6447c36209 xfs: remove m_litino
With the upcoming v3 inodes the inode data/attr area size needs to be
calculated for each specific inode, so we can't cache it in the superblock
anymore.

a19d9f887d xfs: kill ino64 mount option
The ino64 mount option adds a fixed offset to 32bit inode numbers
to bring them into the 64bit range.  There's no need for this kind
of debug tool given that it's easy to produce real 64bit inode numbers
for testing.

fcafb71b57 xfs: get rid of indirections in the quotaops implementation
Currently we call from the nicely abstracted linux quotaops into a ugly
multiplexer just to split the calls out at the same boundary again.

7884bc8617 xfs: fix bad_features2 fixups for the root filesystem
Currently the bad_features2 fixup and the alignment updates in the superblock
are skipped if we mount a filesystem read-only.  But for the root filesystem
the typical case is to mount read-only first and only later remount writeable
so we'll never perform this update at all.  It's not a big problem but means
the logs of people needing the fixup get spammed at every boot because they
never happen on disk.

There's almost nothing left in this function, instead remove the IRELE

For the regular unmount case that means it now also happenes after dmapi

9d565ffa33 [XFS] kill struct xfs_mount_args
No need to parse the mount option into a structure before applying it to
struct xfs_mount.

The content of xfs_start_flags gets merged into xfs_parseargs. Calls
inbetween don't care and can use mount members instead of the args struct.

This patch uncovered that the mount option for shared filesystems wasn't
ever exposed on Linux. The code to handle it is #if 0'ed in this patch
pending a decision on this feature. I'll send a writeup about it to the
list soon.

60197e8df3 [XFS] Cleanup maxrecs calculation.
Clean up the way the maximum and minimum records for the btree blocks are
calculated. For the alloc and inobt btrees all the values are
pre-calculated in xfs_mount_common, and we switch the current loop around
the ugly generic macros that use cpp token pasting to generate type names
to two small helpers in normal C code. For the bmbt and bmdr trees these
helpers also exist, but can be called during runtime, too. Here we also
kill various macros dealing with them and inline the logic into the
get_minrecs / get_maxrecs / get_dmaxrecs methods in xfs_bmap_btree.c.

Note that all these new helpers take an xfs_mount * argument which will be
needed to determine the size of a btree block once we add support for
extended btree blocks with CRCs and other RAS information.

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.

- xfs_unmountfs_close is renamed to xfs_close_devices and made static

- 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

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.

613d70436c [XFS] kill xfs_iocore_t
xfs_iocore_t is a structure embedded in xfs_inode. Except for one field it
just duplicates fields already in xfs_inode, and there is nothing this
abstraction buys us on XFS/Linux. This patch removes it and shrinks source
and binary size of xfs aswell as shrinking the size of xfs_inode by 60/44
bytes in debug/non-debug builds.

541d7d3c4b [XFS] kill unnessecary ioops indirection
Currently there is an indirection called ioops in the XFS data I/O path.
Various functions are called by functions pointers, but there is no
coherence in what this is for, and of course for XFS itself it's entirely
unused. This patch removes it instead and significantly reduces source and
binary size of XFS while making maintaince easier.
