xfs_file_aio_write() only returns the error from synchronous
flushing of the data and inode if error == 0. At the point where
error is being checked, it is guaranteed to be > 0. Therefore any

RCU free the struct inode. This will allow:
- Subsequent store-free path walking patch. The inode must be consulted for
permissions when walking, so an RCU inode reference is a must.
- sb_inode_list_lock to be moved inside i_lock because sb list walkers who want
to take i_lock no longer need to take sb_inode_list_lock to walk the list in
the first place. This will simplify and optimize locking.
- Could remove some nested trylock loops in dcache code
- Could potentially simplify things a bit in VM land. Do not need to take the
page lock to follow page->mapping.
The downsides of this is the performance cost of using RCU. In a simple
creat/unlink microbenchmark, performance drops by about 10% due to inability to
reuse cache-hot slab objects. As iterations increase and RCU freeing starts
kicking over, this increases to about 20%.
In cases where inode lifetimes are longer (ie. many inodes may be allocated
during the average life span of a single inode), a lot of this cache reuse is
not applicable, so the regression caused by this patch is smaller.
The cache-hot regression could largely be avoided by using SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU,
however this adds some complexity to list walking and store-free path walking,
so I prefer to implement this at a later date, if it is shown to be a win in
real situations. I haven't found a regression in any non-micro benchmark so I
doubt it will be a problem.

Needed to update to apply fixes for which the old branch was too
outdated.
The only thing that the grant lock remains to protect is the grant head
manipulations when adding or removing space from the log. These calculations
are already based on atomic variables, so we can already update them safely
without locks. However, the grant head manpulations require atomic multi-step
calculations to be executed, which the algorithms currently don't allow.
To make these multi-step calculations atomic, convert the algorithms to
compare-and-exchange loops on the atomic variables. That is, we sample the old
value, perform the calculation and use atomic64_cmpxchg() to attempt to update
the head with the new value. If the head has not changed since we sampled it,
it will succeed and we are done. Otherwise, we rerun the calculation again from
a new sample of the head.
This allows us to remove the grant lock from around all the grant head space
manipulations, and that effectively removes the grant lock from the log
completely. Hence we can remove the grant lock completely from the log at this
point.

The log grant ticket wait queues are currently protected by the log
grant lock. However, the queues are functionally independent from
each other, and operations on them only require serialisation
against other queue operations now that all of the other log
variables they use are atomic values.
Hence, we can make them independent of the grant lock by introducing
new locks just to protect the lists operations. because the lists
are independent, we can use a lock per list and ensure that reserve
and write head queuing do not contend.
To ensure forced shutdowns work correctly in conjunction with the
new fast paths, ensure that we check whether the log has been shut
down in the grant functions once we hold the relevant spin locks but
before we go to sleep. This is needed to co-ordinate correctly with
the wakeups that are issued on the ticket queues so we don't leave
any processes sleeping on the queues during a shutdown.

Now that we don't mark VFS inodes dirty anymore for internal

When inserting items into the AIL from the transaction committed
callbacks, we take the AIL lock for every single item that is to be
inserted. For a CIL checkpoint commit, this can be tens of thousands
of individual inserts, yet almost all of the items will be inserted
at the same point in the AIL because they have the same index.
To reduce the overhead and contention on the AIL lock for such
operations, introduce a "bulk insert" operation which allows a list
of log items with the same LSN to be inserted in a single operation
via a list splice. To do this, we need to pre-sort the log items
being committed into a temporary list for insertion.
The complexity is that not every log item will end up with the same
LSN, and not every item is actually inserted into the AIL. Items
that don't match the commit LSN will be inserted and unpinned as per
the current one-at-a-time method (relatively rare), while items that
are not to be inserted will be unpinned and freed immediately. Items
that are to be inserted at the given commit lsn are placed in a
temporary array and inserted into the AIL in bulk each time the
array fills up.
As a result of this, we trade off AIL hold time for a significant
reduction in traffic. lock_stat output shows that the worst case
hold time is unchanged, but contention from AIL inserts drops by an
order of magnitude and the number of lock traversal decreases
significantly.

Introduce a per-buftarg LRU for memory reclaim to operate on. This
is the last piece we need to put in place so that we can fully
control the buffer lifecycle. This allows XFS to be responsibile for
maintaining the working set of buffers under memory pressure instead
of relying on the VM reclaim not to take pages we need out from
underneath us.
The implementation introduces a b_lru_ref counter into the buffer.
This is currently set to 1 whenever the buffer is referenced and so is used to
determine if the buffer should be added to the LRU or not when freed.
Effectively it allows lazy LRU initialisation of the buffer so we do not need
to touch the LRU list and locks in xfs_buf_find().
Instead, when the buffer is being released and we drop the last
reference to it, we check the b_lru_ref count and if it is none zero
we re-add the buffer reference and add the inode to the LRU. The
b_lru_ref counter is decremented by the shrinker, and whenever the
shrinker comes across a buffer with a zero b_lru_ref counter, if
released the LRU reference on the buffer. In the absence of a lookup
race, this will result in the buffer being freed.
This counting mechanism is used instead of a reference flag so that
it is simple to re-introduce buffer-type specific reclaim reference
counts to prioritise reclaim more effectively. We still have all
those hooks in the XFS code, so this will provide the infrastructure
to re-implement that functionality.

In this case, we then insert a clean, stale inode into the AIL which
will never get removed by an IO completion. It will, however, get
reclaimed and that triggers an assert in xfs_inode_free()
complaining about freeing an inode still in the AIL.
This race can be avoided by not moving stale inodes forward in the AIL
during transaction commit completion processing. This closes the
race condition by ensuring we never insert clean stale inodes into

As reported by Nick Piggin, XFS is suffering from long pauses under
highly concurrent workloads when hosted on ramdisks. The problem is
that an inode buffer is stuck in the pinned state in memory and as a
result either the inode buffer or one of the inodes within the
buffer is stopping the tail of the log from being moved forward.
The system remains in this state until a periodic log force issued
by xfssyncd causes the buffer to be unpinned. The main problem is
that these are stale buffers, and are hence held locked until the
transaction/checkpoint that marked them state has been committed to
disk. When the filesystem gets into this state, only the xfssyncd
can cause the async transactions to be committed to disk and hence
unpin the inode buffer.
This problem was encountered when scaling the busy extent list, but
only the blocking lock interface was fixed to solve the problem.
Extend the same fix to the buffer trylock operations - if we fail to
lock a pinned, stale buffer, then force the log immediately so that
when the next attempt to lock it comes around, it will have been
unpinned.

The only nasty case is pre-existing preallocation which we need to skip.

A long standing problem for streaming writeѕ through the NFS server
has been that the NFS server opens and closes file descriptors on an
inode for every write. The result of this behaviour is that the
->release() function is called on every close and that results in
XFS truncating speculative preallocation beyond the EOF. This has
an adverse effect on file layout when multiple files are being
written at the same time - they interleave their extents and can
result in severe fragmentation.
To avoid this problem, keep track of ->release calls made on a dirty
inode. For most cases, an inode is only going to be opened once for
writing and then closed again during it's lifetime in cache. Hence
if there are multiple ->release calls when the inode is dirty, there
is a good chance that the inode is being accessed by the NFS server.
Hence set a flag the first time ->release is called while there are
delalloc blocks still outstanding on the inode.
If this flag is set when ->release is next called, then do no
truncate away the speculative preallocation - leave it there so that
subsequent writes do not need to reallocate the delalloc space. This
will prevent interleaving of extents of different inodes written
concurrently to the same AG.
If we get this wrong, it is not a big deal as we truncate
speculative allocation beyond EOF anyway in xfs_inactive() when the
inode is thrown out of the cache.

Currently the size of the speculative preallocation during delayed
allocation is fixed by either the allocsize mount option of a
default size. We are seeing a lot of cases where we need to
recommend using the allocsize mount option to prevent fragmentation
when buffered writes land in the same AG.
Rather than using a fixed preallocation size by default (up to 64k),
make it dynamic by basing it on the current inode size. That way the
EOF preallocation will increase as the file size increases. Hence
for streaming writes we are much more likely to get large
preallocations exactly when we need it to reduce fragementation.
For default settings, the size of the initial extents is determined
by the number of parallel writers and the amount of memory in the
machine. For 4GB RAM and 4 concurrent 32GB file writes:

Because it is hard to take back specualtive preallocation, cases
where there are large slow growing log files on a nearly full
filesystem may cause premature ENOSPC. Hence as the filesystem nears
full, the maximum dynamic prealloc size іs reduced according to this
table (based on 4k block size):
freespace max prealloc size
>5% full extent (8GB)
4-5% 2GB (8GB >> 2)
3-4% 1GB (8GB >> 3)
2-3% 512MB (8GB >> 4)
1-2% 256MB (8GB >> 5)
<1% 128MB (8GB >> 6)
This should reduce the amount of space held in speculative
preallocation for such cases.
The allocsize mount option turns off the dynamic behaviour and fixes
the prealloc size to whatever the mount option specifies. i.e. the
behaviour is unchanged.

When listing attributes, we are doiing memory allocations under the
inode ilock using only KM_SLEEP. This allows memory allocation to
recurse back into the filesystem and do writeback, which may the
ilock we already hold on the current inode. THis will deadlock.

The XFS iolock needs to be re-initialised to a new lock class before
it enters reclaim to prevent lockdep false positives. Unfortunately,
this is not sufficient protection as inodes in the XFS_IRECLAIMABLE
state can be recycled and not re-initialised before being reused.
We need to re-initialise the lock state when transfering out of
XFS_IRECLAIMABLE state to XFS_INEW, but we need to keep the same
class as if the inode was just allocated. Hence we need a specific
lockdep class variable for the iolock so that both initialisations
use the same class.
While there, add a specific class for inodes in the reclaim state so
that it is easy to tell from lockdep reports what state the inode
was in that generated the report.

After recent blkdev_get() modifications, open_by_devnum() and
open_bdev_exclusive() are simple wrappers around blkdev_get().
Replace them with blkdev_get_by_dev() and blkdev_get_by_path().
blkdev_get_by_dev() is identical to open_by_devnum().
blkdev_get_by_path() is slightly different in that it doesn't
automatically add %FMODE_EXCL to @mode.
All users are converted. Most conversions are mechanical and don't
introduce any behavior difference. There are several exceptions.
* btrfs now sets FMODE_EXCL in btrfs_device->mode, so there's no
reason to OR it explicitly on blkdev_put().
* gfs2, nilfs2 and the generic mount_bdev() now set FMODE_EXCL in
sb->s_mode.
* With the above changes, sb->s_mode now always should contain
FMODE_EXCL. WARN_ON_ONCE() added to kill_block_super() to detect
errors.
The new blkdev_get_*() functions are with proper docbook comments.
While at it, add function description to blkdev_get() too.

Over time, block layer has accumulated a set of APIs dealing with bdev
open, close, claim and release.
* blkdev_get/put() are the primary open and close functions.
* bd_claim/release() deal with exclusive open.
* open/close_bdev_exclusive() are combination of open and claim and
the other way around, respectively.
* bd_link/unlink_disk_holder() to create and remove holder/slave
symlinks.
* open_by_devnum() wraps bdget() + blkdev_get().
The interface is a bit confusing and the decoupling of open and claim
makes it impossible to properly guarantee exclusive access as
in-kernel open + claim sequence can disturb the existing exclusive
open even before the block layer knows the current open if for another
exclusive access. Reorganize the interface such that,
* blkdev_get() is extended to include exclusive access management.
@holder argument is added and, if is @FMODE_EXCL specified, it will
gain exclusive access atomically w.r.t. other exclusive accesses.
* blkdev_put() is similarly extended. It now takes @mode argument and
if @FMODE_EXCL is set, it releases an exclusive access. Also, when
the last exclusive claim is released, the holder/slave symlinks are
removed automatically.
* bd_claim/release() and close_bdev_exclusive() are no longer
necessary and either made static or removed.
* bd_link_disk_holder() remains the same but bd_unlink_disk_holder()
is no longer necessary and removed.
* open_bdev_exclusive() becomes a simple wrapper around lookup_bdev()
and blkdev_get(). It also has an unexpected extra bdev_read_only()
test which probably should be moved into blkdev_get().
* open_by_devnum() is modified to take @holder argument and pass it to
blkdev_get().
Most of bdev open/close operations are unified into blkdev_get/put()
and most exclusive accesses are tested atomically at the open time (as
it should). This cleans up code and removes some, both valid and
invalid, but unnecessary all the same, corner cases.
open_bdev_exclusive() and open_by_devnum() can use further cleanup -
rename to blkdev_get_by_path() and blkdev_get_by_devt() and drop
special features. Well, let's leave them for another day.
Most conversions are straight-forward. drbd conversion is a bit more
involved as there was some reordering, but the logic should stay the
same.

In commit 20cb52ebd1, titled
"xfs: simplify xfs_vm_writepage" I added an assert that any !mapped and
uptodate buffers are not dirty. That asserts turns out to trigger a lot
when running fsx on filesystems with small block sizes. The reason for
that is that the assert is simply incorrect. !mapped and uptodate
just mean this buffer covers a hole, and whenever we do a set_page_dirty
we mark all blocks in the page dirty, no matter if they have data or
not. So remove the assert, and update the comment above the condition
to match reality.

This removes more dead code that was somehow missed by commit 0d99519efe

no behavior change except for the removal of two entries from one of the

The nonblocking checks in ->writepages are no longer used because the
flusher now prefer to block on get_request_wait() than to skip inodes on
IO congestion. The latter will lead to more seeky IO.
The nonblocking checks in ->writepage are no longer used because it's
redundant with the WB_SYNC_NONE check.
We no long set ->nonblocking in VM page out and page migration, because
a) it's effectively redundant with WB_SYNC_NONE in current code
b) it's old semantic of "Don't get stuck on request queues" is mis-behavior:
that would skip some dirty inodes on congestion and page out others, which
is unfair in terms of LRU age.

The buffer cache hash is showing typical hash scalability problems.
In large scale testing the number of cached items growing far larger
than the hash can efficiently handle. Hence we need to move to a
self-scaling cache indexing mechanism.
I have selected rbtrees for indexing becuse they can have O(log n)
search scalability, and insert and remove cost is not excessive,
even on large trees. Hence we should be able to cache large numbers
of buffers without incurring the excessive cache miss search
penalties that the hash is imposing on us.
To ensure we still have parallel access to the cache, we need
multiple trees. Rather than hashing the buffers by disk address to
select a tree, it seems more sensible to separate trees by typical
access patterns. Most operations use buffers from within a single AG
at a time, so rather than searching lots of different lists,
separate the buffer indexes out into per-AG rbtrees. This means that
searches during metadata operation have a much higher chance of
hitting cache resident nodes, and that updates of the tree are less
likely to disturb trees being accessed on other CPUs doing
independent operations.

Memory reclaim via shrinkers has a terrible habit of having N+M
concurrent shrinker executions (N = num CPUs, M = num kswapds) all
trying to shrink the same cache. When the cache they are all working
on is protected by a single spinlock, massive contention an
slowdowns occur.
Wrap the per-ag inode caches with a reclaim mutex to serialise
reclaim access to the AG. This will block concurrent reclaim in each
AG but still allow reclaim to scan multiple AGs concurrently. Allow
shrinkers to move on to the next AG if it can't get the lock, and if
we can't get any AG, then start blocking on locks.
To prevent reclaimers from continually scanning the same inodes in
each AG, add a cursor that tracks where the last reclaim got up to
and start from that point on the next reclaim. This should avoid
only ever scanning a small number of inodes at the satart of each AG
and not making progress. If we have a non-shrinker based reclaim
pass, ignore the cursor and reset it to zero once we are done.

Under heavy multi-way parallel create workloads, the VFS struggles
to write back all the inodes that have been changed in age order.
The bdi flusher thread becomes CPU bound, spending 85% of it's time
in the VFS code, mostly traversing the superblock dirty inode list
to separate dirty inodes old enough to flush.
We already keep an index of all metadata changes in age order - in
the AIL - and continued log pressure will do age ordered writeback
without any extra overhead at all. If there is no pressure on the
log, the xfssyncd will periodically write back metadata in ascending
disk address offset order so will be very efficient.
Hence we can stop marking VFS inodes dirty during transaction commit
or when changing timestamps during transactions. This will keep the
inodes in the superblock dirty list to those containing data or
unlogged metadata changes.
However, the timstamp changes are slightly more complex than this -
there are a couple of places that do unlogged updates of the
timestamps, and the VFS need to be informed of these. Hence add a
new function xfs_trans_ichgtime() for transactional changes,
and leave xfs_ichgtime() for the non-transactional changes.

The implementation os ->kill_root only differ by either simply
zeroing out the now unused buffer in the btree cursor in the inode
allocation btree or using xfs_btree_setbuf in the allocation btree.
Initially both of them used xfs_btree_setbuf, but the use in the
ialloc btree was removed early on because it interacted badly with
xfs_trans_binval.
In addition to zeroing out the buffer in the cursor xfs_btree_setbuf
updates the bc_ra array in the btree cursor, and calls
xfs_trans_brelse on the buffer previous occupying the slot.
The bc_ra update should be done for the alloc btree updated too,
although the lack of it does not cause serious problems. The
xfs_trans_brelse call on the other hand is effectively a no-op in
the end - it keeps decrementing the bli_recur refcount until it hits
zero, and then just skips out because the buffer will always be
dirty at this point. So removing it for the allocation btree is
just fine.
So unify the code and move it to xfs_btree.c. While we're at it
also replace the call to xfs_btree_setbuf with a NULL bp argument in
xfs_btree_del_cursor with a direct call to xfs_trans_brelse given
that the cursor is beeing freed just after this and the state
updates are superflous. After this xfs_btree_setbuf is only used
with a non-NULL bp argument and can thus be simplified.

When marking an inode reclaimable, a per-AG counter is increased, the
inode is tagged reclaimable in its per-AG tree, and, when this is the
first reclaimable inode in the AG, the AG entry in the per-mount tree
is also tagged.
When an inode is finally reclaimed, however, it is only deleted from
the per-AG tree. Neither the counter is decreased, nor is the parent
tree's AG entry untagged properly.
Since the tags in the per-mount tree are not cleared, the inode
shrinker iterates over all AGs that have had reclaimable inodes at one
point in time.
The counters on the other hand signal an increasing amount of slab
objects to reclaim. Since "70e60ce xfs: convert inode shrinker to
per-filesystem context" this is not a real issue anymore because the
shrinker bails out after one iteration.
But the problem was observable on a machine running v2.6.34, where the
reclaimable work increased and each process going into direct reclaim
eventually got stuck on the xfs inode shrinking path, trying to scan
several million objects.
Fix this by properly unwinding the reclaimable-state tracking of an
inode when it is reclaimed.

I have been seeing occasional pauses in transaction throughput up to
30s long under heavy parallel workloads. The only notable thing was
that the xfsaild was trying to be active during the pauses, but
making no progress. It was running exactly 20 times a second (on the
50ms no-progress backoff), and the number of pushbuf events was
constant across this time as well. IOWs, the xfsaild appeared to be
stuck on buffers that it could not push out.
Further investigation indicated that it was trying to push out inode
buffers that were pinned and/or locked. The xfsbufd was also getting
woken at the same frequency (by the xfsaild, no doubt) to push out
delayed write buffers. The xfsbufd was not making any progress
because all the buffers in the delwri queue were pinned. This scan-
and-make-no-progress dance went one in the trace for some seconds,
before the xfssyncd came along an issued a log force, and then
things started going again.
However, I noticed something strange about the log force - there
were way too many IO's issued. 516 log buffers were written, to be
exact. That added up to 129MB of log IO, which got me very
interested because it's almost exactly 25% of the size of the log.
He delayed logging code is suppose to aggregate the minimum of 25%
of the log or 8MB worth of changes before flushing. That's what
really puzzled me - why did a log force write 129MB instead of only
8MB?
Essentially what has happened is that no CIL pushes had occurred
since the previous tail push which cleared out 25% of the log space.
That caused all the new transactions to block because there wasn't
log space for them, but they kick the xfsaild to push the tail.
However, the xfsaild was not making progress because there were
buffers it could not lock and flush, and the xfsbufd could not flush
them because they were pinned. As a result, both the xfsaild and the
xfsbufd could not move the tail of the log forward without the CIL
first committing.
The cause of the problem was that the background CIL push, which
should happen when 8MB of aggregated changes have been committed, is
being held off by the concurrent transaction commit load. The
background push does a down_write_trylock() which will fail if there
is a concurrent transaction commit holding the push lock in read
mode. With 8 CPUs all doing transactions as fast as they can, there
was enough concurrent transaction commits to hold off the background
push until tail-pushing could no longer free log space, and the halt
would occur.
It should be noted that there is no reason why it would halt at 25%
of log space used by a single CIL checkpoint. This bug could
definitely violate the "no transaction should be larger than half
the log" requirement and hence result in corruption if the system
crashed under heavy load. This sort of bug is exactly the reason why
delayed logging was tagged as experimental....
The fix is to start blocking background pushes once the threshold
has been exceeded. Rework the threshold calculations to keep the
amount of log space a CIL checkpoint can use to below that of the
AIL push threshold to avoid the problem completely.

The workqueue implementation in 2.6.36-rcX has changed, resulting
in the workqueues no longer having dedicated threads for work

create workloads because the log IO completions have been getting
held up behind metadata IO completions. Hence log commits would
stall, memory allocation would stall because pages could not be
cleaned, and lock contention on the AIL during inode IO completion
processing was being seen to slow everything down even further.
By making the log Io completion workqueue a high priority workqueue,
they are queued ahead of all data/metadata IO completions and
processed before the data/metadata completions. Hence the log never
gets stalled, and operations needed to clean memory can continue as
quickly as possible. This avoids the livelock conditions and allos

bmv_count(fi_extent_max+1) which didn't consider holes. So in the
worst case, if 'out' vector looks like
[hole, extent, hole, extent, hole, ... hole, extent, hole],
we will only return half of fi_extent_max extents.
This patch add a new parameter BMV_IF_NO_HOLES for bvm_iflags.
So with this flags, we don't use our 'out' in xfs_getbmap for
a hole. The solution is a bit ugly by just don't increasing
index of 'out' vector. I felt that it is not easy to skip it
at the very beginning since we have the complicated check and
some function like xfs_getbmapx_fix_eof_hole to adjust 'out'.

If we attempt to preallocate more than 2^32 blocks of space in a
single syscall, the transaction block reservation will overflow
leading to a hangs in the superblock block accounting code. This
is trivially reproduced with xfs_io. Fix the problem by capping the
allocation reservation to the maximum number of blocks a single
xfs_bmapi() call can allocate (2^21 blocks).

Currently on-disk structure is able to keep only 16bit project quota
id, so disallow 32bit ones. This fixes a problem where parts of
kernel structures holding project quota id are 32bit while parts
(on-disk) are 16bit variables which causes project quota member
files to be inaccessible for some operations (like mv/rm).

When doing large parallel file creates on a 16p machines, large amounts of
time is being spent in _xfs_buf_find(). A system wide profile with perf top
shows this:
1134740.00 19.3% _xfs_buf_find
733142.00 12.5% __ticket_spin_lock
The problem is that the hash contains 45,000 buffers, and the hash table width
is only 256 buffers. That means we've got around 200 buffers per chain, and
searching it is quite expensive. The hash table size needs to increase.
Secondly, every time we do a lookup, we promote the buffer we find to the head
of the hash chain. This is causing cachelines to be dirtied and causes
invalidation of cachelines across all CPUs that may have walked the hash chain
recently. hence every walk of the hash chain is effectively a cold cache walk.
Remove the promotion to avoid this invalidation.
The results are:
1045043.00 21.2% __ticket_spin_lock
326184.00 6.6% _xfs_buf_find
A 70% drop in the CPU usage when looking up buffers. Unfortunately that does
not result in an increase in performance underthis workload as contention on
the inode_lock soaks up most of the reduction in CPU usage.

Formatting items requires memory allocation when using delayed
logging. Currently that memory allocation is done while holding the
CIL context lock in read mode. This means that if memory allocation
takes some time (e.g. enters reclaim), we cannot push on the CIL
until the allocation(s) required by formatting complete. This can
stall CIL pushes for some time, and once a push is stalled so are
all new transaction commits.
Fix this splitting the item formatting into two steps. The first
step which does the allocation and memcpy() into the allocated
buffer is now done outside the CIL context lock, and only the CIL
insert is done inside the CIL context lock. This avoids the stall
issue.

Delayed logging adds some serialisation to the log force process to
ensure that it does not deference a bad commit context structure
when determining if a CIL push is necessary or not. It does this by
grabing the CIL context lock exclusively, then dropping it before
pushing the CIL if necessary. This causes serialisation of all log
forces and pushes regardless of whether a force is necessary or not.
As a result fsync heavy workloads (like dbench) can be significantly
slower with delayed logging than without.
To avoid this penalty, copy the current sequence from the context to
the CIL structure when they are swapped. This allows us to do
unlocked checks on the current sequence without having to worry
about dereferencing context structures that may have already been
freed. Hence we can remove the CIL context locking in the forcing
code and only call into the push code if the current context matches
the sequence we need to force.
By passing the sequence into the push code, we can check the
sequence again once we have the CIL lock held exclusive and abort if
the sequence has already been pushed. This avoids a lock round-trip
and unnecessary CIL pushes when we have racing push calls.
The result is that the regression in dbench performance goes away -
this change improves dbench performance on a ramdisk from ~2100MB/s
to ~2500MB/s. This compares favourably to not using delayed logging
which retuns ~2500MB/s for the same workload.

When we need to cover the log, we issue dummy transactions to ensure
the current log tail is on disk. Unfortunately we currently use the
root inode in the dummy transaction, and the act of committing the
transaction dirties the inode at the VFS level.
As a result, the VFS writeback of the dirty inode will prevent the
filesystem from idling long enough for the log covering state
machine to complete. The state machine gets stuck in a loop issuing
new dummy transactions to cover the log and never makes progress.
To avoid this problem, the dummy transactions should not cause
externally visible state changes. To ensure this occurs, make sure
that dummy transactions log an unchanging field in the superblock as
it's state is never propagated outside the filesystem. This allows
the log covering state machine to complete successfully and the
filesystem now correctly enters a fully idle state about 90s after
the last modification was made.

Because of delayed updates to sb_icount field in the super block, it
is possible to allocate over maxicount number of inodes. This
causes the arithmetic to calculate a negative number of free inodes
in user commands like df or stat -f.
Since maxicount is a somewhat arbitrary number, a slight over
allocation is not critical but user commands should be displayed as
0 or greater and never go negative. To do this the value in the
stats buffer f_ffree is capped to never go negative.

During data integrity (WB_SYNC_ALL) writeback, wbc->nr_to_write will
go negative on inodes with more than 1024 dirty pages due to
implementation details of write_cache_pages(). Currently XFS will
abort page clustering in writeback once nr_to_write drops below
zero, and so for data integrity writeback we will do very
inefficient page at a time allocation and IO submission for inodes
with large numbers of dirty pages.
Fix this by only aborting the page clustering code when
wbc->nr_to_write is negative and the sync mode is WB_SYNC_NONE.

Commit 7124fe0a5b ("xfs: validate untrusted inode
numbers during lookup") changes the inode lookup code to do btree lookups for
untrusted inode numbers. This change made an invalid assumption about the
alignment of inodes and hence incorrectly calculated the first inode in the
cluster. As a result, some inode numbers were being incorrectly considered
invalid when they were actually valid.
The issue was not picked up by the xfstests suite because it always runs fsr
and dump (the two utilities that utilise the bulkstat interface) on cache hot
inodes and hence the lookup code in the cold cache path was not sufficiently
exercised to uncover this intermittent problem.
Fix the issue by relaxing the btree lookup criteria and then checking if the
record returned contains the inode number we are lookup for. If it we get an
incorrect record, then the inode number is invalid.

Under heavy load parallel metadata loads (e.g. dbench), we can fail
to mark all the inodes in a cluster being freed as XFS_ISTALE as we
skip inodes we cannot get the XFS_ILOCK_EXCL or the flush lock on.
When this happens and the inode cluster buffer has already been
marked stale and freed, inode reclaim can try to write the inode out
as it is dirty and not marked stale. This can result in writing th
metadata to an freed extent, or in the case it has already
been overwritten trigger a magic number check failure and return an
EUCLEAN error such as:
Filesystem "ram0": inode 0x442ba1 background reclaim flush failed with 117
Fix this by ensuring that we hoover up all in memory inodes in the
cluster and mark them XFS_ISTALE when freeing the cluster.

When we commit a transaction using delayed logging, we need to
unlock the items in the transaciton before we unlock the CIL context
and allow it to be checkpointed. If we unlock them after we release
the CIl context lock, the CIL can checkpoint and complete before
we free the log items. This breaks stale buffer item unlock and
unpin processing as there is an implicit assumption that the unlock
will occur before the unpin.
Also, some log items need to store the LSN of the transaction commit
in the item (inodes and EFIs) and so can race with other transaction
completions if we don't prevent the CIL from checkpointing before
the unlock occurs.

Convert XFS to the new truncate sequence. We still can have errors after
updating the file size in xfs_setattr, but these are real I/O errors and lead
to a transaction abort and filesystem shutdown, so they are not an issue.
Errors from ->write_begin and write_end can now be handled correctly because
we can actually get rid of the delalloc extents while previous the buffer
state was stipped in block_invalidatepage.
There is still no error handling for ->direct_IO, because doing so will need
some major restructuring given that we only have the iolock shared and do not
hold i_mutex at all. Fortunately leaving the normally allocated blocks behind
there is not a major issue and this will get cleaned up by xfs_free_eofblock
later.
Note: the patch is against Al's vfs.git tree as that contains the nessecary
preparations. I'd prefer to get it applied there so that we can get some

Our current handling of direct I/O completions is rather suboptimal,
because we defer it to a workqueue more often than needed, and we
perform a much to aggressive flush of the workqueue in case unwritten

This patch changes the direct I/O reads to not even use a completion
handler, as we don't bother to use it at all, and to perform the unwritten
extent conversions in caller context for synchronous direct I/O.
For a small I/O size direct I/O workload on a consumer grade SSD, such as
the untar of a kernel tree inside qemu this patch gives speedups of
about 5%. Getting us much closer to the speed of a native block device,
or a fully allocated XFS file.

If we write into an unwritten extent using AIO we need to complete the AIO
request after the extent conversion has finished. Without that a read could
race to see see the extent still unwritten and return zeros. For synchronous

might be a bit of overkill).
To do that add iocb and result fields to struct xfs_ioend, so that we can
call aio_complete from xfs_end_io after the extent conversion has happened.
Note that we need a new result field as io_error is used for positive errno
values, while the AIO code can return negative error values and positive
transfer sizes.
