<id>urn:sha1:bdccbae23b21fd11226a657b605c5b1456b3117b</id>

commit 4275b59673eb60b02eec3997816c83f1f4b909c4 upstream.

Currently, the length of fallocate for pin file is section-aligned to
keep allocated sections from being selected as victims of GC. However,
for the case that the start offset of fallocate is not aligned in
section, the allocated sections can't be fully utilized. It's because a
new section is allocated by f2fs_allocate_pinning_section() after using
blks_per_sec blocks regardless of the start offset. As a result, several
unexpected dirty segments may be created, including blocks assigned to
the pinned file.

To address this issue, let's round down the start offset of fallocate
to the length of section.

The reproducing scenario is as below

chunk=$(((2&lt;&lt;20)+4096)) # 2MB + 4KB
touch test
f2fs_io pinfile set test
f2fs_io fallocate 0 0 $chunk test
f2fs_io fallocate 0 $chunk $chunk test
f2fs_io fallocate 0 $((chunk*2)) $chunk test
f2fs_io fiemap 0 $((chunk*3)) test

Fiemap: offset = 0 len = 12288
    logical addr.    physical addr.   length           flags
0   0000000000000000 000000068c600000 0000000000400000 00001088

The bug was triggered w/ below race condition:

  : inode is non-compressed

Let's change as below to fix this issue:
- introduce a new atomic type variable .writeback in structure f2fs_inode_info
to track the number of threads which calling f2fs_write_cache_pages().
- use .i_sem lock to protect .writeback update.
- check .writeback before update compression context in f2fs_setflags_common()
to avoid race w/ -&gt;writepages.

This patch introduces /sys/fs/f2fs/&lt;dev&gt;/reserved_pin_section for tuning
@needed parameter of has_not_enough_free_secs(), if we configure it w/
zero, it can avoid f2fs_gc() as much as possible while fallocating on
pinned file.

[ Upstream commit f7f8932ca6bb22494ef6db671633ad3b4d982271 ]

If checkpoint is disabled, GC can not reclaim any segments, we need
to detect such condition and bail out from fallocate() of a pinfile,
rather than letting allocator running out of free segment, which may
cause f2fs to be shutdown.

reproducer:
mkfs.f2fs -f /dev/vda 16777216
mount -o checkpoint=disable:10% /dev/vda /mnt/f2fs
for ((i=0;i&lt;4096;i++)) do { dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/f2fs/$i bs=1M count=1; } done
sync
for ((i=0;i&lt;4096;i+=2)) do { rm /mnt/f2fs/$i; } done
sync
touch /mnt/f2fs/pinfile
f2fs_io pinfile set /mnt/f2fs/pinfile
f2fs_io fallocate 0 0 4201644032 /mnt/f2fs/pinfile

Concurrent pinfile allocation may run out of free section, result in
panic in get_new_segment(), let's expand pin_sem lock coverage to
include f2fs_gc(), so that we can make sure to reclaim enough free
space for following allocation.

In addition, do below changes to enhance error path handling:
- call f2fs_bug_on() only in non-pinfile allocation path in
get_new_segment().
- call reset_curseg_fields() to reset all fields of curseg in
new_curseg()

During f2fs_evict_inode(), clear_inode() detects that we missed to truncate
all page cache before destorying inode, that is because in below path, we
will create page #0 in cache, but missed to drop it in error path, let's fix
it.

- evict
 - f2fs_evict_inode
  - f2fs_truncate
   - f2fs_convert_inline_inode
    - f2fs_grab_cache_folio
    : create page #0 in cache
    - f2fs_convert_inline_folio
    : sanity check failed, return -EFSCORRUPTED
  - clear_inode detects that inode-&gt;i_data.nrpages is not zero
