XFS_IOC_ZERO_RANGE is the equivalent of an atomic XFS_IOC_UNRESVSP/
XFS_IOC_RESVSP call pair. It enabled ranges of written data to be
turned into zeroes without requiring IO or having to free and
reallocate the extents in the range given as would occur if we had
to punch and then preallocate them separately. This enables
applications to zero parts of files very quickly without changing
the layout of the files in any way.

Add WQ_MEM_RECLAIM flag which currently maps to WQ_RESCUER, mark
WQ_RESCUER as internal and replace all external WQ_RESCUER usages to
WQ_MEM_RECLAIM.
This makes the API users express the intent of the workqueue instead
of indicating the internal mechanism used to guarantee forward

WQ_MEM_RECLAIM. For example, if deemed necessary, memory reclaim
workqueues can be made highpri.

When marking an inode reclaimable, a per-AG counter is increased, the
inode is tagged reclaimable in its per-AG tree, and, when this is the
first reclaimable inode in the AG, the AG entry in the per-mount tree
is also tagged.
When an inode is finally reclaimed, however, it is only deleted from
the per-AG tree. Neither the counter is decreased, nor is the parent
tree's AG entry untagged properly.
Since the tags in the per-mount tree are not cleared, the inode
shrinker iterates over all AGs that have had reclaimable inodes at one
point in time.
The counters on the other hand signal an increasing amount of slab
objects to reclaim. Since "70e60ce xfs: convert inode shrinker to
per-filesystem context" this is not a real issue anymore because the
shrinker bails out after one iteration.
But the problem was observable on a machine running v2.6.34, where the
reclaimable work increased and each process going into direct reclaim
eventually got stuck on the xfs inode shrinking path, trying to scan
several million objects.
Fix this by properly unwinding the reclaimable-state tracking of an
inode when it is reclaimed.

I have been seeing occasional pauses in transaction throughput up to
30s long under heavy parallel workloads. The only notable thing was
that the xfsaild was trying to be active during the pauses, but
making no progress. It was running exactly 20 times a second (on the
50ms no-progress backoff), and the number of pushbuf events was
constant across this time as well. IOWs, the xfsaild appeared to be
stuck on buffers that it could not push out.
Further investigation indicated that it was trying to push out inode
buffers that were pinned and/or locked. The xfsbufd was also getting
woken at the same frequency (by the xfsaild, no doubt) to push out
delayed write buffers. The xfsbufd was not making any progress
because all the buffers in the delwri queue were pinned. This scan-
and-make-no-progress dance went one in the trace for some seconds,
before the xfssyncd came along an issued a log force, and then
things started going again.
However, I noticed something strange about the log force - there
were way too many IO's issued. 516 log buffers were written, to be
exact. That added up to 129MB of log IO, which got me very
interested because it's almost exactly 25% of the size of the log.
He delayed logging code is suppose to aggregate the minimum of 25%
of the log or 8MB worth of changes before flushing. That's what
really puzzled me - why did a log force write 129MB instead of only
8MB?
Essentially what has happened is that no CIL pushes had occurred
since the previous tail push which cleared out 25% of the log space.
That caused all the new transactions to block because there wasn't
log space for them, but they kick the xfsaild to push the tail.
However, the xfsaild was not making progress because there were
buffers it could not lock and flush, and the xfsbufd could not flush
them because they were pinned. As a result, both the xfsaild and the
xfsbufd could not move the tail of the log forward without the CIL
first committing.
The cause of the problem was that the background CIL push, which
should happen when 8MB of aggregated changes have been committed, is
being held off by the concurrent transaction commit load. The
background push does a down_write_trylock() which will fail if there
is a concurrent transaction commit holding the push lock in read
mode. With 8 CPUs all doing transactions as fast as they can, there
was enough concurrent transaction commits to hold off the background
push until tail-pushing could no longer free log space, and the halt
would occur.
It should be noted that there is no reason why it would halt at 25%
of log space used by a single CIL checkpoint. This bug could
definitely violate the "no transaction should be larger than half
the log" requirement and hence result in corruption if the system
crashed under heavy load. This sort of bug is exactly the reason why
delayed logging was tagged as experimental....
The fix is to start blocking background pushes once the threshold
has been exceeded. Rework the threshold calculations to keep the
amount of log space a CIL checkpoint can use to below that of the
AIL push threshold to avoid the problem completely.

The workqueue implementation in 2.6.36-rcX has changed, resulting
in the workqueues no longer having dedicated threads for work
processing. This has caused severe livelocks under heavy parallel
create workloads because the log IO completions have been getting
held up behind metadata IO completions. Hence log commits would
stall, memory allocation would stall because pages could not be
cleaned, and lock contention on the AIL during inode IO completion
processing was being seen to slow everything down even further.
By making the log Io completion workqueue a high priority workqueue,
they are queued ahead of all data/metadata IO completions and
processed before the data/metadata completions. Hence the log never
gets stalled, and operations needed to clean memory can continue as
quickly as possible. This avoids the livelock conditions and allos
the system to keep running under heavy load as per normal.

When doing large parallel file creates on a 16p machines, large amounts of

The problem is that the hash contains 45,000 buffers, and the hash table width

searching it is quite expensive. The hash table size needs to increase.
Secondly, every time we do a lookup, we promote the buffer we find to the head
of the hash chain. This is causing cachelines to be dirtied and causes
invalidation of cachelines across all CPUs that may have walked the hash chain
recently. hence every walk of the hash chain is effectively a cold cache walk.
Remove the promotion to avoid this invalidation.

Formatting items requires memory allocation when using delayed
logging. Currently that memory allocation is done while holding the
CIL context lock in read mode. This means that if memory allocation
takes some time (e.g. enters reclaim), we cannot push on the CIL
until the allocation(s) required by formatting complete. This can
stall CIL pushes for some time, and once a push is stalled so are
all new transaction commits.
Fix this splitting the item formatting into two steps. The first
step which does the allocation and memcpy() into the allocated
buffer is now done outside the CIL context lock, and only the CIL
insert is done inside the CIL context lock. This avoids the stall
issue.

Delayed logging adds some serialisation to the log force process to
ensure that it does not deference a bad commit context structure
when determining if a CIL push is necessary or not. It does this by
grabing the CIL context lock exclusively, then dropping it before
pushing the CIL if necessary. This causes serialisation of all log
forces and pushes regardless of whether a force is necessary or not.
As a result fsync heavy workloads (like dbench) can be significantly
slower with delayed logging than without.
To avoid this penalty, copy the current sequence from the context to
the CIL structure when they are swapped. This allows us to do
unlocked checks on the current sequence without having to worry
about dereferencing context structures that may have already been
freed. Hence we can remove the CIL context locking in the forcing
code and only call into the push code if the current context matches
the sequence we need to force.
By passing the sequence into the push code, we can check the
sequence again once we have the CIL lock held exclusive and abort if
the sequence has already been pushed. This avoids a lock round-trip
and unnecessary CIL pushes when we have racing push calls.
The result is that the regression in dbench performance goes away -
this change improves dbench performance on a ramdisk from ~2100MB/s
to ~2500MB/s. This compares favourably to not using delayed logging
which retuns ~2500MB/s for the same workload.

When we need to cover the log, we issue dummy transactions to ensure
the current log tail is on disk. Unfortunately we currently use the
root inode in the dummy transaction, and the act of committing the
transaction dirties the inode at the VFS level.
As a result, the VFS writeback of the dirty inode will prevent the
filesystem from idling long enough for the log covering state
machine to complete. The state machine gets stuck in a loop issuing
new dummy transactions to cover the log and never makes progress.
To avoid this problem, the dummy transactions should not cause
externally visible state changes. To ensure this occurs, make sure
that dummy transactions log an unchanging field in the superblock as
it's state is never propagated outside the filesystem. This allows
the log covering state machine to complete successfully and the
filesystem now correctly enters a fully idle state about 90s after
the last modification was made.

alignment of inodes and hence incorrectly calculated the first inode in the
cluster. As a result, some inode numbers were being incorrectly considered
invalid when they were actually valid.
The issue was not picked up by the xfstests suite because it always runs fsr
and dump (the two utilities that utilise the bulkstat interface) on cache hot
inodes and hence the lookup code in the cold cache path was not sufficiently
exercised to uncover this intermittent problem.
Fix the issue by relaxing the btree lookup criteria and then checking if the
record returned contains the inode number we are lookup for. If it we get an

we free the log items. This breaks stale buffer item unlock and
unpin processing as there is an implicit assumption that the unlock
will occur before the unpin.
Also, some log items need to store the LSN of the transaction commit

more complicated:
- there are three callers of xfs_buf_delwri_queue, which places buffers
on the delwri list:
(1) xfs_bdwrite - this sets up b_strat, so it's fine
(2) xfs_buf_iorequest. None of the callers can have XBF_DELWRI set:
- xlog_bdstrat is only used for log buffers, which are never delwri
- _xfs_buf_read explicitly clears the delwri flag
- xfs_buf_iodone_work retries log buffers only
- xfsbdstrat - only used for reads, superblock writes without the
delwri flag, log I/O and file zeroing with explicitly allocated
buffers.
- xfs_buf_iostrategy - only calls xfs_buf_iorequest if b_strat is
not set
(3) xfs_buf_unlock
- only puts the buffer on the delwri list if the DELWRI flag is
already set. The DELWRI flag is only ever set in xfs_bwrite,
xfs_buf_iodone_callbacks, or xfs_trans_log_buf. For
xfs_buf_iodone_callbacks and xfs_trans_log_buf we require
an initialized buf item, which means b_strat was set to

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.

When the filesystem grows to a large number of allocation groups,
the summing of recalimable inodes gets expensive. In many cases,
most AGs won't have any reclaimable inodes and so we are wasting CPU
time aggregating over these AGs. This is particularly important for
the inode shrinker that gets called frequently under memory
pressure.
To avoid the overhead, track AGs with reclaimable inodes in the
per-ag radix tree so that we can find all the AGs with reclaimable
inodes via a simple gang tag lookup. This involves setting the tag
when the first reclaimable inode is tracked in the AG, and removing
the tag when the last reclaimable inode is removed from the tree.
Then the summation process becomes a loop walking the radix tree
summing AGs with the reclaim tag set.
This significantly reduces the overhead of scanning - a 6400 AG
filesystea now only uses about 25% of a cpu in kswapd while slab
reclaim progresses instead of being permanently stuck at 100% CPU
and making little progress. Clean filesystems filesystems will see
no overhead and the overhead only increases linearly with the number
of dirty AGs.

When we decode a handle or do a bulkstat lookup, we are using an
inode number we cannot trust to be valid. If we are deleting inode
chunks from disk (default noikeep mode), then we cannot trust the on
disk inode buffer for any given inode number to correctly reflect
whether the inode has been unlinked as the di_mode nor the
generation number may have been updated on disk.
This is due to the fact that when we delete an inode chunk, we do
not write the clusters back to disk when they are removed - instead
we mark them stale to avoid them being written back potentially over
the top of something that has been subsequently allocated at that
location. The result is that we can have locations of disk that look
like they contain valid inodes but in reality do not. Hence we
cannot simply convert the inode number to a block number and read
the location from disk to determine if the inode is valid or not.
As a result, and XFS_IGET_BULKSTAT lookup needs to actually look the
inode up in the inode allocation btree to determine if the inode
number is valid or not.
It should be noted even on ikeep filesystems, there is the
possibility that blocks on disk may look like valid inode clusters.
e.g. if there are filesystem images hosted on the filesystem. Hence
even for ikeep filesystems we really need to validate that the inode
number is valid before issuing the inode buffer read.

When an inode cluster is freed, it needs to mark all inodes in memory as
XFS_ISTALE before marking the buffer as stale. This is eeded because the inodes
have a different life cycle to the buffer, and once the buffer is torn down
during transaction completion, we must ensure none of the inodes get written
back (which is what XFS_ISTALE does).
Unfortunately, xfs_ifree_cluster() has some bugs that lead to inodes not being
marked with XFS_ISTALE. This shows up when xfs_iflush() is called on these
inodes either during inode reclaim or tail pushing on the AIL. The buffer is
read back, but no longer contains inodes and so triggers assert failures and
shutdowns. This was reproducable with at run.dbench10 invocation from xfstests.
There are two main causes of xfs_ifree_cluster() failing. The first is simple -
it checks in-memory inodes it finds in the per-ag icache to see if they are
clean without holding the flush lock. if they are clean it skips them
completely. However, If an inode is flushed delwri, it will
appear clean, but is not guaranteed to be written back until the flush lock has
been dropped. Hence we may have raced on the clean check and the inode may
actually be dirty. Hence always mark inodes found in memory stale before we
check properly if they are clean.
The second is more complex, and makes the first problem easier to hit.
Basically the in-memory inode scan is done with full knowledge it can be racing
with inode flushing and AIl tail pushing, which means that inodes that it can't
get the flush lock on might not be attached to the buffer after then in-memory
inode scan due to IO completion occurring. This is actually documented in the
code as "needs better interlocking". i.e. this is a zero-day bug.
Effectively, the in-memory scan must be done while the inode buffer is locked
and Io cannot be issued on it while we do the in-memory inode scan. This
ensures that inodes we couldn't get the flush lock on are guaranteed to be
attached to the cluster buffer, so we can then catch all in-memory inodes and
mark them stale.
Now that the inode cluster buffer is locked before the in-memory scan is done,
there is no need for the two-phase update of the in-memory inodes, so simplify
the code into two loops and remove the allocation of the temporary buffer used
to hold locked inodes across the phases.
