2022-05-16btrfs: simplify WQ_HIGHPRI handling in struct btrfs_workqueueChristoph Hellwig
Just let the one caller that wants optional WQ_HIGHPRI handling allocate a separate btrfs_workqueue for that. This allows to rename struct __btrfs_workqueue to btrfs_workqueue, remove a pointer indirection and separate allocation for all btrfs_workqueue users and generally simplify the code.

2021-11-16btrfs: fix memory ordering between normal and ordered work functionsNikolay Borisov
Ordered work functions aren't guaranteed to be handled by the same thread which executed the normal work functions. The only way execution between normal/ordered functions is synchronized is via the WORK_DONE_BIT, unfortunately the used bitops don't guarantee any ordering whatsoever. This manifested as seemingly inexplicable crashes on ARM64, where async_chunk::inode is seen as non-null in async_cow_submit which causes submit_compressed_extents to be called and crash occurs because async_chunk::inode suddenly became NULL. The call trace was similar to: pc : submit_compressed_extents+0x38/0x3d0 lr : async_cow_submit+0x50/0xd0 sp : ffff800015d4bc20 <registers omitted for brevity> Call trace: submit_compressed_extents+0x38/0x3d0 async_cow_submit+0x50/0xd0 run_ordered_work+0xc8/0x280 btrfs_work_helper+0x98/0x250 process_one_work+0x1f0/0x4ac worker_thread+0x188/0x504 kthread+0x110/0x114 ret_from_fork+0x10/0x18 Fix this by adding respective barrier calls which ensure that all accesses preceding setting of WORK_DONE_BIT are strictly ordered before setting the flag. At the same time add a read barrier after reading of WORK_DONE_BIT in run_ordered_work which ensures all subsequent loads would be strictly ordered after reading the bit. This in turn ensures are all accesses before WORK_DONE_BIT are going to be strictly ordered before any access that can occur in ordered_func.

2020-03-23Btrfs: fix crash during unmount due to race with delayed inode workersFilipe Manana
During unmount we can have a job from the delayed inode items work queue still running, that can lead to at least two bad things: 1) A crash, because the worker can try to create a transaction just after the fs roots were freed; 2) A transaction leak, because the worker can create a transaction before the fs roots are freed and just after we committed the last transaction and after we stopped the transaction kthread.

When this situation happens the worker has a delayed node that has no more items to run, since the task calling btrfs_run_delayed_items(), which is doing a transaction commit, picks the same node and runs all its items first. We can not wait for the worker to complete when running delayed items through btrfs_run_delayed_items(), because we call that function in several phases of a transaction commit, and that could cause a deadlock because the worker calls btrfs_join_transaction() and the task doing the transaction commit may have already set the transaction state to TRANS_STATE_COMMIT_DOING. Also it's not possible to get into a situation where only some of the items of a delayed node are added to the fs/subvolume tree in the current transaction and the remaining ones in the next transaction, because when running the items of a delayed inode we lock its mutex, effectively waiting for the worker if the worker is running the items of the delayed node already. Since this can only cause issues when unmounting a filesystem, fix it in a simple way by waiting for any jobs on the delayed workers queue before calling btrfs_commit_supper() at close_ctree(). This works because at this point no one can call btrfs_btree_balance_dirty() or btrfs_balance_delayed_items(), and if we end up waiting for any worker to complete, btrfs_commit_super() will commit the transaction created by the worker.

2019-11-18btrfs: get rid of pointless wtag variable in async-thread.cOmar Sandoval
Commit ac0c7cf8be00 ("btrfs: fix crash when tracepoint arguments are freed by wq callbacks") added a void pointer, wtag, which is passed into trace_btrfs_all_work_done() instead of the freed work item. This is silly for a few reasons: 1. The freed work item still has the same address. 2. work is still in scope after it's freed, so assigning wtag doesn't stop anyone from using it. 3. The tracepoint has always taken a void * argument, so assigning wtag doesn't actually make things any more type-safe. (Note that the original bug in commit bc074524e123 ("btrfs: prefix fsid to all trace events") was that the void * was implicitly casted when it was passed to btrfs_work_owner() in the trace point itself). Instead, let's add some clearer warnings as comments.

2019-11-18btrfs: get rid of unique workqueue helper functionsOmar Sandoval
Commit 9e0af2376434 ("Btrfs: fix task hang under heavy compressed write") worked around the issue that a recycled work item could get a false dependency on the original work item due to how the workqueue code guarantees non-reentrancy. It did so by giving different work functions to different types of work. However, the fixes in the previous few patches are more complete, as they prevent a work item from being recycled at all (except for a tiny window that the kernel workqueue code handles for us). This obsoletes the previous fix, so we don't need the unique helpers for correctness. The only other reason to keep them would be so they show up in stack traces, but they always seem to be optimized to a tail call, so they don't show up anyways. So, let's just get rid of the extra indirection. While we're here, rename normal_work_helper() to the more informative btrfs_work_helper().

2019-11-18btrfs: don't prematurely free work in run_ordered_work()Omar Sandoval
We hit the following very strange deadlock on a system with Btrfs on a loop device backed by another Btrfs filesystem: 1. The top (loop device) filesystem queues an async_cow work item from cow_file_range_async(). We'll call this work X. 2. Worker thread A starts work X (normal_work_helper()). 3. Worker thread A executes the ordered work for the top filesystem (run_ordered_work()). 4. Worker thread A finishes the ordered work for work X and frees X (work->ordered_free()). 5. Worker thread A executes another ordered work and gets blocked on I/O to the bottom filesystem (still in run_ordered_work()). 6. Meanwhile, the bottom filesystem allocates and queues an async_cow work item which happens to be the recently-freed X. 7. The workqueue code sees that X is already being executed by worker thread A, so it schedules X to be executed _after_ worker thread A finishes (see the find_worker_executing_work() call in process_one_work()). Now, the top filesystem is waiting for I/O on the bottom filesystem, but the bottom filesystem is waiting for the top filesystem to finish, so we deadlock. This happens because we are breaking the workqueue assumption that a work item cannot be recycled while it still depends on other work. Fix it by waiting to free the work item until we are done with all of the related ordered work. P.S.: One might ask why the workqueue code doesn't try to detect a recycled work item. It actually does try by checking whether the work item has the same work function (find_worker_executing_work()), but in our case the function is the same. This is the only key that the workqueue code has available to compare, short of adding an additional, layer-violating "custom key". Considering that we're the only ones that have ever hit this, we should just play by the rules. Unfortunately, we haven't been able to create a minimal reproducer other than our full container setup using a compress-force=zstd filesystem on top of another compress-force=zstd filesystem.

The problem is caused by btrfs_wq_run_delayed_node() queuing more and more works if the number of delayed items is above BTRFS_DELAYED_BACKGROUND. The worker func (btrfs_async_run_delayed_root) processes at least BTRFS_DELAYED_BATCH items (if they are present in the list). So, the machinery works as expected while the list is almost empty. As soon as it is getting bigger, worker func starts to process more than one item at a time, it takes longer, and the chances to have async_works queued more than needed is getting higher. The problem above is worsened by another flaw of delayed-inode implementation: if async_work was queued in a throttling branch (number of items >= BTRFS_DELAYED_WRITEBACK), corresponding worker func won't quit until the number of items < BTRFS_DELAYED_BACKGROUND / 2. So, it is possible that the func occupies CPU infinitely (up to 30sec in my experiments): while the func is trying to drain the list, the user activity may add more and more items to the list. The patch fixes both problems in straightforward way: refuse queuing too many works in btrfs_wq_run_delayed_node and bail out of worker func if at least BTRFS_DELAYED_WRITEBACK items are processed.

2014-09-17Btrfs: implement repair function when direct read failsMiao Xie
This patch implement data repair function when direct read fails. The detail of the implementation is: - When we find the data is not right, we try to read the data from the other mirror. - When the io on the mirror ends, we will insert the endio work into the dedicated btrfs workqueue, not common read endio workqueue, because the original endio work is still blocked in the btrfs endio workqueue, if we insert the endio work of the io on the mirror into that workqueue, deadlock would happen. - After we get right data, we write it back to the corrupted mirror. - And if the data on the new mirror is still corrupted, we will try next mirror until we read right data or all the mirrors are traversed. - After the above work, we set the uptodate flag according to the result.

2014-08-24Btrfs: fix task hang under heavy compressed writeLiu Bo
This has been reported and discussed for a long time, and this hang occurs in both 3.15 and 3.16. Btrfs now migrates to use kernel workqueue, but it introduces this hang problem. Btrfs has a kind of work queued as an ordered way, which means that its ordered_func() must be processed in the way of FIFO, so it usually looks like -- normal_work_helper(arg) work = container_of(arg, struct btrfs_work, normal_work); work->func() <---- (we name it work X) for ordered_work in wq->ordered_list ordered_work->ordered_func() ordered_work->ordered_free() The hang is a rare case, first when we find free space, we get an uncached block group, then we go to read its free space cache inode for free space information, so it will file a readahead request btrfs_readpages() for page that is not in page cache __do_readpage() submit_extent_page() btrfs_submit_bio_hook() btrfs_bio_wq_end_io() submit_bio() end_workqueue_bio() <--(ret by the 1st endio) queue a work(named work Y) for the 2nd also the real endio() So the hang occurs when work Y's work_struct and work X's work_struct happens to share the same address. A bit more explanation, A,B,C -- struct btrfs_work arg -- struct work_struct kthread: worker_thread() pick up a work_struct from @worklist process_one_work(arg) worker->current_work = arg; <-- arg is A->normal_work worker->current_func(arg) normal_work_helper(arg) A = container_of(arg, struct btrfs_work, normal_work); A->func() A->ordered_func() A->ordered_free() <-- A gets freed B->ordered_func() submit_compressed_extents() find_free_extent() load_free_space_inode() ... <-- (the above readhead stack) end_workqueue_bio() btrfs_queue_work(work C) B->ordered_free() As if work A has a high priority in wq->ordered_list and there are more ordered works queued after it, such as B->ordered_func(), its memory could have been freed before normal_work_helper() returns, which means that kernel workqueue code worker_thread() still has worker->current_work pointer to be work A->normal_work's, ie. arg's address. Meanwhile, work C is allocated after work A is freed, work C->normal_work and work A->normal_work are likely to share the same address(I confirmed this with ftrace output, so I'm not just guessing, it's rare though). When another kthread picks up work C->normal_work to process, and finds our kthread is processing it(see find_worker_executing_work()), it'll think work C as a collision and skip then, which ends up nobody processing work C. So the situation is that our kthread is waiting forever on work C. Besides, there're other cases that can lead to deadlock, but the real problem is that all btrfs workqueue shares one work->func, -- normal_work_helper, so this makes each workqueue to have its own helper function, but only a wraper pf normal_work_helper. With this patch, I no long hit the above hang. Signed-off-by: Liu Bo <bo.li.liu@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <clm@fb.com>

2014-03-10btrfs: Add threshold workqueue based on kernel workqueueQu Wenruo
The original btrfs_workers has thresholding functions to dynamically create or destroy kthreads. Though there is no such function in kernel workqueue because the worker is not created manually, we can still use the workqueue_set_max_active to simulated the behavior, mainly to achieve a better HDD performance by setting a high threshold on submit_workers. (Sadly, no resource can be saved) So in this patch, extra workqueue pending counters are introduced to dynamically change the max active of each btrfs_workqueue_struct, hoping to restore the behavior of the original thresholding function. Also, workqueue_set_max_active use a mutex to protect workqueue_struct, which is not meant to be called too frequently, so a new interval mechanism is applied, that will only call workqueue_set_max_active after a count of work is queued. Hoping to balance both the random and sequence performance on HDD.

kernel workqueue Use kernel workqueue to implement a new btrfs_workqueue_struct, which has the ordering execution feature like the btrfs_worker. The func is executed in a concurrency way, and the ordred_func/ordered_free is executed in the sequence them are queued after the corresponding func is done. The new btrfs_workqueue works much like the original one, one workqueue for normal work and a list for ordered work. When a work is queued, ordered work will be added to the list and helper function will be queued into the workqueue. The helper function will execute a normal work and then check and execute as many ordered work as possible in the sequence they were queued. At this patch, high priority work queue or thresholding is not added yet. The high priority feature and thresholding will be added in the following patches.

2013-10-04Btrfs: eliminate races in worker stopping codeIlya Dryomov
The current implementation of worker threads in Btrfs has races in worker stopping code, which cause all kinds of panics and lockups when running btrfs/011 xfstest in a loop. The problem is that btrfs_stop_workers is unsynchronized with respect to check_idle_worker, check_busy_worker and __btrfs_start_workers. E.g., check_idle_worker race flow: btrfs_stop_workers(): check_idle_worker(aworker): - grabs the lock - splices the idle list into the working list - removes the first worker from the working list - releases the lock to wait for its kthread's completion - grabs the lock - if aworker is on the working list, moves aworker from the working list to the idle list - releases the lock - grabs the lock - puts the worker - removes the second worker from the working list ...... btrfs_stop_workers returns, aworker is on the idle list FS is umounted, memory is freed ...... aworker is waken up, fireworks ensue With this applied, I wasn't able to trigger the problem in 48 hours, whereas previously I could reliably reproduce at least one of these races within an hour.

2012-07-25Btrfs: call the ordered free operation without any locks heldChris Mason
Each ordered operation has a free callback, and this was called with the worker spinlock held. Josef made the free callback also call iput, which we can't do with the spinlock.

We'll circle back around to this and find a cleaner way that doesn't bounce the lock around so much. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@fusionio.com> cc: stable@kernel.org

2011-12-15Btrfs: fix num_workers_starting bug and other bugs in async threadJosef Bacik
Al pointed out we have some random problems with the way we account for num_workers_starting in the async thread stuff. First of all we need to make sure to decrement num_workers_starting if we fail to start the worker, so make __btrfs_start_workers do this. Also fix __btrfs_start_workers so that it doesn't call btrfs_stop_workers(), there is no point in stopping everybody if we failed to create a worker. Also check_pending_worker_creates needs to call __btrfs_start_work in it's work function since it already increments num_workers_starting. People only start one worker at a time, so get rid of the num_workers argument everywhere, and make btrfs_queue_worker a void since it will always succeed.

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo
implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

2009-10-05Btrfs: fix deadlock on async thread startupChris Mason
The btrfs async worker threads are used for a wide variety of things, including processing bio end_io functions. This means that when the endio threads aren't running, the rest of the FS isn't able to do the final processing required to clear PageWriteback. The endio threads also try to exit as they become idle and start more as the work piles up. The problem is that starting more threads means kthreadd may need to allocate ram, and that allocation may wait until the global number of writeback pages on the system is below a certain limit. The result of that throttling is that end IO threads wait on kthreadd, who is waiting on IO to end, which will never happen. This commit fixes the deadlock by handing off thread startup to a dedicated thread. It also fixes a bug where the on-demand thread creation was creating far too many threads because it didn't take into account threads being started by other procs.

2009-09-15Btrfs: Fix async thread shutdown raceChris Mason
It was possible for an async worker thread to be selected to receive a new work item, but exit before the work item was actually placed into that thread's work list. This commit fixes the race by incrementing the num_pending counter earlier, and making sure to check the number of pending work items before a thread exits.
