Christoph Hellwig 69ff282611 xfs: implement ->update_time
Use this new method to replace our hacky use of ->dirty_inode.  An additional
benefit is that we can now propagate errors up the stack.

Dave Chinner 14c26c6a05 xfs: add trace points for log forces
To enable easy tracing of the location of log forces and the
frequency of them via perf, add a pair of trace points to the log
force functions.  This will help debug where excessive log forces
are being issued from by simple perf commands like:

# ~/perf/perf top -e xfs:xfs_log_force -G -U

Which gives this sort of output:

Dave Chinner 4e94b71b70 xfs: use blocks for counting length of buffers
Now that we pass block counts everywhere, and index buffers by block
number, track the length of the buffer in units of blocks rather
than bytes. Convert the code to use block counts, and those that
need byte counts get converted at the time of use.

Also, remove the XFS_BUF_{SET_}SIZE() macros that are just wrappers
around the buffer length. They only serve to make the code shouty
loud and don't actually add any real value.

Christoph Hellwig 43ff2122e6 xfs: on-stack delayed write buffer lists
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 ]

Christoph Hellwig 8a9c9980f2 xfs: log timestamp updates
Timestamps on regular files are the last metadata that XFS does not update
transactionally.  Now that we use the delaylog mode exclusively and made
the log scode scale extremly well there is no need to bypass that code for
timestamp updates.  Logging all updates allows to drop a lot of code, and
will allow for further performance improvements later on.

Note that this patch drops optimized handling of fdatasync - it will be
added back in a separate commit.

Christoph Hellwig 92b2e5b31d xfs: use a normal shrinker for the dquot freelist
Stop reusing dquots from the freelist when allocating new ones directly, and
implement a shrinker that actually follows the specifications for the
interface.  The shrinker implementation is still highly suboptimal at this
point, but we can gradually work on it.

This also fixes an bug in the previous lock ordering, where we would take
the hash and dqlist locks inside of the freelist lock against the normal
lock ordering.  This is only solvable by introducing the dispose list,
and thus not when using direct reclaim of unused dquots for new allocations.

As a side-effect the quota upper bound and used to free ratio values in
/proc/fs/xfs/xqm are set to 0 as these values don't make any sense in the
new world order.

Christoph Hellwig 2813d682e8 xfs: remove the i_new_size field in struct xfs_inode
Now that we use the VFS i_size field throughout XFS there is no need for the
i_new_size field any more given that the VFS i_size field gets updated
in ->write_end before unlocking the page, and thus is always uptodate when
writeback could see a page.  Removing i_new_size also has the advantage that
we will never have to trim back di_size during a failed buffered write,
given that it never gets updated past i_size.

Note that currently the generic direct I/O code only updates i_size after
calling our end_io handler, which requires a small workaround to make
sure di_size actually makes it to disk.  I hope to fix this properly in
the generic code.

A downside is that we lose the support for parallel non-overlapping O_DIRECT
appending writes that recently was added.  I don't think keeping the complex
and fragile i_new_size infrastructure for this is a good tradeoff - if we
really care about parallel appending writers we should investigate turning
the iolock into a range lock, which would also allow for parallel
non-overlapping buffered writers.

Christoph Hellwig ce7ae151dd xfs: remove the i_size field in struct xfs_inode
There is no fundamental need to keep an in-memory inode size copy in the XFS
inode.  We already have the on-disk value in the dinode, and the separate
in-memory copy that we need for regular files only in the XFS inode.

Remove the xfs_inode i_size field and change the XFS_ISIZE macro to use the
VFS inode i_size field for regular files.  Switch code that was directly
accessing the i_size field in the xfs_inode to XFS_ISIZE, or in cases where
we are limited to regular files direct access of the VFS inode i_size field.

This also allows dropping some fairly complicated code in the write path
which dealt with keeping the xfs_inode i_size uptodate with the VFS i_size
that is getting updated inside ->write_end.

Note that we do not bother resetting the VFS i_size when truncating a file
that gets freed to zero as there is no point in doing so because the VFS inode
is no longer in use at this point.  Just relax the assert in xfs_ifree to
only check the on-disk size instead.

We spent a lot of effort to maintain this field, but it always equals to the

of maintaining it.  Also introduce a few helpers to consolidate the places

Christoph Hellwig 673e8e597c xfs: remove xfs_itruncate_data
This wrapper isn't overly useful, not to say rather confusing.

Around the call to xfs_itruncate_extents it does:

 - add tracing
 - add a few asserts in debug builds
 - conditionally update the inode size in two places
 - log the inode

Both the tracing and the inode logging can be moved to xfs_itruncate_extents
as they are useful for the attribute fork as well - in fact the attr code
already does an equivalent xfs_trans_log_inode call just after calling
xfs_itruncate_extents.  The conditional size updates are a mess, and there
was no reason to do them in two places anyway, as the first one was
conditional on the inode having extents - but without extents we
xfs_itruncate_extents would be a no-op and the placement wouldn't matter
anyway.  Instead move the size assignments and the asserts that make sense
to the callers that want it.

As a side effect of this clean up xfs_setattr_size by introducing variables
for the old and new inode size, and moving the size updates into a common
place.

Christoph Hellwig 9f9c19ec1a xfs: fix the logspace waiting algorithm
Apply the scheme used in log_regrant_write_log_space to wake up any other
threads waiting for log space before the newly added one to
log_regrant_write_log_space as well, and factor the code into readable
helpers.  For each of the queues we have add two helpers:

 - one to try to wake up all waiting threads.  This helper will also be
   usable by xfs_log_move_tail once we remove the current opportunistic
   wakeups in it.
 - one to sleep on t_wait until enough log space is available, loosely
   modelled after Linux waitqueues.
 
And use them to reimplement the guts of log_regrant_write_log_space and
log_regrant_write_log_space.  These two function now use one and the same
algorithm for waiting on log space instead of subtly different ones before,
with an option to completely unify them in the near future.

Also move the filesystem shutdown handling to the common caller given
that we had to touch it anyway.

Christoph Hellwig 1da2f2dbf2 xfs: optimize fsync on directories
Directories are only updated transactionally, which means fsync only
needs to flush the log the inode is currently dirty, but not bother
with checking for dirty data, non-transactional updates, and most
importanly doesn't have to flush disk caches except as part of a
transaction commit.

While the first two optimizations can't easily be measured, the
latter actually makes a difference when doing lots of fsync that do
not actually have to commit the inode, e.g. because an earlier fsync
already pushed the log far enough.

The new xfs_dir_fsync is identical to xfs_nfs_commit_metadata except
for the prototype, but I'm not sure creating a common helper for the
two is worth it given how simple the functions are.
