Asynchronously try to release dying cgwbs by switching attached inodes to
the nearest living ancestor wb. It helps to get rid of per-cgroup
writeback structures themselves and of pinned memory and block cgroups,
which are significantly larger structures (mostly due to large per-cpu
statistics data). This prevents memory waste and helps to avoid different
scalability problems caused by large piles of dying cgroups.
Reuse the existing mechanism of inode switching used for foreign inode
detection. To speed things up batch up to 115 inode switching in a single
operation (the maximum number is selected so that the resulting struct
inode_switch_wbs_context can fit into 1024 bytes). Because every
switching consists of two steps divided by an RCU grace period, it would
be too slow without batching. Please note that the whole batch counts as
a single operation (when increasing/decreasing isw_nr_in_flight). This
allows to keep umounting working (flush the switching queue), however
prevents cleanups from consuming the whole switching quota and effectively
blocking the frn switching.
A cgwb cleanup operation can fail due to different reasons (e.g. not
enough memory, the cgwb has an in-flight/pending io, an attached inode in
a wrong state, etc). In this case the next scheduled cleanup will make a
new attempt. An attempt is made each time a new cgwb is offlined (in
other words a memcg and/or a blkcg is deleted by a user). In the future
an additional attempt scheduled by a timer can be implemented.

Currently only a single inode can be switched to another writeback
structure at once. That means to switch an inode a separate
inode_switch_wbs_context structure must be allocated, and a separate rcu
callback and work must be scheduled.
It's fine for the existing ad-hoc switching, which is not happening that
often, but sub-optimal for massive switching required in order to release
a writeback structure. To prepare for it, let's add a support for
switching multiple inodes at once.
Instead of containing a single inode pointer, inode_switch_wbs_context
will contain a NULL-terminated array of inode pointers.
inode_do_switch_wbs() will be called for each inode.
To optimize the locking bdi->wb_switch_rwsem, old_wb's and new_wb's
list_locks will be acquired and released only once altogether for all
inodes. wb_wakeup() will be also be called only once. Instead of calling
wb_put(old_wb) after each successful switch, wb_put_many() is introduced
and used.

Currently there is no way to iterate over inodes attached to a specific
cgwb structure. It limits the ability to efficiently reclaim the
writeback structure itself and associated memory and block cgroup
structures without scanning all inodes belonging to a sb, which can be
prohibitively expensive.
While dirty/in-active-writeback an inode belongs to one of the
bdi_writeback's io lists: b_dirty, b_io, b_more_io and b_dirty_time. Once
cleaned up, it's removed from all io lists. So the inode->i_io_list can
be reused to maintain the list of inodes, attached to a bdi_writeback
structure.
This patch introduces a new wb->b_attached list, which contains all inodes
which were dirty at least once and are attached to the given cgwb. Inodes
attached to the root bdi_writeback structures are never placed on such
list. The following patch will use this list to try to release cgwbs
structures more efficiently.

Inode's wb switching requires two steps divided by an RCU grace period.
It's currently implemented as an RCU callback inode_switch_wbs_rcu_fn(),
which schedules inode_switch_wbs_work_fn() as a work.
Switching to the rcu_work API allows to do the same in a cleaner and

isw_nr_in_flight is used to determine whether the inode switch queue
should be flushed from the umount path. Currently it's increased after
grabbing an inode and even scheduling the switch work. It means the
umount path can walk past cleanup_offline_cgwb() with active inode
references, which can result in a "Busy inodes after unmount." message and
use-after-free issues (with inode->i_sb which gets freed).
Fix it by incrementing isw_nr_in_flight before doing anything with the
inode and decrementing in the case when switching wasn't scheduled.
The problem hasn't yet been seen in the real life and was discovered by
Jan Kara by looking into the code.

Patch series "cgroup, blkcg: prevent dirty inodes to pin dying memory cgroups", v9.
When an inode is getting dirty for the first time it's associated with a
wb structure (see __inode_attach_wb()). It can later be switched to
another wb (if e.g. some other cgroup is writing a lot of data to the
same inode), but otherwise stays attached to the original wb until being
reclaimed.
The problem is that the wb structure holds a reference to the original
memory and blkcg cgroups. So if an inode has been dirty once and later is
actively used in read-only mode, it has a good chance to pin down the
original memory and blkcg cgroups forever. This is often the case with
services bringing data for other services, e.g. updating some rpm
packages.
In the real life it becomes a problem due to a large size of the memcg
structure, which can easily be 1000x larger than an inode. Also a really
large number of dying cgroups can raise different scalability issues, e.g.
making the memory reclaim costly and less effective.
To solve the problem inodes should be eventually detached from the
corresponding writeback structure. It's inefficient to do it after every
writeback completion. Instead it can be done whenever the original memory
cgroup is offlined and writeback structure is getting killed. Scanning
over a (potentially long) list of inodes and detach them from the
writeback structure can take quite some time. To avoid scanning all
inodes, attached inodes are kept on a new list (b_attached). To make it
less noticeable to a user, the scanning and switching is performed from a
work context.
Big thanks to Jan Kara, Dennis Zhou, Hillf Danton and Tejun Heo for their
ideas and contribution to this patchset.
This patch (of 8):
If an inode's state has I_WILL_FREE flag set, the inode will be freed
soon, so there is no point in trying to switch the inode to a different
cgwb.
I_WILL_FREE was ignored since the introduction of the inode switching, so
it looks like it doesn't lead to any noticeable issues for a user. This
is why the patch is not intended for a stable backport.

->dirty_inode is now only called when I_DIRTY_INODE (I_DIRTY_SYNC and/or
I_DIRTY_DATASYNC) is set. However it may still be passed other dirty
flags at the same time, provided that these other flags happened to be
passed to __mark_inode_dirty() at the same time as I_DIRTY_INODE.
This doesn't make sense because there is no reason for filesystems to
care about these extra flags. Nor are filesystems notified about all
updates to these other flags.
Therefore, mask the flags before passing them to ->dirty_inode.
Also properly document ->dirty_inode in vfs.rst.

There is no need to call ->dirty_inode for lazytime timestamp updates
(i.e. for __mark_inode_dirty(I_DIRTY_TIME)), since by the definition of
lazytime, filesystems must ignore these updates. Filesystems only need
to care about the updated timestamps when they expire.
Therefore, only call ->dirty_inode when I_DIRTY_INODE is set.

When lazytime is enabled and an inode is being written due to its
in-memory updated timestamps having expired, either due to a sync() or
syncfs() system call or due to dirtytime_expire_interval having elapsed,
the VFS needs to inform the filesystem so that the filesystem can copy
the inode's timestamps out to the on-disk data structures.
This is done by __writeback_single_inode() calling
mark_inode_dirty_sync(), which then calls ->dirty_inode(I_DIRTY_SYNC).
However, this occurs after __writeback_single_inode() has already
cleared the dirty flags from ->i_state. This causes two bugs:
- mark_inode_dirty_sync() redirties the inode, causing it to remain
dirty. This wastefully causes the inode to be written twice. But
more importantly, it breaks cases where sync_filesystem() is expected
to clean dirty inodes. This includes the FS_IOC_REMOVE_ENCRYPTION_KEY
ioctl (as reported at
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200306004555.GB225345@gmail.com), as well
as possibly filesystem freezing (freeze_super()).
- Since ->i_state doesn't contain I_DIRTY_TIME when ->dirty_inode() is
called from __writeback_single_inode() for lazytime expiration,
xfs_fs_dirty_inode() ignores the notification. (XFS only cares about
lazytime expirations, and it assumes that i_state will contain
I_DIRTY_TIME during those.) Therefore, lazy timestamps aren't
persisted by sync(), syncfs(), or dirtytime_expire_interval on XFS.
Fix this by moving the call to mark_inode_dirty_sync() to earlier in
__writeback_single_inode(), before the dirty flags are cleared from
i_state. This makes filesystems be properly notified of the timestamp
expiration, and it avoids incorrectly redirtying the inode.
This fixes xfstest generic/580 (which tests
FS_IOC_REMOVE_ENCRYPTION_KEY) when run on ext4 or f2fs with lazytime
enabled. It also fixes the new lazytime xfstest I've proposed, which
reproduces the above-mentioned XFS bug
(https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210105005818.92978-1-ebiggers@kernel.org).
Alternatively, we could call ->dirty_inode(I_DIRTY_SYNC) directly. But
due to the introduction of I_SYNC_QUEUED, mark_inode_dirty_sync() is the
right thing to do because mark_inode_dirty_sync() now knows not to move
the inode to a writeback list if it is currently queued for sync.

because we are syncing or because of age). However we can detect this

round whether there's more work to be done. Fix the problem by using
sync(2) start time is inode expiry value when processing b_dirty_time
list similarly as for ordinarily dirtied inodes. This requires some
refactoring of older_than_this handling which simplifies the code

Inode's i_io_list list head is used to attach inode to several different
lists - wb->{b_dirty, b_dirty_time, b_io, b_more_io}. When flush worker
prepares a list of inodes to writeback e.g. for sync(2), it moves inodes
to b_io list. Thus it is critical for sync(2) data integrity guarantees
that inode is not requeued to any other writeback list when inode is
queued for processing by flush worker. That's the reason why
writeback_single_inode() does not touch i_io_list (unless the inode is
completely clean) and why __mark_inode_dirty() does not touch i_io_list
if I_SYNC flag is set.
However there are two flaws in the current logic:
1) When inode has only I_DIRTY_TIME set but it is already queued in b_io
list due to sync(2), concurrent __mark_inode_dirty(inode, I_DIRTY_SYNC)
can still move inode back to b_dirty list resulting in skipping
writeback of inode time stamps during sync(2).
2) When inode is on b_dirty_time list and writeback_single_inode() races
with __mark_inode_dirty() like:
writeback_single_inode() __mark_inode_dirty(inode, I_DIRTY_PAGES)
inode->i_state |= I_SYNC
__writeback_single_inode()
inode->i_state |= I_DIRTY_PAGES;
if (inode->i_state & I_SYNC)
bail
if (!(inode->i_state & I_DIRTY_ALL))
- not true so nothing done
We end up with I_DIRTY_PAGES inode on b_dirty_time list and thus
standard background writeback will not writeback this inode leading to
possible dirty throttling stalls etc. (thanks to Martijn Coenen for this
analysis).
Fix these problems by tracking whether inode is queued in b_io or
b_more_io lists in a new I_SYNC_QUEUED flag. When this flag is set, we
know flush worker has queued inode and we should not touch i_io_list.
On the other hand we also know that once flush worker is done with the
inode it will requeue the inode to appropriate dirty list. When
I_SYNC_QUEUED is not set, __mark_inode_dirty() can (and must) move inode
to appropriate dirty list.

After an NFS page has been written it is considered "unstable" until a
COMMIT request succeeds. If the COMMIT fails, the page will be
re-written.
These "unstable" pages are currently accounted as "reclaimable", either
in WB_RECLAIMABLE, or in NR_UNSTABLE_NFS which is included in a
'reclaimable' count. This might have made sense when sending the COMMIT
required a separate action by the VFS/MM (e.g. releasepage() used to
send a COMMIT). However now that all writes generated by ->writepages()
will automatically be followed by a COMMIT (since commit 919e3bd9a8
("NFS: Ensure we commit after writeback is complete")) it makes more
sense to treat them as writeback pages.
So this patch removes NR_UNSTABLE_NFS and accounts unstable pages in
NR_WRITEBACK and WB_WRITEBACK.
A particular effect of this change is that when
wb_check_background_flush() calls wb_over_bg_threshold(), the latter
will report 'true' a lot less often as the 'unstable' pages are no
longer considered 'dirty' (as there is nothing that writeback can do
about them anyway).
Currently wb_check_background_flush() will trigger writeback to NFS even
when there are relatively few dirty pages (if there are lots of unstable
pages), this can result in small writes going to the server (10s of
Kilobytes rather than a Megabyte) which hurts throughput. With this
patch, there are fewer writes which are each larger on average.
Where the NR_UNSTABLE_NFS count was included in statistics
virtual-files, the entry is retained, but the value is hard-coded as
zero. static trace points and warning printks which mentioned this
counter no longer report it.

Without memcg, there is a one-to-one mapping between the bdi and
bdi_writeback structures. In this world, things are fairly
straightforward; the first thing bdi_unregister() does is to shutdown
the bdi_writeback structure (or wb), and part of that writeback ensures
that no other work queued against the wb, and that the wb is fully
drained.
With memcg, however, there is a one-to-many relationship between the bdi
and bdi_writeback structures; that is, there are multiple wb objects
which can all point to a single bdi. There is a refcount which prevents
the bdi object from being released (and hence, unregistered). So in
theory, the bdi_unregister() *should* only get called once its refcount
goes to zero (bdi_put will drop the refcount, and when it is zero,
release_bdi gets called, which calls bdi_unregister).
Unfortunately, del_gendisk() in block/gen_hd.c never got the memo about
the Brave New memcg World, and calls bdi_unregister directly. It does
this without informing the file system, or the memcg code, or anything
else. This causes the root wb associated with the bdi to be
unregistered, but none of the memcg-specific wb's are shutdown. So when
one of these wb's are woken up to do delayed work, they try to
dereference their wb->bdi->dev to fetch the device name, but
unfortunately bdi->dev is now NULL, thanks to the bdi_unregister()
called by del_gendisk(). As a result, *boom*.
Fortunately, it looks like the rest of the writeback path is perfectly
happy with bdi->dev and bdi->owner being NULL, so the simplest fix is to
create a bdi_dev_name() function which can handle bdi->dev being NULL.
This also allows us to bulletproof the writeback tracepoints to prevent
them from dereferencing a NULL pointer and crashing the kernel if one is
tracing with memcg's enabled, and an iSCSI device dies or a USB storage
stick is pulled.
The most common way of triggering this will be hotremoval of a device
while writeback with memcg enabled is going on. It was triggering
several times a day in a heavily loaded production environment.

cgroup writeback tries to refresh the associated wb immediately if the
current wb is dead. This is to avoid keeping issuing IOs on the stale
wb after memcg - blkcg association has changed (ie. when blkcg got
disabled / enabled higher up in the hierarchy).
Unfortunately, the logic gets triggered spuriously on inodes which are
associated with dead cgroups. When the logic is triggered on dead
cgroups, the attempt fails only after doing quite a bit of work
allocating and initializing a new wb.
While c3aab9a0bd ("mm/filemap.c: don't initiate writeback if mapping
has no dirty pages") alleviated the issue significantly as it now only
triggers when the inode has dirty pages. However, the condition can
still be triggered before the inode is switched to a different cgroup
and the logic simply doesn't make sense.
Skip the immediate switching if the associated memcg is dying.

As inode wb switching may make sync(2) miss some inodes, they're
synchronized using wb_switch_rwsem so that no wb switching happens
while sync(2) is in progress. In addition to synchronizing the actual
switching, the rwsem is also used to prevent queueing new switch
attempts while sync(2) is in progress. This is to avoid queueing too
many instances while the rwsem is held by sync(2). Unfortunately,
this is too agressive and can block wb switching for a long time if
sync(2) is frequent.
The goal is avoiding expolding the number of scheduled switches, not
avoiding scheduling anything. Let's use wb_switch_rwsem only for
synchronizing the actual switching and sync(2) and use
isw_nr_in_flight instead for limiting the maximum number of scheduled
switches. The limit is set to 1024 which should be more than enough
while still avoiding extreme situations.

This is unnecessarily aggressive. The detection logic uses 16 history

and if this happens while wb_shutdown() is waiting in:
flush_delayed_work(&wb->dwork);
the dwork can get executed after wb_shutdown() has finished and
bdi_unregister() has cleared wb->bdi->dev.
Make wb_workfn() use wakeup_wb() for requeueing the work which takes all
the necessary precautions against racing with bdi unregistration.

lock_page_memcg()/unlock_page_memcg() use spin_lock_irqsave/restore() if
the page's memcg is undergoing move accounting, which occurs when a
process leaves its memcg for a new one that has
memory.move_charge_at_immigrate set.
unlocked_inode_to_wb_begin,end() use spin_lock_irq/spin_unlock_irq() if
the given inode is switching writeback domains. Switches occur when
enough writes are issued from a new domain.
This existing pattern is thus suspicious:
lock_page_memcg(page);
unlocked_inode_to_wb_begin(inode, &locked);
...
unlocked_inode_to_wb_end(inode, locked);
unlock_page_memcg(page);
If both inode switch and process memcg migration are both in-flight then
unlocked_inode_to_wb_end() will unconditionally enable interrupts while
still holding the lock_page_memcg() irq spinlock. This suggests the
possibility of deadlock if an interrupt occurs before unlock_page_memcg().

Due to configuration limitations this deadlock is not currently possible
because we don't mix cgroup writeback (a cgroupv2 feature) and
memory.move_charge_at_immigrate (a cgroupv1 feature).
If the kernel is hacked to always claim inode switching and memcg
moving_account, then this script triggers lockup in less than a minute:
cd /mnt/cgroup/memory
mkdir a b
echo 1 > a/memory.move_charge_at_immigrate
echo 1 > b/memory.move_charge_at_immigrate
(
echo $BASHPID > a/cgroup.procs
while true; do
dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/big bs=1M count=256
done
) &
while true; do
sync
done &
sleep 1h &
SLEEP=$!
while true; do
echo $SLEEP > a/cgroup.procs
echo $SLEEP > b/cgroup.procs
done
The deadlock does not seem possible, so it's debatable if there's any
reason to modify the kernel. I suggest we should to prevent future
surprises. And Wang Long said "this deadlock occurs three times in our
environment", so there's more reason to apply this, even to stable.
Stable 4.4 has minor conflicts applying this patch. For a clean 4.4 patch

Remove the address_space ->tree_lock and use the xa_lock newly added to
the radix_tree_root. Rename the address_space ->page_tree to ->i_pages,
since we don't really care that it's a tree.

This is a pure automated search-and-replace of the internal kernel
superblock flags.
The s_flags are now called SB_*, with the names and the values for the
moment mirroring the MS_* flags that they're equivalent to.
Note how the MS_xyz flags are the ones passed to the mount system call,
while the SB_xyz flags are what we then use in sb->s_flags.
The script to do this was:
# places to look in; re security/*: it generally should *not* be
# touched (that stuff parses mount(2) arguments directly), but
# there are two places where we really deal with superblock flags.
