Checking the EFI for whether it is being released from recovery
after we've already released the known active reference is a mistake
worthy of a brown paper bag. Fix the (now) obvious use after free
that it can cause.

Filesystems are occasionally being shut down with this error:
xfs_trans_ail_delete_bulk: attempting to delete a log item that is
not in the AIL.
It was diagnosed to be related to the EFI/EFD commit order when the
EFI and EFD are in different checkpoints and the EFD is committed
before the EFI here:
http://oss.sgi.com/archives/xfs/2013-01/msg00082.html
The real problem is that a single bit cannot fully describe the
states that the EFI/EFD processing can be in. These completion
states are:
EFI EFI in AIL EFD Result
committed/unpinned Yes committed OK
committed/pinned No committed Shutdown
uncommitted No committed Shutdown
Note that the "result" field is what should happen, not what does
happen. The current logic is broken and handles the first two cases
correctly by luck. That is, the code will free the EFI if the
XFS_EFI_COMMITTED bit is *not* set, rather than if it is set. The
inverted logic "works" because if both EFI and EFD are committed,
then the first __xfs_efi_release() call clears the XFS_EFI_COMMITTED
bit, and the second frees the EFI item. Hence as long as
xfs_efi_item_committed() has been called, everything appears to be
fine.
It is the third case where the logic fails - where
xfs_efd_item_committed() is called before xfs_efi_item_committed(),
and that results in the EFI being freed before it has been
committed. That is the bug that triggered the shutdown, and hence
keeping track of whether the EFI has been committed or not is
insufficient to correctly order the EFI/EFD operations w.r.t. the
AIL.
What we really want is this: the EFI is always placed into the
AIL before the last reference goes away. The only way to guarantee
that is that the EFI is not freed until after it has been unpinned
*and* the EFD has been committed. That is, restructure the logic so
that the only case that can occur is the first case.
This can be done easily by replacing the XFS_EFI_COMMITTED with an
EFI reference count. The EFI is initialised with it's own count, and
that is not released until it is unpinned. However, there is a
complication to this method - the high level EFI/EFD code in
xfs_bmap_finish() does not hold direct references to the EFI
structure, and runs a transaction commit between the EFI and EFD
processing. Hence the EFI can be freed even before the EFD is
created using such a method.
Further, log recovery uses the AIL for tracking EFI/EFDs that need
to be recovered, but it uses the AIL *differently* to the EFI
transaction commit. Hence log recovery never pins or unpins EFIs, so
we can't drop the EFI reference count indirectly to free the EFI.
However, this doesn't prevent us from using a reference count here.
There is a 1:1 relationship between EFIs and EFDs, so when we
initialise the EFI we can take a reference count for the EFD as
well. This solves the xfs_bmap_finish() issue - the EFI will never
be freed until the EFD is processed. In terms of log recovery,
during the committing of the EFD we can look for the
XFS_EFI_RECOVERED bit being set and drop the EFI reference as well,
thereby ensuring everything works correctly there as well.

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 ]

The cause of the leak is that the "remove" parameter of IOP_UNPIN()
is never set when a CIL push is aborted. This means that the EFI
item is never freed if it was in the push being cancelled. The
problem is specific to delayed logging, but has uncovered a couple
of problems with the handling of IOP_UNPIN(remove).
Firstly, we cannot safely call xfs_trans_del_item() from IOP_UNPIN()
in the CIL commit failure path or the iclog write failure path
because for delayed loging we have no transaction context. Hence we
must only call xfs_trans_del_item() if the log item being unpinned
has an active log item descriptor.
Secondly, xfs_trans_uncommit() does not handle log item descriptor
freeing during the traversal of log items on a transaction. It can
reference a freed log item descriptor when unpinning an EFI item.
Hence it needs to use a safe list traversal method to allow items to
be removed from the transaction during IOP_UNPIN().

EFI/EFD interactions are protected from races by the AIL lock. They
are the only type of log items that require the the AIL lock to
serialise internal state, so they need to be separated from the AIL
lock before we can do bulk insert operations on the AIL.
To acheive this, convert the counter of the number of extents in the
EFI to an atomic so it can be safely manipulated by EFD processing
without locks. Also, convert the EFI state flag manipulations to use
atomic bit operations so no locks are needed to record state
changes. Finally, use the state bits to determine when it is safe to
free the EFI and clean up the code to do this neatly.

XFS_EFI_CANCELED has not been set in the code base since
xfs_efi_cancel() was removed back in 2006 by commit
065d312e15902976d256ddaf396a7950ec0350a8 ("[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.

Currently we track log item descriptor belonging to a transaction using a
complex opencoded chunk allocator. This code has been there since day one
and seems to work around the lack of an efficient slab allocator.
This patch replaces it with dynamically allocated log item descriptors
from a dedicated slab pool, linked to the transaction by a linked list.
This allows to greatly simplify the log item descriptor tracking to the
point where it's just a couple hundred lines in xfs_trans.c instead of
a separate file. The external API has also been simplified while we're
at it - the xfs_trans_add_item and xfs_trans_del_item functions to add/
delete items from a transaction have been simplified to the bare minium,
and the xfs_trans_find_item function is replaced with a direct dereference
of the li_desc field. All debug code walking the list of log items in
a transaction is down to a simple list_for_each_entry.
Note that we could easily use a singly linked list here instead of the
double linked list from list.h as the fastpath only does deletion from
sequential traversal. But given that we don't have one available as
a library function yet I use the list.h functions for simplicity.

bloating XFS for it, all over the fast pathes of the filesystem.
This patch drops over 700 lines of dmapi overhead. If we'll ever get HSM

in the VFS instead of the individual filesystem, so it's not like this
is much help for future work.

The staleness of a object being unpinned can be directly derived
from the object itself - there is no need to extract it from the
object then pass it as a parameter into IOP_UNPIN().
This means we can kill the XFS_LID_BUF_STALE flag - it is set,
checked and cleared in the same places XFS_BLI_STALE flag in the
xfs_buf_log_item so it is now redundant and hence safe to remove.

Change all the remaining AIL API functions that are passed struct
xfs_mount pointers to pass pointers directly to the struct xfs_ail being
used. With this conversion, all external access to the AIL is via the
struct xfs_ail. Hence the operation and referencing of the AIL is almost
entirely independent of the xfs_mount that is using it - it is now much
more tightly tied to the log and the items it is tracking in the log than
it is tied to the xfs_mount.

One of the perpetual scaling problems XFS has is indexing it's incore
inodes. We currently uses hashes and the default hash sizes chosen can
only ever be a tradeoff between memory consumption and the maximum
realistic size of the cache.
As a result, anyone who has millions of inodes cached on a filesystem
needs to tunes the size of the cache via the ihashsize mount option to
allow decent scalability with inode cache operations.
A further problem is the separate inode cluster hash, whose size is based
on the ihashsize but is smaller, and so under certain conditions (sparse
cluster cache population) this can become a limitation long before the
inode hash is causing issues.
The following patchset removes the inode hash and cluster hash and
replaces them with radix trees to avoid the scalability limitations of the
hashes. It also reduces the size of the inodes by 3 pointers....
