xfs: fix ascii-ci problems, then kill it [v2]
Last week, I was fiddling around with the metadump name obfuscation code
while writing a debugger command to generate directories full of names
that all have the same hash name. I had a few questions about how well
all that worked with ascii-ci mode, and discovered a nasty discrepancy
between the kernel and glibc's implementations of the tolower()
function.
I discovered that I could create a directory that is large enough to
require separate leaf index blocks. The hashes stored in the dabtree
use the ascii-ci specific hash function, which uses a library function
to convert the name to lowercase before hashing. If the kernel and C
library's versions of tolower do not behave exactly identically,
xfs_ascii_ci_hashname will not produce the same results for the same
inputs. xfs_repair will deem the leaf information corrupt and rebuild
the directory. After that, lookups in the kernel will fail because the
hash index doesn't work.
The kernel's tolower function will convert extended ascii uppercase
letters (e.g. A-with-umlaut) to extended ascii lowercase letters (e.g.
a-with-umlaut), whereas glibc's will only do that if you force LANG to
ascii. Tiny embedded libc implementations just plain won't do it at
all, and the result is a mess. Stabilize the behavior of the hash
function by encoding the name transformation function in libxfs, add it
to the selftest, and fix all the userspace tools, none of which handle
this transformation correctly.
The v1 series generated a /lot/ of discussion, in which several things
became very clear: (1) Linus is not enamored of case folding of any
kind; (2) Dave and Christoph don't seem to agree on whether the feature
is supposed to work for 7-bit ascii or latin1; (3) it trashes UTF8
encoded names if those happen to show up; and (4) I don't want to
maintain this mess any longer than I have to. Kill it in 2030.
v2: rename the functions to make it clear we're moving away from the
letters t, o, l, o, w, e, and r; and deprecate the whole feature once
we've fixed the bugs and added tests.

xfs: rework online fsck incore bitmap [v24.5]
In this series, we make some changes to the incore bitmap code: First,
we shorten the prefix to 'xbitmap'. Then, we rework some utility
functions for later use by online repair and clarify how the walk
functions are supposed to be used.
Finally, we use all these new pieces to convert the incore bitmap to use
an interval tree instead of linked lists. This lifts the limitation
that callers had to be careful not to set a range that was already set;
and gets us ready for the btree rebuilder functions needing to be able
to set bits in a bitmap and generate maximal contiguous extents for the
set ranges.

xfs: clean up memory management in xattr scrub [v24.5]
Currently, the extended attribute scrubber uses a single VLA to store
all the context information needed in various parts of the scrubber
code. This includes xattr leaf block space usage bitmaps, and the value
buffer used to check the correctness of remote xattr value block
headers. We try to minimize the insanity through the use of helper
functions, but this is a memory management nightmare. Clean this up by
making the bitmap and value pointers explicit members of struct
xchk_xattr_buf.
Second, strengthen the xattr checking by teaching it to look for overlapping
data structures in the shortform attr data.

xfs: detect mergeable and overlapping btree records [v24.5]
While I was doing differential fuzz analysis between xfs_scrub and
xfs_repair, I noticed that xfs_repair was only partially effective at
detecting btree records that can be merged, and xfs_scrub totally didn't
notice at all.
For every interval btree type except for the bmbt, there should never
exist two adjacent records with adjacent keyspaces because the
blockcount field is always large enough to span the entire keyspace of
the domain. This is because the free space, rmap, and refcount btrees
have a blockcount field large enough to store the maximum AG length, and
there can never be an allocation larger than an AG.
The bmbt is a different story due to its ondisk encoding where the
blockcount is only 21 bits wide. Because AGs can span up to 2^31 blocks
and the RT volume can span up to 2^52 blocks, a preallocation of 2^22
blocks will be expressed as two records of 2^21 length. We don't
opportunistically combine records when doing bmbt operations, which is
why the fsck tools have never complained about this scenario.
Offline repair is partially effective at detecting mergeable records
because I taught it to do that for the rmap and refcount btrees. This
series enhances the free space, rmap, and refcount scrubbers to detect
mergeable records. For the bmbt, it will flag the file as being
eligible for an optimization to shrink the size of the data structure.
The last patch in this set also enhances the rmap scrubber to detect
records that overlap incorrectly. This check is done automatically for
non-overlapping btree types, but we have to do it separately for the
rmapbt because there are constraints on which allocation types are
allowed to overlap.

xfs: merge bmap records for faster scrubs [v24.5]
I started looking into performance problems with the data fork scrubber
in generic/333, and noticed a few things that needed improving. First,
due to design reasons, it's possible for file forks btrees to contain
multiple contiguous mappings to the same physical space. Instead of
checking each ondisk mapping individually, it's much faster to combine
them when possible and check the combined mapping because that's fewer
trips through the rmap btree, and we can drop this check-around
behavior that it does when an rmapbt lookup produces a record that
starts before or ends after a particular bmbt mapping.
Second, I noticed that the bmbt scrubber decides to walk every reverse
mapping in the filesystem if the file fork is in btree format. This is
very costly, and only necessary if the inode repair code had to zap a
fork to convince iget to work. Constraining the full-rmap scan to this
one case means we can skip it for normal files, which drives the runtime
of this test from 8 hours down to 45 minutes (observed with realtime
reflink and rebuild-all mode.)

xfs: fix iget/irele usage in online fsck [v24.5]
This patchset fixes a handful of problems relating to how we get and
release incore inodes in the online scrub code. The first patch fixes
how we handle DONTCACHE -- our reasons for setting (or clearing it)
depend entirely on the runtime environment at irele time. Hence we can
refactor iget and irele to use our own wrappers that set that context
appropriately.
The second patch fixes a race between the iget call in the inode core
scrubber and other writer threads that are allocating or freeing inodes
in the same AG by changing the behavior of xchk_iget (and the inode core
scrub setup function) to return either an incore inode or the AGI buffer
so that we can be sure that the inode cannot disappear on us.
The final patch elides MMAPLOCK from scrub paths when possible. It did
not fit anywhere else.

xfs: detect incorrect gaps in refcount btree [v24.5]
The next few patchsets address a deficiency in scrub that I found while
QAing the refcount btree scrubber. If there's a gap between refcount
records, we need to cross-reference that gap with the reverse mappings
to ensure that there are no overlapping records in the rmap btree. If
we find any, then the refcount btree is not consistent. This is not a
property that is specific to the refcount btree; they all need to have
this sort of keyspace scanning logic to detect inconsistencies.
To do this accurately, we need to be able to scan the keyspace of a
btree (which we already do) to be able to tell the caller if the
keyspace is empty, sparse, or fully covered by records. The first few
patches add the keyspace scanner to the generic btree code, along with
the ability to mask off parts of btree keys because when we scan the
rmapbt, we only care about space usage, not the owners.
The final patch closes the scanning gap in the refcountbt scanner.

xfs: fix rmap btree key flag handling [v24.5]
This series fixes numerous flag handling bugs in the rmapbt key code.
The most serious transgression is that key comparisons completely strip
out all flag bits from rm_offset, including the ones that participate in
record lookups. The second problem is that for years we've been letting
the unwritten flag (which is an attribute of a specific record and not
part of the record key) escape from leaf records into key records.
The solution to the second problem is to filter attribute flags when
creating keys from records, and the solution to the first problem is to
preserve *only* the flags used for key lookups. The ATTR and BMBT flags
are a part of the lookup key, and the UNWRITTEN flag is a record
attribute.
This has worked for years without generating user complaints because
ATTR and BMBT extents cannot be shared, so key comparisons succeed
solely on rm_startblock. Only file data fork extents can be shared, and
those records never set any of the three flag bits, so comparisons that
dig into rm_owner and rm_offset work just fine.
A filesystem written with an unpatched kernel and mounted on a patched
kernel will work correctly because the ATTR/BMBT flags have been
conveyed into keys correctly all along, and we still ignore the
UNWRITTEN flag in any key record. This was what doomed my previous
attempt to correct this problem in 2019.
A filesystem written with a patched kernel and mounted on an unpatched
kernel will also work correctly because unpatched kernels ignore all
flags.
With this patchset applied, the scrub code gains the ability to detect
rmap btrees with incorrectly set attr and bmbt flags in the key records.
After three years of testing, I haven't encountered any problems.

xfs: drain deferred work items when scrubbing [v24.5]
The design doc for XFS online fsck contains a long discussion of the
eventual consistency models in use for XFS metadata. In that chapter,
we note that it is possible for scrub to collide with a chain of
deferred space metadata updates, and proposes a lightweight solution:
The use of a pending-intents counter so that scrub can wait for the
system to drain all chains.
This patchset implements that scrub drain. The first patch implements
the basic mechanism, and the subsequent patches reduce the runtime
overhead by converting the implementation to use sloppy counters and
introducing jump labels to avoid walking into scrub hooks when it isn't
running. This last paradigm repeats elsewhere in this megaseries.

xfs: design documentation for online fsck [v24.5]
After six years of development and a nearly two year hiatus from
patchbombing, I think it is time to resume the process of merging the
online fsck feature into XFS. The full patchset comprises 105 separate
patchsets that capture 470 patches across the kernel, xfsprogs, and
fstests projects.
I would like to merge this feature into upstream in time for the 2023
LTS kernel. As of 5.15 (aka last year's LTS), we have merged all
generally useful infrastructure improvements into the regular
filesystem. The only changes to the core filesystem that remain are the
ones that are only useful to online fsck itself. In other words, the
vast majority of the new code in the patchsets comprising the online
fsck feature are is mostly self contained and can be turned off via
Kconfig.
Many of you readers might be wondering -- why have I chosen to make one
large submission with 100+ patchsets comprising ~500 patches? Why
didn't I merge small pieces of functionality bit by bit and revise
common code as necessary? Well, the simple answer is that in the past
six years, the fundamental algorithms have been revised repeatedly as
I've built out the functionality. In other words, the codebase as it is
now has the benefit that I now know every piece that's necessary to get
the job done in a reasonable manner and within the constraints laid out
by community reviews. I believe this has reduced code churn in mainline
and freed up my time so that I can iterate faster.
As a concession to the mail servers, I'm breaking up the submission into
smaller pieces; I'm only pushing the design document and the revisions
to the existing scrub code, which is the first 20%% of the patches.
Also, I'm arbitrarily restarting the version numbering by reversioning
all patchsets from version 22 to epoch 23, version 1.
The big question to everyone reading this is: How might I convince you
that there is more merit in merging the whole feature and dealing with
the consequences than continuing to maintain it out of tree?
---------
To prepare the XFS community and potential patch reviewers for the
upstream submission of the online fsck feature, I decided to write a
document capturing the broader picture behind the online repair
development effort. The document begins by defining the problems that
online fsck aims to solve and outlining specific use cases for the
functionality.
Using that as a base, the rest of the design document presents the high
level algorithms that fulfill the goals set out at the start and the
interactions between the large pieces of the system. Case studies round
out the design documentation by adding the details of exactly how
specific parts of the online fsck code integrate the algorithms with the
filesystem.
The goal of this effort is to help the XFS community understand how the
gigantic online repair patchset works. The questions I submit to the
community reviewers are:
1. As you read the design doc (and later the code), do you feel that you
understand what's going on well enough to try to fix a bug if you
found one?
2. What sorts of interactions between systems (or between scrub and the
rest of the kernel) am I missing?
3. Do you feel confident enough in the implementation as it is now that
the benefits of merging the feature (as EXPERIMENTAL) outweigh any
potential disruptions to XFS at large?
4. Are there problematic interactions between subsystems that ought to
be cleared up before merging?
5. Can I just merge all of this?
I intend to commit this document to the kernel's documentation directory
when we start merging the patchset, albeit without the links to
git.kernel.org. A much more readable version of this is posted at:
https://djwong.org/docs/xfs-online-fsck-design/
v2: add missing sections about: all the in-kernel data structures and
new apis that the scrub and repair functions use; how xattrs and
directories are checked; how space btree records are checked; and
add more details to the parts where all these bits tie together.
Proofread for verb tense inconsistencies and eliminate vague 'we'
usage. Move all the discussion of what we can do with pageable
kernel memory into a single source file and section. Document where
log incompat feature locks fit into the locking model.

Since commit 8b41fc4454 ("kbuild: create modules.builtin without
Makefile.modbuiltin or tristate.conf"), MODULE_LICENSE declarations
are used to identify modules. As a consequence, uses of the macro
in non-modules will cause modprobe to misidentify their containing
object file as a module when it is not (false positives), and modprobe
might succeed rather than failing with a suitable error message.
So remove it in the files in this commit, none of which can be built as
modules.
