xfs_inodes_free_eofblocks() implements scanning functionality for EOFBLOCKS inodes. It uses the AG iterator to walk the tagged inodes and free post-EOF blocks via the xfs_inode_free_eofblocks() execute function. The scan can be invoked in best-effort mode or wait (force) mode. A best-effort scan (default) handles all inodes that do not have a dirty cache and we successfully acquire the io lock via trylock. In wait mode, we continue to cycle through an AG until all inodes are handled.

Add the XFS_ICI_EOFBLOCKS_TAG inode tag to identify inodes with speculatively preallocated blocks beyond EOF. An inode is tagged when speculative preallocation occurs and untagged either via truncate down or when post-EOF blocks are freed via release or reclaim. The tag management is intentionally not aggressive to prefer simplicity over the complexity of handling all the corner cases under which post-EOF blocks could be freed (i.e., forward truncation, fallocate, write error conditions, etc.). This means that a tagged inode may or may not have post-EOF blocks after a period of time. The tag is eventually cleared when the inode is released or reclaimed.

The inode cache functions remaining in xfs_iget.c can be moved to xfs_icache.c along with the other inode cache functions. This removes all functionality from xfs_iget.c, so the file can simply be removed.

Why do we need to write the superblock to disk once we've written all the data? We don't actually - the reasons for doing this are lost in the mists of time, and go back to the way Irix used to drive VFS flushing. On linux, this code is only called from two contexts: remount and .sync_fs. In the remount case, the call is followed by a metadata sync, which unpins and writes the superblock. In the sync_fs case, we only need to force the log to disk to ensure that the superblock is correctly on disk, so we don't actually need to write it. Hence the functionality is either redundant or superfluous and thus can be removed. Seeing as xfs_quiesce_data is essentially now just a log force, remove it as well and fold the code back into the two callers. Neither of them need the log covering check, either, as that is redundant for the remount case, and unnecessary for the .sync_fs case.

We don't do any data writeback from XFS any more - the VFS is completely responsible for that, including for freeze. We can replace the remaining caller with a VFS level function that achieves the same thing, but without conflicting with current writeback work. This means we can remove the flush_work and xfs_flush_inodes() - the VFS functionality completely replaces the internal flush queue for doing this writeback work in a separate context to avoid stack overruns. This does have one complication - it cannot be called with page locks held. Hence move the flushing of delalloc space when ENOSPC occurs back up into xfs_file_aio_buffered_write when we don't hold any locks that will stall writeback. Unfortunately, writeback_inodes_sb_if_idle() is not sufficient to trigger delalloc conversion fast enough to prevent spurious ENOSPC whent here are hundreds of writers, thousands of small files and GBs of free RAM. Hence we need to use sync_sb_inodes() to block callers while we wait for writeback like the previous xfs_flush_inodes implementation did. That means we have to hold the s_umount lock here, but because this call can nest inside i_mutex (the parent directory in the create case, held by the VFS), we have to use down_read_trylock() to avoid potential deadlocks. In practice, this trylock will succeed on almost every attempt as unmount/remount type operations are exceedingly rare. Note: we always need to pass a count of zero to generic_file_buffered_write() as the previously written byte count. We only do this by accident before this patch by the virtue of ret always being zero when there are no errors. Make this explicit rather than needing to specifically zero ret in the ENOSPC retry case.

v2: Add the xfs_buf_lock to xfs_quiesce_attr(). Add explaination why xfs_buf_lock() is used to wait for write. xfs_wait_buftarg() does not wait for the completion of the write of the uncached superblock. This write can race with the shutdown of the log and causes a panic if the write does not win the race. During the log write, xfsaild_push() will lock the buffer and set the XBF_ASYNC flag. Because the XBF_FLAG is set, complete() is not performed on the buffer's iowait entry, we cannot call xfs_buf_iowait() to wait for the write to complete. The buffer's lock is held until the write is complete, so we can block on a xfs_buf_lock() request to be notified that the write is complete.

Queue delwri buffers on a local on-stack list instead of a per-buftarg one, and write back the buffers per-process instead of by waking up xfsbufd. This is now easily doable given that we have very few places left that write delwri buffers: - log recovery: 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.

Now that we write back all metadata either synchronously or through the AIL we can simply implement metadata freezing in terms of emptying the AIL. The implementation for this is fairly simply and straight-forward: A new routine is added that asks the xfsaild to push the AIL to the end and waits for it to complete and send a wakeup. The routine will then loop if the AIL is not actually empty, and continue to do so until the AIL is compeltely empty. We keep an inode reclaim pass in the freeze process to avoid having memory pressure have to reclaim inodes that require dirtying the filesystem to be reclaimed after the freeze has completed. This means we can also treat unmount in the exact same way as freeze. As an upside we can now remove the radix tree based inode writeback and xfs_unmountfs_writesb.

Because the mount process can run a quotacheck and consume lots of inodes, we need to be able to run periodic inode reclaim during the mount process. This will prevent running the system out of memory during quota checks. This essentially reverts 2bcf6e97, but that is safe to do now that the quota sync code that was causing problems during long quotacheck executions is now gone. The reclaim work is currently protected from running during the unmount process by a check against MS_ACTIVE. Unfortunately, this also means that the reclaim work cannot run during mount. The unmount process should stop the reclaim cleanly before freeing anything that the reclaim work depends on, so there is no need to have this guard in place. Also, the inode reclaim work is demand driven, so there is no need to start it immediately during mount. It will be started the moment an inode is queued for reclaim, so qutoacheck will trigger it just fine.

At the end of xfs_reclaim_inode(), the inode is locked in order to we wait for a possible concurrent lookup to complete before the inode is freed. This synchronization step was taking both the ILOCK and the IOLOCK, but the latter was causing lockdep to produce reports of the possibility of deadlock. It turns out that there's no need to acquire the IOLOCK at this point anyway. It may have been required in some earlier version of the code, but there should be no need to take the IOLOCK in xfs_iget(), so there's no (longer) any need to get it here for synchronization.

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.

Since Linux 2.6.36 the writeback code has introduces various measures for live lock prevention during sync(). Unfortunately some of these are actively harmful for the XFS model, where the inode gets marked dirty for metadata from the data I/O handler. The older_than_this checks that are now more strictly enforced since writeback: avoid livelocking WB_SYNC_ALL writeback by only calling into __writeback_inodes_sb and thus only sampling the current cut off time once. But on a slow enough devices the previous asynchronous sync pass might not have fully completed yet, and thus XFS might mark metadata dirty only after that sampling of the cut off time for the blocking pass already happened. I have not myself reproduced this myself on a real system, but by introducing artificial delay into the XFS I/O completion workqueues it can be reproduced easily. Fix this by iterating over all XFS inodes in ->sync_fs and log all that are dirty. This might log inode that only got redirtied after the previous pass, but given how cheap delayed logging of inodes is it isn't a major concern for performance.

Now that we can't have any dirty dquots around that aren't in the AIL we can get rid of the explicit dquot syncing from xfssyncd and xfs_fs_sync_fs and instead rely on AIL pushing to write out any quota updates.

If we are doing synchronous inode reclaim we block the VM from making progress in memory reclaim. So if we encouter a flush locked inode promote it in the delwri list and wake up xfsbufd to write it out now. Without this we can get hangs of up to 30 seconds during workloads hitting synchronous inode reclaim. The scheme is copied from what we do for dquot reclaims.

We now have an i_dio_count filed and surrounding infrastructure to wait for direct I/O completion instead of i_icount, and we have never needed to iocount waits for buffered I/O given that we only set the page uptodate after finishing all required work. Thus remove i_iocount, and replace the actually needed waits with calls to inode_dio_wait.

Remove the xfs_buf_relse from xfs_bwrite and let the caller handle it to mirror the delwri and read paths. Also remove the mount pointer passed to xfs_bwrite, which is superflous now that we have a mount pointer in the buftarg.

Use the move from Linux 2.6 to Linux 3.x as an excuse to kill the annoying subdirectories in the XFS source code. Besides the large amount of file rename the only changes are to the Makefile, a few files including headers with the subdirectory prefix, and the binary sysctl compat code that includes a header under fs/xfs/ from kernel/.
