Add a mode where XFS never overwrites existing blocks in place. This
is to aid debugging our COW code, and also put infatructure in place
for things like possible future support for zoned block devices, which
can't support overwrites.
This mode is enabled globally by doing a:
echo 1 > /sys/fs/xfs/debug/always_cow
Note that the parameter is global to allow running all tests in xfstests
easily in this mode, which would not easily be possible with a per-fs
sysfs file.
In always_cow mode persistent preallocations are disabled, and fallocate
will fail when called with a 0 mode (with our without
FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE), and not create unwritten extent for zeroed space
when called with FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE or FALLOC_FL_UNSHARE_RANGE.
There are a few interesting xfstests failures when run in always_cow
mode:
- generic/392 fails because the bytes used in the file used to test
hole punch recovery are less after the log replay. This is
because the blocks written and then punched out are only freed
with a delay due to the logging mechanism.
- xfs/170 will fail as the already fragile file streams mechanism
doesn't seem to interact well with the COW allocator
- xfs/180 xfs/182 xfs/192 xfs/198 xfs/204 and xfs/208 will claim
the file system is badly fragmented, but there is not much we
can do to avoid that when always writing out of place
- xfs/205 fails because overwriting a file in always_cow mode
will require new space allocation and the assumption in the
test thus don't work anymore.
- xfs/326 fails to modify the file at all in always_cow mode after
injecting the refcount error, leading to an unexpected md5sum
after the remount, but that again is expected

Remove the verbose license text from XFS files and replace them
with SPDX tags. This does not change the license of any of the code,
merely refers to the common, up-to-date license files in LICENSES/
This change was mostly scripted. fs/xfs/Makefile and
fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_fs.h were modified by hand, the rest were detected
and modified by the following command:
for f in `git grep -l "GNU General" fs/xfs/` ; do
echo $f
cat $f | awk -f hdr.awk > $f.new
mv -f $f.new $f
done
And the hdr.awk script that did the modification (including
detecting the difference between GPL-2.0 and GPL-2.0+ licenses)
is as follows:
$ cat hdr.awk
BEGIN {
hdr = 1.0
tag = "GPL-2.0"
str = ""
}
/^ \* This program is free software/ {
hdr = 2.0;
next
}
/any later version./ {
tag = "GPL-2.0+"
next
}
/^ \*\// {
if (hdr > 0.0) {
print "// SPDX-License-Identifier: " tag
print str
print $0
str=""
hdr = 0.0
next
}
print $0
next
}
/^ \* / {
if (hdr > 1.0)
next
if (hdr > 0.0) {
if (str != "")
str = str "\n"
str = str $0

print $0

// {

In DEBUG mode, assert failures unconditionally trigger a kernel BUG.
This is useful in diagnostic situations to panic a system and
collect detailed state information at the time of a failure.
This can also cause problems in cases where DEBUG mode code is
desired but it is preferable not trigger kernel BUGs on assert
failure. For example, during development of new code or during
certain xfstests tests that intentionally cause corruption and test
the kernel for survival (but otherwise may expect to trigger assert
failures).
To provide additional flexibility, create the
<sysfs>/fs/xfs/debug/bug_on_assert tunable to configure assert
failure behavior at runtime. This tunable is only available in DEBUG
mode and is enabled by default to preserve existing default
behavior. When disabled, assert failures in DEBUG mode result in
kernel warnings.

Trim CoW reservations made on behalf of a cowextsz hint if they get too
old or we run low on quota, so long as we don't have dirty data awaiting
writeback or directio operations in progress.
Garbage collection of the cowextsize extents are kept separate from
prealloc extent reaping because setting the CoW prealloc lifetime to a
(much) higher value than the regular prealloc extent lifetime has been
useful for combatting CoW fragmentation on VM hosts where the VMs
experience bursty write behaviors and we can keep the utilization ratios
low enough that we don't start to run out of space. IOWs, it benefits
us to keep the CoW fork reservations around for as long as we can unless
we run out of blocks or hit inode reclaim.

XFS log recovery has been discovered to have race conditions with
buffers when I/O errors occur. External tools are available to simulate
I/O errors to XFS, but this alone is not sufficient for testing log
recovery. XFS unconditionally resets the inactive region of the log
prior to log recovery to avoid confusion over processing any partially
written log records that might have been written before an unclean
shutdown. Therefore, unconditional write I/O failures at mount time are
caught by the reset sequence rather than log recovery and hinder the
ability to test the latter.
The device-mapper dm-flakey module uses an up/down timer to define a
cycle for when to fail I/Os. Create a pre log recovery delay tunable
that can be used to coordinate XFS log recovery with I/O errors
simulated by dm-flakey. This facilitates coordination in userspace that
allows the reset of stale log blocks to succeed and writes due to log
recovery to fail. For example, define a dm-flakey instance with an
uptime long enough to allow log reset to succeed and a log recovery
delay long enough to allow the dm-flakey uptime to expire.
The 'log_recovery_delay' sysfs tunable is exported under
/sys/fs/xfs/debug and is only enabled for kernels compiled in XFS debug
mode. The value is exported in units of seconds and allows for a delay
of up to 60 seconds. Note that this is for XFS debug and test
instrumentation purposes only and should not be used by applications. No
delay is enabled by default.

Create a new mount workqueue and delayed_work to enable background
scanning and freeing of eofblocks inodes. The scanner kicks in once
speculative preallocation occurs and stops requeueing itself when
no eofblocks inodes exist.
The scan interval is based on the new
'speculative_prealloc_lifetime' tunable (default to 5m). The
background scanner performs unfiltered, best effort scans (which
skips inodes under lock contention or with a dirty cache mapping).

Use the move from Linux 2.6 to Linux 3.x as an excuse to kill the
annoying subdirectories in the XFS source code. Besides the large
amount of file rename the only changes are to the Makefile, a few
files including headers with the subdirectory prefix, and the binary
sysctl compat code that includes a header under fs/xfs/ from
kernel/.
