Al Viro noticed a generic set of issues to do with filehandle lookup
racing with dentry cache setup. They involve a filehandle lookup
occurring while an inode is being created and the filehandle lookup
racing with the dentry creation for the real file. This can lead to
multiple dentries for the one path being instantiated. There are a
host of other issues around this same set of paths.
The underlying cause is that file handle lookup only waits on inode
cache instantiation rather than full dentry cache instantiation. XFS
is mostly immune to the problems discovered due to it's own internal
inode cache, but there are a couple of corner cases where races can
happen.
We currently clear the XFS_INEW flag when the inode is fully set up
after insertion into the cache. Newly allocated inodes are inserted
locked and so aren't usable until the allocation transaction
commits. This, however, occurs before the dentry and security
information is fully initialised and hence the inode is unlocked and
available for lookups to find too early.
To solve the problem, only clear the XFS_INEW flag for newly created
inodes once the dentry is fully instantiated. This means lookups
will retry until the XFS_INEW flag is removed from the inode and
hence avoids the race conditions in questions.
THis also means that xfs_create(), xfs_create_tmpfile() and
xfs_symlink() need to finish the setup of the inode in their error
paths if we had allocated the inode but failed later in the creation
process. xfs_symlink(), in particular, needed a lot of help to make
it's error handling match that of xfs_create().

A new fsync vs power fail test in xfstests indicated that XFS can
have unreliable data consistency when doing extending truncates that
require block zeroing. The blocks beyond EOF get zeroed in memory,
but we never force those changes to disk before we run the
transaction that extends the file size and exposes those blocks to
userspace. This can result in the blocks not being correctly zeroed
after a crash.
Because in-memory behaviour is correct, tools like fsx don't pick up
any coherency problems - it's not until the filesystem is shutdown
or the system crashes after writing the truncate transaction to the
journal but before the zeroed data in the page cache is flushed that
the issue is exposed.
Fix this by also flushing the dirty data in memory region between
the old size and new size when we've found blocks that need zeroing
in the truncate process.

Right now we cannot serialise mmap against truncate or hole punch
sanely. ->page_mkwrite is not able to take locks that the read IO
path normally takes (i.e. the inode iolock) because that could
result in lock inversions (read - iolock - page fault - page_mkwrite
- iolock) and so we cannot use an IO path lock to serialise page
write faults against truncate operations.
Instead, introduce a new lock that is used *only* in the
->page_mkwrite path that is the equivalent of the iolock. The lock
ordering in a page fault is i_mmaplock -> page lock -> i_ilock,
and so in truncate we can i_iolock -> i_mmaplock and so lock out
new write faults during the process of truncation.
Because i_mmap_lock is outside the page lock, we can hold it across
all the same operations we hold the i_iolock for. The only
difference is that we never hold the i_mmaplock in the normal IO
path and so do not ever have the possibility that we can page fault
inside it. Hence there are no recursion issues on the i_mmap_lock
and so we can use it to serialise page fault IO against inode
modification operations that affect the IO path.
This patch introduces the i_mmaplock infrastructure, lockdep
annotations and initialisation/destruction code. Use of the new lock
will be in subsequent patches.

If we write to the maximum file offset (2^63-2), XFS fails to log the
inode size update when the page is flushed. For example:
$ xfs_io -fc "pwrite `echo "2^63-1-1" | bc` 1" /mnt/file
wrote 1/1 bytes at offset 9223372036854775806
1.000000 bytes, 1 ops; 0.0000 sec (22.711 KiB/sec and 23255.8140 ops/sec)
$ stat -c %s /mnt/file
9223372036854775807
$ umount /mnt ; mount <dev> /mnt/
$ stat -c %s /mnt/file
0
This occurs because XFS calculates the new file size as io_offset +
io_size, I/O occurs in block sized requests, and the maximum supported
file size is not block aligned. Therefore, a write to the max allowable
offset on a 4k blocksize fs results in a write of size 4k to offset
2^63-4096 (e.g., equivalent to round_down(2^63-1, 4096), or IOW the
offset of the block that contains the max file size). The offset plus
size calculation (2^63 - 4096 + 4096 == 2^63) overflows the signed
64-bit variable which goes negative and causes the > comparison to the
on-disk inode size to fail. This returns 0 from xfs_new_eof() and
results in no change to the inode on-disk.
Update xfs_new_eof() to explicitly detect overflow of the local
calculation and use the VFS inode size in this scenario. The VFS inode
size is capped to the maximum and thus XFS writes the correct inode size
to disk.

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

$
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.

The only thing left in xfs_rw.h is a function prototype for an inode
function. Move that to xfs_inode.h, and kill xfs_rw.h.
Also move the function implementing the prototype from xfs_rw.c to
xfs_inode.c so we only have one function left in xfs_rw.c

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
- xfs_efd_item_push() should return XFS_ITEM_PINNED ]

Instead of writing the buffer directly from inside xfs_iflush return it to
the caller and let the caller decide what to do with the buffer. Also
remove the pincount check in xfs_iflush that all non-blocking callers already
implement and the now unused flags parameter.

When we read inodes via bulkstat, we generally only read them once
and then throw them away - they never get used again. If we retain
them in cache, then it simply causes the working set of inodes and
other cached items to be reclaimed just so the inode cache can grow.
Avoid this problem by marking inodes read by bulkstat not to be
cached and check this flag in .drop_inode to determine whether the
inode should be added to the VFS LRU or not. If the inode lookup
hits an already cached inode, then don't set the flag. If the inode
lookup hits an inode marked with no cache flag, remove the flag and
allow it to be cached once the current reference goes away.
Inodes marked as not cached will get cleaned up by the background
inode reclaim or via memory pressure, so they will still generate
some short term cache pressure. They will, however, be reclaimed
much sooner and in preference to cache hot inodes.

Timestamps on regular files are the last metadata that XFS does not update
transactionally. Now that we use the delaylog mode exclusively and made
the log scode scale extremly well there is no need to bypass that code for
timestamp updates. Logging all updates allows to drop a lot of code, and
will allow for further performance improvements later on.
Note that this patch drops optimized handling of fdatasync - it will be
added back in a separate commit.
