Speculative preallocation and and the associated throttling metrics
assume we're working with large files on large filesystems. Users have
reported inefficiencies in these mechanisms when we happen to be dealing
with large files on smaller filesystems. This can occur because while
prealloc throttling is aggressive under low free space conditions, it is
not active until we reach 5% free space or less.
For example, a 40GB filesystem has enough space for several files large
enough to have multi-GB preallocations at any given time. If those files
are slow growing, they might reserve preallocation for long periods of
time as well as avoid the background scanner due to frequent
modification. If a new file is written under these conditions, said file
has no access to this already reserved space and premature ENOSPC is
imminent.
To handle this scenario, modify the buffered write ENOSPC handling and
retry sequence to invoke an eofblocks scan. In the smaller filesystem
scenario, the eofblocks scan resets the usage of preallocation such that
when the 5% free space threshold is met, throttling effectively takes
over to provide fair and efficient preallocation until legitimate
ENOSPC.
The eofblocks scan is selective based on the nature of the failure. For
example, an EDQUOT failure in a particular quota will use a filtered
scan for that quota. Because we don't know which quota might have caused
an allocation failure at any given time, we include each applicable
quota determined to be under low free space conditions in the scan.

group and project quota hints are currently stored on the user
dquot. If we are attaching quotas to the inode, then the group and
project dquots are stored as hints on the user dquot to save having
to look them up again later.
The thing is, the hints are not used for that inode for the rest of
the life of the inode - the dquots are attached directly to the
inode itself - so the only time the hints are used is when an inode
first has dquots attached.
When the hints on the user dquot don't match the dquots being
attache dto the inode, they are then removed and replaced with the
new hints. If a user is concurrently modifying files in different
group and/or project contexts, then this leads to thrashing of the
hints attached to user dquot.
If user quotas are not enabled, then hints are never even used.
So, if the hints are used to avoid the cost of the lookup, is the
cost of the lookup significant enough to justify the hint
infrstructure? Maybe it was once, when there was a global quota
manager shared between all XFS filesystems and was hash table based.
However, lookups are now much simpler, requiring only a single lock and
radix tree lookup local to the filesystem and no hash or LRU
manipulations to be made. Hence the cost of lookup is much lower
than when hints were implemented. Turns out that benchmarks show
that, too, with thir being no differnce in performance when doing
file creation workloads as a single user with user, group and
project quotas enabled - the hints do not make the code go any
faster. In fact, removing the hints shows a 2-3% reduction in the
time it takes to create 50 million inodes....
So, let's just get rid of the hints and the complexity around them.

All of the buffer operations structures are needed to be exported
for xfs_db, so move them all to a common location rather than
spreading them all over the place. They are verifying the on-disk
format, so while xfs_format.h might be a good place, it is not part
of the on disk format.
Hence we need to create a new header file that we centralise these
related definitions. Start by moving the bffer operations
structures, and then also move all the other definitions that have
crept into xfs_log_format.h and xfs_format.h as there was no other
shared header file to put them in.

Enable tracking of high and low watermarks for preallocation
throttling of files under quota restrictions. These values are
calculated when the quota limit is read from disk or modified and
cached for later use by the throttling algorithm.
The high watermark specifies when preallocation is disabled, the
low watermark specifies when throttling is enabled and the low free
space data structure contains precalculated low free space limits
to serve as input to determine the level of throttling required.
Note that the low free space data structure is based on the
existing global low free space data structure with the exception of
using three stages (5%, 3% and 1%) rather than five to reduce the
impact of xfs_dquot memory overhead.

To separate the verifiers from iodone functions and associate read
and write verifiers at the same time, introduce a buffer verifier
operations structure to the xfs_buf.
This avoids the need for assigning the write verifier, clearing the
iodone function and re-running ioend processing in the read
verifier, and gets rid of the nasty "b_pre_io" name for the write
verifier function pointer. If we ever need to, it will also be
easier to add further content specific callbacks to a buffer with an
ops structure in place.
We also avoid needing to export verifier functions, instead we
can simply export the ops structures for those that are needed
outside the function they are defined in.
This patch also fixes a directory block readahead verifier issue
it exposed.
This patch also adds ops callbacks to the inode/alloc btree blocks
initialised by growfs. These will need more work before they will

These verifiers are essentially the same code as the read verifiers,
but do not require ioend processing. Hence factor the read verifier
functions and add a new write verifier wrapper that is used as the
callback.
This is done as one large patch for all verifiers rather than one
patch per verifier as the change is largely mechanical. This
includes hooking up the write verifier via the read verifier
function.
Hooking up the write verifier for buffers obtained via
xfs_trans_get_buf() will be done in a separate patch as that touches
code in many different places rather than just the verifier

Queue delwri buffers on a local on-stack list instead of a per-buftarg one,
and write back the buffers per-process instead of by waking up xfsbufd.
This is now easily doable given that we have very few places left that write
delwri buffers:
- log recovery:
Only done at mount time, and already forcing out the buffers
synchronously using xfs_flush_buftarg
- quotacheck:
Same story.
- dquot reclaim:
Writes out dirty dquots on the LRU under memory pressure. We might
want to look into doing more of this via xfsaild, but it's already
more optimal than the synchronous inode reclaim that writes each
buffer synchronously.
- xfsaild:
This is the main beneficiary of the change. By keeping a local list
of buffers to write we reduce latency of writing out buffers, and
more importably we can remove all the delwri list promotions which
were hitting the buffer cache hard under sustained metadata loads.
The implementation is very straight forward - xfs_buf_delwri_queue now gets
a new list_head pointer that it adds the delwri buffers to, and all callers
need to eventually submit the list using xfs_buf_delwi_submit or
xfs_buf_delwi_submit_nowait. Buffers that already are on a delwri list are
skipped in xfs_buf_delwri_queue, assuming they already are on another delwri
list. The biggest change to pass down the buffer list was done to the AIL
pushing. Now that we operate on buffers the trylock, push and pushbuf log
item methods are merged into a single push routine, which tries to lock the
item, and if possible add the buffer that needs writeback to the buffer list.
This leads to much simpler code than the previous split but requires the
individual IOP_PUSH instances to unlock and reacquire the AIL around calls
to blocking routines.
Given that xfsailds now also handle writing out buffers, the conditions for
log forcing and the sleep times needed some small changes. The most
important one is that we consider an AIL busy as long we still have buffers
to push, and the other one is that we do increment the pushed LSN for
buffers that are under flushing at this moment, but still count them towards
the stuck items for restart purposes. Without this we could hammer on stuck
items without ever forcing the log and not make progress under heavy random
delete workloads on fast flash storage devices.
[ Dave Chinner:
- rebase on previous patches.
- improved comments for XBF_DELWRI_Q handling
- fix XBF_ASYNC handling in queue submission (test 106 failure)
- rename delwri submit function buffer list parameters for clarity
- xfs_efd_item_push() should return XFS_ITEM_PINNED ]
