Nick Piggin reported that the CRC overhead in an fsync heavy
workload was higher than expected on a Power8 machine. Part of this
was to do with the fact that the power8 CRC implementation is not
efficient for CRC lengths of less than 512 bytes, and so the way we
split the CRCs over the CRC field means a lot of the CRCs are
reduced to being less than than optimal size.
To optimise this, change the CRC update mechanism to zero the CRC
field first, and then compute the CRC in one pass over the buffer
and write the result back into the buffer. We can do this safely
because anything writing a CRC has exclusive access to the buffer
the CRC is being calculated over.
We leave the CRC verify code the same - it still splits the CRC
calculation - because we do not want read-only operations modifying
the underlying buffer. This is because read-only operations may not
have an exclusive access to the buffer guaranteed, and so temporary
modifications could leak out to to other processes accessing the
buffer concurrently.

Log recovery will iget an inode to replay BUI items and iput the inode
when it's done. Unfortunately, if the inode was unlinked, the iput
will see that i_nlink == 0 and decide to truncate & free the inode,
which prevents us from replaying subsequent BUIs. We can't skip the
BUIs because we have to replay all the redo items to ensure that
atomic operations complete.
Since unlinked inode recovery will reap the inode anyway, we can
safely introduce a new inode flag to indicate that an inode is in this
'unlinked recovery' state and should not be auto-reaped in the
drop_inode path.

Log recovery has particular rules around buffer submission along with

such, it can be difficult to follow when/why buffers are submitted

Add a couple tracepoints to post the current LSN of a record when a new
record is being processed and when a buffer is being skipped due to LSN
ordering. Also, update the recover item class to include the LSN of the

Log recovery is currently broken for v5 superblocks in that it never
updates the metadata LSN of buffers written out during recovery. The
metadata LSN is recorded in various bits of metadata to provide recovery
ordering criteria that prevents transient corruption states reported by
buffer write verifiers. Without such ordering logic, buffer updates can
be replayed out of order and lead to false positive transient corruption
states. This is generally not a corruption vector on its own, but
corruption detection shuts down the filesystem and ultimately prevents a
mount if it occurs during log recovery. This requires an xfs_repair run
that clears the log and potentially loses filesystem updates.
This problem is avoided in most cases as metadata writes during normal
filesystem operation update the metadata LSN appropriately. The problem
with log recovery not updating metadata LSNs manifests if the system
happens to crash shortly after log recovery itself. In this scenario, it
is possible for log recovery to complete all metadata I/O such that the
filesystem is consistent. If a crash occurs after that point but before
the log tail is pushed forward by subsequent operations, however, the
next mount performs the same log recovery over again. If a buffer is
updated multiple times in the dirty range of the log, an earlier update
in the log might not be valid based on the current state of the
associated buffer after all of the updates in the log had been replayed
(before the previous crash). If a verifier happens to detect such a
problem, the filesystem claims corruption and immediately shuts down.
This commonly manifests in practice as directory block verifier failures
such as the following, likely due to directory verifiers being
particularly detailed in their checks as compared to most others:
...
Mounting V5 Filesystem
XFS (dm-0): Starting recovery (logdev: internal)
XFS (dm-0): Internal error XFS_WANT_CORRUPTED_RETURN at line ... of \
file fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_dir2_data.c. Caller xfs_dir3_data_verify ...
...
Update log recovery to update the metadata LSN of recovered buffers.
Since metadata LSNs are already updated by write verifer functions via
attached log items, attach a dummy log item to the buffer during
validation and explicitly set the LSN of the current transaction. This
ensures that the metadata LSN of a buffer is updated based on whether
the recovery I/O actually completes, and if so, that subsequent recovery
attempts identify that the buffer is already up to date with respect to
the current transaction.

The fix to log recovery to update the metadata LSN in recovered buffers
introduces the requirement that a buffer is submitted only once per
current LSN. Log recovery currently submits buffers on transaction
boundaries. This is not sufficient as the abstraction between log
records and transactions allows for various scenarios where multiple
transactions can share the same current LSN. If independent transactions
share an LSN and both modify the same buffer, log recovery can
incorrectly skip updates and leave the filesystem in an inconsisent
state.
In preparation for proper metadata LSN updates during log recovery,
update log recovery to submit buffers for write on LSN change boundaries
rather than transaction boundaries. Explicitly track the current LSN in
a new struct xlog field to handle the various corner cases of when the
current LSN may or may not change.

If a crash occurs immediately after a filesystem grow operation, the
updated superblock geometry is found only in the log. After we
recover the log, the superblock is reread and re-initialised and so
has the new geometry in memory. If the new geometry has more AGs
than prior to the grow operation, then the new AGs will not have
in-memory xfs_perag structurea associated with them.
This will result in an oops when the first metadata buffer from a
new AG is looked up in the buffer cache, as the block lies within
the new geometry but then fails to find a perag structure on lookup.
This is easily fixed by simply re-initialising the perag structure
after re-reading the superblock at the conclusion of the first pahse
of log recovery.
This, however, does not fix the case of log recovery requiring
access to metadata in the newly grown space. Fortunately for us,
because the in-core superblock has not been updated, this will
result in detection of access beyond the end of the filesystem
and so recovery will fail at that point. If this proves to be
a problem, then we can address it separately to the current
reported issue.

XFS uses CRC verification over a sub-range of the head of the log to
detect and handle torn writes. This torn log write detection currently
runs unconditionally at mount time, regardless of whether the log is
dirty or clean. This is problematic in cases where a filesystem might
end up being moved across different, incompatible (i.e., opposite
byte-endianness) architectures.
The problem lies in the fact that log data is not necessarily written in
an architecture independent format. For example, certain bits of data
are written in native endian format. Further, the size of certain log
data structures differs (i.e., struct xlog_rec_header) depending on the
word size of the cpu. This leads to false positive crc verification
errors and ultimately failed mounts when a cleanly unmounted filesystem
is mounted on a system with an incompatible architecture from data that
was written near the head of the log.
Update the log head/tail discovery code to run torn write detection only
when the log is not clean. This means something other than an unmount
record resides at the head of the log and log recovery is imminent. It
is a requirement to run log recovery on the same type of host that had
written the content of the dirty log and therefore CRC failures are
legitimate corruptions in that scenario.

When we do dquot readahead in log recovery, we do not use a verifier
as the underlying buffer may not have dquots in it. e.g. the
allocation operation hasn't yet been replayed. Hence we do not want
to fail recovery because we detect an operation to be replayed has
not been run yet. This problem was addressed for inodes in commit
d891400 ("xfs: inode buffers may not be valid during recovery
readahead") but the problem was not recognised to exist for dquots
and their buffers as the dquot readahead did not have a verifier.
The result of not using a verifier is that when the buffer is then
next read to replay a dquot modification, the dquot buffer verifier
will only be attached to the buffer if *readahead is not complete*.
Hence we can read the buffer, replay the dquot changes and then add
it to the delwri submission list without it having a verifier
attached to it. This then generates warnings in xfs_buf_ioapply(),
which catches and warns about this case.
Fix this and make it handle the same readahead verifier error cases
as for inode buffers by adding a new readahead verifier that has a
write operation as well as a read operation that marks the buffer as
not done if any corruption is detected. Also make sure we don't run
readahead if the dquot buffer has been marked as cancelled by
recovery.
This will result in readahead either succeeding and the buffer
having a valid write verifier, or readahead failing and the buffer
state requiring the subsequent read to resubmit the IO with the new
verifier. In either case, this will result in the buffer always
ending up with a valid write verifier on it.
Note: we also need to fix the inode buffer readahead error handling
to mark the buffer with EIO. Brian noticed the code I copied from
there wrong during review, so fix it at the same time. Add comments
linking the two functions that handle readahead verifier errors
together so we don't forget this behavioural link in future.

Certain types of storage, such as persistent memory, do not provide
sector atomicity for writes. This means that if a crash occurs while XFS
is writing log records, only part of those records might make it to the
storage. This is problematic because log recovery uses the cycle value
packed at the top of each log block to locate the head/tail of the log.
This can lead to CRC verification failures during log recovery and an
unmountable fs for a filesystem that is otherwise consistent.
Update log recovery to incorporate log record CRC verification as part
of the head/tail discovery process. Once the head is located via the
traditional algorithm, run a CRC-only pass over the records up to the
head of the log. If CRC verification fails, assume that the records are
torn as a matter of policy and trim the head block back to the start of
the first bad record.

wrapped around the end of the physical log. Log recovery torn write
detection potentially needs to walk further behind the last record in
the log, as multiple log I/Os can be in-flight at one time during a
crash event.
Therefore, refactor the reverse log record header search mechanism into
a new helper that supports the ability to seek past an arbitrary number
of log records (or until the tail is hit). Update the head/tail search
mechanism to call the new helper, but otherwise there is no change in
