Btrfs: Add async worker threads for pre and post IO checksumming

Btrfs has been using workqueues to spread the checksumming load across
other CPUs in the system. But, workqueues only schedule work on the
same CPU that queued the work, giving them a limited benefit for systems with
higher CPU counts.

This code adds a generic facility to schedule work with pools of kthreads,
and changes the bio submission code to queue bios up. The queueing is
important to make sure large numbers of procs on the system don't
turn streaming workloads into random workloads by sending IO down
concurrently.

The end result of all of this is much higher performance (and CPU usage) when
doing checksumming on large machines. Two worker pools are created,
one for writes and one for endio processing. The two could deadlock if
we tried to service both from a single pool.

Btrfs: fix crash during unmount due to race with delayed inode workers

During unmount we can have a job from the delayed inode items work queue
still running, that can lead to at least two bad things:

1) A crash, because the worker can try to create a transaction just
after the fs roots were freed;

2) A transaction leak, because the worker can create a transaction
before the fs roots are freed and just after we committed the last
transaction and after we stopped the transaction kthread.

A stack trace example of the crash:

The following diagram shows a sequence of steps that lead to the crash
during ummount of the filesystem:

CPU 1 CPU 2 CPU 3

btrfs_punch_hole()
btrfs_btree_balance_dirty()
btrfs_balance_delayed_items()
--> sees
fs_info->delayed_root->items
with value 200, which is greater
than
BTRFS_DELAYED_BACKGROUND (128)
and smaller than
BTRFS_DELAYED_WRITEBACK (512)
btrfs_wq_run_delayed_node()
--> queues a job for
fs_info->delayed_workers to run
btrfs_async_run_delayed_root()

btrfs_async_run_delayed_root()
--> job queued by CPU 1

--> starts picking and running
delayed nodes from the
prepare_list list

close_ctree()

btrfs_delete_unused_bgs()

btrfs_commit_super()

btrfs_join_transaction()
--> gets transaction N

btrfs_commit_transaction(N)
--> set transaction state
to TRANTS_STATE_COMMIT_START

btrfs_first_prepared_delayed_node()
--> picks delayed node X through
the prepared_list list

btrfs_run_delayed_items()

btrfs_first_delayed_node()
--> also picks delayed node X
but through the node_list
list

__btrfs_commit_inode_delayed_items()
--> runs all delayed items from
this node and drops the
node's item count to 0
through call to
btrfs_release_delayed_inode()

--> finishes running any remaining
delayed nodes

--> finishes transaction commit

--> stops cleaner and transaction threads

btrfs_free_fs_roots()
--> frees all roots and removes them
from the radix tree
fs_info->fs_roots_radix

btrfs_join_transaction()
start_transaction()
btrfs_record_root_in_trans()
record_root_in_trans()
radix_tree_tag_set()
--> crashes because
the root is not in
the radix tree
anymore

If the worker is able to call btrfs_join_transaction() before the unmount
task frees the fs roots, we end up leaking a transaction and all its
resources, since after the call to btrfs_commit_super() and stopping the
transaction kthread, we don't expect to have any transaction open anymore.

When this situation happens the worker has a delayed node that has no
more items to run, since the task calling btrfs_run_delayed_items(),
which is doing a transaction commit, picks the same node and runs all
its items first.

We can not wait for the worker to complete when running delayed items
through btrfs_run_delayed_items(), because we call that function in
several phases of a transaction commit, and that could cause a deadlock
because the worker calls btrfs_join_transaction() and the task doing the
transaction commit may have already set the transaction state to
TRANS_STATE_COMMIT_DOING.

Also it's not possible to get into a situation where only some of the
items of a delayed node are added to the fs/subvolume tree in the current
transaction and the remaining ones in the next transaction, because when
running the items of a delayed inode we lock its mutex, effectively
waiting for the worker if the worker is running the items of the delayed
node already.

Since this can only cause issues when unmounting a filesystem, fix it in
a simple way by waiting for any jobs on the delayed workers queue before
calling btrfs_commit_supper() at close_ctree(). This works because at this
point no one can call btrfs_btree_balance_dirty() or
btrfs_balance_delayed_items(), and if we end up waiting for any worker to
complete, btrfs_commit_super() will commit the transaction created by the
worker.

btrfs: get rid of pointless wtag variable in async-thread.c

Commit ac0c7cf8be00 ("btrfs: fix crash when tracepoint arguments are
freed by wq callbacks") added a void pointer, wtag, which is passed into
trace_btrfs_all_work_done() instead of the freed work item. This is
silly for a few reasons:

1. The freed work item still has the same address.
2. work is still in scope after it's freed, so assigning wtag doesn't
stop anyone from using it.
3. The tracepoint has always taken a void * argument, so assigning wtag
doesn't actually make things any more type-safe. (Note that the
original bug in commit bc074524e123 ("btrfs: prefix fsid to all trace
events") was that the void * was implicitly casted when it was passed
to btrfs_work_owner() in the trace point itself).

Instead, let's add some clearer warnings as comments.

btrfs: get rid of unique workqueue helper functions

Commit 9e0af2376434 ("Btrfs: fix task hang under heavy compressed
write") worked around the issue that a recycled work item could get a
false dependency on the original work item due to how the workqueue code
guarantees non-reentrancy. It did so by giving different work functions
to different types of work.

However, the fixes in the previous few patches are more complete, as
they prevent a work item from being recycled at all (except for a tiny
window that the kernel workqueue code handles for us). This obsoletes
the previous fix, so we don't need the unique helpers for correctness.
The only other reason to keep them would be so they show up in stack
traces, but they always seem to be optimized to a tail call, so they
don't show up anyways. So, let's just get rid of the extra indirection.

While we're here, rename normal_work_helper() to the more informative
btrfs_work_helper().

btrfs: don't prematurely free work in run_ordered_work()

We hit the following very strange deadlock on a system with Btrfs on a
loop device backed by another Btrfs filesystem:

1. The top (loop device) filesystem queues an async_cow work item from
cow_file_range_async(). We'll call this work X.
2. Worker thread A starts work X (normal_work_helper()).
3. Worker thread A executes the ordered work for the top filesystem
(run_ordered_work()).
4. Worker thread A finishes the ordered work for work X and frees X
(work->ordered_free()).
5. Worker thread A executes another ordered work and gets blocked on I/O
to the bottom filesystem (still in run_ordered_work()).
6. Meanwhile, the bottom filesystem allocates and queues an async_cow
work item which happens to be the recently-freed X.
7. The workqueue code sees that X is already being executed by worker
thread A, so it schedules X to be executed _after_ worker thread A
finishes (see the find_worker_executing_work() call in
process_one_work()).

Now, the top filesystem is waiting for I/O on the bottom filesystem, but
the bottom filesystem is waiting for the top filesystem to finish, so we
deadlock.

This happens because we are breaking the workqueue assumption that a
work item cannot be recycled while it still depends on other work. Fix
it by waiting to free the work item until we are done with all of the
related ordered work.

P.S.:

One might ask why the workqueue code doesn't try to detect a recycled
work item. It actually does try by checking whether the work item has
the same work function (find_worker_executing_work()), but in our case
the function is the same. This is the only key that the workqueue code
has available to compare, short of adding an additional, layer-violating
"custom key". Considering that we're the only ones that have ever hit
this, we should just play by the rules.

Unfortunately, we haven't been able to create a minimal reproducer other
than our full container setup using a compress-force=zstd filesystem on
top of another compress-force=zstd filesystem.

The huge numbers above come from insane number of async_work-s allocated
and queued by btrfs_wq_run_delayed_node.

The problem is caused by btrfs_wq_run_delayed_node() queuing more and more
works if the number of delayed items is above BTRFS_DELAYED_BACKGROUND. The
worker func (btrfs_async_run_delayed_root) processes at least
BTRFS_DELAYED_BATCH items (if they are present in the list). So, the machinery
works as expected while the list is almost empty. As soon as it is getting
bigger, worker func starts to process more than one item at a time, it takes
longer, and the chances to have async_works queued more than needed is getting
higher.

The problem above is worsened by another flaw of delayed-inode implementation:
if async_work was queued in a throttling branch (number of items >=
BTRFS_DELAYED_WRITEBACK), corresponding worker func won't quit until
the number of items < BTRFS_DELAYED_BACKGROUND / 2. So, it is possible that
the func occupies CPU infinitely (up to 30sec in my experiments): while the
func is trying to drain the list, the user activity may add more and more
items to the list.

The patch fixes both problems in straightforward way: refuse queuing too
many works in btrfs_wq_run_delayed_node and bail out of worker func if
at least BTRFS_DELAYED_WRITEBACK items are processed.

Changed in v2: remove support of thresh == NO_THRESHOLD.

*** DEADLOCK ***

Reason:
Above warning is caused by:
Interrupt
-> bio_endio()
-> ...
-> scrub_put_ctx()
-> scrub_free_ctx() *1
-> ...
-> mutex_lock(&wr_ctx->wr_lock);

scrub_put_ctx() is allowed to be called in end_bio interrupt, but
in code design, it will never call scrub_free_ctx(sctx) in interrupe
context(above *1), because btrfs_scrub_dev() get one additional
reference of sctx->refs, which makes scrub_free_ctx() only called
withine btrfs_scrub_dev().

Now the code runs out of our wish, because free sequence in
scrub_pending_bio_dec() have a gap.

Current code:
-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------
scrub_pending_bio_dec() | btrfs_scrub_dev
-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------
atomic_dec(&sctx->bios_in_flight); |
wake_up(&sctx->list_wait); |
| scrub_put_ctx()
| -> atomic_dec_and_test(&sctx->refs)
scrub_put_ctx(sctx); |
-> atomic_dec_and_test(&sctx->refs)|
-> scrub_free_ctx() |
-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------

We expected:
-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------
scrub_pending_bio_dec() | btrfs_scrub_dev
-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------
atomic_dec(&sctx->bios_in_flight); |
wake_up(&sctx->list_wait); |
scrub_put_ctx(sctx); |
-> atomic_dec_and_test(&sctx->refs)|
| scrub_put_ctx()
| -> atomic_dec_and_test(&sctx->refs)
| -> scrub_free_ctx()
-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------

Fix:
Move scrub_pending_bio_dec() to a workqueue, to avoid this function run
in interrupt context.
Tested by check tracelog in debug.

Changelog v1->v2:
Use workqueue instead of adjust function call sequence in v1,
because v1 will introduce a bug pointed out by:

Btrfs: implement repair function when direct read fails

This patch implement data repair function when direct read fails.

The detail of the implementation is:
- When we find the data is not right, we try to read the data from the other
mirror.
- When the io on the mirror ends, we will insert the endio work into the
dedicated btrfs workqueue, not common read endio workqueue, because the
original endio work is still blocked in the btrfs endio workqueue, if we
insert the endio work of the io on the mirror into that workqueue, deadlock
would happen.
- After we get right data, we write it back to the corrupted mirror.
- And if the data on the new mirror is still corrupted, we will try next
mirror until we read right data or all the mirrors are traversed.
- After the above work, we set the uptodate flag according to the result.

Btrfs: fix task hang under heavy compressed write

Btrfs: fix task hang under heavy compressed write

This has been reported and discussed for a long time, and this hang occurs in
both 3.15 and 3.16.

Btrfs now migrates to use kernel workqueue, but it introduces this hang problem.

Btrfs has a kind of work queued as an ordered way, which means that its
ordered_func() must be processed in the way of FIFO, so it usually looks like --

normal_work_helper(arg)
work = container_of(arg, struct btrfs_work, normal_work);

work->func() <---- (we name it work X)
for ordered_work in wq->ordered_list
ordered_work->ordered_func()
ordered_work->ordered_free()

The hang is a rare case, first when we find free space, we get an uncached block
group, then we go to read its free space cache inode for free space information,
so it will

file a readahead request
btrfs_readpages()
for page that is not in page cache
__do_readpage()
submit_extent_page()
btrfs_submit_bio_hook()
btrfs_bio_wq_end_io()
submit_bio()
end_workqueue_bio() <--(ret by the 1st endio)
queue a work(named work Y) for the 2nd
also the real endio()

So the hang occurs when work Y's work_struct and work X's work_struct happens
to share the same address.

A bit more explanation,

A,B,C -- struct btrfs_work
arg -- struct work_struct

kthread:
worker_thread()
pick up a work_struct from @worklist
process_one_work(arg)
worker->current_work = arg; <-- arg is A->normal_work
worker->current_func(arg)
normal_work_helper(arg)
A = container_of(arg, struct btrfs_work, normal_work);

A->func()
A->ordered_func()
A->ordered_free() <-- A gets freed

B->ordered_func()
submit_compressed_extents()
find_free_extent()
load_free_space_inode()
... <-- (the above readhead stack)
end_workqueue_bio()
btrfs_queue_work(work C)
B->ordered_free()

As if work A has a high priority in wq->ordered_list and there are more ordered
works queued after it, such as B->ordered_func(), its memory could have been
freed before normal_work_helper() returns, which means that kernel workqueue
code worker_thread() still has worker->current_work pointer to be work
A->normal_work's, ie. arg's address.

Meanwhile, work C is allocated after work A is freed, work C->normal_work
and work A->normal_work are likely to share the same address(I confirmed this
with ftrace output, so I'm not just guessing, it's rare though).

When another kthread picks up work C->normal_work to process, and finds our
kthread is processing it(see find_worker_executing_work()), it'll think
work C as a collision and skip then, which ends up nobody processing work C.

So the situation is that our kthread is waiting forever on work C.

Besides, there're other cases that can lead to deadlock, but the real problem
is that all btrfs workqueue shares one work->func, -- normal_work_helper,
so this makes each workqueue to have its own helper function, but only a
wraper pf normal_work_helper.

With this patch, I no long hit the above hang.

It's a call

with
fs_info->scrub_wr_completion_workers = NULL;

as scrub wqs get created only on user's demand.
