Now that we have EXT4_EX_QUERY_FILTER mask, let's use that to simplify
the filtering of flags for passing to ext4_ext_map_blocks() in
ext4_map_query_blocks() function. This allows us to kill the query_flags
local variable which is not needed anymore.

Rename EXT4_EX_FILTER to EXT4_EX_QUERY_FILTER to better describe its
purpose as a filter mask used specifically in ext4_map_query_blocks().
Add a comment explaining that this macro is used to filter flags needed
when querying the on-disk extent tree.
We will later use EXT4_EX_QUERY_FILTER mask to add another
EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_QUERY needed to lookup in on-disk extent tree.

EXT4 supports bigalloc feature which allows the FS to work in size of
clusters (group of blocks) rather than individual blocks. This patch
adds atomic write support for bigalloc so that systems with bs = ps can
also create FS using -
mkfs.ext4 -F -O bigalloc -b 4096 -C 16384 <dev>
With bigalloc ext4 can support multi-fsblock atomic writes. We will have to
adjust ext4's atomic write unit max value to cluster size. This can then support
atomic write of size anywhere between [blocksize, clustersize]. This
patch adds the required changes to enable multi-fsblock atomic write
support using bigalloc in the next patch.
In this patch for block allocation:
we first query the underlying region of the requested range by calling
ext4_map_blocks() call. Here are the various cases which we then handle
depending upon the underlying mapping type:
1. If the underlying region for the entire requested range is a mapped extent,
then we don't call ext4_map_blocks() to allocate anything. We don't need to
even start the jbd2 txn in this case.
2. For an append write case, we create a mapped extent.
3. If the underlying region is entirely a hole, then we create an unwritten
extent for the requested range.
4. If the underlying region is a large unwritten extent, then we split the
extent into 2 unwritten extent of required size.
5. If the underlying region has any type of mixed mapping, then we call
ext4_map_blocks() in a loop to zero out the unwritten and the hole regions
within the requested range. This then provide a single mapped extent type
mapping for the requested range.
Note: We invoke ext4_map_blocks() in a loop with the EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_ZERO
flag only when the underlying extent mapping of the requested range is
not entirely a hole, an unwritten extent, or a fully mapped extent. That
is, if the underlying region contains a mix of hole(s), unwritten
extent(s), and mapped extent(s), we use this loop to ensure that all the
short mappings are zeroed out. This guarantees that the entire requested
range becomes a single, uniformly mapped extent. It is ok to do so
because we know this is being done on a bigalloc enabled filesystem
where the block bitmap represents the entire cluster unit.
Note having a single contiguous underlying region of type mapped,
unwrittn or hole is not a problem. But the reason to avoid writing on
top of mixed mapping region is because, atomic writes requires all or
nothing should get written for the userspace pwritev2 request. So if at
any point in time during the write if a crash or a sudden poweroff
occurs, the region undergoing atomic write should read either complete
old data or complete new data. But it should never have a mix of both
old and new data.
So, we first convert any mixed mapping region to a single contiguous
mapped extent before any data gets written to it. This is because
normally FS will only convert unwritten extents to written at the end of
the write in ->end_io() call. And if we allow the writes over a mixed
mapping and if a sudden power off happens in between, we will end up
reading mix of new data (over mapped extents) and old data (over
unwritten extents), because unwritten to written conversion never went
through.
So to avoid this and to avoid writes getting torned due to mixed
mapping, we first allocate a single contiguous block mapping and then
do the write.

There can be a case where there are contiguous extents on the adjacent
leaf nodes of on-disk extent trees. So when someone tries to write to
this contiguous range, ext4_map_blocks() call will split by returning
1 extent at a time if this is not already cached in extent_status tree
cache (where if these extents when cached can get merged since they are
contiguous).
This is fine for a normal write however in case of atomic writes, it
can't afford to break the write into two. Now this is also something
that will only happen in the slow write case where we call
ext4_map_blocks() for each of these extents spread across different leaf
nodes. However, there is no guarantee that these extent status cache
cannot be reclaimed before the last call to ext4_map_blocks() in
ext4_map_blocks_atomic_write_slow().
Hence this patch adds support of EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_QUERY_LEAF_BLOCKS.
This flag checks if the requested range can be fully found in extent
status cache and return. If not, it looks up in on-disk extent
tree via ext4_map_query_blocks(). If the found extent is the last entry
in the leaf node, then it goes and queries the next lblk to see if there
is an adjacent contiguous extent in the adjacent leaf node of the
on-disk extent tree.
Even though there can be a case where there are multiple adjacent extent
entries spread across multiple leaf nodes. But we only read an adjacent
leaf block i.e. in total of 2 extent entries spread across 2 leaf nodes.
The reason for this is that we are mostly only going to support atomic
writes with upto 64KB or maybe max upto 1MB of atomic write support.

Currently, in the I/O writeback path, ext4_map_blocks() may attempt to
cache additional unrelated extents in the extent status tree without
holding the inode's i_rwsem and the mapping's invalidate_lock. This can
lead to stale extent status entries remaining in certain scenarios,
potentially causing data corruption.
For example, when performing a collapse range in ext4_collapse_range(),
it clears the extent cache and dirty pages before removing blocks and
shifting extents. It also holds the i_data_sem during these two
operations. However, both ext4_ext_remove_space() and
ext4_ext_shift_extents() may briefly release the i_data_sem if journal
credits are insufficient (ext4_datasem_ensure_credits()). If another
writeback process writes dirty pages from other regions during this
interval, it may cache extents that are about to be modified. Unless
ext4_collapse_range() explicitly clears the extent cache again, these
cached entries can become stale and inconsistent with the actual
extents.
0 a n b c m
| | | | | |
[www][wwwwww][wwwwwwww]...[wwwww][wwww]...
| |
N M
Assume that block a is dirty. The collapse range operation is removing
data from n to m and drops i_data_sem immediately after removing the
extent from b to c. At the same time, a concurrent writeback begins to
write back block a; it will reloads the extent from [n, b) into the
extent status tree since it does not hold the i_rwsem or the
invalidate_lock. After the collapse range operation, it left the stale
extent [n, b), which points logical block n to N, but the actual
physical block of n should be M.
Similarly, both ext4_insert_range() and ext4_truncate() have the same
problem. ext4_punch_hole() survived since it re-add a hole extent entry
after removing space since commit 9f1118223aa0 ("ext4: add a hole extent
entry in cache after punch").
In most cases, during dirty page writeback, the block mapping
information is likely to be found in the extent cache, making it less
necessary to search for physical extents. Consequently, loading
unrelated extent caches during writeback appears to be ineffective.
Therefore, fix this by adds EXT4_EX_NOCACHE in the writeback path to
prevent caching of unrelated extents, eliminating this potential source
of corruption.

Currently, the EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_IO_SUBMIT flag is only used during data
writeback to indicate that in ordered mode, the journal commit thread
should skip re-submitting data and simply wait for I/O completion.
To prepare for later patches that need to detect I/O submission context
in ext4_map_blocks(), generalizes the meaning of
EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_IO_SUBMIT. This flag will be set during:
1) data I/O writeback,
2) I/O completion extents conversion,
3) journal performing commit in fast_commit.
This change doesn't affect current usage of this flag and provides a
clear way to identify I/O submission context.

Presently we always BUG_ON if trying to start a transaction on a journal marked
with JBD2_UNMOUNT, since this should never happen. However, while ltp running
stress tests, it was observed that in case of some error handling paths, it is
possible for update_super_work to start a transaction after the journal is
destroyed eg:
(umount)
ext4_kill_sb
kill_block_super
generic_shutdown_super
sync_filesystem /* commits all txns */
evict_inodes
/* might start a new txn */
ext4_put_super
flush_work(&sbi->s_sb_upd_work) /* flush the workqueue */
jbd2_journal_destroy
journal_kill_thread
journal->j_flags |= JBD2_UNMOUNT;
jbd2_journal_commit_transaction
jbd2_journal_get_descriptor_buffer
jbd2_journal_bmap
ext4_journal_bmap
ext4_map_blocks
...
ext4_inode_error
ext4_handle_error
schedule_work(&sbi->s_sb_upd_work)
/* work queue kicks in */
update_super_work
jbd2_journal_start
start_this_handle
BUG_ON(journal->j_flags &
JBD2_UNMOUNT)
Hence, introduce a new mount flag to indicate journal is destroying and only do
a journaled (and deferred) update of sb if this flag is not set. Otherwise, just
fallback to an un-journaled commit.
Further, in the journal destroy path, we have the following sequence:
1. Set mount flag indicating journal is destroying
2. force a commit and wait for it
3. flush pending sb updates
This sequence is important as it ensures that, after this point, there is no sb
update that might be journaled so it is safe to update the sb outside the
journal. (To avoid race discussed in 2d01ddc86606)
Also, we don't need a similar check in ext4_grp_locked_error since it is only
called from mballoc and AFAICT it would be always valid to schedule work here.

The data_err=abort was initially introduced to address users' worries
about data corruption spreading unnoticed. With direct writes, we can
rely on return values to confirm successful writes to disk. But with
buffered writes, a successful return only means the data has been written
to memory. Users have no way of knowing if the data has actually written
it to disk unless they use fsync (which impacts performance and can
sometimes miss errors).
The current data_err=abort implementation relies on the ordered data list,
but past changes have inadvertently altered its behavior. For example, if
an extent is unwritten, we do not add the inode to the ordered data list.
Therefore, jbd2 will not wait for the data write-back of that inode to
complete and check for errors in the inode mapping. Moreover, the checks
performed by jbd2 can also miss errors.
Now, all buffered writes eventually call ext4_end_bio(), where I/O errors
are checked. Therefore, we can check for the data_err=abort mode at this
point and abort the journal in a kworker (due to the interrupt context).
Therefore, when data_err=abort is enabled, the journal is aborted in
ext4_end_io_end() when an I/O error is detected in ext4_end_bio() to make
users who are concerned about the contents of the file happy.

When dioread_nolock is turned on (the default), it will convert unwritten
extents to written at ext4_end_io_end(), even if the data writeback fails.
It leads to the possibility that stale data may be exposed when the
physical block corresponding to the file data is read-only (i.e., writes
return -EIO, but reads are normal).
Therefore a new ext4_io_end->flags EXT4_IO_END_FAILED is added, which
indicates that some bio write-back failed in the current ext4_io_end.
When this flag is set, the unwritten to written conversion is no longer
performed. Users can read the data normally until the caches are dropped,
after that, the failed extents can only be read to all 0.

The current implementation of ext4_punch_hole() contains complex
position calculations and stale error tags. To improve the code's
clarity and maintainability, it is essential to clean up the code and
improve its readability, this can be achieved by: a) simplifying and
renaming variables; b) eliminating unnecessary position calculations;
c) writing back all data in data=journal mode, and drop page cache from
the original offset to the end, rather than using aligned blocks,
d) renaming the stale error tags.

When zeroing a range of folios on the filesystem which block size is
less than the page size, the file's mapped blocks within one page will
be marked as unwritten, we should remove writable userspace mappings to
ensure that ext4_page_mkwrite() can be called during subsequent write
access to these partial folios. Otherwise, data written by subsequent
mmap writes may not be saved to disk.

Fix this by introducing ext4_truncate_page_cache_block_range() to remove
writable userspace mappings when truncating a partial folio range.
Additionally, move the journal data mode-specific handlers and
truncate_pagecache_range() into this function, allowing it to serve as a
common helper that correctly manages the page cache in preparation for
block range manipulations.

When I enabled ext4 debug for fault injection testing, I encountered the
following warning:
EXT4-fs error (device sda): ext4_read_inode_bitmap:201: comm fsstress:
Cannot read inode bitmap - block_group = 8, inode_bitmap = 1051
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 511 at fs/buffer.c:1181 mark_buffer_dirty+0x1b3/0x1d0
The root cause of the issue lies in the improper implementation of ext4's
buffer_head read fault injection. The actual completion of buffer_head
read and the buffer_head fault injection are not atomic, which can lead
to the uptodate flag being cleared on normally used buffer_heads in race
conditions.

The best approach would be to perform fault injection in the IO completion
callback function, rather than after IO completion. However, the IO
completion callback function cannot get the fault injection code in sb.
Fix it by passing the result of fault injection into the bh read function,
we simulate faults within the bh read function itself. This requires adding
an extra parameter to the bh read functions that need fault injection.

Pull vfs file updates from Christian Brauner:
"This is the work to cleanup and shrink struct file significantly.
Right now, (focusing on x86) struct file is 232 bytes. After this
series struct file will be 184 bytes aka 3 cacheline and a spare 8
bytes for future extensions at the end of the struct.
With struct file being as ubiquitous as it is this should make a
difference for file heavy workloads and allow further optimizations in
the future.
- struct fown_struct was embedded into struct file letting it take up
32 bytes in total when really it shouldn't even be embedded in
struct file in the first place. Instead, actual users of struct
fown_struct now allocate the struct on demand. This frees up 24
bytes.
- Move struct file_ra_state into the union containg the cleanup hooks
and move f_iocb_flags out of the union. This closes a 4 byte hole
we created earlier and brings struct file to 192 bytes. Which means
struct file is 3 cachelines and we managed to shrink it by 40
bytes.
- Reorder struct file so that nothing crosses a cacheline.
I suspect that in the future we will end up reordering some members
to mitigate false sharing issues or just because someone does
actually provide really good perf data.
- Shrinking struct file to 192 bytes is only part of the work.
Files use a slab that is SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU and when a kmem cache
is created with SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU the free pointer must be
located outside of the object because the cache doesn't know what
part of the memory can safely be overwritten as it may be needed to
prevent object recycling.
That has the consequence that SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU may end up
adding a new cacheline.
So this also contains work to add a new kmem_cache_create_rcu()
function that allows the caller to specify an offset where the
freelist pointer is supposed to be placed. Thus avoiding the
implicit addition of a fourth cacheline.
- And finally this removes the f_version member in struct file.
The f_version member isn't particularly well-defined. It is mainly
used as a cookie to detect concurrent seeks when iterating
directories. But it is also abused by some subsystems for
completely unrelated things.
It is mostly a directory and filesystem specific thing that doesn't
really need to live in struct file and with its wonky semantics it
really lacks a specific function.
For pipes, f_version is (ab)used to defer poll notifications until
a write has happened. And struct pipe_inode_info is used by
multiple struct files in their ->private_data so there's no chance
of pushing that down into file->private_data without introducing
another pointer indirection.
But pipes don't rely on f_pos_lock so this adds a union into struct
file encompassing f_pos_lock and a pipe specific f_pipe member that
pipes can use. This union of course can be extended to other file
types and is similar to what we do in struct inode already"

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
files.

The use of path and ppath is now very confusing, so to make the code more
readable, pass path between functions uniformly, and get rid of ppath.
To get rid of the ppath in ext4_ext_insert_extent(), the following is done
here:
* Free the extents path when an error is encountered.
* Its caller needs to update ppath if it uses ppath.
* Free path when npath is used, free npath when it is not used.
* The got_allocated_blocks label in ext4_ext_map_blocks() does not
update err now, so err is updated to 0 if the err returned by
ext4_ext_search_right() is greater than 0 and is about to enter
got_allocated_blocks.
