Doing background CIL flushes adds significant latency to whatever
async transaction that triggers it. To avoid blocking async
transactions on things like waiting for log buffer IO to complete,
move the CIL push off into a workqueue. By moving the push work
into a workqueue, we remove all the latency that the commit adds
from the foreground transaction commit path. This also means that
single threaded workloads won't do the CIL push procssing, leaving
them more CPU to do more async transactions.
To do this, we need to keep track of the sequence number we have
pushed work for. This avoids having many transaction commits
attempting to schedule work for the same sequence, and ensures that
we only ever have one push (background or forced) in progress at a
time. It also means that we don't need to take the CIL lock in write
mode to check for potential background push races, which reduces
lock contention.
To avoid potential issues with "smart" IO schedulers, don't use the
workqueue for log force triggered flushes. Instead, do them directly
so that the log IO is done directly by the process issuing the log
force and so doesn't get stuck on IO elevator queue idling
incorrectly delaying the log IO from the workqueue.

Queue delwri buffers on a local on-stack list instead of a per-buftarg one,
and write back the buffers per-process instead of by waking up xfsbufd.
This is now easily doable given that we have very few places left that write
delwri buffers:
- log recovery:
Only done at mount time, and already forcing out the buffers
synchronously using xfs_flush_buftarg
- quotacheck:
Same story.
- dquot reclaim:
Writes out dirty dquots on the LRU under memory pressure. We might
want to look into doing more of this via xfsaild, but it's already
more optimal than the synchronous inode reclaim that writes each
buffer synchronously.
- xfsaild:
This is the main beneficiary of the change. By keeping a local list
of buffers to write we reduce latency of writing out buffers, and
more importably we can remove all the delwri list promotions which
were hitting the buffer cache hard under sustained metadata loads.
The implementation is very straight forward - xfs_buf_delwri_queue now gets
a new list_head pointer that it adds the delwri buffers to, and all callers
need to eventually submit the list using xfs_buf_delwi_submit or
xfs_buf_delwi_submit_nowait. Buffers that already are on a delwri list are
skipped in xfs_buf_delwri_queue, assuming they already are on another delwri
list. The biggest change to pass down the buffer list was done to the AIL
pushing. Now that we operate on buffers the trylock, push and pushbuf log
item methods are merged into a single push routine, which tries to lock the
item, and if possible add the buffer that needs writeback to the buffer list.
This leads to much simpler code than the previous split but requires the
individual IOP_PUSH instances to unlock and reacquire the AIL around calls
to blocking routines.
Given that xfsailds now also handle writing out buffers, the conditions for
log forcing and the sleep times needed some small changes. The most
important one is that we consider an AIL busy as long we still have buffers
to push, and the other one is that we do increment the pushed LSN for
buffers that are under flushing at this moment, but still count them towards
the stuck items for restart purposes. Without this we could hammer on stuck
items without ever forcing the log and not make progress under heavy random
delete workloads on fast flash storage devices.
[ Dave Chinner:
- rebase on previous patches.
- improved comments for XBF_DELWRI_Q handling
- fix XBF_ASYNC handling in queue submission (test 106 failure)

Instead of adding buffers to the delwri list as soon as they are logged,
even if they can't be written until commited because they are pinned
defer adding them to the delwri list until xfsaild pushes them. This
makes the code more similar to other log items and prepares for writing
buffers directly from xfsaild.
The complication here is that we need to fail buffers that were added

Now that we write back all metadata either synchronously or through
the AIL we can simply implement metadata freezing in terms of
emptying the AIL.
The implementation for this is fairly simply and straight-forward:
A new routine is added that asks the xfsaild to push the AIL to the
end and waits for it to complete and send a wakeup. The routine will
then loop if the AIL is not actually empty, and continue to do so
until the AIL is compeltely empty.
We keep an inode reclaim pass in the freeze process to avoid having
memory pressure have to reclaim inodes that require dirtying the
filesystem to be reclaimed after the freeze has completed. This
means we can also treat unmount in the exact same way as freeze.
As an upside we can now remove the radix tree based inode writeback
and xfs_unmountfs_writesb.

I've been seeing regular ASSERT failures in xfstests when running
fsstress based tests over the past month. xfs_getbmap() has been
failing this test:
XFS: Assertion failed: ((iflags & BMV_IF_DELALLOC) != 0) ||
(map[i].br_startblock != DELAYSTARTBLOCK), file: fs/xfs/xfs_bmap.c,
line: 5650
where it is encountering a delayed allocation extent after writing
all the dirty data to disk and then walking the extent map
atomically by holding the XFS_IOLOCK_SHARED to prevent new delayed
allocation extents from being created.
Test 083 on a 512 byte block size filesystem was used to reproduce
the problem, because it only had a 5s run timeand would usually fail
every 3-4 runs. This test is exercising ENOSPC behaviour by running
fsstress on a nearly full filesystem. The following trace extract
shows the final few events on the inode that tripped the assert:
xfs_ilock: flags ILOCK_EXCL caller xfs_setfilesize

And failing the retry, giving a real ENOSPC error.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The smoking gun - the write being failed and cleaning up delalloc
blocks beyond EOF allocated by the failed write.
xfs_getattr:
xfs_ilock: flags IOLOCK_SHARED caller xfs_getbmap
xfs_ilock: flags ILOCK_SHARED caller xfs_ilock_map_shared
And that's where we died almost immediately afterwards.
xfs_bmapi_read() found delalloc extent beyond current file in memory
file size. Some debug I added to xfs_getbmap() showed the state just
before the assert failure:
ino 0x80e48: off 0xc00, fsb 0xffffffffffffffff, len 0x1, size 0x180000
start_fsb 0x106, end_fsb 0x638
ino flags 0x2 nex 0xd bmvcnt 0x555, len 0x3c58a6f23c0bf1, start 0xc00
ext 0: off 0x1fc, fsb 0x24782, len 0x254
ext 1: off 0x450, fsb 0x40851, len 0x30
ext 2: off 0x480, fsb 0xd99, len 0x1b8
ext 3: off 0x92f, fsb 0x4099a, len 0x3b
ext 4: off 0x96d, fsb 0x41844, len 0x98
ext 5: off 0xbf1, fsb 0x408ab, len 0xf
which shows that we found a single delalloc block beyond EOF (first
line of output) when we were returning the map for a length
somewhere around 10^16 bytes long (second line), and the on-disk
extents showed they didn't go past EOF (last lines).
Further debug added to xfs_vm_write_failed() showed this happened
when punching out delalloc blocks beyond the end of the file after
the failed write:
[ 132.606693] ino 0x80e48: vwf to 0x181000, sze 0x180000
[ 132.609573] start_fsb 0xc01, end_fsb 0xc08
It punched the range 0xc01 -> 0xc08, but the range we really need to
punch is 0xc00 -> 0xc07 (8 blocks from 0xc00) as this testing was
run on a 512 byte block size filesystem (8 blocks per page).
the punch from is 0xc00. So end_fsb is correct, but start_fsb is
wrong as we punch from start_fsb for (end_fsb - start_fsb) blocks.
Hence we are not punching the delalloc block beyond EOF in the case.
The fix is simple - it's a silly off-by-one mistake in calculating
the range. It's especially silly because the macro used to calculate
the start_fsb already takes into account the case where the inode
size is an exact multiple of the filesystem block size...

Because the mount process can run a quotacheck and consume lots of
inodes, we need to be able to run periodic inode reclaim during the
mount process. This will prevent running the system out of memory
during quota checks.
This essentially reverts 2bcf6e97, but that is safe to do now that
the quota sync code that was causing problems during long quotacheck
executions is now gone.
The reclaim work is currently protected from running during the
unmount process by a check against MS_ACTIVE. Unfortunately, this
also means that the reclaim work cannot run during mount. The
unmount process should stop the reclaim cleanly before freeing
anything that the reclaim work depends on, so there is no need to
have this guard in place.
Also, the inode reclaim work is demand driven, so there is no need
to start it immediately during mount. It will be started the moment
an inode is queued for reclaim, so qutoacheck will trigger it just
fine.

I have a new optimized x86 "strncpy_from_user()" that will use these
same helper functions for all the same reasons the name lookup code uses
them. This is preparation for that.
This moves them into an architecture-specific header file. It's
architecture-specific for two reasons:
- some of the functions are likely to want architecture-specific
implementations. Even if the current code happens to be "generic" in
the sense that it should work on any little-endian machine, it's
likely that the "multiply by a big constant and shift" implementation
is less than optimal for an architecture that has a guaranteed fast
bit count instruction, for example.
- I expect that if architectures like sparc want to start playing
around with this, we'll need to abstract out a few more details (in
particular the actual unaligned accesses). So we're likely to have
more architecture-specific stuff if non-x86 architectures start using
this.
(and if it turns out that non-x86 architectures don't start using
this, then having it in an architecture-specific header is still the
right thing to do, of course)

debugfs and a few other drivers use an open-coded version of
simple_open() to pass a pointer from the file to the read/write file
ops. Add support for this simple case to libfs so that we can remove
the many duplicate copies of this simple function.

It was introduced by d1d5e05ffd ("hugetlbfs: return error code when
initializing module") but as Al pointed out, is a bad idea.
Quoted comments from Al:
"Note that unregister_filesystem() in module init is *always* wrong;
it's not an issue here (it's done too early to care about and
realistically the box is not going anywhere - it'll panic when attempt
to exec /sbin/init fails, if not earlier), but it's a damn bad
example.
Consider a normal fs module. Somebody loads it and in parallel with
that we get a mount attempt on that fs type. It comes between
register and failure exits that causes unregister; at that point we
are screwed since grabbing a reference to module as done by mount is
enough to prevent exit, but not to prevent the failure of init. As
the result, module will get freed when init fails, mounted fs of that
type be damned."
So remove it.

This allocation can be as large as 64k. As David points out, "falling
back to vmalloc here is much better solution than failing to retreive
the attribute - it will work no matter how fragmented memory gets. That
means we don't get incomplete backups occurring after days or months of
uptime and successful backups".

This size is user controllable, up to a maximum of XATTR_LIST_MAX (64k).
So it's trivial for someone to trigger a stream of order:4 page

The proc_parse_options() call from proc_mount() runs only once at boot
time. So on any later mount attempt, any mount options are ignored
because ->s_root is already initialized.
As a consequence, "mount -o <options>" will ignore the options. The
only way to change mount options is "mount -o remount,<options>".
To fix this, parse the mount options unconditionally.

Fix UNC parsing on mount
Remove unnecessary check for NULL in password parser
CIFS: Fix VFS lock usage for oplocked files
Revert "CIFS: Fix VFS lock usage for oplocked files"
cifs: writing past end of struct in cifs_convert_address()

CIFS: Fix VFS lock usage for oplocked files
The code cleanup of cifs_parse_mount_options resulted in a new bug being
introduced in the parsing of the UNC. This results in vol->UNC being
modified before vol->UNC was allocated.

The password parser has an unnecessary check for a NULL value which
triggers warnings in source checking tools. The code contains artifacts
from the old parsing code which are no longer required.

We can deadlock if we have a write oplock and two processes
use the same file handle. In this case the first process can't
unlock its lock if the second process blocked on the lock in the
same time.
Fix it by using posix_lock_file rather than posix_lock_file_wait
under cinode->lock_mutex. If we request a blocking lock and
posix_lock_file indicates that there is another lock that prevents
us, wait untill that lock is released and restart our call.

Split __lookup_hash into two component functions:
lookup_dcache - tries cached lookup, returns whether real lookup is needed
lookup_real - calls i_op->lookup
This eliminates code duplication between d_alloc_and_lookup() and
d_inode_lookup().

Everything arriving into if (!dentry) will have need_reval = 1.
Indeed, the only way to get there with need_reval reset to 0 would
be via
if (unlikely(d_need_lookup(dentry)))
goto unlazy;
if (unlikely(dentry->d_flags & DCACHE_OP_REVALIDATE)) {
status = d_revalidate(dentry, nd);
if (unlikely(status <= 0)) {
if (status != -ECHILD)
need_reval = 0;
goto unlazy;
...
unlazy:
/* no assignments to dentry */
if (dentry && unlikely(d_need_lookup(dentry))) {
dput(dentry);
dentry = NULL;
}
and if d_need_lookup() had already been false the first time around, it
will remain false on the second call as well.
