0dc8f7f139 xfs: fix ordering violation between cache flushes and tail updates
There is a race between the new CIL async data device metadata IO
completion cache flush and the log tail in the iclog the flush
covers being updated. This can be seen by repeating generic/482 in a
loop and eventually log recovery fails with a failures such as this:

XFS (dm-3): metadata I/O error in "xlog_recover_items_pass2+0x55/0xc0" at daddr 0x37c00 len 32 error 117

Analysis of the logwrite replay shows that there were no writes to
the data device between the FUA @ write 124 and the FUA at write @
125, but log recovery @ 125 failed. The difference was the one log
write @ 125 moved the tail of the log forwards from (1,8) to (1,32)
and so the inode create intent in (1,8) was not replayed and so the
inode cluster was zero on disk when replay of the first inode item
in (1,32) was attempted.

What this meant was that the journal write that occurred at @ 125
did not ensure that metadata completed before the iclog was written
was correctly on stable storage. The tail of the log moved forward,
so IO must have been completed between the two iclog writes. This
means that there is a race condition between the unconditional async
cache flush in the CIL push work and the tail LSN that is written to
the iclog. This happens like so:

CIL push work				AIL push work
-------------				-------------
Add to committing list
start async data dev cache flush
.....
<flush completes>
<all writes to old tail lsn are stable>
xlog_write
  ....					push inode create buffer
					<start IO>
					.....
xlog_write(commit record)
  ....					<IO completes>
  					log tail moves
  					  xlog_assign_tail_lsn()
start_lsn == commit_lsn
  <no iclog preflush!>
xlog_state_release_iclog
  __xlog_state_release_iclog()
    <writes *new* tail_lsn into iclog>
  xlog_sync()
    ....
    submit_bio()
<tail in log moves forward without flushing written metadata>

Essentially, this can only occur if the commit iclog is issued
without a cache flush. If the iclog bio is submitted with
REQ_PREFLUSH, then it will guarantee that all the completed IO is
one stable storage before the iclog bio with the new tail LSN in it
is written to the log.

IOWs, the tail lsn that is written to the iclog needs to be sampled
*before* we issue the cache flush that guarantees all IO up to that
LSN has been completed.

To fix this without giving up the performance advantage of the
flush/FUA optimisations (e.g. g/482 runtime halves with 5.14-rc1
compared to 5.13), we need to ensure that we always issue a cache
flush if the tail LSN changes between the initial async flush and
the commit record being written. THis requires sampling the tail_lsn
before we start the flush, and then passing the sampled tail LSN to
xlog_state_release_iclog() so it can determine if the the tail LSN
has changed while writing the checkpoint. If the tail LSN has
changed, then it needs to set the NEED_FLUSH flag on the iclog and
we'll issue another cache flush before writing the iclog.

a1bb8505e9 xfs: Fix a CIL UAF by getting get rid of the iclog callback lock
The iclog callback chain has it's own lock. That was added way back
in 2008 by myself to alleviate severe lock contention on the
icloglock in commit 114d23aae512 ("[XFS] Per iclog callback chain
lock"). This was long before delayed logging took the icloglock out
of the hot transaction commit path and removed all contention on it.
Hence the separate ic_callback_lock doesn't serve any scalability
purpose anymore, and hasn't for close on a decade.

Further, we only attach callbacks to iclogs in one place where we
are already taking the icloglock soon after attaching the callbacks.
We also have to drop the icloglock to run callbacks and grab it
immediately afterwards again. So given that the icloglock is no
longer hot, making it cover callbacks again doesn't really change
the locking patterns very much at all.

We also need to extend the icloglock to cover callback addition to
fix a zero-day UAF in the CIL push code. This occurs when shutdown
races with xlog_cil_push_work() and the shutdown runs the callbacks
before the push releases the iclog. This results in the CIL context
structure attached to the iclog being freed by the callback before
the CIL push has finished referencing it, leading to UAF bugs.

Hence, to avoid this UAF, we need the callback attachment to be
atomic with post processing of the commit iclog and references to
the structures being attached to the iclog. This requires holding
the icloglock as that's the only way to serialise iclog state
against a shutdown in progress.

The result is we need to be using the icloglock to protect the
callback list addition and removal and serialise them with shutdown.
That makes the ic_callback_lock redundant and so it can be removed.

5f9b4b0de8 xfs: xfs_log_force_lsn isn't passed a LSN
In doing an investigation into AIL push stalls, I was looking at the
log force code to see if an async CIL push could be done instead.
This lead me to xfs_log_force_lsn() and looking at how it works.

xfs_log_force_lsn() is only called from inode synchronisation
contexts such as fsync(), and it takes the ip->i_itemp->ili_last_lsn
value as the LSN to sync the log to. This gets passed to
xlog_cil_force_lsn() via xfs_log_force_lsn() to flush the CIL to the
journal, and then used by xfs_log_force_lsn() to flush the iclogs to
the journal.

The problem is that ip->i_itemp->ili_last_lsn does not store a
log sequence number. What it stores is passed to it from the
->iop_committing method, which is called by xfs_log_commit_cil().
The value this passes to the iop_committing method is the CIL
context sequence number that the item was committed to.

As it turns out, xlog_cil_force_lsn() converts the sequence to an
actual commit LSN for the related context and returns that to
xfs_log_force_lsn(). xfs_log_force_lsn() overwrites it's "lsn"
variable that contained a sequence with an actual LSN and then uses
that to sync the iclogs.

This caused me some confusion for a while, even though I originally
wrote all this code a decade ago. ->iop_committing is only used by
a couple of log item types, and only inode items use the sequence
number it is passed.

Let's clean up the API, CIL structures and inode log item to call it
a sequence number, and make it clear that the high level code is
using CIL sequence numbers and not on-disk LSNs for integrity
synchronisation purposes.

eef983ffea xfs: journal IO cache flush reductions
Currently every journal IO is issued as REQ_PREFLUSH | REQ_FUA to
guarantee the ordering requirements the journal has w.r.t. metadata
writeback. THe two ordering constraints are:

1. we cannot overwrite metadata in the journal until we guarantee
that the dirty metadata has been written back in place and is
stable.

2. we cannot write back dirty metadata until it has been written to
the journal and guaranteed to be stable (and hence recoverable) in
the journal.

The ordering guarantees of #1 are provided by REQ_PREFLUSH. This
causes the journal IO to issue a cache flush and wait for it to
complete before issuing the write IO to the journal. Hence all
completed metadata IO is guaranteed to be stable before the journal
overwrites the old metadata.

The ordering guarantees of #2 are provided by the REQ_FUA, which
ensures the journal writes do not complete until they are on stable
storage. Hence by the time the last journal IO in a checkpoint
completes, we know that the entire checkpoint is on stable storage
and we can unpin the dirty metadata and allow it to be written back.

This is the mechanism by which ordering was first implemented in XFS
way back in 2002 by commit 95d97c36e5155075ba2eb22b17562cfcc53fcf96
("Add support for drive write cache flushing") in the xfs-archive
tree.

A lot has changed since then, most notably we now use delayed
logging to checkpoint the filesystem to the journal rather than
write each individual transaction to the journal. Cache flushes on
journal IO are necessary when individual transactions are wholly
contained within a single iclog. However, CIL checkpoints are single
transactions that typically span hundreds to thousands of individual
journal writes, and so the requirements for device cache flushing
have changed.

That is, the ordering rules I state above apply to ordering of
atomic transactions recorded in the journal, not to the journal IO
itself. Hence we need to ensure metadata is stable before we start
writing a new transaction to the journal (guarantee #1), and we need
to ensure the entire transaction is stable in the journal before we
start metadata writeback (guarantee #2).

Hence we only need a REQ_PREFLUSH on the journal IO that starts a
new journal transaction to provide #1, and it is not on any other
journal IO done within the context of that journal transaction.

The CIL checkpoint already issues a cache flush before it starts
writing to the log, so we no longer need the iclog IO to issue a
REQ_REFLUSH for us. Hence if XLOG_START_TRANS is passed
to xlog_write(), we no longer need to mark the first iclog in
the log write with REQ_PREFLUSH for this case. As an added bonus,
this ordering mechanism works for both internal and external logs,
meaning we can remove the explicit data device cache flushes from
the iclog write code when using external logs.

Given the new ordering semantics of commit records for the CIL, we
need iclogs containing commit records to issue a REQ_PREFLUSH. We
also require unmount records to do this. Hence for both
XLOG_COMMIT_TRANS and XLOG_UNMOUNT_TRANS xlog_write() calls we need
to mark the first iclog being written with REQ_PREFLUSH.

For both commit records and unmount records, we also want them
immediately on stable storage, so we want to also mark the iclogs
that contain these records to be marked REQ_FUA. That means if a
record is split across multiple iclogs, they are all marked REQ_FUA
and not just the last one so that when the transaction is completed
all the parts of the record are on stable storage.

And for external logs, unmount records need a pre-write data device
cache flush similar to the CIL checkpoint cache pre-flush as the
internal iclog write code does not do this implicitly anymore.

As an optimisation, when the commit record lands in the same iclog
as the journal transaction starts, we don't need to wait for
anything and can simply use REQ_FUA to provide guarantee #2.  This
means that for fsync() heavy workloads, the cache flush behaviour is
completely unchanged and there is no degradation in performance as a
result of optimise the multi-IO transaction case.

The most notable sign that there is less IO latency on my test
machine (nvme SSDs) is that the "noiclogs" rate has dropped
substantially. This metric indicates that the CIL push is blocking
in xlog_get_iclog_space() waiting for iclog IO completion to occur.
With 8 iclogs of 256kB, the rate is appoximately 1 noiclog event to
every 4 iclog writes. IOWs, every 4th call to xlog_get_iclog_space()
is blocking waiting for log IO. With the changes in this patch, this
drops to 1 noiclog event for every 100 iclog writes. Hence it is
clear that log IO is completing much faster than it was previously,
but it is also clear that for large iclog sizes, this isn't the
performance limiting factor on this hardware.

With smaller iclogs (32kB), however, there is a substantial
difference. With the cache flush modifications, the journal is now
running at over 4000 write IOPS, and the journal throughput is
largely identical to the 256kB iclogs and the noiclog event rate
stays low at about 1:50 iclog writes. The existing code tops out at
about 2500 IOPS as the number of cache flushes dominate performance
and latency. The noiclog event rate is about 1:4, and the
performance variance is quite large as the journal throughput can
fall to less than half the peak sustained rate when the cache flush
rate prevents metadata writeback from keeping up and the log runs
out of space and throttles reservations.

As a result:

	logbsize	fsmark create rate	rm -rf
before	32kb		152851+/-5.3e+04	5m28s
patched	32kb		221533+/-1.1e+04	5m24s

before	256kb		220239+/-6.2e+03	4m58s
patched	256kb		228286+/-9.2e+03	5m06s

The rm -rf times are included because I ran them, but the
differences are largely noise. This workload is largely metadata
read IO latency bound and the changes to the journal cache flushing
doesn't really make any noticable difference to behaviour apart from
a reduction in noiclog events from background CIL pushing.

3468bb1ca6 xfs: remove need_start_rec parameter from xlog_write()
The CIL push is the only call to xlog_write that sets this variable
to true. The other callers don't need a start rec, and they tell
xlog_write what to do by passing the type of ophdr they need written
in the flags field. The need_start_rec parameter essentially tells
xlog_write to to write an extra ophdr with a XLOG_START_TRANS type,
so get rid of the variable to do this and pass XLOG_START_TRANS as
the flag value into xlog_write() from the CIL push.

a79b28c284 xfs: separate CIL commit record IO
To allow for iclog IO device cache flush behaviour to be optimised,
we first need to separate out the commit record iclog IO from the
rest of the checkpoint so we can wait for the checkpoint IO to
complete before we issue the commit record.

This separation is only necessary if the commit record is being
written into a different iclog to the start of the checkpoint as the
upcoming cache flushing changes requires completion ordering against
the other iclogs submitted by the checkpoint.

If the entire checkpoint and commit is in the one iclog, then they
are both covered by the one set of cache flush primitives on the
iclog and hence there is no need to separate them for ordering.

Otherwise, we need to wait for all the previous iclogs to complete
so they are ordered correctly and made stable by the REQ_PREFLUSH
that the commit record iclog IO issues. This guarantees that if a
reader sees the commit record in the journal, they will also see the
entire checkpoint that commit record closes off.

This also provides the guarantee that when the commit record IO
completes, we can safely unpin all the log items in the checkpoint
so they can be written back because the entire checkpoint is stable
in the journal.

c7f87f3984 xfs: fix use-after-free on CIL context on shutdown
xlog_wait() on the CIL context can reference a freed context if the
waiter doesn't get scheduled before the CIL context is freed. This
can happen when a task is on the hard throttle and the CIL push
aborts due to a shutdown. This was detected by generic/019:

thread 1			thread 2

__xfs_trans_commit
 xfs_log_commit_cil
  <CIL size over hard throttle limit>
  xlog_wait
   schedule
				xlog_cil_push_work
				wake_up_all
				<shutdown aborts commit>
				xlog_cil_committed
				kmem_free

   remove_wait_queue
    spin_lock_irqsave --> UAF

Fix it by moving the wait queue to the CIL rather than keeping it in
in the CIL context that gets freed on push completion. Because the
wait queue is now independent of the CIL context and we might have
multiple contexts in flight at once, only wake the waiters on the
push throttle when the context we are pushing is over the hard
throttle size threshold.

0e7ab7efe7 xfs: Throttle commits on delayed background CIL push
In certain situations the background CIL push can be indefinitely
delayed. While we have workarounds from the obvious cases now, it
doesn't solve the underlying issue. This issue is that there is no
upper limit on the CIL where we will either force or wait for
a background push to start, hence allowing the CIL to grow without
bound until it consumes all log space.

To fix this, add a new wait queue to the CIL which allows background
pushes to wait for the CIL context to be switched out. This happens
when the push starts, so it will allow us to block incoming
transaction commit completion until the push has started. This will
only affect processes that are running modifications, and only when
the CIL threshold has been significantly overrun.

This has no apparent impact on performance, and doesn't even trigger
until over 45 million inodes had been created in a 16-way fsmark
test on a 2GB log. That was limiting at 64MB of log space used, so
the active CIL size is only about 3% of the total log in that case.
The concurrent removal of those files did not trigger the background
sleep at all.

108a42358a xfs: Lower CIL flush limit for large logs
The current CIL size aggregation limit is 1/8th the log size. This
means for large logs we might be aggregating at least 250MB of dirty objects
in memory before the CIL is flushed to the journal. With CIL shadow
buffers sitting around, this means the CIL is often consuming >500MB
of temporary memory that is all allocated under GFP_NOFS conditions.

Flushing the CIL can take some time to do if there is other IO
ongoing, and can introduce substantial log force latency by itself.
It also pins the memory until the objects are in the AIL and can be
written back and reclaimed by shrinkers. Hence this threshold also
tends to determine the minimum amount of memory XFS can operate in
under heavy modification without triggering the OOM killer.

Modify the CIL space limit to prevent such huge amounts of pinned
metadata from aggregating. We can have 2MB of log IO in flight at
once, so limit aggregation to 16x this size. This threshold was
chosen as it little impact on performance (on 16-way fsmark) or log
traffic but pins a lot less memory on large logs especially under
heavy memory pressure.  An aggregation limit of 8x had 5-10%
performance degradation and a 50% increase in log throughput for
the same workload, so clearly that was too small for highly
concurrent workloads on large logs.

This was found via trace analysis of AIL behaviour. e.g. insertion
from a single CIL flush:

xfs_ail_insert: old lsn 0/0 new lsn 1/3033090 type XFS_LI_INODE flags IN_AIL

$ grep xfs_ail_insert /mnt/scratch/s.t |grep "new lsn 1/3033090" |wc -l
1721823
$

So there were 1.7 million objects inserted into the AIL from this
CIL checkpoint, the first at 2323.392108, the last at 2325.667566 which
was the end of the trace (i.e. it hadn't finished). Clearly a major
problem.

dd401770b0 xfs: refactor and split xfs_log_done()
xfs_log_done() does two separate things. Firstly, it triggers commit
records to be written for permanent transactions, and secondly it
releases or regrants transaction reservation space.

Since delayed logging was introduced, transactions no longer write
directly to the log, hence they never have the XLOG_TIC_INITED flag
cleared on them. Hence transactions never write commit records to
the log and only need to modify reservation space.

Split up xfs_log_done into two parts, and only call the parts of the
operation needed for the context xfs_log_done() is currently being
called from.

7ec949212d xfs: don't try to write a start record into every iclog
The xlog_write() function iterates over iclogs until it completes
writing all the log vectors passed in. The ticket tracks whether
a start record has been written or not, so only the first iclog gets
a start record. We only ever pass single use tickets to
xlog_write() so we only ever need to write a start record once per
xlog_write() call.

Hence we don't need to store whether we should write a start record
in the ticket as the callers provide all the information we need to
determine if a start record should be written. For the moment, we
have to ensure that we clear the XLOG_TIC_INITED appropriately so
the code in xfs_log_done() still works correctly for committing
transactions.

(darrick: Note the slight behavior change that we always deduct the
size of the op header from the ticket, even for unmount records)

associated APIs to write the log buffers to disk.  This requires
various special cases in the log code and is generally not very
optimal.

Instead of using a buffer just allocate a kmem_alloc_larger region for
each log buffer, and use a bio and bio_vec array embedded in the iclog
structure to write the buffer to disk.  This also allows for using
the bio split and chaining case to deal with the case of a log
buffer wrapping around the end of the log.

and modified by the following command:

for f in `git grep -l "GNU General" fs/xfs/` ; do
	echo $f
	cat $f | awk -f hdr.awk > $f.new
	mv -f $f.new $f
done

And the hdr.awk script that did the modification (including

is as follows:

$ cat hdr.awk
BEGIN {
	hdr = 1.0
	tag = "GPL-2.0"
	str = ""

6aa7de0591 locking/atomics: COCCINELLE/treewide: Convert trivial ACCESS_ONCE() patterns to READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE()
Please do not apply this to mainline directly, instead please re-run the
coccinelle script shown below and apply its output.

For several reasons, it is desirable to use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() in
preference to ACCESS_ONCE(), and new code is expected to use one of the
former. So far, there's been no reason to change most existing uses of
ACCESS_ONCE(), as these aren't harmful, and changing them results in
churn.

However, for some features, the read/write distinction is critical to
correct operation. To distinguish these cases, separate read/write
accessors must be used. This patch migrates (most) remaining
ACCESS_ONCE() instances to {READ,WRITE}_ONCE(), using the following
coccinelle script:

----
// Convert trivial ACCESS_ONCE() uses to equivalent READ_ONCE() and
// WRITE_ONCE()

// $ make coccicheck COCCI=/home/mark/once.cocci SPFLAGS="--include-headers" MODE=patch

d4ca1d550d xfs: dump transaction usage details on log reservation overrun
If a transaction log reservation overrun occurs, the ticket data
associated with the reservation is dumped in xfs_log_commit_cil().
This occurs long after the transaction items and details have been
removed from the transaction and effectively lost. This limited set
of ticket data provides very little information to support debugging
transaction overruns based on the typical report.

To improve transaction log reservation overrun reporting, create a
helper to dump transaction details such as log items, log vector
data, etc., as well as the underlying ticket data for the
transaction. Move the overrun detection from xfs_log_commit_cil() to
xlog_cil_insert_items() so it occurs prior to migration of the
logged items to the CIL. Call the new helper such that it is able to
dump this transaction data before it is lost.

Also, warn on overrun to provide callstack context for the offending
transaction and include a few additional messages from
xlog_cil_insert_items() to display the reservation consumed locally
for overhead such as log vector headers, split region headers and
the context ticket. This provides a complete general breakdown of
the reservation consumption of a transaction when/if it happens to
overrun the reservation.

12818d24db xfs: rework log recovery to submit buffers on LSN boundaries
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.

609adfc2ed xfs: debug mode log record crc error injection
XFS now uses CRC verification over a limited section of the log to
detect torn writes prior to a crash. This is difficult to test directly
due to the timing and hardware requirements to cause a short write.

Add a mechanism to inject CRC errors into log records to facilitate
testing torn write detection during log recovery. This mechanism is
dangerous and can result in filesystem corruption. Thus, it is only
available in DEBUG mode for testing/development purposes. Set a non-zero
value to the following sysfs entry to enable error injection:

	/sys/fs/xfs/<dev>/log/log_badcrc_factor

Once enabled, XFS intentionally writes an invalid CRC to a log record at
some random point in the future based on the provided frequency. The
filesystem immediately shuts down once the record has been written to
the physical log to prevent metadata writeback (e.g., AIL insertion)
once the log write completes. This helps reasonably simulate a torn
write to the log as the affected record must be safe to discard. The
next mount after the intentional shutdown requires log recovery and
should detect and recover from the torn write.

Note again that this _will_ result in data loss or worse. For testing
and development purposes only!

a45086e27d xfs: validate metadata LSNs against log on v5 superblocks
Since the onset of v5 superblocks, the LSN of the last modification has
been included in a variety of on-disk data structures. This LSN is used
to provide log recovery ordering guarantees (e.g., to ensure an older
log recovery item is not replayed over a newer target data structure).

While this works correctly from the point a filesystem is formatted and
mounted, userspace tools have some problematic behaviors that defeat
this mechanism. For example, xfs_repair historically zeroes out the log
unconditionally (regardless of whether corruption is detected). If this
occurs, the LSN of the filesystem is reset and the log is now in a
problematic state with respect to on-disk metadata structures that might
have a larger LSN. Until either the log catches up to the highest
previously used metadata LSN or each affected data structure is modified
and written out without incident (which resets the metadata LSN), log
recovery is susceptible to filesystem corruption.

This problem is ultimately addressed and repaired in the associated
userspace tools. The kernel is still responsible to detect the problem
and notify the user that something is wrong. Check the superblock LSN at
mount time and fail the mount if it is invalid. From that point on,
trigger verifier failure on any metadata I/O where an invalid LSN is
detected. This results in a filesystem shutdown and guarantees that we
do not log metadata changes with invalid LSNs on disk. Since this is a
known issue with a known recovery path, present a warning to instruct
the user how to recover.

f0b2efad16 xfs: don't leave EFIs on AIL on mount failure
Log recovery occurs in two phases at mount time. In the first phase,
EFIs and EFDs are processed and potentially cancelled out. EFIs without
EFD objects are inserted into the AIL for processing and recovery in the
second phase. xfs_mountfs() runs various other operations between the
phases and is thus subject to failure. If failure occurs after the first
phase but before the second, pending EFIs sit on the AIL, pin it and
cause the mount to hang.

Update the mount sequence to ensure that pending EFIs are cancelled in
the event of failure. Add a recovery cancellation mechanism to iterate
the AIL and cancel all EFI items when requested. Plumb cancellation
support through the log mount finish helper and update xfs_mountfs() to
invoke cancellation in the event of failure after recovery has started.

239880ef64 xfs: decouple log and transaction headers
xfs_trans.h has a dependency on xfs_log.h for a couple of

anything about the log, but this dependency means that they have to

files and clean up the includes to be in dependency order.

In doing this, remove the direct include of xfs_trans_reserve.h from
xfs_trans.h so that we remove the dependency between xfs_trans.h and
xfs_mount.h. Hence the xfs_trans.h include can be moved to the
indicate the actual dependencies other header files have on it.

Note that these are kernel only header files, so this does not
translate to any userspace changes at all.

space. The short story of the hang on the RHEL6 kernel is this:

	- the tail of the log is pinned by an inode
	- the inode has been pushed by the xfsaild
	- the inode has been flushed to it's backing buffer and is
	  currently flush locked and hence waiting for backing
	  buffer IO to complete and remove it from the AIL
	- the backing buffer is marked for write - it is on the
	  delayed write queue
	- the inode buffer has been modified directly and logged
	  recently due to unlinked inode list modification
	- the backing buffer is pinned in memory as it is in the
	  active CIL context.
	- the xfsbufd won't start buffer writeback because it is
	  pinned
	- xfssyncd won't force the log because it sees the log as
	  needing to be covered and hence wants to issue a dummy
	  transaction to move the log covering state machine along.

Hence there is no trigger to force the CIL to the log and hence
unpin the inode buffer and therefore complete the inode IO, remove
it from the AIL and hence move the tail of the log along, allowing
transactions to start again.

Mainline kernels also have the same deadlock, though the signature
is slightly different - the inode buffer never reaches the delayed
write lists because xfs_buf_item_push() sees that it is pinned and
hence never adds it to the delayed write list that the xfsaild
flushes.

There are two possible solutions here. The first is to simply force
the log before trying to cover the log and so ensure that the CIL is
emptied before we try to reserve space for the dummy transaction in
the xfs_log_worker(). While this might work most of the time, it is
still racy and is no guarantee that we don't get stuck in
xfs_trans_reserve waiting for log space to come free. Hence it's not
the best way to solve the problem.

The second solution is to modify xfs_log_need_covered() to be aware
of the CIL. We only should be attempting to cover the log if there
is no current activity in the log - covering the log is the process
of ensuring that the head and tail in the log on disk are identical
(i.e. the log is clean and at idle). Hence, by definition, if there
are items in the CIL then the log is not at idle and so we don't
need to attempt to cover it.

When we don't need to cover the log because it is active or idle, we
issue a log force from xfs_log_worker() - if the log is idle, then
this does nothing.  However, if the log is active due to there being
items in the CIL, it will force the items in the CIL to the log and
unpin them.

In the case of the above deadlock scenario, instead of
xfs_log_worker() getting stuck in xfs_trans_reserve() attempting to
cover the log, it will instead force the log, thereby unpinning the
inode buffer, allowing IO to be issued and complete and hence
removing the inode that was pinning the tail of the log from the
AIL. At that point, everything will start moving along again. i.e.
the xfs_log_worker turns back into a watchdog that can alleviate
deadlocks based around pinned items that prevent the tail of the log
from being moved...

4bb928cdb9 xfs: split the CIL lock
The xc_cil_lock is used for two purposes - to protect the CIL
itself, and to protect the push/commit state and lists. These are
two logically separate structures and operations, so can have their
own locks. This means that pushing on the CIL and the commit wait
ordering won't contend for a lock with other transactions that are
completing concurrently. As the CIL insertion is the hottest path
throught eh CIL, this is a big win.

fc06c6d064 xfs: separate out log format definitions
The on-disk format definitions for the log are spread randoms
through a couple of header files. Consolidate it all in a single
file that can be shared easily with userspace. This means that
xfs_log.h and xfs_log_priv.h no longer need to be shared with
userspace.

f9668a09e3 xfs: fix sparse reported log CRC endian issue
Not a bug as such, just warning noise from the xlog_cksum()
returning a __be32 type when it should be returning a __le32 type.

Because the CRC always returns the calcuation LE format, even on BE
systems. So rather than always having to byte swap it everywhere and
have all the force casts and anootations for sparse, it seems simpler to
just make it a __le32 everywhere....
