44d814ced4 [XFS] Update c/mtime correctly on truncates
XFS changes the c/mtime of an inode when truncating it to the same size.
The c/mtime is only supposed to change if the size is changed. Not to be
confused with ftruncate, where the c/mtime is supposed to be changed even
if the size is not changed.

The Linux VFS encodes this semantic difference in the flags it sends down
to ->setattr, which XFS currently ignores. We need to make XFS pay
attention to the VFS flags and hence Do The Right Thing.

43973964a3 [XFS] kill xfs_get_dir_entry
Instead of of xfs_get_dir_entry use a macro to get the xfs_inode from the
dentry in the callers and grab the reference manually.

Only grab the reference once as it's fine to keep it over the dmapi calls.
(And even that reference is actually superflous in Linux but I'll leave
that for another patch)

a3f74ffb6d [XFS] Don't block pdflush when writing back inodes
When pdflush is writing back inodes, it can get stuck on inode cluster
buffers that are currently under I/O. This occurs when we write data to
multiple inodes in the same inode cluster at the same time.

Effectively, delayed allocation marks the inode dirty during the data
writeback. Hence if the inode cluster was flushed during the writeback of
the first inode, the writeback of the second inode will block waiting for
the inode cluster write to complete before writing it again for the newly
dirtied inode.

Basically, we want to avoid this from happening so we don't block pdflush
and slow down all of writeback. Hence we introduce a non-blocking async
inode flush flag that pdflush uses. If this flag is set, we use
non-blocking operations (e.g. try locks) whereever we can to avoid
blocking or extra I/O being issued.

461aa8a225 [XFS] make inode reclaim synchronise with xfs_iflush_done()
On a forced shutdown, xfs_finish_reclaim() will skip flushing the inode.
If the inode flush lock is not already held and there is an outstanding
xfs_iflush_done() then we might free the inode prematurely. By acquiring
and releasing the flush lock we will synchronise with xfs_iflush_done().

whether we have an inline or out of line sumlink, but we can replace that
with a check of the XFS_IFINLINE inode flag.

71ddabb94a [XFS] optimize XFS_IS_REALTIME_INODE w/o realtime config
Use XFS_IS_REALTIME_INODE in more places, and #define it to 0 if
CONFIG_XFS_RT is off. This should be safe because mount checks in
xfs_rtmount_init:

so if we get mounted w/o CONFIG_XFS_RT, no realtime inodes should be
encountered after that.

Defining XFS_IS_REALTIME_INODE to 0 saves a bit of stack space,
presumeably gcc can optimize around the various "if (0)" type checks:

xfs_alloc_file_space -8 xfs_bmap_adjacent -16 xfs_bmapi -8
xfs_bmap_rtalloc -16 xfs_bunmapi -28 xfs_free_file_space -64 xfs_imap +8
<-- ? hmm. xfs_iomap_write_direct -12 xfs_qm_dqusage_adjust -4
xfs_qm_vop_chown_reserve -4

da353b0d64 [XFS] Radix tree based inode caching
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....

051e7cd44a [XFS] use filldir internally
Currently xfs has a rather complicated internal scheme to allow for
different directory formats in IRIX. This patch rips all code related to
this out and pushes useage of the Linux filldir callback into the lowlevel
directory code. This does not make the code any less portable because
filldir can be used to create dirents of all possible variations
(including the IRIX ones as proved by the IRIX binary emulation code under
arch/mips/).

This patch get rid of an unessecary copy in the readdir path, about 400
lines of code and one of the last two users of the uio structure.

This version is updated to deal with dmapi aswell which greatly simplifies
the get_dirattrs code. The dmapi part has been tested using the
get_dirattrs tools from the xfstest dmapi suite1 with various small and
large directories.

c32676eea1 [XFS] Fix inode size update before data write in xfs_setattr
When changing the file size by a truncate() call, we log the change in the
inode size. However, we do not flush any outstanding data that might not
have been written to disk, thereby violating the data/inode size update
order. This can leave files full of NULLs on crash.

Hence if we are truncating the file, flush any unwritten data that may lie
between the curret on disk inode size and the new inode size that is being
logged to ensure that ordering is preserved.

2a82b8be8a [XFS] Concurrent Multi-File Data Streams
In media spaces, video is often stored in a frame-per-file format. When
dealing with uncompressed realtime HD video streams in this format, it is
crucial that files do not get fragmented and that multiple files a placed
contiguously on disk.

When multiple streams are being ingested and played out at the same time,
it is critical that the filesystem does not cross the streams and
interleave them together as this creates seek and readahead cache miss
latency and prevents both ingest and playout from meeting frame rate
targets.

This patch set creates a "stream of files" concept into the allocator to
place all the data from a single stream contiguously on disk so that RAID
array readahead can be used effectively. Each additional stream gets
placed in different allocation groups within the filesystem, thereby
ensuring that we don't cross any streams. When an AG fills up, we select a
new AG for the stream that is not in use.

The core of the functionality is the stream tracking - each inode that we
create in a directory needs to be associated with the directories' stream.
Hence every time we create a file, we look up the directories' stream
object and associate the new file with that object.

Once we have a stream object for a file, we use the AG that the stream
object point to for allocations. If we can't allocate in that AG (e.g. it
is full) we move the entire stream to another AG. Other inodes in the same
stream are moved to the new AG on their next allocation (i.e. lazy
update).

Stream objects are kept in a cache and hold a reference on the inode.
Hence the inode cannot be reclaimed while there is an outstanding stream
reference. This means that on unlink we need to remove the stream
association and we also need to flush all the associations on certain
events that want to reclaim all unreferenced inodes (e.g. filesystem
freeze).

fbf3ce8d8e [XFS] XFS should not be looking at filp reference counts
A check for file_count is always a bad idea. Linux has the ->release
method to deal with cleanups on last close and ->flush is only for the
very rare case where we want to perform an operation on every drop of a
reference to a file struct.

This patch gets rid of vop_close and surrounding code in favour of simply
doing the page flushing from ->release.

92dfe8d266 [XFS] Make hole punching at EOF atomic.
If hole punching at EOF is done as two steps (i.e. truncate then extend)
the file is in a transient state between the two steps where an
application can see the incorrect file size. Punching a hole to EOF needs
to be treated in teh same way as all other hole punching cases so that the
file size is never seen to change.

ba87ea699e [XFS] Fix to prevent the notorious 'NULL files' problem after a crash.
The problem that has been addressed is that of synchronising updates of
the file size with writes that extend a file. Without the fix the update
of a file's size, as a result of a write beyond eof, is independent of
when the cached data is flushed to disk. Often the file size update would
be written to the filesystem log before the data is flushed to disk. When
a system crashes between these two events and the filesystem log is
replayed on mount the file's size will be set but since the contents never
made it to disk the file is full of holes. If some of the cached data was
flushed to disk then it may just be a section of the file at the end that
has holes.

There are existing fixes to help alleviate this problem, particularly in
the case where a file has been truncated, that force cached data to be
flushed to disk when the file is closed. If the system crashes while the
file(s) are still open then this flushing will never occur.

The fix that we have implemented is to introduce a second file size,
called the in-memory file size, that represents the current file size as
viewed by the user. The existing file size, called the on-disk file size,
is the one that get's written to the filesystem log and we only update it
when it is safe to do so. When we write to a file beyond eof we only
update the in- memory file size in the write operation. Later when the I/O
operation, that flushes the cached data to disk completes, an I/O
completion routine will update the on-disk file size. The on-disk file
size will be updated to the maximum offset of the I/O or to the value of
the in-memory file size if the I/O includes eof.

d3cf209476 [XFS] propogate return codes from flush routines
This patch handles error return values in fs_flush_pages and
fs_flushinval_pages. It changes the prototype of fs_flushinval_pages so we
can propogate the errors and handle them at higher layers. I also modified
xfs_itruncate_start so that it could propogate the error further.
