When inodes are marked stale in a transaction, they are treated
specially when the inode log item is being inserted into the AIL.
It tries to avoid moving the log item forward in the AIL due to a
race condition with the writing the underlying buffer back to disk.
The was "fixed" in commit de25c18 ("xfs: avoid moving stale inodes
in the AIL").
To avoid moving the item forward, we return a LSN smaller than the
commit_lsn of the completing transaction, thereby trying to trick
the commit code into not moving the inode forward at all. I'm not
sure this ever worked as intended - it assumes the inode is already
in the AIL, but I don't think the returned LSN would have been small
enough to prevent moving the inode. It appears that the reason it
worked is that the lower LSN of the inodes meant they were inserted
into the AIL and flushed before the inode buffer (which was moved to
the commit_lsn of the transaction).
The big problem is that with delayed logging, the returning of the
different LSN means insertion takes the slow, non-bulk path. Worse
yet is that insertion is to a position -before- the commit_lsn so it
is doing a AIL traversal on every insertion, and has to walk over
all the items that have already been inserted into the AIL. It's
expensive.
To compound the matter further, with delayed logging inodes are
likely to go from clean to stale in a single checkpoint, which means
they aren't even in the AIL at all when we come across them at AIL
insertion time. Hence these were all getting inserted into the AIL
when they simply do not need to be as inodes marked XFS_ISTALE are
never written back.
Transactional/recovery integrity is maintained in this case by the
other items in the unlink transaction that were modified (e.g. the
AGI btree blocks) and committed in the same checkpoint.
So to fix this, simply unpin the stale inodes directly in
xfs_inode_item_committed() and return -1 to indicate that the AIL
insertion code does not need to do any further processing of these
inodes.

If the attribute fork on an inode is in btree format and has
multiple levels (i.e node format rather than leaf format), then a
lookup failure will trigger an assert failure in xfs_da_path_shift
if the flag XFS_DA_OP_OKNOENT is not set. This flag is used to
indicate to the directory btree code that not finding an entry is
not a fatal error. In the case of doing a lookup for a directory
name removal, this is valid as a user cannot insert an arbitrary
name to remove from the directory btree.
However, in the case of the attribute tree, a user has direct
control over the attribute name and can ask for any random name to
be removed without any validation. In this case, fsstress is asking
for a non-existent user.selinux attribute to be removed, and that is
causing xfs_da_path_shift() to fall off the bottom of the tree where
it asserts that a lookup failure is allowed. Because the flag is not
set, we die a horrible death on a debug enable kernel.
Prevent this assert from firing on attribute removes by adding the
op_flag XFS_DA_OP_OKNOENT to atribute removal operations.
Discovered when testing on a SELinux enabled system by fsstress in
test 070 by trying to remove a non-existent user.selinux attribute.

When an inode is truncated down, speculative preallocation is
removed from the inode. This should also reset the state bits for
controlling whether preallocation is subsequently removed when the
file is next closed. The flag is not being cleared, so repeated
operations on a file that first involve a truncate (e.g. multiple
repeated dd invocations on a file) give different file layouts for
the second and subsequent invocations.
Fix this by clearing the XFS_IDIRTY_RELEASE state bit when the
XFS_ITRUNCATED bit is detected in xfs_release() and hence ensure
that speculative delalloc is removed on files that have been
truncated down.

XFS inodes has several per-lifetime state fields that determine the
behaviour of the inode. These state fields are not all reset when an
inode is reused from the reclaimable state.
This can lead to unexpected behaviour of the new inode such as
speculative preallocation not being truncated away in the expected
manner for local files until the inode is subsequently truncated,
freed or cycles out of the cache. It can also lead to an inode being
considered to be a filestream inode or having been truncated when
that is not the case.
Rework the reinitialisation of the inode when it is recycled to
ensure that it is pristine before it is reused. While there, also
fix the resetting of state flags in the recycling error paths so the
inode does not become unreclaimable.

There's no reason not to support cache flushing on external log devices.
The only thing this really requires is flushing the data device first
both in fsync and log commits. A side effect is that we also have to
remove the barrier write test during mount, which has been superflous
since the new FLUSH+FUA code anyway. Also use the chance to flush the
RT subvolume write cache before the fsync commit, which is required

Blocks for the allocation btree are allocated from and released to
the AGFL, and thus frequently reused. Even worse we do not have an
easy way to avoid using an AGFL block when it is discarded due to
the simple FILO list of free blocks, and thus can frequently stall
on blocks that are currently undergoing a discard.
Add a flag to the busy extent tracking structure to skip the discard
for allocation btree blocks. In normal operation these blocks are
reused frequently enough that there is no need to discard them
anyway, but if they spill over to the allocation btree as part of a
balance we "leak" blocks that we would otherwise discard. We could
fix this by adding another flag and keeping these block in the
rbtree even after they aren't busy any more so that we could discard
them when they migrate out of the AGFL. Given that this would cause
significant overhead I don't think it's worthwile for now.

When allocating an extent that is long enough to consume the
remaining free space in an AG, we need to ensure that the allocation
leaves enough space in the AG for any subsequent bmap btree blocks
that are needed to track the new extent. These have to be allocated
in the same AG as we only reserve enough blocks in an allocation
transaction for modification of the freespace trees in a single AG.
xfs_alloc_fix_minleft() has been considering blocks on the AGFL as
free blocks available for extent and bmbt block allocation, which is
not correct - blocks on the AGFL are there exclusively for the use
of the free space btrees. As a result, when minleft is less than the
number of blocks on the AGFL, xfs_alloc_fix_minleft() does not trim
the given extent to leave minleft blocks available for bmbt
allocation, and hence we can fail allocation during bmbt record
insertion.

When we free a vmapped buffer, we need to ensure the vmap address
and length we free is the same as when it was allocated. In various
places in the log code we change the memory the buffer is pointing
to before issuing IO, but we never reset the buffer to point back to
it's original memory (or no memory, if that is the case for the
buffer).
As a result, when we free the buffer it points to memory that is
owned by something else and attempts to unmap and free it. Because
the range does not match any known mapped range, it can trigger
BUG_ON() traps in the vmap code, and potentially corrupt the vmap
area tracking.
Fix this by always resetting these buffers to their original state
before freeing them.

The recent conversion of the xfsaild functionality to a work queue

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.

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....

XFS_IOC_ZERO_RANGE uses struct xfs_flock64, and thus requires argument
translation for 32-bit binaries on x86. Add the required
XFS_IOC_ZERO_RANGE_32 defined and add it to the list of commands that
require xfs_flock64 translation.

follow these guidelines:
- leave initialization in the declaration block if it fits the line
- move to the code where it's more suitable ('for' init block)
The last chunk was modified from David's original to be a correct
fix for what appeared to be a duplicate initialization.

Instead of finding the per-ag and then taking and releasing the pagb_lock
for every single busy extent completed sort the list of busy extents and
only switch betweens AGs where nessecary. This becomes especially important
with the online discard support which will hit this lock more often.

Update the extent tree in case we have to reuse a busy extent, so that it
always is kept uptodate. This is done by replacing the busy list searches
with a new xfs_alloc_busy_reuse helper, which updates the busy extent tree
in case of a reuse. This allows us to allow reusing metadata extents
unconditionally, and thus avoid log forces especially for allocation btree
blocks.

Every time we reallocate a busy extent, we cause a synchronous log force
to occur to ensure the freeing transaction is on disk before we continue
and use the newly allocated extent. This is extremely sub-optimal as we
have to mark every transaction with blocks that get reused as synchronous.
Instead of searching the busy extent list after deciding on the extent to
allocate, check each candidate extent during the allocation decisions as
to whether they are in the busy list. If they are in the busy list, we
trim the busy range out of the extent we have found and determine if that
trimmed range is still OK for allocation. In many cases, this check can
be incorporated into the allocation extent alignment code which already
does trimming of the found extent before determining if it is a valid
candidate for allocation.
Based on earlier patches from Dave Chinner.

While we need to make sure we do not reuse busy extents, there is no need
to force out busy extents when moving them between the AGFL and the
freespace btree as we still take care of that when doing the real allocation.
To avoid the log force when just moving extents from the different free
space tracking structures, move the busy search out of
xfs_alloc_get_freelist into the callers that need it, and move the busy
list insert from xfs_free_ag_extent which is used both by AGFL refills
and real allocation to xfs_free_extent, which is only used by the latter.

Commit 957935dc ("xfs: fix xfs_debug warnings" broke the logic in
__xfs_printk(). Instead of only printing one of two possible output
strings based on whether the fs has a name or not, it outputs both.
Fix it to only output one message again.

ia64 throws away .exit sections for the built-in CONFIG case, so routines
that are used in other circumstances should not be tagged as __exit.
