7f42ec3941 nilfs2: fix issue with race condition of competition between segments for dirty blocks
Many NILFS2 users were reported about strange file system corruption
(for example):

   NILFS: bad btree node (blocknr=185027): level = 0, flags = 0x0, nchildren = 768
   NILFS error (device sda4): nilfs_bmap_last_key: broken bmap (inode number=11540)

But such error messages are consequence of file system's issue that takes
place more earlier.  Fortunately, Jerome Poulin <jeromepoulin@gmail.com>
and Anton Eliasson <devel@antoneliasson.se> were reported about another
issue not so recently.  These reports describe the issue with segctor
thread's crash:

  BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 0000000000004c83
  IP: nilfs_end_page_io+0x12/0xd0 [nilfs2]

  Call Trace:
   nilfs_segctor_do_construct+0xf25/0x1b20 [nilfs2]
   nilfs_segctor_construct+0x17b/0x290 [nilfs2]
   nilfs_segctor_thread+0x122/0x3b0 [nilfs2]
   kthread+0xc0/0xd0
   ret_from_fork+0x7c/0xb0

These two issues have one reason.  This reason can raise third issue
too.  Third issue results in hanging of segctor thread with eating of
100% CPU.

REPRODUCING PATH:

One of the possible way or the issue reproducing was described by
Jermoe me Poulin <jeromepoulin@gmail.com>:

1. init S to get to single user mode.
2. sysrq+E to make sure only my shell is running
3. start network-manager to get my wifi connection up
4. login as root and launch "screen"
5. cd /boot/log/nilfs which is a ext3 mount point and can log when NILFS dies.
6. lscp | xz -9e > lscp.txt.xz
7. mount my snapshot using mount -o cp=3360839,ro /dev/vgUbuntu/root /mnt/nilfs
8. start a screen to dump /proc/kmsg to text file since rsyslog is killed
9. start a screen and launch strace -f -o find-cat.log -t find
/mnt/nilfs -type f -exec cat {} > /dev/null \;
10. start a screen and launch strace -f -o apt-get.log -t apt-get update
11. launch the last command again as it did not crash the first time
12. apt-get crashes
13. ps aux > ps-aux-crashed.log
13. sysrq+W
14. sysrq+E  wait for everything to terminate
15. sysrq+SUSB

Simplified way of the issue reproducing is starting kernel compilation
task and "apt-get update" in parallel.

REPRODUCIBILITY:

The issue is reproduced not stable [60% - 80%].  It is very important to
have proper environment for the issue reproducing.  The critical
conditions for successful reproducing:

(1) It should have big modified file by mmap() way.

(2) This file should have the count of dirty blocks are greater that
    several segments in size (for example, two or three) from time to time
    during processing.

(3) It should be intensive background activity of files modification
    in another thread.

INVESTIGATION:

First of all, it is possible to see that the reason of crash is not valid
page address:

  NILFS [nilfs_segctor_complete_write]:2100 bh->b_count 0, bh->b_blocknr 13895680, bh->b_size 13897727, bh->b_page 0000000000001a82
  NILFS [nilfs_segctor_complete_write]:2101 segbuf->sb_segnum 6783

Moreover, value of b_page (0x1a82) is 6786.  This value looks like segment
number.  And b_blocknr with b_size values look like block numbers.  So,
buffer_head's pointer points on not proper address value.

Detailed investigation of the issue is discovered such picture:

  IP: [<ffffffffa024d0f2>] nilfs_end_page_io+0x12/0xd0 [nilfs2]

Usually, for every segment we collect dirty files in list.  Then, dirty
blocks are gathered for every dirty file, prepared for write and
submitted by means of nilfs_segbuf_submit_bh() call.  Finally, it takes
place complete write phase after calling nilfs_end_bio_write() on the
block layer.  Buffers/pages are marked as not dirty on final phase and
processed files removed from the list of dirty files.

It is possible to see that we had three prepare_write and submit_bio
phases before segbuf_wait and complete_write phase.  Moreover, segments
compete between each other for dirty blocks because on every iteration
of segments processing dirty buffer_heads are added in several lists of
payload_buffers:

  [SEGMENT 6784]: bh->b_assoc_buffers.next ffff880218a0d5f8, bh->b_assoc_buffers.prev ffff880218bcdf50
  [SEGMENT 6785]: bh->b_assoc_buffers.next ffff880218a0d5f8, bh->b_assoc_buffers.prev ffff880222cc7ee8

The next pointer is the same but prev pointer has changed.  It means
that buffer_head has next pointer from one list but prev pointer from
another.  Such modification can be made several times.  And, finally, it
can be resulted in various issues: (1) segctor hanging, (2) segctor
crashing, (3) file system metadata corruption.

FIX:
This patch adds:

(1) setting of BH_Async_Write flag in nilfs_segctor_prepare_write()
    for every proccessed dirty block;

(2) checking of BH_Async_Write flag in
    nilfs_lookup_dirty_data_buffers() and
    nilfs_lookup_dirty_node_buffers();

(3) clearing of BH_Async_Write flag in nilfs_segctor_complete_write(),
    nilfs_abort_logs(), nilfs_forget_buffer(), nilfs_clear_dirty_page().

8c26c4e269 nilfs2: fix issue with flush kernel thread after remount in RO mode because of driver's internal error or metadata corruption
The NILFS2 driver remounts itself in RO mode in the case of discovering
metadata corruption (for example, discovering a broken bmap).  But
usually, this takes place when there have been file system operations
before remounting in RO mode.

Thereby, NILFS2 driver can be in RO mode with presence of dirty pages in
modified inodes' address spaces.  It results in flush kernel thread's
infinite trying to flush dirty pages in RO mode.  As a result, it is
possible to see such side effects as: (1) flush kernel thread occupies
50% - 99% of CPU time; (2) system can't be shutdowned without manual
power switch off.

SYMPTOMS:
(1) System log contains error message: "Remounting filesystem read-only".
(2) The flush kernel thread occupies 50% - 99% of CPU time.
(3) The system can't be shutdowned without manual power switch off.

REPRODUCTION PATH:
(1) Create volume group with name "unencrypted" by means of vgcreate utility.
(2) Run script (prepared by Anthony Doggett <Anthony2486@interfaces.org.uk>):

  ----------------[BEGIN SCRIPT]--------------------
  #!/bin/bash

  VG=unencrypted
  #apt-get install nilfs-tools darcs
  lvcreate --size 2G --name ntest $VG
  mkfs.nilfs2 -b 1024 -B 8192 /dev/mapper/$VG-ntest
  mkdir /var/tmp/n
  mkdir /var/tmp/n/ntest
  mount /dev/mapper/$VG-ntest /var/tmp/n/ntest
  mkdir /var/tmp/n/ntest/thedir
  cd /var/tmp/n/ntest/thedir
  sleep 2

  darcs init
  sleep 2
  dmesg|tail -n 5
  date
  darcs whatsnew || true
  date
  sleep 2
  dmesg|tail -n 5
  ----------------[END SCRIPT]--------------------

(3) Try to shutdown the system.

REPRODUCIBILITY: 100%

FIX:

This patch implements checking mount state of NILFS2 driver in
nilfs_writepage(), nilfs_writepages() and nilfs_mdt_write_page()
methods.  If it is detected the RO mount state then all dirty pages are
simply discarded with warning messages is written in system log.

252aa6f5be mm: redefine address_space.assoc_mapping
Overhaul struct address_space.assoc_mapping renaming it to
address_space.private_data and its type is redefined to void*.  By this
approach we consistently name the .private_* elements from struct
address_space as well as allow extended usage for address_space
association with other data structures through ->private_data.

Also, all users of old ->assoc_mapping element are converted to reflect
its new name and type change (->private_data).

1cb2d38cb3 nilfs2: get rid of private page allocator
Previously, nilfs was cloning pages for mmapped region to freeze their
data and ensure consistency of checksum during writeback cycles.  A
private page allocator was used for this page cloning.  But, we no
longer need to do that since clear_page_dirty_for_io function sets up
pte so that vm_ops->page_mkwrite function is called right before the
mmapped pages are modified and nilfs_page_mkwrite function can safely
wait for the pages to be written back to disk.

So, this stops making a copy of mmapped pages during writeback, and
eliminates the private page allocation and deallocation functions from
nilfs.

This oops was brought in by the change "block: remove per-queue
plugging" (commit: 7eaceaccab).  It initializes mapping->a_ops
with a NULL pointer for some pages in nilfs (e.g. btree node pages),
but mm code doesn't NULL pointer checks against mapping->a_ops. (the
check is done for each callback function)

This corrects the aops initialization and fixes the oops.

2aa15890f3 mm: prevent concurrent unmap_mapping_range() on the same inode
Michael Leun reported that running parallel opens on a fuse filesystem
can trigger a "kernel BUG at mm/truncate.c:475"

Gurudas Pai reported the same bug on NFS.

The reason is, unmap_mapping_range() is not prepared for more than
one concurrent invocation per inode.  For example:

  thread1: going through a big range, stops in the middle of a vma and
     stores the restart address in vm_truncate_count.

  thread2: comes in with a small (e.g. single page) unmap request on
     the same vma, somewhere before restart_address, finds that the
     vma was already unmapped up to the restart address and happily
     returns without doing anything.

Another scenario would be two big unmap requests, both having to
restart the unmapping and each one setting vm_truncate_count to its
own value.  This could go on forever without any of them being able to
finish.

Truncate and hole punching already serialize with i_mutex.  Other
callers of unmap_mapping_range() do not, and it's difficult to get
i_mutex protection for all callers.  In particular ->d_revalidate(),
which calls invalidate_inode_pages2_range() in fuse, may be called
with or without i_mutex.

This patch adds a new mutex to 'struct address_space' to prevent
running multiple concurrent unmap_mapping_range() on the same mapping.

[ We'll hopefully get rid of all this with the upcoming mm
  preemptibility series by Peter Zijlstra, the "mm: Remove i_mmap_mutex
  lockbreak" patch in particular.  But that is for 2.6.39 ]

622daaff0a nilfs2: fiemap support
This adds fiemap to nilfs.  Two new functions, nilfs_fiemap and
nilfs_find_uncommitted_extent are added.

nilfs_fiemap() implements the fiemap inode operation, and
nilfs_find_uncommitted_extent() helps to get a range of data blocks
whose physical location has not been determined.

nilfs_fiemap() collects extent information by looping through
nilfs_bmap_lookup_contig and nilfs_find_uncommitted_extent routines.

b1f6a4f294 nilfs2: add routines to redirect access to buffers of DAT file
During garbage collection (GC), DAT file, which converts virtual block
number to real block number, may return disk block number that is not
yet written to the device.

To avoid access to unwritten blocks, the current implementation stores
changes to the caches of GCDAT during GC and atomically commit the
changes into the DAT file after they are written to the device.

This patch, instead, adds a function that makes a copy of specified
buffer and stores it in nilfs_shadow_map, and a function to get the
backup copy as needed (nilfs_mdt_freeze_buffer and
nilfs_mdt_get_frozen_buffer respectively).

Before DAT changes block number in an entry block, it makes a copy and
redirect access to the buffer so that address conversion function
(i.e. nilfs_dat_translate) refers to the old address saved in the
copy.

This patch gives requisites for such redirection.

ebdfed4dc5 nilfs2: add routines to roll back state of DAT file
This adds optional function to metadata files which makes a copy of
bmap, page caches, and b-tree node cache, and rolls back to the copy
as needed.

This enhancement is intended to displace gcdat inode that provides a
similar function in a different way.

In this patch, nilfs_shadow_map structure is added to store a copy of
the foregoing states.  nilfs_mdt_setup_shadow_map relates this
structure to a metadata file.  And, nilfs_mdt_save_to_shadow_map() and
nilfs_mdt_restore_from_shadow_map() provides save and restore
functions respectively.  Finally, nilfs_mdt_clear_shadow_map() clears
states of nilfs_shadow_map.

The copy of b-tree node cache and page cache is made by duplicating
only dirty pages into corresponding caches in nilfs_shadow_map.  Their
restoration is done by clearing dirty pages from original caches and
by copying dirty pages back from nilfs_shadow_map.

5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

843382370e nilfs2: ensure to clear dirty state when deleting metadata file block
This would fix the following failure during GC:

 nilfs_cpfile_delete_checkpoints: cannot delete block
 NILFS: GC failed during preparation: cannot delete checkpoints: err=-2

The problem was caused by a break in state consistency between page
cache and btree; the above block was removed from the btree but the
page buffering the block was remaining in the page cache in dirty
state.

This resolves the inconsistency by ensuring to clear dirty state of
the page buffering the deleted block.

0bd49f9446 nilfs2: buffer and page operations
This adds common routines for buffer/page operations used in B-tree
node caches, meta data files, or segment constructor (log writer).

NILFS uses copy functions for buffers and pages due to the following
reasons:

 1) Relocation required for COW
    Since NILFS changes address of on-disk blocks, moving buffers
    in page cache is needed for the buffers which are not addressed
    by a file offset.  If buffer size is smaller than page size,
    this involves partial copy of pages.

 2) Freezing mmapped pages
    NILFS calculates checksums for each log to ensure its validity.
    If page data changes after the checksum calculation, this validity
    check will not work correctly.  To avoid this failure for mmaped
    pages, NILFS freezes their data by copying.

 3) Copy-on-write for DAT pages
    NILFS makes clones of DAT page caches in a copy-on-write manner
    during GC processes, and this ensures atomicity and consistency
    of the DAT in the transient state.

In addition, NILFS uses two obsolete functions, nilfs_mark_buffer_dirty()
and nilfs_clear_page_dirty() respectively.

* nilfs_mark_buffer_dirty() was required to avoid NULL pointer
  dereference faults:

  Since the page cache of B-tree node pages or data page cache of pseudo
  inodes does not have a valid mapping->host, calling mark_buffer_dirty()
  for their buffers causes the fault; it calls __mark_inode_dirty(NULL)
  through __set_page_dirty().

* nilfs_clear_page_dirty() was needed in the two cases:

 1) For B-tree node pages and data pages of the dat/gcdat, NILFS2 clears
    page dirty flags when it copies back pages from the cloned cache
    (gcdat->{i_mapping,i_btnode_cache}) to its original cache
    (dat->{i_mapping,i_btnode_cache}).

 2) Some B-tree operations like insertion or deletion may dispose buffers
    in dirty state, and this needs to cancel the dirty state of their
    pages.  clear_page_dirty_for_io() caused faults because it does not
    clear the dirty tag on the page cache.
