Yes, this much I understand.

As I've been saying all along, there's something else wrong here,
because we should never encounter that new EFI in the recovery loop.
The recovery loop should see some other type of item and abort
before it sees that EFI.

So, on to the raw debug output.

lsn of this EFI is 1a000067b.

Ah, XFS_DEFER_OPS_TYPE_AGFL_FREE? where did that come from? That op
type only occurs from xfs_agfl_defer_free(), and the problem here is
that -EAGAIN comes from when we are doing allocation for the AGFL.
We are not going anywhere near the code that should set that xefi op
type.

Oh, you hard coded that in the trace_printk().

Hmmm, and none of the actual xfs trace points that tell us what is
actually going on.

Ok. trace-cmd is your friend - you can get rid of that "should
debug" stuff in the debug code...

First, create a tmpfs filesystem, cd into it so trace-cmd will dump
it's tracing data without creating xfs trace events.

then run:

# trace-cmd record -e xfs\* -e printk
....

and leave it running.

In another shell, run:

# mount test.img /mnt/test
<hang or oops>

Go back to your trace-cmd shell and ctrl-c it. Wait for it to dump
all the trace events to the trace.dat file. Then run:

# trace-cmd report > trace.txt

the trace.txt file should have the entire mount trace in it, all the
xfs events, the trace-printk output and the console output. now you
can filter everything with grep, sed, awk, python, perl, any way you
like.

Anyway, back to the printk trace. the extents in the EFI are:

1. (0x2543cc4, 0x30)
2. (0x25441ca, 0x30)
3. (0x25441b0, 0x1)

Extent #1 was freed.

Extent #2 was not freed, it got -EAGAIN. It was deferred.
Extent #3 was deferred.

The commit was done, we have a new EFI 000000002027a359 created with
extents #2 and #3.

And here we have what appears to be journal IO completion adding a
bunch of log items to the AIL. The last of those log items is
000000002027a359, which is the new EFI. Ok, so we should have at
least half a dozen items in the AIL before the new EFI. All good
here.

lsn is 1a0001810e, so this must be the last of the pending recovery
intents.  Now we've finished all the pending intents that needed
recovery and....

... we immediately find the EFI at the new head of the AIL @
lsn=1b0000515f.

So what happened to all the items added to the AIL before this item?
We clearly see them being processed in the trace above, why didn't
we trip over one of them here and abort the recovery loop?

Yeah, so that is the -third- attempt to free the extent, not the
second.

The trace makes it pretty obvious what is happening: there's an
ordering problem in bulk AIL insertion.

Can you test the patch below on top of the three in this patchset?

xfs: don't reverse order of items in bulk AIL insertion

From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@xxxxxxxxxx>

Log recovery depends on the items appearing in the AIL in the same
order that they are committed into the CIL. Unfortunately, the bulk
AIL insertion has been reversing the order of the items it pulls off
the CIL at checkpoint completion. This results in intents that are
created at the end of a commit being placed into the AIL before all
the other items that were modified in the commit are placed in the
AIL.

This can cause intent recovery from the log to fail to detect the
end of initial recovery correctly.

Lucky for us, all the items fed to bulk insertion have the same LSN,
otherwise this would have screwed up both the head and tail lsn
tracking in the log.

Make sure bulk AIL insertion does not reorder items.
