This series employs atomic extent swapping to enable safe reconstruction
of extended attribute data attached to a file. Because xattrs do not
have any redundant information to draw off of, we can at best salvage
as much data as we can and build a new structure.
Rebuilding an extended attribute structure consists of these three
steps:
First, we walk the existing attributes to salvage as many of them as we
can, by adding them as new attributes attached to the repair tempfile.
We need to add a new xfile-based data structure to hold blobs of
arbitrary length to stage the xattr names and values.
Second, we write the salvaged attributes to a temporary file, and use
atomic extent swaps to exchange the entire attribute fork between the
two files.
Finally, we reap the old xattr blocks (which are now in the temporary
file) as carefully as we can.
This has been running on the djcloud for months with no problems. Enjoy!

We now have all the infrastructure we need to repair file metadata.
We'll begin with the realtime summary file, because it is the least
complex data structure. To support this we need to add three more
pieces to the temporary file code from the previous patchset --
preallocating space in the temp file, formatting metadata into that
space and writing the blocks to disk, and swapping the fork mappings
atomically.
After that, the actual reconstruction of the realtime summary
information is pretty simple, since we can simply write the incore
copy computed by the rtsummary scrubber to the temporary file, swap the
contents, and reap the old blocks.

This series creates a new XFS_IOC_EXCHANGE_RANGE ioctl to exchange
ranges of bytes between two files atomically.
This new functionality enables data storage programs to stage and commit
file updates such that reader programs will see either the old contents
or the new contents in their entirety, with no chance of torn writes. A
successful call completion guarantees that the new contents will be seen
even if the system fails.
The ability to exchange file fork mappings between files in this manner
is critical to supporting online filesystem repair, which is built upon
the strategy of constructing a clean copy of a damaged structure and
committing the new structure into the metadata file atomically. The
ioctls exist to facilitate testing of the new functionality and to
enable future application program designs.
User programs will be able to update files atomically by opening an
O_TMPFILE, reflinking the source file to it, making whatever updates
they want to make, and exchange the relevant ranges of the temp file
with the original file. If the updates are aligned with the file block
size, a new (since v2) flag provides for exchanging only the written
areas. Note that application software must quiesce writes to the file
while it stages an atomic update. This will be addressed by a
subsequent series.
This mechanism solves the clunkiness of two existing atomic file update
mechanisms: for O_TRUNC + rewrite, this eliminates the brief period
where other programs can see an empty file. For create tempfile +
rename, the need to copy file attributes and extended attributes for
each file update is eliminated.
However, this method introduces its own awkwardness -- any program
initiating an exchange now needs to have a way to signal to other
programs that the file contents have changed. For file access mediated
via read and write, fanotify or inotify are probably sufficient. For
mmaped files, that may not be fast enough.
Here is the proposed manual page:
IOCTL-XFS-EXCHANGE-RANGE(2System Calls ManuIOCTL-XFS-EXCHANGE-RANGE(2)
NAME
ioctl_xfs_exchange_range - exchange the contents of parts of
two files
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <xfs/xfs_fs.h>
int ioctl(int file2_fd, XFS_IOC_EXCHANGE_RANGE, struct xfs_ex‐
change_range *arg);
DESCRIPTION
Given a range of bytes in a first file file1_fd and a second
range of bytes in a second file file2_fd, this ioctl(2) ex‐
changes the contents of the two ranges.
Exchanges are atomic with regards to concurrent file opera‐
tions. Implementations must guarantee that readers see either
the old contents or the new contents in their entirety, even if
the system fails.
The system call parameters are conveyed in structures of the
following form:
struct xfs_exchange_range {
__s32 file1_fd;
__u32 pad;
__u64 file1_offset;
__u64 file2_offset;
__u64 length;
__u64 flags;
};
The field pad must be zero.
The fields file1_fd, file1_offset, and length define the first
range of bytes to be exchanged.
The fields file2_fd, file2_offset, and length define the second
range of bytes to be exchanged.
Both files must be from the same filesystem mount. If the two
file descriptors represent the same file, the byte ranges must
not overlap. Most disk-based filesystems require that the
starts of both ranges must be aligned to the file block size.
If this is the case, the ends of the ranges must also be so
aligned unless the XFS_EXCHANGE_RANGE_TO_EOF flag is set.
The field flags control the behavior of the exchange operation.
XFS_EXCHANGE_RANGE_TO_EOF
Ignore the length parameter. All bytes in file1_fd
from file1_offset to EOF are moved to file2_fd, and
file2's size is set to (file2_offset+(file1_length-
file1_offset)). Meanwhile, all bytes in file2 from
file2_offset to EOF are moved to file1 and file1's
size is set to (file1_offset+(file2_length-
file2_offset)).
XFS_EXCHANGE_RANGE_DSYNC
Ensure that all modified in-core data in both file
ranges and all metadata updates pertaining to the
exchange operation are flushed to persistent storage
before the call returns. Opening either file de‐
scriptor with O_SYNC or O_DSYNC will have the same
effect.
XFS_EXCHANGE_RANGE_FILE1_WRITTEN
Only exchange sub-ranges of file1_fd that are known
to contain data written by application software.
Each sub-range may be expanded (both upwards and
downwards) to align with the file allocation unit.
For files on the data device, this is one filesystem
block. For files on the realtime device, this is
the realtime extent size. This facility can be used
to implement fast atomic scatter-gather writes of
any complexity for software-defined storage targets
if all writes are aligned to the file allocation
unit.
XFS_EXCHANGE_RANGE_DRY_RUN
Check the parameters and the feasibility of the op‐
eration, but do not change anything.
RETURN VALUE
On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set to indicate the er‐
ror.
ERRORS
Error codes can be one of, but are not limited to, the follow‐
ing:
EBADF file1_fd is not open for reading and writing or is open
for append-only writes; or file2_fd is not open for
reading and writing or is open for append-only writes.
EINVAL The parameters are not correct for these files. This
error can also appear if either file descriptor repre‐
sents a device, FIFO, or socket. Disk filesystems gen‐
erally require the offset and length arguments to be
aligned to the fundamental block sizes of both files.
EIO An I/O error occurred.
EISDIR One of the files is a directory.
ENOMEM The kernel was unable to allocate sufficient memory to
perform the operation.
ENOSPC There is not enough free space in the filesystem ex‐
change the contents safely.
EOPNOTSUPP
The filesystem does not support exchanging bytes between
the two files.
EPERM file1_fd or file2_fd are immutable.
ETXTBSY
One of the files is a swap file.
EUCLEAN
The filesystem is corrupt.
EXDEV file1_fd and file2_fd are not on the same mounted
filesystem.
CONFORMING TO
This API is XFS-specific.
USE CASES
Several use cases are imagined for this system call. In all
cases, application software must coordinate updates to the file
because the exchange is performed unconditionally.
The first is a data storage program that wants to commit non-
contiguous updates to a file atomically and coordinates write
access to that file. This can be done by creating a temporary
file, calling FICLONE(2) to share the contents, and staging the
updates into the temporary file. The FULL_FILES flag is recom‐
mended for this purpose. The temporary file can be deleted or
punched out afterwards.
An example program might look like this:
int fd = open("/some/file", O_RDWR);
int temp_fd = open("/some", O_TMPFILE | O_RDWR);
ioctl(temp_fd, FICLONE, fd);
/* append 1MB of records */
lseek(temp_fd, 0, SEEK_END);
write(temp_fd, data1, 1000000);
/* update record index */
pwrite(temp_fd, data1, 600, 98765);
pwrite(temp_fd, data2, 320, 54321);
pwrite(temp_fd, data2, 15, 0);
/* commit the entire update */
struct xfs_exchange_range args = {
.file1_fd = temp_fd,
.flags = XFS_EXCHANGE_RANGE_TO_EOF,
};
ioctl(fd, XFS_IOC_EXCHANGE_RANGE, &args);
The second is a software-defined storage host (e.g. a disk
jukebox) which implements an atomic scatter-gather write com‐
mand. Provided the exported disk's logical block size matches
the file's allocation unit size, this can be done by creating a
temporary file and writing the data at the appropriate offsets.
It is recommended that the temporary file be truncated to the
size of the regular file before any writes are staged to the
temporary file to avoid issues with zeroing during EOF exten‐
sion. Use this call with the FILE1_WRITTEN flag to exchange
only the file allocation units involved in the emulated de‐
vice's write command. The temporary file should be truncated
or punched out completely before being reused to stage another
write.
An example program might look like this:
int fd = open("/some/file", O_RDWR);
int temp_fd = open("/some", O_TMPFILE | O_RDWR);
struct stat sb;
int blksz;
fstat(fd, &sb);
blksz = sb.st_blksize;
/* land scatter gather writes between 100fsb and 500fsb */
pwrite(temp_fd, data1, blksz * 2, blksz * 100);
pwrite(temp_fd, data2, blksz * 20, blksz * 480);
pwrite(temp_fd, data3, blksz * 7, blksz * 257);
/* commit the entire update */
struct xfs_exchange_range args = {
.file1_fd = temp_fd,
.file1_offset = blksz * 100,
.file2_offset = blksz * 100,
.length = blksz * 400,
.flags = XFS_EXCHANGE_RANGE_FILE1_WRITTEN |
XFS_EXCHANGE_RANGE_FILE1_DSYNC,
};
ioctl(fd, XFS_IOC_EXCHANGE_RANGE, &args);
NOTES
Some filesystems may limit the amount of data or the number of
extents that can be exchanged in a single call.
SEE ALSO
ioctl(2)
XFS 2024-02-10 IOCTL-XFS-EXCHANGE-RANGE(2)
The reference implementation in XFS creates a new log incompat feature
and log intent items to track high level progress of swapping ranges of
two files and finish interrupted work if the system goes down. Sample
code can be found in the corresponding changes to xfs_io to exercise the
use case mentioned above.
Note that this function is /not/ the O_DIRECT atomic untorn file writes
concept that has also been floating around for years. It is also not
the RWF_ATOMIC patchset that has been shared. This RFC is constructed
entirely in software, which means that there are no limitations other
than the general filesystem limits.
As a side note, the original motivation behind the kernel functionality
is online repair of file-based metadata. The atomic file content
exchange is implemented as an atomic exchange of file fork mappings,
which means that we can implement online reconstruction of extended
attributes and directories by building a new one in another inode and
exchanging the contents.
Subsequent patchsets adapt the online filesystem repair code to use
atomic file exchanges. This enables repair functions to construct a
clean copy of a directory, xattr information, symbolic links, realtime
bitmaps, and realtime summary information in a temporary inode. If this
completes successfully, the new contents can be committed atomically
into the inode being repaired. This is essential to avoid making
corruption problems worse if the system goes down in the middle of
running repair.
For userspace, this series also includes the userspace pieces needed to
test the new functionality, and a sample implementation of atomic file
updates.
This has been running on the djcloud for months with no problems. Enjoy!

The second is a software-defined storage host (e.g. a disk
jukebox) which implements an atomic scatter-gather write com‐
mand. Provided the exported disk's logical block size matches
the file's allocation unit size, this can be done by creating a
temporary file and writing the data at the appropriate offsets.
It is recommended that the temporary file be truncated to the
size of the regular file before any writes are staged to the
temporary file to avoid issues with zeroing during EOF exten‐
sion. Use this call with the FILE1_WRITTEN flag to exchange
only the file allocation units involved in the emulated de‐
vice's write command. The temporary file should be truncated
or punched out completely before being reused to stage another
write.
An example program might look like this:
int fd = open("/some/file", O_RDWR);
int temp_fd = open("/some", O_TMPFILE | O_RDWR);
struct stat sb;
int blksz;
fstat(fd, &sb);
blksz = sb.st_blksize;
/* land scatter gather writes between 100fsb and 500fsb */
pwrite(temp_fd, data1, blksz * 2, blksz * 100);
pwrite(temp_fd, data2, blksz * 20, blksz * 480);
pwrite(temp_fd, data3, blksz * 7, blksz * 257);
/* commit the entire update */
struct xfs_exchange_range args = {
.file1_fd = temp_fd,
.file1_offset = blksz * 100,

.flags = XFS_EXCHANGE_RANGE_FILE1_WRITTEN |
XFS_EXCHANGE_RANGE_FILE1_DSYNC,
};
ioctl(fd, XFS_IOC_EXCHANGE_RANGE, &args);
NOTES
Some filesystems may limit the amount of data or the number of
extents that can be exchanged in a single call.

The reference implementation in XFS creates a new log incompat feature
and log intent items to track high level progress of swapping ranges of
two files and finish interrupted work if the system goes down. Sample
code can be found in the corresponding changes to xfs_io to exercise the
use case mentioned above.
Note that this function is /not/ the O_DIRECT atomic untorn file writes
concept that has also been floating around for years. It is also not
the RWF_ATOMIC patchset that has been shared. This RFC is constructed
entirely in software, which means that there are no limitations other
than the general filesystem limits.
As a side note, the original motivation behind the kernel functionality
is online repair of file-based metadata. The atomic file content
exchange is implemented as an atomic exchange of file fork mappings,
which means that we can implement online reconstruction of extended
attributes and directories by building a new one in another inode and
exchanging the contents.
Subsequent patchsets adapt the online filesystem repair code to use
atomic file exchanges. This enables repair functions to construct a
clean copy of a directory, xattr information, symbolic links, realtime
bitmaps, and realtime summary information in a temporary inode. If this
completes successfully, the new contents can be committed atomically
into the inode being repaired. This is essential to avoid making
corruption problems worse if the system goes down in the middle of
running repair.
For userspace, this series also includes the userspace pieces needed to
test the new functionality, and a sample implementation of atomic file
updates.

This patchset improves the performance of log incompat feature bit
handling by making a few changes to how the filesystem handles them.
First, we now only clear the bits during a clean unmount to reduce calls
to the (expensive) upgrade function to once per bit per mount. Second,
we now only allow incompat feature upgrades for sysadmins or if the
sysadmin explicitly allows it via mount option. Currently the only log
incompat user is logged xattrs, which requires CONFIG_XFS_DEBUG=y, so
there should be no user visible impact to this change.

Build on the code that was recently added to the temporary repair file
code so that we can atomically switch the contents of any file fork,
even if the fork is in local format. The upcoming functions to repair
xattrs, directories, and symlinks will need that capability.
Repair can lock out access to these user files by holding IOLOCK_EXCL on
these user files. Therefore, it is safe to drop the ILOCK of both the
file being repaired and the tempfile being used for staging, and cancel
the scrub transaction. We do this so that we can reuse the resource

Create some new routines to exchange the contents of a temporary file
created to stage a repair with another ondisk file. This will be used
by the realtime summary repair function to commit atomically the new
rtsummary data, which will be staged in the tempfile.
The rest of XFS coordinates access to the realtime metadata inodes
solely through the ILOCK. For repair to hold its exclusive access to
the realtime summary file, it has to allocate a single large transaction
and roll it repeatedly throughout the repair while holding the ILOCK.
In turn, this means that for now there's only a partial file mapping
exchange implementation for the temporary file because we can only work
within an existing transaction.
For now, the only tempswap functions needed here are to estimate the
resource requirements of the exchange, reserve more space/quota to an
existing transaction, and kick off the actual exchange. The rest will
be added in a later patch in preparation for repairing xattrs and
