0af32fb468 xfs: fix bogus space reservation in xfs_iomap_write_allocate
The space reservations was without an explaination in commit

    "Add error reporting calls in error paths that return EFSCORRUPTED"

back in 2003.  There is no reason to reserve disk blocks in the
transaction when allocating blocks for delalloc space as we already
reserved the space when creating the delalloc extent.

With this fix we stop running out of the reserved pool in
generic/229, which has happened for long time with small blocksize
file systems, and has increased in severity with the new buffered
write path.

[ dchinner: we still need to pass the block reservation into
  xfs_bmapi_write() to ensure we don't deadlock during AG selection.
  See commit dbd5c8c ("xfs: pass total block res. as total
  xfs_bmapi_write() parameter") for more details on why this is
  necessary. ]

f6106efae5 xfs: eliminate committed arg from xfs_bmap_finish
Calls to xfs_bmap_finish() and xfs_trans_ijoin(), and the
associated comments were replicated several times across
the attribute code, all dealing with what to do if the
transaction was or wasn't committed.

And in that replicated code, an ASSERT() test of an
uninitialized variable occurs in several locations:

	error = xfs_attr_thing(&args);
	if (!error) {
		error = xfs_bmap_finish(&args.trans, args.flist,
					&committed);
	}
	if (error) {
		ASSERT(committed);

If the first xfs_attr_thing() failed, we'd skip the xfs_bmap_finish,
never set "committed", and then test it in the ASSERT.

Fix this up by moving the committed state internal to xfs_bmap_finish,
and add a new inode argument.  If an inode is passed in, it is passed
through to __xfs_trans_roll() and joined to the transaction there if
the transaction was committed.

xfs_qm_dqalloc() was a little unique in that it called bjoin rather
than ijoin, but as Dave points out we can detect the committed state
but checking whether (*tpp != tp).

3b0fe47805 xfs: Don't use reserved blocks for data blocks with DAX
Commit 1ca1915 ("xfs: Don't use unwritten extents for DAX") enabled
the DAX allocation call to dip into the reserve pool in case it was
converting unwritten extents rather than allocating blocks. This was
a direct copy of the unwritten extent conversion code, but had an
unintended side effect of allowing normal data block allocation to
use the reserve pool. Hence normal block allocation could deplete
the reserve pool and prevent unwritten extent conversion at ENOSPC,
hence violating fallocate guarantees on preallocated space.

Fix it by checking whether the incoming map from __xfs_get_blocks()
spans an unwritten extent and only use the reserve pool if the
allocation covers an unwritten extent.

1ca191576f xfs: Don't use unwritten extents for DAX
DAX has a page fault serialisation problem with block allocation.
Because it allows concurrent page faults and does not have a page
lock to serialise faults to the same page, it can get two concurrent
faults to the page that race.

When two read faults race, this isn't a huge problem as the data
underlying the page is not changing and so "detect and drop" works
just fine. The issues are to do with write faults.

When two write faults occur, we serialise block allocation in
get_blocks() so only one faul will allocate the extent. It will,
however, be marked as an unwritten extent, and that is where the
problem lies - the DAX fault code cannot differentiate between a
block that was just allocated and a block that was preallocated and
needs zeroing. The result is that both write faults end up zeroing
the block and attempting to convert it back to written.

The problem is that the first fault can zero and convert before the
second fault starts zeroing, resulting in the zeroing for the second
fault overwriting the data that the first fault wrote with zeros.
The second fault then attempts to convert the unwritten extent,
which is then a no-op because it's already written. Data loss occurs
as a result of this race.

Because there is no sane locking construct in the page fault code
that we can use for serialisation across the page faults, we need to
ensure block allocation and zeroing occurs atomically in the
filesystem. This means we can still take concurrent page faults and
the only time they will serialise is in the filesystem
mapping/allocation callback. The page fault code will always see
written, initialised extents, so we will be able to remove the
unwritten extent handling from the DAX code when all filesystems are
converted.

dbd5c8c9a2 xfs: pass total block res. as total xfs_bmapi_write() parameter
The total field from struct xfs_alloc_arg is a bit of an unknown
commodity. It is documented as the total block requirement for the
transaction and is used in this manner from most call sites by virtue of
passing the total block reservation of the transaction associated with
an allocation. Several xfs_bmapi_write() callers pass hardcoded values
of 0 or 1 for the total block requirement, which is a historical oddity
without any clear reasoning.

The xfs_iomap_write_direct() caller, for example, passes 0 for the total
block requirement. This has been determined to cause problems in the
form of ABBA deadlocks of AGF buffers due to incorrect AG selection in
the block allocator. Specifically, the xfs_alloc_space_available()
function incorrectly selects an AG that doesn't actually have sufficient
space for the allocation. This occurs because the args.total field is 0
and thus the remaining free space check on the AG doesn't actually
consider the size of the allocation request. This locks the AGF buffer,
the allocation attempt proceeds and ultimately fails (in
xfs_alloc_fix_minleft()), and xfs_alloc_vexent() moves on to the next
AG. In turn, this can lead to incorrect AG locking order (if the
allocator wraps around, attempting to lock AG 0 after acquiring AG N)
and thus deadlock if racing with another operation. This problem has
been reproduced via generic/299 on smallish (1GB) ramdisk test devices.

To avoid this problem, replace the undocumented hardcoded total
parameters from the iomap and utility callers to pass the block
reservation used for the associated transaction. This is consistent with
other xfs_bmapi_write() callers throughout XFS. The assumption is that
the total field allows the selection of an AG that can handle the entire
operation rather than simply the allocation/range being requested (e.g.,
resulting btree splits, etc.). This addresses the aforementioned
generic/299 hang by ensuring AG selection only occurs when the
allocation can be satisfied by the AG.

009c6e871e xfs: add missing ilock around dio write last extent alignment
The iomap codepath (via get_blocks()) acquires and release the inode
lock in the case of a direct write that requires block allocation. This
is because xfs_iomap_write_direct() allocates a transaction, which means
the ilock must be dropped and reacquired after the transaction is
allocated and reserved.

xfs_iomap_write_direct() invokes xfs_iomap_eof_align_last_fsb() before
the transaction is created and thus before the ilock is reacquired. This
can lead to calls to xfs_iread_extents() and reads of the in-core extent
list without any synchronization (via xfs_bmap_eof() and
xfs_bmap_last_extent()). xfs_iread_extents() assert fails if the ilock
is not held, but this is not currently seen in practice as the current
callers had already invoked xfs_bmapi_read().

What has been seen in practice are reports of crashes down in the
xfs_bmap_eof() codepath on direct writes due to seemingly bogus pointer
references from xfs_iext_get_ext(). While an explicit reproducer is not
currently available to confirm the cause of the problem, crash analysis
and code inspection from David Jeffrey had identified the insufficient
locking.

xfs_iomap_eof_align_last_fsb() is called from other contexts with the
inode lock already held, so we cannot acquire it therein.
__xfs_get_blocks() acquires and drops the ilock with variable flags to
cover the event that the extent list must be read in. The common case is
that __xfs_get_blocks() acquires the shared ilock. To provide locking
around the last extent alignment call without adding more lock cycles to
the dio path, update xfs_iomap_write_direct() to expect the shared ilock
held on entry and do the extent alignment under its protection. Demote
the lock, if necessary, from __xfs_get_blocks() and push the
xfs_qm_dqattach() call outside of the shared lock critical section.
Also, add an assert to document that the extent list is always expected
to be present in this path. Otherwise, we risk a call to
xfs_iread_extents() while under the shared ilock. This is safe as all
current callers have executed an xfs_bmapi_read() call under the current
iolock context.

70393313dd xfs: saner xfs_trans_commit interface
The flags argument to xfs_trans_commit is not useful for most callers, as
a commit of a transaction without a permanent log reservation must pass

introduce low-level __xfs_trans_commit variant just for xfs_trans_roll
that regrants a log reservation instead of releasing it.

4906e21545 xfs: remove the flags argument to xfs_trans_cancel
xfs_trans_cancel takes two flags arguments: XFS_TRANS_RELEASE_LOG_RES and
XFS_TRANS_ABORT.  Both of them are a direct product of the transaction
state, and can be deducted:

 - any dirty transaction needs XFS_TRANS_ABORT to be properly canceled,
   and XFS_TRANS_ABORT is a noop for a transaction that is not dirty.
 - any transaction with a permanent log reservation needs
   XFS_TRANS_RELEASE_LOG_RES to be properly canceled, and passing
   XFS_TRANS_RELEASE_LOG_RES for a transaction without a permanent
   log reservation is invalid.

So just remove the flags argument and do the right thing.

0d485ada40 xfs: use generic percpu counters for free block counter
XFS has hand-rolled per-cpu counters for the superblock since before
there was any generic implementation. The free block counter is
special in that it is used for ENOSPC detection outside transaction
contexts for for delayed allocation. This means that the counter
needs to be accurate at zero. The current per-cpu counter code jumps
through lots of hoops to ensure we never run past zero, but we don't
need to make all those jumps with the generic counter
implementation.

The generic counter implementation allows us to pass a "batch"
threshold at which the addition/subtraction to the counter value
will be folded back into global value under lock. We can use this
feature to reduce the batch size as we approach 0 in a very similar
manner to the existing counters and their rebalance algorithm. If we
use a batch size of 1 as we approach 0, then every addition and
subtraction will be done against the global value and hence allow
accurate detection of zero threshold crossing.

Hence we can replace the handrolled, accurate-at-zero counters with
generic percpu counters.

Note: this removes just enough of the icsb infrastructure to compile
without warnings. The rest will go in subsequent commits.

cf11da9c5d xfs: refine the allocation stack switch
The allocation stack switch at xfs_bmapi_allocate() has served it's
purpose, but is no longer a sufficient solution to the stack usage
problem we have in the XFS allocation path.

Whilst the kernel stack size is now 16k, that is not a valid reason
for undoing all our "keep stack usage down" modifications. What it
does allow us to do is have the freedom to refine and perfect the
modifications knowing that if we get it wrong it won't blow up in
our faces - we have a safety net now.

This is important because we still have the issue of older kernels
having smaller stacks and that they are still supported and are
demonstrating a wide range of different stack overflows.  Red Hat
has several open bugs for allocation based stack overflows from
directory modifications and direct IO block allocation and these
problems still need to be solved. If we can solve them upstream,
then distro's won't need to bake their own unique solutions.

To that end, I've observed that every allocation based stack
overflow report has had a specific characteristic - it has happened
during or directly after a bmap btree block split. That event
requires a new block to be allocated to the tree, and so we
effectively stack one allocation stack on top of another, and that's
when we get into trouble.

A further observation is that bmap btree block splits are much rarer
than writeback allocation - over a range of different workloads I've
observed the ratio of bmap btree inserts to splits ranges from 100:1
(xfstests run) to 10000:1 (local VM image server with sparse files
that range in the hundreds of thousands to millions of extents).
Either way, bmap btree split events are much, much rarer than
allocation events.

Finally, we have to move the kswapd state to the allocation workqueue
work when allocation is done on behalf of kswapd. This is proving to
cause significant perturbation in performance under memory pressure
and appears to be generating allocation deadlock warnings under some
workloads, so avoiding the use of a workqueue for the majority of
kswapd writeback allocation will minimise the impact of such
behaviour.

Hence it makes sense to move the stack switch to xfs_btree_split()
and only do it for bmap btree splits. Stack switches during
allocation will be much rarer, so there won't be significant
performacne overhead caused by switching stacks. The worse case
stack from all allocation paths will be split, not just writeback.
And the majority of memory allocations will be done in the correct
context (e.g. kswapd) without causing additional latency, and so we
simplify the memory reclaim interactions between processes,
workqueues and kswapd.

The worst stack I've been able to generate with this patch in place
is 5600 bytes deep. It's very revealing because we exit XFS at:

37)     1768      64   kmem_cache_alloc+0x13b/0x170

about 1800 bytes of stack consumed, and the remaining 3800 bytes
(and 36 functions) is memory reclaim, swap and the IO stack. And
this occurs in the inode allocation from an open(O_CREAT) syscall,
not writeback.

The amount of stack being used is much less than I've previously be
able to generate - fs_mark testing has been able to generate stack
usage of around 7k without too much trouble; with this patch it's
only just getting to 5.5k. This is primarily because the metadata
allocation paths (e.g. directory blocks) are no longer causing
double splits on the same stack, and hence now stack tracing is
showing swapping being the worst stack consumer rather than XFS.

Performance of fs_mark inode create workloads is unchanged.
Performance of fs_mark async fsync workloads is consistently good
with context switches reduced by around 150,000/s (30%).
Performance of dbench, streaming IO and postmark is unchanged.
Allocation deadlock warnings have not been seen on the workloads
that generated them since adding this patch.

d531d91d69 xfs: always use unwritten extents for direct I/O writes
To allow aio writes beyond i_size we need to create unwritten extents for
newly allocated blocks, similar to how we already do inside i_size.

Instead of adding another special case we now use unwritten extents
unconditionally.  This also marks the end of directly allocation data
extents in all of XFS - we now always use either delalloc or unwritten
extents.

a4fbe6ab1e xfs: decouple inode and bmap btree header files
Currently the xfs_inode.h header has a dependency on the definition
of the BMAP btree records as the inode fork includes an array of
xfs_bmbt_rec_host_t objects in it's definition.

Move all the btree format definitions from xfs_btree.h,
xfs_bmap_btree.h, xfs_alloc_btree.h and xfs_ialloc_btree.h to
xfs_format.h to continue the process of centralising the on-disk
format definitions. With this done, the xfs inode definitions are no
longer dependent on btree header files.

The enables a massive culling of unnecessary includes, with close to
200 #include directives removed from the XFS kernel code base.

239880ef64 xfs: decouple log and transaction headers
xfs_trans.h has a dependency on xfs_log.h for a couple of
structures. Most code that does transactions doesn't need to know
anything about the log, but this dependency means that they have to
include xfs_log.h. Decouple the xfs_trans.h and xfs_log.h header
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.

70a9883c5f xfs: create a shared header file for format-related information
All of the buffer operations structures are needed to be exported
for xfs_db, so move them all to a common location rather than
spreading them all over the place. They are verifying the on-disk
format, so while xfs_format.h might be a good place, it is not part
of the on disk format.

Hence we need to create a new header file that we centralise these
related definitions. Start by moving the bffer operations
structures, and then also move all the other definitions that have
crept into xfs_log_format.h and xfs_format.h as there was no other
shared header file to put them in.

6898811459 xfs: create xfs_bmap_util.[ch]
There is a bunch of code in xfs_bmap.c that is kernel specific and
not shared with userspace. To minimise the difference between the
kernel and userspace code, shift this unshared code to
xfs_bmap_util.c, and the declarations to xfs_bmap_util.h.

The biggest issue here is xfs_bmap_finish() - userspace has it's own
definition of this function, and so we need to move it out of
xfs_bmap.[ch]. This means several other files need to include
xfs_bmap_util.h as well.

It also introduces and interesting dance for the stack switching
code in xfs_bmapi_allocate(). The stack switching/workqueue code is
actually moved to xfs_bmap_util.c, so that userspace can simply use
a #define in a header file to connect the dots without needing to
know about the stack switch code at all.
