xfs: fix quota block reservation leak when tp allocates and frees blocks
Al Viro reports that generic/231 fails frequently on XFS and bisected the problem to the following commit: 5d11fb4b xfs: rework zero range to prevent invalid i_size updates ... which is just the first commit that happens to cause fsx to reproduce the problem. fsx reproduces via zero range calls. The aforementioned commit overhauls zero range to use hole punch and fallocate. As it turns out, the problem is reproducible on demand using basic hole punch as follows: $ mkfs.xfs -f -m crc=1,finobt=1 <dev> $ mount <dev> /mnt -o uquota $ xfs_io -f -c "falloc 0 50m" /mnt/file $ for i in $(seq 1 20); do xfs_io -c "fpunch ${i}m 32k" /mnt/file; done $ rm -f /mnt/file $ repquota -us /mnt ... User used soft hard grace used soft hard grace ---------------------------------------------------------------------- root -- 32K 0K 0K 3 0 0 A file is allocated with a single 50m extent. The extent count increases via hole punches until the bmap converts to btree format. The file is removed but quota reports 32k of space usage for the user. This reservation is effectively leaked for the lifetime of the mount. The reason this occurs is because the quota block reservation tracking is confused when a transaction happens to free and allocate blocks at the same time. Consider the following sequence of events: - tp is allocated from xfs_free_file_space() and reserves several blocks for btree management. Blocks are reserved against the dquot and marked as such in the transaction (qtrx->qt_blk_res). - 8 blocks are accounted free when the 32k range is punched out. xfs_trans_mod_dquot() is called with XFS_TRANS_DQ_BCOUNT and sets ->qt_bcount_delta to -8. - Subsequently, a block is allocated against the same transaction by xfs_bmap_extents_to_btree() for btree conversion. A call to xfs_trans_mod_dquot() increases qt_blk_res_used to 1 and qt_bcount_delta to -7. - The transaction is dup'd and committed by xfs_bmap_finish(). xfs_trans_dup_dqinfo() sets the first transaction up such that it has a matching qt_blk_res and qt_blk_res_used of 1. The remaining unused reservation is transferred to the duplicate tp. When the transactions are committed, the dquots are fixed up in xfs_trans_apply_dquot_deltas() according to one of two methods: 1.) If the transaction holds a block reservation (->qt_blk_res != 0), _only_ the unused portion reservation is unaccounted from the dquot. Note that the tp duplication behavior of xfs_bmap_finish() makes it such that qt_blk_res is typically 0 for tp's with unused reservation. 2.) Otherwise, the dquot is fixed up based on the block delta (->qt_bcount_delta) created by the transaction. Therefore, if a transaction has a negative qt_bcount_delta and positive qt_blk_res_used, the former set of blocks that have been removed from the file are never factored out of the in-core dquot reservation. Instead, *_apply_dquot_deltas() sees 1 block used out of a 1 block reservation and believes there is nothing to fix up. The on-disk d_bcount is updated independently from qt_bcount_delta, and thus is correct (and allows the quota usage to correct on remount). To deal with this situation, we effectively want the "used reservation" part of the transaction to be consistent with any freed blocks with respect to quota tracking. For example, if 8 blocks are freed, the subsequent single block allocation does not need to consume the initial reservation made by the tp. Instead, it simply borrows one from the previously freed. One possible implementation of such borrowing is to avoid the blks_res_used increment when bcount_delta is negative. This alone is flawed logic in that it only handles the case where blocks are freed before allocated, however. Rather than add more complexity to manage synchronization between bcount_delta and blks_res_used, kill the latter entirely. blk_res_used is only updated in one place and always in sync with delta_bcount. Therefore, the net block reservation consumption of the transaction is always available from bcount_delta. Calculate the reservation consumption on the fly where necessary based on whether the tp has a reservation and results in a positive net block delta on the inode.
