Pull xfs updates from Darrick Wong:
"There's a lot in this cycle.
Starting with bug fixes: To avoid livelocks between the logging code
and the quota code, we've disabled the ability of quotaoff to turn off
quota accounting. (Admins can still disable quota enforcement, but
truly turning off accounting requires a remount.) We've tried to do
this in a careful enough way that there shouldn't be any user visible
effects aside from quotaoff no longer randomly hanging the system.
We've also fixed some bugs in runtime log behavior that could trip up
log recovery if (otherwise unrelated) transactions manage to start and
commit concurrently; some bugs in the GETFSMAP ioctl where we would
incorrectly restrict the range of records output if the two xfs
devices are of different sizes; a bug that resulted in fallocate
funshare failing unnecessarily; and broken behavior in the xfs inode
cache when DONTCACHE is in play.
As for new features: we now batch inode inactivations in percpu
background threads, which sharply decreases frontend thread wait time
when performing file deletions and should improve overall directory
tree deletion times. This eliminates both the problem where closing an
unlinked file (especially on a frozen fs) can stall for a long time,
and should also ease complaints about direct reclaim bogging down on
unlinked file cleanup.
Starting with this release, we've enabled pipelining of the XFS log.
On workloads with high rates of metadata updates to different shards
of the filesystem, multiple threads can be used to format committed
log updates into log checkpoints.
Lastly, with this release, two new features have graduated to
supported status: inode btree counters (for faster mounts), and
support for dates beyond Y2038. Expect these to be enabled by default
in a future release of xfsprogs.
Summary:
- Fix a potential log livelock on busy filesystems when there's so
much work going on that we can't finish a quotaoff before filling
up the log by removing the ability to disable quota accounting.
- Introduce the ability to use per-CPU data structures in XFS so that
we can do a better job of maintaining CPU locality for certain
operations.

Convert the xfs_sb_version_hasfoo() to checks against

operations (e.g. in the read/write verifiers and the to/from disk

Large parts of this conversion were done with sed with commands like

If we want to use active references to the perag to be able to gate
shrink removing AGs and hence perags safely, we've got a fair bit of
work to do actually use perags in all the places we need to.
There's a lot of code that iterates ag numbers and then
looks up perags from that, often multiple times for the same perag
in the one operation. If we want to use reference counted perags for
access control, then we need to convert all these uses to perag
iterators, not agno iterators.
[Patches 1-4]
The first step of this is consolidating all the perag management -
init, free, get, put, etc into a common location. THis is spread all
over the place right now, so move it all into libxfs/xfs_ag.[ch].
This does expose kernel only bits of the perag to libxfs and hence
userspace, so the structures and code is rearranged to minimise the
number of ifdefs that need to be added to the userspace codebase.
The perag iterator in xfs_icache.c is promoted to a first class API
and expanded to the needs of the code as required.
[Patches 5-10]
These are the first basic perag iterator conversions and changes to
pass the perag down the stack from those iterators where
appropriate. A lot of this is obvious, simple changes, though in
some places we stop passing the perag down the stack because the
code enters into an as yet unconverted subsystem that still uses raw
AGs.
[Patches 11-16]
These replace the agno passed in the btree cursor for per-ag btree
operations with a perag that is passed to the cursor init function.
The cursor takes it's own reference to the perag, and the reference
is dropped when the cursor is deleted. Hence we get reference
coverage for the entire time the cursor is active, even if the code
that initialised the cursor drops it's reference before the cursor
or any of it's children (duplicates) have been deleted.
The first patch adds the perag infrastructure for the cursor, the
next four patches convert a btree cursor at a time, and the last
removes the agno from the cursor once it is unused.
[Patches 17-21]
These patches are a demonstration of the simplifications and
cleanups that come from plumbing the perag through interfaces that
select and then operate on a specific AG. In this case the inode
allocation algorithm does up to three walks across all AGs before it
either allocates an inode or fails. Two of these walks are purely
just to select the AG, and even then it doesn't guarantee inode
allocation success so there's a third walk if the selected AG
allocation fails.
These patches collapse the selection and allocation into a single
loop, simplifies the error handling because xfs_dir_ialloc() always
returns ENOSPC if no AG was selected for inode allocation or we fail
to allocate an inode in any AG, gets rid of xfs_dir_ialloc()
wrapper, converts inode allocation to run entirely from a single
perag instance, and then factors xfs_dialloc() into a much, much
simpler loop which is easy to understand.
Hence we end up with the same inode allocation logic, but it only
needs two complete iterations at worst, makes AG selection and
allocation atomic w.r.t. shrink and chops out out over 100 lines of
code from this hot code path.
[Patch 22]
Converts the unlink path to pass perags through it.
There's more conversion work to be done, but this patchset gets
through a large chunk of it in one hit. Most of the iterators are
converted, so once this is solidified we can move on to converting
these to active references for being able to free perags while the
fs is still active.

to a different type with constant struct list_head pointers, and
uses this pointer to call the functions, which trips indirect call
Control-Flow Integrity (CFI) checking.
Instead of removing the consts, this change defines the
list_cmp_func_t type and changes the comparison function types of
all list_sort() callers to use const pointers, thus avoiding type
mismatches.

xfs_buftarg_drain() is called from xfs_log_quiesce() to ensure the
buffer cache is reclaimed during unmount. xfs_log_quiesce() is also
called from xfs_quiesce_attr(), however, which means that cache
state is completely drained for filesystem freeze and read-only
remount. While technically harmless, this is unnecessarily
heavyweight. Both freeze and read-only mounts allow reads and thus
allow population of the buffer cache. Therefore, the transitional
sequence in either case really only needs to quiesce outstanding
writes to return the filesystem in a generally read-only state.
Additionally, some users have reported that attempts to freeze a
filesystem concurrent with a read-heavy workload causes the freeze
process to stall for a significant amount of time. This occurs
because, as mentioned above, the read workload repopulates the
buffer LRU while the freeze task attempts to drain it.
To improve this situation, replace the drain in xfs_log_quiesce()
with a buffer I/O quiesce and lift the drain into the unmount path.
This removes buffer LRU reclaim from freeze and read-only [re]mount,
but ensures the LRU is still drained before the filesystem unmounts.

At unmount time, XFS emits an alert for every in-core buffer that
might have undergone a write error. In practice this behavior is
probably reasonable given that the filesystem is likely short lived
once I/O errors begin to occur consistently. Under certain test or
otherwise expected error conditions, this can spam the logs and slow
down the unmount.
Now that we have a ratelimit mechanism specifically for buffer
alerts, reuse it for the per-buffer alerts in xfs_wait_buftarg().
Also lift the final repair message out of the loop so it always
prints and assert that the metadata error handling code has shut
down the fs.

XFS has some inconsistent log message rate limiting with respect to
buffer alerts. The metadata I/O error notification uses the generic
ratelimited alert, the buffer push code uses a custom rate limit and
the similar quiesce time failure checks are not rate limited at all
(when they should be).
The custom rate limit defined in the buf item code is specifically
crafted for buffer alerts. It is more aggressive than generic rate
limiting code because it must accommodate a high frequency of I/O
error events in a relative short timeframe.
Factor out the custom rate limit state from the buf item code into a
per-buftarg rate limit so various alerts are limited based on the
target. Define a buffer alert helper function and use it for the
buffer alerts that are already ratelimited.

The buffer write failure flag is intended to control the internal
write retry that XFS has historically implemented to help mitigate
the severity of transient I/O errors. The flag is set when a buffer
is resubmitted from the I/O completion path due to a previous
failure. It is checked on subsequent I/O completions to skip the
internal retry and fall through to the higher level configurable
error handling mechanism. The flag is cleared in the synchronous and
delwri submission paths and also checked in various places to log
write failure messages.
There are a couple minor problems with the current usage of this
flag. One is that we issue an internal retry after every submission
from xfsaild due to how delwri submission clears the flag. This
results in double the expected or configured number of write
attempts when under sustained failures. Another more subtle issue is
that the flag is never cleared on successful I/O completion. This
can cause xfs_wait_buftarg() to suggest that dirty buffers are being
thrown away due to the existence of the flag, when the reality is
that the flag might still be set because the write succeeded on the
retry.
Clear the write failure flag on successful I/O completion to address
both of these problems. This means that the internal retry attempt
occurs once since the last time a buffer write failed and that
various other contexts only see the flag set when the immediately
previous write attempt has failed.
