Create a common function to calculate the maximum height of a per-AG
btree. This will eventually be used by the rmapbt and refcountbt
code to calculate appropriate maxlevels values for each. This is
important because the verifiers and the transaction block
reservations depend on accurate estimates of how many blocks are
needed to satisfy a btree split.
We were mistakenly using the max bnobt height for all the btrees,
which creates a dangerous situation since the larger records and
keys in an rmapbt make it very possible that the rmapbt will be
taller than the bnobt and so we can run out of transaction block
reservation.

xfs_reserve_blocks() is responsible to update the XFS reserved block
pool count at mount time or based on user request. When the caller
requests to increase the reserve pool, blocks must be allocated from
the global counters such that they are no longer available for
general purpose use. If the requested reserve pool size is too
large, XFS reserves what blocks are available. The implementation
requires looking at the percpu counters and making an educated guess
as to how many blocks to try and allocate from xfs_mod_fdblocks(),
which can return -ENOSPC if the guess was not accurate due to
counters being modified in parallel.
xfs_reserve_blocks() retries the guess in this scenario until the
allocation succeeds or it is determined that there is no space
available in the fs. While not easily reproducible in the current
form, the retry code doesn't actually work correctly if
xfs_mod_fdblocks() actually fails. The problem is that the percpu
calculations use the m_resblks counter to determine how many blocks
to allocate, but unconditionally update m_resblks before the block
allocation has actually succeeded. Therefore, if xfs_mod_fdblocks()
fails, the code jumps to the retry label and uses the already
updated m_resblks value to determine how many blocks to try and
allocate. If the percpu counters previously suggested that the
entire request was available, fdblocks_delta could end up set to 0.
In that case, m_resblks is updated to the requested value, yet no
blocks have been reserved at all.
Refactor xfs_reserve_blocks() to use an explicit loop and make the
code easier to follow. Since we have to drop the spinlock across the
xfs_mod_fdblocks() call, use a delta value for m_resblks as well and
only apply the delta once allocation succeeds.

The filesystem quiesce sequence performs the operations necessary to
drain all background work, push pending transactions through the log
infrastructure and wait on I/O resulting from the final AIL push. We
have had reports of remount,ro hangs in xfs_log_quiesce() ->
xfs_wait_buftarg(), however, and some instrumentation code to detect
transaction commits at this point in the quiesce sequence has inculpated
the eofblocks background scanner as a cause.
While higher level remount code generally prevents user modifications by
the time the filesystem has made it to xfs_log_quiesce(), the background
scanner may still be alive and can perform pending work at any time. If
this occurs between the xfs_log_force() and xfs_wait_buftarg() calls
within xfs_log_quiesce(), this can lead to an indefinite lockup in
xfs_wait_buftarg().
To prevent this problem, cancel the background eofblocks scan worker
during the remount read-only quiesce sequence. This suspends background
trimming when a filesystem is remounted read-only. This is only done in
the remount path because the freeze codepath has already locked out new
transactions by the time the filesystem attempts to quiesce (and thus
waiting on an active work item could deadlock). Kick the eofblocks
worker to pick up where it left off once an fs is remounted back to
read-write.

Currently zeroing out blocks and waiting for writeout is a bit of a mess in
truncate. This patch gives it a clear order in preparation for the iomap
path:
(1) we first wait for any direct I/O to complete to prevent any races
for it
(2) we then perform the actual zeroing, and only use the truncate_page
helpers for truncating down. The truncate up case already is
handled by the separate call to xfs_zero_eof.
(3) only then we write back dirty data, as zeroing block may cause
dirty pages when using either xfs_zero_eof or the new iomap
infrastructure.

Add infrastructure for multipage buffered writes. This is implemented
using an main iterator that applies an actor function to a range that
can be written.
This infrastucture is used to implement a buffered write helper, one
to zero file ranges and one to implement the ->page_mkwrite VM
operations. All of them borrow a fair amount of code from fs/buffers.
for now by using an internal version of __block_write_begin that
gets passed an iomap and builds the corresponding buffer head.
The file system is gets a set of paired ->iomap_begin and ->iomap_end
calls which allow it to map/reserve a range and get a notification
once the write code is finished with it.

When we have a lot of metadata to flush from the AIL, the buffer
list can get very long. The current submission code tries to batch
submission to optimise IO order of the metadata (i.e. ascending
block order) to maximise block layer merging or IO to adjacent
metadata blocks.
Unfortunately, the method used can result in long lock times
occurring as buffers locked early on in the buffer list might not be
dispatched until the end of the IO licst processing. This is because
sorting does not occur util after the buffer list has been processed
and the buffers that are going to be submitted are locked. Hence
when the buffer list is several thousand buffers long, the lock hold
times before IO dispatch can be significant.
To fix this, sort the buffer list before we start trying to lock and
submit buffers. This means we can now submit buffers immediately
after they are locked, allowing merging to occur immediately on the
plug and dispatch to occur as quickly as possible. This means there
is minimal delay between locking the buffer and IO submission
occuring, hence reducing the worst case lock hold times seen during
delayed write buffer IO submission signficantly.

Multi-block buffers are logged based on buffer offset in
xfs_trans_log_buf(). xfs_buf_item_log() ultimately walks each mapping in
the buffer and marks the associated range to be logged in the
xfs_buf_log_format bitmap for that mapping. This code is broken,
however, in that it marks the actual buffer offsets of the associated
range in each bitmap rather than shifting to the byte range for that
particular mapping.
For example, on a 4k fsb fs, buffer offset 4096 refers to the first byte
of the second mapping in the buffer. This means byte 0 of the second log
format bitmap should be tagged as dirty. Instead, the current code marks
byte offset 4096 of the second log format bitmap, which is invalid and
potentially out of range of the mapping.
As a result of this, the log item format code invoked at transaction
commit time is not be able to correctly identify what parts of the
buffer to copy into log vectors. This can lead to NULL log vector
pointer dereferences in CIL push context if the item format code was not
able to locate any dirty ranges at all. This crash has been reproduced
on a 4k FSB filesystem using 16k directory blocks where an unlink
operation happened not to log anything in the first block of the
mapping. The logged offsets were all over 4k, marked as such in the
subsequent log format mappings, and thus left the transaction with an
xfs_log_item that is marked DIRTY but without any logged regions.
Further, even when the logged regions are marked correctly in the buffer
log format bitmaps, the format code doesn't copy the correct ranges of
the buffer into the log. This means that any logged region beyond the
first block of a multi-block buffer is subject to corruption after a
crash and log recovery sequence. This is due to a failure to convert the
mapping bm_len field from basic blocks to bytes in the buffer offset
tracking code in xfs_buf_item_format().
Update xfs_buf_item_log() to convert buffer offsets to segment relative
offsets when logging multi-block buffers. This ensures that the modified
regions of a buffer are logged correctly and avoids the aforementioned
crash. Also update xfs_buf_item_format() to correctly track the source
offset into the buffer for the log vector formatting code. This ensures
that the correct data is copied into the log.

The HPFS filesystem used generic_show_options to produce string that is

and option2, however it only shows option2 because the whole option
string is replaced with replace_mount_options in hpfs_remount_fs.

Pull string hash improvements from George Spelvin:
"This series does several related things:
- Makes the dcache hash (fs/namei.c) useful for general kernel use.
(Thanks to Bruce for noticing the zero-length corner case)
- Converts the string hashes in <linux/sunrpc/svcauth.h> to use the
above.
- Avoids 64-bit multiplies in hash_64() on 32-bit platforms. Two
32-bit multiplies will do well enough.
- Rids the world of the bad hash multipliers in hash_32.
This finishes the job started in commit 689de1d6ca95 ("Minimal
fix-up of bad hashing behavior of hash_64()")
The vast majority of Linux architectures have hardware support for
32x32-bit multiply and so derive no benefit from "simplified"
multipliers.
The few processors that do not (68000, h8/300 and some models of
Microblaze) have arch-specific implementations added. Those
patches are last in the series.
- Overhauls the dcache hash mixing.
The patch in commit 0fed3ac866ea ("namei: Improve hash mixing if
CONFIG_DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS") was an off-the-cuff suggestion.
Replaced with a much more careful design that's simultaneously
faster and better. (My own invention, as there was noting suitable
in the literature I could find. Comments welcome!)
- Modify the hash_name() loop to skip the initial HASH_MIX(). This
would let us salt the hash if we ever wanted to.
- Sort out partial_name_hash().
The hash function is declared as using a long state, even though
it's truncated to 32 bits at the end and the extra internal state
contributes nothing to the result. And some callers do odd things:
- fs/hfs/string.c only allocates 32 bits of state
- fs/hfsplus/unicode.c uses it to hash 16-bit unicode symbols not bytes
- Modify bytemask_from_count to handle inputs of 1..sizeof(long)
rather than 0..sizeof(long)-1. This would simplify users other
than full_name_hash"
Special thanks to Bruce Fields for testing and finding bugs in v1. (I
learned some humbling lessons about "obviously correct" code.)
On the arch-specific front, the m68k assembly has been tested in a
standalone test harness, I've been in contact with the Microblaze
maintainers who mostly don't care, as the hardware multiplier is never
omitted in real-world applications, and I haven't heard anything from
the H8/300 world"

This will improve the performance of hash_32() and hash_64(), but due
to complete lack of multi-bit shift instructions on H8, performance will
still be bad in surrounding code.

project. (But if the maintainers would like to get in touch...)

If it is configured without a multiplier, the standard __hash_32()

This is just the infrastructure; there are no users yet.
This is modelled on CONFIG_ARCH_RANDOM; a CONFIG_ symbol declares
the existence of <asm/hash.h>.
That file may define its own versions of various functions, and define
HAVE_* symbols (no CONFIG_ prefix!) to suppress the generic ones.
Included is a self-test (in lib/test_hash.c) that verifies the basics.
It is NOT in general required that the arch-specific functions compute
the same thing as the generic, but if a HAVE_* symbol is defined with
the value 1, then equality is tested.

Patch 0fed3ac866 improved the hash mixing, but the function is slower
than necessary; there's a 7-instruction dependency chain (10 on x86)
each loop iteration.
Word-at-a-time access is a very tight loop (which is good, because
link_path_walk() is one of the hottest code paths in the entire kernel),
and the hash mixing function must not have a longer latency to avoid
slowing it down.
There do not appear to be any published fast hash functions that:
1) Operate on the input a word at a time, and
2) Don't need to know the length of the input beforehand, and
3) Have a single iterated mixing function, not needing conditional
branches or unrolling to distinguish different loop iterations.
One of the algorithms which comes closest is Yann Collet's xxHash, but
that's two dependent multiplies per word, which is too much.
The key insights in this design are:
1) Barring expensive ops like multiplies, to diffuse one input bit
across 64 bits of hash state takes at least log2(64) = 6 sequentially
dependent instructions. That is more cycles than we'd like.
2) An operation like "hash ^= hash << 13" requires a second temporary
register anyway, and on a 2-operand machine like x86, it's three
instructions.
3) A better use of a second register is to hold a two-word hash state.
With careful design, no temporaries are needed at all, so it doesn't
increase register pressure. And this gets rid of register copying
on 2-operand machines, so the code is smaller and faster.
4) Using two words of state weakens the requirement for one-round mixing;
we now have two rounds of mixing before cancellation is possible.
5) A two-word hash state also allows operations on both halves to be
done in parallel, so on a superscalar processor we get more mixing
in fewer cycles.
I ended up using a mixing function inspired by the ChaCha and Speck
round functions. It is 6 simple instructions and 3 cycles per iteration
(assuming multiply by 9 can be done by an "lea" instruction):
x ^= *input++;
y ^= x; x = ROL(x, K1);
x += y; y = ROL(y, K2);
y *= 9;
Not only is this reversible, two consecutive rounds are reversible:
if you are given the initial and final states, but not the intermediate
state, it is possible to compute both input words. This means that at
least 3 words of input are required to create a collision.
(It also has the property, used by hash_name() to avoid a branch, that
it hashes all-zero to all-zero.)
The rotate constants K1 and K2 were found by experiment. The search took
a sample of random initial states (I used 1023) and considered the effect
of flipping each of the 64 input bits on each of the 128 output bits two
rounds later. Each of the 8192 pairs can be considered a biased coin, and
adding up the Shannon entropy of all of them produces a score.
The best-scoring shifts also did well in other tests (flipping bits in y,
trying 3 or 4 rounds of mixing, flipping all 64*63/2 pairs of input bits),
so the choice was made with the additional constraint that the sum of the
shifts is odd and not too close to the word size.
The final state is then folded into a 32-bit hash value by a less carefully
optimized multiply-based scheme. This also has to be fast, as pathname
components tend to be short (the most common case is one iteration!), but
there's some room for latency, as there is a fair bit of intervening logic
before the hash value is used for anything.
(Performance verified with "bonnie++ -s 0 -n 1536:-2" on tmpfs. I need
a better benchmark; the numbers seem to show a slight dip in performance
between 4.6.0 and this patch, but they're too noisy to quote.)
Special thanks to Bruce fields for diligent testing which uncovered a
nasty fencepost error in an earlier version of this patch.

The "simplified" prime multipliers made very bad hash functions, so get rid
of them. This completes the work of 689de1d6ca.
To avoid the inefficiency which was the motivation for the "simplified"
multipliers, hash_64() on 32-bit systems is changed to use a different
algorithm. It makes two calls to hash_32() instead.
drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb-v2/af9015.c uses the old GOLDEN_RATIO_PRIME_32
for some horrible reason, so it inherits a copy of the old definition.

That's all that's ever asked for, and it makes the return
type of hash_long() consistent.
It also allows (upcoming patch) an optimized implementation
of hash_64 on 32-bit machines.
I tried adding a BUILD_BUG_ON to ensure the number of bits requested
was never more than 32 (most callers use a compile-time constant), but
adding <linux/bug.h> to <linux/hash.h> breaks the tools/perf compiler
unless tools/perf/MANIFEST is updated, and understanding that code base
well enough to update it is too much trouble. I did the rest of an
allyesconfig build with such a check, and nothing tripped.

Finally, the first use of previous two patches: eliminate the
separate ad-hoc string hash functions in the sunrpc code.
Now hash_str() is a wrapper around hash_string(), and hash_mem() is
likewise a wrapper around full_name_hash().
Note that sunrpc code *does* call hash_mem() with a zero length, which
is why the previous patch needed to handle that in full_name_hash().
(Thanks, Bruce, for finding that!)
This also eliminates the only caller of hash_long which asks for
more than 32 bits of output.
The comment about the quality of hashlen_string() and full_name_hash()
is jumping the gun by a few patches; they aren't very impressive now,
but will be improved greatly later in the series.

We'd like to make more use of the highly-optimized dcache hash functions
throughout the kernel, rather than have every subsystem create its own,
and a function that hashes basic null-terminated strings is required
for that.
(The name is to emphasize that it returns both hash and length.)
It's actually useful in the dcache itself, specifically d_alloc_name().
Other uses in the next patch.
full_name_hash() is also tweaked to make it more generally useful:
1) Take a "char *" rather than "unsigned char *" argument, to
be consistent with hash_name().
2) Handle zero-length inputs. If we want more callers, we don't want
to make them worry about corner cases.

... so they can be used without the rest of <linux/dcache.h>
The hashlen_* macros will make sense next patch.
