After growing a filesystem, XFS can fail to allocate inodes even
though there is a large amount of space available in the filesystem
for inodes. The issue is caused by a nearly full allocation group
having enough free space in it to be considered for inode
allocation, but not enough contiguous free space to actually
allocation inodes. This situation results in successful selection
of the AG for allocation, then failure of the allocation resulting
in ENOSPC being reported to the caller.
It is caused by two possible issues. Firstly, we only consider the
lognest free extent and whether it would fit an inode chunk. If the
extent is not correctly aligned, then we can't allocate an inode
chunk in it regardless of the fact that it is large enough. This
tends to be a permanent error until space in the AG is freed.
The second issue is that we don't actually lock the AGI or AGF when
we are doing these checks, and so by the time we get to actually
allocating the inode chunk the space we thought we had in the AG may
have been allocated. This tends to be a spurious error as it
requires a race to trigger. Hence this case is ignored in this patch
as the reported problem is for permanent errors.
The first issue could be addressed by simply taking into account the
alignment when checking the longest extent. This, however, would
prevent allocation in AGs that have aligned, exact sized extents
free. However, this case should be fairly rare compared to the
number of allocations that occur near ENOSPC that would trigger this
condition.
Hence, when selecting the inode AG, take into account the inode
cluster alignment when checking the lognest free extent in the AG.
If we can't find any AGs with a contiguous free space large
enough to be aligned, drop the alignment addition and just try for
an AG that has enough contiguous free space available for an inode
chunk. This won't prevent issues from occurring, but should avoid
situations where other AGs have lots of free space but the selected
AG can't allocate due to alignment constraints.

More consolidatation for the on-disk format defintions. Note that the
XFS_IS_REALTIME_INODE moves to xfs_linux.h instead as it is not related
to the on disk format, but depends on a CONFIG_ option.

Sparse warns that we are passing the big-endian valueo f agi_newino
to the initial btree lookup function when trying to find a new
inode. This is wrong - we need to pass the host order value, not the
disk order value. This will adversely affect the next inode
allocated, but given that the free inode btree is usually much
smaller than the allocated inode btree it is much less likely to be
a performance issue if we start the search in the wrong place.

These were exposed by fsfuzzer runs; without them we fail
in various exciting and sometimes convoluted ways when we
encounter disk corruption.
Without the MAXLEVELS tests we tend to walk off the end of
an array in a loop like this:
for (i = 0; i < cur->bc_nlevels; i++) {
if (cur->bc_bufs[i])
Without the dirblklog test we try to allocate more memory
than we could possibly hope for and loop forever:
xfs_dabuf_map()
nfsb = mp->m_dir_geo->fsbcount;
irecs = kmem_zalloc(sizeof(irec) * nfsb, KM_SLEEP...
As for the logbsize check, that's the convoluted one.
If logbsize is specified at mount time, it's sanitized
in xfs_parseargs; in particular it makes sure that it's
not > XLOG_MAX_RECORD_BSIZE.
If not specified at mount time, it comes from the superblock
via sb_logsunit; this is limited to 256k at mkfs time as well;
it's copied into m_logbsize in xfs_finish_flags().
However, if for some reason the on-disk value is corrupt and
too large, nothing catches it. It's a circuitous path, but
that size eventually finds its way to places that make the kernel
very unhappy, leading to oopses in xlog_pack_data() because we
use the size as an index into iclog->ic_data, but the array
is not necessarily that big.
Anyway - bounds checking when we read from disk is a good thing!

Convert all the errors the core XFs code to negative error signs
like the rest of the kernel and remove all the sign conversion we
do in the interface layers.
Errors for conversion (and comparison) found via searches like:
$ git grep " E" fs/xfs
$ git grep "return E" fs/xfs
$ git grep " E[A-Z].*;$" fs/xfs
Negation points found via searches like:
$ git grep "= -[a-z,A-Z]" fs/xfs
$ git grep "return -[a-z,A-D,F-Z]" fs/xfs
$ git grep " -[a-z].*;" fs/xfs
