a) instead of storing the symlink body (via nd_set_link()) and returning
an opaque pointer later passed to ->put_link(), ->follow_link() _stores_
that opaque pointer (into void * passed by address by caller) and returns
the symlink body. Returning ERR_PTR() on error, NULL on jump (procfs magic
symlinks) and pointer to symlink body for normal symlinks. Stored pointer
is ignored in all cases except the last one.
Storing NULL for opaque pointer (or not storing it at all) means no call

b) the body used to be passed to ->put_link() implicitly (via nameidata).

to returning it.

generic_file_direct_write() does all sorts of things to make DIO
work "sorta ok" with mixed buffered IO workloads. We already do
most of this work in xfs_file_aio_dio_write() because of the locking
requirements, so there's only a couple of things it does for us.
The first thing is that it does a page cache invalidation after the
->direct_IO callout. This can easily be added to the XFS code.
The second thing it does is that if data was written, it updates the
iov_iter structure to reflect the data written, and then does EOF
size updates if necessary. For XFS, these EOF size updates are now
not necessary, as we do them safely and race-free in IO completion
context. That leaves just the iov_iter update, and that's also moved
to the XFS code.
Therefore we don't need to call generic_file_direct_write() and in
doing so remove redundant buffered writeback and page cache
invalidation calls from the DIO submission path. We also remove a
racy EOF size update, and make the DIO submission code in XFS much
easier to follow. Wins all round, really.

When we are doing AIO DIO writes, the IOLOCK only provides an IO
submission barrier. When we need to do EOF zeroing, we need to ensure
that no other IO is in progress and all pending in-core EOF updates
have been completed. This requires us to wait for all outstanding
AIO DIO writes to the inode to complete and, if necessary, run their
EOF updates.
Once all the EOF updates are complete, we can then restart
xfs_file_aio_write_checks() while holding the IOLOCK_EXCL, knowing
that EOF is up to date and we have exclusive IO access to the file
so we can run EOF block zeroing if we need to without interference.
This gives EOF zeroing the same exclusivity against other IO as we
provide truncate operations.

xfs_end_io_direct_write() can race with other IO completions when
updating the in-core inode size. The IO completion processing is not
serialised for direct IO - they are done either under the
IOLOCK_SHARED for non-AIO DIO, and without any IOLOCK held at all
during AIO DIO completion. Hence the non-atomic test-and-set update
of the in-core inode size is racy and can result in the in-core
inode size going backwards if the race if hit just right.
If the inode size goes backwards, this can trigger the EOF zeroing
code to run incorrectly on the next IO, which then will zero data
that has successfully been written to disk by a previous DIO.
To fix this bug, we need to serialise the test/set updates of the
in-core inode size. This first patch introduces locking around the
relevant updates and checks in the DIO path. Because we now have an
ioend in xfs_end_io_direct_write(), we know exactly then we are
doing an IO that requires an in-core EOF update, and we know that
they are not running in interrupt context. As such, we do not need to
use irqsave() spinlock variants to protect against interrupts while
the lock is held.
Hence we can use an existing spinlock in the inode to do this
serialisation and so not need to grow the struct xfs_inode just to
work around this problem.
This patch does not address the test/set EOF update in
generic_file_write_direct() for various reasons - that will be done
as a followup with separate explanation.

can avoid allocating an ioend until we have a mapping that spans

to the dio workqueue that uses an ioend, and interrupt completion

Currently a DIO overwrite that extends the EOF (e.g sub-block IO or
write into allocated blocks beyond EOF) requires a transaction for
the EOF update. Thi is done in IO completion context, but we aren't
explicitly handling this situation properly and so it can run in
interrupt context. Ensure that we defer IO that spans EOF correctly
to the DIO completion workqueue, and now that we have an ioend in IO
completion we can use the common ioend completion path to do all the
work.
Note: we do not preallocate the append transaction as we can have
multiple mapping and allocation calls per direct IO. hence
preallocating can still leave us with nested transactions by
attempting to map and allocate more blocks after we've preallocated
an append transaction.

Currently we can only tell DIO completion that an IO requires
unwritten extent completion. This is done by a hacky non-null
private pointer passed to Io completion, but the private pointer
does not actually contain any information that is used.
We also need to pass to IO completion the fact that the IO may be
beyond EOF and so a size update transaction needs to be done. This
is currently determined by checks in the io completion, but we need
to determine if this is necessary at block mapping time as we need
to defer the size update transactions to a completion workqueue,
just like unwritten extent conversion.
To do this, first we need to allocate and pass an ioend to to IO
completion. Add this for unwritten extent conversion; we'll do the
EOF updates in the next commit.

xfs_attr3_leaf_remove() removes an attribute from an attr leaf block. If
the attribute nameval data happens to be at the start of the nameval
region, a new start offset (firstused) for the region is calculated
(since the region grows from the tail of the block to the start). Once
the new firstused is calculated, it is checked for zero in an apparent
overflow check.
Now that the in-core firstused is 32-bit, overflow is not possible and
this check can be removed. Since the purpose for this check is not
documented and appears to exist since the port to Linux, be conservative
and replace it with an assert.

The on-disk xfs_attr3_leaf_hdr structure firstused field is 16-bit and
subject to overflow when fs block size is 64k. The field is typically
initialized to block size when an attr leaf block is initialized. This
problem is demonstrated by assert failures when running xfstests
generic/117 on an fs with 64k blocks.
To support the existing attr leaf block algorithms for insertion,
rebalance and entry movement, increase the size of the in-core firstused
field to 32-bit and handle the potential overflow on conversion to/from
the on-disk structure. If the overflow condition occurs, set a special
value in the firstused field that is translated back on header read. The
special value is only required in the case of an empty 64k attr block. A
value of zero is used because firstused is initialized to the block size
and grows backwards from there. Furthermore, the attribute block header
occupies the first bytes of the block. Thus, a value of zero has no
other legitimate meaning for this structure. Two new conversion helpers
are created to manage the conversion of firstused to and from disk.

Whiteouts are used by overlayfs - it has a crazy convention that a
whiteout is a character device inode with a major:minor of 0:0.
Because it's not documented anywhere, here's an example of what
RENAME_WHITEOUT does on ext4:
# echo foo > /mnt/scratch/foo
# echo bar > /mnt/scratch/bar
# ls -l /mnt/scratch
total 24
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4 Feb 11 20:22 bar
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4 Feb 11 20:22 foo
drwx------ 2 root root 16384 Feb 11 20:18 lost+found
# src/renameat2 -w /mnt/scratch/foo /mnt/scratch/bar
# ls -l /mnt/scratch
total 20
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4 Feb 11 20:22 bar
c--------- 1 root root 0, 0 Feb 11 20:23 foo
drwx------ 2 root root 16384 Feb 11 20:18 lost+found
# cat /mnt/scratch/bar
foo
#
In XFS rename terms, the operation that has been done is that source
(foo) has been moved to the target (bar), which is like a nomal
rename operation, but rather than the source being removed, it have
been replaced with a whiteout.
We can't allocate whiteout inodes within the rename transaction due
to allocation being a multi-commit transaction: rename needs to
be a single, atomic commit. Hence we have several options here, form
most efficient to least efficient:
- use DT_WHT in the target dirent and do no whiteout inode
allocation. The main issue with this approach is that we need
hooks in lookup to create a virtual chardev inode to present
to userspace and in places where we might need to modify the
dirent e.g. unlink. Overlayfs also needs to be taught about
DT_WHT. Most invasive change, lowest overhead.
- create a special whiteout inode in the root directory (e.g. a
".wino" dirent) and then hardlink every new whiteout to it.
This means we only need to create a single whiteout inode, and
rename simply creates a hardlink to it. We can use DT_WHT for
these, though using DT_CHR means we won't have to modify
overlayfs, nor anything in userspace. Downside is we have to
look up the whiteout inode on every operation and create it if
it doesn't exist.
- copy ext4: create a special whiteout chardev inode for every
whiteout. This is more complex than the above options because
of the lack of atomicity between inode creation and the rename
operation, requiring us to create a tmpfile inode and then
linking it into the directory structure during the rename. At
least with a tmpfile inode crashes between the create and
rename doesn't leave unreferenced inodes or directory
pollution around.
By far the simplest thing to do in the short term is to copy ext4.
While it is the most inefficient way of supporting whiteouts, but as
an initial implementation we can simply reuse existing functions and
add a small amount of extra code the the rename operation.
When we get full whiteout support in the VFS (via the dentry cache)
we can then look to supporting DT_WHT method outlined as the first
method of supporting whiteouts. But until then, we'll stick with
what overlayfs expects us to be: dumb and stupid.

Now that xfs_finish_rename() exists, there is no reason for
xfs_cross_rename() to return to xfs_rename() to finish off the
rename transaction. Drive the completion code into
xfs_cross_rename() and handle all errors there so as to simplify
the xfs_rename() code.
Further, push the rename exchange target_ip check to early in the
rename code so as to make the error handling easy and obviously
correct.

Rather than use a jump label for the final transaction commit in
the rename, factor it into a simple helper function and call it
appropriately. This slightly reduces the spaghetti nature of
xfs_rename.

The jump labels are ambiguous and unclear and some of the error
paths are used inconsistently. Rules for error jumps are:
- use out_trans_cancel for unmodified transaction context
- use out_bmap_cancel on ENOSPC errors
- use out_trans_abort when transaction is likely to be dirty.

When doing RENAME_WHITEOUT, we now have to lock 5 inodes into the
rename transaction. This means we need to update
xfs_sort_for_rename() and xfs_lock_inodes() to handle up to 5
inodes. Because of the vagaries of rename, this means we could have
anywhere between 3 and 5 inodes locked into the transaction....
While xfs_lock_inodes() does not need anything other than an assert
telling us we are passing more inodes that we ever thought we should
see, it could do with a logic rework to remove all the indenting.
This is not a functional change - it just makes the code a lot
easier to read.
