When using cman-3.0.12.1 and gfs2-utils-3.0.12.1, mounting and
unmounting GFS2 file system would cause kernel to hang. The slab
allocator suggests that it is likely a double free memory corruption.
The issue is traced back to v3.9-rc6 where a patch is submitted to
use kzalloc() for storing a bitmap instead of using a local variable.
The intention is to allocate memory during mount and to free memory
during unmount. The original patch misses a code path which has
already freed the memory and caused memory corruption. This patch sets
the memory pointer to NULL after the memory is freed, so that double
free memory corruption will not happen.
gdlm_mount()
'-- set_recover_size() which use kzalloc()
'-- if dlm does not support ops callbacks then
'--- free_recover_size() which use kfree()
gldm_unmount()
'-- free_recover_size() which use kfree()
Previous patch which introduced the double free issue is

Add zstd compression and decompression support to BtrFS. zstd at its
fastest level compresses almost as well as zlib, while offering much
faster compression and decompression, approaching lzo speeds.
I benchmarked btrfs with zstd compression against no compression, lzo
compression, and zlib compression. I benchmarked two scenarios. Copying
a set of files to btrfs, and then reading the files. Copying a tarball
to btrfs, extracting it to btrfs, and then reading the extracted files.
After every operation, I call `sync` and include the sync time.
Between every pair of operations I unmount and remount the filesystem
to avoid caching. The benchmark files can be found in the upstream
zstd source repository under
`contrib/linux-kernel/{btrfs-benchmark.sh,btrfs-extract-benchmark.sh}`
[1] [2].
I ran the benchmarks on a Ubuntu 14.04 VM with 2 cores and 4 GiB of RAM.
The VM is running on a MacBook Pro with a 3.1 GHz Intel Core i7 processor,
16 GB of RAM, and a SSD.
The first compression benchmark is copying 10 copies of the unzipped
Silesia corpus [3] into a BtrFS filesystem mounted with
`-o compress-force=Method`. The decompression benchmark times how long
it takes to `tar` all 10 copies into `/dev/null`. The compression ratio is
measured by comparing the output of `df` and `du`. See the benchmark file
[1] for details. I benchmarked multiple zstd compression levels, although
the patch uses zstd level 1.
| Method | Ratio | Compression MB/s | Decompression speed |
|---------|-------|------------------|---------------------|
| None | 0.99 | 504 | 686 |
| lzo | 1.66 | 398 | 442 |
| zlib | 2.58 | 65 | 241 |
| zstd 1 | 2.57 | 260 | 383 |
| zstd 3 | 2.71 | 174 | 408 |
| zstd 6 | 2.87 | 70 | 398 |
| zstd 9 | 2.92 | 43 | 406 |
| zstd 12 | 2.93 | 21 | 408 |
| zstd 15 | 3.01 | 11 | 354 |
The next benchmark first copies `linux-4.11.6.tar` [4] to btrfs. Then it
measures the compression ratio, extracts the tar, and deletes the tar.
Then it measures the compression ratio again, and `tar`s the extracted
files into `/dev/null`. See the benchmark file [2] for details.
| Method | Tar Ratio | Extract Ratio | Copy (s) | Extract (s)| Read (s) |
|--------|-----------|---------------|----------|------------|----------|
| None | 0.97 | 0.78 | 0.981 | 5.501 | 8.807 |
| lzo | 2.06 | 1.38 | 1.631 | 8.458 | 8.585 |
| zlib | 3.40 | 1.86 | 7.750 | 21.544 | 11.744 |

Since nfs_page_group_destroy() does not take any locks on the requests
to be freed, we need to ensure that we don't inadvertently free the
request in nfs_destroy_unlinked_subrequests() while the last reference
is being released elsewhere.
Do this by:
1) Taking a reference to the request unless it is already being freed
2) Checking (under the page group lock) if PG_TEARDOWN is already set before
freeing an unreferenced request in nfs_destroy_unlinked_subrequests()

When locking the entire group in order to remove subrequests,
the locks are always taken in order, and with the page group
lock being taken after the page head is locked. The intention
is that:
1) The lock on the group head guarantees that requests may not
be removed from the group (although new entries could be appended
if we're not holding the group lock).
2) It is safe to drop and retake the page group lock while iterating
through the list, in particular when waiting for a subrequest lock.

We should no longer need the inode->i_lock, now that we've
straightened out the request locking. The locking schema is now:
1) Lock page head request
2) Lock the page group
3) Lock the subrequests one by one
Note that there is a subtle race with nfs_inode_remove_request() due
to the fact that the latter does not lock the page head, when removing
it from the struct page. Only the last subrequest is locked, hence
we need to re-check that the PagePrivate(page) is still set after
we've locked all the subrequests.

When we try to allocate a free inode by searching the inobt, we try to
find the inode nearest the parent inode by searching chunks both left
and right of the chunk containing the parent. As an optimization, we
cache the leftmost and rightmost records that we previously searched; if
we do another allocation with the same parent inode, we'll pick up the
search where it last left off.
There's a bug in the case where we found a free inode to the left of the
parent's chunk: we need to update the cached left and right records, but
because we already reassigned the right record to point to the left, we
end up assigning the left record to both the cached left and right
records.
This isn't a correctness problem strictly, but it can result in the next
allocation rechecking chunks unnecessarily or allocating inodes further
away from the parent than it needs to. Fix it by swapping the record
pointer after we update the cached left and right records.

Nadav reported KSM can corrupt the user data by the TLB batching
race[1]. That means data user written can be lost.
Quote from Nadav Amit:
"For this race we need 4 CPUs:
CPU0: Caches a writable and dirty PTE entry, and uses the stale value
for write later.
CPU1: Runs madvise_free on the range that includes the PTE. It would
clear the dirty-bit. It batches TLB flushes.
CPU2: Writes 4 to /proc/PID/clear_refs , clearing the PTEs soft-dirty.
We care about the fact that it clears the PTE write-bit, and of
course, batches TLB flushes.
CPU3: Runs KSM. Our purpose is to pass the following test in
write_protect_page():
if (pte_write(*pvmw.pte) || pte_dirty(*pvmw.pte) ||
(pte_protnone(*pvmw.pte) && pte_savedwrite(*pvmw.pte)))
Since it will avoid TLB flush. And we want to do it while the PTE is
stale. Later, and before replacing the page, we would be able to
change the page.
Note that all the operations the CPU1-3 perform canhappen in parallel
since they only acquire mmap_sem for read.
We start with two identical pages. Everything below regards the same
page/PTE.
CPU0 CPU1 CPU2 CPU3
---- ---- ---- ----
Write the same
value on page
[cache PTE as
dirty in TLB]
MADV_FREE
pte_mkclean()
4 > clear_refs
pte_wrprotect()
write_protect_page()
[ success, no flush ]
pages_indentical()
[ ok ]
Write to page
different value
[Ok, using stale
PTE]
replace_page()
Later, CPU1, CPU2 and CPU3 would flush the TLB, but that is too late.
CPU0 already wrote on the page, but KSM ignored this write, and it got
lost"
In above scenario, MADV_FREE is fixed by changing TLB batching API
including [set|clear]_tlb_flush_pending. Remained thing is soft-dirty
part.
This patch changes soft-dirty uses TLB batching API instead of
flush_tlb_mm and KSM checks pending TLB flush by using
mm_tlb_flush_pending so that it will flush TLB to avoid data lost if
there are other parallel threads pending TLB flush.

In addition to /proc/meminfo, this problem also affects the slab
counters OOM/allocation failure info dumps, can cause early -ENOMEM from
overcommit protection, and miscalculate image size requirements during
suspend-to-disk.
This is because the patch in question switched the slab counters from

On systems with low memory, it is possible for gfs2 to infinitely
loop in balance_dirty_pages() under heavy IO (creating sparse files).
balance_dirty_pages() attempts to write out the dirty pages via
gfs2_writepages() but none are found because these dirty pages are
being used by the journaling code in the ail. Normally, the journal
has an upper threshold which when hit triggers an automatic flush
of the ail. But this threshold can be higher than the number of
allowable dirty pages and result in the ail never being flushed.
This patch forces an ail flush when gfs2_writepages() fails to write
anything. This is a good indication that the ail might be holding
some dirty pages.
