Create a simple 'big array' data structure for storage of fixed-size
metadata records that will be used to reconstruct a btree index. For
repair operations, the most important operations are append, iterate,
and sort.
Earlier implementations of the big array used linked lists and suffered
from severe problems -- pinning all records in kernel memory was not a
good idea and frequently lead to OOM situations; random access was very
inefficient; and record overhead for the lists was unacceptably high at
40-60%.
Therefore, the big memory array relies on the 'xfile' abstraction, which
creates a memfd file and stores the records in page cache pages. Since
the memfd is created in tmpfs, the memory pages can be pushed out to
disk if necessary and we have a built-in usage limit of 50% of physical
memory.

We need to log EFIs for every extent that we allocate for the purpose of
staging a new btree so that if we fail then the blocks will be freed
during log recovery. Add a function to relog the EFIs, so that repair
can relog them all every time it creates a new btree block, which will
help us to avoid pinning the log tail.

Convert the xbitmap code to use interval trees instead of linked lists.
This reduces the amount of coding required to handle the disunion
operation and in the future will make it easier to set bits in arbitrary
order yet later be able to extract maximally sized extents, which we'll
need for rebuilding certain structures. We define our own interval tree
type so that it can deal with 64-bit indices even on 32-bit machines.

It's not safe to edit bitmap intervals while we're iterating them with

Remove the for_each_xbitmap_ macros in favor of proper iterator

Use deferred frees (EFIs) to reap the blocks of a btree that we just
replaced. This helps us to shrink the window in which those old blocks
could be lost due to a system crash, though we try to flush the EFIs
every few hundred blocks so that we don't also overflow the transaction
reservations during and after we commit the new btree.

Before to the introduction of deferred refcount operations, reflink
would try to cram refcount btree updates into the same transaction as an
allocation or a free event. Mainline XFS has never actually done that,
but we never refactored the transaction reservations to reflect that we
now do all refcount updates in separate transactions. Fix this to
reduce the transaction reservation size even farther, so that between
this patch and the previous one, we reduce the tr_write and tr_itruncate
sizes by 66%.

Back in the early days of reflink and rmap development I set the
transaction reservation sizes to be overly generous for rmap+reflink
filesystems, and a little under-generous for rmap-only filesystems.
Since we don't need *eight* transaction rolls to handle three new log
intent items, decrease the logcounts to what we actually need, and amend
the shadow reservation computation function to reflect what we used to
do so that the minimum log size doesn't change.
Signed-off-by: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@kernel.org>

Every time someone changes the transaction reservation sizes, they
introduce potential compatibility problems if the changes affect the
minimum log size that we validate at mount time. If the minimum log
size gets larger (which should be avoided because doing so presents a
serious risk of log livelock), filesystems created with old mkfs will
not mount on a newer kernel; if the minimum size shrinks, filesystems
created with newer mkfs will not mount on older kernels.
Therefore, enable the creation of a shadow log reservation structure
where we can "undo" the effects of tweaks when computing minimum log
sizes. These shadow reservations should never be used in practice, but
they insulate us from perturbations in minimum log size.

In commit e1a4e37cc7b6, we clamped the length of bunmapi calls on the
data forks of shared files to avoid two failure scenarios: one where the
extent being unmapped is so sparsely shared that we exceed the
transaction reservation with the sheer number of refcount btree updates
and EFI intent items; and the other where we attach so many deferred
updates to the transaction that we pin the log tail and later the log
head meets the tail, causing the log to livelock.
We avoid triggering the first problem by tracking the number of ops in
the refcount btree cursor and forcing a requeue of the refcount intent
item any time we think that we might be close to overflowing. This has
been baked into XFS since before the original e1a4 patch.
A recent patchset fixed the second problem by changing the deferred ops
code to finish all the work items created by each round of trying to
complete a refcount intent item, which eliminates the long chains of
deferred items (27dad); and causing long-running transactions to relog
their intent log items when space in the log gets low (74f4d).
Because this clamp affects /any/ unmapping request regardless of the
sharing factors of the component blocks, it degrades the performance of
all large unmapping requests -- whereas with an unshared file we can
unmap millions of blocks in one go, shared files are limited to
unmapping a few thousand blocks at a time, which causes the upper level
code to spin in a bunmapi loop even if it wasn't needed.
This also eliminates one more place where log recovery behavior can
differ from online behavior, because bunmapi operations no longer need
to requeue.

When scrub is checking file fork mappings against rmap records and
the rmap record starts before or ends after the bmap record, check the
adjacent bmap records to make sure that they're adjacent to the one
we're checking. This helps us to detect cases where the rmaps cover
territory that the bmaps do not.

The current implementation of xfs_btree_has_record returns true if it
finds /any/ record within the given range. Unfortunately, that's not
what the predicate is supposed to do -- it's supposed to test if the
/entire/ range is covered by records.
Therefore, enhance the routine to check that the first record it
encounters starts earlier or at the same point as the low key, the last
record ends at or after the same point as the high key, and that there
aren't any gaps in the records.

Keys for extent interval records in the reverse mapping btree are
supposed to be computed as follows:
(physical block, owner, fork, is_btree, offset)
This provides users the ability to look up a reverse mapping from a file
block mapping record -- start with the physical block; then if there are
multiple records for the same block, move on to the owner; then the
inode fork type; and so on to the file offset.
However, the key comparison functions incorrectly remove the fork/bmbt
information that's encoded in the on-disk offset. This means that
lookup comparisons are only done with:
(physical block, owner, offset)
This means that queries can return incorrect results. On consistent
filesystems this isn't an issue because bmbt blocks and blocks mapped to
an attr fork cannot be shared, but this prevents us from detecting
incorrect fork and bmbt flag bits in the rmap btree.
A previous version of this patch forgot to keep the (un)written state
flag masked during the comparison and caused a major regression in
5.9.x since unwritten extent conversion can update an rmap record
without requiring key updates.
Note that blocks cannot go directly from data fork to attr fork without
being deallocated and reallocated, nor can they be added to or removed
from a bmbt without a free/alloc cycle, so this should not cause any
regressions.
Found by fuzzing keys[1].attrfork = ones on xfs/371.

While running a new fstest that races a readonly remount with scrub
running in repair mode, I observed the kernel tripping over debugging
assertions in the log quiesce code that were checking that the CIL was
empty. When the sysadmin runs scrub in repair mode, the scrub code
allocates real transactions (with reservations) to change things, but
doesn't increment the superblock writers count to block a readonly
remount attempt while it is running.
We don't require the userspace caller to have a writable file descriptor
to run repairs, so we have to call mnt_want_write_file to obtain freeze
protection and increment the writers count. It's ok to remove the call
to sb_start_write for the dry-run case because commit 8321ddb2fa29
removed the behavior where scrub and fsfreeze fight over the buffer LRU.
Signed-off-by: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@kernel.org>

A recent log refactoring patchset from Brian Foster relaxed fsfreeze
behavior with regards to the buffer cache -- now freeze only waits for
pending buffer IO to finish, and does not try to drain the buffer cache
LRU. As a result, fsfreeze should no longer stall indefinitely while
fsmap runs. Drop the sb_start_write calls around fsmap invocations.
While we're cleaning things, add a comment to the xfs_trans_alloc_empty
call explaining why we're running around with empty transactions.

MSG_WAITALL
Without that it's not safe to use them in a linked combination with
others.
Now combinations like IORING_OP_SENDMSG followed by IORING_OP_SPLICE
should be possible.
We already handle short reads and writes for the following opcodes:
- IORING_OP_READV
- IORING_OP_READ_FIXED
- IORING_OP_READ
- IORING_OP_WRITEV
- IORING_OP_WRITE_FIXED
- IORING_OP_WRITE
- IORING_OP_SPLICE
- IORING_OP_TEE
Now we have it for these as well:
- IORING_OP_SENDMSG
- IORING_OP_SEND
- IORING_OP_RECVMSG
- IORING_OP_RECV
For IORING_OP_RECVMSG we also check for the MSG_TRUNC and MSG_CTRUNC
flags in order to call req_set_fail_links().
There might be applications arround depending on the behavior
that even short send[msg]()/recv[msg]() retuns continue an
IOSQE_IO_LINK chain.
It's very unlikely that such applications pass in MSG_WAITALL,
which is only defined in 'man 2 recvmsg', but not in 'man 2 sendmsg'.
It's expected that the low level sock_sendmsg() call just ignores
MSG_WAITALL, as MSG_ZEROCOPY is also ignored without explicitly set
SO_ZEROCOPY.
We also expect the caller to know about the implicit truncation to
MAX_RW_COUNT, which we don't detect.
