Michael L. Semon has been testing CRC patches on a 32 bit system and
been seeing assert failures in the directory code from xfs/080.
Thanks to Michael's heroic efforts with printk debugging, we found
that the problem was that the last free space being left in the
directory structure was too small to fit a unused tag structure and
it was being corrupted and attempting to log a region out of bounds.
Hence the assert failure looked something like:
.....
#5 calling xfs_dir2_data_log_unused() 36 32
#1 4092 4095 4096
#2 8182 8183 4096
XFS: Assertion failed: first <= last && last < BBTOB(bp->b_length), file: fs/xfs/xfs_trans_buf.c, line: 568
Where #1 showed the first region of the dup being logged (i.e. the
last 4 bytes of a directory buffer) and #2 shows the corrupt values
being calculated from the length of the dup entry which overflowed
the size of the buffer.
It turns out that the problem was not in the logging code, nor in
the freespace handling code. It is an initial condition bug that
only shows up on 32 bit systems. When a new buffer is initialised,
where's the freespace that is set up:
[ 172.316249] calling xfs_dir2_leaf_addname() from xfs_dir_createname()
[ 172.316346] #9 calling xfs_dir2_data_log_unused()
[ 172.316351] #1 calling xfs_trans_log_buf() 60 63 4096
[ 172.316353] #2 calling xfs_trans_log_buf() 4094 4095 4096
Note the offset of the first region being logged? It's 60 bytes into
the buffer. Once I saw that, I pretty much knew that the bug was
going to be caused by this.
Essentially, all direct entries are rounded to 8 bytes in length,
and all entries start with an 8 byte alignment. This means that we
can decode inplace as variables are naturally aligned. With the
directory data supposedly starting on a 8 byte boundary, and all
entries padded to 8 bytes, the minimum freespace in a directory
block is supposed to be 8 bytes, which is large enough to fit a
unused data entry structure (6 bytes in size). The fact we only have
4 bytes of free space indicates a directory data block alignment
problem.
And what do you know - there's an implicit hole in the directory
data block header for the CRC format, which means the header is 60
byte on 32 bit intel systems and 64 bytes on 64 bit systems. Needs
padding. And while looking at the structures, I found the same
problem in the attr leaf header. Fix them both.
Note that this only affects 32 bit systems with CRCs enabled.
Everything else is just fine. Note that CRC enabled filesystems created
before this fix on such systems will not be readable with this fix
applied.

(cherry picked from commit 8a1fd2950e)
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
work with CRCs.

These verifiers are essentially the same code as the read verifiers,
but do not require ioend processing. Hence factor the read verifier
functions and add a new write verifier wrapper that is used as the
callback.
This is done as one large patch for all verifiers rather than one
patch per verifier as the change is largely mechanical. This
includes hooking up the write verifier via the read verifier
function.
Hooking up the write verifier for buffers obtained via
xfs_trans_get_buf() will be done in a separate patch as that touches
code in many different places rather than just the verifier
functions.

Some reads are not converted yet because it isn't obvious ahead of
time what the format of the block is going to be. Need to determine
how to tell if the first block in the tree is a node or leaf format
block. That will be done in later patches.

The struct xfs_dabuf now only tracks a single xfs_buf and all the
information it holds can be gained directly from the xfs_buf. Hence
we can remove the struct dabuf and pass the xfs_buf around
everywhere.
Kill the struct dabuf and the associated infrastructure.

Move it from the attr code to the transaction code and make
the attr code call the new function.
We rolltrans is really usefull whenever we want to use rolling
transaction, should be generic, it isn't dependent on any part
of the attr code anyway.
We use this excuse to change all the:
if ((error = xfs_attr_rolltrans()))
calls into:
error = xfs_trans_roll();
if (error)

the data/attr forks now grow up/down from either end of the literal area,
rather than dividing the literal area into two chunks and growing both
upward. Means we can now make much more efficient use of the attribute
space, incl. fitting DMF attributes inline in 256 byte inodes, and large
jumps in dbench3 performance numbers. It is self enabling, but can be
forced on/off via the attr2/noattr2 mount options.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
