Subject[PATCH] xfs: account extra freespace btree splits for multiple allocations
Date
There is a long standing issue which could cause fs shutdown due to
inode extent-to-btree conversion failure right after an extent
allocation in the same AG, which is absolutely unexpected due to the
proper minleft reservation in the previous allocation. Brian once
addressed one of the root cause [1], however, such symptom can still
occur after the commit is merged as reported [2], and our cloud
environment is also suffering from this issue.

From the description of the commit [1], I found that Zirong has an
in-house stress test reproducer for this issue, therefore I asked him
to reproduce again and he confirmed that such issue can still be
reproduced on RHEL 9 in several days.

Thanks to him, after adding some debugging code to dump the current
transaction log items, I think the root cause is as below:

1. xfs_bmapi_allocate() with the following condition:
freeblks: 18304 pagf_flcount: 6
reservation: 18276 need (min_free): 6
args->minleft: 1
available = freeblks + agflcount - reservation - need - minleft
= 18304 + min(6, 6) - 18276 - 6 - 1 = 27
The first allocation check itself is ok, and args->maxlen = 27
here

At this time, AG 3 also has the following state:
1st:64 last:69 cnt:6 longest:6395

AGFL has the following state:
64:547 65:167 66:1651 67:2040807 68:783 69:604

2. Tried to get 27 blocks from this AG, but in order to finish such
allocation, it had to need a new btree block for cntbt (so take
another free block from agfl). It can be seen with a new AGF
recorded in the transaction:
blkno 62914177, len 1, map_size 1
00000000: 58 41 47 46 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 03 00 27 ff f0 XAGF.........'..
00000010: 00 00 00 09 00 00 00 07 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 02 ................
00000020: 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 41 00 00 00 45 ...........A...E
00000030: 00 00 00 05 00 00 47 65 00 00 18 fb 00 00 00 09 ......Ge........
00000040: 75 dc c1 b5 1a 45 40 2a 80 50 72 f0 59 6e 62 66 u....E@*.Pr.Ynbf

It can be parsed as:
agf 3 flfirst: 65 (0x41) fllast: 69 (0x45) cnt: 5
freeblks 18277

3. agfl 64 (agbno 547, daddr 62918552) was then written as a cntbt
block, which can also be seen in a log item as below:
type#011= 0x123c
flags#011= 0x8
blkno 62918552, len 8, map_size 1
00000000: 41 42 33 43 00 00 00 fd 00 1f 23 e4 ff ff ff ff AB3C......#.....
00000010: 00 00 00 00 03 c0 0f 98 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................
00000020: 75 dc c1 b5 1a 45 40 2a 80 50 72 f0 59 6e 62 66 u....E@*.Pr.Ynbf
...

4. Finally, the following inode extent to btree allocation fails
as below:
kernel: ------------[ cut here ]------------
WARNING: CPU: 15 PID: 49290 at fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_bmap.c:717 xfs_bmap_extents_to_btree+0xc51/0x1050 [xfs]
...
XFS (sda2): agno 3 agflcount 5 freeblks 18277 reservation 18276 6

since freeblks = 18304 - 27 = 18277, but with another agfl
block allocated (pagf_flcount from 6 to 5), the inequality will
not be satisfied:

available = freeblks + agflcount - reservation - need - minleft
= 18277 + min(5, 6) - 18276 - 6 - 0 = 0 < 1

Full current transaction log item dump can be fetched from [3].

As a short-term solution, the following allocations (e.g. allocation
for inode extent-to-btree conversion) can be recorded in order to count
more blocks to reserve for safely freespace btree splits so that it
will shorten available and args->maxlen to
available = freeblks + agflcount - reservation - need - minleft
= 18304 + min(6, 6) - 18276 - 6*2 - 1 = 21
args->maxlen = 21
in the first allocation, and the following conversion should then
succeed. At least, it's easy to be backported and do hotfix.

In the long term, args->total and args->minleft have be revisited
although it could cause more refactoring.
