The remaining non-vectorised code for the directory structure is the
node format blocks. This is shared with the attribute tree, and so
is slightly more complex to vectorise.

Introduce a "non-directory" directory ops structure that is attached
to all non-directory inodes so that attribute operations can be
vectorised for all inodes.

Once we do this, we can vectorise all the da btree operations.
Because this patch adds more infrastructure than it removes the
binary size does not decrease:

Lots of the dir code now goes through switches to determine what is
the correct on-disk format to parse. It generally involves a
"xfs_sbversion_hasfoo" check, deferencing the superblock version and
feature fields and hence touching several cache lines per operation
in the process. Some operations do multiple checks because they nest
conditional operations and they don't pass the information in a
direct fashion between each other.

Hence, add an ops vector to the xfs_inode structure that is
configured when the inode is initialised to point to all the correct
decode and encoding operations.  This will significantly reduce the
branchiness and cacheline footprint of the directory object decoding
and encoding.

This is the first patch in a series of conversion patches. It will
introduce the ops structure, the setup of it and add the first
operation to the vector. Subsequent patches will convert directory
ops one at a time to keep the changes simple and obvious.

Just this patch shows the benefit of such an approach on code size.
Just converting the two shortform dir operations as this patch does
decreases the built binary size by ~1500 bytes:

$ size fs/xfs/xfs.o.orig fs/xfs/xfs.o.p1
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
 794490   96802    1096  892388   d9de4 fs/xfs/xfs.o.orig
 792986   96802    1096  890884   d9804 fs/xfs/xfs.o.p1
$

That's a significant decrease in the instruction cache footprint of
the directory code for such a simple change, and indicates that this
approach is definitely worth pursuing further.

With the addition of CRCs, there is such a wide and varied change to

This commit introduces all the new superblock fields needed for all

This commit does not bump the superblock version number, however.
That will be done as a separate commit at the end of the series

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.

Doing background CIL flushes adds significant latency to whatever
async transaction that triggers it. To avoid blocking async
transactions on things like waiting for log buffer IO to complete,
move the CIL push off into a workqueue.  By moving the push work
into a workqueue, we remove all the latency that the commit adds
from the foreground transaction commit path. This also means that
single threaded workloads won't do the CIL push procssing, leaving
them more CPU to do more async transactions.

To do this, we need to keep track of the sequence number we have
pushed work for. This avoids having many transaction commits
attempting to schedule work for the same sequence, and ensures that
we only ever have one push (background or forced) in progress at a
time. It also means that we don't need to take the CIL lock in write
mode to check for potential background push races, which reduces
lock contention.

To avoid potential issues with "smart" IO schedulers, don't use the
workqueue for log force triggered flushes. Instead, do them directly
so that the log IO is done directly by the process issuing the log
force and so doesn't get stuck on IO elevator queue idling
incorrectly delaying the log IO from the workqueue.

Now that we write back all metadata either synchronously or through

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

Background inode reclaim needs to run more frequently that the XFS
syncd work is run as 30s is too long between optimal reclaim runs.
Add a new periodic work item to the xfs syncd workqueue to run a
fast, non-blocking inode reclaim scan.

Background inode reclaim is kicked by the act of marking inodes for
reclaim.  When an AG is first marked as having reclaimable inodes,
the background reclaim work is kicked. It will continue to run
periodically untill it detects that there are no more reclaimable
inodes. It will be kicked again when the first inode is queued for
reclaim.

To ensure shrinker based inode reclaim throttles to the inode
cleaning and reclaim rate but still reclaim inodes efficiently, make it kick the
background inode reclaim so that when we are low on memory we are
trying to reclaim inodes as efficiently as possible. This kick shoul
d not be necessary, but it will protect against failures to kick the
background reclaim when inodes are first dirtied.

To provide the rate throttling, make the shrinker pass do
synchronous inode reclaim so that it blocks on inodes under IO. This
means that the shrinker will reclaim inodes rather than just
skipping over them, but it does not adversely affect the rate of
reclaim because most dirty inodes are already under IO due to the
background reclaim work the shrinker kicked.

These two modifications solve one of the two OOM killer invocations
Chris Mason reported recently when running a stress testing script.
The particular workload trigger for the OOM killer invocation is
where there are more threads than CPUs all unlinking files in an
extremely memory constrained environment. Unlike other solutions,
this one does not have a performance impact on performance when
memory is not constrained or the number of concurrent threads
operating is <= to the number of CPUs.

On of the problems with the current inode flush at ENOSPC is that we
queue a flush per ENOSPC event, regardless of how many are already
queued. Thi can result in    hundreds of queued flushes, most of
which simply burn CPU scanned and do no real work. This simply slows
down allocation at ENOSPC.

We really only need one active flush at a time, and we can easily
implement that via the new xfs_syncd_wq. All we need to do is queue
a flush if one is not already active, then block waiting for the
currently active flush to complete. The result is that we only ever
have a single ENOSPC inode flush active at a time and this greatly
reduces the overhead of ENOSPC processing.

On my 2p test machine, this results in tests exercising ENOSPC
conditions running significantly faster - 042 halves execution time,
083 drops from 60s to 5s, etc - while not introducing test
regressions.
