[PATCH] Revert "f2fs: skip node_change lock for inline data writes"

[Chao Yu <chao@kernel.org>]

From: Chao Yu <chao@kernel.org>

This reverts commit 66eec36c2421383e5b32e9c1740f656474c80df8.

Fault injection + shutdown stress test reports inconsistent inline
data after "f2fs_io shutdown 2" (mode=lfs, nonzone, segs=1):

[__chk_dentries:2067] [  6]-[0x26] name[0MVNBi,Cv33...] len[0x20] ino[0x4190] type[0x7]
[ASSERT] (fsck_chk_inode_blk:1142)  --> [0x4190] junk inline data
[fsck_chk_inode_blk:1150] ino[0x4190] has inline data!
...
[FSCK] other corrupted bugs                           [Fail]

ino 0x4190 is an encrypted symlink, the inode block pointed by the
last checkpoint's NAT entry contains valid inline data, however
F2FS_DATA_EXIST is not set in i_inline (i_size is stale as well).

The node_change rwsem was taken in prepare_write_begin() for inline
inodes in order to serialize write_begin with block_operations():
checkpoint holds node_change for write from the last check of
F2FS_DIRTY_IMETA until all dirty node blocks are flushed, so either
1) FI_DATA_EXIST is set before the check, the inode is in DIRTY_META
   list, and f2fs_sync_inode_meta() -> f2fs_update_inode() syncs
   F2FS_DATA_EXIST and i_size into the inode block before it is
   written by checkpoint, or
2) FI_DATA_EXIST is set after block_operations(), then the inode
   block written by this checkpoint does not contain the new inline
   data.

Commit 66eec36c2421 ("f2fs: skip node_change lock for inline data
writes") skips the lock for writes which fit in inline area, assuming
setting FI_DATA_EXIST only dirties inode metadata.
However, dirtying inode metadata after F2FS_DIRTY_IMETA was checked,
while f2fs_write_inline_data() (which never holds any checkpoint
lock) copies inline data into the inode block, breaks the above
ordering, then checkpoint persists an inode block which has inline
data but stale i_inline/i_size:

- f2fs_symlink                       - f2fs_write_checkpoint
 - f2fs_add_link                      - block_operations
  - f2fs_init_inode_metadata
  : i_inline = F2FS_INLINE_DATA
  - f2fs_update_parent_metadata

                                       : F2FS_DIRTY_IMETA is zero, skip
                                         f2fs_sync_inode_meta()
 - page_symlink
  - f2fs_write_begin
   - prepare_write_begin
   : missed f2fs_map_lock(), i.e.
     f2fs_down_read(node_change), so
     it isn't blocked by checkpoint

    - memcpy_from_folio
    - f2fs_mark_cache_dirty
    : ientry has inline data, but
      no F2FS_DATA_EXIST in i_inline
                                       - f2fs_down_write(node_write)

                                        - __write_node_cache
                                        : write ientry w/ stale i_inline
                                       : F2FS_DIRTY_IMETA isn't rechecked
                                      - f2fs_flush_nat_entries
                                      - do_checkpoint
- f2fs_io shutdown 2
: dirty inode is lost, fsck finds "junk inline data"

Besides the fsck error, for regular inline file, stale i_size may
cause data loss after sudden power-off even if checkpoint is
committed.

Let's revert the commit to restore node_change serialization for
inline data writes, and add a comment above f2fs_map_lock().

Drop original one or apply this revert patch is both fine to me.
