If we take "retry forever" literally on metadata IO errors, we can
hang at unmount, once it retries those writes forever. This is the
default behavior, unfortunately.
Add an error configuration option for this behavior and default it
to "fail" so that an unmount will trigger actuall errors, a shutdown
and allow the unmount to succeed. It will be noisy, though, as it
will log the errors and shutdown that occurs.
To fix this, we need to mark the filesystem as being in the process
of unmounting. Do this with a mount flag that is added at the
appropriate time (i.e. before the blocking AIL sync). We also need
to add this flag if mount fails after the initial phase of log
recovery has been run.

On reception of an error, we can fail immediately, perform some
bound amount of retries or retry indefinitely. The current behaviour
we have is to retry forever.
However, we'd like the ability to choose how long the filesystem
should try after an error, it can either fail immediately, retry a
few times, or retry forever. This is implemented by using
max_retries sysfs attribute, to hold the amount of times we allow
the filesystem to retry after an error. Being -1 a special case
where the filesystem will retry indefinitely.
Add both a maximum retry count and a retry timeout so that we can
bound by time and/or physical IO attempts.
Finally, plumb these into xfs_buf_iodone error processing so that
the error behaviour follows the selected configuration.

PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.
This promise never materialized. And unlikely will.
We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.
Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.
Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are
not.
The changes are pretty straight-forward:
- <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
- <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
- PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};
- page_cache_get() -> get_page();
- page_cache_release() -> put_page();
This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.
The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.
There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch. Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

Add a DEBUG mode-only sysfs knob to enable forced buffered write
failure. An additional side effect of this mode is brute force killing
of delayed allocation blocks in the range of the write. The latter is
the prime motiviation behind this patch, as userspace test
infrastructure requires a reliable mechanism to create and split
delalloc extents without causing extent conversion.
Certain fallocate operations (i.e., zero range) were used for this in
the past, but the implementations have changed such that delalloc
extents are flushed and converted to real blocks, rendering the test
useless.

inode32/inode64 allocator behavior with respect to mount, remount
and growfs is a little tricky.
The inode32 mount option should only enable the inode32 allocator
heuristics if the filesystem is large enough for 64-bit inodes to
exist. Today, it has this behavior on the initial mount, but a
remount with inode32 unconditionally changes the allocation
heuristics, even for a small fs.
Also, an inode32 mounted small filesystem should transition to the
inode32 allocator if the filesystem is subsequently grown to a
sufficient size. Today that does not happen.
This patch consolidates xfs_set_inode32 and xfs_set_inode64 into a
single new function, and moves the "is the maximum inode number big
enough to matter" test into that function, so it doesn't rely on the
caller to get it right - which remount did not do, previously.

To enable DAX to do atomic allocation of zeroed extents, we need to
drive the block zeroing deep into the allocator. Because
xfs_bmapi_write() can return merged extents on allocation that were
only partially allocated (i.e. requested range spans allocated and
hole regions, allocation into the hole was contiguous), we cannot
zero the extent returned from xfs_bmapi_write() as that can
overwrite existing data with zeros.
Hence we have to drive the extent zeroing into the allocation code,
prior to where we merge the extents into the BMBT and return the
resultant map. This means we need to propagate this need down to
the xfs_alloc_vextent() and issue the block zeroing at this point.
While this functionality is being introduced for DAX, there is no
reason why it is specific to DAX - we can per-zero blocks during the
allocation transaction on any type of device. It's just slow (and
usually slower than unwritten allocation and conversion) on
traditional block devices so doesn't tend to get used. We can,
however, hook hardware zeroing optimisations via sb_issue_zeroout()
to this operation, so it may be useful in future and hence the
"allocate zeroed blocks" API needs to be implementation neutral.

This patch implements per-filesystem stats objects in sysfs. It
depends on the application of the previous patch series that
develops the infrastructure to support both xfs global stats and
xfs per-fs stats in sysfs.
Stats objects are instantiated when an xfs filesystem is mounted
and deleted on unmount. With this patch, the stats directory is
created and populated with the familiar stats and stats_clear files.
Example:
/sys/fs/xfs/sda9/stats/stats
/sys/fs/xfs/sda9/stats/stats_clear
With this patch, the individual counts within the new per-fs
stats file(s) remain at zero. Functions that use the the macros
to increment, decrement, and add-to the per-fs stats counts will
be covered in a separate new patch to follow this one. Note that
the counts within the global stats file (/sys/fs/xfs/stats/stats)
advance normally and can be cleared as it was prior to this patch.

xfs_ialloc_ag_select() iterates through the allocation groups looking
for free inodes or free space to determine whether to allow an inode
allocation to proceed. If no free inodes are available, it assumes that
an AG must have an extent longer than mp->m_ialloc_blks.
Sparse inode chunk support currently allows for allocations smaller than
the traditional inode chunk size specified in m_ialloc_blks. The current
minimum sparse allocation is set in the superblock sb_spino_align field
at mkfs time. Create a new m_ialloc_min_blks field in xfs_mount and use
this to represent the minimum supported allocation size for inode
chunks. Initialize m_ialloc_min_blks at mount time based on whether

XFS has hand-rolled per-cpu counters for the superblock since before
there was any generic implementation. The free block counter is
special in that it is used for ENOSPC detection outside transaction
contexts for for delayed allocation. This means that the counter
needs to be accurate at zero. The current per-cpu counter code jumps
through lots of hoops to ensure we never run past zero, but we don't
need to make all those jumps with the generic counter
implementation.
The generic counter implementation allows us to pass a "batch"
threshold at which the addition/subtraction to the counter value
will be folded back into global value under lock. We can use this
feature to reduce the batch size as we approach 0 in a very similar
manner to the existing counters and their rebalance algorithm. If we
use a batch size of 1 as we approach 0, then every addition and
subtraction will be done against the global value and hence allow
accurate detection of zero threshold crossing.
Hence we can replace the handrolled, accurate-at-zero counters with
generic percpu counters.
Note: this removes just enough of the icsb infrastructure to compile
without warnings. The rest will go in subsequent commits.

XFS has hand-rolled per-cpu counters for the superblock since before
there was any generic implementation. There are some warts around
the use of them for the inode counter as the hand rolled counter is
designed to be accurate at zero, but has no specific accurracy at
any other value. This design causes problems for the maximum inode
count threshold enforcement, as there is no trigger that balances
the counters as they get close tothe maximum threshold.
Instead of designing new triggers for balancing, just replace the
handrolled per-cpu counter with a generic counter. This enables us
to update the counter through the normal superblock modification
funtions, but rather than do that we add a xfs_mod_icount() helper
function (from Christoph Hellwig) and keep the percpu counter
outside the superblock in the struct xfs_mount.
This means we still need to initialise the per-cpu counter
specifically when we read the superblock, and vice versa when we
log/write it, but it does mean that we don't need to change any
other code.

When we log changes to the superblock, we first have to write them
to the on-disk buffer, and then log that. Right now we have a
complex bitfield based arrangement to only write the modified field
to the buffer before we log it.
This used to be necessary as a performance optimisation because we
logged the superblock buffer in every extent or inode allocation or
freeing, and so performance was extremely important. We haven't done
this for years, however, ever since the lazy superblock counters
pulled the superblock logging out of the transaction commit
fast path.
Hence we have a bunch of complexity that is not necessary that makes
writing the in-core superblock to disk much more complex than it
needs to be. We only need to log the superblock now during
management operations (e.g. during mount, unmount or quota control
operations) so it is not a performance critical path anymore.
As such, remove the complex field based logging mechanism and
replace it with a simple conversion function similar to what we use
for all other on-disk structures.
This means we always log the entirity of the superblock, but again
because we rarely modify the superblock this is not an issue for log
bandwidth or CPU time. Indeed, if we do log the superblock
frequently, delayed logging will minimise the impact of this
overhead.

The expectation since the introduction the lazy superblock counters is
that the counters are synced and superblock logged appropriately as part
of the filesystem freeze sequence. This does not occur, however, due to
the logic in xfs_fs_writable() that prevents progress when the fs is in
any state other than SB_UNFROZEN.
While this is a bug, it has not been exposed to date because the last
thing XFS does during freeze is dirty the log. The log recovery process
recalculates the counters from AGI/AGF metadata to ensure everything is
correct. Therefore should a crash occur while an fs is frozen, the
subsequent log recovery puts everything back in order. See the following
commit for reference:

We might not always want to rely on dirtying the log on a frozen fs.

The xfslogd workqueue is a global, single-job workqueue for buffer ioend
processing. This means we allow for a single work item at a time for all
possible XFS mounts on a system. fsstress testing in loopback XFS over
XFS configurations has reproduced xfslogd deadlocks due to the single
threaded nature of the queue and dependencies introduced between the
separate XFS instances by online discard (-o discard).
Discard over a loopback device converts the discard request to a hole
punch (fallocate) on the underlying file. Online discard requests are
issued synchronously and from xfslogd context in XFS, hence the xfslogd
workqueue is blocked in the upper fs waiting on a hole punch request to
be servied in the lower fs. If the lower fs issues I/O that depends on
xfslogd to complete, both filesystems end up hung indefinitely. This is
reproduced reliabily by generic/013 on XFS->loop->XFS test devices with
the '-o discard' mount option.
Further, docker implementations appear to use this kind of configuration
for container instance filesystems by default (container fs->dm->
loop->base fs) and therefore are subject to this deadlock when running
on XFS.
Replace the global xfslogd workqueue with a per-mount variant. This
guarantees each mount access to a single worker and prevents deadlocks
due to inter-fs dependencies introduced by discard. Since the queue is
only responsible for buffer iodone processing at this point in time,
rename xfslogd to xfs-buf.

cluster ratio for all inode IO.
This only works if mkfs.xfs sets the inode alignment appropriately
for larger inode clusters, so this functionality is made conditional
on mkfs doing the right thing. xfs_repair needs to know about
the inode alignment changes, too.
Wall time:
create bulkstat find+stat ls -R unlink
v4 237s 161s 173s 201s 299s
v5 235s 163s 205s 31s 356s
patched 234s 160s 182s 29s 317s
System time:
create bulkstat find+stat ls -R unlink
v4 2601s 2490s 1653s 1656s 2960s
v5 2637s 2497s 1681s 20s 3216s
patched 2613s 2451s 1658s 20s 3007s
So, wall time same or down across the board, system time same or
down across the board, and cache hit rates all improve except for
the ls -R case which is a pure cold cache directory read workload
on v5 filesystems...
So, this patch removes most of the performance and CPU usage
differential between v4 and v5 filesystems on traversal related
workloads.
Note: while this patch is currently for v5 filesystems only, there
is no reason it can't be ported back to v4 filesystems. This hasn't
been done here because bringing the code back to v4 requires
forwards and backwards kernel compatibility testing. i.e. to
deterine if older kernels(*) do the right thing with larger inode
alignments but still only using 8k inode cluster sizes. None of this
testing and validation on v4 filesystems has been done, so for the
moment larger inode clusters is limited to v5 superblocks.
(*) a current default config v4 filesystem should mount just fine on
2.6.23 (when lazy-count support was introduced), and so if we change
the alignment emitted by mkfs without a feature bit then we have to
make sure it works properly on all kernels since 2.6.23. And if we
allow it to be changed when the lazy-count bit is not set, then it's
all kernels since v2 logs were introduced that need to be tested for
compatibility...

The remaining non-vectorised code for the directory structure is the
node format blocks. This is shared with the attribute tree, and so
is slightly more complex to vectorise.
Introduce a "non-directory" directory ops structure that is attached
to all non-directory inodes so that attribute operations can be
vectorised for all inodes.
Once we do this, we can vectorise all the da btree operations.
Because this patch adds more infrastructure than it removes the
binary size does not decrease:

Lots of the dir code now goes through switches to determine what is
the correct on-disk format to parse. It generally involves a
"xfs_sbversion_hasfoo" check, deferencing the superblock version and
feature fields and hence touching several cache lines per operation
in the process. Some operations do multiple checks because they nest
conditional operations and they don't pass the information in a
direct fashion between each other.
Hence, add an ops vector to the xfs_inode structure that is
configured when the inode is initialised to point to all the correct
decode and encoding operations. This will significantly reduce the
branchiness and cacheline footprint of the directory object decoding
and encoding.
This is the first patch in a series of conversion patches. It will
introduce the ops structure, the setup of it and add the first
operation to the vector. Subsequent patches will convert directory
ops one at a time to keep the changes simple and obvious.
Just this patch shows the benefit of such an approach on code size.
Just converting the two shortform dir operations as this patch does
decreases the built binary size by ~1500 bytes:
$ size fs/xfs/xfs.o.orig fs/xfs/xfs.o.p1
text data bss dec hex filename
794490 96802 1096 892388 d9de4 fs/xfs/xfs.o.orig
792986 96802 1096 890884 d9804 fs/xfs/xfs.o.p1
$
That's a significant decrease in the instruction cache footprint of
the directory code for such a simple change, and indicates that this
approach is definitely worth pursuing further.

Introduce a new structure xfs_trans_res to hold transaction
reservation item info per log ticket.
We also need to improve xfs_trans_resv_calc() by initializing the
log count as well as log flags for permanent log reservation.

The struct xfs_perag has many kernel-only definitions in it,
requiring a __KERNEL__ guard so userspace can use it to. Move it to
xfs_mount.h so that it it kernel-only, and let userspace redefine
it's own version of the structure containing only what it needs.
This gets rid of another __KERNEL__ check in the XFS header files.

xfs_mount.c is shared with userspace, but the only functions that
are shared are to do with physical superblock manipulations. This
means that less than 25% of the xfs_mount.c code is actually shared
with userspace. Move all the superblock functions to xfs_sb.c and
share that instead with libxfs.
Note that this will leave all the in-core transaction related
superblock counter modifications in xfs_mount.c as none of that is
shared with userspace. With a few more small changes, xfs_mount.h
won't need to be shared with userspace anymore, either.

The transaction reservation size calculations is used by both kernel
and userspace, but most of the transaction code in xfs_trans.c is
kernel specific. Split all the transaction reservation code out into
it's own files to make sharing with userspace simpler. This just
leaves kernel-only definitions in xfs_trans.h, so it doesn't need to
be shared with userspace anymore, either.

XFS_MOUNT_RETERR is going to be set at xfs_parseargs() if
mp->m_dalign is enabled, so any time we enter "if (mp->m_dalign)"
branch in xfs_update_alignment(), XFS_MOUNT_RETERR is set and so
we always be emitting a warning and returning an error.
Hence, we can remove it and get rid of a couple of redundant
check up against it at xfs_upate_alignment().
Thanks Dave Chinner for the suggestions of simplify the code
in xfs_parseargs().
