with softupdates panics the kernel. The problem that has been pointed
out is that when there is a transient write error on certain metadata
blocks, specifically directory blocks (PAGEDEP), inode blocks
(INODEDEP), indirect pointer blocks (INDIRDEPS), and cylinder group
(BMSAFEMAP, but only when journaling is enabled), we get a panic
in one of the routines called by softdep_disk_io_initiation that
the I/O is "already started" when we retry the write.
These dependency types potentially need to do roll-backs when called
by softdep_disk_io_initiation before doing a write and then a
roll-forward when called by softdep_disk_write_complete after the
I/O completes. The panic happens when there is a transient error.
At the top of softdep_disk_write_complete we check to see if the
write had an error and if an error occurred we just return. This
return is correct most of the time because the main role of the routines
called by softdep_disk_write_complete is to process the now-completed
dependencies so that the next I/O steps can happen.
But for the four types listed above, they do not get to do their
rollback operations. This causes the panic when softdep_disk_io_initiation
gets called on the second attempt to do the write and the roll-back
routines find that the roll-backs have already been done. As an
aside I note that there is also the problem that the buffer will
have been unlocked and thus made visible to the filesystem and to
user applications with the roll-backs in place.
The way to resolve the problem is to add a flag to the routines called
by softdep_disk_write_complete for the four dependency types noted
that indicates whether the write was successful (WRITESUCCEEDED).
If the write does not succeed, they do just the roll-backs and then
return. If the write was successful they also do their usual
processing of the now-completed dependencies.
The fix was tested by selectively injecting write errors for buffers
holding dependencies of each of the four types noted above and then
verifying that the kernel no longer paniced and that following the
successful retry of the write that the filesystem could be unmounted
and successfully checked cleanly.

allocation unwinding.
Dandling buffers are released on UFS_BALLOC() failure to ensure that
later attempt to allocate blocks in close range do not find the blocks
with invalid content, since possible partial block allocations are
unwound. As such, it is not enough to just release the buffers, the
pages must also invalidated and removed from the vnode vm_object
queue. Otherwise the pages might be found later and used to
reconstruct indirect buffers when doing allocations at offset close to
the failure point, and their stale content compromise the filesystem
integrity.
Note that just marking the buffer as B_INVAL is not enough, B_NOCACHE
is required. To be sure, clear the B_CACHE flag as well. This
complements the r174973, which started releasing buffers.

validate that the inode is in a range of inodes that have been

a buffer pointer in the event of an error (for some errors it would
return a buffer pointer and for other errors it would not return a
buffer pointer). The cluster_read() function was similarly inconsistent.
Clients of these functions were inconsistent in handling errors.
Some would assume that no buffer was returned after an error and
would thus lose buffers under certain error conditions. Others would
assume that brelse() should always be called after an error and
would thus panic the system under certain error conditions.
To correct both of these problems with minimal code churn, bread()
and cluster_write() now always free the buffer when returning an
error thus ensuring that buffers will never be lost. The brelse()
routine checks for being passed a NULL buffer pointer and silently
returns to avoid panics. Thus both approaches to handling error
returns from bread() and cluster_read() will work correctly.
Future code should be written assuming that bread() and cluster_read()
will never return a buffer with an error, so should not attempt to
brelse() the buffer when an error is returned.

First, on the write error, bufdone() call from ffs_backgroundwrite()
panics because pbrelvp() cleared bp->b_bufobj, while brelse() would
try to re-dirty the copy of the cg buffer. Handle this by setting
B_INVAL for the case of BIO_ERROR.
Second, we must re-dirty the real buffer containing the cylinder group
block data when background write failed. Real cg buffer was already
marked clean in ffs_bufwrite(). After the BV_BKGRDINPROG flag is
cleared on the real cg buffer in ffs_backgroundwrite(), buffer scan
may reuse the buffer at any moment. The result is lost write, and if
the write error was only transient, we get corrupted bitmaps.
We cannot re-dirty the original cg buffer in the
ffs_backgroundwritedone(), since the context is not sleepable,
preventing us from sleeping for origbp' lock. Add BV_BKGDERR flag
(protected by the buffer object lock), which is converted into delayed

that vnodes with dirty pages are active. This is enforced by
vinactive() doing vm_object_page_clean() pass over the vnode pages.
The issue is, if vinactive() cannot be called during vput() due to the
vnode being only shared-locked, we might end up with the dirty pages
for the vnode on the free list. Such vnode is invisible to syncer,
and pages are only cleaned on the vnode reactivation. In other words,
the race results in the broken guarantee that user data, written
through the mmap(2), is written to the disk not later than in 30
seconds after the write.
Fix this by keeping the vnode which is freed but still owing
inactivation, on the active list. When syncer loops find such vnode,
it is deactivated and cleaned by the final vput() call.
