A log recovery failure has been reproduced where a symlink inode has
a zero length in extent form. It was caused by a shutdown during a
combined fstress+fsmark workload.
The underlying problem is the issue in xfs_inactive_symlink(): the
inode is unlocked between the symlink inactivation/truncation and
the inode being freed. This opens a window for the inode to be
written to disk before it xfs_ifree() removes it from the unlinked
list, marks it free in the inobt and zeros the mode.
For shortform inodes, the fix is simple. xfs_ifree() clears the data
fork state, so there's no need to do it in xfs_inactive_symlink().
This means the shortform fork verifier will not see a zero length
data fork as it mirrors the inode size through to xfs_ifree()), and
hence if the inode gets written back and the fork verifiers are run
they will still see a fork that matches the on-disk inode size.
For extent form (remote) symlinks, it is a little more tricky. Here
we explicitly set the inode size to zero, so the above race can lead
to zero length symlinks on disk. Because the inode is unlinked at
this point (i.e. on the unlinked list) and unreferenced, it can
never be seen again by a user. Hence when we set the inode size to
zeor, also change the type to S_IFREG. xfs_ifree() expects S_IFREG
inodes to be of zero length, and so this avoids all the problems of
zero length symlinks ever hitting the disk. It also avoids the
problem of needing to handle zero length symlink inodes in log
recovery to replay the extent free intents and the remaining
deferops to free the extents the symlink used.
Also add a couple of asserts to warn us if zero length symlinks end
up in either the symlink create or inactivation paths.

Inodes that are held across deferred operations are explicitly
joined to the dfops structure to ensure appropriate relogging.
While inodes are currently joined explicitly, we can detect the
conditions that require relogging at dfops finish time by inspecting
the transaction item list for inodes with ili_lock_flags == 0.
Replace the xfs_defer_ijoin() infrastructure with such detection and
automatic relogging of held inodes. This eliminates the need for the
per-dfops inode list, replaced by an on-stack variant in

At this point, the transaction subsystem completely manages deferred
items internally such that the common and boilerplate
xfs_trans_alloc() -> xfs_defer_init() -> xfs_defer_finish() ->
xfs_trans_commit() sequence can be replaced with a simple
transaction allocation and commit.
Remove all such boilerplate deferred ops code. In doing so, we
change each case over to use the dfops in the transaction and
specifically eliminate:
- The on-stack dfops and associated xfs_defer_init() call, as the
internal dfops is initialized on transaction allocation.
- xfs_bmap_finish() calls that precede a final xfs_trans_commit() of
a transaction.
- xfs_defer_cancel() calls in error handlers that precede a
transaction cancel.
The only deferred ops calls that remain are those that are
non-deterministic with respect to the final commit of the associated
transaction or are open-coded due to special handling.

At this point we could remove the xfs_defer_init() firstblock

reinitialized in the new transaction on a transaction roll. Since
xfs_defer_init() should never occur more than once on a particular

xfs_inactive_symlink_rmt() does something nasty - it joins an inode
into a transaction it is already joined to. This means the inode can
have multiple log item descriptors attached to the transaction for
it. This breaks teh 1:1 mapping that is supposed to exist
between the log item and log item descriptor.
This results in the log item being processed twice during
transaction commit and CIL formatting, and there are lots of other
potential issues tha arise from double processing of log items in
the transaction commit state machine.
In this case, the inode is already held by the rolling transaction
returned from xfs_defer_finish(), so there's no need to join it
again.

holdover from the Irix days. Unfortunately, the constant establishing

which is 4096.
The kernel enforces its 1024 byte MAXPATHLEN on symlink targets, but
xfsprogs picks up the (Linux) system 4096 byte MAXPATHLEN, which means
that xfs_repair doesn't complain about oversized symlinks.

error = xfs_attr_thing(&args);
if (!error) {
error = xfs_bmap_finish(&args.trans, args.flist,

If the first xfs_attr_thing() failed, we'd skip the xfs_bmap_finish,

Fix this up by moving the committed state internal to xfs_bmap_finish,
and add a new inode argument. If an inode is passed in, it is passed
through to __xfs_trans_roll() and joined to the transaction there if
the transaction was committed.

The recent change to the readdir locking made in 40194ec ("xfs:
reinstate the ilock in xfs_readdir") for CXFS directory sanity was
probably the wrong thing to do. Deep in the readdir code we
can take page faults in the filldir callback, and so taking a page
fault while holding an inode ilock creates a new set of locking
issues that lockdep warns all over the place about.
The locking order for regular inodes w.r.t. page faults is io_lock
-> pagefault -> mmap_sem -> ilock. The directory readdir code now
triggers ilock -> page fault -> mmap_sem. While we cannot deadlock
at this point, it inverts all the locking patterns that lockdep
normally sees on XFS inodes, and so triggers lockdep. We worked
around this with commit 93a8614 ("xfs: fix directory inode iolock
lockdep false positive"), but that then just moved the lockdep
warning to deeper in the page fault path and triggered on security
inode locks. Fixing the shmem issue there just moved the lockdep
reports somewhere else, and now we are getting false positives from
filesystem freezing annotations getting confused.
Further, if we enter memory reclaim in a readdir path, we now get
lockdep warning about potential deadlocks because the ilock is held
when we enter reclaim. This, again, is different to a regular file
in that we never allow memory reclaim to run while holding the ilock
for regular files. Hence lockdep now throws
ilock->kmalloc->reclaim->ilock warnings.
Basically, the problem is that the ilock is being used to protect
the directory data and the inode metadata, whereas for a regular
file the iolock protects the data and the ilock protects the
metadata. From the VFS perspective, the i_mutex serialises all
accesses to the directory data, and so not holding the ilock for
readdir doesn't matter. The issue is that CXFS doesn't access
directory data via the VFS, so it has no "data serialisaton"
mechanism. Hence we need to hold the IOLOCK in the correct places to
provide this low level directory data access serialisation.
The ilock can then be used just when the extent list needs to be
read, just like we do for regular files. The directory modification
code can take the iolock exclusive when the ilock is also taken,
and this then ensures that readdir is correct excluded while
modifications are in progress.

XSLM is the V5 symlink block header magic (which happens to be

xfs_readlink_bmap() advanced cur_chunk by the size of the header
for CRC filesystems, but never actually used that pointer; it
kept reading from bp->b_addr, which is the start of the block,
rather than the start of the symlink data after the header.
Looks like this problem goes back to v3.10.

Al Viro noticed a generic set of issues to do with filehandle lookup
racing with dentry cache setup. They involve a filehandle lookup
occurring while an inode is being created and the filehandle lookup
racing with the dentry creation for the real file. This can lead to
multiple dentries for the one path being instantiated. There are a
host of other issues around this same set of paths.
The underlying cause is that file handle lookup only waits on inode
cache instantiation rather than full dentry cache instantiation. XFS
is mostly immune to the problems discovered due to it's own internal
inode cache, but there are a couple of corner cases where races can
happen.
We currently clear the XFS_INEW flag when the inode is fully set up
after insertion into the cache. Newly allocated inodes are inserted
locked and so aren't usable until the allocation transaction
commits. This, however, occurs before the dentry and security
information is fully initialised and hence the inode is unlocked and
available for lookups to find too early.
To solve the problem, only clear the XFS_INEW flag for newly created
inodes once the dentry is fully instantiated. This means lookups
will retry until the XFS_INEW flag is removed from the inode and
hence avoids the race conditions in questions.
THis also means that xfs_create(), xfs_create_tmpfile() and
xfs_symlink() need to finish the setup of the inode in their error
paths if we had allocated the inode but failed later in the creation
process. xfs_symlink(), in particular, needed a lot of help to make
it's error handling match that of xfs_create().

Move the resblks test out of the xfs_dir_canenter,
and into the caller.
This makes a little more sense on the face of it;
xfs_dir_canenter immediately returns if resblks !=0;
and given some of the comments preceding the calls:
* Check for ability to enter directory entry, if no space reserved.
even more so.
It also facilitates the next patch.

Convert all the errors the core XFs code to negative error signs
like the rest of the kernel and remove all the sign conversion we
do in the interface layers.
Errors for conversion (and comparison) found via searches like:
$ git grep " E" fs/xfs
$ git grep "return E" fs/xfs
$ git grep " E[A-Z].*;$" fs/xfs
Negation points found via searches like:
$ git grep "= -[a-z,A-Z]" fs/xfs
$ git grep "return -[a-z,A-D,F-Z]" fs/xfs
$ git grep " -[a-z].*;" fs/xfs
[ with some bits I missed from Brian Foster ]

XFS_ERROR was designed long ago to trap return values, but it's not
runtime configurable, it's not consistently used, and we can do
similar error trapping with ftrace scripts and triggers from
userspace.
Just nuke XFS_ERROR and associated bits.
