aa38572954 fs: pass exact type of data dirties to ->dirty_inode
Tell the filesystem if we just updated timestamp (I_DIRTY_SYNC) or
anything else, so that the filesystem can track internally if it
needs to push out a transaction for fdatasync or not.

This is just the prototype change with no user for it yet.  I plan
to push large XFS changes for the next merge window, and getting
this trivial infrastructure in this window would help a lot to avoid
tree interdependencies.

Also remove incorrect comments that ->dirty_inode can't block.  That
has been changed a long time ago, and many implementations rely on it.

e84661aa84 xfs: add online discard support
Now that we have reliably tracking of deleted extents in a
transaction we can easily implement "online" discard support
which calls blkdev_issue_discard once a transaction commits.

The actual discard is a two stage operation as we first have
to mark the busy extent as not available for reuse before we
can start the actual discard.  Note that we don't bother
supporting discard for the non-delaylog mode.

44396476a0 xfs: reset buffer pointers before freeing them
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.

ee58abdfcc xfs: avoid getting stuck during async inode flushes
When the underlying inode buffer is locked and xfs_sync_inode_attr()
is doing a non-blocking flush, xfs_iflush() can return EAGAIN.  When
this happens, clear the error rather than returning it to
xfs_inode_ag_walk(), as returning EAGAIN will result in the AG walk
delaying for a short while and trying again. This can result in
background walks getting stuck on the one AG until inode buffer is
unlocked by some other means.

This behaviour was noticed when analysing event traces followed by
code inspection and verification of the fix via further traces.

b223221956 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....

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

unconditionally, and thus avoid log forces especially for allocation btree

e26f0501cf xfs: do not immediately reuse busy extent ranges
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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

a19fb38096 vmap: flush vmap aliases when mapping fails
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

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.

dumping and assert function can be moved into the new printk module,
while the rest can be moved into top-level header files. This allows
fs/xfs/support/debug.[ch] to be completely removed from the

af24ee9ea8 xfs: zero proper structure size for geometry calls
Commit 493f3358cb added this call to
xfs_fs_geometry() in order to avoid passing kernel stack data back
to user space:

+       memset(geo, 0, sizeof(*geo));

Unfortunately, one of the callers of that function passes the
address of a smaller data type, cast to fit the type that
xfs_fs_geometry() requires.  As a result, this can happen:

Kernel panic - not syncing: stack-protector: Kernel stack is corrupted
in: f87aca93

Pid: 262, comm: xfs_fsr Not tainted 2.6.38-rc6-493f3358cb2+ #1
Call Trace:

Fix this by fixing that one caller to pass the right type and then
copy out the subset it is interested in.

Eric Sandeen.

10e38391c0 xfs: introduce new logging API.
Most of the logging infrastructure in XFS is unneccessary and
designed around the infrastructure supplied by Irix rather than
Linux. To rationalise the logging interfaces, start by introducing
simple printk wrappers similar to the dev_printk() infrastructure.
Later patches will convert code to use this new interface.

be715140b5 xfs: check if device support discard in xfs_ioc_trim()
Right now we, are relying on the fact that when we attempt to
actually do the discard, blkdev_issue_discar() returns -EOPNOTSUPP
and the user is informed that the device does not support discard.

However, in the case where the we do not hit any suitable free
extent to trim in FITRIM code, it will finish without any error.
This is very confusing, because it seems that FITRIM was successful
even though the device does not actually supports discard.

Solution: Check for the discard support before attempt to search for
free extents.
