While auditing the realtime growfs code, I realized that the GROWFSRT
ioctl (and by extension xfs_growfs) has always allowed sysadmins to
change the realtime extent size when adding a realtime section to the
filesystem. Since we also have always allowed sysadmins to set
RTINHERIT and EXTSZINHERIT on directories even if there is no realtime
device, this invalidates the premise laid out in the comments added in
commit 603f000b15.
In other words, this is not a case of inadequate metadata validation.
This is a case of nearly forgotten (and apparently untested) but
supported functionality. Update the comments to reflect what we've
learned, and remove the log message about correcting the misalignment.

The RTINHERIT bit can be set on a directory so that newly created
regular files will have the REALTIME bit set to store their data on the
realtime volume. If an extent size hint (and EXTSZINHERIT) are set on
the directory, the hint will also be copied into the new file.
As pointed out in previous patches, for realtime files we require the
extent size hint be an integer multiple of the realtime extent, but we
don't perform the same validation on a directory with both RTINHERIT and
EXTSZINHERIT set, even though the only use-case of that combination is
to propagate extent size hints into new realtime files. This leads to
inode corruption errors when the bad values are propagated.
Because there may be existing filesystems with such a configuration, we
cannot simply amend the inode verifier to trip on these directories and
call it a day because that will cause previously "working" filesystems
to start throwing errors abruptly. Note that it's valid to have
directories with rtinherit set even if there is no realtime volume, in
which case the problem does not manifest because rtinherit is ignored if
there's no realtime device; and it's possible that someone set the flag,
crashed, repaired the filesystem (which clears the hint on the realtime
file) and continued.
Therefore, mitigate this issue in several ways: First, if we try to
write out an inode with both rtinherit/extszinherit set and an unaligned
extent size hint, turn off the hint to correct the error. Second, if
someone tries to misconfigure a directory via the fssetxattr ioctl, fail
the ioctl. Third, reverify both extent size hint values when we
propagate heritable inode attributes from parent to child, to prevent
misconfigurations from spreading.

Rather than attach inodes to the cluster buffer just when we are
doing IO, attach the inodes to the cluster buffer when they are
dirtied. The means the buffer always carries a list of dirty inodes
that reference it, and we can use that list to make more fundamental
changes to inode writeback that aren't otherwise possible.

When we dirty an inode, we are going to have to write it disk at
some point in the near future. This requires the inode cluster
backing buffer to be present in memory. Unfortunately, under severe
memory pressure we can reclaim the inode backing buffer while the
inode is dirty in memory, resulting in stalling the AIL pushing
because it has to do a read-modify-write cycle on the cluster
buffer.
When we have no memory available, the read of the cluster buffer
blocks the AIL pushing process, and this causes all sorts of issues
for memory reclaim as it requires inode writeback to make forwards
progress. Allocating a cluster buffer causes more memory pressure,
and results in more cluster buffers to be reclaimed, resulting in
more RMW cycles to be done in the AIL context and everything then
backs up on AIL progress. Only the synchronous inode cluster
writeback in the the inode reclaim code provides some level of
forwards progress guarantees that prevent OOM-killer rampages in
this situation.
Fix this by pinning the inode backing buffer to the inode log item
when the inode is first dirtied (i.e. in xfs_trans_log_inode()).
This may mean the first modification of an inode that has been held
in cache for a long time may block on a cluster buffer read, but
we can do that in transaction context and block safely until the
buffer has been allocated and read.
Once we have the cluster buffer, the inode log item takes a
reference to it, pinning it in memory, and attaches it to the log
item for future reference. This means we can always grab the cluster
buffer from the inode log item when we need it.
When the inode is finally cleaned and removed from the AIL, we can
drop the reference the inode log item holds on the cluster buffer.
Once all inodes on the cluster buffer are clean, the cluster buffer
will be unpinned and it will be available for memory reclaim to
reclaim again.
This avoids the issues with needing to do RMW cycles in the AIL
pushing context, and hence allows complete non-blocking inode
flushing to be performed by the AIL pushing context.

The inode log item is kind of special in that it can be aggregating
new changes in memory at the same time time existing changes are
being written back to disk. This means there are fields in the log
item that are accessed concurrently from contexts that don't share
any locking at all.
e.g. updating ili_last_fields occurs at flush time under the
ILOCK_EXCL and flush lock at flush time, under the flush lock at IO
completion time, and is read under the ILOCK_EXCL when the inode is
logged. Hence there is no actual serialisation between reading the
field during logging of the inode in transactions vs clearing the
field in IO completion.
We currently get away with this by the fact that we are only
clearing fields in IO completion, and nothing bad happens if we
accidentally log more of the inode than we actually modify. Worst
case is we consume a tiny bit more memory and log bandwidth.
However, if we want to do more complex state manipulations on the
log item that requires updates at all three of these potential
locations, we need to have some mechanism of serialising those
operations. To do this, introduce a spinlock into the log item to
serialise internal state.
This could be done via the xfs_inode i_flags_lock, but this then
leads to potential lock inversion issues where inode flag updates
need to occur inside locks that best nest inside the inode log item
locks (e.g. marking inodes stale during inode cluster freeing).
Using a separate spinlock avoids these sorts of problems and
simplifies future code.
This does not touch the use of ili_fields in the item formatting
code - that is entirely protected by the ILOCK_EXCL at this point in
time, so it remains untouched.

In tracking down a problem in this patchset, I discovered we are
reclaiming dirty stale inodes. This wasn't discovered until inodes
were always attached to the cluster buffer and then the rcu callback
that freed inodes was assert failing because the inode still had an
active pointer to the cluster buffer after it had been reclaimed.
Debugging the issue indicated that this was a pre-existing issue
resulting from the way the inodes are handled in xfs_inactive_ifree.
When we free a cluster buffer from xfs_ifree_cluster, all the inodes
in cache are marked XFS_ISTALE. Those that are clean have nothing
else done to them and so eventually get cleaned up by background
reclaim. i.e. it is assumed we'll never dirty/relog an inode marked
XFS_ISTALE.
On journal commit dirty stale inodes as are handled by both
buffer and inode log items to run though xfs_istale_done() and
removed from the AIL (buffer log item commit) or the log item will
simply unpin it because the buffer log item will clean it. What happens
to any specific inode is entirely dependent on which log item wins
the commit race, but the result is the same - stale inodes are
clean, not attached to the cluster buffer, and not in the AIL. Hence
inode reclaim can just free these inodes without further care.
However, if the stale inode is relogged, it gets dirtied again and
relogged into the CIL. Most of the time this isn't an issue, because
relogging simply changes the inode's location in the current
checkpoint. Problems arise, however, when the CIL checkpoints
between two transactions in the xfs_inactive_ifree() deferops
processing. This results in the XFS_ISTALE inode being redirtied
and inserted into the CIL without any of the other stale cluster
buffer infrastructure being in place.
Hence on journal commit, it simply gets unpinned, so it remains
dirty in memory. Everything in inode writeback avoids XFS_ISTALE
inodes so it can't be written back, and it is not tracked in the AIL
so there's not even a trigger to attempt to clean the inode. Hence
the inode just sits dirty in memory until inode reclaim comes along,
sees that it is XFS_ISTALE, and goes to reclaim it. This reclaiming
of a dirty inode caused use after free, list corruptions and other
nasty issues later in this patchset.
Hence this patch addresses a violation of the "never log XFS_ISTALE
inodes" caused by the deferops processing rolling a transaction
and relogging a stale inode in xfs_inactive_free. It also adds a
bunch of asserts to catch this problem in debug kernels so that
we don't reintroduce this problem in future.
Reproducer for this issue was generic/558 on a v4 filesystem.

The only use of I_DIRTY_TIME_EXPIRE is to detect in
__writeback_single_inode() that inode got there because flush worker
decided it's time to writeback the dirty inode time stamps (either
because we are syncing or because of age). However we can detect this
directly in __writeback_single_inode() and there's no need for the
strange propagation with I_DIRTY_TIME_EXPIRE flag.
