v8 cover file system-wide error monitoring

Hi,

This is the 8th version of this patch series. We are getting close! Thank you Amir and Jan for your repeated assistance in getting this in shape. This version applies all your feedback from previous version, in particular, it has a resizeable mempool, such that we don't waste to much space if not needed.

This was tested with LTP for regressions and also using the sample code on the last patch, with a corrupted image. I wrote a new ltp test for this feature which is being reviewed and is available at:

https://gitlab.collabora.com/krisman/ltp -b fan-fs-error

In addition, I wrote a man-page that can be pulled from:

https://gitlab.collabora.com/krisman/man-pages.git -b fan-fs-error

And is being reviewed at the list.

I also pushed this full series to:

https://gitlab.collabora.com/krisman/linux -b fanotify-notifications-v8

Thank you

PATCH v8 2/32 fsnotify: pass dentry instead of inode data

In reply to Gabriel Krisman Bertazi

From: Amir Goldstein <[email protected]>

Define a new data type to pass for event - FSNOTIFY_EVENT_DENTRY. Use it to pass the dentry instead of it's ->d_inode where available.

This is needed in preparation to the refactor to retrieve the super block from the data field. In some cases (i.e. mkdir in kernfs), the data inode comes from a negative dentry, such that no super block information would be available. By receiving the dentry itself, instead of the inode, fsnotify can derive the super block even on these cases.

[Expand explanation in commit message]

PATCH v8 3/32 fsnotify: clarify contract for create event hooks

In reply to Gabriel Krisman Bertazi

From: Amir Goldstein <[email protected]>

Clarify argument names and contract for fsnotify_create() and fsnotify_mkdir() to reflect the anomaly of kernfs, which leaves dentries negavite after mkdir/create.

Remove the WARN_ON(!inode) in audit code that were added by the Fixes commit under the wrong assumption that dentries cannot be negative after mkdir/create.

PATCH v8 4/32 fsnotify: Don't insert unmergeable events in hashtable

In reply to Gabriel Krisman Bertazi

Some events, like the overflow event, are not mergeable, so they are not hashed. But, when failing inside fsnotify_add_event for lack of space, fsnotify_add_event() still calls the insert hook, which adds the overflow event to the merge list. Add a check to prevent any kind of unmergeable event to be inserted in the hashtable.

Fixes 94e00d28a680 ("fsnotify: use hash table for faster events merge")

- Do check for hashed events inside the insert hook (Amir)

PATCH v8 5/32 fanotify: Fold event size calculation to its own function

In reply to Gabriel Krisman Bertazi

Every time this function is invoked, it is immediately added to FAN_EVENT_METADATA_LEN, since there is no need to just calculate the length of info records. This minor clean up folds the rest of the calculation into the function, which now operates in terms of events, returning the size of the entire event, including metadata.

PATCH v8 6/32 fanotify: Split fsid check from other fid mode checks

In reply to Gabriel Krisman Bertazi

FAN_FS_ERROR will require fsid, but not necessarily require the filesystem to expose a file handle. Split those checks into different functions, so they can be used separately when setting up an event.

While there, update a comment about tmpfs having 0 fsid, which is no longer true.

---
Changes since v2:
- FAN_ERROR -> FAN_FS_ERROR (Amir)
- Update comment (Amir)

Changes since v1:
(Amir)
- Sort hunks to simplify diff.
Changes since RFC:
(Amir)
- Rename fanotify_check_path_fsid -> fanotify_test_fsid.
- Use dentry directly instead of path.

PATCH v8 7/32 inotify: Don't force FS_IN_IGNORED

In reply to Gabriel Krisman Bertazi

According to Amir:

"FS_IN_IGNORED is completely internal to inotify and there is no need to set it in i_fsnotify_mask at all, so if we remove the bit from the output of inotify_arg_to_mask() no functionality will change and we will be able to overload the event bit for FS_ERROR."

This is done in preparation to overload FS_ERROR with the notification mechanism in fanotify.

fsnotify_add_event is growing in number of parameters, which in most case are just passed a NULL pointer. So, split out a new fsnotify_insert_event function to clean things up for users who don't need an insert hook.

PATCH v8 10/32 fsnotify: Retrieve super block from the data field

In reply to Gabriel Krisman Bertazi

Some file system events (i.e. FS_ERROR) might not be associated with an inode or directory. For these, we can retrieve the super block from the data field. But, since the super_block is available in the data field on every event type, simplify the code to always retrieve it from there, through a new helper.

--
Changes since v6:
- Always use data field for superblock retrieval
Changes since v5:
- add fsnotify_data_sb handle to retrieve sb from the data field. (jan)

Sigh.. the plot thickens.
There are three in-tree backends that implement the ->handle_inode_event() interface.

inotify and dnotify can take NULL inode and the above will make the CREATE events on kernfs vanish, so we cannot do that.
Sorry for not noticing this earlier when I asked for this change.

nfsd_file_fsnotify_handle_event() can most certainly not take NULL inode, but nfsd does not watch for CREATE events.

I think what we need to do is (Jan please correct me if you think otherwise):
1. Document the handle_inode_event() interface that either inode or dir must be non-NULL
2. WARN_ON_ONCE(!inode && !dir) instead of just (!inode) above
3. Add WARN_ON_ONCE(!inode) before trace_nfsd_file_fsnotify_handle_event() in nfsd_file_fsnotify_handle_event()

Apologies, Gabriel, for having to cleanup our mess ;-)

Thanks,
Amir.

PATCH v8 17/32 fsnotify: Support FS_ERROR event type

In reply to Gabriel Krisman Bertazi

Expose a new type of fsnotify event for filesystems to report errors for userspace monitoring tools. fanotify will send this type of notification for FAN_FS_ERROR events. This also introduce a helper for generating the new event.

---
Changes since v6:
- Add fsnotify_data_error_report

Changes since v5:
- pass sb inside data field (jan)
Changes since v3:
- Squash patch ("fsnotify: Introduce helpers to send error_events")
- Drop reviewed-bys!

Changes since v2:
- FAN_ERROR->FAN_FS_ERROR (Amir)

Changes since v1:
- Overload FS_ERROR with FS_IN_IGNORED
- Implement support for this type on fsnotify_data_inode (Amir)

PATCH v8 18/32 fanotify: Reserve UAPI bits for FAN_FS_ERROR

In reply to Gabriel Krisman Bertazi

FAN_FS_ERROR allows reporting of event type FS_ERROR to userspace, which is a mechanism to report file system wide problems via fanotify. This commit preallocate userspace visible bits to match the FS_ERROR event.

PATCH v8 19/32 fanotify: Pre-allocate pool of error events

In reply to Gabriel Krisman Bertazi

Pre-allocate slots for file system errors to have greater chances of succeeding, since error events can happen in GFP_NOFS context. This patch introduces a group-wide mempool of error events, shared by all FAN_FS_ERROR marks in this group.

For now, just allocate 128 positions. A future patch allows this array to be dynamically resized when a new mark is added.

I don't really care. I don't see a strong reason to go above original 32 (so I'd slightly prefer that) but OTOH I also don't think those few KB per notification group using FS_ERROR matter since I don't expect such groups to be that common.

PATCH v8 20/32 fanotify: Dynamically resize the FAN_FS_ERROR pool

In reply to Gabriel Krisman Bertazi

Allow the FAN_FS_ERROR group mempool to grow up to an upper limit dynamically, instead of starting already at the limit. This doesn't bother resizing on mark removal, but next time a mark is added, the slot will be either reused or resized. Also, if several marks are being removed at once, most likely the group is going away anyway.

Re: [PATCH v8 20/32] fanotify: Dynamically resize the FAN_FS_ERROR pool

Quoted 46 lines · Gabriel Krisman Bertazi

Allow the FAN_FS_ERROR group mempool to grow up to an upper limit dynamically, instead of starting already at the limit. This doesn't bother resizing on mark removal, but next time a mark is added, the slot will be either reused or resized. Also, if several marks are being removed at once, most likely the group is going away anyway.

Do you mean when number of FS_ERROR marks reaches the number of preallocated events? We could do that but note that due to mempool implementation limits there cannot be more than 255 preallocated events, also mempool_resize() will only update number of slots for preallocated events but these slots will be empty. You have to manually allocate and free events to fill these slots with preallocated events.

Quoted 1 line

And also, this code grows the pool to infinity with add/remove mark loop.

I see a cap at FANOTIFY_DEFAULT_MAX_FEE_POOL in the code there. But I don't think there's a good enough reason to hard-limit number of FS_ERROR marks at 128. As I explained in the previous version of the series, in vast majority of cases we will not use even a single preallocated event...

Quoted 3 lines

Anyway, since I clearly did not understand how mempool works and Jan had some different ideas I would leave it to Jan to explain how he wants the mempool init limit and resize to be implemented.

Honestly, I'm for keeping it simple for now. Just 32 preallocated events and try to come up with something more clever only if someone actually complains.

Yes to 32 preallocated events, no to FAN_FS_ERROR mark limit - just keep number of marks unlimited. IMO it would be a hard to understand limit for userspace.

Yes, mempool resize is simple, except that you have to care not to resize to more than 255 and also for mempool_resize() to guarantee anything you have to allocate and free events to fill slots at which point things become a bit ugly.

PATCH v8 21/32 fanotify: Support enqueueing of error events

In reply to Gabriel Krisman Bertazi

Once an error event is triggered, enqueue it in the notification group, similarly to what is done for other events. FAN_FS_ERROR is not handled specially, since the memory is now handled by a preallocated mempool.

For now, make the event unhashed. A future patch implements merging of this kind of event.

Re: [PATCH v8 21/32] fanotify: Support enqueueing of error events

Quoted 6 lines · Gabriel Krisman Bertazi

Once an error event is triggered, enqueue it in the notification group, similarly to what is done for other events. FAN_FS_ERROR is not handled specially, since the memory is now handled by a preallocated mempool.

Quoted 6 lines

For now, make the event unhashed. A future patch implements merging of this kind of event.

PATCH v8 22/32 fanotify: Support merging of error events

In reply to Gabriel Krisman Bertazi

Error events (FAN_FS_ERROR) against the same file system can be merged by simply iterating the error count. The hash is taken from the fsid, without considering the FH. This means that only the first error object is reported.

---
Changes since v7:
- Move fee->fsid assignment here (Amir)
- Open code error event merge logic in fanotify_merge (Jan)

PATCH v8 23/32 fanotify: Wrap object_fh inline space in a creator macro

In reply to Gabriel Krisman Bertazi

fanotify_error_event would duplicate this sequence of declarations that already exist elsewhere with a slight different size. Create a helper macro to avoid code duplication.

---
Among the suggestions, I think this is simpler because it avoids deep nesting the variable-sized attribute, which would have been hidden inside fee->ffe->object_fh.buf.

It also avoids touching the allocators, which are nicely hidden inside helper KMEM_CACHE() macros that hides several parameters.

It's not true that is must be the last element.
this is only true for struct fanotify_fh with zero size buf[].

One nit from me as well :)

Can the macro perhaps take the name of the fanotify_fh member it creates? Like:

#define FANOTIFY_INLINE_FH(name, size)

Harcoding _inline_fh_buf is fine since it isn't ever used directly but hardcoding object_fh looks ugly to me. With that improved feel free to add:

PATCH v8 24/32 fanotify: Add helpers to decide whether to report FID/DFID

In reply to Gabriel Krisman Bertazi

Now that there is an event that reports FID records even for a zeroed file handle, wrap the logic that deides whether to issue the records into helper functions. This shouldn't have any impact on the code, but simplifies further patches.

PATCH v8 25/32 fanotify: Report fid entry even for zero-length file_handle

In reply to Gabriel Krisman Bertazi

Non-inode errors will reported with an empty file_handle. In preparation for that, allow some events to print the FID record even if there isn't any file_handle encoded

Even though FILEID_ROOT is used internally, make zero-length file handles be reported as FILEID_INVALID.

PATCH v8 27/32 fanotify: Report fid info for file related file system errors

In reply to Gabriel Krisman Bertazi

Plumb the pieces to add a FID report to error records. Since all error event memory must be pre-allocated, we pre-allocate the maximum file handle size possible, such that it should always fit.

For errors that don't expose a file handle report it with an invalid FID.

---
Changes since v7:
- Move WARN_ON to separate patch (Amir)
- Avoid duplication in the structure definition (Amir)
Changes since v6:
- pass fsid from handle_events
Changes since v5:
- Use preallocated MAX_HANDLE_SZ FH buffer
- Report superblock errors with a zerolength INVALID FID (jan, amir)

PATCH v8 28/32 fanotify: Emit generic error info for error event

In reply to Gabriel Krisman Bertazi

The error info is a record sent to users on FAN_FS_ERROR events documenting the type of error. It also carries an error count, documenting how many errors were observed since the last reporting.

Changes since v6:
- Rebase on top of pidfd patches

PATCH v8 29/32 fanotify: Allow users to request FAN_FS_ERROR events

In reply to Gabriel Krisman Bertazi

Wire up the FAN_FS_ERROR event in the fanotify_mark syscall, allowing user space to request the monitoring of FAN_FS_ERROR events.

These events are limited to filesystem marks, so check it is the case in the syscall handler.

PATCH v8 30/32 ext4: Send notifications on error

In reply to Gabriel Krisman Bertazi

Send a FS_ERROR message via fsnotify to a userspace monitoring tool whenever a ext4 error condition is triggered. This follows the existing error conditions in ext4, so it is hooked to the ext4_error* functions.

It also follows the current dmesg reporting in the format. The filesystem message is composed mostly by the string that would be otherwise printed in dmesg.

A new ext4 specific record format is exposed in the uapi, such that a monitoring tool knows what to expect when listening errors of an ext4 filesystem.

E.g. here you pass the 'error' to fsnotify. This will be just standard 'errno' number, not ext4 error code as described in the documentation. Also note that frequently 'error' will be 0 which gets magically transformed to EFSCORRUPTED in save_error_info() in the ext4 error handling below. So there's clearly some more work to do...

Nice catch.

The many 0 returns were discussed before, around v3. You can notice one of my LTP tests is designed to catch that. We agreed ext4 shouldn't be returning 0, and that we would write a patch to fix it, but I didn't think it belonged as part of this series.

You are also right about the EXT4_ vs. errno. the documentation is buggy, since it was brought from the fs-specific descriptor days, which no longer exists. Nevertheless, I think there is a case for always returning file system specific errors here, since they are more descriptive.

Should we agree to follow the documentation and return FS specific errors instead of errno, then?

Either way, I'm dropping all r-by flags here.

The fact that ext4 passes 0 into __ext4_error() to mean EFSCORRUPTED is an internal implementation detail, and as currently implemented it is *not* a bug. It was just a convenience to minimize the number of call sites that needed to be modified when we added the feature of storing the error code to be stored in the superblock.

So I think this is something that should be addressed in this patchset, and it's pretty simple to do so. It's just a matter of doing something like this:

      fsnotify_sb_error(sb, NULL, error ? error : EFSCORRUPTED);

So the history is that ext4 specific errors were used because we were storing them in the superblock --- and so we need an architecture independent way of storing the error codes. (Errno codes are not stable across architectures; and consider what might happen if we had error codes written on an say, an ARM platform, and then that disk is attached to an Alpha, S390, or Power system?)

Should we agree to follow the documentation and return FS specific errors instead of errno, then?

I disagree. We should use errno's, for a couple of reasons. First of all, users of fsnotify shouldn't need to know which file system to interpret the error codes.

Secondly, the reason why ext4 has file system specific error cdoes is because those codes are written into the superblock, and errno's are not stable across different architectures. So for ext4, we needed to worry what might happen if the error code was written while the file system was mounted on say, an ARM-64 system, and then storage device might get attached to a S390, Alpha, or PA-RISC system. This is not a problem that the fsnotify API needs to worry about.

Finally, the error codes that we used for the ext4 superblock are *not* more descriptive than errno's --- we only have 16 ext4-specific error codes, and there are far more errno values.

Cheers,

- Ted

Thanks guys, I've added the patch to my tree. If we had more time, I'd probably squash it but given I'd like to send Linus a pull request at the end of the week I don't want to touch commits that are already in next.

+====================================
+File system Monitoring with fanotify
+====================================
+
+File system Error Reporting
+===========================
+
+Fanotify supports the FAN_FS_ERROR event type for file system-wide error
+reporting.  It is meant to be used by file system health monitoring
+daemons, which listen for these events and take actions (notify
+sysadmin, start recovery) when a file system problem is detected.
+
+By design, A FAN_FS_ERROR notification exposes sufficient information
+for a monitoring tool to know a problem in the file system has happened.
+It doesn't necessarily provide a user space application with semantics
+to verify an IO operation was successfully executed.  That is out of
+scope for this feature.  Instead, it is only meant as a framework for
+early file system problem detection and reporting recovery tools.
+
+When a file system operation fails, it is common for dozens of kernel
+errors to cascade after the initial failure, hiding the original failure
+log, which is usually the most useful debug data to troubleshoot the
+problem.  For this reason, FAN_FS_ERROR tries to report only the first
+error that occurred for a process since the last notification, and it
+simply counts additional errors.  This ensures that the most important
+pieces of information are never lost.
+
+FAN_FS_ERROR requires the fanotify group to be setup with the
+FAN_REPORT_FID flag.
+
+At the time of this writing, the only file system that emits FAN_FS_ERROR
+notifications is Ext4.
+
+A user space example code is provided at ``samples/fanotify/fs-monitor.c``.
+
+A FAN_FS_ERROR Notification has the following format::
+
+  [ Notification Metadata (Mandatory) ]
+  [ Generic Error Record  (Mandatory) ]
+  [ FID record            (Mandatory) ]
+
+Generic error record
+--------------------
+
+The generic error record provides enough information for a file system
+agnostic tool to learn about a problem in the file system, without
+providing any additional details about the problem.  This record is
+identified by ``struct fanotify_event_info_header.info_type`` being set
+to FAN_EVENT_INFO_TYPE_ERROR.
+
+  struct fanotify_event_info_error {
+	struct fanotify_event_info_header hdr;
+	__s32 error;
+	__u32 error_count;
+  };
+
+The `error` field identifies the error in a file-system specific way.
+Ext4, for instance, which is the only file system implementing this
+interface at the time of this writing, exposes EXT4_ERR_ values in this
+field.  Please refer to the file system documentation for the meaning of
+specific error codes.
+
+`error_count` tracks the number of errors that occurred and were
+suppressed to preserve the original error information, since the last
+notification.
+
+FID record
+----------
+
+The FID record can be used to uniquely identify the inode that triggered
+the error through the combination of fsid and file handle.  A file system
+specific application can use that information to attempt a recovery
+procedure.  Errors that are not related to an inode are reported with an
+empty file handle of type FILEID_INVALID.

If 'error' is filesystem-specific number, then how does this work with "filesystem agnostic" tool? All it can tell is "something happened"... If the error was generic errno, I can see some value in the tool being able to tell this is fs corruption (EFSCORRUPTED), hardware problem (EIO), thin provisioning running out of space (ENOSPC) or something else. But yes, I do realize it is going to be more painful to make all filesystem generate these sensible error codes. Even within a filesystem it may be sometimes difficult to propagate proper error code to fsnotify so maybe error codes will not be usable for decisions like above... What do others think?
