Repair might encounter an inode with a totally garbage i_mode. To fix
this problem, we have to figure out if the file was a regular file, a
directory, or a special file. One way to figure this out is to check if
there are any directories with entries pointing down to the busted file.
This patch recovers the file mode by scanning every directory entry on
the filesystem to see if there are any that point to the busted file.
If the ftype of all such dirents are consistent, the mode is recovered
from the ftype. If no dirents are found, the file becomes a regular
file. In all cases, ACLs are canceled and the file is made accessible
only by root.
A previous patch attempted to guess the mode by reading the beginning of
the file data. This was rejected by Christoph on the grounds that we
cannot trust user-controlled data blocks. Users do not have direct
control over the ondisk contents of directory entries, so this method
should be much safer.
If all the dirents have the same ftype, then we can translate that back
into an S_IFMT flag and fix the file. If not, reset the mode to
S_IFREG.

The inode scanner tries to reduce contention on the AGI header buffer
lock by grabbing references to consecutive allocated inodes. Batching
stops as soon as we encounter an unallocated inode. This is unfortunate
because in the worst case performance collapses to the old "one at a
time" behavior if every other inode is free.
This is correct behavior, but we could do better. Unallocated inodes by
definition have nothing to scan, which means the iscan can ignore them
as long as someone ensures that the scan data will reflect another
thread allocating the inode and adding interesting metadata to that
inode. That mechanism is, of course, the live update hooks.
Therefore, extend the batching mechanism to track unallocated inodes
adjacent to the scan cursor. The _want_live_update predicate can tell
the caller's live update hook to incorporate all live updates to what
the scanner thinks is an unallocated inode if (after dropping the AGI)
some other thread allocates one of those inodes and begins using it.
Note that we cannot just copy the ir_free bitmap into the scan cursor
because the batching stops if iget says the inode is in an intermediate
state (e.g. on the inactivation list) and cannot be igrabbed.

After observing xfs_scrub taking forever to rebuild parent pointers on a

locks. Given that we're walking the inobt records anyway, we can often
tell ahead of time when there's a bunch of (up to 64) consecutive inodes
that we could grab all at once.
Do this to amortize the cost of taking the AGI lock across as many
inodes as we possibly can. On the author's system this seems to improve
parallel throughput from barely one and a half cores to slightly

This patch implements a live file scanner for online fsck functions that
require the ability to walk a filesystem to gather metadata records and
stay informed about metadata changes to files that have already been
visited.
The iscan structure consists of two inode number cursors: one to track
which inode we want to visit next, and a second one to track which
inodes have already been visited. This second cursor is key to
capturing live updates to files previously scanned while the main thread
continues scanning -- any inode greater than this value hasn't been
scanned and can go on its way; any other update must be incorporated
into the collected data. It is critical for the scanning thraad to hold
exclusive access on the inode until after marking the inode visited.
This new code is a separate patch from the patchsets adding callers for
the sake of enabling the author to move patches around his tree with
ease. The intended usage model for this code is roughly:
xchk_iscan_start(iscan, 0, 0);
while ((error = xchk_iscan_iter(sc, iscan, &ip)) == 1) {
xfs_ilock(ip, ...);
/* capture inode metadata */
xchk_iscan_mark_visited(iscan, ip);
xfs_iunlock(ip, ...);
xfs_irele(ip);
}
xchk_iscan_stop(iscan);
if (error)
return error;
Hook functions for live updates can then do:
if (xchk_iscan_want_live_update(...))
/* update the captured inode metadata */

As for the particular choice of lowspace thresholds and btree block
slack factors -- at this point one could say that the thresholds in
online repair come from bulkload_estimate_ag_slack in xfs_repair[1].
But that's not the entire story, since the offline btree rebuilding
code in xfs_repair was merged as a retroport of the online btree code
in this patchset!
Before xfs_btree_staging.[ch] came along, xfs_repair determined the
slack factor (aka the number of slots to leave unfilled in each new
btree block) via open-coded logic in repair/phase5.c[2]. At that point
the slack factors were arbitrary quantities per btree. The rmapbt
automatically left 10 slots free; everything else left zero.
That had a noticeable effect on performance straight after mounting
because adding records to /any/ btree would result in splits. A few
years ago when this patch was first written, Dave and I decided that
repair should generate btree blocks that were 75% full unless space was
tight, in which case it should try to fill the blocks to nearly full.
We defined tight as ~10% free to avoid repair failures but settled on
3/32 (~9%) to avoid div64.
IOWs, we mostly pulled the thresholds out of thin air. We've been
QAing with those geometry numbers ever since. ;)

Back in the mists of time[1], I proposed this function to assist the
inode btree scrubbers in checking the inode btree contents against the
allocation state of the inode records. The original version performed a
direct lookup in the inode cache and returned the allocation status if
the cached inode hadn't been reused and wasn't in an intermediate state.
Brian thought it would be better to use the usual iget/irele mechanisms,
so that was changed for the final version.
Unfortunately, this hasn't aged well -- the IGET_INCORE flag only has
one user and clutters up the regular iget path, which makes it hard to
reason about how it actually works. Worse yet, the inode inactivation
series silently broke it because iget won't return inodes that are
anywhere in the inactivation machinery, even though the caller is
already required to prevent inode allocation and freeing. Inodes in the
inactivation machinery are still allocated, but the current code's
interactions with the iget code prevent us from being able to say that.
Now that I understand the inode lifecycle better than I did in early
2017, I now realize that as long as the cached inode hasn't been reused
and isn't actively being reclaimed, it's safe to access the i_mode field
(with the AGI, rcu, and i_flags locks held), and we don't need to worry
about the inode being freed out from under us.
Therefore, port the original version to modern code structure, which
fixes the brokennes w.r.t. inactivation. In the next patch we'll remove
IGET_INCORE since it's no longer necessary.

For a small increase in kernel memory requirements, we could instead
bulk load the xfarray records into memory, use the kernel's existing

The btree bulk loading code requires that records be provided in the
correct record sort order for the given btree type. In general, repair
code cannot be required to collect records in order, and it is not
feasible to insert new records in the middle of an array to maintain
sort order.
Implement a sorting algorithm so that we can sort the records just prior
to bulk loading. In principle, an xfarray could consume many gigabytes
of memory and its backing pages can be sent out to disk at any time.
This means that we cannot map the entire array into memory at once, so
we must find a way to divide the work into smaller portions (e.g. a
page) that /can/ be mapped into memory.
Quicksort seems like a reasonable fit for this purpose, since it uses a
divide and conquer strategy to keep its average runtime logarithmic.
The solution presented here is a port of the glibc implementation, which
itself is derived from the median-of-three and tail call recursion
strategies outlined by Sedgwick.
Subsequent patches will optimize the implementation further by utilizing
the kernel's heapsort on directly-mapped memory whenever possible, and
improving the quicksort pivot selection algorithm to try to avoid O(n^2)
collapses.
Note: The sorting functionality gets its own patch because the basic big
array mechanisms were plenty for a single code patch.

Create a simple 'big array' data structure for storage of fixed-size

repair operations, the most important operations are append, iterate,

Earlier implementations of the big array used linked lists and suffered
from severe problems -- pinning all records in kernel memory was not a
good idea and frequently lead to OOM situations; random access was very
inefficient; and record overhead for the lists was unacceptably high at
40-60%.
Therefore, the big memory array relies on the 'xfile' abstraction, which
creates a memfd file and stores the records in page cache pages. Since
the memfd is created in tmpfs, the memory pages can be pushed out to
disk if necessary and we have a built-in usage limit of 50% of physical

rebuild btrees by creating an alternate root and adding records one by
one. In other words, they predate the btree bulk loader. They're not
necessary now, so remove them.

If the fscounters scrubber notices incorrect summary counters, it's
entirely possible that scrub is simply racing with other threads that
are updating the incore counters. There isn't a good way to stabilize
percpu counters or set ourselves up to observe live updates with hooks
like we do for the quotacheck or nlinks scanners, so we instead choose
to freeze the filesystem long enough to walk the incore per-AG
structures.
Past me thought that it was going to be commonplace to have to freeze
the filesystem to perform some kind of repair and set up a whole
separate infrastructure to freeze the filesystem in such a way that
userspace could not unfreeze while we were running. This involved
adding a mutex and freeze_super/thaw_super functions and dealing with
the fact that the VFS freeze/thaw functions can free the VFS superblock
references on return.
This was all very overwrought, since fscounters turned out to be the
only user of scrub freezes, and it doesn't require the log to quiesce,
only the incore superblock counters. We prevent other threads from
changing the freeze level by calling freeze_super_excl with a custom
freeze cookie to keep everyone else out of the filesystem.
The end result is that fscounters should be much more efficient. When
we're checking a busy system and we can't stabilize the counters, the
custom freeze will do less work, which should result in less downtime.
Repair should be similarly speedy, but that's in a later patch.

The fscounters scrub code doesn't work properly because it cannot
quiesce updates to the percpu counters in the filesystem, hence it
returns false corruption reports. This has been fixed properly in
one of the online repair patchsets that are under review by replacing
the xchk_disable_reaping calls with an exclusive filesystem freeze.
Disabling background gc isn't sufficient to fix the problem.
In other words, scrub doesn't need to call xfs_inodegc_stop, which is
just as well since it wasn't correct to allow scrub to call
xfs_inodegc_start when something else could be calling xfs_inodegc_stop
(e.g. trying to freeze the filesystem).
Neuter the scrubber for now, and remove the xchk_*_reaping functions.

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.
