--------------------------------
Brian reported a null pointer dereference failure during unmount in xfs/006. He tracked the problem down to the AIL being torn down before a log shutdown had completed and removed all the items from the AIL. The failure occurred in this path while unmount was proceeding in another task:
xfs_trans_ail_delete+0x102/0x130 [xfs] xfs_buf_item_done+0x22/0x30 [xfs] xfs_buf_ioend+0x73/0x4d0 [xfs] xfs_trans_committed_bulk+0x17e/0x2f0 [xfs] xlog_cil_committed+0x2a9/0x300 [xfs] xlog_cil_process_committed+0x69/0x80 [xfs] xlog_state_shutdown_callbacks+0xce/0xf0 [xfs] xlog_force_shutdown+0xdf/0x150 [xfs] xfs_do_force_shutdown+0x5f/0x150 [xfs] xlog_ioend_work+0x71/0x80 [xfs] process_one_work+0x1c5/0x390 worker_thread+0x30/0x350 kthread+0xd7/0x100 ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x30
This is processing an EIO error to a log write, and it's triggering a force shutdown. This causes the log to be shut down, and then it is running attached iclog callbacks from the shutdown context. That means the fs and log has already been marked as xfs_is_shutdown/xlog_is_shutdown and so high level code will abort (e.g. xfs_trans_commit(), xfs_log_force(), etc) with an error because of shutdown.
The umount would have been blocked waiting for a log force completion inside xfs_log_cover() -> xfs_sync_sb(). The first thing for this situation to occur is for xfs_sync_sb() to exit without waiting for the iclog buffer to be comitted to disk. The above trace is the completion routine for the iclog buffer, and it is shutting down the filesystem.
xlog_state_shutdown_callbacks() does this:
{ struct xlog_in_core *iclog; LIST_HEAD(cb_list);
spin_lock(&log->l_icloglock); iclog = log->l_iclog; do { if (atomic_read(&iclog->ic_refcnt)) { /* Reference holder will re-run iclog callbacks. */ continue; } list_splice_init(&iclog->ic_callbacks, &cb_list);
wake_up_all(&iclog->ic_write_wait); wake_up_all(&iclog->ic_force_wait);
} while ((iclog = iclog->ic_next) != log->l_iclog);
wake_up_all(&log->l_flush_wait); spin_unlock(&log->l_icloglock);
xlog_cil_process_committed(&cb_list);
}
This wakes any thread waiting on IO completion of the iclog (in this case the umount log force) before shutdown processes all the pending callbacks. That means the xfs_sync_sb() waiting on a sync transaction in xfs_log_force() on iclog->ic_force_wait will get woken before the callbacks attached to that iclog are run. This results in xfs_sync_sb() returning an error, and so unmount unblocks and continues to run whilst the log shutdown is still in progress.
Normally this is just fine because the force waiter has nothing to do with AIL operations. But in the case of this unmount path, the log force waiter goes on to tear down the AIL because the log is now shut down and so nothing ever blocks it again from the wait point in xfs_log_cover().
Hence it's a race to see who gets to the AIL first - the unmount code or xlog_cil_process_committed() killing the superblock buffer.
To fix this, we just have to change the order of processing in xlog_state_shutdown_callbacks() to run the callbacks before it wakes any task waiting on completion of the iclog.
