a167b17e89 [XFS] move xfssyncd code to xfs_sync.c
Move all the xfssyncd code to the new xfs_sync.c file. This places it
closer to the actual code that it interacts with, rather than just being
associated with high level VFS code.

9f8868ffb3 [XFS] streamline init/exit path
Currently the xfs module init/exit code is a mess. It's farmed out over a
lot of function with very little error checking. This patch makes sure we
propagate all initialization failures properly and clean up after them.
Various runtime initializations are replaced with compile-time
initializations where possible to make this easier. The exit path is
similarly consolidated.

There's now split out function to create/destroy the kmem zones and
alloc/free the trace buffers. I've also changed the ktrace allocations to
KM_MAYFAIL and handled errors resulting from that.

And yes, we really should replace the XFS_*_TRACE ifdefs with a single
XFS_TRACE..

5163f95a08 [XFS] Name operation vector for hash and compare
Adds two pieces of functionality for the basis of case-insensitive support
in XFS:

1. A comparison result enumerated type: xfs_dacmp. It represents an

exact match, case-insensitive match or no match at all. This patch

only implements different and exact results.

2. xfs_nameops vector for specifying how to perform the hash generation

of filenames and comparision methods. In this patch the hash vector

points to the existing xfs_da_hashname function and the comparison

method does a length compare, and if the same, does a memcmp and

return the xfs_dacmp result.

All filename functions that use the hash (create, lookup remove, rename,
etc) now use the xfs_nameops.hashname function and all directory lookup
functions also use the xfs_nameops.compname function.

The lookup functions also handle case-insensitive results even though the
default comparison function cannot return that. And important aspect of
the lookup functions is that an exact match always has precedence over a
case-insensitive. So while a case-insensitive match is found, we have to
keep looking just in case there is an exact match. In the meantime, the
info for the first case-insensitive match is retained if no exact match is
found.

19f354d4c3 [XFS] sort out opening and closing of the block devices
Currently closing the rt/log block device is done in the wrong spot, and
far too early. So revampt it:

- xfs_blkdev_put moved out of xfs_free_buftarg into the caller so that

it is done after tearing down the buftarg completely.

- call to xfs_unmountfs_close moved from xfs_mountfs into caller so

that it's done after tearing down the filesystem completely.

- xfs_unmountfs_close is renamed to xfs_close_devices and made static

in xfs_super.c

- opening of the block devices is split into a helper xfs_open_devices

that is symetric in use to xfs_close_devices

- xfs_unmountfs can now lose struct cred

- error handling around device opening sanitized in xfs_fs_fill_super

7c12f29650 [XFS] Fix up noattr2 so that it will properly update the versionnum and
features2 fields.

Previously, mounting with noattr2 failed to achieve anything because
although it cleared the attr2 mount flag, it would set it again as soon as
it processed the superblock fields. The fix now has an explicit noattr2
flag and uses it later to fix up the versionnum and features2 fields.

1bd960ee2b [XFS] If you mount an XFS filesystem with no mount options at all, then
the "ikeep" option is set rather than "noikeep".

This regression was introduced in 970451.

With no mount options specified, xfs_parseargs() does the following:

int ikeep = 0;

args->flags |= XFSMNT_BARRIER;

args->flags2 |= XFSMNT2_COMPAT_IOSIZE;

if (!options)

goto done;

It only sets the above two options by default and before, it also used to
set XFSMNT_IDELETE by default.

If options are specified, then

if (!(args->flags & XFSMNT_DMAPI) && !ikeep)

args->flags |= XFSMNT_IDELETE;

is executed later on which is skipped by the "goto done;" above.

The solution is to invert the logic.

249a8c1124 [XFS] Move AIL pushing into it's own thread
When many hundreds to thousands of threads all try to do simultaneous
transactions and the log is in a tail-pushing situation (i.e. full), we
can get multiple threads walking the AIL list and contending on the AIL
lock.

The AIL push is, in effect, a simple I/O dispatch algorithm complicated by
the ordering constraints placed on it by the transaction subsystem. It
really does not need multiple threads to push on it - even when only a
single CPU is pushing the AIL, it can push the I/O out far faster that
pretty much any disk subsystem can handle.

So, to avoid contention problems stemming from multiple list walkers, move
the list walk off into another thread and simply provide a "target" to
push to. When a thread requires a push, it sets the target and wakes the
push thread, then goes to sleep waiting for the required amount of space
to become available in the log.

This mechanism should also be a lot fairer under heavy load as the waiters
will queue in arrival order, rather than queuing in "who completed a push
first" order.

Also, by moving the pushing to a separate thread we can do more
effectively overload detection and prevention as we can keep context from
loop iteration to loop iteration. That is, we can push only part of the
list each loop and not have to loop back to the start of the list every
time we run. This should also help by reducing the number of items we try
to lock and/or push items that we cannot move.

Note that this patch is not intended to solve the inefficiencies in the
AIL structure and the associated issues with extremely large list
contents. That needs to be addresses separately; parallel access would
cause problems to any new structure as well, so I'm only aiming to isolate
the structure from unbounded parallelism here.

da353b0d64 [XFS] Radix tree based inode caching
One of the perpetual scaling problems XFS has is indexing it's incore
inodes. We currently uses hashes and the default hash sizes chosen can
only ever be a tradeoff between memory consumption and the maximum
realistic size of the cache.

As a result, anyone who has millions of inodes cached on a filesystem
needs to tunes the size of the cache via the ihashsize mount option to
allow decent scalability with inode cache operations.

A further problem is the separate inode cluster hash, whose size is based
on the ihashsize but is smaller, and so under certain conditions (sparse
cluster cache population) this can become a limitation long before the
inode hash is causing issues.

The following patchset removes the inode hash and cluster hash and
replaces them with radix trees to avoid the scalability limitations of the
hashes. It also reduces the size of the inodes by 3 pointers....

incore one. xfs_xlatesb is renamed to xfs_sb_to_disk and only handles the
incore -> disk conversion. A new helper xfs_sb_from_disk handles the other
direction and doesn't need the slightly hacky table-driven approach
because we only ever read the full sb from disk.

The handling of shared r/o filesystems has been buggy on little endian
system and fixing this required shuffling around of some code in that
area.

2a82b8be8a [XFS] Concurrent Multi-File Data Streams
In media spaces, video is often stored in a frame-per-file format. When
dealing with uncompressed realtime HD video streams in this format, it is
crucial that files do not get fragmented and that multiple files a placed
contiguously on disk.

When multiple streams are being ingested and played out at the same time,
it is critical that the filesystem does not cross the streams and
interleave them together as this creates seek and readahead cache miss
latency and prevents both ingest and playout from meeting frame rate
targets.

This patch set creates a "stream of files" concept into the allocator to
place all the data from a single stream contiguously on disk so that RAID
array readahead can be used effectively. Each additional stream gets
placed in different allocation groups within the filesystem, thereby
ensuring that we don't cross any streams. When an AG fills up, we select a
new AG for the stream that is not in use.

The core of the functionality is the stream tracking - each inode that we
create in a directory needs to be associated with the directories' stream.
Hence every time we create a file, we look up the directories' stream
object and associate the new file with that object.

Once we have a stream object for a file, we use the AG that the stream
object point to for allocations. If we can't allocate in that AG (e.g. it
is full) we move the entire stream to another AG. Other inodes in the same
stream are moved to the new AG on their next allocation (i.e. lazy
update).

Stream objects are kept in a cache and hold a reference on the inode.
Hence the inode cannot be reclaimed while there is an outstanding stream
reference. This means that on unlink we need to remove the stream
association and we also need to flush all the associations on certain
events that want to reclaim all unreferenced inodes (e.g. filesystem
freeze).

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....

The block reservation mechanism has been broken since the per-cpu
superblock counters were introduced. Make the block reservation code work
with the per-cpu counters by syncing the counters, snapshotting the amount
of available space and then doing a modifcation of the counter state
according to the result. Continue in a loop until we either have no space
available or we reserve some space.

20b642858b [XFS] Reduction global superblock lock contention near ENOSPC.
The existing per-cpu superblock counter code uses the global superblock
spin lock when we approach ENOSPC for global synchronisation. On larger
machines than this code was originally tested on this can still get
catastrophic spinlock contention due increasing rebalance frequency near
ENOSPC.

By introducing a sleeping lock that is used to serialise balances and
modifications near ENOSPC we prevent contention from needlessly from
wasting the CPU time of potentially hundreds of CPUs.

To reduce the number of balances occuring, we separate the need rebalance
case from the slow allocate case. Now, a counter running dry will trigger
a rebalance during which counters are disabled. Any thread that sees a
disabled counter enters a different path where it waits on the new mutex.
When it gets the new mutex, it checks if the counter is disabled. If the
counter is disabled, then we _know_ that we have to use the global counter
and lock and it is safe to do so immediately. Otherwise, we drop the mutex
and go back to trying the per-cpu counters which we know were re-enabled.
