When we read inodes via bulkstat, we generally only read them once and then throw them away - they never get used again. If we retain them in cache, then it simply causes the working set of inodes and other cached items to be reclaimed just so the inode cache can grow. Avoid this problem by marking inodes read by bulkstat not to be cached and check this flag in .drop_inode to determine whether the inode should be added to the VFS LRU or not. If the inode lookup hits an already cached inode, then don't set the flag. If the inode lookup hits an inode marked with no cache flag, remove the flag and allow it to be cached once the current reference goes away. Inodes marked as not cached will get cleaned up by the background inode reclaim or via memory pressure, so they will still generate some short term cache pressure. They will, however, be reclaimed much sooner and in preference to cache hot inodes.

We currently have significant issues with the amount of stack that allocation in XFS uses, especially in the writeback path. We can easily consume 4k of stack between mapping the page, manipulating the bmap btree and allocating blocks from the free list. Not to mention btree block readahead and other functionality that issues IO in the allocation path. As a result, we can no longer fit allocation in the writeback path in the stack space provided on x86_64. To alleviate this problem, introduce an allocation workqueue and move all allocations to a seperate context. This can be easily added as an interposing layer into xfs_alloc_vextent(), which takes a single argument structure and does not return until the allocation is complete or has failed. To do this, add a work structure and a completion to the allocation args structure. This allows xfs_alloc_vextent to queue the args onto the workqueue and wait for it to be completed by the worker. This can be done completely transparently to the caller. The worker function needs to ensure that it sets and clears the PF_TRANS flag appropriately as it is being run in an active transaction context. Work can also be queued in a memory reclaim context, so a rescuer is needed for the workqueue.

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.

If the writeback code writes back an inode because it has expired we currently use the non-blockin ->write_inode path. This means any inode that is pinned is skipped. With delayed logging and a workload that has very little log traffic otherwise it is very likely that an inode that gets constantly written to is always pinned, and thus we keep refusing to write it. The VM writeback code at that point redirties it and doesn't try to write it again for another 30 seconds. This means under certain scenarious time based metadata writeback never happens. Fix this by calling into xfs_log_inode for kupdate in addition to data integrity syncs, and thus transfer the inode to the log ASAP.

There is no reason to keep a reference to the inode even if we unlock it during transaction commit because we never drop a reference between the ijoin and commit. Also use this fact to merge xfs_trans_ijoin_ref back into xfs_trans_ijoin - the third argument decides if an unlock is needed now. I'm actually starting to wonder if allowing inodes to be unlocked at transaction commit really is worth the effort.

Currently we have a few issues with the way the workqueue code is used to implement AIL pushing: - it accidentally uses the same workqueue as the syncer action, and thus can be prevented from running if there are enough sync actions active in the system. - it doesn't use the HIGHPRI flag to queue at the head of the queue of work items At this point I'm not confident enough in getting all the workqueue flags and tweaks right to provide a perfectly reliable execution context for AIL pushing, which is the most important piece in XFS to make forward progress when the log fills. Revert back to use a kthread per filesystem which fixes all the above issues at the cost of having a task struct and stack around for each mounted filesystem. In addition this also gives us much better ways to diagnose any issues involving hung AIL pushing and removes a small amount of code.

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. This allows us to remove the old xfssyncd threads and infrastructure as they are no longer used.

All of the work xfssyncd does is background functionality. There is no need for a thread per filesystem to do this work - it can al be managed by a global workqueue now they manage concurrency effectively. Introduce a new gglobal xfssyncd workqueue, and convert the periodic work to use this new functionality. To do this, use a delayed work construct to schedule the next running of the periodic sync work for the filesystem. When the sync work is complete, queue a new delayed work for the next running of the sync work. For laptop mode, we wait on completion for the sync works, so ensure that the sync work queuing interface can flush and wait for work to complete to enable the work queue infrastructure to replace the current sequence number and wakeup that is used. Because the sync work does non-trivial amounts of work, mark the new work queue as CPU intensive.

During mount, we can do a quotacheck that involves a bulkstat pass on all inodes. If there are more inodes in the filesystem than can be held in memory, we require the inode cache shrinker to run to ensure that we don't run out of memory. Unfortunately, the inode cache shrinker is not registered until we get to the end of the superblock setup process, which is after a quotacheck is run if it is needed. Hence we need to register the inode cache shrinker earlier in the mount process so that we don't OOM during mount. This requires that we also initialise the syncd work before we register the shrinker, so we nee dto juggle that around as well. While there, make sure that we have set up the block sizes in the VFS superblock correctly before the quotacheck is run so that any inodes that are cached as a result of the quotacheck have their block size fields set up correctly.

There is an ABBA deadlock between synchronous inode flushing in xfs_reclaim_inode and xfs_icluster_free. xfs_icluster_free locks the buffer, then takes inode ilocks, whilst synchronous reclaim takes the ilock followed by the buffer lock in xfs_iflush(). To avoid this deadlock, separate the inode cluster buffer locking semantics from the synchronous inode flush semantics, allowing callers to attempt to lock the buffer but still issue synchronous IO if it can get the buffer. This requires xfs_iflush() calls that currently use non-blocking semantics to pass SYNC_TRYLOCK rather than 0 as the flags parameter. This allows xfs_reclaim_inode to avoid the deadlock on the buffer lock and detect the failure so that it can drop the inode ilock and restart the reclaim attempt on the inode. This allows xfs_ifree_cluster to obtain the inode lock, mark the inode stale and release it and hence defuse the deadlock situation. It also has the pleasant side effect of avoiding IO in xfs_reclaim_inode when it tries to next reclaim the inode as it is now marked stale.
