[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).

/*
* Allocation group filestream associations are tracked with per-ag atomic
* counters. These counters allow _xfs_filestream_pick_ag() to tell whether a
* particular AG already has active filestreams associated with it. The mount
* point's m_peraglock is used to protect these counters from per-ag array
* re-allocation during a growfs operation. When xfs_growfs_data_private() is
* about to reallocate the array, it calls xfs_filestream_flush() with the
* m_peraglock held in write mode.
*
* Since xfs_mru_cache_flush() guarantees that all the free functions for all
* the cache elements have finished executing before it returns, it's safe for
* the free functions to use the atomic counters without m_peraglock protection.
* This allows the implementation of xfs_fstrm_free_func() to be agnostic about
* whether it was called with the m_peraglock held in read mode, write mode or
* not held at all. The race condition this addresses is the following:
*
* - The work queue scheduler fires and pulls a filestream directory cache
* element off the LRU end of the cache for deletion, then gets pre-empted.
* - A growfs operation grabs the m_peraglock in write mode, flushes all the
* remaining items from the cache and reallocates the mount point's per-ag
* array, resetting all the counters to zero.
* - The work queue thread resumes and calls the free function for the element
* it started cleaning up earlier. In the process it decrements the
* filestreams counter for an AG that now has no references.
*
* With a shrinkfs feature, the above scenario could panic the system.
*
* All other uses of the following macros should be protected by either the
* m_peraglock held in read mode, or the cache's internal locking exposed by the
* interval between a call to xfs_mru_cache_lookup() and a call to
* xfs_mru_cache_done(). In addition, the m_peraglock must be held in read mode
* when new elements are added to the cache.
*
* Combined, these locking rules ensure that no associations will ever exist in
* the cache that reference per-ag array elements that have since been
* reallocated.
