      xfs: Ensure we force all busy extents in range to disk · fd45e478
      Dave Chinner authored 
      When we search for and find a busy extent during allocation we
force the log out to ensure the extent free transaction is on
disk before the allocation transaction. The current implementation
has a subtle bug in it--it does not handle multiple overlapping
ranges.

That is, if we free lots of little extents into a single
contiguous extent, then allocate the contiguous extent, the busy
search code stops searching at the first extent it finds that
overlaps the allocated range. It then uses the commit LSN of the
transaction to force the log out to.

Unfortunately, the other busy ranges might have more recent
commit LSNs than the first busy extent that is found, and this
results in xfs_alloc_search_busy() returning before all the
extent free transactions are on disk for the range being
allocated. This can lead to potential metadata corruption or
stale data exposure after a crash because log replay won't replay
all the extent free transactions that cover the allocation range.

(Dropped the "found" argument from the xfs_alloc_busysearch trace
event.)

      xfs: Don't flush stale inodes · 44e08c45
      Dave Chinner authored 
      Because inodes remain in cache much longer than inode buffers do
under memory pressure, we can get the situation where we have
stale, dirty inodes being reclaimed but the backing storage has
been freed.  Hence we should never, ever flush XFS_ISTALE inodes
to disk as there is no guarantee that the backing buffer is in
cache and still marked stale when the flush occurs.

      xfs: fix timestamp handling in xfs_setattr · d6d59bad
      Christoph Hellwig authored 
      We currently have some rather odd code in xfs_setattr for
updating the a/c/mtime timestamps:

 - first we do a non-transaction update if all three are updated
   together
 - second we implicitly update the ctime for various changes
   instead of relying on the ATTR_CTIME flag
 - third we set the timestamps to the current time instead of the
   arguments in the iattr structure in many cases.

This patch makes sure we update it in a consistent way:

 - always transactional
 - ctime is only updated if ATTR_CTIME is set or we do a size
   update, which is a special case
 - always to the times passed in from the caller instead of the
   current time

The only non-size caller of xfs_setattr that doesn't come from
the VFS is updated to set ATTR_CTIME and pass in a valid ctime
value.

      xfs: use DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS · ea9a4888
      Christoph Hellwig authored 
      Using DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS allows us to to use trace event code
instead of duplicating it in the binary.  This was not available
before 2.6.33 so it had to be done as a separate step once the
prerequisite was merged.

This only requires changes to xfs_trace.h and the results are
rather impressive:
