7ac956576d xfs: fix race condition in AIL push trigger
The recent conversion of the xfsaild functionality to a work queue
introduced a hard-to-hit log space grant hang. One is caused by a
race condition in determining whether there is a psh in progress or
not.

The XFS_AIL_PUSHING_BIT is used to determine whether a push is
currently in progress.  When the AIL push work completes, it checked
whether the target changed and cleared the PUSHING bit to allow a
new push to be requeued. The race condition is as follows:

	Thread 1		push work

	smp_wmb()
				smp_rmb()
				check ailp->xa_target unchanged
	update ailp->xa_target
	test/set PUSHING bit
	does not queue
				clear PUSHING bit
				does not requeue

Now that the push target is updated, new attempts to push the AIL
will not trigger as the push target will be the same, and hence
despite trying to push the AIL we won't ever wake it again.

The fix is to ensure that the AIL push work clears the PUSHING bit
before it checks if the target is unchanged.

As a result, both push triggers operate on the same test/set bit
criteria, so even if we race in the push work and miss the target
update, the thread requesting the push will still set the PUSHING
bit and queue the push work to occur. For safety sake, the same
queue check is done if the push work detects the target change,
though only one of the two will will queue new work due to the use
of test_and_set_bit() checks.

fe0da76731 xfs: make AIL target updates and compares 32bit safe.
The recent conversion of the xfsaild functionality to a work queue
introduced a hard-to-hit log space grant hang. One of the problems
noticed was that updates of the push target are not 32 bit safe as
the target is a 64 bit value.

We cannot copy a 64 bit LSN without the possibility of corrupting
the result when racing with another updating thread. We have
function to do this update safely without needing to care about
32/64 bit issues - xfs_trans_ail_copy_lsn() - so use that when
updating the AIL push target.

Also move the reading of the target in the push work inside the AIL
lock, and use XFS_LSN_CMP() for the unlocked comparison during work
termination to close read holes as well.

50e86686df xfs: always push the AIL to the target
The recent conversion of the xfsaild functionality to a work queue
introduced a hard-to-hit log space grant hang. One of the problems
discovered is a target mismatch between the item pushing loop and
the target itself.

The push trigger checks for the target increasing (i.e. new target >
current) while the push loop only pushes items that have a LSN <
current. As a result, we can get the situation where the push target
is X, the items at the tail of the AIL have LSN X and they don't get
pushed. The push work then completes thinking it is done, and cannot
be restarted until the push target increases to >= X + 1. If the
push target then never increases (because the tail is not moving),
then we never run the push work again and we stall.

Fix it by making sure log items with a LSN that matches the target
exactly are pushed during the loop.

228d62dd3f xfs: ensure reclaim cursor is reset correctly at end of AG
On a 32 bit highmem PowerPC machine, the XFS inode cache was growing
without bound and exhausting low memory causing the OOM killer to be
triggered. After some effort, the problem was reproduced on a 32 bit
x86 highmem machine.

The problem is that the per-ag inode reclaim index cursor was not
getting reset to the start of the AG if the radix tree tag lookup
found no more reclaimable inodes. Hence every further reclaim
attempt started at the same index beyond where any reclaimable
inodes lay, and no further background reclaim ever occurred from the
AG.

Without background inode reclaim the VM driven cache shrinker
simply cannot keep up with cache growth, and OOM is the result.

While the change that exposed the problem was the conversion of the
inode reclaim to use work queues for background reclaim, it was not
the cause of the bug. The bug was introduced when the cursor code
was added, just waiting for some weird configuration to strike....

957935dcd8 xfs: fix xfs_debug warnings
For a CONFIG_XFS_DEBUG=n build gcc complains about statements with no
effect in xfs_debug:

fs/xfs/quota/xfs_qm_syscalls.c: In function 'xfs_qm_scall_trunc_qfiles':
fs/xfs/quota/xfs_qm_syscalls.c:291:3: warning: statement with no effect

The reason for that is that the various new xfs message functions have a
return value which is never used, and in case of the non-debug build
xfs_debug the macro evaluates to a plain 0 which produces the above
warnings.  This can be fixed by turning xfs_debug into an inline function
instead of a macro, but in addition to that I've also changed all the
message helpers to return void as we never use their return values.

da8a1a4a4d xfs: convert log tail checking to a warning
On the Power platform, the log tail debug checks fire excessively
causing the system to panic early in testing. The debug checks are
known to be racy, though on x86_64 there is no evidence that they
trigger at all.

We want to keep the checks active on debug systems to alert us to
problems with log space accounting, but we need to reduce the impact
of a racy check on testing on the Power platform.

As a result, convert the ASSERT conditions to warnings, and
allow them to fire only once per filesystem mount. This will prevent
false positives from interfering with testing, whilst still
providing us with the indication that they may be a problem with log
space accounting should that occur.

fd074841cf xfs: push the AIL from memory reclaim and periodic sync
When we are short on memory, we want to expedite the cleaning of
dirty objects.  Hence when we run short on memory, we need to kick
the AIL flushing into action to clean as many dirty objects as
quickly as possible.  To implement this, sample the lsn of the log
item at the head of the AIL and use that as the push target for the
AIL flush.

Further, we keep items in the AIL that are dirty that are not
tracked any other way, so we can get objects sitting in the AIL that
don't get written back until the AIL is pushed. Hence to get the
filesystem to the idle state, we might need to push the AIL to flush
out any remaining dirty objects sitting in the AIL. This requires
the same push mechanism as the reclaim push.

This patch also renames xfs_trans_ail_tail() to xfs_ail_min_lsn() to
match the new xfs_ail_max_lsn() function introduced in this patch.
Similarly for xfs_trans_ail_push -> xfs_ail_push.

0bf6a5bd4b xfs: convert the xfsaild threads to a workqueue
Similar to the xfssyncd, the per-filesystem xfsaild threads can be
converted to a global workqueue and run periodically by delayed
works. This makes sense for the AIL pushing because it uses
variable timeouts depending on the work that needs to be done.

By removing the xfsaild, we simplify the AIL pushing code and
remove the need to spread the code to implement the threading
and pushing across multiple files.

a7b339f1b8 xfs: introduce background inode reclaim work
Background inode reclaim needs to run more frequently that the XFS
syncd work is run as 30s is too long between optimal reclaim runs.
Add a new periodic work item to the xfs syncd workqueue to run a
fast, non-blocking inode reclaim scan.

Background inode reclaim is kicked by the act of marking inodes for
reclaim.  When an AG is first marked as having reclaimable inodes,
the background reclaim work is kicked. It will continue to run
periodically untill it detects that there are no more reclaimable
inodes. It will be kicked again when the first inode is queued for
reclaim.

To ensure shrinker based inode reclaim throttles to the inode
cleaning and reclaim rate but still reclaim inodes efficiently, make it kick the
background inode reclaim so that when we are low on memory we are
trying to reclaim inodes as efficiently as possible. This kick shoul
d not be necessary, but it will protect against failures to kick the
background reclaim when inodes are first dirtied.

To provide the rate throttling, make the shrinker pass do
synchronous inode reclaim so that it blocks on inodes under IO. This
means that the shrinker will reclaim inodes rather than just
skipping over them, but it does not adversely affect the rate of
reclaim because most dirty inodes are already under IO due to the
background reclaim work the shrinker kicked.

These two modifications solve one of the two OOM killer invocations
Chris Mason reported recently when running a stress testing script.
The particular workload trigger for the OOM killer invocation is
where there are more threads than CPUs all unlinking files in an
extremely memory constrained environment. Unlike other solutions,
this one does not have a performance impact on performance when
memory is not constrained or the number of concurrent threads
operating is <= to the number of CPUs.

89e4cb550a xfs: convert ENOSPC inode flushing to use new syncd workqueue
On of the problems with the current inode flush at ENOSPC is that we
queue a flush per ENOSPC event, regardless of how many are already
queued. Thi can result in    hundreds of queued flushes, most of
which simply burn CPU scanned and do no real work. This simply slows
down allocation at ENOSPC.

We really only need one active flush at a time, and we can easily
implement that via the new xfs_syncd_wq. All we need to do is queue
a flush if one is not already active, then block waiting for the
currently active flush to complete. The result is that we only ever
have a single ENOSPC inode flush active at a time and this greatly
reduces the overhead of ENOSPC processing.

On my 2p test machine, this results in tests exercising ENOSPC
conditions running significantly faster - 042 halves execution time,
083 drops from 60s to 5s, etc - while not introducing test
regressions.

This allows us to remove the old xfssyncd threads and infrastructure
as they are no longer used.

c6d09b666d xfs: introduce a xfssyncd workqueue
All of the work xfssyncd does is background functionality. There is
no need for a thread per filesystem to do this work - it can al be
managed by a global workqueue now they manage concurrency
effectively.

Introduce a new gglobal xfssyncd workqueue, and convert the periodic
work to use this new functionality. To do this, use a delayed work
construct to schedule the next running of the periodic sync work
for the filesystem. When the sync work is complete, queue a new
delayed work for the next running of the sync work.

For laptop mode, we wait on completion for the sync works, so ensure
that the sync work queuing interface can flush and wait for work to
complete to enable the work queue infrastructure to replace the
current sequence number and wakeup that is used.

Because the sync work does non-trivial amounts of work, mark the
new work queue as CPU intensive.

e828776a8a xfs: fix extent format buffer allocation size
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).

0e6e847ffe xfs: stop using the page cache to back the buffer cache
Now that the buffer cache has it's own LRU, we do not need to use
the page cache to provide persistent caching and reclaim
infrastructure. Convert the buffer cache to use alloc_pages()
instead of the page cache. This will remove all the overhead of page
cache management from setup and teardown of the buffers, as well as
needing to mark pages accessed as we find buffers in the buffer
cache.

By avoiding the page cache, we also remove the need to keep state in
the page_private(page) field for persistant storage across buffer
free/buffer rebuild and so all that code can be removed. This also
fixes the long-standing problem of not having enough bits in the
page_private field to track all the state needed for a 512
sector/64k page setup.

It also removes the need for page locking during reads as the pages
are unique to the buffer and nobody else will be attempting to
access them.

Finally, it removes the buftarg address space lock as a point of
global contention on workloads that allocate and free buffers
quickly such as when creating or removing large numbers of inodes in
parallel. This remove the 16TB limit on filesystem size on 32 bit
machines as the page index (32 bit) is no longer used for lookups
of metadata buffers - the buffer cache is now solely indexed by disk
address which is stored in a 64 bit field in the buffer.

704b2907c2 xfs: register the inode cache shrinker before quotachecks
During mount, we can do a quotacheck that involves a bulkstat pass
on all inodes. If there are more inodes in the filesystem than can
be held in memory, we require the inode cache shrinker to run to
ensure that we don't run out of memory.

Unfortunately, the inode cache shrinker is not registered until we
get to the end of the superblock setup process, which is after a
quotacheck is run if it is needed. Hence we need to register the
inode cache shrinker earlier in the mount process so that we don't
OOM during mount. This requires that we also initialise the syncd
work before we register the shrinker, so we nee dto juggle that
around as well.

While there, make sure that we have set up the block sizes in the
VFS superblock correctly before the quotacheck is run so that any
inodes that are cached as a result of the quotacheck have their
block size fields set up correctly.

7401aafd50 xfs: xfs_trans_read_buf() should return an error on failure
When inside a transaction and we fail to read a buffer,
xfs_trans_read_buf returns a null buffer pointer and no error.
xfs_do_da_buf() checks the error return, but not the buffer, and as
a result this read failure condition causes a panic when it attempts

Make xfs_trans_read_buf() return the same error for this situation
regardless of whether it is in a transaction or not. This means
every caller does not need to check both the error return and the
buffer before proceeding to use the buffer.

1bfd8d0419 xfs: introduce inode cluster buffer trylocks for xfs_iflush
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.

On 32 bit systems, vmalloc space is limited and XFS can chew through
it quickly as the vmalloc space is lazily freed. This can result in
failure to map buffers, even when there is apparently large amounts
of vmalloc space available. Hence, if we fail to map a buffer, purge
the aliases that have not yet been freed to hopefuly free up enough
vmalloc space to allow a retry to succeed.

8287889742 xfs: preallocation transactions do not need to be synchronous
Preallocation and hole punch transactions are currently synchronous
and this is causing performance problems in some cases. The
transactions don't need to be synchronous as we don't need to
guarantee the preallocation is persistent on disk until a
fdatasync, fsync, sync operation occurs. If the file is opened
O_SYNC or O_DATASYNC, only then should the transaction be issued
synchronously.

With the plugging now being explicitly controlled by the
