This adds a full fledget direct I/O implementation using the iomap interface. Full fledged in this case means all features are supported: AIO, vectored I/O, any iov_iter type including kernel pointers, bvecs and pipes, support for hole filling and async apending writes. It does not mean supporting all the warts of the old generic code. We expect i_rwsem to be held over the duration of the call, and we expect to maintain i_dio_count ourselves, and we pass on any kinds of mapping to the file system for now. The algorithm used is very simple: We use iomap_apply to iterate over the range of the I/O, and then we use the new bio_iov_iter_get_pages helper to lock down the user range for the size of the extent. bio_iov_iter_get_pages can currently lock down twice as many pages as the old direct I/O code did, which means that we will have a better batch factor for everything but overwrites of badly fragmented files.

This patch drops the XFS-own i_iolock and uses the VFS i_rwsem which recently replaced i_mutex instead. This means we only have to take one lock instead of two in many fast path operations, and we can also shrink the xfs_inode structure. Thanks to the xfs_ilock family there is very little churn, the only thing of note is that we need to switch to use the lock_two_directory helper for taking the i_rwsem on two inodes in a few places to make sure our lock order matches the one used in the VFS.

Christoph requested lockdep_assert_held() variants that distinguish between held-for-read or held-for-write. Provide: int lock_is_held_type(struct lockdep_map *lock, int read) which takes the same argument as lock_acquire(.read) and matches it to the held_lock instance. Use of this function should be gated by the debug_locks variable. When that is 0 the return value of the lock_is_held_type() function is undefined. This is done to allow both negative and positive tests for holding locks. By default we provide (positive) lockdep_assert_held{,_exclusive,_read}() macros.

Brian Foster authored
COW fork reservation is implemented via delayed allocation. The code is modeled after the traditional delalloc allocation code, but is slightly different in terms of how preallocation occurs. Rather than post-eof speculative preallocation, COW fork preallocation is implemented via a COW extent size hint that is designed to minimize fragmentation as a reflinked file is split over time. xfs_reflink_reserve_cow() still uses logic that is oriented towards dealing with post-eof speculative preallocation, however, and is stale or not necessarily correct. First, the EOF alignment to the COW extent size hint is implemented in xfs_bmapi_reserve_delalloc() (which does so correctly by aligning the start and end offsets) and so is not necessary in xfs_reflink_reserve_cow(). The backoff and retry logic on ENOSPC is also ineffective for the same reason, as xfs_bmapi_reserve_delalloc() will simply perform the same allocation request on the retry. Finally, since the COW extent size hint aligns the start and end offset of the range to allocate, the end_fsb != orig_end_fsb logic is not sufficient. Indeed, if a write request happens to end on an aligned offset, it is possible that we do not tag the inode for COW preallocation even though xfs_bmapi_reserve_delalloc() may have preallocated at the start offset. Kill the unnecessary, duplicate code in xfs_reflink_reserve_cow(). Remove the inode tag logic as well since xfs_bmapi_reserve_delalloc() has been updated to tag the inode correctly.

Speculative preallocation is currently processed entirely by the callers of xfs_bmapi_reserve_delalloc(). The caller determines how much preallocation to include, adjusts the extent length and passes down the resulting request. While this works fine for post-eof speculative preallocation, it is not as reliable for COW fork preallocation. COW fork preallocation is implemented via the cowextszhint, which aligns the start offset as well as the length of the extent. Further, it is difficult for the caller to accurately identify when preallocation occurs because the returned extent could have been merged with neighboring extents in the fork. To simplify this situation and facilitate further COW fork preallocation enhancements, update xfs_bmapi_reserve_delalloc() to take a separate preallocation parameter to incorporate into the allocation request. The preallocation blocks value is tacked onto the end of the request and adjusted to accommodate neighboring extents and extent size limits. Since xfs_bmapi_reserve_delalloc() now knows precisely how much preallocation was included in the allocation, it can also tag the inodes appropriately to support preallocation reclaim. Note that xfs_bmapi_reserve_delalloc() callers are not yet updated to use the preallocation mechanism. This patch should not change behavior outside of correctly tagging reflink inodes when start offset preallocation occurs (which the caller does not handle correctly).

xfs_iext_lookup_extent looks up a single extent at the passed in offset, and returns the extent covering the area, or the one behind it in case of a hole, as well as the index of the returned extent in arguments, as well as a simple bool as return value that is set to false if no extent could be found because the offset is behind EOF. It is a simpler replacement for xfs_bmap_search_extent that leaves looking up the rarely needed previous extent to the caller and has a nicer calling convention. xfs_iext_get_extent is a helper for iterating over the extent list, it takes an extent index as input, and returns the extent at that index in it's expanded form in an argument if it exists. The actual return value is a bool whether the index is valid or not.

Filesystem shutdown testing on an older distro kernel has uncovered an imbalanced locking pattern for the inode flush lock in xfs_reclaim_inode(). Specifically, there is a double unlock sequence between the call to xfs_iflush_abort() and xfs_reclaim_inode() at the "reclaim:" label. This actually does not cause obvious problems on current kernels due to the current flush lock implementation. Older kernels use a counting based flush lock mechanism, however, which effectively breaks the lock indefinitely when an already unlocked flush lock is repeatedly unlocked. Though this only currently occurs on filesystem shutdown, it has reproduced the effect of elevating an fs shutdown to a system-wide crash or hang. As it turns out, the flush lock is not actually required for the reclaim logic in xfs_reclaim_inode() because by that time we have already cycled the flush lock once while holding ILOCK_EXCL. Therefore, remove the additional flush lock/unlock cycle around the 'reclaim:' label and update branches into this label to release the flush lock where appropriate. Add an assert to xfs_ifunlock() to help prevent future occurences of the same problem.

There have been several reports over the years of NULL pointer dereferences in xfs_trans_log_inode during xfs_fsr processes, when the process is doing an fput and tearing down extents on the temporary inode, something like: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000018 PID: 29439 TASK: ffff880550584fa0 CPU: 6 COMMAND: "xfs_fsr" [exception RIP: xfs_trans_log_inode+0x10] #9 [ffff8800a57bbbe0] xfs_bunmapi at ffffffffa037398e [xfs] #10 [ffff8800a57bbce8] xfs_itruncate_extents at ffffffffa0391b29 [xfs] #11 [ffff8800a57bbd88] xfs_inactive_truncate at ffffffffa0391d0c [xfs] #12 [ffff8800a57bbdb8] xfs_inactive at ffffffffa0392508 [xfs] #13 [ffff8800a57bbdd8] xfs_fs_evict_inode at ffffffffa035907e [xfs] #14 [ffff8800a57bbe00] evict at ffffffff811e1b67 #15 [ffff8800a57bbe28] iput at ffffffff811e23a5 #16 [ffff8800a57bbe58] dentry_kill at ffffffff811dcfc8 #17 [ffff8800a57bbe88] dput at ffffffff811dd06c #18 [ffff8800a57bbea8] __fput at ffffffff811c823b #19 [ffff8800a57bbef0] ____fput at ffffffff811c846e #20 [ffff8800a57bbf00] task_work_run at ffffffff81093b27 #21 [ffff8800a57bbf30] do_notify_resume at ffffffff81013b0c #22 [ffff8800a57bbf50] int_signal at ffffffff8161405d As it turns out, this is because the i_itemp pointer, along with the d_ops pointer, has been overwritten with zeros when we tear down the extents during truncate. When the in-core inode fork on the temporary inode used by xfs_fsr was originally set up during the extent swap, we mistakenly looked at di_nextents to determine whether all extents fit inline, but this misses extents generated by speculative preallocation; we should be using if_bytes instead. This mistake corrupts the in-memory inode, and code in xfs_iext_remove_inline eventually gets bad inputs, causing it to memmove and memset incorrect ranges; this became apparent because the two values in ifp->if_u2.if_inline_ext[1] contained what should have been in d_ops and i_itemp; they were memmoved due to incorrect array indexing and then the original locations were zeroed with memset, again due to an array overrun. Fix this by properly using i_df.if_bytes to determine the number of extents, not di_nextents. Thanks to dchinner for looking at this with me and spotting the root cause.

We've had reports of generic/095 causing XFS to BUG() in __xfs_get_blocks() due to the existence of delalloc blocks on a direct I/O read. generic/095 issues a mix of various types of I/O, including direct and memory mapped I/O to a single file. This is clearly not supported behavior and is known to lead to such problems. E.g., the lack of exclusion between the direct I/O and write fault paths means that a write fault can allocate delalloc blocks in a region of a file that was previously a hole after the direct read has attempted to flush/inval the file range, but before it actually reads the block mapping. In turn, the direct read discovers a delalloc extent and cannot proceed. While the appropriate solution here is to not mix direct and memory mapped I/O to the same regions of the same file, the current BUG_ON() behavior is probably overkill as it can crash the entire system. Instead, localize the failure to the I/O in question by returning an error for a direct I/O that cannot be handled safely due to delalloc blocks. Be careful to allow the case of a direct write to post-eof delalloc blocks. This can occur due to speculative preallocation and is safe as post-eof blocks are not accompanied by dirty pages in pagecache (conversely, preallocation within eof must have been zeroed, and thus dirtied, before the inode size could have been increased beyond said blocks). Finally, provide an additional warning if a direct I/O write occurs while the file is memory mapped. This may not catch all problematic scenarios, but provides a hint that some known-to-be-problematic I/O methods are in use.

The cowblocks background scanner currently clears the cowblocks tag for inodes without any real allocations in the cow fork. This excludes inodes with only delalloc blocks in the cow fork. While we might never expect to clear delalloc blocks from the cow fork in the background scanner, it is not necessarily correct to clear the cowblocks tag from such inodes. For example, if the background scanner happens to process an inode between a buffered write and writeback, the scanner catches the inode in a state after delalloc blocks have been allocated to the cow fork but before the delalloc blocks have been converted to real blocks by writeback. The background scanner then incorrectly clears the cowblocks tag, even if part of the aforementioned delalloc reservation will not be remapped to the data fork (i.e., extra blocks due to the cowextsize hint). This means that any such additional blocks in the cow fork might never be reclaimed by the background scanner and could persist until the inode itself is reclaimed. To address this problem, only skip and clear inodes without any cow fork allocations whatsoever from the background scanner. While we generally do not want to cancel delalloc reservations from the background scanner, the pagecache dirty check following the cowblocks check should prevent that situation. If we do end up with delalloc cow fork blocks without a dirty address space mapping, this is probably an indication that something has gone wrong and the blocks should be reclaimed, as they may never be converted to a real allocation.

DAX PMDs have been disabled since Jan Kara introduced DAX radix tree based locking. This patch allows DAX PMDs to participate in the DAX radix tree based locking scheme so that they can be re-enabled using the new struct iomap based fault handlers. There are currently three types of DAX 4k entries: 4k zero pages, 4k DAX mappings that have an associated block allocation, and 4k DAX empty entries. The empty entries exist to provide locking for the duration of a given page fault. This patch adds three equivalent 2MiB DAX entries: Huge Zero Page (HZP) entries, PMD DAX entries that have associated block allocations, and 2 MiB DAX empty entries. Unlike the 4k case where we insert a struct page* into the radix tree for 4k zero pages, for HZP we insert a DAX exceptional entry with the new RADIX_DAX_HZP flag set. This is because we use a single 2 MiB zero page in every 2MiB hole mapping, and it doesn't make sense to have that same struct page* with multiple entries in multiple trees. This would cause contention on the single page lock for the one Huge Zero Page, and it would break the page->index and page->mapping associations that are assumed to be valid in many other places in the kernel. One difficult use case is when one thread is trying to use 4k entries in radix tree for a given offset, and another thread is using 2 MiB entries for that same offset. The current code handles this by making the 2 MiB user fall back to 4k entries for most cases. This was done because it is the simplest solution, and because the use of 2MiB pages is already opportunistic. If we were to try to upgrade from 4k pages to 2MiB pages for a given range, we run into the problem of how we lock out 4k page faults for the entire 2MiB range while we clean out the radix tree so we can insert the 2MiB entry. We can solve this problem if we need to, but I think that the cases where both 2MiB entries and 4K entries are being used for the same range will be rare enough and the gain small enough that it probably won't be worth the complexity.
