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
0 here, and all callers for a transaction with a permanent log reservation
except for xfs_trans_roll must pass XFS_TRANS_RELEASE_LOG_RES. So remove
the flags argument from the public xfs_trans_commit interfaces, and
introduce low-level __xfs_trans_commit variant just for xfs_trans_roll
that regrants a log reservation instead of releasing it.

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.

We have three remaining callers of xfs_trans_dup:
- xfs_itruncate_extents which open codes xfs_trans_roll
- xfs_bmap_finish doesn't have an xfs_inode argument and thus leaves
attaching them to it's callers, but otherwise is identical to
xfs_trans_roll
- xfs_dir_ialloc looks at the log reservations in the old xfs_trans
structure instead of the log reservation parameters, but otherwise
is identical to xfs_trans_roll.
By allowing a NULL xfs_inode argument to xfs_trans_roll we can switch
these three remaining users over to xfs_trans_roll and mark xfs_trans_dup
static.

Instead of setting up pointers to memory locations in iop_format which then
get copied into the CIL linear buffer after return move the copy into
the individual inode items. This avoids the need to always have a memory
block in the exact same layout that gets written into the log around, and
allow the log items to be much more flexible in their in-memory layouts.
The only caveat is that we need to properly align the data for each
iovec so that don't have structures misaligned in subsequent iovecs.
Note that all log item format routines now need to be careful to modify
the copy of the item that was placed into the CIL after calls to
xlog_copy_iovec instead of the in-memory copy.

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

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.

Now that we have the size of the log vector that has been allocated,
we can determine if we need to allocate a new log vector for
formatting and insertion. We only need to allocate a new vector if
it won't fit into the existing buffer.
However, we need to hold the CIL context lock while we do this so
that we can't race with a push draining the currently queued log
vectors. It is safe to do this as long as we do GFP_NOFS allocation
to avoid avoid memory allocation recursing into the filesystem.
Hence we can safely overwrite the existing log vector on the CIL if
it is large enough to hold all the dirty regions of the current
item.

Introduce the inode create log item type for logical inode create logging.
Instead of logging the changes in buffers, pass the range to be
initialised through the log by a new transaction type. This reduces
the amount of log space required to record initialisation during
allocation from about 128 bytes per inode to a small fixed amount
per inode extent to be initialised.
This requires a new log item type to track it through the log
and the AIL. This is a relatively simple item - most callbacks are
noops as this item has the same life cycle as the transaction.

If we have a buffer that we have modified but we do not wish to
physically log in a transaction (e.g. we've logged a logical
change), we still need to ensure that transactional integrity is
maintained. Hence we must not move the tail of the log past the
transaction that the buffer is associated with before the buffer is
written to disk.
This means these special buffers still need to be included in the
transaction and added to the AIL just like a normal buffer, but we
do not want the modifications to the buffer written into the
transaction. IOWs, what we want is an "ordered buffer" that
maintains the same transactional life cycle as a physically logged
buffer, just without the transcribing of the modifications to the
log.
Hence we need to flag the buffer as an "ordered buffer" to avoid
including it in vector size calculations or formatting during the
transaction. Once the transaction is committed, the buffer appears
for all intents to be the same as a physically logged buffer as it
transitions through the log and AIL.
Relogging will also work just fine for such an ordered buffer - the
logical transaction will be replayed before the subsequent
modifications that relog the buffer, so everything will be
reconstructed correctly by recovery.

Running a CONFIG_XFS_DEBUG kernel in production environments is not
the best idea as it introduces significant overhead, can change
the behaviour of algorithms (such as allocation) to improve test
coverage, and (most importantly) panic the machine on non-fatal
errors.
There are many cases where all we want to do is run a
kernel with more bounds checking enabled, such as is provided by the
ASSERT() statements throughout the code, but without all the
potential overhead and drawbacks.
This patch converts all the ASSERT statements to evaluate as
WARN_ON(1) statements and hence if they fail dump a warning and a
stack trace to the log. This has minimal overhead and does not
change any algorithms, and will allow us to find strange "out of
bounds" problems more easily on production machines.
There are a few places where assert statements contain debug only
code. These are converted to be debug-or-warn only code so that we
still get all the assert checks in the code.

Currently, we calculate the attribute set transaction

2) ((ext * (mp)->m_sb.sb_sectsize) + \

This patch renamed XFS_ATTRSET_LOG_RES(mp) to XFS_ATTRSETM_LOG_RES(mp) to indicate
that it is figured out at mount time. Introduce XFS_ATTRSETRT_LOG_RES(mp) which would

In this way, the total runtime space for the given extent length can be figured out by:

To separate the verifiers from iodone functions and associate read
and write verifiers at the same time, introduce a buffer verifier
operations structure to the xfs_buf.
This avoids the need for assigning the write verifier, clearing the
iodone function and re-running ioend processing in the read
verifier, and gets rid of the nasty "b_pre_io" name for the write
verifier function pointer. If we ever need to, it will also be
easier to add further content specific callbacks to a buffer with an
ops structure in place.
We also avoid needing to export verifier functions, instead we
can simply export the ops structures for those that are needed
outside the function they are defined in.
This patch also fixes a directory block readahead verifier issue
it exposed.

Add a verifier function callback capability to the buffer read
interfaces. This will be used by the callers to supply a function
that verifies the contents of the buffer when it is read from disk.
This patch does not provide callback functions, but simply modifies
the interfaces to allow them to be called.
The reason for adding this to the read interfaces is that it is very
difficult to tell fom the outside is a buffer was just read from
disk or whether we just pulled it out of cache. Supplying a callbck
allows the buffer cache to use it's internal knowledge of the buffer
to execute it only when the buffer is read from disk.
It is intended that the verifier functions will mark the buffer with
an EFSCORRUPTED error when verification fails. This allows the
reading context to distinguish a verification error from an IO
error, and potentially take further actions on the buffer (e.g.
attempt repair) based on the error reported.

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)
- rename delwri submit function buffer list parameters for clarity
- xfs_efd_item_push() should return XFS_ITEM_PINNED ]

There is no reason to keep a reference to the inode even if we unlock
it during transaction commit because we never drop a reference between
the ijoin and commit. Also use this fact to merge xfs_trans_ijoin_ref
back into xfs_trans_ijoin - the third argument decides if an unlock
is needed now.
I'm actually starting to wonder if allowing inodes to be unlocked
at transaction commit really is worth the effort. The only real
benefit is that they can be unlocked earlier when commiting a
synchronous transactions, but that could be solved by doing the
log force manually after the unlock, too.

We need to check for pinned buffers even in .iop_pushbuf given that inode
items flush into the same buffers that may be pinned directly due operations
on the unlinked inode list operating directly on buffers. To do this add a
return value to .iop_pushbuf that tells the AIL push about this and use
the existing log force mechanisms to unpin it.

Currently we return iodes from xfs_ialloc with just a single reference held.
But we need two references, as one is dropped during transaction commit and
the second needs to be transfered to the VFS. Change xfs_ialloc to use
xfs_iget plus xfs_trans_ijoin_ref to grab two references to the inode,
and remove the now superflous IHOLD calls from all callers. This also
greatly simplifies the error handling in xfs_create and also allow to remove
xfs_trans_iget as no other callers are left.

Now that the buffer reclaim infrastructure can handle different reclaim
priorities for different types of buffers, reconnect the hooks in the
XFS code that has been sitting dormant since it was ported to Linux. This
should finally give use reclaim prioritisation that is on a par with the
functionality that Irix provided XFS 15 years ago.

Under heavy multi-way parallel create workloads, the VFS struggles
to write back all the inodes that have been changed in age order.
The bdi flusher thread becomes CPU bound, spending 85% of it's time
in the VFS code, mostly traversing the superblock dirty inode list
to separate dirty inodes old enough to flush.
We already keep an index of all metadata changes in age order - in
the AIL - and continued log pressure will do age ordered writeback
without any extra overhead at all. If there is no pressure on the
log, the xfssyncd will periodically write back metadata in ascending
disk address offset order so will be very efficient.
Hence we can stop marking VFS inodes dirty during transaction commit
or when changing timestamps during transactions. This will keep the
inodes in the superblock dirty list to those containing data or
unlogged metadata changes.
However, the timstamp changes are slightly more complex than this -
there are a couple of places that do unlogged updates of the
timestamps, and the VFS need to be informed of these. Hence add a
new function xfs_trans_ichgtime() for transactional changes,
and leave xfs_ichgtime() for the non-transactional changes.

Currently we need to either call IHOLD or xfs_trans_ihold on an inode when
joining it to a transaction via xfs_trans_ijoin.
This patches instead makes xfs_trans_ijoin usable on it's own by doing
an implicity xfs_trans_ihold, which also allows us to drop the third
argument. For the case where we want to hold a reference on the inode
a xfs_trans_ijoin_ref wrapper is added which does the IHOLD and marks
the inode for needing an xfs_iput. In addition to the cleaner interface
to the caller this also simplifies the implementation.

The unpin_remove item operation instances always share most of the
implementation with the respective unpin implementation. So instead
of keeping two different entry points add a remove flag to the unpin
operation and share the code more easily.

Currently we track log item descriptor belonging to a transaction using a
complex opencoded chunk allocator. This code has been there since day one
and seems to work around the lack of an efficient slab allocator.
This patch replaces it with dynamically allocated log item descriptors
from a dedicated slab pool, linked to the transaction by a linked list.
This allows to greatly simplify the log item descriptor tracking to the
point where it's just a couple hundred lines in xfs_trans.c instead of
a separate file. The external API has also been simplified while we're
at it - the xfs_trans_add_item and xfs_trans_del_item functions to add/
delete items from a transaction have been simplified to the bare minium,
and the xfs_trans_find_item function is replaced with a direct dereference
of the li_desc field. All debug code walking the list of log items in
a transaction is down to a simple list_for_each_entry.
Note that we could easily use a singly linked list here instead of the
double linked list from list.h as the fastpath only does deletion from
sequential traversal. But given that we don't have one available as
a library function yet I use the list.h functions for simplicity.
