In certain situations the background CIL push can be indefinitely
delayed. While we have workarounds from the obvious cases now, it
doesn't solve the underlying issue. This issue is that there is no
upper limit on the CIL where we will either force or wait for
a background push to start, hence allowing the CIL to grow without
bound until it consumes all log space.
To fix this, add a new wait queue to the CIL which allows background
pushes to wait for the CIL context to be switched out. This happens
when the push starts, so it will allow us to block incoming
transaction commit completion until the push has started. This will
only affect processes that are running modifications, and only when
the CIL threshold has been significantly overrun.
This has no apparent impact on performance, and doesn't even trigger
until over 45 million inodes had been created in a 16-way fsmark
test on a 2GB log. That was limiting at 64MB of log space used, so
the active CIL size is only about 3% of the total log in that case.
The concurrent removal of those files did not trigger the background
sleep at all.

xfs_log_done() does two separate things. Firstly, it triggers commit
records to be written for permanent transactions, and secondly it
releases or regrants transaction reservation space.
Since delayed logging was introduced, transactions no longer write
directly to the log, hence they never have the XLOG_TIC_INITED flag
cleared on them. Hence transactions never write commit records to
the log and only need to modify reservation space.
Split up xfs_log_done into two parts, and only call the parts of the
operation needed for the context xfs_log_done() is currently being
called from.

The xlog_write() function iterates over iclogs until it completes
writing all the log vectors passed in. The ticket tracks whether
a start record has been written or not, so only the first iclog gets
a start record. We only ever pass single use tickets to
xlog_write() so we only ever need to write a start record once per
xlog_write() call.
Hence we don't need to store whether we should write a start record
in the ticket as the callers provide all the information we need to
determine if a start record should be written. For the moment, we
have to ensure that we clear the XLOG_TIC_INITED appropriately so
the code in xfs_log_done() still works correctly for committing
transactions.
(darrick: Note the slight behavior change that we always deduct the
size of the op header from the ticket, even for unmount records)

The iop_unlock method is called when comitting or cancelling a
transaction. In the latter case, the transaction may or may not be
aborted. While there is no known problem with the current code in
practice, this implementation is limited in that any log item
implementation that might want to differentiate between a commit and a
cancellation must rely on the aborted state. The aborted bit is only
set when the cancelled transaction is dirty, however. This means that
there is no way to distinguish between a commit and a clean transaction
cancellation.
For example, intent log items currently rely on this distinction. The
log item is either transferred to the CIL on commit or released on
transaction cancel. There is currently no possibility for a clean intent
log item in a transaction, but if that state is ever introduced a cancel
of such a transaction will immediately result in memory leaks of the
associated log item(s). This is an interface deficiency and landmine.
To clean this up, replace the iop_unlock method with an iop_release
method that is specific to transaction cancel. The existing
iop_committing method occurs at the same time as iop_unlock in the
commit path and there is no need for two separate callbacks here.
Overload the iop_committing method with the current commit time
iop_unlock implementations to eliminate the need for the latter and
further simplify the interface.

XFS shutdown deadlocks have been reproduced by fstest generic/475.
The deadlock signature involves log I/O completion running error
handling to abort logged items and waiting for an inode cluster
buffer lock in the buffer item unpin handler. The buffer lock is
held by xfsaild attempting to flush an inode. The buffer happens to
be pinned and so xfs_iflush() triggers an async log force to begin
work required to get it unpinned. The log force is blocked waiting
on the commit completion, which never occurs and thus leaves the
filesystem deadlocked.
The root problem is that aborted log I/O completion pots commit
completion behind callback completion, which is unexpected for async
log forces. Under normal running conditions, an async log force
returns to the caller once the CIL ctx has been formatted/submitted
and the commit completion event triggered at the tail end of
xlog_cil_push(). If the filesystem has shutdown, however, we rely on
xlog_cil_committed() to trigger the completion event and it happens
to do so after running log item unpin callbacks. This makes it
unsafe to invoke an async log force from contexts that hold locks
that might also be required in log completion processing.
To address this problem, wake commit completion waiters before
aborting log items in the log I/O completion handler. This ensures
that an async log force will not deadlock on held locks if the
filesystem happens to shutdown. Note that it is still unsafe to
issue a sync log force while holding such locks because a sync log
force explicitly waits on the force completion, which occurs after
log I/O completion processing.

When using large directory blocks, we regularly see memory
allocations of >64k being made for the shadow log vector buffer.
When we are under memory pressure, kmalloc() may not be able to find
contiguous memory chunks large enough to satisfy these allocations
easily, and if memory is fragmented we can potentially stall here.
TO avoid this problem, switch the log vector buffer allocation to
use kmem_alloc_large(). This will allow failed allocations to fall
back to vmalloc and so remove the dependency on large contiguous
regions of memory being available. This should prevent slowdowns
and potential stalls when memory is low and/or fragmented.

If a transaction log reservation overrun occurs, the ticket data
associated with the reservation is dumped in xfs_log_commit_cil().
This occurs long after the transaction items and details have been
removed from the transaction and effectively lost. This limited set
of ticket data provides very little information to support debugging
transaction overruns based on the typical report.
To improve transaction log reservation overrun reporting, create a
helper to dump transaction details such as log items, log vector
data, etc., as well as the underlying ticket data for the
transaction. Move the overrun detection from xfs_log_commit_cil() to
xlog_cil_insert_items() so it occurs prior to migration of the
logged items to the CIL. Call the new helper such that it is able to
dump this transaction data before it is lost.
Also, warn on overrun to provide callstack context for the offending
transaction and include a few additional messages from
xlog_cil_insert_items() to display the reservation consumed locally
for overhead such as log vector headers, split region headers and
the context ticket. This provides a complete general breakdown of
the reservation consumption of a transaction when/if it happens to
overrun the reservation.

Transaction reservation overrun detection currently occurs too late
to print useful information about the offending transaction.
Ideally, the transaction data is printed before the associated log
items are moved from the transaction to the CIL, which occurs in
xlog_cil_insert_items(), such that details of the items logged by
the transaction are available for analysis.
Refactor xlog_cil_insert_items() to facilitate moving tx overrun
detection to this function. Update the function to track each bit of
extra log reservation stolen from the transaction (i.e., such as for
the CIL context ticket) and perform the log item migration as the
last operation before the CIL lock is released. This creates a
context where the transaction reservation consumption has been fully
calculated when the log items are moved to the CIL. This patch makes
no functional changes.

One of the problems we currently have with delayed logging is that
under serious memory pressure we can deadlock memory reclaim. THis
occurs when memory reclaim (such as run by kswapd) is reclaiming XFS
inodes and issues a log force to unpin inodes that are dirty in the
CIL.
The CIL is pushed, but this will only occur once it gets the CIL
context lock to ensure that all committing transactions are complete
and no new transactions start being committed to the CIL while the
push switches to a new context.
The deadlock occurs when the CIL context lock is held by a
committing process that is doing memory allocation for log vector
buffers, and that allocation is then blocked on memory reclaim
making progress. Memory reclaim, however, is blocked waiting for
a log force to make progress, and so we effectively deadlock at this
point.
To solve this problem, we have to move the CIL log vector buffer
allocation outside of the context lock so that memory reclaim can
always make progress when it needs to force the log. The problem
with doing this is that a CIL push can take place while we are
determining if we need to allocate a new log vector buffer for
an item and hence the current log vector may go away without
warning. That means we canot rely on the existing log vector being
present when we finally grab the context lock and so we must have a
replacement buffer ready to go at all times.
To ensure this, introduce a "shadow log vector" buffer that is
always guaranteed to be present when we gain the CIL context lock
and format the item. This shadow buffer may or may not be used
during the formatting, but if the log item does not have an existing
log vector buffer or that buffer is too small for the new
modifications, we swap it for the new shadow buffer and format
the modifications into that new log vector buffer.
The result of this is that for any object we modify more than once
in a given CIL checkpoint, we double the memory required
to track dirty regions in the log. For single modifications then
we consume the shadow log vectorwe allocate on commit, and that gets
consumed by the checkpoint. However, if we make multiple
modifications, then the second transaction commit will allocate a
shadow log vector and hence we will end up with double the memory
usage as only one of the log vectors is consumed by the CIL
checkpoint. The remaining shadow vector will be freed when th elog
item is freed.
This can probably be optimised in future - access to the shadow log
vector is serialised by the object lock (as opposited to the active
log vector, which is controlled by the CIL context lock) and so we
can probably free shadow log vector from some objects when the log
item is marked clean on removal from the AIL.

We have seen somewhat rare reports of the following assert from
xlog_cil_push_background() failing during ltp tests or somewhat
innocuous desktop root fs workloads (e.g., virt operations, initramfs
construction):
ASSERT(!list_empty(&cil->xc_cil));
The reasoning behind the assert is that the transaction has inserted
items to the CIL and hit background push codepath all with
cil->xc_ctx_lock held for reading. This locks out background commit from
emptying the CIL, which acquires the lock for writing. Therefore, the
reasoning is that the items previously inserted in the CIL should still
be present.
The cil->xc_ctx_lock read lock is not sufficient to protect the xc_cil
list, however, due to how CIL insertion is handled.
xlog_cil_insert_items() inserts and reorders the dirty transaction items
to the tail of the CIL under xc_cil_lock. It uses list_move_tail() to
achieve insertion and reordering in the same block of code. This
function removes and reinserts an item to the tail of the list. If a
transaction commits an item that was already logged and thus already
resides in the CIL, and said item is the sole item on the list, the
removal and reinsertion creates a temporary state where the list is
actually empty.
This state is not valid and thus should never be observed by concurrent
transaction commit-side checks in the circumstances outlined above. We
do not want to acquire the xc_cil_lock in all of these instances as it
was previously removed and replaced with a separate push lock for
performance reasons. Therefore, close any races with list_empty() on the
insertion side by ensuring that the list is never in a transient empty
state.

When running a tight mount/unmount loop on an older kernel, RedHat
QE found that unmount would occasionally hang in
xfs_buf_unpin_wait() on the superblock buffer. Tracing and other
debug work by Eric Sandeen indicated that it was hanging on the
writing of the superblock during unmount immediately after logging
the superblock counters in a synchronous transaction. Further debug
indicated that the synchronous transaction was not waiting for
completion correctly, and we narrowed it down to
xlog_cil_force_lsn() returning NULLCOMMITLSN and hence not pushing
the transaction in the iclog buffer to disk correctly.
While this unmount superblock write code is now very different in
mainline kernels, the xlog_cil_force_lsn() code is identical, and it
was bisected to the backport of commit f876e44 ("xfs: always do log
forces via the workqueue"). This commit made the CIL push
asynchronous for log forces and hence exposed a race condition that
couldn't occur on a synchronous push.
Essentially, the xlog_cil_force_lsn() relied implicitly on the fact
that the sequence push would be complete by the time
xlog_cil_push_now() returned, resulting in the context being pushed
being in the committing list. When it was made asynchronous, it was
recognised that there was a race condition in detecting whether an
asynchronous push has started or not and code was added to handle
it.
Unfortunately, the fix was not quite right and left a race condition
where it it would detect an empty CIL while a push was in progress
before the context had been added to the committing list. This was
incorrectly seen as a "nothing to do" condition and so would tell
xfs_log_force_lsn() that there is nothing to wait for, and hence it
would push the iclogbufs in memory.
The fix is simple, but explaining the logic and the race condition
is a lot more complex. The fix is to add the context to the
committing list before we start emptying the CIL. This allows us to
detect the difference between an empty "do nothing" push and a push
that has not started by adding a discrete "emptying the CIL" state
to avoid the transient, incorrect "empty" condition that the
(unchanged) waiting code was seeing.

When the CIL checkpoint is fully written to the log, the LSN of the checkpoint
commit record is written into the CIL context structure. This allows log force
waiters to correctly detect when the checkpoint they are waiting on have been
fully written into the log buffers.
However, the initial context after mount is initialised with a non-zero commit
LSN, so appears to waiters as though it is complete even though it may not have
even been pushed, let alone written to the log buffers. Hence a log force
immediately after a filesystem is mounted may not behave correctly, nor does
commit record ordering if multiple CIL pushes interleave immediately after
mount.
To fix this, make sure the initial context commit LSN is not touched until the
first checkpointis actually pushed.

Convert all the errors the core XFs code to negative error signs
like the rest of the kernel and remove all the sign conversion we
do in the interface layers.
Errors for conversion (and comparison) found via searches like:
$ git grep " E" fs/xfs
$ git grep "return E" fs/xfs
$ git grep " E[A-Z].*;$" fs/xfs
Negation points found via searches like:
$ git grep "= -[a-z,A-Z]" fs/xfs

XFS_ERROR was designed long ago to trap return values, but it's not
runtime configurable, it's not consistently used, and we can do
similar error trapping with ftrace scripts and triggers from
userspace.
Just nuke XFS_ERROR and associated bits.

The addition of direct formatting of log items into the CIL
linear buffer added alignment restrictions that the start of each
vector needed to be 64 bit aligned. Hence padding was added in
xlog_finish_iovec() to round up the vector length to ensure the next
vector started with the correct alignment.
This adds a small number of bytes to the size of
the linear buffer that is otherwise unused. The issue is that we
then use the linear buffer size to determine the log space used by
the log item, and this includes the unused space. Hence when we
account for space used by the log item, it's more than is actually
written into the iclogs, and hence we slowly leak this space.
This results on log hangs when reserving space, with threads getting
stuck with these stack traces:
Call Trace:
[<ffffffff81d15989>] schedule+0x29/0x70
[<ffffffff8150d3a2>] xlog_grant_head_wait+0xa2/0x1a0
[<ffffffff8150d55d>] xlog_grant_head_check+0xbd/0x140
[<ffffffff8150ee33>] xfs_log_reserve+0x103/0x220
[<ffffffff814b7f05>] xfs_trans_reserve+0x2f5/0x310
.....
The 4 bytes is significant. Brain Foster did all the hard work in
tracking down a reproducable leak to inode chunk allocation (it went
away with the ikeep mount option). His rough numbers were that
creating 50,000 inodes leaked 11 log blocks. This turns out to be
roughly 800 inode chunks or 1600 inode cluster buffers. That
works out at roughly 4 bytes per cluster buffer logged, and at that
I started looking for a 4 byte leak in the buffer logging code.
What I found was that a struct xfs_buf_log_format structure for an
inode cluster buffer is 28 bytes in length. This gets rounded up to
32 bytes, but the vector length remains 28 bytes. Hence the CIL
ticket reservation is decremented by 32 bytes (via lv->lv_buf_len)
for that vector rather than 28 bytes which are written into the log.
The fix for this problem is to separately track the bytes used by
the log vectors in the item and use that instead of the buffer
length when accounting for the log space that will be used by the
formatted log item.
Again, thanks to Brian Foster for doing all the hard work and long
hours to isolate this leak and make finding the bug relatively
simple.

Reports of a shutdown hang when fsyncing a directory have surfaced,

If we trigger a shutdown in xlog_cil_push() from xlog_write(), we
will never wake waiters on the current push sequence number, so
anything waiting in xlog_cil_force_lsn() for that push sequence
number to come up will not get woken and hence stall the shutdown.
Fix this by ensuring we call wake_up_all(&cil->xc_commit_wait) in
the push abort handling, in the log shutdown code when waking all
waiters, and adding a shutdown check in the sequence completion wait
loops to ensure they abort when a wakeup due to a shutdown occurs.

Log forces can occur deep in the call chain when we have relatively
little stack free. Log forces can also happen at close to the call
chain leaves (e.g. xfs_buf_lock()) and hence we can trigger IO from
places where we really don't want to add more stack overhead.
This stack overhead occurs because log forces do foreground CIL
pushes (xlog_cil_push_foreground()) rather than waking the
background push wq and waiting for the for the push to complete.
This foreground push was done to avoid confusing the CFQ Io
scheduler when fsync()s were issued, as it has trouble dealing with
dependent IOs being issued from different process contexts.
Avoiding blowing the stack is much more critical than performance
optimisations for CFQ, especially as we've been recommending against
the use of CFQ for XFS since 3.2 kernels were release because of
it's problems with multi-threaded IO workloads.
Hence convert xlog_cil_push_foreground() to move the push work
to the CIL workqueue. We already do the waiting for the push to
complete in xlog_cil_force_lsn(), so there's nothing else we need to
modify to make this work.

On 32 bit platforms, the log item vector headers are not 64 bit
aligned or sized. hence if we don't take care to align them
correctly or pad the buffer appropriately for 8 byte alignment, we
can end up with alignment issues when accessing the user buffer
directly as a structure.
To solve this, simply pad the buffer headers to 64 bit offset so
that the data section is always 8 byte aligned.

Instead of setting up pointers to memory locations in iop_format which then
get copied into the CIL linear buffer after return move the copy into
the individual inode items. This avoids the need to always have a memory
block in the exact same layout that gets written into the log around, and
allow the log items to be much more flexible in their in-memory layouts.
The only caveat is that we need to properly align the data for each
iovec so that don't have structures misaligned in subsequent iovecs.
Note that all log item format routines now need to be careful to modify
the copy of the item that was placed into the CIL after calls to
xlog_copy_iovec instead of the in-memory copy.
