f2fs:compress: Update isize after compress_write_end, otherwise apendwriting some files would fail when cluster.idx did not add

Jaegeuk Kim and others added 3 commits May 24, 2020 20:57
Previously, there was a bug where user could see stale buffer cache (e.g, 512B)
attached in the 4KB-sized pager cache, when the block size was changed from
512B to 4KB. That was fixed by:
commit 5db470e ("loop: drop caches if offset or block_size are changed")

But, there were some regression reports saying the fix returns EAGAIN easily.
So, this patch removes previously added EAGAIN condition, nrpages != 0.

Instead, it changes the flow like this:
- sync_blockdev()
- blk_mq_freeze_queue()
 : change the loop configuration
- blk_mq_unfreeze_queue()
- sync_blockdev()
- invalidate_bdev()

After invalidating the buffer cache, we must see the full valid 4KB page.

Additional concern came from Bart in which we can lose some data when
changing the lo_offset. In that case, this patch adds:
- sync_blockdev()
- blk_set_queue_dying
- blk_mq_freeze_queue()
 : change the loop configuration
- blk_mq_unfreeze_queue()
- blk_queue_flag_clear(QUEUE_FLAG_DYING);
- sync_blockdev()
- invalidate_bdev()

As Jiaming Zhang and syzbot reported, there is potential deadlock in
f2fs as below:

Chain exists of:
  &sbi->cp_rwsem --> fs_reclaim --> sb_internal#2

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  rlock(sb_internal#2);
                               lock(fs_reclaim);
                               lock(sb_internal#2);
  rlock(&sbi->cp_rwsem);

The root cause is deadlock among four locks as below:

kswapd
- fs_reclaim				--- Lock A
 - shrink_one
  - evict
   - f2fs_evict_inode
    - sb_start_intwrite			--- Lock B

- iput
 - evict
  - f2fs_evict_inode
   - sb_start_intwrite			--- Lock B
   - f2fs_truncate
    - f2fs_truncate_blocks
     - f2fs_do_truncate_blocks
      - f2fs_lock_op			--- Lock C

ioctl
- f2fs_ioc_commit_atomic_write
 - f2fs_lock_op				--- Lock C
  - __f2fs_commit_atomic_write
   - __replace_atomic_write_block
    - f2fs_get_dnode_of_data
     - __get_node_folio
      - f2fs_check_nid_range
       - f2fs_handle_error
        - f2fs_record_errors
         - f2fs_down_write		--- Lock D

open
- do_open
 - do_truncate
  - security_inode_need_killpriv
   - f2fs_getxattr
    - lookup_all_xattrs
     - f2fs_handle_error
      - f2fs_record_errors
       - f2fs_down_write		--- Lock D
        - f2fs_commit_super
         - read_mapping_folio
          - filemap_alloc_folio_noprof
           - prepare_alloc_pages
            - fs_reclaim_acquire	--- Lock A

In order to avoid such deadlock, we need to avoid grabbing sb_lock in
f2fs_handle_error(), so, let's use asynchronous method instead:
- remove f2fs_handle_error() implementation
- rename f2fs_handle_error_async() to f2fs_handle_error()
- spread f2fs_handle_error()

The bug was triggered w/ below race condition:

fsync				setattr			ioctl
- f2fs_do_sync_file
 - file_write_and_wait_range
  - f2fs_write_cache_pages
  : inode is non-compressed
  : cc.cluster_size =

   - tag_pages_for_writeback

				 - truncate_setsize

							 - f2fs_setflags_common
							  - set_compress_context
							  : F2FS_I(inode)->i_cluster_size = 4
							  : set_inode_flag(inode, FI_COMPRESSED_FILE)
   - f2fs_compressed_file
   : return true
   - f2fs_all_cluster_page_ready
   : "pgidx % cc->cluster_size" trigger dividing 0 issue

Let's change as below to fix this issue:
- introduce a new atomic type variable .writeback in structure f2fs_inode_info
to track the number of threads which calling f2fs_write_cache_pages().
- use .i_sem lock to protect .writeback update.
- check .writeback before update compression context in f2fs_setflags_common()
to avoid race w/ ->writepages.

The bug can be reproduced w/ below scripts:
- mount /dev/vdb /mnt1
- mount /dev/vdc /mnt2
- umount /mnt1
- mounnt /dev/vdb /mnt1

The reason is if we created two slab caches, named f2fs_xattr_entry-7:3
and f2fs_xattr_entry-7:7, and they have the same slab size. Actually,
slab system will only create one slab cache core structure which has
slab name of "f2fs_xattr_entry-7:3", and two slab caches share the same
structure and cache address.

So, if we destroy f2fs_xattr_entry-7:3 cache w/ cache address, it will
decrease reference count of slab cache, rather than release slab cache
entirely, since there is one more user has referenced the cache.

Then, if we try to create slab cache w/ name "f2fs_xattr_entry-7:3" again,
slab system will find that there is existed cache which has the same name
and trigger the warning.

Let's changes to use global inline_xattr_slab instead of per-sb slab cache
for fixing.

It appears that sometimes it is possible that f2fs_put_super() is called before
all node page reads are completed.
Adding a call to f2fs_wait_on_all_pages() for F2FS_RD_NODE fixes the problem.

kbd_led_set() can sleep, and so may not be used as the brightness_set()
callback.

Otherwise using this led with a trigger leads to system hangs

At the moment - the memory allocation for fwsec-sb is created as-needed and
is released after being used. Typically this is at some point well after
driver load, which can cause runtime suspend/resume to initially work on
driver load but then later fail on a machine that has been running for long
enough with sufficiently high enough memory pressure:

The reason this happens is because the fwsec-sb firmware image only
supports being booted from a contiguous coherent sysmem allocation. If a
system runs into enough memory fragmentation from memory pressure, such as
what can happen on systems with low amounts of memory, this can lead to a
situation where it later becomes impossible to find space for a large
enough contiguous allocation to hold fwsec-sb. This causes us to fail to
boot the firmware image, causing the GPU to fail booting and causing the
driver to fail.

Since this firmware can't use non-contiguous allocations, the best solution
to avoid this issue is to simply allocate the memory for fwsec-sb during
initial driver-load, and reuse the memory allocation when fwsec-sb needs to
be used. We then release the memory allocations on driver unload.

This is caused by the i2c encoder modules vendored into nouveau/ now
depending on the equally vendored nouveau_i2c_encoder_destroy
function. Trying to auto-load this modules hangs on nouveau
initialization until timeout, and nouveau continues without i2c video
encoders.

Fix by avoiding nouveau dependency by __always_inlining that helper
functions into those i2c video encoder modules.
