fs: fix lazytime expiration handling in __writeback_single_inode()
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.
