Some time ago, mkfs.xfs started picking the storage physical
sector size as the default filesystem "sector size" in order
to avoid RMW costs incurred by doing IOs at logical sector
size alignments.
However, this means that for a filesystem made with i.e.
a 4k sector size on an "advanced format" 4k/512 disk,
512-byte direct IOs are no longer allowed. This means
that XFS has essentially turned this AF drive into a hard
4K device, from the filesystem on up.
XFS's mkfs-specified "sector size" is really just controlling
the minimum size & alignment of filesystem metadata.
There is no real need to tightly couple XFS's minimal
metadata size to the minimum allowed direct IO size;
XFS can continue doing metadata in optimal sizes, but
still allow smaller DIOs for apps which issue them,
for whatever reason.
This patch adds a new field to the xfs_buftarg, so that
we now track 2 sizes:
1) The metadata sector size, which is the minimum unit and
alignment of IO which will be performed by metadata operations.
2) The device logical sector size
The first is used internally by the file system for metadata
alignment and IOs.
The second is used for the minimum allowed direct IO alignment.
This has passed xfstests on filesystems made with 4k sectors,
including when run under the patch I sent to ignore
XFS_IOC_DIOINFO, and issue 512 DIOs anyway. I also directly
tested end of block behavior on preallocated, sparse, and
existing files when we do a 512 IO into a 4k file on a
4k-sector filesystem, to be sure there were no unexpected
behaviors.

xfs_trans.h has a dependency on xfs_log.h for a couple of

anything about the log, but this dependency means that they have to
include xfs_log.h. Decouple the xfs_trans.h and xfs_log.h header
files and clean up the includes to be in dependency order.
In doing this, remove the direct include of xfs_trans_reserve.h from
xfs_trans.h so that we remove the dependency between xfs_trans.h and
xfs_mount.h. Hence the xfs_trans.h include can be moved to the

Hence we need to create a new header file that we centralise these

We don't do any data writeback from XFS any more - the VFS is
completely responsible for that, including for freeze. We can
replace the remaining caller with a VFS level function that
achieves the same thing, but without conflicting with current
writeback work.
This means we can remove the flush_work and xfs_flush_inodes() - the
VFS functionality completely replaces the internal flush queue for
doing this writeback work in a separate context to avoid stack
overruns.
This does have one complication - it cannot be called with page
locks held. Hence move the flushing of delalloc space when ENOSPC
occurs back up into xfs_file_aio_buffered_write when we don't hold
any locks that will stall writeback.
Unfortunately, writeback_inodes_sb_if_idle() is not sufficient to
trigger delalloc conversion fast enough to prevent spurious ENOSPC
whent here are hundreds of writers, thousands of small files and GBs
of free RAM. Hence we need to use sync_sb_inodes() to block callers
while we wait for writeback like the previous xfs_flush_inodes
implementation did.
That means we have to hold the s_umount lock here, but because this
call can nest inside i_mutex (the parent directory in the create
case, held by the VFS), we have to use down_read_trylock() to avoid
potential deadlocks. In practice, this trylock will succeed on
almost every attempt as unmount/remount type operations are
exceedingly rare.
Note: we always need to pass a count of zero to
generic_file_buffered_write() as the previously written byte count.
We only do this by accident before this patch by the virtue of ret
always being zero when there are no errors. Make this explicit
rather than needing to specifically zero ret in the ENOSPC retry
case.

indicate which changes need to be made. The normal version just does what it
has always done, updates the time and marks the inode dirty, and then
filesystems can choose to do something different.
I've gone through all of the users of file_update_time and made them check for

Instead of calling xfs_zero_eof with the ilock held only take it internally
for the minimall required critical section around xfs_bmapi_read. This
also requires changing the calling convention for xfs_zero_last_block
slightly. The actual zeroing operation is still serialized by the iolock,
which must be taken exclusively over the call to xfs_zero_eof.
We could in fact use a shared lock for the xfs_bmapi_read calls as long as

With all the size field updates out of the way xfs_file_aio_write can
be further simplified by pushing all iolock handling into
xfs_file_dio_aio_write and xfs_file_buffered_aio_write and using
the generic generic_write_sync helper for synchronous writes.

While xfs_iunlock is fine with 0 lockflags the calling conventions are much
cleaner if xfs_file_aio_write_checks never returns without the iolock held.

Now that we use the VFS i_size field throughout XFS there is no need for the
i_new_size field any more given that the VFS i_size field gets updated
in ->write_end before unlocking the page, and thus is always uptodate when
writeback could see a page. Removing i_new_size also has the advantage that
we will never have to trim back di_size during a failed buffered write,
given that it never gets updated past i_size.
Note that currently the generic direct I/O code only updates i_size after
calling our end_io handler, which requires a small workaround to make
sure di_size actually makes it to disk. I hope to fix this properly in
the generic code.
A downside is that we lose the support for parallel non-overlapping O_DIRECT
appending writes that recently was added. I don't think keeping the complex
and fragile i_new_size infrastructure for this is a good tradeoff - if we
really care about parallel appending writers we should investigate turning
the iolock into a range lock, which would also allow for parallel
non-overlapping buffered writers.

There is no fundamental need to keep an in-memory inode size copy in the XFS
inode. We already have the on-disk value in the dinode, and the separate
in-memory copy that we need for regular files only in the XFS inode.
Remove the xfs_inode i_size field and change the XFS_ISIZE macro to use the
VFS inode i_size field for regular files. Switch code that was directly
accessing the i_size field in the xfs_inode to XFS_ISIZE, or in cases where
we are limited to regular files direct access of the VFS inode i_size field.
This also allows dropping some fairly complicated code in the write path
which dealt with keeping the xfs_inode i_size uptodate with the VFS i_size
that is getting updated inside ->write_end.
Note that we do not bother resetting the VFS i_size when truncating a file
that gets freed to zero as there is no point in doing so because the VFS inode
is no longer in use at this point. Just relax the assert in xfs_ifree to
only check the on-disk size instead.

Directories are only updated transactionally, which means fsync only
needs to flush the log the inode is currently dirty, but not bother
with checking for dirty data, non-transactional updates, and most
importanly doesn't have to flush disk caches except as part of a
transaction commit.
While the first two optimizations can't easily be measured, the
latter actually makes a difference when doing lots of fsync that do
not actually have to commit the inode, e.g. because an earlier fsync
already pushed the log far enough.
The new xfs_dir_fsync is identical to xfs_nfs_commit_metadata except
for the prototype, but I'm not sure creating a common helper for the
two is worth it given how simple the functions are.

There is no reason to keep a reference to the inode even if we unlock
it during transaction commit because we never drop a reference between
the ijoin and commit. Also use this fact to merge xfs_trans_ijoin_ref
back into xfs_trans_ijoin - the third argument decides if an unlock
is needed now.
I'm actually starting to wonder if allowing inodes to be unlocked
at transaction commit really is worth the effort. The only real
benefit is that they can be unlocked earlier when commiting a
synchronous transactions, but that could be solved by doing the
log force manually after the unlock, too.

Only read the LSN we need to push to with the ilock held, and then release
it before we do the log force to improve concurrency.
This also removes the only direct caller of _xfs_trans_commit, thus
allowing it to be merged into the plain xfs_trans_commit again.

xfs_bmapi() currently handles both extent map reading and
allocation. As a result, the code is littered with "if (wr)"
branches to conditionally do allocation operations if required.
This makes the code much harder to follow and causes significant
indent issues with the code.
Given that read mapping is much simpler than allocation, we can
split out read mapping from xfs_bmapi() and reuse the logic that
we have already factored out do do all the hard work of handling the
extent map manipulations. The results in a much simpler function for
the common extent read operations, and will allow the allocation
code to be simplified in another commit.
Once xfs_bmapi_read() is implemented, convert all the callers of
xfs_bmapi() that are only reading extents to use the new function.

Currently a buffered reader or writer can add pages to the pagecache
while we are waiting for the iolock in xfs_file_dio_aio_write. Prevent
this by re-checking mapping->nrpages after we got the iolock, and if
nessecary upgrade the lock to exclusive mode. To simplify this a bit
only take the ilock inside of xfs_file_aio_write_checks.

We now have an i_dio_count filed and surrounding infrastructure to wait
for direct I/O completion instead of i_icount, and we have never needed
to iocount waits for buffered I/O given that we only set the page uptodate
after finishing all required work. Thus remove i_iocount, and replace
the actually needed waits with calls to inode_dio_wait.

For append write workloads, extending the file requires a certain
amount of exclusive locking to be done up front to ensure sanity in
things like ensuring that we've zeroed any allocated regions
between the old EOF and the start of the new IO.
For single threads, this typically isn't a problem, and for large
IOs we don't serialise enough for it to be a problem for two
threads on really fast block devices. However for smaller IO and
larger thread counts we have a problem.
Take 4 concurrent sequential, single block sized and aligned IOs.
After the first IO is submitted but before it completes, we end up
with this state:
IO 1 IO 2 IO 3 IO 4
+-------+-------+-------+-------+
^ ^
| |
| |
| |
| \- ip->i_new_size
\- ip->i_size
And the IO is done without exclusive locking because offset <=
ip->i_size. When we submit IO 2, we see offset > ip->i_size, and
grab the IO lock exclusive, because there is a chance we need to do
EOF zeroing. However, there is already an IO in progress that avoids
the need for IO zeroing because offset <= ip->i_new_size. hence we
could avoid holding the IO lock exlcusive for this. Hence after
submission of the second IO, we'd end up this state:
IO 1 IO 2 IO 3 IO 4
+-------+-------+-------+-------+
^ ^

| \- ip->i_new_size
\- ip->i_size
There is no need to grab the i_mutex of the IO lock in exclusive
mode if we don't need to invalidate the page cache. Taking these
locks on every direct IO effective serialises them as taking the IO
lock in exclusive mode has to wait for all shared holders to drop
the lock. That only happens when IO is complete, so effective it
prevents dispatch of concurrent direct IO writes to the same inode.
And so you can see that for the third concurrent IO, we'd avoid
exclusive locking for the same reason we avoided the exclusive lock
for the second IO.
Fixing this is a bit more complex than that, because we need to hold
a write-submission local value of ip->i_new_size to that clearing
the value is only done if no other thread has updated it before our
IO completes.....

Fix this by taking the IO lock shared to check the page cache state,
and only then drop it and take the IO lock exclusively if there is
work to be done. Hence for the normal direct IO case, no exclusive
locking will occur.
