XFS_EFI_CANCELED has not been set in the code base since xfs_efi_cancel() was removed back in 2006 by commit 065d312e ("[XFS] Remove unused iop_abort log item operation), and even then xfs_efi_cancel() was never called. I haven't tracked it back further than that (beyond git history), but it indicates that the handling of EFIs in cancelled transactions has been broken for a long time. Basically, when we get an IOP_UNPIN(lip, 1); call from xfs_trans_uncommit() (i.e. remove == 1), if we don't free the log item descriptor we leak it. Fix the behviour to be correct and kill the XFS_EFI_CANCELED flag. Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>

Now that the buffer reclaim infrastructure can handle different reclaim priorities for different types of buffers, reconnect the hooks in the XFS code that has been sitting dormant since it was ported to Linux. This should finally give use reclaim prioritisation that is on a par with the functionality that Irix provided XFS 15 years ago.

Introduce a per-buftarg LRU for memory reclaim to operate on. This is the last piece we need to put in place so that we can fully control the buffer lifecycle. This allows XFS to be responsibile for maintaining the working set of buffers under memory pressure instead of relying on the VM reclaim not to take pages we need out from underneath us. The implementation introduces a b_lru_ref counter into the buffer. This is currently set to 1 whenever the buffer is referenced and so is used to determine if the buffer should be added to the LRU or not when freed. Effectively it allows lazy LRU initialisation of the buffer so we do not need to touch the LRU list and locks in xfs_buf_find(). Instead, when the buffer is being released and we drop the last reference to it, we check the b_lru_ref count and if it is none zero we re-add the buffer reference and add the inode to the LRU. The b_lru_ref counter is decremented by the shrinker, and whenever the shrinker comes across a buffer with a zero b_lru_ref counter, if released the LRU reference on the buffer. In the absence of a lookup race, this will result in the buffer being freed. This counting mechanism is used instead of a reference flag so that it is simple to re-introduce buffer-type specific reclaim reference counts to prioritise reclaim more effectively. We still have all those hooks in the XFS code, so this will provide the infrastructure to re-implement that functionality.

Before we introduce per-buftarg LRU lists, split the shrinker implementation into per-buftarg shrinker callbacks. At the moment we wake all the xfsbufds to run the delayed write queues to free the dirty buffers and make their pages available for reclaim. However, with an LRU, we want to be able to free clean, unused buffers as well, so we need to separate the xfsbufd from the shrinker callbacks.

now that we are using RCU protection for the inode cache lookups, the lock is only needed on the modification side. Hence it is not necessary for the lock to be a rwlock as there are no read side holders anymore. Convert it to a spin lock to reflect it's exclusive nature.

With delayed logging greatly increasing the sustained parallelism of inode operations, the inode cache locking is showing significant read vs write contention when inode reclaim runs at the same time as lookups. There is also a lot more write lock acquistions than there are read locks (4:1 ratio) so the read locking is not really buying us much in the way of parallelism. To avoid the read vs write contention, change the cache to use RCU locking on the read side. To avoid needing to RCU free every single inode, use the built in slab RCU freeing mechanism. This requires us to be able to detect lookups of freed inodes, so enѕure that ever freed inode has an inode number of zero and the XFS_IRECLAIM flag set. We already check the XFS_IRECLAIM flag in cache hit lookup path, but also add a check for a zero inode number as well. We canthen convert all the read locking lockups to use RCU read side locking and hence remove all read side locking.

Introduce RCU freeing of XFS inodes so that we can convert lookup traversals to use rcu_read_lock() protection. This patch only introduces the RCU freeing to minimise the potential conflicts with mainline if this is merged into mainline via a VFS patchset. It abuses the i_dentry list for the RCU callback structure because the VFS patches make this a union so it is safe to use like this and simplifies and merge issues. This patch uses basic RCU freeing rather than SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU. The later lookup patches need the same "found free inode" protection regardless of the RCU freeing method used, so once again the RCU freeing method can be dealt with apprpriately at merge time without affecting any other code.

A long standing problem for streaming writeѕ through the NFS server has been that the NFS server opens and closes file descriptors on an inode for every write. The result of this behaviour is that the ->release() function is called on every close and that results in XFS truncating speculative preallocation beyond the EOF. This has an adverse effect on file layout when multiple files are being written at the same time - they interleave their extents and can result in severe fragmentation. To avoid this problem, keep track of ->release calls made on a dirty inode. For most cases, an inode is only going to be opened once for writing and then closed again during it's lifetime in cache. Hence if there are multiple ->release calls when the inode is dirty, there is a good chance that the inode is being accessed by the NFS server. Hence set a flag the first time ->release is called while there are delalloc blocks still outstanding on the inode. If this flag is set when ->release is next called, then do no truncate away the speculative preallocation - leave it there so that subsequent writes do not need to reallocate the delalloc space. This will prevent interleaving of extents of different inodes written concurrently to the same AG. If we get this wrong, it is not a big deal as we truncate speculative allocation beyond EOF anyway in xfs_inactive() when the inode is thrown out of the cache.

Currently the size of the speculative preallocation during delayed allocation is fixed by either the allocsize mount option of a default size. We are seeing a lot of cases where we need to recommend using the allocsize mount option to prevent fragmentation when buffered writes land in the same AG. Rather than using a fixed preallocation size by default (up to 64k), make it dynamic by basing it on the current inode size. That way the EOF preallocation will increase as the file size increases. Hence for streaming writes we are much more likely to get large preallocations exactly when we need it to reduce fragementation. For default settings, the size of the initial extents is determined by the number of parallel writers and the amount of memory in the machine. For 4GB RAM and 4 concurrent 32GB file writes: EXT: FILE-OFFSET BLOCK-RANGE AG AG-OFFSET TOTAL 0: [0..1048575]: 1048672..2097247 0 (1048672..2097247) 1048576 1: [1048576..2097151]: 5242976..6291551 0 (5242976..6291551) 1048576 2: [2097152..4194303]: 12583008..14680159 0 (12583008..14680159) 2097152 3: [4194304..8388607]: 25165920..29360223 0 (25165920..29360223) 4194304 4: [8388608..16777215]: 58720352..67108959 0 (58720352..67108959) 8388608 5: [16777216..33554423]: 117440584..134217791 0 (117440584..134217791) 16777208 6: [33554424..50331511]: 184549056..201326143 0 (184549056..201326143) 16777088 7: [50331512..67108599]: 251657408..268434495 0 (251657408..268434495) 16777088 and for 16 concurrent 16GB file writes: EXT: FILE-OFFSET BLOCK-RANGE AG AG-OFFSET TOTAL 0: [0..262143]: 2490472..2752615 0 (2490472..2752615) 262144 1: [262144..524287]: 6291560..6553703 0 (6291560..6553703) 262144 2: [524288..1048575]: 13631592..14155879 0 (13631592..14155879) 524288 3: [1048576..2097151]: 30408808..31457383 0 (30408808..31457383) 1048576 4: [2097152..4194303]: 52428904..54526055 0 (52428904..54526055) 2097152 5: [4194304..8388607]: 104857704..109052007 0 (104857704..109052007) 4194304 6: [8388608..16777215]: 209715304..218103911 0 (209715304..218103911) 8388608 7: [16777216..33554423]: 452984848..469762055 0 (452984848..469762055) 16777208 Because it is hard to take back specualtive preallocation, cases where there are large slow growing log files on a nearly full filesystem may cause premature ENOSPC. Hence as the filesystem nears full, the maximum dynamic prealloc size іs reduced according to this table (based on 4k block size): freespace max prealloc size >5% full extent (8GB) 4-5% 2GB (8GB >> 2) 3-4% 1GB (8GB >> 3) 2-3% 512MB (8GB >> 4) 1-2% 256MB (8GB >> 5) <1% 128MB (8GB >> 6) This should reduce the amount of space held in speculative preallocation for such cases. The allocsize mount option turns off the dynamic behaviour and fixes the prealloc size to whatever the mount option specifies. i.e. the behaviour is unchanged.

The XFS iolock needs to be re-initialised to a new lock class before it enters reclaim to prevent lockdep false positives. Unfortunately, this is not sufficient protection as inodes in the XFS_IRECLAIMABLE state can be recycled and not re-initialised before being reused. We need to re-initialise the lock state when transfering out of XFS_IRECLAIMABLE state to XFS_INEW, but we need to keep the same class as if the inode was just allocated. Hence we need a specific lockdep class variable for the iolock so that both initialisations use the same class. While there, add a specific class for inodes in the reclaim state so that it is easy to tell from lockdep reports what state the inode was in that generated the report.

Don't trylock the buffer. We are the only one ever locking it for a regular file address space, and trylock was only copied from the generic code which did it due to the old buffer based writeout in jbd. Also make sure to only write out the buffer if the iomap actually is valid, because we wouldn't have a proper mapping otherwise. In practice we will never get an invalid mapping here as the page lock guarantees truncate doesn't race with us, but better be safe than sorry. Also make sure we allocate a new ioend when crossing boundaries between mappings, just like we do for delalloc and unwritten extents. Again this currently doesn't matter as the I/O end handler only cares for the boundaries for unwritten extents, but this makes the code fully correct and the same as for delalloc/unwritten extents.

When an inode has been marked stale because the cluster is being freed, we don't want to (re-)insert this inode into the AIL. There is a race condition where the cluster buffer may be unpinned before the inode is inserted into the AIL during transaction committed processing. If the buffer is unpinned before the inode item has been committed and inserted, then it is possible for the buffer to be released and hence processthe stale inode callbacks before the inode is inserted into the AIL. In this case, we then insert a clean, stale inode into the AIL which will never get removed by an IO completion. It will, however, get reclaimed and that triggers an assert in xfs_inode_free() complaining about freeing an inode still in the AIL. This race can be avoided by not moving stale inodes forward in the AIL during transaction commit completion processing. This closes the race condition by ensuring we never insert clean stale inodes into the AIL. It is safe to do this because a dirty stale inode, by definition, must already be in the AIL.

There is an assumption in the parts of XFS that flushing a dirty file will make all the delayed allocation blocks disappear from an inode. That is, that after calling xfs_flush_pages() then ip->i_delayed_blks will be zero. This is an invalid assumption as we may have specualtive preallocation beyond EOF and they are recorded in ip->i_delayed_blks. A flush of the dirty pages of an inode will not change the state of these blocks beyond EOF, so a non-zero deeelalloc block count after a flush is valid. The bmap code has an invalid ASSERT() that needs to be removed, and the swapext code has a bug in that while it swaps the data forks around, it fails to swap the i_delayed_blks counter associated with the fork and hence can get the block accounting wrong.

As reported by Nick Piggin, XFS is suffering from long pauses under highly concurrent workloads when hosted on ramdisks. The problem is that an inode buffer is stuck in the pinned state in memory and as a result either the inode buffer or one of the inodes within the buffer is stopping the tail of the log from being moved forward. The system remains in this state until a periodic log force issued by xfssyncd causes the buffer to be unpinned. The main problem is that these are stale buffers, and are hence held locked until the transaction/checkpoint that marked them state has been committed to disk. When the filesystem gets into this state, only the xfssyncd can cause the async transactions to be committed to disk and hence unpin the inode buffer. This problem was encountered when scaling the busy extent list, but only the blocking lock interface was fixed to solve the problem. Extend the same fix to the buffer trylock operations - if we fail to lock a pinned, stale buffer, then force the log immediately so that when the next attempt to lock it comes around, it will have been unpinned.

Since the move to the new truncate sequence we call xfs_setattr to truncate down excessively instanciated blocks. As shown by the testcase in kernel.org BZ #22452 that doesn't work too well. Due to the confusion of the internal inode size, and the VFS inode i_size it zeroes data that it shouldn't. But full blown truncate seems like overkill here. We only instanciate delayed allocations in the write path, and given that we never released the iolock we can't have converted them to real allocations yet either. The only nasty case is pre-existing preallocation which we need to skip. We already do this for page discard during writeback, so make the delayed allocation block punching a generic function and call it from the failed write path as well as xfs_aops_discard_page. The callers are responsible for ensuring that partial blocks are not truncated away, and that they hold the ilock. Based on a fix originally from Christoph Hellwig.

The main problem with this code is once we hit a lockdep splat we always keep oops_in_progress set, the console layer uses oops_in_progress with KMS to decide when it should be showing the oops and not showing X, so it causes problems around suspend/resume time when a userspace resume can cause a console switch away from X, only if oops_in_progress is set (which is what we want if an oops actually is in progress, but not because we had a lockdep splat 2 days prior).
