My previous patch: d3a304b6292168b83b45d624784f973fdc1ca674 check for
XFS_LI_FAILED flag xfs_iflush done, so the failed item can be properly
resubmitted.
In the loop scanning other inodes being completed, it should check the
current item for the XFS_LI_FAILED, and not the initial one.
The state of the initial inode is checked after the loop ends
Kudos to Eric for catching this.

When a buffer has been failed during writeback, the inode items into it
are kept flush locked, and are never resubmitted due the flush lock, so,
if any buffer fails to be written, the items in AIL are never written to
disk and never unlocked.
This causes unmount operation to hang due these items flush locked in AIL,
but this also causes the items in AIL to never be written back, even when
the IO device comes back to normal.
I've been testing this patch with a DM-thin device, creating a
filesystem larger than the real device.
When writing enough data to fill the DM-thin device, XFS receives ENOSPC
errors from the device, and keep spinning on xfsaild (when 'retry
forever' configuration is set).
At this point, the filesystem can not be unmounted because of the flush locked
items in AIL, but worse, the items in AIL are never retried at all
(once xfs_inode_item_push() will skip the items that are flush locked),
even if the underlying DM-thin device is expanded to the proper size.
This patch fixes both cases, retrying any item that has been failed
previously, using the infra-structure provided by the previous patch.

xfs_iflush_done uses an on-stack variable length array to pass the log
items to be deleted to xfs_trans_ail_delete_bulk. On-stack VLAs are a
nasty gcc extension that can lead to unbounded stack allocations, but
fortunately we can easily avoid them by simply open coding
xfs_trans_ail_delete_bulk in xfs_iflush_done, which is the only caller
of it except for the single-item xfs_trans_ail_delete.

Create a per-inode extent size allocator hint for copy-on-write. This
hint is separate from the existing extent size hint so that CoW can
take advantage of the fragmentation-reducing properties of extent size
hints without disabling delalloc for regular writes.
The extent size hint that's fed to the allocator during a copy on
write operation is the greater of the cowextsize and regular extsize
hint.
During reflink, if we're sharing the entire source file to the entire
destination file and the destination file doesn't already have a
cowextsize hint, propagate the source file's cowextsize hint to the
destination file.
Furthermore, zero the bulkstat buffer prior to setting the fields
so that we don't copy kernel memory contents into userspace.

One of the problems we currently have with delayed logging is that
under serious memory pressure we can deadlock memory reclaim. THis
occurs when memory reclaim (such as run by kswapd) is reclaiming XFS
inodes and issues a log force to unpin inodes that are dirty in the
CIL.
The CIL is pushed, but this will only occur once it gets the CIL
context lock to ensure that all committing transactions are complete
and no new transactions start being committed to the CIL while the
push switches to a new context.
The deadlock occurs when the CIL context lock is held by a
committing process that is doing memory allocation for log vector
buffers, and that allocation is then blocked on memory reclaim
making progress. Memory reclaim, however, is blocked waiting for
a log force to make progress, and so we effectively deadlock at this
point.
To solve this problem, we have to move the CIL log vector buffer
allocation outside of the context lock so that memory reclaim can
always make progress when it needs to force the log. The problem
with doing this is that a CIL push can take place while we are
determining if we need to allocate a new log vector buffer for
an item and hence the current log vector may go away without
warning. That means we canot rely on the existing log vector being
present when we finally grab the context lock and so we must have a
replacement buffer ready to go at all times.
To ensure this, introduce a "shadow log vector" buffer that is
always guaranteed to be present when we gain the CIL context lock
and format the item. This shadow buffer may or may not be used
during the formatting, but if the log item does not have an existing
log vector buffer or that buffer is too small for the new
modifications, we swap it for the new shadow buffer and format
the modifications into that new log vector buffer.
The result of this is that for any object we modify more than once
in a given CIL checkpoint, we double the memory required
to track dirty regions in the log. For single modifications then
we consume the shadow log vectorwe allocate on commit, and that gets
consumed by the checkpoint. However, if we make multiple
modifications, then the second transaction commit will allocate a
shadow log vector and hence we will end up with double the memory
usage as only one of the log vectors is consumed by the CIL
checkpoint. The remaining shadow vector will be freed when th elog
item is freed.
This can probably be optimised in future - access to the shadow log
vector is serialised by the object lock (as opposited to the active
log vector, which is controlled by the CIL context lock) and so we
can probably free shadow log vector from some objects when the log
item is marked clean on removal from the AIL.

Now that the struct xfs_icdinode is not directly related to the
on-disk format, we can cull things in it we really don't need to
store:
- magic number never changes
- padding is not necessary
- next_unlinked is never used
- inode number is redundant
- uuid is redundant
- lsn is accessed directly from dinode
- inode CRC is only accessed directly from dinode
Hence we can remove these from the struct xfs_icdinode and redirect
the code that uses them to the xfs_dinode appripriately. This
reduces the size of the struct icdinode from 152 bytes to 88 bytes,
and removes a fair chunk of unnecessary code, too.

We currently carry around and log an entire inode core in the
struct xfs_inode. A lot of the information in the inode core is
duplicated in the VFS inode, but we cannot remove this duplication
of infomration because the inode core is logged directly in
xfs_inode_item_format().
Add a new function xfs_inode_item_format_core() that copies the
inode core data into a struct xfs_icdinode that is pulled directly
from the log vector buffer. This means we no longer directly
copy the inode core, but copy the structures one member at a time.
This will be slightly less efficient than copying, but will allow us
to remove duplicate and unnecessary items from the struct xfs_inode.
To enable us to do this, call the new structure a xfs_log_dinode,
so that we know it's different to the physical xfs_dinode and the
in-core xfs_icdinode.

xfs: timestamp updates cause excessive fdatasync log traffic
Sage Weil reported that a ceph test workload was writing to the
log on every fdatasync during an overwrite workload. Event tracing
showed that the only metadata modification being made was the
timestamp updates during the write(2) syscall, but fdatasync(2)
is supposed to ignore them. The key observation was that the
transactions in the log all looked like this:
INODE: #regs: 4 ino: 0x8b flags: 0x45 dsize: 32
And contained a flags field of 0x45 or 0x85, and had data and
attribute forks following the inode core. This means that the
timestamp updates were triggering dirty relogging of previously
logged parts of the inode that hadn't yet been flushed back to
disk.
There are two parts to this problem. The first is that XFS relogs
dirty regions in subsequent transactions, so it carries around the
fields that have been dirtied since the last time the inode was
written back to disk, not since the last time the inode was forced
into the log.
The second part is that on v5 filesystems, the inode change count
update during inode dirtying also sets the XFS_ILOG_CORE flag, so
on v5 filesystems this makes a timestamp update dirty the entire
inode.
As a result when fdatasync is run, it looks at the dirty fields in
the inode, and sees more than just the timestamp flag, even though
the only metadata change since the last fdatasync was just the
timestamps. Hence we force the log on every subsequent fdatasync
even though it is not needed.
To fix this, add a new field to the inode log item that tracks
changes since the last time fsync/fdatasync forced the log to flush
the changes to the journal. This flag is updated when we dirty the
inode, but we do it before updating the change count so it does not
carry the "core dirty" flag from timestamp updates. The fields are
zeroed when the inode is marked clean (due to writeback/freeing) or
when an fsync/datasync forces the log. Hence if we only dirty the
timestamps on the inode between fsync/fdatasync calls, the fdatasync
will not trigger another log force.

Commit 3013683 ("xfs: remove all the inodes on a buffer from the AIL
in bulk") made the xfs inode flush callback more efficient by
combining all the inode writes on the buffer and the deletions of
the inode log item from AIL.
The initial loop in this patch should be looping through all
the log items on the buffer to see which items have
xfs_iflush_done as their callback function. But currently,
only the log item passed to the function has its callback
compared to xfs_iflush_done. If the log item pointer passed to
the function does have the xfs_iflush_done callback function,
then all the log items on the buffer are removed from the
li_bio_list on the buffer b_fspriv and could be removed from
the AIL even though they may have not been written yet.
This problem is masked by the fact that currently all inodes on a
buffer will have the same calback function - either xfs_iflush_done
or xfs_istale_done - and hence the bug cannot manifest in any way.
Still, we need to remove the landmine so that if we add new
callbacks in future this doesn't cause us problems.

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

An inode in the AIL can be flush locked and marked stale if
a cluster free transaction occurs at the right time. The
inode item is then marked as flushing, which causes xfsaild

reproduced by running xfstests 273 in a loop for an
extended period of time.
Check for stale inodes before the flush lock. This marks
the inode as pinned, leads to a log flush and allows the
filesystem to proceed.

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 ]

Instead of writing the buffer directly from inside xfs_iflush return it to
the caller and let the caller decide what to do with the buffer. Also
remove the pincount check in xfs_iflush that all non-blocking callers already
implement and the now unused flags parameter.

Add an in-memory only flag to say we logged timestamps only, and use it to
check if fdatasync can optimize away the log force.

Add a new ili_fields member to the inode log item to isolate the in-memory
flags from the ones that actually go to the log. This will allow tracking
timestamp-only updates for fdatasync and O_DSYNC in the next patch and
prepares for divorcing the on-disk log format from the in-memory log item
a little further down the road.

Move all code messing with the inode log item flags into xfs_inode_item_format
to make sure xfs_inode_item_size really only calculates the the number of
vectors, but doesn't modify any state of the inode item.

Timestamps on regular files are the last metadata that XFS does not update
transactionally. Now that we use the delaylog mode exclusively and made
the log scode scale extremly well there is no need to bypass that code for
timestamp updates. Logging all updates allows to drop a lot of code, and
will allow for further performance improvements later on.
Note that this patch drops optimized handling of fdatasync - it will be
added back in a separate commit.

There is no reason to wake up log space waiters when unlocking inodes or
dquots, and the commit log has no explanation for this function either.
Given that we now have exact log space wakeups everywhere we can assume
the reason for this function was to paper over log space races in earlier
XFS versions.

Replace i_pin_wait, which is only used during synchronous inode flushing
with a bit waitqueue. This trades off a much smaller inode against
slightly slower wakeup performance, and saves 12 (32-bit) or 20 (64-bit)
bytes in the XFS inode.

We almost never block on i_flock, the exception is synchronous inode
flushing. Instead of bloating the inode with a 16/24-byte completion
that we abuse as a semaphore just implement it as a bitlock that uses
a bit waitqueue for the rare sleeping path. This primarily is a
tradeoff between a much smaller inode and a faster non-blocking
path vs faster wakeups, and we are much better off with the former.
A small downside is that we will lose lockdep checking for i_flock, but
given that it's always taken inside the ilock that should be acceptable.
Note that for example the inode writeback locking is implemented in a
very similar way.
