Back in the days when the direct I/O ->end_io callback could be called
from interrupt context for AIO we needed a structure to hand off to the
workqueue, and reused the ioend structure for this purpose. These days
->end_io is always called from user or workqueue context, which allows us
to avoid this memory allocation and simplify the code significantly.

xfs_vm_writepage() walks each buffer_head on the page, maps to the block
on disk and attaches to a running ioend structure that represents the
I/O submission. A new ioend is created when the type of I/O (unwritten,
delayed allocation or overwrite) required for a particular buffer_head
differs from the previous. If a buffer_head is a delalloc or unwritten
buffer, the associated bits are cleared by xfs_map_at_offset() once the
buffer_head is added to the ioend.
The process of mapping each buffer_head occurs in xfs_map_blocks() and
acquires the ilock in blocking or non-blocking mode, depending on the
type of writeback in progress. If the lock cannot be acquired for
non-blocking writeback, we cancel the ioend, redirty the page and
return. Writeback will revisit the page at some later point.
Note that we acquire the ilock for each buffer on the page. Therefore
during non-blocking writeback, it is possible to add an unwritten buffer
to the ioend, clear the unwritten state, fail to acquire the ilock when
mapping a subsequent buffer and cancel the ioend. If this occurs, the
unwritten status of the buffer sitting in the ioend has been lost. The
page will eventually hit writeback again, but xfs_vm_writepage() submits
overwrite I/O instead of unwritten I/O and does not perform unwritten
extent conversion at I/O completion. This leads to data corruption
because unwritten extents are treated as holes on reads and zeroes are
returned instead of reading from disk.
Modify xfs_cancel_ioend() to restore the buffer unwritten bit for ioends
of type XFS_IO_UNWRITTEN. This ensures that unwritten extent conversion
occurs once the page is eventually written back.

XFS has been having trouble with stray delayed allocation extents
beyond EOF for a long time. Recent changes to the collapse range
code has triggered erroneous EBUSY errors on page invalidtion for
block size smaller than page size filesystems. These
have been caused by dirty buffers beyond EOF on a partial page which
do not get written to disk during a sync.
The issue is that write-ahead in xfs_cluster_write() finds such a
partial page and handles it by leaving the page dirty but pushing it
into a writeback state. This used to work just fine, as the
write_cache_pages() code would then find the dirty partial page in
the next mapping tree lookup as the dirty tag is still set.
Unfortunately, when we moved to a mark and sweep approach to
writeback to fix other writeback sync issues, we broken this. THe
act of marking the page as under writeback now clears the TOWRITE
tag in the radix tree, even though the page is still dirty. This
causes the TOWRITE tag to be cleared, and hence the next lookup on
the mapping tree does not find the dirty partial page and so doesn't
try to write it again.
This same writeback bug was found recently in ext4 and fixed in
commit 1c8349a ("ext4: fix data integrity sync in ordered mode")
without communication to the wider filesystem community. We can use
exactly the same fix here so the TOWRITE flag is not cleared on
partial page writes.

generic/263 is failing fsx at this point with a page spanning
EOF that cannot be invalidated. The operations are:
1190 mapwrite 0x52c00 thru 0x5e569 (0xb96a bytes)
1191 mapread 0x5c000 thru 0x5d636 (0x1637 bytes)
1192 write 0x5b600 thru 0x771ff (0x1bc00 bytes)
where 1190 extents EOF from 0x54000 to 0x5e569. When the direct IO
write attempts to invalidate the cached page over this range, it
fails with -EBUSY and so any attempt to do page invalidation fails.
The real question is this: Why can't that page be invalidated after
it has been written to disk and cleaned?
Well, there's data on the first two buffers in the page (1k block
size, 4k page), but the third buffer on the page (i.e. beyond EOF)
is failing drop_buffers because it's bh->b_state == 0x3, which is
BH_Uptodate | BH_Dirty. IOWs, there's dirty buffers beyond EOF. Say
what?
OK, set_buffer_dirty() is called on all buffers from
__set_page_buffers_dirty(), regardless of whether the buffer is
beyond EOF or not, which means that when we get to ->writepage,
we have buffers marked dirty beyond EOF that we need to clean.
So, we need to implement our own .set_page_dirty method that
doesn't dirty buffers beyond EOF.
This is messy because the buffer code is not meant to be shared
and it has interesting locking issues on the buffer dirty bits.
So just copy and paste it and then modify it to suit what we need.
Note: the solutions the other filesystems and generic block code use
of marking the buffers clean in ->writepage does not work for XFS.
It still leaves dirty buffers beyond EOF and invalidations still
fail. Hence rather than play whack-a-mole, this patch simply
prevents those buffers from being dirtied in the first place.

This issue can be triggered via xfstests/generic/308.
The reason is that the end_index is unsigned long with maximum value
'2^32-1=4294967295' on 32-bit platform, and the given offset cause it
wrapped to 0, so that the following codes will repeat again and again
until the task schedule time out:
end_index = offset >> PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT;
last_index = (offset - 1) >> PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT;
if (page->index >= end_index) {
unsigned offset_into_page = offset & (PAGE_CACHE_SIZE - 1);
/*
* Just skip the page if it is fully outside i_size, e.g. due
* to a truncate operation that is in progress.
*/
if (page->index >= end_index + 1 || offset_into_page == 0) {
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
unlock_page(page);
return 0;
}
In order to check if a page is fully outsids i_size or not, we can fix
the code logic as below:
if (page->index > end_index ||
(page->index == end_index && offset_into_page == 0))
Secondly, there still has another similar issue when calculating the
end offset for mapping the filesystem blocks to the file blocks for
delalloc. With the same tests to above, run unmount(8) will cause

Al Viro tracked down the problem that has caused generic/263 to fail
on XFS since the test was introduced. If is caused by
xfs_get_blocks() mapping a single extent that spans EOF without
marking it as buffer-new() so that the direct IO code does not zero
the tail of the block at the new EOF. This is a long standing bug
that has been around for many, many years.
Because xfs_get_blocks() starts the map before EOF, it can't set
buffer_new(), because that causes he direct IO code to also zero
unaligned sectors at the head of the IO. This would overwrite valid
data with zeros, and hence we cannot validly return a single extent
that spans EOF to direct IO.
Fix this by detecting a mapping that spans EOF and truncate it down
to EOF. This results in the the direct IO code doing the right thing
for unaligned data blocks before EOF, and then returning to get
another mapping for the region beyond EOF which XFS treats correctly
by setting buffer_new() on it. This makes direct Io behave correctly
w.r.t. tail block zeroing beyond EOF, and fsx is happy about that.
Again, thanks to Al Viro for finding what I couldn't.

If we fail a write beyond EOF and have to handle it in
xfs_vm_write_begin(), we truncate the inode back to the current inode
size. This doesn't take into account the fact that we may have
already made successful writes to the same page (in the case of block
size < page size) and hence we can truncate the page cache away from
blocks with valid data in them. If these blocks are delayed
allocation blocks, we now have a mismatch between the page cache and
the extent tree, and this will trigger - at minimum - a delayed
block count mismatch assert when the inode is evicted from the cache.
We can also trip over it when block mapping for direct IO - this is
the most common symptom seen from fsx and fsstress when run from
xfstests.

When a write fails, if we don't clear the delalloc flags from the
buffers over the failed range, they can persist beyond EOF and cause
problems. writeback will see the pages in the page cache, see they
are dirty and continually retry the write, assuming that the page
beyond EOF is just racing with a truncate. The page will eventually
be released due to some other operation (e.g. direct IO), and it
will not pass through invalidation because it is dirty. Hence it
will be released with buffer_delay set on it, and trigger warnings
in xfs_vm_releasepage() and assert fail in xfs_file_aio_write_direct
because invalidation failed and we didn't write the corect amount.
This causes failures on block size < page size filesystems in fsx
and fsstress workloads run by xfstests.
Fix it by completely trashing any state on the buffer that could be
used to imply that it contains valid data when the delalloc range
over the buffer is punched out during the failed write handling.

xfs_aops_discard_page() was introduced in the following commit:
xfs: truncate delalloc extents when IO fails in writeback
... to clean up left over delalloc ranges after I/O failure in
->writepage(). generic/224 tests for this scenario and occasionally
reproduces panics on sub-4k blocksize filesystems.
The cause of this is failure to clean up the delalloc range on a
page where the first buffer does not match one of the expected
states of xfs_check_page_type(). If a buffer is not unwritten,
delayed or dirty&mapped, xfs_check_page_type() stops and
immediately returns 0.
The stress test of generic/224 creates a scenario where the first
several buffers of a page with delayed buffers are mapped & uptodate
and some subsequent buffer is delayed. If the ->writepage() happens
to fail for this page, xfs_aops_discard_page() incorrectly skips
the entire page.
This then causes later failures either when direct IO maps the range
and finds the stale delayed buffer, or we evict the inode and find
that the inode still has a delayed block reservation accounted to
it.
We can easily fix this xfs_aops_discard_page() failure by making
xfs_check_page_type() check all buffers, but this breaks
xfs_convert_page() more than it is already broken. Indeed,
xfs_convert_page() wants xfs_check_page_type() to tell it if the
first buffers on the pages are of a type that can be aggregated into
the contiguous IO that is already being built.
xfs_convert_page() should not be writing random buffers out of a
page, but the current behaviour will cause it to do so if there are
buffers that don't match the current specification on the page.
Hence for xfs_convert_page() we need to:
a) return "not ok" if the first buffer on the page does not
match the specification provided to we don't write anything;
and
b) abort it's buffer-add-to-io loop the moment we come
across a buffer that does not match the specification.
Hence we need to fix both xfs_check_page_type() and
xfs_convert_page() to work correctly with pages that have mixed
buffer types, whilst allowing xfs_aops_discard_page() to scan all
buffers on the page for a type match.

Page cache allocation doesn't always go through ->begin_write and
hence we don't always get the opportunity to set the allocation
context to GFP_NOFS. Failing to do this means we open up the direct
relcaim stack to recurse into the filesystem and consume a
significant amount of stack.
On RHEL6.4 kernels we are seeing ra_submit() and
generic_file_splice_read() from an nfsd context recursing into the
filesystem via the inode cache shrinker and evicting inodes. This is
causing truncation to be run (e.g EOF block freeing) and causing
bmap btree block merges and free space btree block splits to occur.
These btree manipulations are occurring with the call chain already
30 functions deep and hence there is not enough stack space to
complete such operations.
To avoid these specific overruns, we need to prevent the page cache
allocation from recursing via direct reclaim. We can do that because
the allocation functions take the allocation context from that which
is stored in the mapping for the inode. We don't set that right now,
so the default is GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE, which is effectively a
GFP_KERNEL context. We need it to be the equivalent of GFP_NOFS, so
when we initialise an inode, set the mapping gfp mask appropriately.
This makes the use of AOP_FLAG_NOFS redundant from other parts of
the XFS IO path, so get rid of it.

xfs_mount.h. Hence the xfs_trans.h include can be moved to the
indicate the actual dependencies other header files have on it.
Note that these are kernel only header files, so this does not
translate to any userspace changes at all.

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
shared header file to put them in.

Add support to the core direct-io code to defer AIO completions to user
context using a workqueue. This replaces opencoded and less efficient
code in XFS and ext4 (we save a memory allocation for each direct IO)
and will be needed to properly support O_(D)SYNC for AIO.
The communication between the filesystem and the direct I/O code requires
a new buffer head flag, which is a bit ugly but not avoidable until the
direct I/O code stops abusing the buffer_head structure for communicating
with the filesystems.
Currently this creates a per-superblock unbound workqueue for these
completions, which is taken from an earlier patch by Jan Kara. I'm
not really convinced about this use and would prefer a "normal" global
workqueue with a high concurrency limit, but this needs further discussion.

Now we have xfs_inode.c for holding kernel-only XFS inode
operations, move all the inode operations from xfs_vnodeops.c to
this new file as it holds another set of kernel-only inode
operations. The name of this file traces back to the days of Irix
and it's vnodes which we don't have anymore.
Essentially this move consolidates the inode locking functions
and a bunch of XFS inode operations into the one file. Eventually
the high level functions will be merged into the VFS interface
functions in xfs_iops.c.
This leaves only internal preallocation, EOF block manipulation and
hole punching functions in vnodeops.c. Move these to xfs_bmap_util.c

There is a bunch of code in xfs_bmap.c that is kernel specific and
not shared with userspace. To minimise the difference between the
kernel and userspace code, shift this unshared code to
xfs_bmap_util.c, and the declarations to xfs_bmap_util.h.
The biggest issue here is xfs_bmap_finish() - userspace has it's own
definition of this function, and so we need to move it out of
xfs_bmap.[ch]. This means several other files need to include
xfs_bmap_util.h as well.
It also introduces and interesting dance for the stack switching
code in xfs_bmapi_allocate(). The stack switching/workqueue code is
actually moved to xfs_bmap_util.c, so that userspace can simply use
a #define in a header file to connect the dots without needing to
know about the stack switch code at all.

In xfs_vm_write_failed(), we evaluate the block_offset of pos with
PAGE_MASK which is an unsigned long. That is fine on 64-bit platforms
regardless of whether the request pos is 32-bit or 64-bit. However, on
32-bit platforms the value is 0xfffff000 and so the high 32 bits in it
will be masked off with (pos & PAGE_MASK) for a 64-bit pos.
As a result, the evaluated block_offset is incorrect which will cause
this failure ASSERT(block_offset + from == pos); and potentially pass
the wrong block to xfs_vm_kill_delalloc_range().
In this case, we can get a kernel panic if CONFIG_XFS_DEBUG is enabled:

FSX on 512 byte block size filesystems has been failing for some
time with corrupted data. The fault dates back to the change in
the writeback data integrity algorithm that uses a mark-and-sweep
approach to avoid data writeback livelocks.
Unfortunately, a side effect of this mark-and-sweep approach is that
each page will only be written once for a data integrity sync, and
there is a condition in writeback in XFS where a page may require
two writeback attempts to be fully written. As a result of the high
level change, we now only get a partial page writeback during the
integrity sync because the first pass through writeback clears the
mark left on the page index to tell writeback that the page needs
writeback....
The cause is writing a partial page in the clustering code. This can
happen when a mapping boundary falls in the middle of a page - we
end up writing back the first part of the page that the mapping
covers, but then never revisit the page to have the remainder mapped
and written.
The fix is simple - if the mapping boundary falls inside a page,
then simple abort clustering without touching the page. This means
that the next ->writepage entry that write_cache_pages() will make
is the page we aborted on, and xfs_vm_writepage() will map all
sections of the page correctly. This behaviour is also optimal for
non-data integrity writes, as it results in contiguous sequential
writeback of the file rather than missing small holes and having to
write them a "random" writes in a future pass.
With this fix, all the fsx tests in xfstests now pass on a 512 byte
block size filesystem on a 4k page machine.

Currently there is no way to truncate partial page where the end
truncate point is not at the end of the page. This is because it was not
needed and the functionality was enough for file system truncate
operation to work properly. However more file systems now support punch
hole feature and it can benefit from mm supporting truncating page just
up to the certain point.
Specifically, with this functionality truncate_inode_pages_range() can
be changed so it supports truncating partial page at the end of the
range (currently it will BUG_ON() if 'end' is not at the end of the
page).
This commit changes the invalidatepage() address space operation
prototype to accept range to be invalidated and update all the instances
for it.
We also change the block_invalidatepage() in the same way and actually
make a use of the new length argument implementing range invalidation.
Actual file system implementations will follow except the file systems
where the changes are really simple and should not change the behaviour
in any way .Implementation for truncate_page_range() which will be able
to accept page unaligned ranges will follow as well.

When a dirty page is truncated from a file but reclaim gets to it before
truncate_inode_pages(), we hit WARN_ON(delalloc) in
xfs_vm_releasepage(). This is because reclaim tries to write the page,
xfs_vm_writepage() just bails out (leaving page clean) and thus reclaim
thinks it can continue and calls xfs_vm_releasepage() on page with dirty
buffers.
Fix the issue by redirtying the page in xfs_vm_writepage(). This makes
reclaim stop reclaiming the page and also logically it keeps page in a
more consistent state where page with dirty buffers has PageDirty set.

The direct IO path can do a nested transaction reservation when
writing past the EOF. The first transaction is the append
transaction for setting the filesize at IO completion, but we can
also need a transaction for allocation of blocks. If the log is low
on space due to reservations and small log, the append transaction
can be granted after wating for space as the only active transaction
in the system. This then attempts a reservation for an allocation,
which there isn't space in the log for, and the reservation sleeps.
The result is that there is nothing left in the system to wake up
all the processes waiting for log space to come free.
The stack trace that shows this deadlock is relatively innocuous:
xlog_grant_head_wait
xlog_grant_head_check
xfs_log_reserve
xfs_trans_reserve
xfs_iomap_write_direct
__xfs_get_blocks
xfs_get_blocks_direct
do_blockdev_direct_IO
__blockdev_direct_IO
xfs_vm_direct_IO
generic_file_direct_write
xfs_file_dio_aio_writ
xfs_file_aio_write
do_sync_write
vfs_write
This was discovered on a filesystem with a log of only 10MB, and a
log stripe unit of 256k whih increased the base reservations by
512k. Hence a allocation transaction requires 1.2MB of log space to
be available instead of only 260k, and so greatly increased the
chance that there wouldn't be enough log space available for the
nested transaction to succeed. The key to reproducing it is this
mkfs command:
mkfs.xfs -f -d agcount=16,su=256k,sw=12 -l su=256k,size=2560b $SCRATCH_DEV
The test case was a 1000 fsstress processes running with random
freeze and unfreezes every few seconds. Thanks to Eryu Guan
