Pull xfs fixes from Darrick Wong:
"This fixes multiple problems in the reserve pool sizing functions: an
incorrect free space calculation, a pointless infinite loop, and even
more braindamage that could result in the pool being overfilled. The
pile of patches from Dave fix myriad races and UAF bugs in the log
recovery code that much to our mutual surprise nobody's tripped over.
Dave also fixed a performance optimization that had turned into a
regression.
Dave Chinner is taking over as XFS maintainer starting Sunday and
lasting until 5.19-rc1 is tagged so that I can focus on starting a
massive design review for the (feature complete after five years)
online repair feature. From then on, he and I will be moving XFS to a
co-maintainership model by trading duties every other release.
NOTE: I hope very strongly that the other pieces of the (X)FS
ecosystem (fstests and xfsprogs) will make similar changes to spread
their maintenance load.
Summary:
- Fix an incorrect free space calculation in xfs_reserve_blocks that
could lead to a request for free blocks that will never succeed.
- Fix a hang in xfs_reserve_blocks caused by an infinite loop and the
incorrect free space calculation.
- Fix yet a third problem in xfs_reserve_blocks where multiple racing
threads can overfill the reserve pool.
- Fix an accounting error that lead to us reporting reserved space as

- Fix a race condition during abnormal fs shutdown that could cause
UAF problems when memory reclaim and log shutdown try to clean up

Jan Kara reported a performance regression in dbench that he
bisected down to commit bad77c375e ("xfs: CIL checkpoint
flushes caches unconditionally").
Whilst developing the journal flush/fua optimisations this cache was
part of, it appeared to made a significant difference to
performance. However, now that this patchset has settled and all the
correctness issues fixed, there does not appear to be any
significant performance benefit to asynchronous cache flushes.
In fact, the opposite is true on some storage types and workloads,
where additional cache flushes that can occur from fsync heavy
workloads have measurable and significant impact on overall
throughput.
Local dbench testing shows little difference on dbench runs with
sync vs async cache flushes on either fast or slow SSD storage, and
no difference in streaming concurrent async transaction workloads
like fs-mark.

Amean 64 1740.59 ( 0.00%) 1686.73 * 3.09%*
Performance and cache flush behaviour is restored to pre-regression
levels.
As such, we can now consider the async cache flush mechanism an
unnecessary exercise in premature optimisation and hence we can
now remove it and the infrastructure it requires completely.

The new checkpoint cache flush mechanism requires us to issue an
unconditional cache flush before we start a new checkpoint. We don't
want to block for this if we can help it, and we have a fair chunk
of CPU work to do between starting the checkpoint and issuing the
first journal IO.
Hence it makes sense to amortise the latency cost of the cache flush
by issuing it asynchronously and then waiting for it only when we
need to issue the first IO in the transaction.
To do this, we need async cache flush primitives to submit the cache
flush bio and to wait on it. The block layer has no such primitives
for filesystems, so roll our own for the moment.

The xfs_buf structure is basically used as a glorified container for
a memory allocation in the log recovery code. Replace it with a
call to kmem_alloc_large and a simple abstraction to read into or
