From: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@xxxxxxxxxx>
I found a race involving the larp control knob, aka the debugging knob
that lets developers enable logging of extended attribute updates:
Thread 1 Thread 2
echo 0 > /sys/fs/xfs/debug/larp
setxattr(REPLACE)
xfs_has_larp (returns false)
xfs_attr_set
echo 1 > /sys/fs/xfs/debug/larp
xfs_attr_defer_replace
xfs_attr_init_replace_state
xfs_has_larp (returns true)
xfs_attr_init_remove_state
<oops, wrong DAS state!>
This isn't a particularly severe problem right now because xattr logging
is only enabled when CONFIG_XFS_DEBUG=y, and developers *should* know
what they're doing.
However, the eventual intent is that callers should be able to ask for
the assistance of the log in persisting xattr updates. This capability
might not be required for /all/ callers, which means that dynamic
control must work correctly. Once an xattr update has decided whether
or not to use logged xattrs, it needs to stay in that mode until the end
of the operation regardless of what subsequent parallel operations might
do.
Therefore, it is an error to continue sampling xfs_globals.larp once
xfs_attr_change has made a decision about larp, and it was not correct
for me to have told Allison that ->create_intent functions can sample
the global log incompat feature bitfield to decide to elide a log item.
Instead, create a new op flag for the xfs_da_args structure, and convert
all other callers of xfs_has_larp and xfs_sb_version_haslogxattrs within
the attr update state machine to look for the operations flag.
