When using the fast file fsync code path we can miss the fact that new
writes happened since the last file fsync and therefore return without
waiting for the IO to finish and write the new extents to the fsync log.

Here's an example scenario where the fsync will miss the fact that new
file data exists that wasn't yet durably persisted:

1. fs_info-&gt;last_trans_committed == N - 1 and current transaction is
   transaction N (fs_info-&gt;generation == N);

2. do a buffered write;

3. fsync our inode, this clears our inode's full sync flag, starts
   an ordered extent and waits for it to complete - when it completes
   at btrfs_finish_ordered_io(), the inode's last_trans is set to the
   value N (via btrfs_update_inode_fallback -&gt; btrfs_update_inode -&gt;
   btrfs_set_inode_last_trans);

4. transaction N is committed, so fs_info-&gt;last_trans_committed is now
   set to the value N and fs_info-&gt;generation remains with the value N;

5. do another buffered write, when this happens btrfs_file_write_iter
   sets our inode's last_trans to the value N + 1 (that is
   fs_info-&gt;generation + 1 == N + 1);

6. transaction N + 1 is started and fs_info-&gt;generation now has the
   value N + 1;

7. transaction N + 1 is committed, so fs_info-&gt;last_trans_committed
   is set to the value N + 1;

8. fsync our inode - because it doesn't have the full sync flag set,
   we only start the ordered extent, we don't wait for it to complete
   (only in a later phase) therefore its last_trans field has the
   value N + 1 set previously by btrfs_file_write_iter(), and so we
   have:

       inode-&gt;last_trans &lt;= fs_info-&gt;last_trans_committed
           (N + 1)              (N + 1)

   Which made us not log the last buffered write and exit the fsync
   handler immediately, returning success (0) to user space and resulting
   in data loss after a crash.

This can actually be triggered deterministically and the following excerpt
from a testcase I made for xfstests triggers the issue. It moves a dummy
file across directories and then fsyncs the old parent directory - this
is just to trigger a transaction commit, so moving files around isn't
directly related to the issue but it was chosen because running 'sync' for
example does more than just committing the current transaction, as it
flushes/waits for all file data to be persisted. The issue can also happen
at random periods, since the transaction kthread periodicaly commits the
current transaction (about every 30 seconds by default).
The body of the test is:

  _scratch_mkfs &gt;&gt; $seqres.full 2&gt;&amp;1
  _init_flakey
  _mount_flakey

  # Create our main test file 'foo', the one we check for data loss.
  # By doing an fsync against our file, it makes btrfs clear the 'needs_full_sync'
  # bit from its flags (btrfs inode specific flags).
  $XFS_IO_PROG -f -c "pwrite -S 0xaa 0 8K" \
                  -c "fsync" $SCRATCH_MNT/foo | _filter_xfs_io

  # Now create one other file and 2 directories. We will move this second file
  # from one directory to the other later because it forces btrfs to commit its
  # currently open transaction if we fsync the old parent directory. This is
  # necessary to trigger the data loss bug that affected btrfs.
  mkdir $SCRATCH_MNT/testdir_1
  touch $SCRATCH_MNT/testdir_1/bar
  mkdir $SCRATCH_MNT/testdir_2

  # Make sure everything is durably persisted.
  sync

  # Write more 8Kb of data to our file.
  $XFS_IO_PROG -c "pwrite -S 0xbb 8K 8K" $SCRATCH_MNT/foo | _filter_xfs_io

  # Move our 'bar' file into a new directory.
  mv $SCRATCH_MNT/testdir_1/bar $SCRATCH_MNT/testdir_2/bar

  # Fsync our first directory. Because it had a file moved into some other
  # directory, this made btrfs commit the currently open transaction. This is
  # a condition necessary to trigger the data loss bug.
  $XFS_IO_PROG -c "fsync" $SCRATCH_MNT/testdir_1

  # Now fsync our main test file. If the fsync succeeds, we expect the 8Kb of
  # data we wrote previously to be persisted and available if a crash happens.
  # This did not happen with btrfs, because of the transaction commit that
  # happened when we fsynced the parent directory.
  $XFS_IO_PROG -c "fsync" $SCRATCH_MNT/foo

  # Simulate a crash/power loss.
  _load_flakey_table $FLAKEY_DROP_WRITES
  _unmount_flakey

  _load_flakey_table $FLAKEY_ALLOW_WRITES
  _mount_flakey

  # Now check that all data we wrote before are available.
  echo "File content after log replay:"
  od -t x1 $SCRATCH_MNT/foo

  status=0
  exit

The expected golden output for the test, which is what we get with this
fix applied (or when running against ext3/4 and xfs), is:

  wrote 8192/8192 bytes at offset 0
  XXX Bytes, X ops; XX:XX:XX.X (XXX YYY/sec and XXX ops/sec)
  wrote 8192/8192 bytes at offset 8192
  XXX Bytes, X ops; XX:XX:XX.X (XXX YYY/sec and XXX ops/sec)
  File content after log replay:
  0000000 aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa
  *
  0020000 bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb
  *
  0040000

Without this fix applied, the output shows the test file does not have
the second 8Kb extent that we successfully fsynced:

  wrote 8192/8192 bytes at offset 0
  XXX Bytes, X ops; XX:XX:XX.X (XXX YYY/sec and XXX ops/sec)
  wrote 8192/8192 bytes at offset 8192
  XXX Bytes, X ops; XX:XX:XX.X (XXX YYY/sec and XXX ops/sec)
  File content after log replay:
  0000000 aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa
  *
  0020000

So fix this by skipping the fsync only if we're doing a full sync and
if the inode's last_trans is &lt;= fs_info-&gt;last_trans_committed, or if
the inode is already in the log. Also remove setting the inode's
last_trans in btrfs_file_write_iter since it's useless/unreliable.

Also because btrfs_file_write_iter no longer sets inode-&gt;last_trans to
fs_info-&gt;generation + 1, don't set last_trans to 0 if we bail out and don't
bail out if last_trans is 0, otherwise something as simple as the following
example wouldn't log the second write on the last fsync:

  1. write to file

  2. fsync file

  3. fsync file
       |--&gt; btrfs_inode_in_log() returns true and it set last_trans to 0

  4. write to file
       |--&gt; btrfs_file_write_iter() no longers sets last_trans, so it
            remained with a value of 0
  5. fsync
       |--&gt; inode-&gt;last_trans == 0, so it bails out without logging the
            second write

A test case for xfstests will be sent soon.

So fix this by skipping the fsync only if we're doing a full sync and

When punching a file hole if we endup only zeroing parts of a page,
because the start offset isn't a multiple of the sector size or the
start offset and length fall within the same page, we were not updating
the inode item. This prevented an fsync from doing anything, if no other
file changes happened in the current transaction, because the fields
in btrfs_inode used to check if the inode needs to be fsync'ed weren't
updated.

This issue is easy to reproduce and the following excerpt from the
xfstest case I made shows how to trigger it:

  _scratch_mkfs &gt;&gt; $seqres.full 2&gt;&amp;1
  _init_flakey
  _mount_flakey

  # Create our test file.
  $XFS_IO_PROG -f -c "pwrite -S 0x22 -b 16K 0 16K" \
      $SCRATCH_MNT/foo | _filter_xfs_io

  # Fsync the file, this makes btrfs update some btrfs inode specific fields
  # that are used to track if the inode needs to be written/updated to the fsync
  # log or not. After this fsync, the new values for those fields indicate that
  # a subsequent fsync does not need to touch the fsync log.
  $XFS_IO_PROG -c "fsync" $SCRATCH_MNT/foo

  # Force a commit of the current transaction. After this point, any operation
  # that modifies the data or metadata of our file, should update those fields in
  # the btrfs inode with values that make the next fsync operation write to the
  # fsync log.
  sync

  # Punch a hole in our file. This small range affects only 1 page.
  # This made the btrfs hole punching implementation write only some zeroes in
  # one page, but it did not update the btrfs inode fields used to determine if
  # the next fsync needs to write to the fsync log.
  $XFS_IO_PROG -c "fpunch 8000 4K" $SCRATCH_MNT/foo

  # Another variation of the previously mentioned case.
  $XFS_IO_PROG -c "fpunch 15000 100" $SCRATCH_MNT/foo

  # Now fsync the file. This was a no-operation because the previous hole punch
  # operation didn't update the inode's fields mentioned before, so they remained
  # with the values they had after the first fsync - that is, they indicate that
  # it is not needed to write to fsync log.
  $XFS_IO_PROG -c "fsync" $SCRATCH_MNT/foo

  echo "File content before:"
  od -t x1 $SCRATCH_MNT/foo

  # Simulate a crash/power loss.
  _load_flakey_table $FLAKEY_DROP_WRITES
  _unmount_flakey

  # Enable writes and mount the fs. This makes the fsync log replay code run.
  _load_flakey_table $FLAKEY_ALLOW_WRITES
  _mount_flakey

  # Because the last fsync didn't do anything, here the file content matched what
  # it was after the first fsync, before the holes were punched, and not what it
  # was after the holes were punched.
  echo "File content after:"
  od -t x1 $SCRATCH_MNT/foo

This issue has been around since 2012, when the punch hole implementation
was added, commit 2aaa66558172 ("Btrfs: add hole punching").

A test case for xfstests follows soon.

was added, commit 2aaa66558172 ("Btrfs: add hole punching").

A test case for xfstests follows soon.

Pull backing device changes from Jens Axboe:
 "This contains a cleanup of how the backing device is handled, in
  preparation for a rework of the life time rules.  In this part, the
  most important change is to split the unrelated nommu mmap flags from
  it, but also removing a backing_dev_info pointer from the
  address_space (and inode), and a cleanup of other various minor bits.

  Christoph did all the work here, I just fixed an oops with pages that
  have a swap backing.  Arnd fixed a missing export, and Oleg killed the
  lustre backing_dev_info from staging.  Last patch was from Al,
  unexporting parts that are now no longer needed outside"

* 'for-3.20/bdi' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block:
  Make super_blocks and sb_lock static
  mtd: export new mtd_mmap_capabilities
  fs: make inode_to_bdi() handle NULL inode
  staging/lustre/llite: get rid of backing_dev_info
  fs: remove default_backing_dev_info
  fs: don't reassign dirty inodes to default_backing_dev_info
  nfs: don't call bdi_unregister
  ceph: remove call to bdi_unregister
  fs: remove mapping-&gt;backing_dev_info
  fs: export inode_to_bdi and use it in favor of mapping-&gt;backing_dev_info
  nilfs2: set up s_bdi like the generic mount_bdev code
  block_dev: get bdev inode bdi directly from the block device
  block_dev: only write bdev inode on close
  fs: introduce f_op-&gt;mmap_capabilities for nommu mmap support
  fs: kill BDI_CAP_SWAP_BACKED
  fs: deduplicate noop_backing_dev_info

<title>Btrfs: fix snapshot inconsistency after a file write followed by truncate</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.toradex.cn/cgit/linux-toradex.git/commit/?id=9ea24bbe17a29f937e7f48e4b15fd52e89e9d386'/>
<id>9ea24bbe17a29f937e7f48e4b15fd52e89e9d386</id>
<content type='text'>
If right after starting the snapshot creation ioctl we perform a write against a
file followed by a truncate, with both operations increasing the file's size, we
can get a snapshot tree that reflects a state of the source subvolume's tree where
the file truncation happened but the write operation didn't. This leaves a gap
between 2 file extent items of the inode, which makes btrfs' fsck complain about it.

For example, if we perform the following file operations:

    $ mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/vdd
    $ mount /dev/vdd /mnt
    $ xfs_io -f \
          -c "pwrite -S 0xaa -b 32K 0 32K" \
          -c "fsync" \
          -c "pwrite -S 0xbb -b 32770 16K 32770" \
          -c "truncate 90123" \
          /mnt/foobar

and the snapshot creation ioctl was just called before the second write, we often
can get the following inode items in the snapshot's btree:

        item 120 key (257 INODE_ITEM 0) itemoff 7987 itemsize 160
                inode generation 146 transid 7 size 90123 block group 0 mode 100600 links 1 uid 0 gid 0 rdev 0 flags 0x0
        item 121 key (257 INODE_REF 256) itemoff 7967 itemsize 20
                inode ref index 282 namelen 10 name: foobar
        item 122 key (257 EXTENT_DATA 0) itemoff 7914 itemsize 53
                extent data disk byte 1104855040 nr 32768
                extent data offset 0 nr 32768 ram 32768
                extent compression 0
        item 123 key (257 EXTENT_DATA 53248) itemoff 7861 itemsize 53
                extent data disk byte 0 nr 0
                extent data offset 0 nr 40960 ram 40960
                extent compression 0

There's a file range, corresponding to the interval [32K; ALIGN(16K + 32770, 4096)[
for which there's no file extent item covering it. This is because the file write
and file truncate operations happened both right after the snapshot creation ioctl
called btrfs_start_delalloc_inodes(), which means we didn't start and wait for the
ordered extent that matches the write and, in btrfs_setsize(), we were able to call
btrfs_cont_expand() before being able to commit the current transaction in the
snapshot creation ioctl. So this made it possibe to insert the hole file extent
item in the source subvolume (which represents the region added by the truncate)
right before the transaction commit from the snapshot creation ioctl.

Btrfs' fsck tool complains about such cases with a message like the following:

    "root 331 inode 257 errors 100, file extent discount"

&gt;From a user perspective, the expectation when a snapshot is created while those
file operations are being performed is that the snapshot will have a file that
either:

1) is empty
2) only the first write was captured
3) only the 2 writes were captured
4) both writes and the truncation were captured

But never capture a state where only the first write and the truncation were
captured (since the second write was performed before the truncation).

A test case for xfstests follows.

For compressed writes, after doing the first filemap_fdatawrite_range() we
don't get the pages tagged for writeback immediately. Instead we create
a workqueue task, which is run by other kthread, and keep the pages locked.
That other kthread compresses data, creates the respective ordered extent/s,
tags the pages for writeback and unlocks them. Therefore we need a second
call to filemap_fdatawrite_range() if we have compressed writes, as this
second call will wait for the pages to become unlocked, then see they became
tagged for writeback and finally wait for the writeback to finish.

There are the branch hints that obviously depend on the data being
processed, the CPU predictor will do better job according to the actual
load. It also does not make sense to use the hints in slow paths that do
a lot of other operations like locking, waiting or IO.
