Return value in __load_free_space_cache is not properly set after

This is not a problem for the caller load_free_space_cache because only
value 1 is considered as 'cache loaded' but for clarity it's better
to set the errors accordingly.

When the filesystem transitions from space cache v1 to v2 or to
nospace_cache, it removes the old cached data, but does not remove
the FREE_SPACE items nor the free space inodes they point to. This
doesn't cause any issues besides being a bit inefficient, since these
items no longer do anything useful.
To fix it, when we are mounting, and plan to disable the space cache,
destroy each block group's free space item and free space inode.
The code to remove the items is lifted from the existing use case of
removing the block group, with a light adaptation to handle whether or
not we have already looked up the free space inode.

When mounting, btrfs uses the cache_generation in the super block to
determine if space cache v1 is in use. However, by mounting with
nospace_cache or space_cache=v2, it is possible to disable space cache
v1, which does not result in un-setting cache_generation back to 0.
In order to base some logic, like mount option printing in /proc/mounts,
on the current state of the space cache rather than just the values of
the mount option, keep the value of cache_generation consistent with the
status of space cache v1.
We ensure that cache_generation > 0 iff the file system is using
space_cache v1. This requires committing a transaction on any mount
which changes whether we are using v1. (v1->nospace_cache, v1->v2,
nospace_cache->v1, v2->v1).
Since the mechanism for writing out the cache generation is transaction
commit, but we want some finer grained control over when we un-set it,
we can't just rely on the SPACE_CACHE mount option, and introduce an
fs_info flag that mount can use when it wants to unset the generation.

The free space cache has been special in that we would load it right
away instead of farming the work off to a worker thread. This resulted
in some weirdness that had to be taken into account for this fact,
namely that if we every found a block group being cached the fast way we
had to wait for it to finish, because we could get the cache before it
had been validated and we may throw the cache away.
To handle this particular case instead create a temporary
btrfs_free_space_ctl to load the free space cache into. Then once we've
validated that it makes sense, copy it's contents into the actual
block_group->free_space_ctl. This allows us to avoid the problems of
needing to wait for the caching to complete, we can clean up the discard
extent handling stuff in __load_free_space_cache, and we no longer need
to do the merge_space_tree() because the space is added one by one into
the real free_space_ctl. This will allow further reworks of how we
handle loading the free space cache.

This passes in the block_group and the free_space_ctl, but we can get
this from the block group itself. Part of this is because we call it
from __load_free_space_cache, which can be called for the inode cache as
well.
Move that call into the block group specific load section, wrap it in
the right lock that we need for the assertion (but otherwise this is
safe without the lock because this happens in single-thread context).
Fix up the arguments to only take the block group. Add a lockdep_assert
as well for good measure to make sure we don't mess up the locking
again.

If a transaction aborts it can cause a memory leak of the pages array of
a block group's io_ctl structure. The following steps explain how that can
happen:
1) Transaction N is committing, currently in state TRANS_STATE_UNBLOCKED
and it's about to start writing out dirty extent buffers;
2) Transaction N + 1 already started and another task, task A, just called
btrfs_commit_transaction() on it;
3) Block group B was dirtied (extents allocated from it) by transaction
N + 1, so when task A calls btrfs_start_dirty_block_groups(), at the
very beginning of the transaction commit, it starts writeback for the
block group's space cache by calling btrfs_write_out_cache(), which
allocates the pages array for the block group's io_ctl with a call to
io_ctl_init(). Block group A is added to the io_list of transaction
N + 1 by btrfs_start_dirty_block_groups();
4) While transaction N's commit is writing out the extent buffers, it gets
an IO error and aborts transaction N, also setting the file system to
RO mode;
5) Task A has already returned from btrfs_start_dirty_block_groups(), is at
btrfs_commit_transaction() and has set transaction N + 1 state to
TRANS_STATE_COMMIT_START. Immediately after that it checks that the
filesystem was turned to RO mode, due to transaction N's abort, and
jumps to the "cleanup_transaction" label. After that we end up at
btrfs_cleanup_one_transaction() which calls btrfs_cleanup_dirty_bgs().
That helper finds block group B in the transaction's io_list but it
never releases the pages array of the block group's io_ctl, resulting in
a memory leak.
In fact at the point when we are at btrfs_cleanup_dirty_bgs(), the pages
array points to pages that were already released by us at
__btrfs_write_out_cache() through the call to io_ctl_drop_pages(). We end
up freeing the pages array only after waiting for the ordered extent to
complete through btrfs_wait_cache_io(), which calls io_ctl_free() to do
that. But in the transaction abort case we don't wait for the space cache's
ordered extent to complete through a call to btrfs_wait_cache_io(), so
that's why we end up with a memory leak - we wait for the ordered extent
to complete indirectly by shutting down the work queues and waiting for
any jobs in them to complete before returning from close_ctree().
We can solve the leak simply by freeing the pages array right after
releasing the pages (with the call to io_ctl_drop_pages()) at
__btrfs_write_out_cache(), since we will never use it anymore after that
and the pages array points to already released pages at that point, which
is currently not a problem since no one will use it after that, but not a
good practice anyway since it can easily lead to use-after-free issues.
So fix this by freeing the pages array right after releasing the pages at
__btrfs_write_out_cache().
This issue can often be reproduced with test case generic/475 from fstests
and kmemleak can detect it and reports it with the following trace:

In try_to_merge_free_space we attempt to find entries to the left and
right of the entry we are adding to see if they can be merged. We
search for an entry past our current info (saved into right_info), and
then if right_info exists and it has a rb_prev() we save the rb_prev()
into left_info.
However there's a slight problem in the case that we have a right_info,
but no entry previous to that entry. At that point we will search for
an entry just before the info we're attempting to insert. This will
simply find right_info again, and assign it to left_info, making them
both the same pointer.
Now if right_info _can_ be merged with the range we're inserting, we'll
add it to the info and free right_info. However further down we'll
access left_info, which was right_info, and thus get a use-after-free.
Fix this by only searching for the left entry if we don't find a right
entry at all.
The CVE referenced had a specially crafted file system that could
trigger this use-after-free. However with the tree checker improvements
we no longer trigger the conditions for the UAF. But the original
conditions still apply, hence this fix.

The space cache write failures happen due to ENOSPC when attempting to
update the free space cache items in the root tree. This happens because
when starting or joining a transaction we don't know how many block
groups we will end up changing (due to extent allocation or release) and
therefore never reserve space for updating free space cache items.
More often than not, the free space cache writeout succeeds since the
metadata space info is not yet full nor very close to being full, but
when it is, the space cache writeout fails with ENOSPC.
Occasional failures to write space caches are not considered critical
since they can be rebuilt when mounting the filesystem or the next
attempt to write a free space cache in the next transaction commit might
succeed, so we used to hide those error messages with a preprocessor
check for the existence of the DEBUG macro that was never enabled
anywhere.
A few other generic test cases also trigger the error messages due to
ENOSPC failure when writing free space caches as well, however they don't
fail since they don't grep dmesg/syslog for any btrfs specific error
messages.
So change the messages from 'error' level to 'debug' level, as it doesn't
make much sense to have error messages triggered only if the debug macro
is enabled plus, more importantly, the error is not serious nor highly
unexpected.

Back in 2014, commit 04216820fe ("Btrfs: fix race between fs trimming
and block group remove/allocation"), I added the 'trimming' member to the
block group structure. Its purpose was to prevent races between trimming
and block group deletion/allocation by pinning the block group in a way
that prevents its logical address and device extents from being reused
while trimming is in progress for a block group, so that if another task
deletes the block group and then another task allocates a new block group
that gets the same logical address and device extents while the trimming
task is still in progress.
After the previous fix for scrub (patch "btrfs: fix a race between scrub
and block group removal/allocation"), scrub now also has the same needs that
trimming has, so the member name 'trimming' no longer makes sense.
Since there is already a 'pinned' member in the block group that refers
to space reservations (pinned bytes), rename the member to 'frozen',
add a comment on top of it to describe its general purpose and rename
the helpers to increment and decrement the counter as well, to match
the new member name.
The next patch in the series will move the helpers into a more suitable
file (from free-space-cache.c to block-group.c).

force extents <= 32KB into the bitmaps save for the first handful.

Currently, there is no way for the free space cache to recover from
being serviced by purely bitmaps because the extent threshold is set to
0 in recalculate_thresholds() when we surpass the metadata allowance.
This adds a recovery mechanism by keeping large extents out of the
bitmaps and increases the metadata upper bound to 64KB. The recovery
mechanism bypasses this upper bound, thus making it a soft upper bound.
But, with the bypass being 1MB or greater, it shouldn't add unbounded
overhead.

with async discard. The discard_*_bytes values don't need any special

Non-block group destruction discarding currently only had a single list
with no minimum discard length. This can lead to caravaning more
meaningful discards behind a heavily fragmented block group.
This adds support for multiple lists with minimum discard lengths to
prevent the caravan effect. We promote block groups back up when we
exceed the BTRFS_ASYNC_DISCARD_MAX_FILTER size, currently we support
only 2 lists with filters of 1MB and 32KB respectively.

Throttle the maximum size of a discard so that we can provide an upper
bound for the rate of async discard. While the block layer is able to
split discards into the appropriate sized discards, we want to be able
to account more accurately the rate at which we are consuming NCQ slots
as well as limit the upper bound of work for a discard.

The number of discardable extents will serve as the rate limiting metric
for how often we should discard. This keeps track of discardable extents
in the free space caches by maintaining deltas and propagating them to
the global count.
The deltas are calculated from 2 values stored in PREV and CURR entries,
then propagated up to the global discard ctl. The current counter value
becomes the previous counter value after update.

The prior two patches added discarding via a background workqueue. This
just piggybacked off of the fstrim code to trim the whole block at once.
Well inevitably this is worse performance wise and will aggressively
overtrim. But it was nice to plumb the other infrastructure to keep the
patches easier to review.
This adds the real goal of this series which is discarding slowly (ie. a
slow long running fstrim). The discarding is split into two phases,
extents and then bitmaps. The reason for this is two fold. First, the
bitmap regions overlap the extent regions. Second, discarding the
extents first will let the newly trimmed bitmaps have the highest chance
of coalescing when being readded to the free space cache.

block_group removal is a little tricky. It can race with the extent
allocator, the cleaner thread, and balancing. The current path is for a
block_group to be added to the unused_bgs list. Then, when the cleaner
thread comes around, it starts a transaction and then proceeds with
removing the block_group. Extents that are pinned are subsequently
removed from the pinned trees and then eventually a discard is issued
for the entire block_group.
Async discard introduces another player into the game, the discard
workqueue. While it has none of the racing issues, the new problem is
ensuring we don't leave free space untrimmed prior to forgetting the
block_group. This is handled by placing fully free block_groups on a
separate discard queue. This is necessary to maintain discarding order
as in the future we will slowly trim even fully free block_groups. The
ordering helps us make progress on the same block_group rather than say
the last fully freed block_group or needing to search through the fully
freed block groups at the beginning of a list and insert after.
The new order of events is a fully freed block group gets placed on the
unused discard queue first. Once it's processed, it will be placed on
the unusued_bgs list and then the original sequence of events will
happen, just without the final whole block_group discard.
The mount flags can change when processing unused_bgs, so when flipping
from DISCARD to DISCARD_ASYNC, the unused_bgs must be punted to the
discard_list to be trimmed. If we flip off DISCARD_ASYNC, we punt
free block groups on the discard_list to the unused_bg queue which will
do the final discard for us.

When discard is enabled, everytime a pinned extent is released back to
the block_group's free space cache, a discard is issued for the extent.
This is an overeager approach when it comes to discarding and helping
the SSD maintain enough free space to prevent severe garbage collection
situations.
This adds the beginning of async discard. Instead of issuing a discard
prior to returning it to the free space, it is just marked as untrimmed.
The block_group is then added to a LRU which then feeds into a workqueue
to issue discards at a much slower rate. Full discarding of unused block
groups is still done and will be addressed in a future patch of the
series.
For now, we don't persist the discard state of extents and bitmaps.
Therefore, our failure recovery mode will be to consider extents
untrimmed. This lets us handle failure and unmounting as one in the
same.
On a number of Facebook webservers, I collected data every minute
accounting the time we spent in btrfs_finish_extent_commit() (col. 1)
and in btrfs_commit_transaction() (col. 2). btrfs_finish_extent_commit()
is where we discard extents synchronously before returning them to the
free space cache.
discard=sync:
p99 total per minute p99 total per minute
Drive | extent_commit() (ms) | commit_trans() (ms)
---------------------------------------------------------------
Drive A | 434 | 1170
Drive B | 880 | 2330
Drive C | 2943 | 3920
Drive D | 4763 | 5701
discard=async:
p99 total per minute p99 total per minute
Drive | extent_commit() (ms) | commit_trans() (ms)
--------------------------------------------------------------
Drive A | 134 | 956
Drive B | 64 | 1972
Drive C | 59 | 1032
Drive D | 62 | 1200
While it's not great that the stats are cumulative over 1m, all of these
servers are running the same workload and and the delta between the two
are substantial. We are spending significantly less time in
btrfs_finish_extent_commit() which is responsible for discarding.

There is a cap in btrfs in the amount of free extents that a block group
can have. When it surpasses that threshold, future extents are placed
into bitmaps. Instead of keeping track of if a certain bit is trimmed or
not in a second bitmap, keep track of the relative state of the bitmap.
With async discard, trimming bitmaps becomes a more frequent operation.
As a trade off with simplicity, we keep track of if discarding a bitmap
is in progress. If we fully scan a bitmap and trim as necessary, the
bitmap is marked clean. This has some caveats as the min block size may
skip over regions deemed too small. But this should be a reasonable
trade off rather than keeping a second bitmap and making allocation
paths more complex. The downside is we may overtrim, but ideally the min
block size should prevent us from doing that too often and getting stuck
trimming pathological cases.
BTRFS_TRIM_STATE_TRIMMING is added to indicate a bitmap is in the
process of being trimmed. If additional free space is added to that
bitmap, the bit is cleared. A bitmap will be marked
BTRFS_TRIM_STATE_TRIMMED if the trimming code was able to reach the end
of it and the former is still set.

Async discard will use the free space cache as backing knowledge for
which extents to discard. This patch plumbs knowledge about which
extents need to be discarded into the free space cache from
unpin_extent_range().
An untrimmed extent can merge with everything as this is a new region.
Absorbing trimmed extents is a tradeoff to for greater coalescing which
makes life better for find_free_extent(). Additionally, it seems the
size of a trim isn't as problematic as the trim io itself.
When reading in the free space cache from disk, if sync is set, mark all
extents as trimmed. The current code ensures at transaction commit that
all free space is trimmed when sync is set, so this reflects that.

The page we were trying to drop had a page->private, but had no
page->mapping and so called drop_buffers, assuming that we had a
buffer_head on the page, and then panic'ed trying to deref 1, which is
our page->private for data pages.
This is happening because we're truncating the free space cache while
we're trying to load the free space cache. This isn't supposed to
happen, and I'll fix that in a followup patch. However we still
shouldn't allow those sort of mistakes to result in messing with pages
that do not belong to us. So add the page->mapping check to verify that
we still own this page after dropping and re-acquiring the page lock.
