From: Brian Foster Date: Tue, 29 Aug 2017 17:08:40 +0000 (-0700) Subject: xfs: disallow marking previously dirty buffers as ordered X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a5814bceea48ee1c57c4db2bd54b0c0246daf54a;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git xfs: disallow marking previously dirty buffers as ordered Ordered buffers are used in situations where the buffer is not physically logged but must pass through the transaction/logging pipeline for a particular transaction. As a result, ordered buffers are not unpinned and written back until the transaction commits to the log. Ordered buffers have a strict requirement that the target buffer must not be currently dirty and resident in the log pipeline at the time it is marked ordered. If a dirty+ordered buffer is committed, the buffer is reinserted to the AIL but not physically relogged at the LSN of the associated checkpoint. The buffer log item is assigned the LSN of the latest checkpoint and the AIL effectively releases the previously logged buffer content from the active log before the buffer has been written back. If the tail pushes forward and a filesystem crash occurs while in this state, an inconsistent filesystem could result. It is currently the caller responsibility to ensure an ordered buffer is not already dirty from a previous modification. This is unclear and error prone when not used in situations where it is guaranteed a buffer has not been previously modified (such as new metadata allocations). To facilitate general purpose use of ordered buffers, update xfs_trans_ordered_buf() to conditionally order the buffer based on state of the log item and return the status of the result. If the bli is dirty, do not order the buffer and return false. The caller must either physically log the buffer (having acquired the appropriate log reservation) or push it from the AIL to clean it before it can be marked ordered in the current transaction. Note that ordered buffers are currently only used in two situations: 1.) inode chunk allocation where previously logged buffers are not possible and 2.) extent swap which will be updated to handle ordered buffer failures in a separate patch.
