From 964d9ec041e2c860f696e7c87b77941bbfd90a13 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Biggers Date: Mon, 25 Jan 2021 12:37:44 -0800 Subject: fs: fix lazytime expiration handling in __writeback_single_inode() commit 1e249cb5b7fc09ff216aa5a12f6c302e434e88f9 upstream. When lazytime is enabled and an inode is being written due to its in-memory updated timestamps having expired, either due to a sync() or syncfs() system call or due to dirtytime_expire_interval having elapsed, the VFS needs to inform the filesystem so that the filesystem can copy the inode's timestamps out to the on-disk data structures. This is done by __writeback_single_inode() calling mark_inode_dirty_sync(), which then calls ->dirty_inode(I_DIRTY_SYNC). However, this occurs after __writeback_single_inode() has already cleared the dirty flags from ->i_state. This causes two bugs: - mark_inode_dirty_sync() redirties the inode, causing it to remain dirty. This wastefully causes the inode to be written twice. But more importantly, it breaks cases where sync_filesystem() is expected to clean dirty inodes. This includes the FS_IOC_REMOVE_ENCRYPTION_KEY ioctl (as reported at https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200306004555.GB225345@gmail.com), as well as possibly filesystem freezing (freeze_super()). - Since ->i_state doesn't contain I_DIRTY_TIME when ->dirty_inode() is called from __writeback_single_inode() for lazytime expiration, xfs_fs_dirty_inode() ignores the notification. (XFS only cares about lazytime expirations, and it assumes that i_state will contain I_DIRTY_TIME during those.) Therefore, lazy timestamps aren't persisted by sync(), syncfs(), or dirtytime_expire_interval on XFS. Fix this by moving the call to mark_inode_dirty_sync() to earlier in __writeback_single_inode(), before the dirty flags are cleared from i_state. This makes filesystems be properly notified of the timestamp expiration, and it avoids incorrectly redirtying the inode. This fixes xfstest generic/580 (which tests FS_IOC_REMOVE_ENCRYPTION_KEY) when run on ext4 or f2fs with lazytime enabled. It also fixes the new lazytime xfstest I've proposed, which reproduces the above-mentioned XFS bug (https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210105005818.92978-1-ebiggers@kernel.org). Alternatively, we could call ->dirty_inode(I_DIRTY_SYNC) directly. But due to the introduction of I_SYNC_QUEUED, mark_inode_dirty_sync() is the right thing to do because mark_inode_dirty_sync() now knows not to move the inode to a writeback list if it is currently queued for sync.
