The radix tree based inode caches did away with the inode cluster hashes,
replacing them with a bunch of masking and gang lookups on the radix tree.
This masking got broken when moving the code to per-ag radix trees and
indexing by agino # rather than straight inode number. The result is
clustered inode writeback does not cluster and things can go extremely
slowly when there are lots of inodes to write.
Fix it up by comparing the agino # of the inode we just looked up to the
index of the cluster we are looking for.

- calculation of 'page_count' was incorrect as it did not
consider the offset of 'mem' into the first page. The
logic to bump 'page_count' didn't work if 'len' was <=
PAGE_CACHE_SIZE (ie offset = 3k, len = 2k).
- setting b_buffer_length to 'len' is incorrect if 'offset'
is > 0. Set it to the total length of the buffer.
- I suspect that passing a non-aligned address into
mem_to_page() for the first page may have been causing
issues - don't know but just tidy up that code anyway.

- sanity check for NULL user buffer in xfs_ioc_bulkstat[_compat]()
- remove the special case for XFS_IOC_FSBULKSTAT with count == 1. This
special case causes bulkstat to fail because the special case uses
xfs_bulkstat_single() instead of xfs_bulkstat() and the two functions
have different semantics. xfs_bulkstat() will return the next inode
after the one supplied while skipping internal inodes (ie quota inodes).
xfs_bulkstate_single() will only lookup the inode supplied and return
an error if it is an internal inode.
- in xfs_bulkstat(), need to initialise 'lastino' to the inode supplied
so in cases were we return without examining any inodes the scan wont
restart back at zero.
- sanity check for valid *ubcountp values. Cannot sanity check for valid
ubuffer here because some users of xfs_bulkstat() don't supply a buffer.
- checks against 'ubleft' (the space left in the user's buffer) should be
against 'statstruct_size' which is the supplied minimum object size.
The mixture of checks against statstruct_size and 0 was one of the
reasons we were skipping inodes.
- if the formatter function returns BULKSTAT_RV_NOTHING and an error and
the error is not ENOENT or EINVAL then we need to abort the scan. ENOENT
is for inodes that are no longer valid and we just skip them. EINVAL is
returned if we try to lookup an internal inode so we skip them too. For
a DMF scan if the inode and DMF attribute cannot fit into the space left
in the user's buffer it would return ERANGE. We didn't handle this error
and skipped the inode. We would continue to skip inodes until one fitted
into the user's buffer or we completed the scan.
- put back the recalculation of agino (that got removed with the last fix)
at the end of the while loop. This is because the code at the start of
the loop expects agino to be the last inode examined if it is non-zero.
- if we found some inodes but then encountered an error, return success
this time and the error next time. If the formatter aborted with ENOMEM
we will now return this error but only if we couldn't read any inodes.
Previously if we encountered ENOMEM without reading any inodes we
returned a zero count and no error which falsely indicated the scan was
complete.

549 }
More debug efforts show that __block_write_full_page()
never has the chance to call submit_bh() for that big dirty file:
the buffer head is *clean*. So basicly no page io is issued by
__block_write_full_page(), hence pages_skipped goes up.
Also the comment in generic_sync_sb_inodes():
544 /*
545 * writeback is not making progress due to locked
546 * buffers. Skip this inode for now.
547 */
and the comment in __block_write_full_page():
1713 /*
1714 * The page was marked dirty, but the buffers were
1715 * clean. Someone wrote them back by hand with
1716 * ll_rw_block/submit_bh. A rare case.
1717 */
do not quite agree with each other. The page writeback should be skipped for
'locked buffer', but here it is 'clean buffer'!
This patch fixes this bug. Though I'm not sure why __block_write_full_page()
is called only to do nothing and who actually issued the writeback for us.
This is the two possible new behaviors after the patch:
1) pretty nice: wait 30s and write ALL:)
2) not so good:
- during the dd: ~16M
- after 30s: ~4M
- after 5s: ~4M
- after 5s: ~176M
The next patch will fix case (2).

XFS leaves stray mappings around when it vmaps memory to make it virtually
contigious. This upsets Xen if one of those pages is being recycled into a
pagetable, since it finds an extra writable mapping of the page.
This patch solves the problem in a brute force way, by making XFS always
eagerly unmap its mappings.

In xfs_fs_sync_super() treat a sync the same as a filesystem freeze. This
is needed to force the log to disk for inodes which are not marked dirty
in the Linux inode (the inodes are marked dirty on completion of the log
I/O) and so sync_inodes() will not flush them.
In xfs_fs_write_inode() a synchronous flush will not get an EAGAIN from
xfs_inode_flush() and if an asynchronous flush returns EAGAIN we should
pass it on to the caller. If we get an error while flushing the inode then
re-dirty it so we can try again later.

Here 'agino' increments through the inodes in an allocation group. At the
end of the innermost 'for' loop it will hold the value of the next inode
to look at (ie the first inode in the next cluster/chunk). Assigning
'lastino' to 'agino' resets it to the last inode in the last inode cluster
we just looked at. This causes us to look up the very same cluster and
examine all the inodes all over again, and again, and again...
We also want to set 'lastino' for the cases when we're not interested in
the inode so that the next call to bulkstat won't re-examine the same
uninteresting inodes.

In the following scenario xfs_bulkstat() returns incorrect stale inode
state:
1. File_A is created and its inode synced to disk. 2. File_A is unlinked
and doesn't exist anymore. 3. Filesystem sync is invoked. 4. File_B is
created. File_B happens to reclaim File_A's inode. 5. xfs_bulkstat() is
called and detects File_B but reports the
incorrect File_A inode state.
Explanation for the incorrect inode state is that inodes are not
immediately synced on file create for performance reasons. This leaves the
on-disk inode buffer uninitialized (or with old state from a previous
generation inode) and this is what xfs_bulkstat() would report.
The patch marks the on-disk inode buffer "dirty" on unlink. When the inode
is reclaimed (by a new file create), xfs_bulkstat() would filter this
inode by the "dirty" mark. Once the inode is flushed to disk, the on-disk
buffer "dirty" mark is automatically removed and a following
xfs_bulkstat() would return the correct inode state.
Marking the on-disk inode buffer "dirty" on unlink is achieved by setting
the on-disk di_nlink field to 0. Note that the in-core di_nlink has
already been set to 0 and a corresponding transaction logged by
xfs_droplink(). This is an exception from the rule that any on-disk inode
buffer changes has to be followed by a disk write (inode flush).
Synchronizing the in-core to on-disk di_nlink values in advance (before
the actual inode flush to disk) should be fine in this case because the
inode is already unlinked and it would never change its di_nlink again for
this inode generation.

XFS inodes are dynamically allocated on demand, rather than being
allocated at mkfs time. Chunks of 64 inodes are allocated at once, but
they are never freed. Over time, this can lead to filesystem
fragmentation, clusters of inodes and the btrees which point at them can
be scattered around the system.
By freeing clusters as they are emptied, we will reduce fragmentation of
the free space after removing files. This in turn will allow us to make
better placement decisions when repopulating a filesystem. The
XFSMNT_IDELETE mount option enables freeing clusters when they get empty.
Unfortunately a side effect of freeing inode clusters is that the inode
generation numbers of such inodes would be reset to zero when the cluster
is reclaimed. This is a problem in particular for a DMAPI enabled
filesystem as the the DMAPI handles need to be unique and persistent in
time. An unique DMAPI handle is built with the help of the inode
generation number. When the last one is prematurely reset by an inode
cluster reclaim, there is a high probability of different generation
inodes to end up having identical DMAPI handles.
To avoid the problem with identical DMAPI handles, the XFSMNT_IDELETE
mount option should be set as default, only if the filesystem is not
mounted with XFSMNT_DMAPI.

One of the perpetual scaling problems XFS has is indexing it's incore
inodes. We currently uses hashes and the default hash sizes chosen can
only ever be a tradeoff between memory consumption and the maximum
realistic size of the cache.
As a result, anyone who has millions of inodes cached on a filesystem
needs to tunes the size of the cache via the ihashsize mount option to
allow decent scalability with inode cache operations.
A further problem is the separate inode cluster hash, whose size is based
on the ihashsize but is smaller, and so under certain conditions (sparse
cluster cache population) this can become a limitation long before the
inode hash is causing issues.
The following patchset removes the inode hash and cluster hash and
replaces them with radix trees to avoid the scalability limitations of the
hashes. It also reduces the size of the inodes by 3 pointers....

Currently xfs has a rather complicated internal scheme to allow for
different directory formats in IRIX. This patch rips all code related to
this out and pushes useage of the Linux filldir callback into the lowlevel
directory code. This does not make the code any less portable because
filldir can be used to create dirents of all possible variations
(including the IRIX ones as proved by the IRIX binary emulation code under
arch/mips/).
This patch get rid of an unessecary copy in the readdir path, about 400
lines of code and one of the last two users of the uio structure.
This version is updated to deal with dmapi aswell which greatly simplifies
the get_dirattrs code. The dmapi part has been tested using the
get_dirattrs tools from the xfstest dmapi suite1 with various small and
large directories.

Lachlan McIlroy says:
It tried to fix an issue where log replay is replaying an inode cluster
initialisation transaction that should not be replayed because the inode
cluster on disk is more up to date. Since we don't log file sizes (we
rely on inode flushing to get them to disk) then we can't just replay
all the transations in the log and expect the inode to be completely
restored. We lose file size updates. Unfortunately this fix is causing
more (serious) problems than it is fixing.

locked, and potentially other things. This is not quite the way he wanted
it yet, but that's changed in the next patch (which requires changes to

This means we no longer set VM_CAN_INVALIDATE in the vma in order to say
that a page is locked which requires filemap_nopage to go away (because we
can no longer remain backward compatible without that flag), but we were
going to do that anyway.

Nonlinear mappings are (AFAIKS) simply a virtual memory concept that encodes
the virtual address -> file offset differently from linear mappings.
->populate is a layering violation because the filesystem/pagecache code
should need to know anything about the virtual memory mapping. The hitch here
is that the ->nopage handler didn't pass down enough information (ie. pgoff).
But it is more logical to pass pgoff rather than have the ->nopage function
calculate it itself anyway (because that's a similar layering violation).
Having the populate handler install the pte itself is likewise a nasty thing
to be doing.
This patch introduces a new fault handler that replaces ->nopage and
->populate and (later) ->nopfn. Most of the old mechanism is still in place
so there is a lot of duplication and nice cleanups that can be removed if
everyone switches over.
The rationale for doing this in the first place is that nonlinear mappings are
subject to the pagefault vs invalidate/truncate race too, and it seemed stupid
to duplicate the synchronisation logic rather than just consolidate the two.
After this patch, MAP_NONBLOCK no longer sets up ptes for pages present in
pagecache. Seems like a fringe functionality anyway.
NOPAGE_REFAULT is removed. This should be implemented with ->fault, and no
users have hit mainline yet.

Fix the race between invalidate_inode_pages and do_no_page.
Andrea Arcangeli identified a subtle race between invalidation of pages from
pagecache with userspace mappings, and do_no_page.
The issue is that invalidation has to shoot down all mappings to the page,
before it can be discarded from the pagecache. Between shooting down ptes to
a particular page, and actually dropping the struct page from the pagecache,
do_no_page from any process might fault on that page and establish a new
mapping to the page just before it gets discarded from the pagecache.
The most common case where such invalidation is used is in file truncation.
This case was catered for by doing a sort of open-coded seqlock between the
file's i_size, and its truncate_count.
Truncation will decrease i_size, then increment truncate_count before
unmapping userspace pages; do_no_page will read truncate_count, then find the
page if it is within i_size, and then check truncate_count under the page
table lock and back out and retry if it had subsequently been changed (ptl
will serialise against unmapping, and ensure a potentially updated
truncate_count is actually visible).
Complexity and documentation issues aside, the locking protocol fails in the
case where we would like to invalidate pagecache inside i_size. do_no_page
can come in anytime and filemap_nopage is not aware of the invalidation in
progress (as it is when it is outside i_size). The end result is that
dangling (->mapping == NULL) pages that appear to be from a particular file
may be mapped into userspace with nonsense data. Valid mappings to the same
place will see a different page.
Andrea implemented two working fixes, one using a real seqlock, another using
a page->flags bit. He also proposed using the page lock in do_no_page, but
that was initially considered too heavyweight. However, it is not a global or
per-file lock, and the page cacheline is modified in do_no_page to increment
_count and _mapcount anyway, so a further modification should not be a large
performance hit. Scalability is not an issue.
This patch implements this latter approach. ->nopage implementations return
with the page locked if it is possible for their underlying file to be
invalidated (in that case, they must set a special vm_flags bit to indicate
so). do_no_page only unlocks the page after setting up the mapping
completely. invalidation is excluded because it holds the page lock during
invalidation of each page (and ensures that the page is not mapped while
holding the lock).
This also allows significant simplifications in do_no_page, because we have
the page locked in the right place in the pagecache from the start.

When changing the file size by a truncate() call, we log the change in the
inode size. However, we do not flush any outstanding data that might not
have been written to disk, thereby violating the data/inode size update
order. This can leave files full of NULLs on crash.
Hence if we are truncating the file, flush any unwritten data that may lie
between the curret on disk inode size and the new inode size that is being
logged to ensure that ordering is preserved.

Hook XFS up to ->page_mkwrite to ensure that we know about mmap pages
being written to. This allows use to do correct delayed allocation and
ENOSPC checking as well as remap unwritten extents so that they get
converted correctly during writeback. This is done via the generic
block_page_mkwrite code.

currently the export_operation structure and helpers related to it are in
fs.h. fs.h is already far too large and there are very few places needing the
export bits, so split them off into a separate header.

Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel
threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves. This
approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either
set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't
care for the freezing of tasks at all.
It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to
be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any
freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is
done in this patch.
The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie. to
have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable()
function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to
unset PF_NOFREEZE. It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel
threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional)
change of behaviour to appear. Additionally, it updates documentation to
describe the freezing of tasks more accurately.

I can never remember what the function to register to receive VM pressure
is called. I have to trace down from __alloc_pages() to find it.
It's called "set_shrinker()", and it needs Your Help.
1) Don't hide struct shrinker. It contains no magic.
2) Don't allocate "struct shrinker". It's not helpful.
3) Call them "register_shrinker" and "unregister_shrinker".
4) Call the function "shrink" not "shrinker".
5) Reduce the 17 lines of waffly comments to 13, but document it properly.
