Dave Chinner a862e0fdcb xfs: Don't directly reference m_perag in allocation code
Start abstracting the perag references so that the indexing of the
structures is not directly coded into all the places that uses the
perag structures. This will allow us to separate the use of the
perag structure and the way it is indexed and hence avoid the known
deadlocks related to growing a busy filesystem.

Christoph Hellwig 0b1b213fcf xfs: event tracing support
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:

Christoph Hellwig 7cc95a821d [XFS] Always use struct xfs_btree_block instead of short / longform
structures.

Always use the generic xfs_btree_block type instead of the short / long
structures. Add XFS_BTREE_SBLOCK_LEN / XFS_BTREE_LBLOCK_LEN defines for
the length of a short / long form block. The rationale for this is that we
will grow more btree block header variants to support CRCs and other RAS
information, and always accessing them through the same datatype with
unions for the short / long form pointers makes implementing this much
easier.

Christoph Hellwig 136341b41a [XFS] cleanup btree record / key / ptr addressing macros.
Replace the generic record / key / ptr addressing macros that use cpp
token pasting with simpler macros that do the job for just one given btree
type. The new macros lose the cur argument and thus can be used outside
the core btree code, but also gain an xfs_mount * argument to allow for
checking the CRC flag in the near future. Note that many of these macros
aren't actually used in the kernel code, but only in userspace (mostly in
xfs_repair).

Christoph Hellwig 60197e8df3 [XFS] Cleanup maxrecs calculation.
Clean up the way the maximum and minimum records for the btree blocks are
calculated. For the alloc and inobt btrees all the values are
pre-calculated in xfs_mount_common, and we switch the current loop around
the ugly generic macros that use cpp token pasting to generate type names
to two small helpers in normal C code. For the bmbt and bmdr trees these
helpers also exist, but can be called during runtime, too. Here we also
kill various macros dealing with them and inline the logic into the
get_minrecs / get_maxrecs / get_dmaxrecs methods in xfs_bmap_btree.c.

Note that all these new helpers take an xfs_mount * argument which will be
needed to determine the size of a btree block once we add support for
extended btree blocks with CRCs and other RAS information.

Christoph Hellwig d4b3a4b7dd [XFS] move xfs_bmbt_killroot to common code
xfs_bmbt_killroot is a mostly generic implementation of moving from a real
block based root to an inode based root. So move it to xfs_btree.c where
it can use all the nice infrastructure there and make it pointer size
agnostic

The new name for it is xfs_btree_kill_iroot, following the old naming but
making it clear we're dealing with the root in inode case here, and to
avoid confusion with xfs_btree_new_root which is used for the not inode
rooted case. I've also added a comment describing what it does and why
it's named the way it is.

Add new helpers in xfs_btree.c to find the record, key and block pointer
entries inside a btree block. To implement this genericly the
->get_maxrecs methods and two new xfs_btree_ops entries for the key and
record sizes are used. Also add a big comment describing how the
addressing inside a btree block works.

Note that these helpers are unused until users are introduced in the next
patches and this patch will thus cause some harmless compiler warnings.

Christoph Hellwig 561f7d1739 [XFS] split up xfs_btree_init_cursor
xfs_btree_init_cursor contains close to little shared code for the
different btrees and will get even more non-common code in the future.
Split it up into one routine per btree type.

Because xfs_btree_dup_cursor needs to call the init routine for a generic
btree cursor add a new btree operation vector that contains a dup_cursor
method that initializes a new cursor based on an existing one.

The btree operations vector is based on an idea and code from Dave Chinner
and will grow more entries later during this series.

David Chinner 92821e2ba4 [XFS] Lazy Superblock Counters
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....

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!
