It's possible for pagecache writeback to split up a large amount of work
into smaller pieces for throttling purposes or to reduce the amount of
time a writeback operation is pending. Whatever the reason, XFS can end
up with a bunch of IO completions that call for the same operation to be
performed on a contiguous extent mapping. Since mappings are extent
based in XFS, we'd prefer to run fewer transactions when we can.
When we're processing an ioend on the list of io completions, check to
see if the next items on the list are both adjacent and of the same
type. If so, we can merge the completions to reduce transaction
overhead.
On fast storage this doesn't seem to make much of a difference in
performance, though the number of transactions for an overnight xfstests
run seems to drop by ~5%.

When scheduling writeback of dirty file data in the page cache, XFS uses
IO completion workqueue items to ensure that filesystem metadata only
updates after the write completes successfully. This is essential for
converting unwritten extents to real extents at the right time and
performing COW remappings.
Unfortunately, XFS queues each IO completion work item to an unbounded
workqueue, which means that the kernel can spawn dozens of threads to
try to handle the items quickly. These threads need to take the ILOCK
to update file metadata, which results in heavy ILOCK contention if a
large number of the work items target a single file, which is
inefficient.
Worse yet, the writeback completion threads get stuck waiting for the
ILOCK while holding transaction reservations, which can use up all
available log reservation space. When that happens, metadata updates to
other parts of the filesystem grind to a halt, even if the filesystem
could otherwise have handled it.
Even worse, if one of the things grinding to a halt happens to be a
thread in the middle of a defer-ops finish holding the same ILOCK and
trying to obtain more log reservation having exhausted the permanent
reservation, we now have an ABBA deadlock - writeback completion has a
transaction reserved and wants the ILOCK, and someone else has the ILOCK
and wants a transaction reservation.
Therefore, we create a per-inode writeback io completion queue + work
item. When writeback finishes, it can add the ioend to the per-inode
queue and let the single worker item process that queue. This
dramatically cuts down on the number of kworkers and ILOCK contention in
the system, and seems to have eliminated an occasional deadlock I was
seeing while running generic/476.
Testing with a program that simulates a heavy random-write workload to a
single file demonstrates that the number of kworkers drops from
approximately 120 threads per file to 1, without dramatically changing
write bandwidth or pagecache access latency.
Note that we leave the xfs-conv workqueue's max_active alone because we
still want to be able to run ioend processing for as many inodes as the
system can handle.

Add a mode where XFS never overwrites existing blocks in place. This
is to aid debugging our COW code, and also put infatructure in place
for things like possible future support for zoned block devices, which
can't support overwrites.
This mode is enabled globally by doing a:
echo 1 > /sys/fs/xfs/debug/always_cow
Note that the parameter is global to allow running all tests in xfstests
easily in this mode, which would not easily be possible with a per-fs
sysfs file.
In always_cow mode persistent preallocations are disabled, and fallocate
will fail when called with a 0 mode (with our without
FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE), and not create unwritten extent for zeroed space
when called with FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE or FALLOC_FL_UNSHARE_RANGE.
There are a few interesting xfstests failures when run in always_cow
mode:
- generic/392 fails because the bytes used in the file used to test
hole punch recovery are less after the log replay. This is
because the blocks written and then punched out are only freed
with a delay due to the logging mechanism.
- xfs/170 will fail as the already fragile file streams mechanism
doesn't seem to interact well with the COW allocator
- xfs/180 xfs/182 xfs/192 xfs/198 xfs/204 and xfs/208 will claim
the file system is badly fragmented, but there is not much we
can do to avoid that when always writing out of place
- xfs/205 fails because overwriting a file in always_cow mode
will require new space allocation and the assumption in the
test thus don't work anymore.
- xfs/326 fails to modify the file at all in always_cow mode after
injecting the refcount error, leading to an unexpected md5sum
after the remount, but that again is expected

The writeback code caches the current extent mapping across multiple
xfs_do_writepage() calls to avoid repeated lookups for sequential
pages backed by the same extent. This is known to be slightly racy
with extent fork changes in certain difficult to reproduce
scenarios. The cached extent is trimmed to within EOF to help avoid
the most common vector for this problem via speculative
preallocation management, but this is a band-aid that does not
address the fundamental problem.
Now that we have an xfs_ifork sequence counter mechanism used to
facilitate COW writeback, we can use the same mechanism to validate
consistency between the data fork and cached writeback mappings. On
its face, this is somewhat of a big hammer approach because any
change to the data fork invalidates any mapping currently cached by
a writeback in progress regardless of whether the data fork change
overlaps with the range under writeback. In practice, however, the
impact of this approach is minimal in most cases.
First, data fork changes (delayed allocations) caused by sustained
sequential buffered writes are amortized across speculative
preallocations. This means that a cached mapping won't be
invalidated by each buffered write of a common file copy workload,
but rather only on less frequent allocation events. Second, the
extent tree is always entirely in-core so an additional lookup of a
usable extent mostly costs a shared ilock cycle and in-memory tree
lookup. This means that a cached mapping reval is relatively cheap
compared to the I/O itself. Third, spurious invalidations don't
impact ioend construction. This means that even if the same extent
is revalidated multiple times across multiple writepage instances,
we still construct and submit the same size ioend (and bio) if the
blocks are physically contiguous.
Update struct xfs_writepage_ctx with a new field to hold the
sequence number of the data fork associated with the currently
cached mapping. Check the wpc seqno against the data fork when the
mapping is validated and reestablish the mapping whenever the fork
has changed since the mapping was cached. This ensures that
writeback always uses a valid extent mapping and thus prevents lost
writebacks and stale delalloc block problems.

The cached writeback mapping is EOF trimmed to try and avoid races
between post-eof block management and writeback that result in
sending cached data to a stale location. The cached mapping is
currently trimmed on the validation check, which leaves a race
window between the time the mapping is cached and when it is trimmed
against the current inode size.
For example, if a new mapping is cached by delalloc conversion on a
blocksize == page size fs, we could cycle various locks, perform
memory allocations, etc. in the writeback codepath before the
associated mapping is eventually trimmed to i_size. This leaves
enough time for a post-eof truncate and file append before the
cached mapping is trimmed. The former event essentially invalidates
a range of the cached mapping and the latter bumps the inode size
such the trim on the next writepage event won't trim all of the
invalid blocks. fstest generic/464 reproduces this scenario
occasionally and causes a lost writeback and stale delalloc blocks
warning on inode inactivation.
To work around this problem, trim the cached writeback mapping as
soon as it is cached in addition to on subsequent validation checks.
This is a minor tweak to tighten the race window as much as possible
until a proper invalidation mechanism is available.

xfs_writepage_map() iterates over the bufferheads on a page to decide
what sort of IO to do and what actions to take. However, when it comes
to reflink and deciding when it needs to execute a COW operation, we no
longer look at the bufferhead state but instead we ignore than and look
up internal state held in the COW fork extent list.
This means xfs_writepage_map() is somewhat confused. It does stuff, then
ignores it, then tries to handle the impedence mismatch by shovelling the
results inside the existing mapping code. It works, but it's a bit of a
mess and it makes it hard to fix the cached map bug that the writepage
code currently has.
To unify the two different mechanisms, we first have to choose a direction.
That's already been set - we're de-emphasising bufferheads so they are no
longer a control structure as we need to do taht to allow for eventual
removal. Hence we need to move away from looking at bufferhead state to
determine what operations we need to perform.
We can't completely get rid of bufferheads yet - they do contain some
state that is absolutely necessary, such as whether that part of the page
contains valid data or not (buffer_uptodate()). Other state in the
bufferhead is redundant:
BH_dirty - the page is dirty, so we can ignore this and just
write it
BH_delay - we have delalloc extent info in the DATA fork extent
tree
BH_unwritten - same as BH_delay
BH_mapped - indicates we've already used it once for IO and it is
mapped to a disk address. Needs to be ignored for COW
blocks.
The BH_mapped flag is an interesting case - it's supposed to indicate that
it's already mapped to disk and so we can just use it "as is". In theory,
we don't even have to do an extent lookup to find where to write it too,
but we have to do that anyway to determine we are actually writing over a
valid extent. Hence it's not even serving the purpose of avoiding a an
extent lookup during writeback, and so we can pretty much ignore it.
Especially as we have to ignore it for COW operations...
Therefore, use the extent map as the source of information to tell us
what actions we need to take and what sort of IO we should perform. The
first step is to have xfs_map_blocks() set the io type according to what
it looks up. This means it can easily handle both normal overwrite and
COW cases. The only thing we also need to add is the ability to return
hole mappings.
We need to return and cache hole mappings now for the case of multiple
blocks per page. We no longer use the BH_mapped to indicate a block over
a hole, so we have to get that info from xfs_map_blocks(). We cache it so
that holes that span two pages don't need separate lookups. This allows us
to avoid ever doing write IO over a hole, too.
Now that we have xfs_map_blocks() returning both a cached map and the type
of IO we need to perform, we can rewrite xfs_writepage_map() to drop all
the bufferhead control. It's also much simplified because it doesn't need
to explicitly handle COW operations. Instead of iterating bufferheads, it
iterates blocks within the page and then looks up what per-block state is
required from the appropriate bufferhead. It then validates the cached
map, and if it's not valid, we get a new map. If we don't get a valid map
or it's over a hole, we skip the block.
At this point, we have to remap the bufferhead via xfs_map_at_offset().
As previously noted, we had to do this even if the buffer was already
mapped as the mapping would be stale for XFS_IO_DELALLOC, XFS_IO_UNWRITTEN
and XFS_IO_COW IO types. With xfs_map_blocks() now controlling the type,
even XFS_IO_OVERWRITE types need remapping, as converted-but-not-yet-
written delalloc extents beyond EOF can be reported at XFS_IO_OVERWRITE.
Bufferheads that span such regions still need their BH_Delay flags cleared
and their block numbers calculated, so we now unconditionally map each
bufferhead before submission.
But wait! There's more - remember the old "treat unwritten extents as
holes on read" hack? Yeah, that means we can have a dirty page with
unmapped, unwritten bufferheads that contain data! What makes these so
special is that the unwritten "hole" bufferheads do not have a valid block
device pointer, so if we attempt to write them xfs_add_to_ioend() blows
up. So we make xfs_map_at_offset() do the "realtime or data device"
lookup from the inode and ignore what was or wasn't put into the
bufferhead when the buffer was instantiated.
The astute reader will have realised by now that this code treats
unwritten extents in multiple-blocks-per-page situations differently.
If we get any combination of unwritten blocks on a dirty page that contain
valid data in the page, we're going to convert them to real extents. This
can actually be a win, because it means that pages with interleaving
unwritten and written blocks will get converted to a single written extent
with zeros replacing the interspersed unwritten blocks. This is actually
good for reducing extent list and conversion overhead, and it means we
issue a contiguous IO instead of lots of little ones. The downside is
that we use up a little extra IO bandwidth. Neither of these seem like a
bad thing given that spinning disks are seek sensitive, and SSDs/pmem have
bandwidth to burn and the lower Io latency/CPU overhead of fewer, larger
IOs will result in better performance on them...
As a result of all this, the only state we actually care about from the
bufferhead is a single flag - BH_Uptodate. We still use the bufferhead to
pass some information to the bio via xfs_add_to_ioend(), but that is
trivial to separate and pass explicitly. This means we really only need
1 bit of state per block per page from the buffered write path in the
writeback path. Everything else we do with the bufferhead is purely to
make the buffered IO front end continue to work correctly. i.e we've
pretty much marginalised bufferheads in the writeback path completely.

We can handle the existing cow mapping case as a special case directly
in xfs_writepage_map, and share code for allocating delalloc blocks
with regular I/O in xfs_map_blocks. This means we need to always
call xfs_map_blocks for reflink inodes, but we can still skip most of
the work if it turns out that there is no COW mapping overlapping the
current block.
As a subtle detail we need to start caching holes in the wpc to deal
with the case of COW reservations between EOF. But we'll need that
infrastructure later anyway, so this is no big deal.

xfs_reflink_convert_cow() manipulates the incore extent list
in GFP_KERNEL context in the IO submission path whilst holding
locked pages under writeback. This is a memory reclaim deadlock
vector. This code is not in a transaction, so any memory allocations
it makes aren't protected via the memalloc_nofs_save() context that
transactions carry.
Hence we need to run this call under memalloc_nofs_save() context to
prevent potential memory allocations from being run as GFP_KERNEL
and deadlocking.

Merge tag 'libnvdimm-for-4.17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm
Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
"This cycle was was not something I ever want to repeat as there were
several late changes that have only now just settled.
Half of the branch up to commit d2c997c0f1 ("fs, dax: use
page->mapping to warn...") have been in -next for several releases.
The of_pmem driver and the address range scrub rework were late
arrivals, and the dax work was scaled back at the last moment.
The of_pmem driver missed a previous merge window due to an oversight.
A sense of obligation to rectify that miss is why it is included for
4.17. It has acks from PowerPC folks. Stephen reported a build failure
that only occurs when merging it with your latest tree, for now I have
fixed that up by disabling modular builds of of_pmem. A test merge
with your tree has received a build success report from the 0day robot
over 156 configs.
An initial version of the ARS rework was submitted before the merge
window. It is self contained to libnvdimm, a net code reduction, and
passing all unit tests.
The filesystem-dax changes are based on the wait_var_event()
functionality from tip/sched/core. However, late review feedback
showed that those changes regressed truncate performance to a large
degree. The branch was rewound to drop the truncate behavior change
and now only includes preparation patches and cleanups (with full acks
and reviews). The finalization of this dax-dma-vs-trnucate work will
need to wait for 4.18.

of unmap operations (truncate / hole punch) colliding with
in-progress device-DMA. A fix for these collisions remains a
work-in-progress pending resolution of truncate latency and
starvation regressions.
- The of_pmem driver expands the users of libnvdimm outside of x86
and ACPI to describe an implementation of persistent memory on
PowerPC with Open Firmware / Device tree.
- Address Range Scrub (ARS) handling is completely rewritten to
account for the fact that ARS may run for 100s of seconds and there
is no platform defined way to cancel it. ARS will now no longer
block namespace initialization.
- The NVDIMM Namespace Label implementation is updated to handle
label areas as small as 1K, down from 128K.
- Miscellaneous cleanups and updates to unit test infrastructure"
