caused a regression in xfs_inumbers, which in turn broke
xfsdump, causing incomplete dumps.

The loop in xfs_inumbers() needs to fill the user-supplied
buffers, and iterates via xfs_btree_increment, reading new
ags as needed.

But the first time through the loop, if xfs_btree_increment()
succeeds, we continue, which triggers the ++agno at the bottom
of the loop, and we skip to soon to the next ag - without
the proper setup under next_ag to read the next ag.

Fix this by removing the agno increment from the loop conditional,
and only increment agno if we have actually hit the code under
the next_ag: target.

Commit 30136832 ("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.

XFS currently discards delalloc blocks within the target range of a
zero range request. Unaligned start and end offsets are zeroed
through the page cache and the internal, aligned blocks are
converted to unwritten extents.

If EOF is page aligned and covered by a delayed allocation extent.
The inode size is not updated until I/O completion. If a zero range
request discards a delalloc range that covers page aligned EOF as
such, the inode size update never occurs. For example:

$ rm -f /mnt/file
$ xfs_io -fc "pwrite 0 64k" -c "zero 60k 4k" /mnt/file
$ stat -c "%s" /mnt/file
65536
$ umount /mnt
$ mount <dev> /mnt
$ stat -c "%s" /mnt/file
61440

Update xfs_zero_file_space() to flush the range rather than discard
delalloc blocks to ensure that inode size updates occur
appropriately.

[dchinner: Note that this is really a workaround to avoid the
underlying problems. More work is needed (and ongoing) to fix those
issues so this fix is being added as a temporary stop-gap measure. ]

xfs_vm_writepage() walks each buffer_head on the page, maps to the block
on disk and attaches to a running ioend structure that represents the
I/O submission. A new ioend is created when the type of I/O (unwritten,
delayed allocation or overwrite) required for a particular buffer_head
differs from the previous. If a buffer_head is a delalloc or unwritten
buffer, the associated bits are cleared by xfs_map_at_offset() once the
buffer_head is added to the ioend.

The process of mapping each buffer_head occurs in xfs_map_blocks() and
acquires the ilock in blocking or non-blocking mode, depending on the
type of writeback in progress. If the lock cannot be acquired for
non-blocking writeback, we cancel the ioend, redirty the page and
return. Writeback will revisit the page at some later point.

Note that we acquire the ilock for each buffer on the page. Therefore
during non-blocking writeback, it is possible to add an unwritten buffer
to the ioend, clear the unwritten state, fail to acquire the ilock when
mapping a subsequent buffer and cancel the ioend. If this occurs, the
unwritten status of the buffer sitting in the ioend has been lost. The
page will eventually hit writeback again, but xfs_vm_writepage() submits
overwrite I/O instead of unwritten I/O and does not perform unwritten
extent conversion at I/O completion. This leads to data corruption
because unwritten extents are treated as holes on reads and zeroes are
returned instead of reading from disk.

Modify xfs_cancel_ioend() to restore the buffer unwritten bit for ioends
of type XFS_IO_UNWRITTEN. This ensures that unwritten extent conversion
occurs once the page is eventually written back.

I discovered this in userspace, but the same change applies
to the kernel.

If we xfs_mdrestore an image from a non-crc filesystem, lo
and behold the restored image has gained a CRC:

# db/xfs_metadump.sh -o /dev/sdc1 - | xfs_mdrestore - test.img
# xfs_db -c "sb 0" -c "p crc" /dev/sdc1
crc = 0 (correct)
# xfs_db -c "sb 0" -c "p crc" test.img
crc = 0xb6f8d6a0 (correct)

This is because xfs_sb_from_disk doesn't fill in sb_crc,
but xfs_sb_to_disk(XFS_SB_ALL_BITS) does write the in-memory
CRC to disk - so we get uninitialized memory on disk.

Fix this by always initializing sb_crc to 0 when we read
the superblock, and masking out the CRC bit from ALL_BITS
when we write it.

If we write to the maximum file offset (2^63-2), XFS fails to log the
inode size update when the page is flushed. For example:

$ xfs_io -fc "pwrite `echo "2^63-1-1" | bc` 1" /mnt/file
wrote 1/1 bytes at offset 9223372036854775806
1.000000 bytes, 1 ops; 0.0000 sec (22.711 KiB/sec and 23255.8140 ops/sec)
$ stat -c %s /mnt/file
9223372036854775807
$ umount /mnt ; mount <dev> /mnt/
$ stat -c %s /mnt/file
0

This occurs because XFS calculates the new file size as io_offset +
io_size, I/O occurs in block sized requests, and the maximum supported
file size is not block aligned. Therefore, a write to the max allowable
offset on a 4k blocksize fs results in a write of size 4k to offset
2^63-4096 (e.g., equivalent to round_down(2^63-1, 4096), or IOW the
offset of the block that contains the max file size). The offset plus
size calculation (2^63 - 4096 + 4096 == 2^63) overflows the signed
64-bit variable which goes negative and causes the > comparison to the
on-disk inode size to fail. This returns 0 from xfs_new_eof() and
results in no change to the inode on-disk.

Update xfs_new_eof() to explicitly detect overflow of the local
calculation and use the VFS inode size in this scenario. The VFS inode
size is capped to the maximum and thus XFS writes the correct inode size
to disk.

In doing this, also rename xfs_buf_iorequest to xfs_buf_submit and

Add an internal b_io_error field protected by the b_lock to catch IO

When synchronous IO runs IO completion work, it does so without an
IO reference or a hold reference on the buffer. The IO "hold
reference" is owned by the submitter, and released when the
submission is complete. The IO reference is released when both the
submitter and the bio end_io processing is run, and so if the io
completion work is run from IO completion context, it is run without
an IO reference.

Hence we can get the situation where the submitter can submit the
IO, see an error on the buffer and unlock and free the buffer while
there is still IO in progress. This leads to use-after-free and
memory corruption.

Fix this by taking a "sync IO hold" reference that is owned by the
IO and not released until after the buffer completion calls are run
to wake up synchronous waiters. This means that the buffer will not
be freed in any circumstance until all IO processing is completed.

xfs_buf_iowait() can be replaced with  blocking on xfs_buf_lock() -
the buffer will be unlocked when the async IO is complete.

This formalises a sane the method of waiting for async IO - take an
extra reference, submit the IO, call xfs_buf_lock() when you want to
wait for IO completion. i.e.:

	bp = xfs_buf_find();
	xfs_buf_hold(bp);
	bp->b_flags |= XBF_ASYNC;
	xfs_buf_iosubmit(bp);
	xfs_buf_lock(bp)
	error = bp->b_error;
	....
	xfs_buf_relse(bp);

While this is somewhat racy for gathering IO errors, none of the
code that calls xfs_buf_delwri_submit() will race against other
users of the buffers being submitted. Even if they do, we don't
really care if the error is detected by the delwri code or the user
we raced against. Either way, the error will be detected and

On a sub-page sized filesystem, truncating a mapped region down
leaves us in a world of hurt. We truncate the pagecache, zeroing the
newly unused tail, then punch blocks out from under the page. If we
then truncate the file back up immediately, we expose that unmapped
hole to a dirty page mapped into the user application, and that's
where it all goes wrong.

In truncating the page cache, we avoid unmapping the tail page of
the cache because it still contains valid data. The problem is that
it also contains a hole after the truncate, but nobody told the mm
subsystem that. Therefore, if the page is dirty before the truncate,
we'll never get a .page_mkwrite callout after we extend the file and
the application writes data into the hole on the page.  Hence when
we come to writing that region of the page, it has no blocks and no
delayed allocation reservation and hence we toss the data away.

This patch adds code to the truncate up case to solve it, by
ensuring the partial page at the old EOF is always cleaned after we
do any zeroing and move the EOF upwards. We can't actually serialise
the page writeback and truncate against page faults (yes, that
problem AGAIN) so this is really just a best effort and assumes it
is extremely unlikely that someone is concurrently writing to the
page at the EOF while extending the file.

When running a tight mount/unmount loop on an older kernel, RedHat
QE found that unmount would occasionally hang in
xfs_buf_unpin_wait() on the superblock buffer. Tracing and other
debug work by Eric Sandeen indicated that it was hanging on the
writing of the superblock during unmount immediately after logging
the superblock counters in a synchronous transaction. Further debug
indicated that the synchronous transaction was not waiting for
completion correctly, and we narrowed it down to
xlog_cil_force_lsn() returning NULLCOMMITLSN and hence not pushing
the transaction in the iclog buffer to disk correctly.

While this unmount superblock write code is now very different in
mainline kernels, the xlog_cil_force_lsn() code is identical, and it
was bisected to the backport of commit f876e446 ("xfs: always do log
forces via the workqueue"). This commit made the CIL push
asynchronous for log forces and hence exposed a race condition that
couldn't occur on a synchronous push.

Essentially, the xlog_cil_force_lsn() relied implicitly on the fact
that the sequence push would be complete by the time
xlog_cil_push_now() returned, resulting in the context being pushed
being in the committing list. When it was made asynchronous, it was
recognised that there was a race condition in detecting whether an
asynchronous push has started or not and code was added to handle
it.

Unfortunately, the fix was not quite right and left a race condition
where it it would detect an empty CIL while a push was in progress
before the context had been added to the committing list. This was
incorrectly seen as a "nothing to do" condition and so would tell
xfs_log_force_lsn() that there is nothing to wait for, and hence it
would push the iclogbufs in memory.

The fix is simple, but explaining the logic and the race condition
is a lot more complex. The fix is to add the context to the
committing list before we start emptying the CIL. This allows us to
detect the difference between an empty "do nothing" push and a push
that has not started by adding a discrete "emptying the CIL" state
to avoid the transient, incorrect "empty" condition that the
(unchanged) waiting code was seeing.
