The iop_unlock method is called when comitting or cancelling a
transaction. In the latter case, the transaction may or may not be
aborted. While there is no known problem with the current code in
practice, this implementation is limited in that any log item
implementation that might want to differentiate between a commit and a
cancellation must rely on the aborted state. The aborted bit is only
set when the cancelled transaction is dirty, however. This means that
there is no way to distinguish between a commit and a clean transaction
cancellation.
For example, intent log items currently rely on this distinction. The
log item is either transferred to the CIL on commit or released on
transaction cancel. There is currently no possibility for a clean intent
log item in a transaction, but if that state is ever introduced a cancel
of such a transaction will immediately result in memory leaks of the
associated log item(s). This is an interface deficiency and landmine.
To clean this up, replace the iop_unlock method with an iop_release
method that is specific to transaction cancel. The existing
iop_committing method occurs at the same time as iop_unlock in the
commit path and there is no need for two separate callbacks here.
Overload the iop_committing method with the current commit time
iop_unlock implementations to eliminate the need for the latter and
further simplify the interface.

The field is only used for asserts, and to track if we really need to do
realloc when growing the inode fork data. But the krealloc function
already performs this check internally, so there is no need to keep track
of the real allocation size.
This will free space in the inode fork for keeping a sequence counter of

The log item flags contain a field that is protected by the AIL
lock - the XFS_LI_IN_AIL flag. We use non-atomic RMW operations to
set and clear these flags, but most of the updates and checks are
not done with the AIL lock held and so are susceptible to update

Fix this by changing the log item flags to use atomic bitops rather

By splitting the b_fspriv field into two different fields (b_log_item
and b_li_list). It's possible to get rid of an old ABI workaround, by
using the new b_log_item field to store xfs_buf_log_item separated from
the log items attached to the buffer, which will be linked in the new
b_li_list field.
This way, there is no more need to reorder the log items list to place
the buf_log_item at the beginning of the list, simplifying a bit the
logic to handle buffer IO.
This also opens the possibility to change buffer's log items list into a
proper list_head.
b_log_item field is still defined as a void *, because it is still used
by the log buffers to store xlog_in_core structures, and there is no
need to add an extra field on xfs_buf just for xlog_in_core.

Replace the current linear list and the indirection array for the in-core
extent list with a b+tree to avoid the need for larger memory allocations
for the indirection array when lots of extents are present. The current
extent list implementations leads to heavy pressure on the memory
allocator when modifying files with a high extent count, and can lead
to high latencies because of that.
The replacement is a b+tree with a few quirks. The leaf nodes directly
store the extent record in two u64 values. The encoding is a little bit
different from the existing in-core extent records so that the start
offset and length which are required for lookups can be retreived with
simple mask operations. The inner nodes store a 64-bit key containing
the start offset in the first half of the node, and the pointers to the
next lower level in the second half. In either case we walk the node
from the beginninig to the end and do a linear search, as that is more
efficient for the low number of cache lines touched during a search
(2 for the inner nodes, 4 for the leaf nodes) than a binary search.
We store termination markers (zero length for the leaf nodes, an
otherwise impossible high bit for the inner nodes) to terminate the key
list / records instead of storing a count to use the available cache
lines as efficiently as possible.
One quirk of the algorithm is that while we normally split a node half and
half like usual btree implementations we just spill over entries added at
the very end of the list to a new node on its own. This means we get a
100% fill grade for the common cases of bulk insertion when reading an
inode into memory, and when only sequentially appending to a file. The
downside is a slightly higher chance of splits on the first random
insertions.
Both insert and removal manually recurse into the lower levels, but
the bulk deletion of the whole tree is still implemented as a recursive
function call, although one limited by the overall depth and with very
little stack usage in every iteration.
For the first few extents we dynamically grow the list from a single
extent to the next powers of two until we have a first full leaf block
and that building the actual tree.
The code started out based on the generic lib/btree.c code from Joern
Engel based on earlier work from Peter Zijlstra, but has since been
rewritten beyond recognition.

Prevent kmemcheck from throwing warnings about reading uninitialised
memory when formatting inodes into the incore log buffer. There are
several issues here - we don't always log all the fields in the
inode log format item, and we never log the inode the
di_next_unlinked field.
In the case of the inode log format item, this is exacerbated
by the old xfs_inode_log_format structure padding issue. Hence make
the padded, 64 bit aligned version of the structure the one we always
use for formatting the log and get rid of the 64 bit variant. This
means we'll always log the 64-bit version and so recovery only needs
to convert from the unpadded 32 bit version from older 32 bit
kernels.

When a buffer has been failed during writeback, the inode items into it
are kept flush locked, and are never resubmitted due the flush lock, so,
if any buffer fails to be written, the items in AIL are never written to
disk and never unlocked.
This causes unmount operation to hang due these items flush locked in AIL,
but this also causes the items in AIL to never be written back, even when
the IO device comes back to normal.
I've been testing this patch with a DM-thin device, creating a
filesystem larger than the real device.
When writing enough data to fill the DM-thin device, XFS receives ENOSPC
errors from the device, and keep spinning on xfsaild (when 'retry
forever' configuration is set).
At this point, the filesystem can not be unmounted because of the flush locked
items in AIL, but worse, the items in AIL are never retried at all
(once xfs_inode_item_push() will skip the items that are flush locked),
even if the underlying DM-thin device is expanded to the proper size.
This patch fixes both cases, retrying any item that has been failed
previously, using the infra-structure provided by the previous patch.

Create a per-inode extent size allocator hint for copy-on-write. This
hint is separate from the existing extent size hint so that CoW can
take advantage of the fragmentation-reducing properties of extent size
hints without disabling delalloc for regular writes.
The extent size hint that's fed to the allocator during a copy on
write operation is the greater of the cowextsize and regular extsize
hint.
During reflink, if we're sharing the entire source file to the entire
destination file and the destination file doesn't already have a
cowextsize hint, propagate the source file's cowextsize hint to the
destination file.

One of the problems we currently have with delayed logging is that
under serious memory pressure we can deadlock memory reclaim. THis
occurs when memory reclaim (such as run by kswapd) is reclaiming XFS
inodes and issues a log force to unpin inodes that are dirty in the
CIL.
The CIL is pushed, but this will only occur once it gets the CIL
context lock to ensure that all committing transactions are complete
and no new transactions start being committed to the CIL while the
push switches to a new context.
The deadlock occurs when the CIL context lock is held by a
committing process that is doing memory allocation for log vector
buffers, and that allocation is then blocked on memory reclaim
making progress. Memory reclaim, however, is blocked waiting for
a log force to make progress, and so we effectively deadlock at this
point.
To solve this problem, we have to move the CIL log vector buffer
allocation outside of the context lock so that memory reclaim can
always make progress when it needs to force the log. The problem
with doing this is that a CIL push can take place while we are
determining if we need to allocate a new log vector buffer for
an item and hence the current log vector may go away without
warning. That means we canot rely on the existing log vector being
present when we finally grab the context lock and so we must have a
replacement buffer ready to go at all times.
To ensure this, introduce a "shadow log vector" buffer that is
always guaranteed to be present when we gain the CIL context lock
and format the item. This shadow buffer may or may not be used
during the formatting, but if the log item does not have an existing
log vector buffer or that buffer is too small for the new
modifications, we swap it for the new shadow buffer and format
the modifications into that new log vector buffer.
The result of this is that for any object we modify more than once
in a given CIL checkpoint, we double the memory required
to track dirty regions in the log. For single modifications then
we consume the shadow log vectorwe allocate on commit, and that gets
consumed by the checkpoint. However, if we make multiple
modifications, then the second transaction commit will allocate a
shadow log vector and hence we will end up with double the memory
usage as only one of the log vectors is consumed by the CIL
checkpoint. The remaining shadow vector will be freed when th elog
item is freed.
This can probably be optimised in future - access to the shadow log
vector is serialised by the object lock (as opposited to the active
log vector, which is controlled by the CIL context lock) and so we
can probably free shadow log vector from some objects when the log
item is marked clean on removal from the AIL.

no longer log the struct xfs_icdinode directly, we don't need to
keep the timestamps in this structure. instead we can copy them
straight out of the VFS inode when formatting the inode log item or
the on-disk inode.
This reduces the struct xfs_inode in size by 24 bytes.

We currently carry around and log an entire inode core in the
struct xfs_inode. A lot of the information in the inode core is
duplicated in the VFS inode, but we cannot remove this duplication
of infomration because the inode core is logged directly in
xfs_inode_item_format().
Add a new function xfs_inode_item_format_core() that copies the
inode core data into a struct xfs_icdinode that is pulled directly
from the log vector buffer. This means we no longer directly
copy the inode core, but copy the structures one member at a time.
This will be slightly less efficient than copying, but will allow us
to remove duplicate and unnecessary items from the struct xfs_inode.
To enable us to do this, call the new structure a xfs_log_dinode,
so that we know it's different to the physical xfs_dinode and the
in-core xfs_icdinode.

xfs: timestamp updates cause excessive fdatasync log traffic
Sage Weil reported that a ceph test workload was writing to the
log on every fdatasync during an overwrite workload. Event tracing
showed that the only metadata modification being made was the
timestamp updates during the write(2) syscall, but fdatasync(2)
is supposed to ignore them. The key observation was that the
transactions in the log all looked like this:
INODE: #regs: 4 ino: 0x8b flags: 0x45 dsize: 32
And contained a flags field of 0x45 or 0x85, and had data and
attribute forks following the inode core. This means that the
timestamp updates were triggering dirty relogging of previously
logged parts of the inode that hadn't yet been flushed back to
disk.
There are two parts to this problem. The first is that XFS relogs
dirty regions in subsequent transactions, so it carries around the
fields that have been dirtied since the last time the inode was
written back to disk, not since the last time the inode was forced
into the log.
The second part is that on v5 filesystems, the inode change count
update during inode dirtying also sets the XFS_ILOG_CORE flag, so
on v5 filesystems this makes a timestamp update dirty the entire
inode.
As a result when fdatasync is run, it looks at the dirty fields in
the inode, and sees more than just the timestamp flag, even though
the only metadata change since the last fdatasync was just the
timestamps. Hence we force the log on every subsequent fdatasync
even though it is not needed.
To fix this, add a new field to the inode log item that tracks
changes since the last time fsync/fdatasync forced the log to flush
the changes to the journal. This flag is updated when we dirty the
inode, but we do it before updating the change count so it does not
carry the "core dirty" flag from timestamp updates. The fields are
zeroed when the inode is marked clean (due to writeback/freeing) or
when an fsync/datasync forces the log. Hence if we only dirty the
timestamps on the inode between fsync/fdatasync calls, the fdatasync
will not trigger another log force.

Commit 3013683 ("xfs: remove all the inodes on a buffer from the AIL
in bulk") made the xfs inode flush callback more efficient by
combining all the inode writes on the buffer and the deletions of
the inode log item from AIL.
The initial loop in this patch should be looping through all
the log items on the buffer to see which items have
xfs_iflush_done as their callback function. But currently,
only the log item passed to the function has its callback
compared to xfs_iflush_done. If the log item pointer passed to
the function does have the xfs_iflush_done callback function,
then all the log items on the buffer are removed from the
li_bio_list on the buffer b_fspriv and could be removed from
the AIL even though they may have not been written yet.
This problem is masked by the fact that currently all inodes on a
buffer will have the same calback function - either xfs_iflush_done
or xfs_istale_done - and hence the bug cannot manifest in any way.
Still, we need to remove the landmine so that if we add new
callbacks in future this doesn't cause us problems.

Queue delwri buffers on a local on-stack list instead of a per-buftarg one,
and write back the buffers per-process instead of by waking up xfsbufd.
This is now easily doable given that we have very few places left that write
delwri buffers:
- log recovery:
Only done at mount time, and already forcing out the buffers
synchronously using xfs_flush_buftarg
- quotacheck:
Same story.
- dquot reclaim:
Writes out dirty dquots on the LRU under memory pressure. We might
want to look into doing more of this via xfsaild, but it's already
more optimal than the synchronous inode reclaim that writes each
buffer synchronously.
- xfsaild:
This is the main beneficiary of the change. By keeping a local list
of buffers to write we reduce latency of writing out buffers, and
more importably we can remove all the delwri list promotions which
were hitting the buffer cache hard under sustained metadata loads.
The implementation is very straight forward - xfs_buf_delwri_queue now gets
a new list_head pointer that it adds the delwri buffers to, and all callers
need to eventually submit the list using xfs_buf_delwi_submit or
xfs_buf_delwi_submit_nowait. Buffers that already are on a delwri list are
skipped in xfs_buf_delwri_queue, assuming they already are on another delwri
list. The biggest change to pass down the buffer list was done to the AIL
pushing. Now that we operate on buffers the trylock, push and pushbuf log
item methods are merged into a single push routine, which tries to lock the
item, and if possible add the buffer that needs writeback to the buffer list.
This leads to much simpler code than the previous split but requires the
individual IOP_PUSH instances to unlock and reacquire the AIL around calls
to blocking routines.
Given that xfsailds now also handle writing out buffers, the conditions for
log forcing and the sleep times needed some small changes. The most
important one is that we consider an AIL busy as long we still have buffers
to push, and the other one is that we do increment the pushed LSN for
buffers that are under flushing at this moment, but still count them towards
the stuck items for restart purposes. Without this we could hammer on stuck
items without ever forcing the log and not make progress under heavy random
delete workloads on fast flash storage devices.

- improved comments for XBF_DELWRI_Q handling
- fix XBF_ASYNC handling in queue submission (test 106 failure)

When inodes are marked stale in a transaction, they are treated
specially when the inode log item is being inserted into the AIL.
It tries to avoid moving the log item forward in the AIL due to a
race condition with the writing the underlying buffer back to disk.
The was "fixed" in commit de25c18 ("xfs: avoid moving stale inodes
in the AIL").
To avoid moving the item forward, we return a LSN smaller than the
commit_lsn of the completing transaction, thereby trying to trick
the commit code into not moving the inode forward at all. I'm not
sure this ever worked as intended - it assumes the inode is already
in the AIL, but I don't think the returned LSN would have been small
enough to prevent moving the inode. It appears that the reason it
worked is that the lower LSN of the inodes meant they were inserted
into the AIL and flushed before the inode buffer (which was moved to
the commit_lsn of the transaction).
The big problem is that with delayed logging, the returning of the
different LSN means insertion takes the slow, non-bulk path. Worse
yet is that insertion is to a position -before- the commit_lsn so it
is doing a AIL traversal on every insertion, and has to walk over
all the items that have already been inserted into the AIL. It's
expensive.
To compound the matter further, with delayed logging inodes are
likely to go from clean to stale in a single checkpoint, which means
they aren't even in the AIL at all when we come across them at AIL
insertion time. Hence these were all getting inserted into the AIL
when they simply do not need to be as inodes marked XFS_ISTALE are
never written back.
Transactional/recovery integrity is maintained in this case by the
other items in the unlink transaction that were modified (e.g. the
AGI btree blocks) and committed in the same checkpoint.
So to fix this, simply unpin the stale inodes directly in
xfs_inode_item_committed() and return -1 to indicate that the AIL
insertion code does not need to do any further processing of these
inodes.

When formatting an inode item, we have to allocate a separate buffer
to hold extents when there are delayed allocation extents on the
inode and it is in extent format. The allocation size is derived
from the in-core data fork representation, which accounts for
delayed allocation extents, while the on-disk representation does
not contain any delalloc extents.
As a result of this mismatch, the allocated buffer can be far larger
than needed to hold the real extent list which, due to the fact the
inode is in extent format, is limited to the size of the literal
area of the inode. However, we can have thousands of delalloc
extents, resulting in an allocation size orders of magnitude larger
than is needed to hold all the real extents.
Fix this by limiting the size of the buffer being allocated to the
size of the literal area of the inodes in the filesystem (i.e. the
maximum size an inode fork can grow to).

There is an ABBA deadlock between synchronous inode flushing in
xfs_reclaim_inode and xfs_icluster_free. xfs_icluster_free locks the
buffer, then takes inode ilocks, whilst synchronous reclaim takes
the ilock followed by the buffer lock in xfs_iflush().
To avoid this deadlock, separate the inode cluster buffer locking
semantics from the synchronous inode flush semantics, allowing
callers to attempt to lock the buffer but still issue synchronous IO
if it can get the buffer. This requires xfs_iflush() calls that
currently use non-blocking semantics to pass SYNC_TRYLOCK rather
than 0 as the flags parameter.
This allows xfs_reclaim_inode to avoid the deadlock on the buffer
lock and detect the failure so that it can drop the inode ilock and
restart the reclaim attempt on the inode. This allows
xfs_ifree_cluster to obtain the inode lock, mark the inode stale and
release it and hence defuse the deadlock situation. It also has the
pleasant side effect of avoiding IO in xfs_reclaim_inode when it
tries to next reclaim the inode as it is now marked stale.

When inode buffer IO completes, usually all of the inodes are removed from the
AIL. This involves processing them one at a time and taking the AIL lock once
for every inode. When all CPUs are processing inode IO completions, this causes
excessive amount sof contention on the AIL lock.
Instead, change the way we process inode IO completion in the buffer
IO done callback. Allow the inode IO done callback to walk the list
of IO done callbacks and pull all the inodes off the buffer in one
go and then process them as a batch.
Once all the inodes for removal are collected, take the AIL lock
once and do a bulk removal operation to minimise traffic on the AIL
lock.

When an inode has been marked stale because the cluster is being
freed, we don't want to (re-)insert this inode into the AIL. There
is a race condition where the cluster buffer may be unpinned before
the inode is inserted into the AIL during transaction committed
processing. If the buffer is unpinned before the inode item has been
committed and inserted, then it is possible for the buffer to be
released and hence processthe stale inode callbacks before the inode
is inserted into the AIL.
In this case, we then insert a clean, stale inode into the AIL which
will never get removed by an IO completion. It will, however, get
reclaimed and that triggers an assert in xfs_inode_free()
complaining about freeing an inode still in the AIL.
This race can be avoided by not moving stale inodes forward in the AIL
during transaction commit completion processing. This closes the
race condition by ensuring we never insert clean stale inodes into
the AIL. It is safe to do this because a dirty stale inode, by
definition, must already be in the AIL.

Under heavy multi-way parallel create workloads, the VFS struggles
to write back all the inodes that have been changed in age order.
The bdi flusher thread becomes CPU bound, spending 85% of it's time
in the VFS code, mostly traversing the superblock dirty inode list
to separate dirty inodes old enough to flush.
We already keep an index of all metadata changes in age order - in
the AIL - and continued log pressure will do age ordered writeback
without any extra overhead at all. If there is no pressure on the
log, the xfssyncd will periodically write back metadata in ascending
disk address offset order so will be very efficient.
Hence we can stop marking VFS inodes dirty during transaction commit
or when changing timestamps during transactions. This will keep the
inodes in the superblock dirty list to those containing data or
unlogged metadata changes.
However, the timstamp changes are slightly more complex than this -
there are a couple of places that do unlogged updates of the
timestamps, and the VFS need to be informed of these. Hence add a
new function xfs_trans_ichgtime() for transactional changes,
and leave xfs_ichgtime() for the non-transactional changes.

All buffers logged into the AIL are marked as delayed write.
When the AIL needs to push the buffer out, it issues an async write of the
buffer. This means that IO patterns are dependent on the order of
buffers in the AIL.
Instead of flushing the buffer, promote the buffer in the delayed
write list so that the next time the xfsbufd is run the buffer will
be flushed by the xfsbufd. Return the state to the xfsaild that the
buffer was promoted so that the xfsaild knows that it needs to cause
the xfsbufd to run to flush the buffers that were promoted.
Using the xfsbufd for issuing the IO allows us to dispatch all
buffer IO from the one queue. This means that we can make much more
enlightened decisions on what order to flush buffers to disk as
we don't have multiple places issuing IO. Optimisations to xfsbufd
will be in a future patch.

We currently do background inode flush asynchronously, resulting in
inodes being written in whatever order the background writeback
issues them. Not only that, there are also blocking and non-blocking
asynchronous inode flushes, depending on where the flush comes from.
This patch completely removes asynchronous inode writeback. It
removes all the strange writeback modes and replaces them with
either a synchronous flush or a non-blocking delayed write flush.
That is, inode flushes will only issue IO directly if they are
synchronous, and background flushing may do nothing if the operation
would block (e.g. on a pinned inode or buffer lock).
Delayed write flushes will now result in the inode buffer sitting in
the delwri queue of the buffer cache to be flushed by either an AIL
push or by the xfsbufd timing out the buffer. This will allow
accumulation of dirty inode buffers in memory and allow optimisation
of inode cluster writeback at the xfsbufd level where we have much
greater queue depths than the block layer elevators. We will also
get adjacent inode cluster buffer IO merging for free when a later
patch in the series allows sorting of the delayed write buffers
before dispatch.
This effectively means that any inode that is written back by
background writeback will be seen as flush locked during AIL
pushing, and will result in the buffers being pushed from there.
This writeback path is currently non-optimal, but the next patch
in the series will fix that problem.
A side effect of this delayed write mechanism is that background
inode reclaim will no longer directly flush inodes, nor can it wait
on the flush lock. The result is that inode reclaim must leave the
inode in the reclaimable state until it is clean. Hence attempts to
reclaim a dirty inode in the background will simply skip the inode
until it is clean and this allows other mechanisms (i.e. xfsbufd) to
do more optimal writeback of the dirty buffers. As a result, the
inode reclaim code has been rewritten so that it no longer relies on
the ambiguous return values of xfs_iflush() to determine whether it
is safe to reclaim an inode.
Portions of this patch are derived from patches by Christoph
Hellwig.

- cleanup reclaim code as suggested by Christoph
- log background reclaim inode flush errors
- just pass sync flags to xfs_iflush
