On filesystems with a lot of metadata and in metadata intensive workloads
xfs_buf_find() is showing up at the top of the CPU cycles trace. Most of
the CPU time is spent on CPU cache misses while traversing the rbtree.
As the buffer cache does not need any kind of ordering, but fast lookups
a hashtable is the natural data structure to use. The rhashtable
infrastructure provides a self-scaling hashtable implementation and
allows lookups to proceed while the table is going through a resize
operation.
This reduces the CPU-time spent for the lookups to 1/3 even for small
filesystems with a relatively small number of cached buffers, with
possibly much larger gains on higher loaded filesystems.
[dchinner: reduce minimum hash size to an acceptable size for large
filesystems with many AGs with no active use.]

xfs_wait_buftarg() waits for all pending I/O, drains the ioend
completion workqueue and walks the LRU until all buffers in the cache
have been released. This is traditionally an unmount operation` but the
mechanism is also reused during filesystem freeze.
xfs_wait_buftarg() invokes drain_workqueue() as part of the quiesce,
which is intended more for a shutdown sequence in that it indicates to
the queue that new operations are not expected once the drain has begun.
New work jobs after this point result in a WARN_ON_ONCE() and are
otherwise dropped.
With filesystem freeze, however, read operations are allowed and can
proceed during or after the workqueue drain. If such a read occurs
during the drain sequence, the workqueue infrastructure complains about
the queued ioend completion work item and drops it on the floor. As a
result, the buffer remains on the LRU and the freeze never completes.
Despite the fact that the overall buffer cache cleanup is not necessary
during freeze, fix up this operation such that it is safe to invoke
during non-unmount quiesce operations. Replace the drain_workqueue()
call with flush_workqueue(), which runs a similar serialization on
pending workqueue jobs without causing new jobs to be dropped. This is
safe for unmount as unmount independently locks out new operations by
the time xfs_wait_buftarg() is invoked.

The buffer I/O accounting mechanism tracks async buffers under I/O. As
an optimization, the buffer I/O count is incremented only once on the
first async I/O for a given hold cycle of a buffer and decremented once
the buffer is released to the LRU (or freed).
xfs_buf_ioacct_dec() has an ASSERT() check for an XBF_ASYNC buffer, but
we have one or two corner cases where a buffer can be submitted for I/O
multiple times via different methods in a single hold cycle. If an async
I/O occurs first, the I/O count is incremented. If a sync I/O occurs
before the hold count drops, XBF_ASYNC is cleared by the time the I/O
count is decremented.
Remove the async assert check from xfs_buf_ioacct_dec() as this is a
perfectly valid scenario. For the purposes of I/O accounting, we really
only care about the buffer async state at I/O submission time.

Newly allocated XFS metadata buffers are added to the LRU once the hold
count is released, which typically occurs after I/O completion. There is
no other mechanism at current that tracks the existence or I/O state of
a new buffer. Further, readahead I/O tends to be submitted
asynchronously by nature, which means the I/O can remain in flight and
actually complete long after the calling context is gone. This means
that file descriptors or any other holds on the filesystem can be
released, allowing the filesystem to be unmounted while I/O is still in
flight. When I/O completion occurs, core data structures may have been
freed, causing completion to run into invalid memory accesses and likely
to panic.
This problem is reproduced on XFS via directory readahead. A filesystem
is mounted, a directory is opened/closed and the filesystem immediately
unmounted. The open/close cycle triggers a directory readahead that if
delayed long enough, runs buffer I/O completion after the unmount has
completed.
To address this problem, add a mechanism to track all in-flight,
asynchronous buffers using per-cpu counters in the buftarg. The buffer
is accounted on the first I/O submission after the current reference is
acquired and unaccounted once the buffer is returned to the LRU or
freed. Update xfs_wait_buftarg() to wait on all in-flight I/O before
walking the LRU list. Once in-flight I/O has completed and the workqueue
has drained, all new buffers should have been released onto the LRU.

The upcoming buftarg I/O accounting mechanism maintains a count of
all buffers that have undergone I/O in the current hold-release
cycle. Certain buffers associated with core infrastructure (e.g.,
the xfs_mount superblock buffer, log buffers) are never released,
however. This means that accounting I/O submission on such buffers
elevates the buftarg count indefinitely and could lead to lockup on
unmount.
Define a new buffer flag to explicitly exclude buffers from buftarg
I/O accounting. Set the flag on the superblock and associated log
buffers.

When we have a lot of metadata to flush from the AIL, the buffer
list can get very long. The current submission code tries to batch
submission to optimise IO order of the metadata (i.e. ascending
block order) to maximise block layer merging or IO to adjacent
metadata blocks.
Unfortunately, the method used can result in long lock times
occurring as buffers locked early on in the buffer list might not be
dispatched until the end of the IO licst processing. This is because
sorting does not occur util after the buffer list has been processed
and the buffers that are going to be submitted are locked. Hence
when the buffer list is several thousand buffers long, the lock hold
times before IO dispatch can be significant.
To fix this, sort the buffer list before we start trying to lock and
submit buffers. This means we can now submit buffers immediately
after they are locked, allowing merging to occur immediately on the
plug and dispatch to occur as quickly as possible. This means there
is minimal delay between locking the buffer and IO submission
occuring, hence reducing the worst case lock hold times seen during
delayed write buffer IO submission signficantly.

Reports have surfaced of a lockdep splat complaining about an
irq-safe -> irq-unsafe locking order in the xfs_buf_bio_end_io() bio
completion handler. This only occurs when I/O errors are present
because bp->b_lock is only acquired in this context to protect
setting an error on the buffer. The problem is that this lock can be
acquired with the (request_queue) q->queue_lock held. See
scsi_end_request() or ata_qc_schedule_eh(), for example.
Replace the locked test/set of b_io_error with a cmpxchg() call.
This eliminates the need for the lock and thus the lock ordering
problem goes away.

Recently I've been seeing xfs/051 fail on 1k block size filesystems.
Trying to trace the events during the test lead to the problem going
away, indicating that it was a race condition that lead to this
ASSERT failure:

When I finally caught it with tracing enabled, I saw that AG 2 had
an elevated reference count and a buffer was responsible for it. I
tracked down the specific buffer, and found that it was missing the
final reference count release that would put it back on the LRU and
hence be found by xfs_wait_buftarg() calls in the log mount failure
handling.
The last four traces for the buffer before the assert were (trimmed
for relevance)
kworker/0:1-5259 xfs_buf_iodone: hold 2 lock 0 flags ASYNC
kworker/0:1-5259 xfs_buf_ioerror: hold 2 lock 0 error -5
mount-7163 xfs_buf_lock_done: hold 2 lock 0 flags ASYNC
mount-7163 xfs_buf_unlock: hold 2 lock 1 flags ASYNC
This is an async write that is completing, so there's nobody waiting
for it directly. Hence we call xfs_buf_relse() once all the
processing is complete. That does:
static inline void xfs_buf_relse(xfs_buf_t *bp)
{
xfs_buf_unlock(bp);
xfs_buf_rele(bp);
}
Now, it's clear that mount is waiting on the buffer lock, and that
it has been released by xfs_buf_relse() and gained by mount. This is
expected, because at this point the mount process is in
xfs_buf_delwri_submit() waiting for all the IO it submitted to
complete.
The mount process, however, is waiting on the lock for the buffer
because it is in xfs_buf_delwri_submit(). This waits for IO
completion, but it doesn't wait for the buffer reference owned by
the IO to go away. The mount process collects all the completions,
fails the log recovery, and the higher level code then calls
xfs_wait_buftarg() to free all the remaining buffers in the
filesystem.
The issue is that on unlocking the buffer, the scheduler has decided
that the mount process has higher priority than the the kworker
thread that is running the IO completion, and so immediately
switched contexts to the mount process from the semaphore unlock
code, hence preventing the kworker thread from finishing the IO
completion and releasing the IO reference to the buffer.
Hence by the time that xfs_wait_buftarg() is run, the buffer still
has an active reference and so isn't on the LRU list that the
function walks to free the remaining buffers. Hence we miss that
buffer and continue onwards to tear down the mount structures,
at which time we get find a stray reference count on the perag
structure. On a non-debug kernel, this will be ignored and the
structure torn down and freed. Hence when the kworker thread is then
rescheduled and the buffer released and freed, it will access a
freed perag structure.
The problem here is that when the log mount fails, we still need to
quiesce the log to ensure that the IO workqueues have returned to
idle before we run xfs_wait_buftarg(). By synchronising the
workqueues, we ensure that all IO completions are fully processed,
not just to the point where buffers have been unlocked. This ensures
we don't end up in the situation above.

libxfs: Optimize the loop for xfs_bitmap_empty
...
When we do inode readahead in log recovery, we do can do the
readahead before we've replayed the icreate transaction that stamps
the buffer with inode cores. The inode readahead verifier catches
this and marks the buffer as !done to indicate that it doesn't yet
contain valid inodes.
In adding buffer error notification (i.e. setting b_error = -EIO at
the same time as as we clear the done flag) to such a readahead
verifier failure, we can then get subsequent inode recovery failing
with this error:
XFS (dm-0): metadata I/O error: block 0xa00060 ("xlog_recover_do..(read#2)") error 5 numblks 32
This occurs when readahead completion races with icreate item replay
such as:
inode readahead
find buffer
lock buffer
submit RA io
....
icreate recovery
xfs_trans_get_buffer
find buffer
lock buffer
<blocks on RA completion>
.....
<ra completion>
fails verifier
clear XBF_DONE
set bp->b_error = -EIO
release and unlock buffer
<icreate gains lock>
icreate initialises buffer
marks buffer as done
adds buffer to delayed write queue
releases buffer
At this point, we have an initialised inode buffer that is up to
date but has an -EIO state registered against it. When we finally
get to recovering an inode in that buffer:
inode item recovery
xfs_trans_read_buffer
find buffer
lock buffer
sees XBF_DONE is set, returns buffer
sees bp->b_error is set
fail log recovery!
Essentially, we need xfs_trans_get_buf_map() to clear the error status of
the buffer when doing a lookup. This function returns uninitialised
buffers, so the buffer returned can not be in an error state and
none of the code that uses this function expects b_error to be set
on return. Indeed, there is an ASSERT(!bp->b_error); in the
transaction case in xfs_trans_get_buf_map() that would have caught
this if log recovery used transactions....
This patch firstly changes the inode readahead failure to set -EIO
on the buffer, and secondly changes xfs_buf_get_map() to never
return a buffer with an error state set so this first change doesn't
cause unexpected log recovery failures.

Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO:
(1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag
(2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback
The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible
error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent
when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent
bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario. Having both mechanisms
available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors
and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of
them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds
of error returns.
So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct
bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.

Currently, the isolate callback passed to the list_lru_walk family of
functions is supposed to just delete an item from the list upon returning
LRU_REMOVED or LRU_REMOVED_RETRY, while nr_items counter is fixed by
__list_lru_walk_one after the callback returns. Since the callback is
allowed to drop the lock after removing an item (it has to return
LRU_REMOVED_RETRY then), the nr_items can be less than the actual number
of elements on the list even if we check them under the lock. This makes
it difficult to move items from one list_lru_one to another, which is
required for per-memcg list_lru reparenting - we can't just splice the
lists, we have to move entries one by one.
This patch therefore introduces helpers that must be used by callback
functions to isolate items instead of raw list_del/list_move. These are
list_lru_isolate and list_lru_isolate_move. They not only remove the
entry from the list, but also fix the nr_items counter, making sure
nr_items always reflects the actual number of elements on the list if
checked under the appropriate lock.

Kmem accounting of memcg is unusable now, because it lacks slab shrinker
support. That means when we hit the limit we will get ENOMEM w/o any
chance to recover. What we should do then is to call shrink_slab, which
would reclaim old inode/dentry caches from this cgroup. This is what
this patch set is intended to do.
Basically, it does two things. First, it introduces the notion of
per-memcg slab shrinker. A shrinker that wants to reclaim objects per
cgroup should mark itself as SHRINKER_MEMCG_AWARE. Then it will be
passed the memory cgroup to scan from in shrink_control->memcg. For
such shrinkers shrink_slab iterates over the whole cgroup subtree under
the target cgroup and calls the shrinker for each kmem-active memory
cgroup.
Secondly, this patch set makes the list_lru structure per-memcg. It's
done transparently to list_lru users - everything they have to do is to
tell list_lru_init that they want memcg-aware list_lru. Then the
list_lru will automatically distribute objects among per-memcg lists
basing on which cgroup the object is accounted to. This way to make FS
shrinkers (icache, dcache) memcg-aware we only need to make them use
memcg-aware list_lru, and this is what this patch set does.
As before, this patch set only enables per-memcg kmem reclaim when the
pressure goes from memory.limit, not from memory.kmem.limit. Handling
memory.kmem.limit is going to be tricky due to GFP_NOFS allocations, and
it is still unclear whether we will have this knob in the unified
hierarchy.
This patch (of 9):
NUMA aware slab shrinkers use the list_lru structure to distribute
objects coming from different NUMA nodes to different lists. Whenever
such a shrinker needs to count or scan objects from a particular node,
it issues commands like this:
count = list_lru_count_node(lru, sc->nid);
freed = list_lru_walk_node(lru, sc->nid, isolate_func,
isolate_arg, &sc->nr_to_scan);
where sc is an instance of the shrink_control structure passed to it
from vmscan.
To simplify this, let's add special list_lru functions to be used by
shrinkers, list_lru_shrink_count() and list_lru_shrink_walk(), which
consolidate the nid and nr_to_scan arguments in the shrink_control
structure.
This will also allow us to avoid patching shrinkers that use list_lru
when we make shrink_slab() per-memcg - all we will have to do is extend
the shrink_control structure to include the target memcg and make
list_lru_shrink_{count,walk} handle this appropriately.

XFS traditionally sends all buffer I/O completion work to a single
workqueue. This includes metadata buffer completion and log buffer
completion. The log buffer completion requires a high priority queue to
prevent stalls due to log forces getting stuck behind other queued work.
Rather than continue to prioritize all buffer I/O completion due to the
needs of log completion, split log buffer completion off to
m_log_workqueue and move the high priority flag from m_buf_workqueue to
m_log_workqueue.
Add a b_ioend_wq wq pointer to xfs_buf to allow completion workqueue
customization on a per-buffer basis. Initialize b_ioend_wq to
m_buf_workqueue by default in the generic buffer I/O submission path.
Finally, override the default wq with the high priority m_log_workqueue
in the log buffer I/O submission path.

The xfslogd workqueue is a global, single-job workqueue for buffer ioend
processing. This means we allow for a single work item at a time for all
possible XFS mounts on a system. fsstress testing in loopback XFS over
XFS configurations has reproduced xfslogd deadlocks due to the single
threaded nature of the queue and dependencies introduced between the
separate XFS instances by online discard (-o discard).
Discard over a loopback device converts the discard request to a hole
punch (fallocate) on the underlying file. Online discard requests are
issued synchronously and from xfslogd context in XFS, hence the xfslogd
workqueue is blocked in the upper fs waiting on a hole punch request to
be servied in the lower fs. If the lower fs issues I/O that depends on
xfslogd to complete, both filesystems end up hung indefinitely. This is
reproduced reliabily by generic/013 on XFS->loop->XFS test devices with
the '-o discard' mount option.
Further, docker implementations appear to use this kind of configuration
for container instance filesystems by default (container fs->dm->
loop->base fs) and therefore are subject to this deadlock when running
on XFS.
Replace the global xfslogd workqueue with a per-mount variant. This
guarantees each mount access to a single worker and prevents deadlocks
due to inter-fs dependencies introduced by discard. Since the queue is
only responsible for buffer iodone processing at this point in time,
rename xfslogd to xfs-buf.

There is a lot of cookie-cutter code that looks like:
if (shutdown)
handle buffer error
xfs_buf_iorequest(bp)
error = xfs_buf_iowait(bp)
if (error)
handle buffer error
spread through XFS. There's significant complexity now in
xfs_buf_iorequest() to specifically handle this sort of synchronous
IO pattern, but there's all sorts of nasty surprises in different
error handling code dependent on who owns the buffer references and
the locks.
Pull this pattern into a single helper, where we can hide all the
synchronous IO warts and hence make the error handling for all the
callers much saner. This removes the need for a special extra
reference to protect IO completion processing, as we can now hold a
single reference across dispatch and waiting, simplifying the sync
IO smeantics and error handling.
In doing this, also rename xfs_buf_iorequest to xfs_buf_submit and
make it explicitly handle on asynchronous IO. This forces all users
to be switched specifically to one interface or the other and
removes any ambiguity between how the interfaces are to be used. It
