This loop in xfs_growfs_data_private() is incorrect for V4
superblocks filesystems:
for (bucket = 0; bucket < XFS_AGFL_SIZE(mp); bucket++)
agfl->agfl_bno[bucket] = cpu_to_be32(NULLAGBLOCK);
For V4 filesystems, we don't have a agfl header structure, and so
XFS_AGFL_SIZE() returns an entire sector's worth of entries, which
we then index from an offset into the sector. Hence: buffer overrun.
This problem was introduced in 3.10 by commit 77c95bba ("xfs: add
CRC checks to the AGFL") which changed the AGFL structure but failed
to update the growfs code to handle the different structures.
Fix it by using the correct offset into the buffer for both V4 and
V5 filesystems.

(cherry picked from commit b7d961b35b)
Currently the xfs_inode.h header has a dependency on the definition
of the BMAP btree records as the inode fork includes an array of
xfs_bmbt_rec_host_t objects in it's definition.
Move all the btree format definitions from xfs_btree.h,
xfs_bmap_btree.h, xfs_alloc_btree.h and xfs_ialloc_btree.h to
xfs_format.h to continue the process of centralising the on-disk
format definitions. With this done, the xfs inode definitions are no
longer dependent on btree header files.
The enables a massive culling of unnecessary includes, with close to
200 #include directives removed from the XFS kernel code base.

xfs_trans.h has a dependency on xfs_log.h for a couple of
structures. Most code that does transactions doesn't need to know
anything about the log, but this dependency means that they have to
include xfs_log.h. Decouple the xfs_trans.h and xfs_log.h header
files and clean up the includes to be in dependency order.
In doing this, remove the direct include of xfs_trans_reserve.h from
xfs_trans.h so that we remove the dependency between xfs_trans.h and
xfs_mount.h. Hence the xfs_trans.h include can be moved to the

All of the buffer operations structures are needed to be exported
for xfs_db, so move them all to a common location rather than
spreading them all over the place. They are verifying the on-disk
format, so while xfs_format.h might be a good place, it is not part
of the on disk format.
Hence we need to create a new header file that we centralise these
related definitions. Start by moving the bffer operations
structures, and then also move all the other definitions that have
crept into xfs_log_format.h and xfs_format.h as there was no other

When xfs_growfs_data_private() is updating backup superblocks,
it bails out on the first error encountered, whether reading or
writing:
* If we get an error writing out the alternate superblocks,
* just issue a warning and continue. The real work is
* already done and committed.
This can cause a problem later during repair, because repair
looks at all superblocks, and picks the most prevalent one
as correct. If we bail out early in the backup superblock
loop, we can end up with more "bad" matching superblocks than
good, and a post-growfs repair may revert the filesystem to
the old geometry.
With the combination of superblock verifiers and old bugs,
we're more likely to encounter read errors due to verification.
And perhaps even worse, we don't even properly write any of the
newly-added superblocks in the new AGs.
Even with this change, growfs will still say:
xfs_growfs: XFS_IOC_FSGROWFSDATA xfsctl failed: Structure needs cleaning
data blocks changed from 319815680 to 335216640
which might be confusing to the user, but it at least communicates
that something has gone wrong, and dmesg will probably highlight
the need for an xfs_repair.
And this is still best-effort; if verifiers fail on more than
half the backup supers, they may still "win" - but that's probably
best left to repair to more gracefully handle by doing its own
strict verification as part of the backup super "voting."

Hence the only additional fields are the CRC and LSN fields. These
are unlogged, so place some space between the end of the logged
fields and them so that future expansion of the AGF for logged
fields can be placed adjacent to the existing logged fields and
hence not complicate the field-derived range based logging we

To separate the verifiers from iodone functions and associate read

operations structure to the xfs_buf.
This avoids the need for assigning the write verifier, clearing the
iodone function and re-running ioend processing in the read
verifier, and gets rid of the nasty "b_pre_io" name for the write
verifier function pointer. If we ever need to, it will also be
easier to add further content specific callbacks to a buffer with an
ops structure in place.
We also avoid needing to export verifier functions, instead we
can simply export the ops structures for those that are needed
outside the function they are defined in.
This patch also fixes a directory block readahead verifier issue

Add a verifier function callback capability to the buffer read
interfaces. This will be used by the callers to supply a function
that verifies the contents of the buffer when it is read from disk.
This patch does not provide callback functions, but simply modifies
the interfaces to allow them to be called.
The reason for adding this to the read interfaces is that it is very
difficult to tell fom the outside is a buffer was just read from
disk or whether we just pulled it out of cache. Supplying a callbck
allows the buffer cache to use it's internal knowledge of the buffer
to execute it only when the buffer is read from disk.
It is intended that the verifier functions will mark the buffer with
an EFSCORRUPTED error when verification fails. This allows the
reading context to distinguish a verification error from an IO
error, and potentially take further actions on the buffer (e.g.
attempt repair) based on the error reported.

When writing the new AG headers to disk, we can't attach write
verifiers because they have a dependency on the struct xfs-perag
being attached to the buffer to be fully initialised and growfs
can't fully initialise them until later in the process.
The simplest way to avoid this problem is to use uncached buffers
for writing the new headers. These buffers don't have the xfs-perag
attached to them, so it's simple to detect in the write verifier and
be able to skip the checks that need the xfs-perag.
This enables us to attach the appropriate buffer ops to the buffer
and hence calculate CRCs on the way to disk. IT also means that the
buffer is torn down immediately, and so the first access to the AG
headers will re-read the header from disk and perform full
verification of the buffer. This way we also can catch corruptions
due to problems that went undetected in growfs.

Rather than using a fixed preallocation size by default (up to 64k),

EOF preallocation will increase as the file size increases. Hence
for streaming writes we are much more likely to get large

When we need to cover the log, we issue dummy transactions to ensure
the current log tail is on disk. Unfortunately we currently use the
root inode in the dummy transaction, and the act of committing the
transaction dirties the inode at the VFS level.
As a result, the VFS writeback of the dirty inode will prevent the
filesystem from idling long enough for the log covering state
machine to complete. The state machine gets stuck in a loop issuing
new dummy transactions to cover the log and never makes progress.
To avoid this problem, the dummy transactions should not cause
externally visible state changes. To ensure this occurs, make sure
that dummy transactions log an unchanging field in the superblock as
it's state is never propagated outside the filesystem. This allows
the log covering state machine to complete successfully and the
filesystem now correctly enters a fully idle state about 90s after
the last modification was made.

Currently we need to either call IHOLD or xfs_trans_ihold on an inode when
joining it to a transaction via xfs_trans_ijoin.
This patches instead makes xfs_trans_ijoin usable on it's own by doing
an implicity xfs_trans_ihold, which also allows us to drop the third
argument. For the case where we want to hold a reference on the inode
a xfs_trans_ijoin_ref wrapper is added which does the IHOLD and marks
the inode for needing an xfs_iput. In addition to the cleaner interface
to the caller this also simplifies the implementation.

This patch drops over 700 lines of dmapi overhead. If we'll ever get HSM

The use of an array for the per-ag structures requires reallocation
of the array when growing the filesystem. This requires locking
access to the array to avoid use after free situations, and the
locking is difficult to get right. To avoid needing to reallocate an
array, change the per-ag structures to an allocated object per ag
and index them using a tree structure.
The AGs are always densely indexed (hence the use of an array), but
the number supported is 2^32 and lookups tend to be random and hence
indexing needs to scale. A simple choice is a radix tree - it works
well with this sort of index. This change also removes another
large contiguous allocation from the mount/growfs path in XFS.
The growing process now needs to change to only initialise the new
AGs required for the extra space, and as such only needs to
exclusively lock the tree for inserts. The rest of the code only
needs to lock the tree while doing lookups, and hence this will
remove all the deadlocks that currently occur on the m_perag_lock as
it is now an innermost lock. The lock is also changed to a spinlock
from a read/write lock as the hold time is now extremely short.
To complete the picture, the per-ag structures will need to be
reference counted to ensure that we don't free/modify them while
they are still in use. This will be done in subsequent patch.

Convert the old xfs tracing support that could only be used with the
out of tree kdb and xfsidbg patches to use the generic event tracer.
To use it make sure CONFIG_EVENT_TRACING is enabled and then enable
all xfs trace channels by:
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/xfs/enable
or alternatively enable single events by just doing the same in one
event subdirectory, e.g.
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/xfs/xfs_ihold/enable
or set more complex filters, etc. In Documentation/trace/events.txt
all this is desctribed in more detail. To reads the events do a
cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace
Compared to the last posting this patch converts the tracing mostly to
the one tracepoint per callsite model that other users of the new
tracing facility also employ. This allows a very fine-grained control
of the tracing, a cleaner output of the traces and also enables the
perf tool to use each tracepoint as a virtual performance counter,
allowing us to e.g. count how often certain workloads git various
spots in XFS. Take a look at
http://lwn.net/Articles/346470/
for some examples.
Also the btree tracing isn't included at all yet, as it will require
additional core tracing features not in mainline yet, I plan to
deliver it later.
And the really nice thing about this patch is that it actually removes
many lines of code while adding this nice functionality:

Currently, ext3 in mainline Linux doesn't have the freeze feature which
suspends write requests. So, we cannot take a backup which keeps the
filesystem's consistency with the storage device's features (snapshot and
replication) while it is mounted.
In many case, a commercial filesystem (e.g. VxFS) has the freeze feature
and it would be used to get the consistent backup.
If Linux's standard filesystem ext3 has the freeze feature, we can do it
without a commercial filesystem.
So I have implemented the ioctls of the freeze feature.
I think we can take the consistent backup with the following steps.
1. Freeze the filesystem with the freeze ioctl.
2. Separate the replication volume or create the snapshot
with the storage device's feature.
3. Unfreeze the filesystem with the unfreeze ioctl.
4. Take the backup from the separated replication volume
or the snapshot.
This patch:
VFS:
Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void"
to "int" so that they can return an error.
Rename write_super_lockfs and unlockfs of the super block operation
freeze_fs and unfreeze_fs to avoid a confusion.
ext3, ext4, xfs, gfs2, jfs:
Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void"
to "int" so that write_super_lockfs returns an error if needed,
and unlockfs always returns 0.
reiserfs:
Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void"
to "int" so that they always return 0 (success) to keep a current behavior.

supporting existing filesystems that already use this case-insensitive
mode migrated from IRIX. But, if you only need ASCII-only case-insensitive
support (ie. English only) and will never use another language, then this

ASCII-CI is implemented by generating hashes based on lower-case letters

doing the hashes and comparisons for all filename operations.
To create a filesystem with this CI mode, use: # mkfs.xfs -n version=ci

In media spaces, video is often stored in a frame-per-file format. When
dealing with uncompressed realtime HD video streams in this format, it is
crucial that files do not get fragmented and that multiple files a placed
contiguously on disk.
When multiple streams are being ingested and played out at the same time,
it is critical that the filesystem does not cross the streams and
interleave them together as this creates seek and readahead cache miss
latency and prevents both ingest and playout from meeting frame rate
targets.
This patch set creates a "stream of files" concept into the allocator to
place all the data from a single stream contiguously on disk so that RAID
array readahead can be used effectively. Each additional stream gets
placed in different allocation groups within the filesystem, thereby
ensuring that we don't cross any streams. When an AG fills up, we select a
new AG for the stream that is not in use.
The core of the functionality is the stream tracking - each inode that we
create in a directory needs to be associated with the directories' stream.
Hence every time we create a file, we look up the directories' stream
object and associate the new file with that object.
Once we have a stream object for a file, we use the AG that the stream
object point to for allocations. If we can't allocate in that AG (e.g. it
is full) we move the entire stream to another AG. Other inodes in the same
stream are moved to the new AG on their next allocation (i.e. lazy
update).
Stream objects are kept in a cache and hold a reference on the inode.
Hence the inode cannot be reclaimed while there is an outstanding stream
reference. This means that on unlink we need to remove the stream
association and we also need to flush all the associations on certain
events that want to reclaim all unreferenced inodes (e.g. filesystem
freeze).

During delayed allocation extent conversion or unwritten extent
conversion, we need to reserve some blocks for transactions reservations.
We need to reserve these blocks in case a btree split occurs and we need
to allocate some blocks.
Unfortunately, we've only ever reserved the number of data blocks we are
allocating, so in both the unwritten and delalloc case we can get ENOSPC
to the transaction reservation. This is bad because in both cases we
cannot report the failure to the writing application.
The fix is two-fold:
1 - leverage the reserved block infrastructure XFS already
has to reserve a small pool of blocks by default to allow
specially marked transactions to dip into when we are at
ENOSPC.
Default setting is min(5%, 1024 blocks).
2 - convert critical transaction reservations to be allowed
to dip into this pool. Spots changed are delalloc
conversion, unwritten extent conversion and growing a
filesystem at ENOSPC.
This also allows growing the filesytsem to succeed at ENOSPC.

When we have a couple of hundred transactions on the fly at once, they all
typically modify the on disk superblock in some way.
create/unclink/mkdir/rmdir modify inode counts, allocation/freeing modify
free block counts.
When these counts are modified in a transaction, they must eventually lock
the superblock buffer and apply the mods. The buffer then remains locked
until the transaction is committed into the incore log buffer. The result
of this is that with enough transactions on the fly the incore superblock
buffer becomes a bottleneck.
The result of contention on the incore superblock buffer is that
transaction rates fall - the more pressure that is put on the superblock
buffer, the slower things go.
The key to removing the contention is to not require the superblock fields
in question to be locked. We do that by not marking the superblock dirty
in the transaction. IOWs, we modify the incore superblock but do not
modify the cached superblock buffer. In short, we do not log superblock
modifications to critical fields in the superblock on every transaction.
In fact we only do it just before we write the superblock to disk every
sync period or just before unmount.
This creates an interesting problem - if we don't log or write out the
fields in every transaction, then how do the values get recovered after a
crash? the answer is simple - we keep enough duplicate, logged information
in other structures that we can reconstruct the correct count after log
recovery has been performed.
It is the AGF and AGI structures that contain the duplicate information;
after recovery, we walk every AGI and AGF and sum their individual
counters to get the correct value, and we do a transaction into the log to
correct them. An optimisation of this is that if we have a clean unmount
record, we know the value in the superblock is correct, so we can avoid
the summation walk under normal conditions and so mount/recovery times do
not change under normal operation.
One wrinkle that was discovered during development was that the blocks
used in the freespace btrees are never accounted for in the AGF counters.
This was once a valid optimisation to make; when the filesystem is full,
the free space btrees are empty and consume no space. Hence when it
matters, the "accounting" is correct. But that means the when we do the
AGF summations, we would not have a correct count and xfs_check would
complain. Hence a new counter was added to track the number of blocks used
by the free space btrees. This is an *on-disk format change*.
As a result of this, lazy superblock counters are a mkfs option and at the
moment on linux there is no way to convert an old filesystem. This is
possible - xfs_db can be used to twiddle the right bits and then
xfs_repair will do the format conversion for you. Similarly, you can
convert backwards as well. At some point we'll add functionality to
xfs_admin to do the bit twiddling easily....

When growing a filesystem we don't check to see if the new size overflows
the page cache index range, so we can do silly things like grow a
filesystem page 16TB on a 32bit. Check new filesystem sizes against the
limits the kernel can support.

It makes it incrementally clearer to read the code when the top of a macro
spaghetti-pile only receives the 3 arguments it uses, rather than 2 extra
ones which are not used. Also when you start pulling this thread out of
the sweater (i.e. remove unused args from XFS_BTREE_*_ADDR), a couple
other third arms etc fall off too. If they're not used in the macro, then
they sometimes don't need to be passed to the function calling the macro
either, etc....

The block reservation mechanism has been broken since the per-cpu
superblock counters were introduced. Make the block reservation code work
with the per-cpu counters by syncing the counters, snapshotting the amount
of available space and then doing a modifcation of the counter state
according to the result. Continue in a loop until we either have no space
available or we reserve some space.

The fix for recent ENOSPC deadlocks introduced certain limitations on
allocations. The fix could cause xfssyncd to loop endlessly if we did not
leave some space free for the allocator to work correctly. Basically, we
needed to ensure that we had at least 4 blocks free for an AG free list
and a block for the inode bmap btree at all times.
However, this did not take into account the fact that each AG has a free
list that needs 4 blocks. Hence any filesystem with more than one AG could
cause oversubscription of free space and make xfssyncd spin forever trying
to allocate space needed for AG freelists that was not available in the
AG.
The following patch reserves space for the free lists in all AGs plus the
inode bmap btree which prevents oversubscription. It also prevents those
blocks from being reported as free space (as they can never be used) and
makes the SMP in-core superblock accounting code and the reserved block
ioctl respect this requirement.

threads, the incore superblock lock becomes the limiting factor for
buffered write throughput. Make the contended fields in the incore
superblock use per-cpu counters so that there is no global lock to limit
scalability.

the data/attr forks now grow up/down from either end of the literal area,
rather than dividing the literal area into two chunks and growing both
upward. Means we can now make much more efficient use of the attribute
space, incl. fitting DMF attributes inline in 256 byte inodes, and large
jumps in dbench3 performance numbers. It is self enabling, but can be
forced on/off via the attr2/noattr2 mount options.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
