[PATCH 01/14] btrfs: fix a race between renames and directory logging

[fdmanana]

From: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@suse.com>

We have a race between a rename and directory inode logging that if it
happens and we crash/power fail before the rename completes, the next time
the filesystem is mounted, the log replay code will end up deleting the
file that was being renamed.

This is best explained following a step by step analysis of an interleaving
of steps that lead into this situation.

Consider the initial conditions:

1) We are at transaction N;

2) We have directories A and B created in a past transaction (< N);

3) We have inode X corresponding to a file that has 2 hardlinks, one in
   directory A and the other in directory B, so we'll name them as
   "A/foo_link1" and "B/foo_link2". Both hard links were persisted in a
   past transaction (< N);

4) We have inode Y corresponding to a file that as a single hard link and
   is located in directory A, we'll name it as "A/bar". This file was also
   persisted in a past transaction (< N).

The steps leading to a file loss are the following and for all of them we
are under transaction N:

 1) Link "A/foo_link1" is removed, so inode's X last_unlink_trans field
    is updated to N, through btrfs_unlink() -> btrfs_record_unlink_dir();

 2) Task A starts a rename for inode Y, with the goal of renaming from
    "A/bar" to "A/baz", so we enter btrfs_rename();

 3) Task A inserts the new BTRFS_INODE_REF_KEY for inode Y by calling
    btrfs_insert_inode_ref();

 4) Because the rename happens in the same directory, we don't set the
    last_unlink_trans field of directoty A's inode to the current
    transaction id, that is, we don't cal btrfs_record_unlink_dir();

 5) Task A then removes the entries from directory A (BTRFS_DIR_ITEM_KEY
    and BTRFS_DIR_INDEX_KEY items) when calling __btrfs_unlink_inode()
    (actually the dir index item is added as a delayed item, but the
    effect is the same);

 6) Now before task A adds the new entry "A/baz" to directory A by
    calling btrfs_add_link(), another task, task B is logging inode X;

 7) Task B starts a fsync of inode X and after logging inode X, at
    btrfs_log_inode_parent() it calls btrfs_log_all_parents(), since
    inode X has a last_unlink_trans value of N, set at in step 1;

 8) At btrfs_log_all_parents() we search for all parent directories of
    inode X using the commit root, so we find directories A and B and log
    them. Bu when logging direct A, we don't have a dir index item for
    inode Y anymore, neither the old name "A/bar" nor for the new name
    "A/baz" since the rename has deleted the old name but has not yet
    inserted the new name - task A hasn't called yet btrfs_add_link() to
    do that.

    Note that logging directory A doesn't fallback to a transaction
    commit because its last_unlink_trans has a lower value than the
    current transaction's id (see step 4);

 9) Task B finishes logging directories A and B and gets back to
    btrfs_sync_file() where it calls btrfs_sync_log() to persist the log
    tree;

10) Task B successfully persisted the log tree, btrfs_sync_log() completed
    with success, and a power failure happened.

    We have a log tree without any directory entry for inode Y, so the
    log replay code deletes the entry for inode Y, name "A/bar", from the
    subvolume tree since it doesn't exist in the log tree and the log
    tree is authorative for its index (we logged a BTRFS_DIR_LOG_INDEX_KEY
    item that covers the index range for the dentry that corresponds to
    "A/bar").

    Since there's no other hard link for inode Y and the log replay code
    deletes the name "A/bar", the file is lost.

The issue wouldn't happen if task B synced the log only after task A
called btrfs_log_new_name(), which would update the log with the new name
for inode Y ("A/bar").

Fix this by pinning the log root during renames before removing the old
directory entry, and unpinning after btrfs_log_new_name() is called.

Presumably, an alternative fix would be to also call
btrfs_record_unlink_dir() for same directory renames? However, it seems
like pinning the log commit for the duration of the rename is going to
be faster than falling back to a full transaction commit.

Did I understand the rationale correctly?

The explanation and fix make sense to me, thanks.
Reviewed-by: Boris Burkov <boris@bur.io>

One qq: would it be possible / make sense to have an absolutely minimal
fix patch that only restores the log pinning order (as changed by
259c4b96d78d) without the additional refactoring of the subvol root
checking logic (i.e., getting rid of the per-root pin tracking bools)?
Then separately do that refactoring?

Yes, you understood correctly.
We want to avoid setting last_unlink_trans for the directory, in case
of same directory renames, to avoid full transaction commits.

A fix doesn't have to necessarily make code exactly equal to what it
was before, unless the only solution is a full revert, which usually
happens for fairly recent commits.

The code is slightly different, yes, but many things have changed
after that commit over the years.
I wouldn't call it a refactoring, and I don't see why you think it
makes backporting harder, in fact trying to do it exactly as before
would actually make the backport harder on more recent kernels.

The code now is equivalent, with more comments about what is being done and why
The addition is to avoid logging new names in case we have set the log
for full commit, due to renaming a root, but that doesn't make it
harder to backport at all.

Thanks.

I missed how old the bug was, my bad. Totally agreed that "fixing
forward" is way more appropriate here.

[PATCH 02/14] btrfs: assert we join log transaction at btrfs_del_inode_ref_in_log()

[fdmanana]

From: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@suse.com>

We are supposed to be able to join a log transaction at that point, since
we have determined that the inode was logged in the current transaction
with the call to inode_logged(). So ASSERT() we joined a log transaction
and also warn if we didn't in case assertions are disabled (the kernel
config doesn't have CONFIG_BTRFS_ASSERT=y), so that the issue gets noticed
and reported if it ever happens.

[PATCH 03/14] btrfs: free path sooner at __btrfs_unlink_inode()

[fdmanana]

From: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@suse.com>

After calling btrfs_delete_one_dir_name() there's no need for the path
anymore so we can free it immediately after. After that point we do
some btree operations that take time and in those call chains we end up
allocating paths for these operations, so we're unnecessarily holding on
to the path we allocated early at __btrfs_unlink_inode().

So free the path as soon as we don't need it and add a comment. This
also allows to simplify the error path, removing two exit labels and
returning directly when an error happens.

Maybe we could define the path using `BTRFS_PATH_AUTO_FREE(path);` so that we 
don't need to write btrfs_free_path before every return statement like this.

Forgive me if I'm mistaken, as I'm not completely familiar with this.

For the error case only, yes. But the goal here is to free the path as
soon as it's not needed for the expected, non-error case.
So no, it wouldn't do it.

You can actually combine explicit btrfs_free_path(path) with auto free
if you follow with path = NULL. In such a case the second free will
result in nop.
Of course, a comment would be proper at such a location if you really
wanted to use it.

[PATCH 04/14] btrfs: use btrfs_del_item() at del_logged_dentry()

[fdmanana]

From: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@suse.com>

There's no need to use btrfs_delete_one_dir_name() at del_logged_dentry()
because we are processing a dir index key which can contain only a single
name, unlike dir item keys which can encode multiple names in case of name
hash collisions. We have explicitly looked up for a dir index key by
calling btrfs_lookup_dir_index_item() and we don't log dir item keys
anymore (since commit 339d03542484 ("btrfs: only copy dir index keys when
logging a directory")). So simplify and use btrfs_del_item() directly
instead of btrfs_delete_one_dir_name().

[PATCH 05/14] btrfs: assert we join log transaction at btrfs_del_dir_entries_in_log()

[fdmanana]

From: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@suse.com>

We are supposed to be able to join a log transaction at that point, since
we have determined that the inode was logged in the current transaction
with the call to inode_logged(). So ASSERT() we joined a log transaction
and also warn if we didn't in case assertions are disabled (the kernel
config doesn't have CONFIG_BTRFS_ASSERT=y), so that the issue gets noticed
and reported if it ever happens.

Instead of allocating the path after joining the log transaction, allocate
it before so that we're not delaying log commits for the rare cases where
the allocation takes a significant time (under memory pressure and all
slabs are full, there's the need to allocate a new page, etc).

[PATCH 08/14] btrfs: allocate scratch eb earlier at btrfs_log_new_name()

[fdmanana]

From: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@suse.com>

Instead of allocating the scratch eb after joining the log transaction,
allocate it before so that we're not delaying log commits for longer
than necessary, as allocating the scratch eb means allocating an
extent_buffer structure, which comes from a dedicated kmem_cache, plus
pages/folios to attach to the eb. Both of these allocations may take time
when we're under memory pressure.

[PATCH 09/14] btrfs: pass NULL index to btrfs_del_inode_ref() where not needed

[fdmanana]

From: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@suse.com>

There are two callers of btrfs_del_inode_ref() that declare a local index
variable and then pass a pointer for it to btrfs_del_inode_ref(), but then
don't use that index at all. Since btrfs_del_inode_ref() accepts a NULL
index pointer, pass NULL instead and stop declaring those useless index
variables.

[PATCH 10/14] btrfs: switch del_all argument of replay_dir_deletes() from int to bool

[fdmanana]

From: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@suse.com>

The argument has boolean semantics, so change its type from int to bool,
making it more clear.

[PATCH 11/14] btrfs: make btrfs_delete_delayed_insertion_item() return a boolean

[fdmanana]

From: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@suse.com>

There's no need to return an integer as all we need to do is return true
or false to tell whether we deleted a delayed item or not. Also the logic
is inverted since we return 1 (true) if we didn't delete and 0 (false) if
we did, which is somewhat counter intuitive. Change the return type to a
boolean and make it return true if we deleted and false otherwise.

[PATCH 12/14] btrfs: add details to error messages at btrfs_delete_delayed_dir_index()

[fdmanana]

From: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@suse.com>

Update the error messages with:

1) Fix typo in the first one, deltiona -> deletion;

2) Remove redundant part of the first message, the part following the
   comma, and including all the useful information: root, inode, index
   and error value;

3) Update the second message to use more formal language (example 'error'
   instead of 'err'), , remove redundant part about "deletion tree of
   delayed node..." and print the relevant information in the same
   format and order as the first message, without the ugly opening
   parenthesis without a space separating from the previous word.
   This also makes the message similar in format to the one we have at
   btrfs_insert_delayed_dir_index().

[fdmanana]

From: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@suse.com>

There's no need to return errors and we currently return 1 in case the
index should be deleted and 0 otherwise, so change the return type from
int to bool as this is a boolean function and it's more clear this way.

[fdmanana]

From: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@suse.com>

There's no need to return errors, all we do is return 1 or 0 depending
on whether we should or should not stop iterating over delayed dir
indexes. So change the function to return bool instead of an int.

The cleanup patches look ok. Feel free to add the whole series to
