since
the previous run, we can hit the new target and go into
idle mode with a still populated ail.
2.) A wake up is only issued when the target is pushed forward.
The wake up can race with xfsaild if it is currently in the
process of entering idle mode, causing future wake up
events to be lost.
These hangs have been reproduced and verified as fixed by
running xfstests 273 in a loop on a slightly modified upstream
kernel. The kernel is modified to re-enable idle mode as
previously implemented (when count == 0) and with a revert of
commit 670ce93f, which includes performance improvements that
make this harder to reproduce.
The solution, the algorithm for which has been outlined by
Dave Chinner, is to modify xfsaild to enter idle mode only when
the ail is empty and the push target has not been moved forward
since the last push.
