percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

XFS's vmap batching simply defers a number (up to 64) of vunmaps,
and keeps track of them in a list. To purge the batch, it just goes
through the list and calls vunamp on each one. This is pretty poor:
a global TLB flush is generally still performed on each vunmap, with
the most expensive parts of the operation being the broadcast IPIs
and locking involved in the SMP callouts, and the locking involved
in the vmap management -- none of these are avoided by just batching
up the calls. I'm actually surprised it ever made much difference.
(Now that the lazy vmap allocator is upstream, this description is
not quite right, but the vunmap batching still doesn't seem to do
much).
Rip all this logic out of XFS completely. I will improve vmap
performance and scalability directly in subsequent patch.

Similar to the fsync issue fixed a while ago in commit
2daea67e96 we need to write for data to
actually hit the disk before writing out the metadata to guarantee
data integrity for filesystems that modify the inode in the data I/O
completion path. Currently XFS and NFS handle this manually, and AFS
has a write_inode method that does nothing but waiting for data, while
others are possibly missing out on this.
Fortunately this change has a lot less impact than the fsync change
as none of the write_inode methods starts data writeout of any form
by itself.

We currently use block_invalidatepage() to clean up pages where I/O
fails in ->writepage(). Unfortunately, if the page has delalloc
regions on it, we fail to remove the delalloc regions when we
invalidate the page. This can result in tripping a BUG() in
xfs_get_blocks() later on if a direct IO read is done on that same
region - the delalloc extent is returned when none is supposed to be
there.
Fix this by truncating away the delalloc regions on the page before
invalidating it. Because they are delalloc, we can do this without
needing a transaction. Indeed - if we get ENOSPC errors, we have to
be able to do this truncation without a transaction as there is
no space left for block reservation (typically why we see a ENOSPC
in writeback).

Currently Q_XQUOTASYNC calls into the quota_sync method, but XFS does something
entirely different in it than the rest of the filesystems. xfs_quota which
calls Q_XQUOTASYNC expects an asynchronous data writeout to flush delayed
allocations, while the "VFS" quota support wants to flush changes to the quota
file.
So make Q_XQUOTASYNC call into the writeback code directly and make the
quota_sync method optional as XFS doesn't need in the sense expected by the
rest of the quota code.
GFS2 was using limited XFS-style quota and has a quota_sync method fitting
neither the style used by vfs_quota_sync nor xfs_fs_quota_sync. I left it
in for now as per discussion with Steve it expects to be called from the

The introduction of barriers to loop devices has created a new IO
order completion dependency that XFS does not handle. The loop
device implements barriers using fsync and so turns a log IO in the
XFS filesystem on the loop device into a data IO in the backing
filesystem. That is, the completion of log IOs in the loop
filesystem are now dependent on completion of data IO in the backing
filesystem.
This can cause deadlocks when a flush daemon issues a log force with
an inode locked because the IO completion of IO on the inode is
blocked by the inode lock. This in turn prevents further data IO
completion from occuring on all XFS filesystems on that CPU (due to
the shared nature of the completion queues). This then prevents the
log IO from completing because the log is waiting for data IO
completion as well.
The fix for this new completion order dependency issue is to make
the IO completion inode locking non-blocking. If the inode lock
can't be grabbed, simply requeue the IO completion back to the work
queue so that it can be processed later. This prevents the
completion queue from being blocked and allows data IO completion on
other inodes to proceed, hence avoiding completion order dependent
deadlocks.

inode. Currently these sycnhronous writes only come sync(1),
unmount, a sycnhronous NFS export and cachefiles so should be
relatively rare and out of common performance paths.
Realistically, a synchronous inode write is not necessary here; we
can avoid writing the inode by logging any non-transactional changes
that are pending. This needs to be done with synchronous
transactions, but it avoids seeking between the log and inode
clusters as we do now. We don't force the log if the inode is
pinned, though, so this differs from the fsync case. For normal
sys_sync and unmount behaviour this is fine because we do a
synchronous log force in xfs_sync_data which is called from the
->sync_fs code.
It does however break the NFS synchronous export guarantees for now,
but work is under way to fix this at a higher level or for the
higher level to provide an additional flag in the writeback control
to tell us that a log force is needed.
Portions of this patch are based on work from Dave Chinner.

We always need to flush the disk write cache and can't skip it just because
the no inode attributes have changed.

dquots are never flushed asynchronously. Remove the flag and the
async write support from the flush function. Make the default flush
a delwri flush to make the inode flush code, which leaves the
XFS_QMOPT_SYNC the only flag remaining. Convert that to use
SYNC_WAIT instead, just like the inode flush code.
V2:
- just pass flush flags straight through

xfs_qm_dqflock_pushbuf_wait() does a very similar trick to item
pushing used to do to flush out delayed write dquot buffers. Change
it to use the new promotion method rather than an async flush.
Also, xfs_qm_dqflock_pushbuf_wait() can return without the flush lock
held, yet the callers make the assumption that after this call the
flush lock is held. Always return with the flush lock held.

Currently when the xfsbufd writes delayed write buffers, it pushes
them to disk in the order they come off the delayed write list. If
there are lots of buffers ѕpread widely over the disk, this results
in overwhelming the elevator sort queues in the block layer and we
end up losing the posibility of merging adjacent buffers to minimise
the number of IOs.
Use the new generic list_sort function to sort the delwri dispatch
queue before issue to ensure that the buffers are pushed in the most
friendly order possible to the lower layers.

All buffers logged into the AIL are marked as delayed write.
When the AIL needs to push the buffer out, it issues an async write of the
buffer. This means that IO patterns are dependent on the order of
buffers in the AIL.
Instead of flushing the buffer, promote the buffer in the delayed
write list so that the next time the xfsbufd is run the buffer will
be flushed by the xfsbufd. Return the state to the xfsaild that the
buffer was promoted so that the xfsaild knows that it needs to cause
the xfsbufd to run to flush the buffers that were promoted.
Using the xfsbufd for issuing the IO allows us to dispatch all
buffer IO from the one queue. This means that we can make much more
enlightened decisions on what order to flush buffers to disk as
we don't have multiple places issuing IO. Optimisations to xfsbufd
will be in a future patch.
Version 2
- kill XFS_ITEM_FLUSHING as it is now unused.
