Btrfs: tree logging unlink/rename fixes
The tree logging code allows individual files or directories to be logged without including operations on other files and directories in the FS. It tries to commit the minimal set of changes to disk in order to fsync the single file or directory that was sent to fsync or O_SYNC. The tree logging code was allowing files and directories to be unlinked if they were part of a rename operation where only one directory in the rename was in the fsync log. This patch adds a few new rules to the tree logging. 1) on rename or unlink, if the inode being unlinked isn't in the fsync log, we must force a full commit before doing an fsync of the directory where the unlink was done. The commit isn't done during the unlink, but it is forced the next time we try to log the parent directory. Solution: record transid of last unlink/rename per directory when the directory wasn't already logged. For renames this is only done when renaming to a different directory. mkdir foo/some_dir normal commit rename foo/some_dir foo2/some_dir mkdir foo/some_dir fsync foo/some_dir/some_file The fsync above will unlink the original some_dir without recording it in its new location (foo2). After a crash, some_dir will be gone unless the fsync of some_file forces a full commit 2) we must log any new names for any file or dir that is in the fsync log. This way we make sure not to lose files that are unlinked during the same transaction. 2a) we must log any new names for any file or dir during rename when the directory they are being removed from was logged. 2a is actually the more important variant. Without the extra logging a crash might unlink the old name without recreating the new one 3) after a crash, we must go through any directories with a link count of zero and redo the rm -rf mkdir f1/foo normal commit rm -rf f1/foo fsync(f1) The directory f1 was fully removed from the FS, but fsync was never called on f1, only its parent dir. After a crash the rm -rf must be replayed. This must be able to recurse down the entire directory tree. The inode link count fixup code takes care of the ugly details.
