Dave Chinner 7fd36c4418 xfs: split out transaction reservation code
The transaction reservation size calculations is used by both kernel
and userspace, but most of the transaction code in xfs_trans.c is
kernel specific. Split all the transaction reservation code out into
it's own files to make sharing with userspace simpler. This just
leaves kernel-only definitions in xfs_trans.h, so it doesn't need to
be shared with userspace anymore, either.

Dave Chinner 7bc0dc271e xfs: rework remote attr CRCs
Note: this changes the on-disk remote attribute format. I assert
that this is OK to do as CRCs are marked experimental and the first
kernel it is included in has not yet reached release yet. Further,
the userspace utilities are still evolving and so anyone using this
stuff right now is a developer or tester using volatile filesystems
for testing this feature. Hence changing the format right now to
save longer term pain is the right thing to do.

The fundamental change is to move from a header per extent in the
attribute to a header per filesytem block in the attribute. This
means there are more header blocks and the parsing of the attribute
data is slightly more complex, but it has the advantage that we
always know the size of the attribute on disk based on the length of
the data it contains.

This is where the header-per-extent method has problems. We don't
know the size of the attribute on disk without first knowing how
many extents are used to hold it. And we can't tell from a
mapping lookup, either, because remote attributes can be allocated
contiguously with other attribute blocks and so there is no obvious
way of determining the actual size of the atribute on disk short of
walking and mapping buffers.

The problem with this approach is that if we map a buffer
incorrectly (e.g. we make the last buffer for the attribute data too
long), we then get buffer cache lookup failure when we map it
correctly. i.e. we get a size mismatch on lookup. This is not
necessarily fatal, but it's a cache coherency problem that can lead
to returning the wrong data to userspace or writing the wrong data
to disk. And debug kernels will assert fail if this occurs.

I found lots of niggly little problems trying to fix this issue on a
4k block size filesystem, finally getting it to pass with lots of
fixes. The thing is, 1024 byte filesystems still failed, and it was
getting really complex handling all the corner cases that were
showing up. And there were clearly more that I hadn't found yet.

It is complex, fragile code, and if we don't fix it now, it will be
complex, fragile code forever more.

Hence the simple fix is to add a header to each filesystem block.
This gives us the same relationship between the attribute data
length and the number of blocks on disk as we have without CRCs -
it's a linear mapping and doesn't require us to guess anything. It
is simple to implement, too - the remote block count calculated at
lookup time can be used by the remote attribute set/get/remove code
without modification for both CRC and non-CRC filesystems. The world
becomes sane again.

Because the copy-in and copy-out now need to iterate over each
filesystem block, I moved them into helper functions so we separate
the block mapping and buffer manupulations from the attribute data
and CRC header manipulations. The code becomes much clearer as a
result, and it is a lot easier to understand and debug. It also
appears to be much more robust - once it worked on 4k block size
filesystems, it has worked without failure on 1k block size
filesystems, too.

Dave Chinner c163f9a176 xfs: ensure we capture IO errors correctly
Failed buffer readahead can leave the buffer in the cache marked
with an error. Most callers that then issue a subsequent read on the
buffer do not zero the b_error field out, and so we may incorectly
detect an error during IO completion due to the stale error value
left on the buffer.

Avoid this problem by zeroing the error before IO submission. This
ensures that the only IO errors that are detected those captured
from are those captured from bio submission or completion.

Brian Foster fa5566e4ff xfs: remove log force from xfs_buf_trylock()
The trylock log force invoked via xfs_buf_item_push() can attempt
to acquire xa_lock, thus leading to a recursion bug when called
with xa_lock held.

This log force was originally added to xfs_buf_trylock() to address
xfsaild stalls due to pinned and stale buffers. Since the addition
of this behavior, the log item pushing code had been reworked to
detect and track pinned items to inform xfsaild to issue a log
force itself when necessary. As such, the log force on trylock
failure is redundant and safe to remove.

Dave Chinner 3b19034d4f xfs: fix shutdown hang on invalid inode during create
When the new inode verify in xfs_iread() fails, the create
transaction is aborted and a shutdown occurs. The subsequent unmount
then hangs in xfs_wait_buftarg() on a buffer that has an elevated
hold count. Debug showed that it was an AGI buffer getting stuck:

[   22.576147] XFS (vdb): buffer 0x2/0x1, hold 0x2 stuck
[   22.976213] XFS (vdb): buffer 0x2/0x1, hold 0x2 stuck

And that is the AGI buffer from cold cache read into memory to
transaction abort. You can see at transaction abort the bli is dirty
and only has a single reference. The item is not pinned, and it's
not in the AIL. Hence the only reference to it is this transaction.

The problem is that the xfs_buf_item_unlock() call is dropping the
last reference to the xfs_buf_log_item attached to the buffer (which
holds a reference to the buffer), but it is not freeing the
xfs_buf_log_item. Hence nothing will ever release the buffer, and
the unmount hangs waiting for this reference to go away.

The fix is simple - xfs_buf_item_unlock needs to detect the last
reference going away in this case and free the xfs_buf_log_item to
release the reference it holds on the buffer.

Dave Chinner 10616b806d xfs: fix _xfs_buf_find oops on blocks beyond the filesystem end
When _xfs_buf_find is passed an out of range address, it will fail
to find a relevant struct xfs_perag and oops with a null
dereference. This can happen when trying to walk a filesystem with a
metadata inode that has a partially corrupted extent map (i.e. the
block number returned is corrupt, but is otherwise intact) and we
try to read from the corrupted block address.

In this case, just fail the lookup. If it is readahead being issued,
it will simply not be done, but if it is real read that fails we
will get an error being reported.  Ideally this case should result
in an EFSCORRUPTED error being reported, but we cannot return an
error through xfs_buf_read() or xfs_buf_get() so this lookup failure
may result in ENOMEM or EIO errors being reported instead.

Mark Tinguely f4b42421d8 xfs: use b_maps[] for discontiguous buffers
Commits starting at 77c1a08 introduced a multiple segment support
to xfs_buf. xfs_trans_buf_item_match() could not find a multi-segment
buffer in the transaction because it was looking at the single segment
block number rather than the multi-segment b_maps[0].bm.bn. This
results on a recursive buffer lock that can never be satisfied.

This patch:
 1) Changed the remaining b_map accesses to be b_maps[0] accesses.
 2) Renames the single segment b_map structure to __b_map to avoid
    future confusion.

Dave Chinner 1813dd6405 xfs: convert buffer verifiers to an ops structure.
To separate the verifiers from iodone functions and associate read
and write verifiers at the same time, introduce a buffer verifier
operations structure to the xfs_buf.

This avoids the need for assigning the write verifier, clearing the
iodone function and re-running ioend processing in the read
verifier, and gets rid of the nasty "b_pre_io" name for the write
verifier function pointer. If we ever need to, it will also be
easier to add further content specific callbacks to a buffer with an
ops structure in place.

We also avoid needing to export verifier functions, instead we
can simply export the ops structures for those that are needed
outside the function they are defined in.

This patch also fixes a directory block readahead verifier issue
it exposed.

This patch also adds ops callbacks to the inode/alloc btree blocks
initialised by growfs. These will need more work before they will
work with CRCs.

Dave Chinner eab4e63368 xfs: uncached buffer reads need to return an error
With verification being done as an IO completion callback, different
errors can be returned from a read. Uncached reads only return a
buffer or NULL on failure, which means the verification error cannot
be returned to the caller.

Split the error handling for these reads into two - a failure to get
a buffer will still return NULL, but a read error will return a
referenced buffer with b_error set rather than NULL. The caller is
responsible for checking the error state of the buffer returned.

Dave Chinner c3f8fc73ac xfs: make buffer read verication an IO completion function
Add a verifier function callback capability to the buffer read
interfaces.  This will be used by the callers to supply a function
that verifies the contents of the buffer when it is read from disk.
This patch does not provide callback functions, but simply modifies
the interfaces to allow them to be called.

The reason for adding this to the read interfaces is that it is very
difficult to tell fom the outside is a buffer was just read from
disk or whether we just pulled it out of cache. Supplying a callbck
allows the buffer cache to use it's internal knowledge of the buffer
to execute it only when the buffer is read from disk.

It is intended that the verifier functions will mark the buffer with
an EFSCORRUPTED error when verification fails. This allows the
reading context to distinguish a verification error from an IO
error, and potentially take further actions on the buffer (e.g.
attempt repair) based on the error reported.

Dave Chinner 37eb17e604 xfs: drop buffer io reference when a bad bio is built
Error handling in xfs_buf_ioapply_map() does not handle IO reference
counts correctly. We increment the b_io_remaining count before
building the bio, but then fail to decrement it in the failure case.
This leads to the buffer never running IO completion and releasing
the reference that the IO holds, so at unmount we can leak the
buffer. This leak is captured by this assert failure during unmount:

XFS: Assertion failed: atomic_read(&pag->pag_ref) == 0, file: fs/xfs/xfs_mount.c, line: 273

This is not a new bug - the b_io_remaining accounting has had this
problem for a long, long time - it's just very hard to get a
zero length bio being built by this code...

Further, the buffer IO error can be overwritten on a multi-segment
buffer by subsequent bio completions for partial sections of the
buffer. Hence we should only set the buffer error status if the
buffer is not already carrying an error status. This ensures that a
partial IO error on a multi-segment buffer will not be lost. This
part of the problem is a regression, however.

Carlos Maiolino 6fb8a90aa3 xfs: fix race while discarding buffers [V4]
While xfs_buftarg_shrink() is freeing buffers from the dispose list (filled with
buffers from lru list), there is a possibility to have xfs_buf_stale() racing
with it, and removing buffers from dispose list before xfs_buftarg_shrink() does
it.

This happens because xfs_buftarg_shrink() handle the dispose list without
locking and the test condition in xfs_buf_stale() checks for the buffer being in
*any* list:

if (!list_empty(&bp->b_lru))

If the buffer happens to be on dispose list, this causes the buffer counter of
lru list (btp->bt_lru_nr) to be decremented twice (once in xfs_buftarg_shrink()
and another in xfs_buf_stale()) causing a wrong account usage of the lru list.

This may cause xfs_buftarg_shrink() to return a wrong value to the memory
shrinker shrink_slab(), and such account error may also cause an underflowed
value to be returned; since the counter is lower than the current number of
items in the lru list, a decrement may happen when the counter is 0, causing
an underflow on the counter.

The fix uses a new flag field (and a new buffer flag) to serialize buffer
handling during the shrink process. The new flag field has been designed to use
btp->bt_lru_lock/unlock instead of xfs_buf_lock/unlock mechanism.

dchinner, sandeen, aquini and aris also deserve credits for this.

Dave Chinner cbb7baab28 xfs: separate buffer indexing from block map
To support discontiguous buffers in the buffer cache, we need to
separate the cache index variables from the I/O map. While this is
currently a 1:1 mapping, discontiguous buffer support will break
this relationship.

However, for caching purposes, we can still treat them the same as a
contiguous buffer - the block number of the first block and the
length of the buffer - as that is still a unique representation.
Also, the only way we will ever access the discontiguous regions of
buffers is via bulding the complete buffer in the first place, so
using the initial block number and entire buffer length is a sane
way to index the buffers.

Add a block mapping vector construct to the xfs_buf and use it in

Jan Kara bcf62ab64d xfs: Fix overallocation in xfs_buf_allocate_memory()
Commit de1cbee which removed b_file_offset in favor of b_bn introduced a bug
causing xfs_buf_allocate_memory() to overestimate the number of necessary
pages. The problem is that xfs_buf_alloc() sets b_bn to -1 and thus effectively
every buffer is straddling a page boundary which causes
xfs_buf_allocate_memory() to allocate two pages and use vmalloc() for access
which is unnecessary.

Dave says xfs_buf_alloc() doesn't need to set b_bn to -1 anymore since the
buffer is inserted into the cache only after being fully initialized now.
So just make xfs_buf_alloc() fill in proper block number from the beginning.

Dave Chinner aa5c158ec9 xfs: kill XBF_DONTBLOCK
Just about all callers of xfs_buf_read() and xfs_buf_get() use XBF_DONTBLOCK.
This is used to make memory allocation use GFP_NOFS rather than GFP_KERNEL to
avoid recursion through memory reclaim back into the filesystem.

All the blocking get calls in growfs occur inside a transaction, even though
they are no part of the transaction, so all allocation will be GFP_NOFS due to
the task flag PF_TRANS being set. The blocking read calls occur during log
recovery, so they will probably be unaffected by converting to GFP_NOFS
allocations.

Hence make XBF_DONTBLOCK behaviour always occur for buffers and kill the flag.

Dave Chinner aa0e8833b0 xfs: use blocks for storing the desired IO size
Now that we pass block counts everywhere, and index buffers by block
number and length in units of blocks, convert the desired IO size
into block counts rather than bytes. Convert the code to use block
counts, and those that need byte counts get converted at the time of
use.

Rename the b_desired_count variable to something closer to it's
purpose - b_io_length - as it is only used to specify the length of
an IO for a subset of the buffer.  The only time this is used is for
log IO - both writing iclogs and during log recovery. In all other
cases, the b_io_length matches b_length, and hence a lot of code
confuses the two. e.g. the buf item code uses the io count
exclusively when it should be using the buffer length. Fix these
apprpriately as they are found.

Also, remove the XFS_BUF_{SET_}COUNT() macros that are just wrappers
around the desired IO length. They only serve to make the code
shouty loud, don't actually add any real value, and are often used

Dave Chinner ead360c50d xfs: fix incorrect b_offset initialisation
Because we no longer use the page cache for buffering, there is no
direct block number to page offset relationship anymore.
xfs_buf_get_pages is still setting up b_offset as if there was some
relationship, and that is leading to incorrectly setting up
*uncached* buffers that don't overwrite b_offset once they've had
pages allocated.

For cached buffers, the first block of the buffer is always at offset
zero into the allocated memory. This is true for sub-page sized
buffers, as well as for multiple-page buffers.

For uncached buffers, b_offset is only non-zero when we are
associating specific memory to the buffers, and that is set
correctly by the code setting up the buffer.

Hence remove the setting of b_offset in xfs_buf_get_pages, because
it is now always the wrong thing to do.

Dave Chinner 0e95f19ad9 xfs: check for buffer errors before waiting

an IO error, it will wait forever for an Io that does not exist.
This is hndled in xfs_buf_read, but there is other code that calls
xfs_buf_iowait directly that doesn't.

Rather than make the call sites have to handle checking for dispatch
errors and then checking for completion errors, make
xfs_buf_iowait() check for dispatch errors on the buffer before
waiting. This means we handle both dispatch and completion errors
with one set of error handling at the caller sites.

Dave Chinner fe2429b096 xfs: fix buffer lookup race on allocation failure
When memory allocation fails to add the page array or tht epages to
a buffer during xfs_buf_get(), the buffer is left in the cache in a
partially initialised state. There is enough state left for the next
lookup on that buffer to find the buffer, and for the buffer to then
be used without finishing the initialisation.  As a result, when an
attempt to do IO on the buffer occurs, it fails with EIO because
there are no pages attached to the buffer.

We cannot remove the buffer from the cache immediately and free it,
because there may already be a racing lookup that is blocked on the
buffer lock. Hence the moment we unlock the buffer to then free it,
the other user is woken and we have a use-after-free situation.

To avoid this race condition altogether, allocate the pages for the
buffer before we insert it into the cache.  This then means that we
don't have an allocation  failure case to deal after the buffer is
already present in the cache, and hence avoid the problem
altogether.  In most cases we won't have racing inserts for the same
buffer, and so won't increase the memory pressure allocation before
insertion may entail.

Christoph Hellwig 43ff2122e6 xfs: on-stack delayed write buffer lists
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.

[ Dave Chinner:
	- rebase on previous patches.
	- improved comments for XBF_DELWRI_Q handling
	- fix XBF_ASYNC handling in queue submission (test 106 failure)
	- rename delwri submit function buffer list parameters for clarity
	- xfs_efd_item_push() should return XFS_ITEM_PINNED ]

Further, there is a fair bit of work involved in initialising a new
buffer once a cache miss has occurred and we currently do that under
the rbtree spinlock. That increases spinlock hold time on what are
heavily used trees.

To fix this, remove the initialisation of the buffer from
_xfs_buf_find() and only allocate the new buffer once we've had a
cache miss. Initialise the buffer immediately after allocating it in
xfs_buf_get, too, so that is it ready for insert if we get another
cache miss after allocation. This minimises lock hold time and
avoids unnecessary allocator churn. The resulting profiles look
like:

Christoph Hellwig c2b006c1da xfs: let xfs_bwrite callers handle the xfs_buf_relse
Remove the xfs_buf_relse from xfs_bwrite and let the caller handle it to
mirror the delwri and read paths.

Also remove the mount pointer passed to xfs_bwrite, which is superflous now
that we have a mount pointer in the buftarg.

Christoph Hellwig 61551f1ee5 xfs: call xfs_buf_delwri_queue directly
Unify the ways we add buffers to the delwri queue by always calling
xfs_buf_delwri_queue directly.  The xfs_bdwrite functions is removed and
opencoded in its callers, and the two places setting XBF_DELWRI while a
buffer is locked and expecting xfs_buf_unlock to pick it up are converted
to call xfs_buf_delwri_queue directly, too.  Also replace the
XFS_BUF_UNDELAYWRITE macro with direct calls to xfs_buf_delwri_dequeue
to make the explicit queuing/dequeuing more obvious.

Christoph Hellwig 5a8ee6bafd xfs: move more delwri setup into xfs_buf_delwri_queue
Do not transfer a reference held by the caller to the buffer on the list,
or decrement it in xfs_buf_delwri_queue, but instead grab a new reference
if needed, and let the caller drop its own reference.  Also move setting
of the XBF_DELWRI and XBF_ASYNC flags into xfs_buf_delwri_queue, and
only do it if needed.  Note that for now xfs_buf_unlock already has
XBF_DELWRI, but that will change in the following patches.

We can just unlock the buffer in the caller, and the decrement of b_hold
would also be needed in the !unlock, we just never hit that case currently
given that the caller handles that case.

Christoph Hellwig 375ec69d2e xfs: remove delwri buffer handling from xfs_buf_iorequest
We cannot ever reach xfs_buf_iorequest for a buffer with XBF_DELWRI set,
given that all write handlers make sure that the buffer is remove from
the delwri queue before, and we never do reads with the XBF_DELWRI flag
set (which the code would not handle correctly anyway).
