efc0845f5d xfs: convert xfs_ialloc_has_inodes_at_extent to return keyfill scan results
Convert the xfs_ialloc_has_inodes_at_extent function to return keyfill
scan results because for a given range of inode numbers, we might have
no indexed inodes at all; the entire region might be allocated ondisk
inodes; or there might be a mix of the two.

Unfortunately, sparse inodes adds to the complexity, because each inode
record can have holes, which means that we cannot use the generic btree
_scan_keyfill function because we must look for holes in individual
records to decide the result.  On the plus side, online fsck can now
detect sub-chunk discrepancies in the inobt.

4a200a0978 xfs: implement masked btree key comparisons for _has_records scans
For keyspace fullness scans, we want to be able to mask off the parts of
the key that we don't care about.  For most btree types we /do/ want the
full keyspace, but for checking that a given space usage also has a full
complement of rmapbt records (even if different/multiple owners) we need
this masking so that we only track sparseness of rm_startblock, not the
whole keyspace (which is extremely sparse).

Augment the ->diff_two_keys and ->keys_contiguous helpers to take a
third union xfs_btree_key argument, and wire up xfs_rmap_has_records to
pass this through.  This third "mask" argument should contain a nonzero
value in each structure field that should be used in the key comparisons
done during the scan.

6abc7aef85 xfs: replace xfs_btree_has_record with a general keyspace scanner
The current implementation of xfs_btree_has_record returns true if it
finds /any/ record within the given range.  Unfortunately, that's not
sufficient for scrub.  We want to be able to tell if a range of keyspace
for a btree is devoid of records, is totally mapped to records, or is
somewhere in between.  By forcing this to be a boolean, we conflated
sparseness and fullness, which caused scrub to return incorrect results.

current state.

2bea8df0a5 xfs: always scrub record/key order of interior records
In commit d47fef9342d0, we removed the firstrec and firstkey fields of
struct xchk_btree because Christoph thought they were unnecessary
because we could use the record index in the btree cursor.  This is
incorrect because bc_ptrs (now bc_levels[].ptr) tracks the cursor
position within a specific btree block, not within the entire level.

The end result is that scrub no longer detects situations where the
rightmost record of a block is identical to the leftmost record of that
block's right sibling.  Fix this regression by reintroducing record
validity booleans so that order checking skips *only* the leftmost
record/key in each level.

38384569a2 xfs: detect unwritten bit set in rmapbt node block keys
In the last patch, we changed the rmapbt code to remove the UNWRITTEN
bit when creating an rmapbt key from an rmapbt record, and we changed
the rmapbt key comparison code to start considering the ATTR and BMBT
flags during lookup.  This brought the behavior of the rmapbt
implementation in line with its specification.

However, there may exist filesystems that have the unwritten bit still
set in the rmapbt keys.  We should detect these situations and flag the
rmapbt as one that would benefit from optimization.  Eventually, online
repair will be able to do something in response to this.

08c987deca xfs: fix rm_offset flag handling in rmap keys
Keys for extent interval records in the reverse mapping btree are
supposed to be computed as follows:

(physical block, owner, fork, is_btree, offset)

This provides users the ability to look up a reverse mapping from a file
block mapping record -- start with the physical block; then if there are
multiple records for the same block, move on to the owner; then the
inode fork type; and so on to the file offset.

Unfortunately, the code that creates rmap lookup keys from rmap records
forgot to mask off the record attribute flags, leading to ondisk keys
that look like this:

(physical block, owner, fork, is_btree, unwritten state, offset)

Fortunately, this has all worked ok for the past six years because the
key comparison functions incorrectly ignore the fork/bmbt/unwritten
information that's encoded in the on-disk offset.  This means that
lookup comparisons are only done with:

(physical block, owner, offset)

Queries can (theoretically) return incorrect results because of this
omission.  On consistent filesystems this isn't an issue because xattr
and bmbt blocks cannot be shared and hence the comparisons succeed
purely on the contents of the rm_startblock field.  For the one case
where we support sharing (written data fork blocks) all flag bits are
zero, so the omission in the comparison has no ill effects.

Unfortunately, this bug prevents scrub from detecting incorrect fork and
bmbt flag bits in the rmap btree, so we really do need to fix the
compare code.  Old filesystems with the unwritten bit erroneously set in
the rmap key struct will work fine on new kernels since we still ignore
the unwritten bit.  New filesystems on older kernels will work fine
since the old kernels never paid attention to the unwritten bit.

A previous version of this patch forgot to keep the (un)written state
flag masked during the comparison and caused a major regression in
5.9.x since unwritten extent conversion can update an rmap record
without requiring key updates.

Note that blocks cannot go directly from data fork to attr fork without
being deallocated and reallocated, nor can they be added to or removed
from a bmbt without a free/alloc cycle, so this should not cause any
regressions.

Found by fuzzing keys[1].attrfork = ones on xfs/371.

88accf1722 xfs: scrub should use ECHRNG to signal that the drain is needed
In the previous patch, we added jump labels to the intent drain code so
that regular filesystem operations need not pay the price of checking
for someone (scrub) waiting on intents to drain from some part of the
filesystem when that someone isn't running.

However, I observed that xfs/285 now spends a lot more time pushing the
AIL from the inode btree scrubber than it used to.  This is because the
inobt scrubber will try push the AIL to try to get logged inode cores
written to the filesystem when it sees a weird discrepancy between the
ondisk inode and the inobt records.  This AIL push is triggered when the
setup function sees TRY_HARDER is set; and the requisite EDEADLOCK
return is initiated when the discrepancy is seen.

The solution to this performance slow down is to use a different result
code (ECHRNG) for scrub code to signal that it needs to wait for
deferred intent work items to drain out of some part of the filesystem.
When this happens, set a new scrub state flag (XCHK_NEED_DRAIN) so that
setup functions will activate the jump label.

466c525d6d xfs: minimize overhead of drain wakeups by using jump labels
To reduce the runtime overhead even further when online fsck isn't
running, use a static branch key to decide if we call wake_up on the
drain.  For compilers that support jump labels, the call to wake_up is
replaced by a nop sled when nobody is waiting for intents to drain.

From my initial microbenchmarking, every transition of the static key
between the on and off states takes about 22000ns to complete; this is
paid entirely by the xfs_scrub process.  When the static key is off
(which it should be when fsck isn't running), the nop sled adds an
overhead of approximately 0.36ns to runtime code.  The post-atomic
lockless waiter check adds about 0.03ns, which is basically free.

For the few compilers that don't support jump labels, runtime code pays
the cost of calling wake_up on an empty waitqueue, which was observed to
be about 30ns.  However, most architectures that have sufficient memory
and CPU capacity to run XFS also support jump labels, so this is not
much of a worry.

3f64c718d0 xfs: clean up scrub context if scrub setup returns -EDEADLOCK
It has been a longstanding convention that online scrub and repair
functions can return -EDEADLOCK to signal that they weren't able to
obtain some necessary resource.  When this happens, the scrub framework
is supposed to release all resources attached to the scrub context, set
the TRY_HARDER flag in the scrub context flags, and try again.  In this
context, individual scrub functions are supposed to take all the
resources they (incorrectly) speculated were not necessary.

We're about to make it so that the functions that lock and wait for a
filesystem AG can also return EDEADLOCK to signal that we need to try
again with the drain waiters enabled.  Therefore, refactor
xfs_scrub_metadata to support this behavior for ->setup() functions.

d5c88131db xfs: allow queued AG intents to drain before scrubbing
When a writer thread executes a chain of log intent items, the AG header
buffer locks will cycle during a transaction roll to get from one intent
item to the next in a chain.  Although scrub takes all AG header buffer
locks, this isn't sufficient to guard against scrub checking an AG while
that writer thread is in the middle of finishing a chain because there's
no higher level locking primitive guarding allocation groups.

When there's a collision, cross-referencing between data structures
(e.g. rmapbt and refcountbt) yields false corruption events; if repair
is running, this results in incorrect repairs, which is catastrophic.

Fix this by adding to the perag structure the count of active intents
and make scrub wait until it has both AG header buffer locks and the
intent counter reaches zero.

One quirk of the drain code is that deferred bmap updates also bump and
drop the intent counter.  A fundamental decision made during the design
phase of the reverse mapping feature is that updates to the rmapbt
records are always made by the same code that updates the primary
metadata.  In other words, callers of bmapi functions expect that the
bmapi functions will queue deferred rmap updates.

Some parts of the reflink code queue deferred refcount (CUI) and bmap
(BUI) updates in the same head transaction, but the deferred work
manager completely finishes the CUI before the BUI work is started.  As
a result, the CUI drops the intent count long before the deferred rmap
(RUI) update even has a chance to bump the intent count.  The only way
to keep the intent count elevated between the CUI and RUI is for the BUI
to bump the counter until the RUI has been created.

A second quirk of the intent drain code is that deferred work items must
increment the intent counter as soon as the work item is added to the
transaction.  When a BUI completes and queues an RUI, the RUI must
increment the counter before the BUI decrements it.  The only way to
accomplish this is to require that the counter be bumped as soon as the
deferred work item is created in memory.

In the next patches we'll improve on this facility, but this patch
provides the basic functionality.

a26aa25247 xfs: document directory tree repairs
Directory tree repairs are the least complete part of online fsck, due
to the lack of directory parent pointers.  However, even without that
feature, we can still make some corrections to the directory tree -- we
can salvage as many directory entries as we can from a damaged
directory, and we can reattach orphaned inodes to the lost+found, just
as xfs_repair does now.

2f754f7fb9 xfs: document metadata file repair
File-based metadata (such as xattrs and directories) can be extremely
large.  To reduce the memory requirements and maximize code reuse, it is
very convenient to create a temporary file, use the regular dir/attr
code to store salvaged information, and then atomically swap the extents
between the file being repaired and the temporary file.  Record the high
level concepts behind how temporary files and atomic content swapping
should work, and then present some case studies of what the actual
repair functions do.

a0d856eede xfs: document full filesystem scans for online fsck
Certain parts of the online fsck code need to scan every file in the
entire filesystem.  It is not acceptable to block the entire filesystem
while this happens, which means that we need to be clever in allowing
scans to coordinate with ongoing filesystem updates.  We also need to
hook the filesystem so that regular updates propagate to the staging
records.

Add a discussion of the btree bulk loading code, which makes it easy to
take an in-memory recordset and write it out to disk in an efficient
manner.  This also enables atomic switchover from the old to the new
structure with minimal potential for leaking the old blocks.

bae43864c0 xfs: document how online fsck deals with eventual consistency
Writes to an XFS filesystem employ an eventual consistency update model
to break up complex multistep metadata updates into small chained
transactions.  This is generally good for performance and scalability
because XFS doesn't need to prepare for enormous transactions, but it
also means that online fsck must be careful not to attempt a fsck action
unless it can be shown that there are no other threads processing a
transaction chain.  This part of the design documentation covers the
thinking behind the consistency model and how scrub deals with it.
