btrfs: make send work with concurrent block group relocation

2022-03-16T13:26:52Z

commit d96b34248c2f4ea8cd09286090f2f6f77102eaab upstream. We don't allow send and balance/relocation to run in parallel in order to prevent send failing or silently producing some bad stream. This is because while send is using an extent (specially metadata) or about to read a metadata extent and expecting it belongs to a specific parent node, relocation can run, the transaction used for the relocation is committed and the extent gets reallocated while send is still using the extent, so it ends up with a different content than expected. This can result in just failing to read a metadata extent due to failure of the validation checks (parent transid, level, etc), failure to find a backreference for a data extent, and other unexpected failures. Besides reallocation, there's also a similar problem of an extent getting discarded when it's unpinned after the transaction used for block group relocation is committed. The restriction between balance and send was added in commit 9e967495e0e0 ("Btrfs: prevent send failures and crashes due to concurrent relocation"), kernel 5.3, while the more general restriction between send and relocation was added in commit 1cea5cf0e664 ("btrfs: ensure relocation never runs while we have send operations running"), kernel 5.14. Both send and relocation can be very long running operations. Relocation because it has to do a lot of IO and expensive backreference lookups in case there are many snapshots, and send due to read IO when operating on very large trees. This makes it inconvenient for users and tools to deal with scheduling both operations. For zoned filesystem we also have automatic block group relocation, so send can fail with -EAGAIN when users least expect it or send can end up delaying the block group relocation for too long. In the future we might also get the automatic block group relocation for non zoned filesystems. This change makes it possible for send and relocation to run in parallel. This is achieved the following way: 1) For all tree searches, send acquires a read lock on the commit root semaphore; 2) After each tree search, and before releasing the commit root semaphore, the leaf is cloned and placed in the search path (struct btrfs_path); 3) After releasing the commit root semaphore, the changed_cb() callback is invoked, which operates on the leaf and writes commands to the pipe (or file in case send/receive is not used with a pipe). It's important here to not hold a lock on the commit root semaphore, because if we did we could deadlock when sending and receiving to the same filesystem using a pipe - the send task blocks on the pipe because it's full, the receive task, which is the only consumer of the pipe, triggers a transaction commit when attempting to create a subvolume or reserve space for a write operation for example, but the transaction commit blocks trying to write lock the commit root semaphore, resulting in a deadlock; 4) Before moving to the next key, or advancing to the next change in case of an incremental send, check if a transaction used for relocation was committed (or is about to finish its commit). If so, release the search path(s) and restart the search, to where we were before, so that we don't operate on stale extent buffers. The search restarts are always possible because both the send and parent roots are RO, and no one can add, remove of update keys (change their offset) in RO trees - the only exception is deduplication, but that is still not allowed to run in parallel with send; 5) Periodically check if there is contention on the commit root semaphore, which means there is a transaction commit trying to write lock it, and release the semaphore and reschedule if there is contention, so as to avoid causing any significant delays to transaction commits. This leaves some room for optimizations for send to have less path releases and re searching the trees when there's relocation running, but for now it's kept simple as it performs quite well (on very large trees with resulting send streams in the order of a few hundred gigabytes). Test case btrfs/187, from fstests, stresses relocation, send and deduplication attempting to run in parallel, but without verifying if send succeeds and if it produces correct streams. A new test case will be added that exercises relocation happening in parallel with send and then checks that send succeeds and the resulting streams are correct. A final note is that for now this still leaves the mutual exclusion between send operations and deduplication on files belonging to a root used by send operations. A solution for that will be slightly more complex but it will eventually be built on top of this change.

btrfs: send: prepare for v2 protocol

2021-10-29T10:38:43Z

This is preparatory work for send protocol update to version 2 and higher. We have many pending protocol update requests but still don't have the basic protocol rev in place, the first thing that must happen is to do the actual versioning support. The protocol version is u32 and is a new member in the send ioctl struct. Validity of the version field is backed by a new flag bit. Old kernels would fail when a higher version is requested. Version protocol 0 will pick the highest supported version, BTRFS_SEND_STREAM_VERSION, that's also exported in sysfs. The version is still unchanged and will be increased once we have new incompatible commands or stream updates. Reviewed-by: Nikolay Borisov Signed-off-by: David Sterba

btrfs: send: fix crash when memory allocations trigger reclaim

2021-06-22T12:11:58Z

When doing a send we don't expect the task to ever start a transaction after the initial check that verifies if commit roots match the regular roots. This is because after that we set current->journal_info with a stub (special value) that signals we are in send context, so that we take a read lock on an extent buffer when reading it from disk and verifying it is valid (its generation matches the generation stored in the parent). This stub was introduced in 2014 by commit a26e8c9f75b0bf ("Btrfs: don't clear uptodate if the eb is under IO") in order to fix a concurrency issue between send and balance. However there is one particular exception where we end up needing to start a transaction and when this happens it results in a crash with a stack trace like the following: [60015.902283] kernel: WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 58159 at arch/x86/include/asm/kfence.h:44 kfence_protect_page+0x21/0x80 [60015.902292] kernel: Modules linked in: uinput rfcomm snd_seq_dummy (...)

This allocation happens at fs/pipe.c:pipe_write(). If the reclaim is triggered, inode eviction can be triggered and that in turn can result in starting a transaction if the inode has a link count of 0. The transaction start happens early on during eviction, when we call btrfs_commit_inode_delayed_inode() at btrfs_evict_inode(). This happens if there is currently an open file descriptor for an inode with a link count of 0 and the reclaim task gets a reference on the inode before that descriptor is closed, in which case the reclaim task ends up doing the final iput that triggers the inode eviction. When we have assertions enabled (CONFIG_BTRFS_ASSERT=y), this triggers the following assertion at transaction.c:start_transaction(): /* Send isn't supposed to start transactions. */ ASSERT(current->journal_info != BTRFS_SEND_TRANS_STUB); And when assertions are not enabled, it triggers a crash since after that assertion we cast current->journal_info into a transaction handle pointer and then dereference it: if (current->journal_info) { WARN_ON(type & TRANS_EXTWRITERS); h = current->journal_info; refcount_inc(&h->use_count); (...) Which obviously results in a crash due to an invalid memory access. The same type of issue can happen during other memory allocations we do directly in the send code with kmalloc (and friends) as they use GFP_KERNEL and therefore may trigger reclaim too, which started to happen since 2016 after commit e780b0d1c1523e ("btrfs: send: use GFP_KERNEL everywhere"). The issue could be solved by setting up a NOFS context for the entire send operation so that reclaim could not be triggered when allocating memory or pages through kernel_write(). However that is not very friendly and we can in fact get rid of the send stub because: 1) The stub was introduced way back in 2014 by commit a26e8c9f75b0bf ("Btrfs: don't clear uptodate if the eb is under IO") to solve an issue exclusive to when send and balance are running in parallel, however there were other problems between balance and send and we do not allow anymore to have balance and send run concurrently since commit 9e967495e0e0ae ("Btrfs: prevent send failures and crashes due to concurrent relocation"). More generically the issues are between send and relocation, and that last commit eliminated only the possibility of having send and balance run concurrently, but shrinking a device also can trigger relocation, and on zoned filesystems we have relocation of partially used block groups triggered automatically as well. The previous patch that has a subject of: "btrfs: ensure relocation never runs while we have send operations running" Addresses all the remaining cases that can trigger relocation. 2) We can actually allow starting and even committing transactions while in a send context if needed because send is not holding any locks that would block the start or the commit of a transaction. So get rid of all the logic added by commit a26e8c9f75b0bf ("Btrfs: don't clear uptodate if the eb is under IO"). We can now always call clear_extent_buffer_uptodate() at verify_parent_transid() since send is the only case that uses commit roots without having a transaction open or without holding the commit_root_sem.

btrfs: ensure relocation never runs while we have send operations running

2021-06-22T12:11:58Z

Relocation and send do not play well together because while send is running a block group can be relocated, a transaction committed and the respective disk extents get re-allocated and written to or discarded while send is about to do something with the extents. This was explained in commit 9e967495e0e0ae ("Btrfs: prevent send failures and crashes due to concurrent relocation"), which prevented balance and send from running in parallel but it did not address one remaining case where chunk relocation can happen: shrinking a device (and device deletion which shrinks a device's size to 0 before deleting the device). We also have now one more case where relocation is triggered: on zoned filesystems partially used block groups get relocated by a background thread, introduced in commit 18bb8bbf13c183 ("btrfs: zoned: automatically reclaim zones"). So make sure that instead of preventing balance from running when there are ongoing send operations, we prevent relocation from happening. This uses the infrastructure recently added by a patch that has the subject: "btrfs: add cancellable chunk relocation support". Also it adds a spinlock used exclusively for the exclusivity between send and relocation, as before fs_info->balance_mutex was used, which would make an attempt to run send to block waiting for balance to finish, which can take a lot of time on large filesystems.
