fast fsync() can return before the write reaches the storage:

Unfortunately btrfs_set_inode_full_sync() is not safe if the caller is
only holding a shared inode lock.
So it can still race with fsync.
The shared inode lock for dio writes is introduced by commit
e9adabb9712e ("btrfs: use shared lock for direct writes within EOF").
This is making me wonder if the shared inode lock for direct IO is a
good idea in the first place.
Or should I change fsync() to wait for direct IOs instead of using
btrfs_set_inode_full_sync()?
Thanks,
Qu

How can it race? An fsync takes the inode lock in exclusive mode.

Why would it not be a good idea?

Under which conditions is -EIOCBQUEUED returned?
Are these async writes (like io_uring)?
If that's common, then forcing full fsyncs badly affects performance.
We had fast fsync long before 487781796d30.
It got introduced back in 2012 in commit 5dc562c541e1, then removed in
b5e6c3e170b770 and then added back (in a slightly different form) in
487781796d30.
So are you sure 487781796d30 is the culprit?

And Josef's pending patch actually solves this issue already:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-btrfs/20261103-b4-btrfs-data-integrity-v2-3-577dc2690061@toxicpanda.com/
It ensures we wait for IO completion for all ordered extents.

OK, then I guess encoded write can be fixed using the same wait, other
than using that FULL_SYNC flag.

At least that's the newest commit that doesn't wait for async direct
writes nor encoded writes.

If CONFIG_BTRFS_EXPERIMENTAL is enabled, btrfs will submit a data write
bio before its checksum can be generated.
However this introduce a race with zoned devices that can trigger the
ASSERT() inside csum_one_bio_work():
CPU0 | CPU1 (kworker)
--------------------------------+-----------------------------------
btrfs_submit_chunk()
|-btrfs_bio_csum()
| \-btrfs_csum_one_bio()
| \-queue_work(..., &bbio->csum_work)
\-btrfs_submit_bio()
\-btrfs_submit_dev_bio()
|-bio->bi_opf &= ~REQ_OP_WRITE;
| csum_one_bio_work()
| \-ASSERT(btrfs_op(&bbio->bio) ==
| BTRFS_MAP_WRITE);
| ^^^ sees REQ_OP_READ (0), BUG()
\-bio->bi_opf |= REQ_OP_ZONE_APPEND;
Fix it by moving the ASSERT() into btrfs_csum_one_bio(), so at that time
the bi_opf is not yet updated and can always be trusted.

To: linux-btrfs
The workers workqueue is only utilized by csum generation offloading
path, which has quite some requirements to meet:
- Non-experimental builds
Experimental builds are already submitting bios before csum generation
is finished, which has more concurrency than this method, and still
ensures the submission sequence is followed.
- Slow csum algorithms
- Non-sync IOs
Otherwise offloading into a workqueue is only to cause more context
switch and overhead.
- Not metadata zoned writes
The biggest one that requires sequential submission is already excluded.
So there is not really much need to use btrfs workqueue for the
sequential submission.
Change from a btrfs workqueue to a regular workqueue.
This will make some bios submission out of their original order, but the
order will be back after the async csum generation feature is out of
experimental, which is very soon.
The main objective of this change is to prepare for the incomine async
csum generation as default.
As the previous endio_workers sharing can still cause problems related
to the workqueue flush.

The feature has been under experimental features for a long time, it's
time to enable it by default for end users.
This also means we can completely get rid of the current csum offload
for slow checksum algorithms, as there is no difference between slow and
fast csum generation anyway.
There is a minor behavior change for metadata writes, previously if the
checksum algorithm is slow, we will offload the metadata checksum
generation into a workqueue, and wait for the csum generation to finish
before submission.
That brings no concurrency improvement, and will only introduce extra
context switches as overhead. Now metadata checksum generation is always
inlined.
