So this patch removes all mlog(0,...) from localalloc.c and adds
the corresponding tracepoints. Different mlogs have different

2. Some are replaced while some new parameters are added.
3. Some are combined into one trace events.
4. Some redundant mlogs are removed.

mlog_exit is used to record the exit status of a function.
But because it is added in so many functions, if we enable it,
the system logs get filled up quickly and cause too much I/O.
So actually no one can open it for a production system or even
for a test.
This patch just try to remove it or change it. So:
1. if all the error paths already use mlog_errno, it is just removed.
Otherwise, it will be replaced by mlog_errno.
2. if it is used to print some return value, it is replaced with
mlog(0,...).
mlog_exit_ptr is changed to mlog(0.
All those mlog(0,...) will be replaced with trace events later.

In commit 6b82021b9e, we increase
our local alloc size and calculate how much megabytes we can
get according to group size and volume size.
But we also need to check the maximum bits a local alloc block
bitmap can have. With a bs=512, cs=32K, local volume with 160G,
it calculate 96MB while the maximum local alloc size is only
76M. So the bitmap will overflow and corrupt the system truncate

I have observed that the current size of 8M gives us pretty poor
fragmentation on multi-threaded workloads which do lots of writes.
Generally, I can increase the size of local alloc windows and observe a
marked decrease in fragmentation, even up and beyond window sizes of 512
megabytes. This makes sense for a couple reasons - larger local alloc means
more room for reservation windows. On multi-node workloads the larger local
alloc helps as well because we don't have to do window slides as often.
Also, I removed the OCFS2_DEFAULT_LOCAL_ALLOC_SIZE constant as it is no
longer used and the comment above it was out of date.
To test fragmentation, I used a workload which launched 4 threads that did
4k writes into a series of about 140 alternating files.
With resv_level=2, and a 4k/4k file system I observed the following average
fragmentation for various localalloc= parameters:
localalloc= avg. fragmentation
8 48
32 16
64 10
120 7
On larger cluster sizes, the difference is more dramatic.
The new default size top out at 256M, which we'll only get for cluster
sizes of 32K and above.

This patch pulls the local alloc sizing code into localalloc.c and provides
a callout to it from ocfs2_fill_super(). Behavior is essentially unchanged
except that I correctly calculate the maximum local alloc size. The old code
in ocfs2_parse_options() calculated the max size as:
ocfs2_local_alloc_size(sb) * 8
which is correct, in bits. Unfortunately though the option passed in is in
megabytes. Ultimately, this bug made no real difference - the shrink code
would catch a too-large size and bring it down to something reasonable.
Still, it's less than efficient as-is.

Inodes are always allocated from the global bitmap now so we don't need this
any more. Also, the existing implementation bounces reservations around
needlessly.
Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mfasheh@suse.com>
This patch improves Ocfs2 allocation policy by allowing an inode to
reserve a portion of the local alloc bitmap for itself. The reserved
portion (allocation window) is advisory in that other allocation
windows might steal it if the local alloc bitmap becomes
full. Otherwise, the reservations are honored and guaranteed to be
free. When the local alloc window is moved to a different portion of
the bitmap, existing reservations are discarded.
Reservation windows are represented internally by a red-black
tree. Within that tree, each node represents the reservation window of
one inode. An LRU of active reservations is also maintained. When new
data is written, we allocate it from the inodes window. When all bits
in a window are exhausted, we allocate a new one as close to the
previous one as possible. Should we not find free space, an existing
reservation is pulled off the LRU and cannibalized.

jbd[2]_journal_dirty_metadata() only returns 0. It's been returning 0
since before the kernel moved to git. There is no point in checking
this error.
ocfs2_journal_dirty() has been faithfully returning the status since the
beginning. All over ocfs2, we have blocks of code checking this can't
fail status. In the past few years, we've tried to avoid adding these
checks, because they are pointless. But anyone who looks at our code
assumes they are needed.
Finally, ocfs2_journal_dirty() is made a void function. All error

When the local alloc file changes windows, unused bits are freed back to the
global bitmap. By defnition, those bits can not be in use by any file. Also,
the local alloc will never have been able to allocate those bits if they
were part of a previous truncate. Therefore it makes sense that we should
clear unused local alloc bits in the undo buffer so that they can be used
immediatly.

What we were doing before was to ask for the current window size as the
maximum allocation. This had the effect of limiting the amount of allocation
we could get for the local alloc during times when the window size was
shrunk due to fragmentation. In some cases, that could actually *increase*
fragmentation by artificially limiting the number of bits we can accept. So
while we still want to ask for a minimum number of bits equal to window
size, there is no reason why we should limit the number of bits the local
alloc should accept. Hence always allow the maximum number of local alloc
bits.

The per-metadata-type ocfs2_journal_access_*() functions hook up jbd2
commit triggers and allow us to compute metadata ecc right before the
buffers are written out. This commit provides ecc for inodes, extent
blocks, group descriptors, and quota blocks. It is not safe to use
extened attributes and metaecc at the same time yet.
The ocfs2_extent_tree and ocfs2_path abstractions in alloc.c both hide
the type of block at their root. Before, it didn't matter, but now the
root block must use the appropriate ocfs2_journal_access_*() function.
To keep this abstract, the structures now have a pointer to the matching
journal_access function and a wrapper call to call it.
A few places use naked ocfs2_write_block() calls instead of adding the
blocks to the journal. We make sure to calculate their checksum and ecc
before the write.
Since we pass around the journal_access functions. Let's typedef them

The ocfs2 code currently reads inodes off disk with a simple
ocfs2_read_block() call. Each place that does this has a different set
of sanity checks it performs. Some check only the signature. A couple
validate the block number (the block read vs di->i_blkno). A couple
others check for VALID_FL. Only one place validates i_fs_generation. A
couple check nothing. Even when an error is found, they don't all do
the same thing.
We wrap inode reading into ocfs2_read_inode_block(). This will validate
all the above fields, going readonly if they are invalid (they never
should be). ocfs2_read_inode_block_full() is provided for the places
that want to pass read_block flags. Every caller is passing a struct
inode with a valid ip_blkno, so we don't need a separate blkno argument
either.
We will remove the validation checks from the rest of the code in a
later commit, as they are no longer necessary.

ocfs2 inode numbers are block numbers. For any filesystem with less
than 2^32 blocks, this is not a problem. However, when ocfs2 starts
using JDB2, it will be able to support filesystems with more than 2^32
blocks. This would result in inode numbers higher than 2^32.
The problem is that stat(2) can't handle those numbers on 32bit
machines. The simple solution is to have ocfs2 allocate all inodes
below that boundary.
The suballoc code is changed to honor an optional block limit. Only the
inode suballocator sets that limit - all other allocations stay unlimited.
The biggest trick is to grow the inode suballocator beneath that limit.
There's no point in allocating block groups that are above the limit,
then rejecting their elements later on. We want to prevent the inode
allocator from ever having block groups above the limit. This involves
a little gyration with the local alloc code. If the local alloc window
is above the limit, it signals the caller to try the global bitmap but
does not disable the local alloc file (which can be used for other
allocations).

Ocfs2's local allocator disables itself for the duration of a mount point
when it has trouble allocating a large enough area from the primary bitmap.
That can cause performance problems, especially for disks which were only
temporarily full or fragmented. This patch allows for the allocator to
shrink it's window first, before being disabled. Later, it can also be
re-enabled so that any performance drop is minimized.
To do this, we allow the value of osb->local_alloc_bits to be shrunk when
needed. The default value is recorded in a mostly read-only variable so that
we can re-initialize when required.
Locking had to be updated so that we could protect changes to
local_alloc_bits. Mostly this involves protecting various local alloc values
with the osb spinlock. A new state is also added, OCFS2_LA_THROTTLED, which
is used when the local allocator is has shrunk, but is not disabled. If the
available space dips below 1 megabyte, the local alloc file is disabled. In
either case, local alloc is re-enabled 30 seconds after the event, or when
an appropriate amount of bits is seen in the primary bitmap.

The ocfs2 write code loops through a page much like the block code, except
that ocfs2 allocation units can be any size, including larger than page
size. Typically it's equal to or larger than page size - most kernels run 4k
pages, the minimum ocfs2 allocation (cluster) size.
Some changes introduced during 2.6.23 changed the way writes to pages are
handled, and inadvertantly broke support for > 4k page size. Instead of just
writing one cluster at a time, we now handle the whole page in one pass.
This means that multiple (small) seperate allocations might happen in the
same pass. The allocation code howver typically optimizes by getting the
maximum which was reserved. This triggered a BUG_ON in the extend code where
it'd ask for a single bit (for one part of a > 4k page) and get back more
than it asked for.
Fix this by providing a variant of the high level allocation function which
allows the caller to specify a maximum. The traditional function remains and
just calls the new one with a maximum determined from the initial
reservation.
