For the rmap btree to work, we have to feed the extent owner
information to the the allocation and freeing functions. This
information is what will end up in the rmap btree that tracks
allocated extents. While we technically don't need the owner
information when freeing extents, passing it allows us to validate
that the extent we are removing from the rmap btree actually
belonged to the owner we expected it to belong to.
We also define a special set of owner values for internal metadata
that would otherwise have no owner. This allows us to tell the
difference between metadata owned by different per-ag btrees, as
well as static fs metadata (e.g. AG headers) and internal journal
blocks.
There are also a couple of special cases we need to take care of -
during EFI recovery, we don't actually know who the original owner
was, so we need to pass a wildcard to indicate that we aren't
checking the owner for validity. We also need special handling in
growfs, as we "free" the space in the last AG when extending it, but
because it's new space it has no actual owner...
While touching the xfs_bmap_add_free() function, re-order the
parameters to put the struct xfs_mount first.
Extend the owner field to include both the owner type and some sort
of index within the owner. The index field will be used to support
reverse mappings when reflink is enabled.
When we're freeing extents from an EFI, we don't have the owner
information available (rmap updates have their own redo items).
xfs_free_extent therefore doesn't need to do an rmap update. Make
sure that the log replay code signals this correctly.
This is based upon a patch originally from Dave Chinner. It has been
extended to add more owner information with the intent of helping
recovery operations when things go wrong (e.g. offset of user data
block in a file).

One of the problems we currently have with delayed logging is that
under serious memory pressure we can deadlock memory reclaim. THis
occurs when memory reclaim (such as run by kswapd) is reclaiming XFS
inodes and issues a log force to unpin inodes that are dirty in the
CIL.
The CIL is pushed, but this will only occur once it gets the CIL
context lock to ensure that all committing transactions are complete
and no new transactions start being committed to the CIL while the
push switches to a new context.
The deadlock occurs when the CIL context lock is held by a
committing process that is doing memory allocation for log vector
buffers, and that allocation is then blocked on memory reclaim
making progress. Memory reclaim, however, is blocked waiting for
a log force to make progress, and so we effectively deadlock at this
point.
To solve this problem, we have to move the CIL log vector buffer
allocation outside of the context lock so that memory reclaim can
always make progress when it needs to force the log. The problem
with doing this is that a CIL push can take place while we are
determining if we need to allocate a new log vector buffer for
an item and hence the current log vector may go away without
warning. That means we canot rely on the existing log vector being
present when we finally grab the context lock and so we must have a
replacement buffer ready to go at all times.
To ensure this, introduce a "shadow log vector" buffer that is
always guaranteed to be present when we gain the CIL context lock
and format the item. This shadow buffer may or may not be used
during the formatting, but if the log item does not have an existing
log vector buffer or that buffer is too small for the new
modifications, we swap it for the new shadow buffer and format
the modifications into that new log vector buffer.
The result of this is that for any object we modify more than once
in a given CIL checkpoint, we double the memory required
to track dirty regions in the log. For single modifications then
we consume the shadow log vectorwe allocate on commit, and that gets
consumed by the checkpoint. However, if we make multiple
modifications, then the second transaction commit will allocate a
shadow log vector and hence we will end up with double the memory
usage as only one of the log vectors is consumed by the CIL
checkpoint. The remaining shadow vector will be freed when th elog
item is freed.
This can probably be optimised in future - access to the shadow log
vector is serialised by the object lock (as opposited to the active
log vector, which is controlled by the CIL context lock) and so we
can probably free shadow log vector from some objects when the log
item is marked clean on removal from the AIL.

Log recovery attempts to free extents with leftover EFIs in the AIL
after initial processing. If the extent free fails (e.g., due to
unrelated fs corruption), the transaction is cancelled, though it
might not be dirtied at the time. If this is the case, the EFD does
not abort and thus does not release the EFI. This can lead to hangs
as the EFI pins the AIL.
Update xlog_recover_process_efi() to log the EFD in the transaction
before xfs_free_extent() errors are handled to ensure the
transaction is dirty, aborts the EFD and releases the EFI on error.
Since this is a requirement for EFD processing (and consistent with
xfs_bmap_finish()), update the EFD logging helper to do the extent
free and unconditionally log the EFD. This encodes the required EFD
logging behavior into the helper and reduces the likelihood of
errors down the road.

Release of the EFI either occurs based on the reference count or the
extent count. The extent count used is either the count tracked in
the EFI or EFD, depending on the particular situation. In either
case, the count is initialized to the final value and thus always
matches the current efi_next_extent value once the EFI is completely
constructed. For example, the EFI extent count is increased as the
extents are logged in xfs_bmap_finish() and the full free list is
always completely processed. Therefore, the count is guaranteed to
be complete once the EFI transaction is committed. The EFD uses the
efd_nextents counter to release the EFI. This counter is initialized
to the count of the EFI when the EFD is created. Thus the EFD, as
currently used, has no concept of partial EFI release based on
extent count.
Given that the EFI extent count is always released in whole, use of
the extent count for reference counting is unnecessary. Remove this
level of the API and release the EFI based on the core reference
count. The efi_next_extent counter remains because it is still used
to track the slot to log the next extent to free.

If we have a buffer that we have modified but we do not wish to
physically log in a transaction (e.g. we've logged a logical
change), we still need to ensure that transactional integrity is
maintained. Hence we must not move the tail of the log past the
transaction that the buffer is associated with before the buffer is
written to disk.
This means these special buffers still need to be included in the
transaction and added to the AIL just like a normal buffer, but we
do not want the modifications to the buffer written into the
transaction. IOWs, what we want is an "ordered buffer" that
maintains the same transactional life cycle as a physically logged
buffer, just without the transcribing of the modifications to the
log.
Hence we need to flag the buffer as an "ordered buffer" to avoid
including it in vector size calculations or formatting during the
transaction. Once the transaction is committed, the buffer appears
for all intents to be the same as a physically logged buffer as it
transitions through the log and AIL.
Relogging will also work just fine for such an ordered buffer - the
logical transaction will be replayed before the subsequent
modifications that relog the buffer, so everything will be
reconstructed correctly by recovery.

To separate the verifiers from iodone functions and associate read
and write verifiers at the same time, introduce a buffer verifier
operations structure to the xfs_buf.
This avoids the need for assigning the write verifier, clearing the
iodone function and re-running ioend processing in the read
verifier, and gets rid of the nasty "b_pre_io" name for the write
verifier function pointer. If we ever need to, it will also be
easier to add further content specific callbacks to a buffer with an
ops structure in place.
We also avoid needing to export verifier functions, instead we
can simply export the ops structures for those that are needed
outside the function they are defined in.
This patch also fixes a directory block readahead verifier issue

Add a verifier function callback capability to the buffer read
interfaces. This will be used by the callers to supply a function
that verifies the contents of the buffer when it is read from disk.
This patch does not provide callback functions, but simply modifies
the interfaces to allow them to be called.
The reason for adding this to the read interfaces is that it is very
difficult to tell fom the outside is a buffer was just read from
disk or whether we just pulled it out of cache. Supplying a callbck
allows the buffer cache to use it's internal knowledge of the buffer
to execute it only when the buffer is read from disk.
It is intended that the verifier functions will mark the buffer with
an EFSCORRUPTED error when verification fails. This allows the
reading context to distinguish a verification error from an IO
error, and potentially take further actions on the buffer (e.g.
attempt repair) based on the error reported.

Queue delwri buffers on a local on-stack list instead of a per-buftarg one,
and write back the buffers per-process instead of by waking up xfsbufd.
This is now easily doable given that we have very few places left that write
delwri buffers:
- log recovery:
Only done at mount time, and already forcing out the buffers
synchronously using xfs_flush_buftarg
- quotacheck:
Same story.
- dquot reclaim:
Writes out dirty dquots on the LRU under memory pressure. We might
want to look into doing more of this via xfsaild, but it's already
more optimal than the synchronous inode reclaim that writes each
buffer synchronously.
- xfsaild:
This is the main beneficiary of the change. By keeping a local list
of buffers to write we reduce latency of writing out buffers, and
more importably we can remove all the delwri list promotions which
were hitting the buffer cache hard under sustained metadata loads.
The implementation is very straight forward - xfs_buf_delwri_queue now gets
a new list_head pointer that it adds the delwri buffers to, and all callers
need to eventually submit the list using xfs_buf_delwi_submit or
xfs_buf_delwi_submit_nowait. Buffers that already are on a delwri list are
skipped in xfs_buf_delwri_queue, assuming they already are on another delwri
list. The biggest change to pass down the buffer list was done to the AIL
pushing. Now that we operate on buffers the trylock, push and pushbuf log
item methods are merged into a single push routine, which tries to lock the
item, and if possible add the buffer that needs writeback to the buffer list.
This leads to much simpler code than the previous split but requires the
individual IOP_PUSH instances to unlock and reacquire the AIL around calls
to blocking routines.
Given that xfsailds now also handle writing out buffers, the conditions for
log forcing and the sleep times needed some small changes. The most
important one is that we consider an AIL busy as long we still have buffers
to push, and the other one is that we do increment the pushed LSN for
buffers that are under flushing at this moment, but still count them towards
the stuck items for restart purposes. Without this we could hammer on stuck
items without ever forcing the log and not make progress under heavy random
delete workloads on fast flash storage devices.
[ Dave Chinner:

- improved comments for XBF_DELWRI_Q handling
- fix XBF_ASYNC handling in queue submission (test 106 failure)
- rename delwri submit function buffer list parameters for clarity

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.

Currently we track log item descriptor belonging to a transaction using a
complex opencoded chunk allocator. This code has been there since day one
and seems to work around the lack of an efficient slab allocator.
This patch replaces it with dynamically allocated log item descriptors
from a dedicated slab pool, linked to the transaction by a linked list.
This allows to greatly simplify the log item descriptor tracking to the
point where it's just a couple hundred lines in xfs_trans.c instead of
a separate file. The external API has also been simplified while we're
at it - the xfs_trans_add_item and xfs_trans_del_item functions to add/
delete items from a transaction have been simplified to the bare minium,
and the xfs_trans_find_item function is replaced with a direct dereference
of the li_desc field. All debug code walking the list of log items in
a transaction is down to a simple list_for_each_entry.
Note that we could easily use a singly linked list here instead of the
double linked list from list.h as the fastpath only does deletion from
sequential traversal. But given that we don't have one available as
a library function yet I use the list.h functions for simplicity.

With delayed logging, we can get inode allocation buffers in the
same transaction inode unlink buffers. We don't currently mark inode
allocation buffers in the log, so inode unlink buffers take
precedence over allocation buffers.
The result is that when they are combined into the same checkpoint,
only the unlinked inode chain fields are replayed, resulting in
uninitialised inode buffers being detected when the next inode
modification is replayed.
To fix this, we need to ensure that we do not set the inode buffer
flag in the buffer log item format flags if the inode allocation has
not already hit the log. To avoid requiring a change to log
recovery, we really need to make this a modification that relies
only on in-memory sate.
We can do this by checking during buffer log formatting (while the
CIL cannot be flushed) if we are still in the same sequence when we
commit the unlink transaction as the inode allocation transaction.
If we are, then we do not add the inode buffer flag to the buffer
log format item flags. This means the entire buffer will be
replayed, not just the unlinked fields. We do this while
CIL flusheѕ are locked out to ensure that we don't race with the
sequence numbers changing and hence fail to put the inode buffer
flag in the buffer format flags when we really need to.

The delayed logging code only changes in-memory structures and as
such can be enabled and disabled with a mount option. Add the mount
option and emit a warning that this is an experimental feature that
should not be used in production yet.
We also need infrastructure to track committed items that have not
yet been written to the log. This is what the Committed Item List
(CIL) is for.
The log item also needs to be extended to track the current log
vector, the associated memory buffer and it's location in the Commit
Item List. Extend the log item and log vector structures to enable
this tracking.
To maintain the current log format for transactions with delayed
logging, we need to introduce a checkpoint transaction and a context
for tracking each checkpoint from initiation to transaction
completion. This includes adding a log ticket for tracking space
log required/used by the context checkpoint.
To track all the changes we need an io vector array per log item,
rather than a single array for the entire transaction. Using the new
log vector structure for this requires two passes - the first to
allocate the log vector structures and chain them together, and the
second to fill them out. This log vector chain can then be passed
to the CIL for formatting, pinning and insertion into the CIL.
Formatting of the log vector chain is relatively simple - it's just
a loop over the iovecs on each log vector, but it is made slightly
more complex because we re-write the iovec after the copy to point
back at the memory buffer we just copied into.
This code also needs to pin log items. If the log item is not
already tracked in this checkpoint context, then it needs to be
pinned. Otherwise it is already pinned and we don't need to pin it
again.
The only other complexity is calculating the amount of new log space
the formatting has consumed. This needs to be accounted to the
transaction in progress, and the accounting is made more complex
becase we need also to steal space from it for log metadata in the
checkpoint transaction. Calculate all this at insert time and update
all the tickets, counters, etc correctly.
Once we've formatted all the log items in the transaction, attach
the busy extents to the checkpoint context so the busy extents live
until checkpoint completion and can be processed at that point in
time. Transactions can then be freed at this point in time.
Now we need to issue checkpoints - we are tracking the amount of log space
used by the items in the CIL, so we can trigger background checkpoints when the
space usage gets to a certain threshold. Otherwise, checkpoints need ot be
triggered when a log synchronisation point is reached - a log force event.
Because the log write code already handles chained log vectors, writing the
transaction is trivial, too. Construct a transaction header, add it
to the head of the chain and write it into the log, then issue a
commit record write. Then we can release the checkpoint log ticket
and attach the context to the log buffer so it can be called during
Io completion to complete the checkpoint.
We also need to allow for synchronising multiple in-flight
checkpoints. This is needed for two things - the first is to ensure
that checkpoint commit records appear in the log in the correct
sequence order (so they are replayed in the correct order). The
second is so that xfs_log_force_lsn() operates correctly and only
flushes and/or waits for the specific sequence it was provided with.
To do this we need a wait variable and a list tracking the
checkpoint commits in progress. We can walk this list and wait for
the checkpoints to change state or complete easily, an this provides
the necessary synchronisation for correct operation in both cases.

When we free a metadata extent, we record it in the per-AG busy
extent array so that it is not re-used before the freeing
transaction hits the disk. This array is fixed size, so when it
overflows we make further allocation transactions synchronous
because we cannot track more freed extents until those transactions
hit the disk and are completed. Under heavy mixed allocation and
freeing workloads with large log buffers, we can overflow this array
quite easily.
Further, the array is sparsely populated, which means that inserts
need to search for a free slot, and array searches often have to
search many more slots that are actually used to check all the
busy extents. Quite inefficient, really.
To enable this aspect of extent freeing to scale better, we need
a structure that can grow dynamically. While in other areas of
XFS we have used radix trees, the extents being freed are at random
locations on disk so are better suited to being indexed by an rbtree.
So, use a per-AG rbtree indexed by block number to track busy
extents. This incures a memory allocation when marking an extent
busy, but should not occur too often in low memory situations. This
should scale to an arbitrary number of extents so should not be a
limitation for features such as in-memory aggregation of
transactions.
However, there are still situations where we can't avoid allocating
busy extents (such as allocation from the AGFL). To minimise the
overhead of such occurences, we need to avoid doing a synchronous
log force while holding the AGF locked to ensure that the previous
transactions are safely on disk before we use the extent. We can do
this by marking the transaction doing the allocation as synchronous
rather issuing a log force.
Because of the locking involved and the ordering of transactions,
the synchronous transaction provides the same guarantees as a
synchronous log force because it ensures that all the prior
transactions are already on disk when the synchronous transaction
hits the disk. i.e. it preserves the free->allocate order of the
extent correctly in recovery.
By doing this, we avoid holding the AGF locked while log writes are
in progress, hence reducing the length of time the lock is held and
therefore we increase the rate at which we can allocate and free
from the allocation group, thereby increasing overall throughput.
The only problem with this approach is that when a metadata buffer is
marked stale (e.g. a directory block is removed), then buffer remains
pinned and locked until the log goes to disk. The issue here is that
if that stale buffer is reallocated in a subsequent transaction, the
attempt to lock that buffer in the transaction will hang waiting
the log to go to disk to unlock and unpin the buffer. Hence if
someone tries to lock a pinned, stale, locked buffer we need to
push on the log to get it unlocked ASAP. Effectively we are trading
off a guaranteed log force for a much less common trigger for log
force to occur.
Ideally we should not reallocate busy extents. That is a much more
complex fix to the problem as it involves direct intervention in the
allocation btree searches in many places. This is left to a future
set of modifications.
Finally, now that we track busy extents in allocated memory, we
don't need the descriptors in the transaction structure to point to
them. We can replace the complex busy chunk infrastructure with a
simple linked list of busy extents. This allows us to remove a large
chunk of code, making the overall change a net reduction in code
size.

All buffers logged into the AIL are marked as delayed write.
When the AIL needs to push the buffer out, it issues an async write of the
buffer. This means that IO patterns are dependent on the order of
buffers in the AIL.
Instead of flushing the buffer, promote the buffer in the delayed
write list so that the next time the xfsbufd is run the buffer will
be flushed by the xfsbufd. Return the state to the xfsaild that the
buffer was promoted so that the xfsaild knows that it needs to cause
the xfsbufd to run to flush the buffers that were promoted.
Using the xfsbufd for issuing the IO allows us to dispatch all
buffer IO from the one queue. This means that we can make much more
enlightened decisions on what order to flush buffers to disk as
we don't have multiple places issuing IO. Optimisations to xfsbufd

When completing I/O requests we must not allow the memory allocator to
recurse into the filesystem, as we might deadlock on waiting for the
I/O completion otherwise. The only thing currently allocating normal
GFP_KERNEL memory is the allocation of the transaction structure for
the unwritten extent conversion. Add a memflags argument to
_xfs_trans_alloc to allow controlling the allocator behaviour.

The guarantees for O_SYNC are exactly the same as the ones we need to
make for an fsync call (and given that Linux O_SYNC is O_DSYNC the
equivalent is fdadatasync, but we treat both the same in XFS), except
with a range data writeout. Jan Kara has started unifying these two
path for filesystems using the generic helpers, and I've started to
look at XFS.
The actual transaction commited by xfs_fsync and xfs_write_sync_logforce
has a different transaction number, but actually is exactly the same.
We'll only use the fsync transaction going forward. One major difference
is that xfs_write_sync_logforce never issues a cache flush unless we
commit a transaction causing that as a side-effect, which is an obvious
bug in the O_SYNC handling. Second all the locking and i_update_size
vs i_update_core changes from 978b723712
never made it to xfs_write_sync_logforce, so we add them back.
To make xfs_fsync easily usable from the O_SYNC path, the filemap_fdatawait
call is moved up to xfs_file_fsync, so that we don't wait on the whole
file after we already waited for our portion in xfs_write.
We'll also use a plain call to filemap_write_and_wait_range instead
of the previous sync_page_rang which did it in two steps including
an half-hearted inode write out that doesn't help us.
Once we're done with this also remove the now useless i_update_size
tracking.

Change all the remaining AIL API functions that are passed struct
xfs_mount pointers to pass pointers directly to the struct xfs_ail being
used. With this conversion, all external access to the AIL is via the
struct xfs_ail. Hence the operation and referencing of the AIL is almost
entirely independent of the xfs_mount that is using it - it is now much
more tightly tied to the log and the items it is tracking in the log than
it is tied to the xfs_mount.

With the new cursor interface, it makes sense to make all the traversing
code use the cursor interface and make the old one go away. This means
more of the AIL interfacing is done by passing struct xfs_ail pointers
around the place instead of struct xfs_mount pointers.
We can replace the use of xfs_trans_first_ail() in xfs_log_need_covered()
as it is only checking if the AIL is empty. We can do that with a call to
xfs_trans_ail_tail() instead, where a zero LSN returned indicates and
empty AIL...

When many hundreds to thousands of threads all try to do simultaneous
transactions and the log is in a tail-pushing situation (i.e. full), we
can get multiple threads walking the AIL list and contending on the AIL
lock.
The AIL push is, in effect, a simple I/O dispatch algorithm complicated by
the ordering constraints placed on it by the transaction subsystem. It
really does not need multiple threads to push on it - even when only a
single CPU is pushing the AIL, it can push the I/O out far faster that
pretty much any disk subsystem can handle.
So, to avoid contention problems stemming from multiple list walkers, move
the list walk off into another thread and simply provide a "target" to
push to. When a thread requires a push, it sets the target and wakes the
push thread, then goes to sleep waiting for the required amount of space
to become available in the log.
This mechanism should also be a lot fairer under heavy load as the waiters
will queue in arrival order, rather than queuing in "who completed a push
first" order.
Also, by moving the pushing to a separate thread we can do more
effectively overload detection and prevention as we can keep context from
loop iteration to loop iteration. That is, we can push only part of the
list each loop and not have to loop back to the start of the list every
time we run. This should also help by reducing the number of items we try
to lock and/or push items that we cannot move.
Note that this patch is not intended to solve the inefficiencies in the
AIL structure and the associated issues with extremely large list
contents. That needs to be addresses separately; parallel access would
cause problems to any new structure as well, so I'm only aiming to isolate
the structure from unbounded parallelism here.

When we have a couple of hundred transactions on the fly at once, they all
typically modify the on disk superblock in some way.
create/unclink/mkdir/rmdir modify inode counts, allocation/freeing modify
free block counts.
When these counts are modified in a transaction, they must eventually lock
the superblock buffer and apply the mods. The buffer then remains locked
until the transaction is committed into the incore log buffer. The result
of this is that with enough transactions on the fly the incore superblock
buffer becomes a bottleneck.
The result of contention on the incore superblock buffer is that
transaction rates fall - the more pressure that is put on the superblock
buffer, the slower things go.
The key to removing the contention is to not require the superblock fields
in question to be locked. We do that by not marking the superblock dirty
in the transaction. IOWs, we modify the incore superblock but do not
modify the cached superblock buffer. In short, we do not log superblock
modifications to critical fields in the superblock on every transaction.
In fact we only do it just before we write the superblock to disk every
sync period or just before unmount.
This creates an interesting problem - if we don't log or write out the
fields in every transaction, then how do the values get recovered after a
crash? the answer is simple - we keep enough duplicate, logged information
in other structures that we can reconstruct the correct count after log
recovery has been performed.
It is the AGF and AGI structures that contain the duplicate information;
after recovery, we walk every AGI and AGF and sum their individual
counters to get the correct value, and we do a transaction into the log to
correct them. An optimisation of this is that if we have a clean unmount
record, we know the value in the superblock is correct, so we can avoid
the summation walk under normal conditions and so mount/recovery times do
not change under normal operation.
One wrinkle that was discovered during development was that the blocks
used in the freespace btrees are never accounted for in the AGF counters.
This was once a valid optimisation to make; when the filesystem is full,
the free space btrees are empty and consume no space. Hence when it
matters, the "accounting" is correct. But that means the when we do the
AGF summations, we would not have a correct count and xfs_check would
complain. Hence a new counter was added to track the number of blocks used
by the free space btrees. This is an *on-disk format change*.
As a result of this, lazy superblock counters are a mkfs option and at the
moment on linux there is no way to convert an old filesystem. This is
possible - xfs_db can be used to twiddle the right bits and then
xfs_repair will do the format conversion for you. Similarly, you can
convert backwards as well. At some point we'll add functionality to
xfs_admin to do the bit twiddling easily....

there are other 32bit variables in transaction structures and interfaces
that need to be expanded to allow this to work.
