We currently do background inode flush asynchronously, resulting in
inodes being written in whatever order the background writeback
issues them. Not only that, there are also blocking and non-blocking
asynchronous inode flushes, depending on where the flush comes from.
This patch completely removes asynchronous inode writeback. It
removes all the strange writeback modes and replaces them with
either a synchronous flush or a non-blocking delayed write flush.
That is, inode flushes will only issue IO directly if they are
synchronous, and background flushing may do nothing if the operation
would block (e.g. on a pinned inode or buffer lock).
Delayed write flushes will now result in the inode buffer sitting in
the delwri queue of the buffer cache to be flushed by either an AIL
push or by the xfsbufd timing out the buffer. This will allow
accumulation of dirty inode buffers in memory and allow optimisation
of inode cluster writeback at the xfsbufd level where we have much
greater queue depths than the block layer elevators. We will also
get adjacent inode cluster buffer IO merging for free when a later
patch in the series allows sorting of the delayed write buffers
before dispatch.
This effectively means that any inode that is written back by
background writeback will be seen as flush locked during AIL
pushing, and will result in the buffers being pushed from there.
This writeback path is currently non-optimal, but the next patch
in the series will fix that problem.
A side effect of this delayed write mechanism is that background
inode reclaim will no longer directly flush inodes, nor can it wait
on the flush lock. The result is that inode reclaim must leave the
inode in the reclaimable state until it is clean. Hence attempts to
reclaim a dirty inode in the background will simply skip the inode
until it is clean and this allows other mechanisms (i.e. xfsbufd) to
do more optimal writeback of the dirty buffers. As a result, the
inode reclaim code has been rewritten so that it no longer relies on
the ambiguous return values of xfs_iflush() to determine whether it
is safe to reclaim an inode.
Portions of this patch are derived from patches by Christoph
Hellwig.
Version 2:
- cleanup reclaim code as suggested by Christoph
- log background reclaim inode flush errors
- just pass sync flags to xfs_iflush

A.K.A.: don't rely on xfs_iflush() return value in reclaim
We have gradually been moving checks out of the reclaim code because
they are duplicated in xfs_iflush(). We've had a history of problems
in this area, and many of them stem from the overloading of the
return values from xfs_iflush() and interaction with inode flush
locking to determine if the inode is safe to reclaim.
With the desire to move to delayed write flushing of inodes and
non-blocking inode tree reclaim walks, the overloading of the
return value of xfs_iflush makes it very difficult to determine
the correct thing to do next.
This patch explicitly re-adds the checks to the inode reclaim code,
removing the reliance on the return value of xfs_iflush() to
determine what to do next. It also means that we can clearly
document all the inode states that reclaim must handle and hence
we can easily see that we handled all the necessary cases.
This also removes the need for the xfs_inode_clean() check in
xfs_iflush() as all callers now check this first (safely).

If we hold onto reserved blocks when doing a remount,ro we end
up writing the blocks used count to disk that includes the reserved
blocks. Reserved blocks are not actually used, so this results in
the values in the superblock being incorrect.
Hence if we run xfs_check or xfs_repair -n while the filesystem is
mounted remount,ro we end up with an inconsistent filesystem being
reported. Also, running xfs_copy on the remount,ro filesystem will
result in an inconsistent image being generated.
To fix this, unreserve the blocks when doing the remount,ro, and
reserved them again on remount,rw. This way a remount,ro filesystem
will appear consistent on disk to all utilities.

The use of an array for the per-ag structures requires reallocation
of the array when growing the filesystem. This requires locking
access to the array to avoid use after free situations, and the
locking is difficult to get right. To avoid needing to reallocate an
array, change the per-ag structures to an allocated object per ag
and index them using a tree structure.
The AGs are always densely indexed (hence the use of an array), but
the number supported is 2^32 and lookups tend to be random and hence
indexing needs to scale. A simple choice is a radix tree - it works
well with this sort of index. This change also removes another
large contiguous allocation from the mount/growfs path in XFS.
The growing process now needs to change to only initialise the new
AGs required for the extra space, and as such only needs to
exclusively lock the tree for inserts. The rest of the code only
needs to lock the tree while doing lookups, and hence this will
remove all the deadlocks that currently occur on the m_perag_lock as
it is now an innermost lock. The lock is also changed to a spinlock
from a read/write lock as the hold time is now extremely short.
To complete the picture, the per-ag structures will need to be
reference counted to ensure that we don't free/modify them while
they are still in use. This will be done in subsequent patch.

When swapping extents, we can corrupt inodes by swapping data forks
that are in incompatible formats. This is caused by the two indoes
having different fork offsets due to the presence of an attribute
fork on an attr2 filesystem. xfs_fsr tries to be smart about
setting the fork offset, but the trick it plays only works on attr1
(old fixed format attribute fork) filesystems.
Changing the way xfs_fsr sets up the attribute fork will prevent
this situation from ever occurring, so in the kernel code we can get
by with a preventative fix - check that the data fork in the
defragmented inode is in a format valid for the inode it is being
swapped into. This will lead to files that will silently and
potentially repeatedly fail defragmentation, so issue a warning to
the log when this particular failure occurs to let us know that
xfs_fsr needs updating/fixing.
To help identify how to improve xfs_fsr to avoid this issue, add
trace points for the inodes being swapped so that we can determine
why the swap was rejected and to confirm that the code is making the
right decisions and modifications when swapping forks.
A further complication is even when the swap is allowed to proceed
when the fork offset is different between the two inodes then value
for the maximum number of extents the data fork can hold can be
wrong. Make sure these are also set correctly after the swap occurs.

We cannot do direct inode reclaim without taking the flush lock to
ensure that we do not reclaim an inode under IO. We check the inode
is clean before doing direct reclaim, but this is not good enough
because the inode flush code marks the inode clean once it has
copied the in-core dirty state to the backing buffer.
It is the flush lock that determines whether the inode is still
under IO, even though it is marked clean, and the inode is still
required at IO completion so we can't reclaim it even though it is
clean in core. Hence the requirement that we need to take the flush
lock even on clean inodes because this guarantees that the inode
writeback IO has completed and it is safe to reclaim the inode.
With delayed write inode flushing, we coul dend up waiting a long
time on the flush lock even for a clean inode. The background
reclaim already handles this efficiently, so avoid all the problems
by killing the direct reclaim path altogether.
