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

Back when the XFS reflink code only supported clone_file_range, we were
only able to return zero or negative error codes to userspace. However,
now that copy_file_range (which returns bytes copied) can use XFS'
clone_file_range, we have the opportunity to return partial results.
For example, if userspace sends a 1GB clone request and we run out of
space halfway through, we at least can tell userspace that we completed
512M of that request like a regular write.

Change the remap_file_range functions to take a number of bytes to
operate upon and return the number of bytes they operated on. This is a
requirement for allowing fs implementations to return short clone/dedupe
results to the user, which will enable us to obey resource limits in a
graceful manner.
A subsequent patch will enable copy_file_range to signal to the
->clone_file_range implementation that it can handle a short length,
which will be returned in the function's return value. For now the
short return is not implemented anywhere so the behavior won't change --
either copy_file_range manages to clone the entire range or it tries an
alternative.

Christoph Hellwig pointed out that there's a potentially nasty race when
performing simultaneous nearby directio cow writes:
"Thread 1 writes a range from B to c
" B --------- C
p
"a little later thread 2 writes from A to B
" A --------- B
p
[editor's note: the 'p' denote cowextsize boundaries, which I added to
make this more clear]
"but the code preallocates beyond B into the range where thread
"1 has just written, but ->end_io hasn't been called yet.
"But once ->end_io is called thread 2 has already allocated
"up to the extent size hint into the write range of thread 1,
"so the end_io handler will splice the unintialized blocks from
"that preallocation back into the file right after B."
We can avoid this race by ensuring that thread 1 cannot accidentally
remap the blocks that thread 2 allocated (as part of speculative
preallocation) as part of t2's write preparation in t1's end_io handler.
The way we make this happen is by taking advantage of the unwritten
extent flag as an intermediate step.
Recall that when we begin the process of writing data to shared blocks,
we create a delayed allocation extent in the CoW fork:
D: --RRRRRRSSSRRRRRRRR---
C: ------DDDDDDD---------
When a thread prepares to CoW some dirty data out to disk, it will now
convert the delalloc reservation into an /unwritten/ allocated extent in
the cow fork. The da conversion code tries to opportunistically
allocate as much of a (speculatively prealloc'd) extent as possible, so
we may end up allocating a larger extent than we're actually writing
out:
D: --RRRRRRSSSRRRRRRRR---
U: ------UUUUUUU---------
Next, we convert only the part of the extent that we're actively
planning to write to normal (i.e. not unwritten) status:
D: --RRRRRRSSSRRRRRRRR---
U: ------UURRUUU---------
If the write succeeds, the end_cow function will now scan the relevant
range of the CoW fork for real extents and remap only the real extents
into the data fork:
D: --RRRRRRRRSRRRRRRRR---
U: ------UU--UUU---------
This ensures that we never obliterate valid data fork extents with
unwritten blocks from the CoW fork.

The cowblocks background scanner currently clears the cowblocks tag
for inodes without any real allocations in the cow fork. This
excludes inodes with only delalloc blocks in the cow fork. While we
might never expect to clear delalloc blocks from the cow fork in the
background scanner, it is not necessarily correct to clear the
cowblocks tag from such inodes.
For example, if the background scanner happens to process an inode
between a buffered write and writeback, the scanner catches the
inode in a state after delalloc blocks have been allocated to the
cow fork but before the delalloc blocks have been converted to real
blocks by writeback. The background scanner then incorrectly clears
the cowblocks tag, even if part of the aforementioned delalloc
reservation will not be remapped to the data fork (i.e., extra
blocks due to the cowextsize hint). This means that any such
additional blocks in the cow fork might never be reclaimed by the
background scanner and could persist until the inode itself is
reclaimed.
To address this problem, only skip and clear inodes without any cow
fork allocations whatsoever from the background scanner. While we
generally do not want to cancel delalloc reservations from the
background scanner, the pagecache dirty check following the
cowblocks check should prevent that situation. If we do end up with
delalloc cow fork blocks without a dirty address space mapping, this
is probably an indication that something has gone wrong and the
blocks should be reclaimed, as they may never be converted to a real
allocation.

Garbage collection of the cowextsize extents are kept separate from

Due to the way the CoW algorithm in XFS works, there's an interval
during which blocks allocated to handle a CoW can be lost -- if the FS
goes down after the blocks are allocated but before the block
remapping takes place. This is exacerbated by the cowextsz hint --
allocated reservations can sit around for a while, waiting to get
used.
Since the refcount btree doesn't normally store records with refcount
of 1, we can use it to record these in-progress extents. In-progress
blocks cannot be shared because they're not user-visible, so there
shouldn't be any conflicts with other programs. This is a better
solution than holding EFIs during writeback because (a) EFIs can't be
relogged currently, (b) even if they could, EFIs are bound by
available log space, which puts an unnecessary upper bound on how much
CoW we can have in flight, and (c) we already have a mechanism to
track blocks.
At mount time, read the refcount records and free anything we find
with a refcount of 1 because those were in-progress when the FS went
down.

For O_DIRECT writes to shared blocks, we have to CoW them just like
we would with buffered writes. For writes that are not block-aligned,
just bounce them to the page cache.
For block-aligned writes, however, we can do better than that. Use
the same mechanisms that we employ for buffered CoW to set up a
delalloc reservation, allocate all the blocks at once, issue the
writes against the new blocks and use the same ioend functions to
remap the blocks after the write. This should be fairly performant.
Christoph discovered that xfs_reflink_allocate_cow_range may stumble
over invalid entries in the extent array given that it drops the ilock
but still expects the index to be stable. Simple fixing it to a new
lookup for every iteration still isn't correct given that
xfs_bmapi_allocate will trigger a BUG_ON() if hitting a hole, and
there is nothing preventing a xfs_bunmapi_cow call removing extents
once we dropped the ilock either.
This patch duplicates the inner loop of xfs_bmapi_allocate into a
helper for xfs_reflink_allocate_cow_range so that it can be done under
the same ilock critical section as our CoW fork delayed allocation.
The directio CoW warts will be revisited in a later patch.
