When we free a metadata extent, we record it in the per-AG busy
extent array so that it is not re-used before the freeing
transaction hits the disk. This array is fixed size, so when it
overflows we make further allocation transactions synchronous
because we cannot track more freed extents until those transactions
hit the disk and are completed. Under heavy mixed allocation and
freeing workloads with large log buffers, we can overflow this array
quite easily.
Further, the array is sparsely populated, which means that inserts
need to search for a free slot, and array searches often have to
search many more slots that are actually used to check all the
busy extents. Quite inefficient, really.
To enable this aspect of extent freeing to scale better, we need
a structure that can grow dynamically. While in other areas of
XFS we have used radix trees, the extents being freed are at random
locations on disk so are better suited to being indexed by an rbtree.
So, use a per-AG rbtree indexed by block number to track busy
extents. This incures a memory allocation when marking an extent
busy, but should not occur too often in low memory situations. This
should scale to an arbitrary number of extents so should not be a
limitation for features such as in-memory aggregation of
transactions.
However, there are still situations where we can't avoid allocating
busy extents (such as allocation from the AGFL). To minimise the
overhead of such occurences, we need to avoid doing a synchronous
log force while holding the AGF locked to ensure that the previous
transactions are safely on disk before we use the extent. We can do
this by marking the transaction doing the allocation as synchronous
rather issuing a log force.
Because of the locking involved and the ordering of transactions,
the synchronous transaction provides the same guarantees as a
synchronous log force because it ensures that all the prior
transactions are already on disk when the synchronous transaction
hits the disk. i.e. it preserves the free->allocate order of the
extent correctly in recovery.
By doing this, we avoid holding the AGF locked while log writes are
in progress, hence reducing the length of time the lock is held and
therefore we increase the rate at which we can allocate and free
from the allocation group, thereby increasing overall throughput.
The only problem with this approach is that when a metadata buffer is
marked stale (e.g. a directory block is removed), then buffer remains
pinned and locked until the log goes to disk. The issue here is that
if that stale buffer is reallocated in a subsequent transaction, the
attempt to lock that buffer in the transaction will hang waiting
the log to go to disk to unlock and unpin the buffer. Hence if
someone tries to lock a pinned, stale, locked buffer we need to
push on the log to get it unlocked ASAP. Effectively we are trading
off a guaranteed log force for a much less common trigger for log
force to occur.
Ideally we should not reallocate busy extents. That is a much more
complex fix to the problem as it involves direct intervention in the
allocation btree searches in many places. This is left to a future
set of modifications.
Finally, now that we track busy extents in allocated memory, we
don't need the descriptors in the transaction structure to point to
them. We can replace the complex busy chunk infrastructure with a
simple linked list of busy extents. This allows us to remove a large
chunk of code, making the overall change a net reduction in code
size.

The ticket ID is needed to uniquely identify transactions when doing busy
extent matching. Delayed logging changes the lifecycle of busy extents with
respect to the transaction structure lifecycle. Hence we can no longer use
the transaction structure as a means of determining the owner of the busy
extent as it may be freed and reused while the busy extent is still active.
This commit provides the infrastructure to access the xlog_tid_t held in the
ticket from a transaction handle. This avoids the need for callers to peek
into the transaction and log structures to find this out.

The buffer log item reference counts used to take referenceѕ for every
transaction, similar to the pin counting. This is symmetric (like the
pin/unpin) with respect to transaction completion, but with dleayed logging
becomes assymetric as the pinning becomes assymetric w.r.t. transaction
completion.
To make both cases the same, allow the buffer pinning to take a reference to
the buffer log item and always drop the reference the transaction has on it
when being unlocked. This is balanced correctly because the unpin operation
always drops a reference to the log item. Hence reference counting becomes
symmetric w.r.t. item pinning as well as w.r.t active transactions and as a
result the reference counting model remain consistent between normal and
delayed logging.

The transaction ID is written into the log as the unique identifier
for transactions during recover. When duplicating a transaction, we
reuse the log ticket, which means it has the same transaction ID as
the previous transaction.
Rather than regenerating a random transaction ID for the duplicated
transaction, just add one to the current ID so that duplicated
transaction can be easily spotted in the log and during recovery
during problem diagnosis.

According to Documentation/filesystems/fiemap.txt, If fm_extent_count
is zero, then the fm_extents[] array is ignored (no extents will be

But as the commit 97db39a1f6f69e906e98118392400de5217aa33a has changed
bmv_count to the caller's input buffer, this number query function can't

The transaction ID that is written to the log for a transaction is
currently set by taking the lower 32 bits of the memory address of
the ticket structure. This is not guaranteed to be unique as
tickets comes from a slab and slots can be reallocated immediately
after being freed. As a result, there is no guarantee of uniqueness
in the ticket ID value.
Fix this by assigning a random number to the ticket ID field so that
it is extremely unlikely that duplicates will occur and remove the
possibility of transactions being mixed up during recovery due to
duplicate IDs.

XLOG_SECTOR_ROUNDUP_BBCOUNT() is defined in "fs/xfs/xfs_log_recover.c"
in an overly-complicated way. It is basically roundup(), but that
is not at all clear from its definition. (Actually, there is
another macro round_up() that applies for power-of-two-based masks
which I'll be using here.)
The operands in XLOG_SECTOR_ROUNDUP_BBCOUNT() are basically the
block number (bbs) and the log sector basic block mask
(log->l_sectbb_mask). I'll call them B and M for this discussion.
The macro computes is value this way:
M && (B & M) ? (B + M + 1) & ~M : B
Put another way, we can break it into 3 cases:
1) ! M -> B # 0 mask, no effect
2) ! (B & M) -> B # sector aligned
3) M && (B & M) -> (B + M + 1) & ~M # round up otherwise
The round_up() macro is cleverly defined using a value, v, and a
power-of-2, p, and the result is the nearest multiple of p greater
than or equal to v. Its value is computed something like this:
((v - 1) | (p - 1)) + 1
Let's consider using this in the context of the 3 cases above.
When p = 2^0 = 1, the result boils down to ((v - 1) | 0) + 1, so it
just translates any value v to itself. That handles case (1) above.
When p = 2^n, n > 0, we know that (p - 1) will be a mask with all n
bits 0..n-1 set. The condition in this case occurs when none of
those mask bits is set in the value v provided. If that is the
case, subtracting 1 from v will have 1's in all those lower bits (at
least). Therefore, OR-ing the mask with that decremented value has
no effect, so adding the 1 back again will just translate the v to
itself. This handles case (2).
Otherwise, the value v is greater than some multiple of p, and
decrementing it will produce a result greater than or equal to that
multiple. OR-ing in the mask will produce a value 1 less than the
next multiple of p, so finally adding 1 back will result in the
desired rounded-up value. This handles case (3).
Hopefully this is convincing.
While I was at it, I converted XLOG_SECTOR_ROUNDDOWN_BLKNO() to use
the round_down() macro.

This fixes a bug in two places that I found by inspection. In
xlog_find_verify_cycle() and xlog_write_log_records(), the code
attempts to allocate a buffer to hold as many blocks as possible.
It gives up if the number of blocks to be allocated gets too small.
Right now it uses log->l_sectbb_log as that lower bound, but I'm
sure it's supposed to be the actual log sector size instead. That
is, the lower bound should be (1 << log->l_sectbb_log).
Also define a simple macro xlog_sectbb(log) to represent the number
of basic blocks in a sector for the given log.
(No change from original submission; I have implemented Christoph's
suggestion about storing l_sectsize rather than l_sectbb_log in
