Because the CRC always returns the calcuation LE format, even on BE
systems. So rather than always having to byte swap it everywhere and
have all the force casts and anootations for sparse, it seems simpler to
just make it a __le32 everywhere....

Implement CRCs for the log buffers. We re-use a field in
struct xlog_rec_header that was used for a weak checksum of the
log buffer payload in debug builds before.
The new checksumming uses the crc32c checksum we will use elsewhere
in XFS, and also protects the record header and addition cycle data.
Due to this there are some interesting changes in xlog_sync, as we
need to do the cycle wrapping for the split buffer case much earlier,
as we would touch the buffer after generating the checksum otherwise.
The CRC calculation is always enabled, even for non-CRC filesystems,
as adding this CRC does not change the log format. On non-CRC
filesystems, only issue an alert if a CRC mismatch is found and
allow recovery to continue - this will act as an indicator that
log recovery problems are a result of log corruption. On CRC enabled
filesystems, however, log recovery will fail.
Note that existing debug kernels will write a simple checksum value
to the log, so the first time this is run on a filesystem taht was
last used on a debug kernel it will through CRC mismatch warning
errors. These can be ignored.
Initially based on a patch from Dave Chinner, then modified
significantly by Christoph Hellwig. Modified again by Dave Chinner

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
it exposed.
This patch also adds ops callbacks to the inode/alloc btree blocks
initialised by growfs. These will need more work before they will

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.

Commit 4439647 ("xfs: reset buffer pointers before freeing them") in
3.0-rc1 introduced a regression when recovering log buffers that
wrapped around the end of log. The second part of the log buffer at
the start of the physical log was being read into the header buffer
rather than the data buffer, and hence recovery was seeing garbage
in the data buffer when it got to the region of the log buffer that
was incorrectly read.

such as:
XFS (vdb): Invalid block length (0x2000) for buffer
during log recovery. This causes tests to randomly fail because this
output causes the clean filesystem checks on test completion to
think the filesystem is inconsistent.
The cause of the error is simply that log recovery is asking for a
buffer size that is larger than the log when zeroing the tail. This
is because the buffer size is rounded up, and if the right head and
tail conditions exist then the buffer size can be larger than the log.

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:
- rebase on previous patches.
- 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

When we free a vmapped buffer, we need to ensure the vmap address

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

We currently have a global error message buffer in cmn_err that is
protected by a spin lock that disables interrupts. Recently there
have been reports of NMI timeouts occurring when the console is
being flooded by SCSI error reports due to cmn_err() getting stuck
trying to print to the console while holding this lock (i.e. with
interrupts disabled). The NMI watchdog is seeing this CPU as
non-responding and so is triggering a panic. While the trigger for
the reported case is SCSI errors, pretty much anything that spams
the kernel log could cause this to occur.
Realistically the only reason that we have the intemediate message
buffer is to prepend the correct kernel log level prefix to the log
message. The only reason we have the lock is to protect the global
message buffer and the only reason the message buffer is global is
to keep it off the stack. Hence if we can avoid needing a global
message buffer we avoid needing the lock, and we can do this with a
small amount of cleanup and some preprocessor tricks:
1. clean up xfs_cmn_err() panic mask functionality to avoid
needing debug code in xfs_cmn_err()
2. remove the couple of "!" message prefixes that still exist that
the existing cmn_err() code steps over.
3. redefine CE_* levels directly to KERN_*
4. redefine cmn_err() and friends to use printk() directly
via variable argument length macros.
By doing this, we can completely remove the cmn_err() code and the
lock that is causing the problems, and rely solely on printk()
serialisation to ensure that we don't get garbled messages.
A series of followup patches is really needed to clean up all the
cmn_err() calls and related messages properly, but that results in a
series that is not easily back portable to enterprise kernels. Hence
this initial fix is only to address the direct problem in the lowest
impact way possible.

Also, provide functions to safely crack an atomic LSN variable into
it's component pieces and to recombined the components into an
atomic variable. Use them where appropriate.
This also removes the need for explicitly holding a spinlock to read
the l_tail_lsn on 32 bit platforms.
