Commits starting at 77c1a08 introduced a multiple segment support
to xfs_buf. xfs_trans_buf_item_match() could not find a multi-segment
buffer in the transaction because it was looking at the single segment
block number rather than the multi-segment b_maps[0].bm.bn. This
results on a recursive buffer lock that can never be satisfied.
This patch:
1) Changed the remaining b_map accesses to be b_maps[0] accesses.
2) Renames the single segment b_map structure to __b_map to avoid
future confusion.

There is an race condition between umounting f2fs and reading f2fs/status, which
results in oops.
Fox example:
Thread A Thread B

f2fs_destroy_stats() { stat_show() {
list_for_each_entry_safe(&f2fs_stat_list)
list_del(&si->stat_list);
mutex_lock(&si->stat_lock);
si->sbi = NULL;
mutex_unlock(&si->stat_lock);
kfree(sbi->stat_info);
} mutex_lock(&si->stat_lock) <- si is gone.
...
}
Solution with a global lock: f2fs_stat_mutex:
Thread A Thread B
umount f2fs cat f2fs/status
f2fs_destroy_stats() { stat_show() {
mutex_lock(&f2fs_stat_mutex);
list_del(&si->stat_list);

Signed-off-by: Jaegeuk Kim <jaegeuk.kim@samsung.com>
Let's consider the usage of blk_plug in f2fs_write_data_pages().
We can come up with the two issues: lock contention and task awareness.
1. Merging bios prior to grabing "queue lock"
The f2fs merges consecutive IOs in the file system level before
submitting any bios, which is similar with the back merge by the
plugging mechanism in attempt_plug_merge(). Both of them need to acquire
no queue lock.
2. Merging policy with respect to tasks
The f2fs merges IOs as much as possible regardless of tasks, while
blk-plugging is conducted on a basis of tasks. As we can understand
there are trade-offs, f2fs tries to maximize the write performance with
well-merged bios.
As a result, if f2fs produces many consecutive but separated bios in
writepages(), it would be good to use blk-plugging since f2fs would be
able to avoid queue lock contention in the block layer by merging them.
But, f2fs merges IOs and submit one bio, which means that there are not
much chances to merge bios by attempt_plug_merge().
However, f2fs has already been used blk_plug by triggering generic_writepages()
in f2fs_write_data_pages().
So to make the overall code consistency, I'd like to remove blk_plug there.

Andrew Morton pointed this out a month ago, and then I completely forgot
about it.
If we read a partial last page of a block device, we will zero out the
end of the page, but since that page can then be mapped into user space,
we should also make sure to flush the cache on architectures that have
virtual caches. We have the flush_dcache_page() function for this, so
use it.
Now, in practice this really never matters, because nobody sane uses
virtual caches to begin with, and they largely exist on old broken RISC
arhitectures.
And even if you did run on one of those obsolete CPU's, the whole "mmap
and access the last partial page of a block device" behavior probably
doesn't actually exist. The normal IO functions (read/write) will never
see the zeroed-out part of the page that migth not be coherent in the
cache, because they honor the size of the device.
So I'm marking this for stable (3.7 only), but I'm not sure anybody will
ever care.

Running xfstests 83 in a loop would sometimes fail the fsck. This happens
because if we invalidate a page that already has an ordered extent setup for
it we will complete the ordered extent ourselves, assuming that the truncate
will clean everything up. The problem with this is there is plenty of time
for the truncate to fail after we've done this work. So to fix this we need
to add the orphan item first to make sure the cleanup gets done properly,
and then we can truncate the pagecache and all that stuff and be safe. This
fixes the btrfsck failures I was seeing while running 83 in a loop. Thanks,

bio completion didn't kick block_bio_complete TP. Only dm was
explicitly triggering the TP on IO completion. This makes
block_bio_complete TP useless for tracers which want to know about
bios, and all other bio based drivers skip generating blktrace
completion events.
This patch makes all bio completions via bio_endio() generate
block_bio_complete TP.
* Explicit trace_block_bio_complete() invocation removed from dm and
the trace point is unexported.
* @rq dropped from trace_block_bio_complete(). bios may fly around
w/o queue associated. Verifying and accessing the assocaited queue
belongs to TP probes.
* blktrace now gets both request and bio completions. Make it ignore
bio completions if request completion path is happening.
This makes all bio based drivers generate blktrace completion events
properly and makes the block_bio_complete TP actually useful.
v2: With this change, block_bio_complete TP could be invoked on sg
commands which have bio's with %NULL bi_bdev. Update TP
assignment code to check whether bio->bi_bdev is %NULL before

Upon further digging, the tag found by xfs_dir2_data_unused_tag_p(dup)
contained "2" and not the proper offset, and I found that this value was
changed after the memmoves under "Use a stale leaf for our new entry."
in xfs_dir2_block_addname(), i.e.
memmove(&blp[mid + 1], &blp[mid],
(highstale - mid) * sizeof(*blp));
overwrote it.
What has happened is that the previous call to xfs_dir2_block_compact()
has rearranged things; it changes btp->count as well as the
blp array. So after we make that call, we must recalculate the
proper pointer to the leaf entries by making another call to
xfs_dir2_block_leaf_p().

writeback_inodes_sb(_nr)_if_idle() is re-implemented by replacing down_read()
with down_read_trylock() because
- If ->s_umount is write locked, then the sb is not idle. That is
writeback_inodes_sb(_nr)_if_idle() needn't wait for the lock.
- writeback_inodes_sb(_nr)_if_idle() grabs s_umount lock when it want to start
writeback, it may bring us deadlock problem when doing umount. In order to
fix the problem, ext4 and btrfs implemented their own writeback functions
instead of writeback_inodes_sb(_nr)_if_idle(), but it introduced the redundant

This is "allowed" by the C standard, assuming i++ never overflows,
because signed integer overflow is undefined behavior. This

[Issue]
When pstore is in panic and emergency-restart paths, it may be blocked
in those paths because it simply takes spin_lock.
This is an example scenario which pstore may hang up in a panic path:
- cpuA grabs psinfo->buf_lock
- cpuB panics and calls smp_send_stop
- smp_send_stop sends IRQ to cpuA
- after 1 second, cpuB gives up on cpuA and sends an NMI instead
- cpuA is now in an NMI handler while still holding buf_lock
- cpuB is deadlocked
This case may happen if a firmware has a bug and
cpuA is stuck talking with it more than one second.
Also, this is a similar scenario in an emergency-restart path:
- cpuA grabs psinfo->buf_lock and stucks in a firmware
- cpuB kicks emergency-restart via either sysrq-b or hangcheck timer.
And then, cpuB is deadlocked by taking psinfo->buf_lock again.
[Solution]
This patch avoids the deadlocking issues in both panic and emergency_restart
paths by introducing a function, is_non_blocking_path(), to check if a cpu
can be blocked in current path.
With this patch, pstore is not blocked even if another cpu has
taken a spin_lock, in those paths by changing from spin_lock_irqsave
to spin_trylock_irqsave.
In addition, according to a comment of emergency_restart() in kernel/sys.c,
spin_lock shouldn't be taken in an emergency_restart path to avoid
deadlock. This patch fits the comment below.

The f2fs_balance_fs() is to check the number of free sections and decide whether
it needs to conduct cleaning or not. If there are not enough free sections, the
cleaning job should be started.
In order to control an amount of free sections even under high utilization, f2fs
should call f2fs_balance_fs at all the VFS interfaces that are able to produce
dirty pages.
This patch adds the function calls in the missing interfaces as follows.
1. f2fs_setxattr()
The f2fs_setxattr() produces dirty node pages so that we should call
f2fs_balance_fs() either likewise doing in other VFS interfaces such as
f2fs_lookup(), f2fs_mkdir(), and so on.
2. f2fs_sync_file()
We should guarantee serving free sections for syncing metadata during fsync.
Previously, there is no space check before triggering checkpoint and
sync_node_pages.
Therefore, if a bunch of fsync calls are triggered under 100% of FS utilization,
f2fs is able to be faced with no free sections, resulting in BUG_ON().
3. f2fs_sync_fs()
Before calling write_checkpoint(), we should guarantee that there are minimum
free sections.
4. f2fs_write_inode()
f2fs_write_inode() is also able to produce dirty node pages.
