Jan Kara 353b67d8ce jbd: Issue cache flush after checkpointing
When we reach cleanup_journal_tail(), there is no guarantee that
checkpointed buffers are on a stable storage - especially if buffers were
written out by log_do_checkpoint(), they are likely to be only in disk's
caches. Thus when we update journal superblock, effectively removing old
transaction from journal, this write of superblock can get to stable storage
before those checkpointed buffers which can result in filesystem corruption
after a crash.

A similar problem can happen if we replay the journal and wipe it before
flushing disk's caches.

Thus we must unconditionally issue a cache flush before we update journal
superblock in these cases. The fix is slightly complicated by the fact that we
have to get log tail before we issue cache flush but we can store it in the
journal superblock only after the cache flush. Otherwise we risk races where
new tail is written before appropriate cache flush is finished.

I managed to reproduce the corruption using somewhat tweaked Chris Mason's
barrier-test scheduler. Also this should fix occasional reports of 'Bit already
freed' filesystem errors which are totally unreproducible but inspection of
several fs images I've gathered over time points to a problem like this.

Jan Kara 0048278552 jbd: Remove j_barrier mutex
j_barrier mutex is used for serializing different journal lock operations.  The
problem with it is that e.g. FIFREEZE ioctl results in process leaving kernel
with j_barrier mutex held which makes lockdep freak out. Also hibernation code
wants to freeze filesystem but it cannot do so because it then cannot hibernate
the system because of mutex being locked.

So we remove j_barrier mutex and use direct wait on j_barrier_count instead.
Since locking journal is a rare operation we don't have to care about fairness
or such things.

Yongqiang Yang 8c111b3f56 jbd: clear revoked flag on buffers before a new transaction started
Currently, we clear revoked flag only when a block is reused.  However,
this can tigger a false journal error.  Consider a situation when a block
is used as a meta block and is deleted(revoked) in ordered mode, then the
block is allocated as a data block to a file.  At this moment, user changes
the file's journal mode from ordered to journaled and truncates the file.
The block will be considered re-revoked by journal because it has revoked
flag still pending from the last transaction and an assertion triggers.

We fix the problem by keeping the revoked status more uptodate - we clear
revoked flag when switching revoke tables to reflect there is no revoked
buffers in current transaction any more.

Tejun Heo a0acae0e88 freezer: unexport refrigerator() and update try_to_freeze() slightly
There is no reason to export two functions for entering the
refrigerator.  Calling refrigerator() instead of try_to_freeze()
doesn't save anything noticeable or removes any race condition.

* Rename refrigerator() to __refrigerator() and make it return bool
  indicating whether it scheduled out for freezing.

* Update try_to_freeze() to return bool and relay the return value of
  __refrigerator() if freezing().

* Convert all refrigerator() users to try_to_freeze().

* Update documentation accordingly.

* While at it, add might_sleep() to try_to_freeze().

Eryu Guan 8762202dd0 jbd/jbd2: validate sb->s_first in journal_get_superblock()
I hit a J_ASSERT(blocknr != 0) failure in cleanup_journal_tail() when
mounting a fsfuzzed ext3 image. It turns out that the corrupted ext3
image has s_first = 0 in journal superblock, and the 0 is passed to
journal->j_head in journal_reset(), then to blocknr in
cleanup_journal_tail(), in the end the J_ASSERT failed.

So validate s_first after reading journal superblock from disk in
journal_get_superblock() to ensure s_first is valid.

The following script could reproduce it:

fstype=ext3
blocksize=1024
img=$fstype.img
offset=0
found=0
magic="c0 3b 39 98"

dd if=/dev/zero of=$img bs=1M count=8
mkfs -t $fstype -b $blocksize -F $img
filesize=`stat -c %s $img`
while [ $offset -lt $filesize ]
do
        if od -j $offset -N 4 -t x1 $img | grep -i "$magic";then
                echo "Found journal: $offset"
                found=1
                break
        fi
        offset=`echo "$offset+$blocksize" | bc`
done

if [ $found -ne 1 ];then
        echo "Magic \"$magic\" not found"
        exit 1
fi

dd if=/dev/zero of=$img seek=$(($offset+23)) conv=notrunc bs=1 count=1

mkdir -p ./mnt
mount -o loop $img ./mnt

Tao Ma a212d1a71d jbd: Use WRITE_SYNC in journal checkpoint.
In journal checkpoint, we write the buffer and wait for its finish.
But in cfq, the async queue has a very low priority, and in our test,
if there are too many sync queues and every queue is filled up with
requests, and the process will hang waiting for the log space.

So this patch tries to use WRITE_SYNC in __flush_batch so that the request will
be moved into sync queue and handled by cfq timely. We also use the new plug,
sot that all the WRITE_SYNC requests can be given as a whole when we unplug it.

Jan Kara bb189247f3 jbd: Fix oops in journal_remove_journal_head()
journal_remove_journal_head() can oops when trying to access journal_head
returned by bh2jh(). This is caused for example by the following race:

	TASK1					TASK2
  journal_commit_transaction()
    ...
    processing t_forget list
      __journal_refile_buffer(jh);
      if (!jh->b_transaction) {
        jbd_unlock_bh_state(bh);
					journal_try_to_free_buffers()
					  journal_grab_journal_head(bh)
					  jbd_lock_bh_state(bh)
					  __journal_try_to_free_buffer()
					  journal_put_journal_head(jh)
        journal_remove_journal_head(bh);

journal_put_journal_head() in TASK2 sees that b_jcount == 0 and buffer is not
part of any transaction and thus frees journal_head before TASK1 gets to doing
so. Note that even buffer_head can be released by try_to_free_buffers() after
journal_put_journal_head() which adds even larger opportunity for oops (but I
didn't see this happen in reality).

Fix the problem by making transactions hold their own journal_head reference
(in b_jcount). That way we don't have to remove journal_head explicitely via
journal_remove_journal_head() and instead just remove journal_head when
b_jcount drops to zero. The result of this is that [__]journal_refile_buffer(),
[__]journal_unfile_buffer(), and __journal_remove_checkpoint() can free
journal_head which needs modification of a few callers. Also we have to be
careful because once journal_head is removed, buffer_head might be freed as
well. So we have to get our own buffer_head reference where it matters.

Jan Kara 05713082ab jbd: remove dependency on __GFP_NOFAIL
The callers of start_this_handle() (or better ext3_journal_start()) are not
really prepared to handle allocation failures. Such failures can for example
result in silent data loss when it happens in ext3_..._writepage().  OTOH
__GFP_NOFAIL is going away so we just retry allocation in start_this_handle().

This loop is potentially dangerous because the oom killer cannot be invoked
for GFP_NOFS allocation, so there is a potential for infinitely looping.
But still this is better than silent data loss.

In do_get_write_access() we wait on BH_Unshadow bit for buffer to get
from shadow state. The waking code in journal_commit_transaction() has
a bug because it does not issue a memory barrier after the buffer is moved
from the shadow state and before wake_up_bit() is called. Thus a waitqueue
check can happen before the buffer is actually moved from the shadow state
and waiting process may never be woken. Fix the problem by issuing proper
barrier.

Ted Ts'o d9b01934d5 jbd: fix fsync() tid wraparound bug
If an application program does not make any changes to the indirect
blocks or extent tree, i_datasync_tid will not get updated.  If there
are enough commits (i.e., 2**31) such that tid_geq()'s calculations
wrap, and there isn't a currently active transaction at the time of
the fdatasync() call, this can end up triggering a BUG_ON in
fs/jbd/commit.c:

	J_ASSERT(journal->j_running_transaction != NULL);

It's pretty rare that this can happen, since it requires the use of
fdatasync() plus *very* frequent and excessive use of fsync().  But
with the right workload, it can.

We fix this by replacing the use of tid_geq() with an equality test,
since there's only one valid transaction id that is valid for us to
start: namely, the currently running transaction (if it exists).

Darrick J. Wong dff6825e9f ext3/jbd: Avoid WARN() messages when failing to write the superblock
This fixes a WARN backtrace in mark_buffer_dirty() that occurs during unmount
when the underlying block device is removed.  This bug has been seen on System
Z when removing all paths from a multipath-backed ext3 mount; on System P when
injecting enough PCI EEH errors to make the SCSI controller go offline; and
similar warnings have been seen (and patched) with ext2/ext4.

The super block update from a previous operation has marked the buffer as in
error, and the flag has to be cleared before doing the update. Similar changes
have been made to ext4 by commit 914258bf2c.

Corrado Zoccolo 749ef9f842 cfq: improve fsync performance for small files
Fsync performance for small files achieved by cfq on high-end disks is
lower than what deadline can achieve, due to idling introduced between
the sync write happening in process context and the journal commit.

Moreover, when competing with a sequential reader, a process writing
small files and fsync-ing them is starved.

This patch fixes the two problems by:
- marking journal commits as WRITE_SYNC, so that they get the REQ_NOIDLE
  flag set,
- force all queues that have REQ_NOIDLE requests to be put in the noidle
  tree.

Having the queue associated to the fsync-ing process and the one associated
 to journal commits in the noidle tree allows:
- switching between them without idling,
- fairness vs. competing idling queues, since they will be serviced only
  after the noidle tree expires its slice.

Christoph Hellwig 9cb569d601 remove SWRITE* I/O types
These flags aren't real I/O types, but tell ll_rw_block to always
lock the buffer instead of giving up on a failed trylock.

Instead add a new write_dirty_buffer helper that implements this semantic
and use it from the existing SWRITE* callers.  Note that the ll_rw_block
code had a bug where it didn't promote WRITE_SYNC_PLUG properly, which
this patch fixes.

In the ufs code clean up the helper that used to call ll_rw_block
to mirror sync_dirty_buffer, which is the function it implements for
compound buffers.

Tejun Heo 5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.
