      Lock stateid's can have access_bmap 0 if they were only partially
      initialized (due to a failed lock request); handle that case in

      xfs: fix xfs_debug warnings · 957935dc
      Christoph Hellwig authored
      For a CONFIG_XFS_DEBUG=n build gcc complains about statements with no
      effect in xfs_debug:
      
      fs/xfs/quota/xfs_qm_syscalls.c: In function 'xfs_qm_scall_trunc_qfiles':
      fs/xfs/quota/xfs_qm_syscalls.c:291:3: warning: statement with no effect
      
      The reason for that is that the various new xfs message functions have a
      return value which is never used, and in case of the non-debug build
      xfs_debug the macro evaluates to a plain 0 which produces the above
      warnings.  This can be fixed by turning xfs_debug into an inline function
      instead of a macro, but in addition to that I've also changed all the
      message helpers to return void as we never use their return values.

      xfs: convert log tail checking to a warning · da8a1a4a
      Dave Chinner authored
      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.

      xfs: push the AIL from memory reclaim and periodic sync · fd074841
      Dave Chinner authored
      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.

      xfs: convert the xfsaild threads to a workqueue · 0bf6a5bd
      Dave Chinner authored
      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.

      xfs: introduce background inode reclaim work · a7b339f1
      Dave Chinner authored
      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.

      xfs: convert ENOSPC inode flushing to use new syncd workqueue · 89e4cb55
      Dave Chinner authored
      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.

      xfs: introduce a xfssyncd workqueue · c6d09b66
      Dave Chinner authored
      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.

      xfs: fix extent format buffer allocation size · e828776a
      Dave Chinner authored
      When formatting an inode item, we have to allocate a separate buffer
      to hold extents when there are delayed allocation extents on the
      inode and it is in extent format. The allocation size is derived
      from the in-core data fork representation, which accounts for
      delayed allocation extents, while the on-disk representation does
      not contain any delalloc extents.
      
      As a result of this mismatch, the allocated buffer can be far larger
      than needed to hold the real extent list which, due to the fact the
      inode is in extent format, is limited to the size of the literal
      area of the inode. However, we can have thousands of delalloc
      extents, resulting in an allocation size orders of magnitude larger
      than is needed to hold all the real extents.
      
      Fix this by limiting the size of the buffer being allocated to the
      size of the literal area of the inodes in the filesystem (i.e. the
      maximum size an inode fork can grow to).
