      xfs: on-stack delayed write buffer lists · 43ff2122
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      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.
      
      [ Dave Chinner:
      	- rebase on previous patches.
      	- improved comments for XBF_DELWRI_Q handling
      	- fix XBF_ASYNC handling in queue submission (test 106 failure)
      	- rename delwri submit function buffer list parameters for clarity
      	- xfs_efd_item_push() should return XFS_ITEM_PINNED ]

      xfs: do not write the buffer from xfs_qm_dqflush · fe7257fd
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      Instead of writing the buffer directly from inside xfs_qm_dqflush return it
      to the caller and let the caller decide what to do with the buffer.  Also
      remove the pincount check in xfs_qm_dqflush that all non-blocking callers
      already implement and the now unused flags parameter and the XFS_DQ_IS_DIRTY
      check that all callers already perform.

      xfs: remove log item from AIL in xfs_iflush after a shutdown · 32ce90a4
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      If a filesystem has been forced shutdown we are never going to write inodes
      to disk, which means the inode items will stay in the AIL until we free
      the inode. Currently that is not a problem, but a pending change requires us
      to empty the AIL before shutting down the filesystem. In that case leaving
      the inode in the AIL is lethal. Make sure to remove the log item from the AIL
      to allow emptying the AIL on shutdown filesystems.

      xfs: use a normal shrinker for the dquot freelist · 92b2e5b3
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      Stop reusing dquots from the freelist when allocating new ones directly, and
      implement a shrinker that actually follows the specifications for the
      interface.  The shrinker implementation is still highly suboptimal at this
      point, but we can gradually work on it.
      
      This also fixes an bug in the previous lock ordering, where we would take
      the hash and dqlist locks inside of the freelist lock against the normal
      lock ordering.  This is only solvable by introducing the dispose list,
      and thus not when using direct reclaim of unused dquots for new allocations.
      
      As a side-effect the quota upper bound and used to free ratio values in
      /proc/fs/xfs/xqm are set to 0 as these values don't make any sense in the
      new world order.

      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
