This is an effective revert of commit a30eec2a: "ext4: stop issuing discards if not supported by device". The problem is that there are some devices that may return errors in response to a discard request some times but not others. (One example would be a hybrid dm device which concatenates an SSD and an HDD device). By this logic, I also removed the error checking from ext4's FITRIM code; so that an error from a discard will not stop the FITRIM from trying to trim the rest of the file system.

In the bio completion routine, we should not be setting PageUptodate at all -- it's set at sys_write() time, and is unaffected by success/failure of the write to disk. This can cause a page corruption bug when the file system's block size is less than the architecture's VM page size. if we have only written a single block -- we might end up setting the page's PageUptodate flag, indicating that page is completely read into memory, which may not be true. This could cause subsequent reads to get bad data. This commit also takes the opportunity to clean up error handling in ext4_end_bio(), and remove some extraneous code: - fixes ext4_end_bio() to set AS_EIO in the page->mapping->flags on error, which was left out by mistake. This is needed so that fsync() will return an error if there was an I/O error. - remove the clear_buffer_dirty() call on unmapped buffers for each page. - consolidate page/buffer error handling in a single section.

Provide better emulation for ext[23] mode by enforcing that the file system does not have any unsupported file system features as defined by ext[23] when emulating the ext[23] file system driver when CONFIG_EXT4_USE_FOR_EXT23 is defined. This causes the file system type information in /proc/mounts to be correct for the automatically mounted root file system. This also means that "mount -t ext2 /dev/sda /mnt" will fail if /dev/sda contains an ext3 or ext4 file system, just as one would expect if the original ext2 file system driver were in use.

In commit 13583b16 ("PCI: refactor io size calculation code") Ram had a thinko in the refactorization of the code: the end result used the variable 'align' for the bus alignment, but the original code used 'min_align'. Since then, another use of that 'align' variable got introduced by commit c8adf9a3 ("PCI: pre-allocate additional resources to devices only after successful allocation of essential resources.") Fix both of those uses to use 'min_align' as they should.

ext4 has taken the stance that, in the absence of a journal, when an fsync/fdatasync of an inode is done, the parent directory should be sync'ed if this inode entry is new. ext4_sync_parent(), which implements this, does indeed sync the dirent pages for parent directories, but it does not sync the directory *inode*. This patch fixes this. Also now return error status from ext4_sync_parent(). I tested this using a power fail test, which panics a machine running a file server getting requests from a client. Without this patch, on about every other test run, the server is missing many, many files that had been synced. With this patch, on > 6 runs, I see zero files being lost.

On the Power platform, the log tail debug checks fire excessively causing the system to panic early in testing. The debug checks are known to be racy, though on x86_64 there is no evidence that they trigger at all. We want to keep the checks active on debug systems to alert us to problems with log space accounting, but we need to reduce the impact of a racy check on testing on the Power platform. As a result, convert the ASSERT conditions to warnings, and allow them to fire only once per filesystem mount. This will prevent false positives from interfering with testing, whilst still providing us with the indication that they may be a problem with log space accounting should that occur.

When we are short on memory, we want to expedite the cleaning of dirty objects. Hence when we run short on memory, we need to kick the AIL flushing into action to clean as many dirty objects as quickly as possible. To implement this, sample the lsn of the log item at the head of the AIL and use that as the push target for the AIL flush. Further, we keep items in the AIL that are dirty that are not tracked any other way, so we can get objects sitting in the AIL that don't get written back until the AIL is pushed. Hence to get the filesystem to the idle state, we might need to push the AIL to flush out any remaining dirty objects sitting in the AIL. This requires the same push mechanism as the reclaim push. This patch also renames xfs_trans_ail_tail() to xfs_ail_min_lsn() to match the new xfs_ail_max_lsn() function introduced in this patch. Similarly for xfs_trans_ail_push -> xfs_ail_push.

Similar to the xfssyncd, the per-filesystem xfsaild threads can be converted to a global workqueue and run periodically by delayed works. This makes sense for the AIL pushing because it uses variable timeouts depending on the work that needs to be done. By removing the xfsaild, we simplify the AIL pushing code and remove the need to spread the code to implement the threading and pushing across multiple files.

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.
