xfs: fix efi/efd error handling to avoid fs shutdown hangs
Freeing an extent in XFS involves logging an EFI (extent free
intention), freeing the actual extent, and logging an EFD (extent
free done). The EFI object is created with a reference count of 2:
one for the current transaction and one for the subsequently created
EFD. Under normal circumstances, the first reference is dropped when
the EFI is unpinned and the second reference is dropped when the EFD
is committed to the on-disk log.
In event of errors or filesystem shutdown, there are various
potential cleanup scenarios depending on the state of the EFI/EFD.
The cleanup scenarios are confusing and racy, as demonstrated by the
following test sequence:
# mount $dev $mnt
# fsstress -d $mnt -n 99999 -p 16 -z -f fallocate=1 \
-f punch=1 -f creat=1 -f unlink=1 &
# sleep 5
# killall -9 fsstress; wait
# godown -f $mnt
# umount
... in which the final umount can hang due to the AIL being pinned
indefinitely by one or more EFI items. This can occur due to several
conditions. For example, if the shutdown occurs after the EFI is
committed to the on-disk log and the EFD committed to the CIL, but
before the EFD committed to the log, the EFD iop_committed() abort
handler does not drop its reference to the EFI. Alternatively,
manual error injection in the xfs_bmap_finish() codepath shows that
if an error occurs after the EFI transaction is committed but before
the EFD is constructed and logged, the EFI is never released from
the AIL.
Update the EFI/EFD item handling code to use a more straightforward
and reliable approach to error handling. If an error occurs after
the EFI transaction is committed and before the EFD is constructed,
release the EFI explicitly from xfs_bmap_finish(). If the EFI
transaction is cancelled, release the EFI in the unlock handler.
Once the EFD is constructed, it is responsible for releasing the EFI
under any circumstances (including whether the EFI item aborts due
to log I/O error). Update the EFD item handlers to release the EFI
if the transaction is cancelled or aborts due to log I/O error.
Finally, update xfs_bmap_finish() to log at least one EFD extent to
the transaction before xfs_free_extent() errors are handled to
ensure the transaction is dirty and EFD item error handling is
triggered.
