Now that we have a separate xfs_icdinode_t for the in-core inode which
gets logged there is no need anymore for the xfs_dinode vs xfs_dinode_core
split - the fact that part of the structure gets logged through the inode
log item and a small part not can better be described in a comment.
All sizeof operations on the dinode_core either really wanted the
icdinode and are switched to that one, or had already added the size
of the agi unlinked list pointer. Later both will be replaced with

locks them in the most optimal way according to the above locking protocol
and uses it for all places that want to lock two inodes.

Remove the xfs_icluster structure and replace with a radix tree lookup.
We don't need to keep a list of inodes in each cluster around anymore as
we can look them up quickly when we need to. The only time we need to do
this now is during inode writeback.
Factor the inode cluster writeback code out of xfs_iflush and convert it
to use radix_tree_gang_lookup() instead of walking a list of inodes built
when we first read in the inodes.
This remove 3 pointers from each xfs_inode structure and the xfs_icluster
structure per inode cluster. Hence we reduce the cache footprint of the
xfs_inodes by between 5-10% depending on cluster sparseness.
To be truly efficient we need a radix_tree_gang_lookup_range() call to
stop searching once we are past the end of the cluster instead of trying
to find a full cluster's worth of inodes.

When pdflush is writing back inodes, it can get stuck on inode cluster
buffers that are currently under I/O. This occurs when we write data to
multiple inodes in the same inode cluster at the same time.
Effectively, delayed allocation marks the inode dirty during the data
writeback. Hence if the inode cluster was flushed during the writeback of
the first inode, the writeback of the second inode will block waiting for
the inode cluster write to complete before writing it again for the newly
dirtied inode.
Basically, we want to avoid this from happening so we don't block pdflush
and slow down all of writeback. Hence we introduce a non-blocking async
inode flush flag that pdflush uses. If this flag is set, we use
non-blocking operations (e.g. try locks) whereever we can to avoid
blocking or extra I/O being issued.

under heavy writeback, this can introduce unnecessary latency due tothe
log I/o getting stuck behind bulk data writes.
Fix this latency problem by avoinding the need for the log force by moving
the place we mark linux inode dirty to the transaction commit rather than
on transaction completion.
This also closes a potential hole in the sync code where a linux inode is
not dirty between the time it is modified and the time the log buffer has

One of the perpetual scaling problems XFS has is indexing it's incore
inodes. We currently uses hashes and the default hash sizes chosen can
only ever be a tradeoff between memory consumption and the maximum
realistic size of the cache.
As a result, anyone who has millions of inodes cached on a filesystem
needs to tunes the size of the cache via the ihashsize mount option to
allow decent scalability with inode cache operations.
A further problem is the separate inode cluster hash, whose size is based
on the ihashsize but is smaller, and so under certain conditions (sparse
cluster cache population) this can become a limitation long before the
inode hash is causing issues.
The following patchset removes the inode hash and cluster hash and
replaces them with radix trees to avoid the scalability limitations of the
hashes. It also reduces the size of the inodes by 3 pointers....

Biggest bit is duplicating the dinode structure so we have one annotated for
native endianess and one for disk endianess. The other significant change
is that xfs_xlate_dinode_core is split into one helper per direction to
allow for proper annotations, everything else is trivial.
As a sidenode splitting out the incore dinode means we can move it into
xfs_inode.h in a later patch and severely improving on the include hell in
xfs.

currently xfs_bmbt_rec_t is used both for ondisk extents as well as
host-endian ones. This patch adds a new xfs_bmbt_rec_host_t for the native
endian ones and cleans up the fallout. There have been various endianess
issues in the tracing / debug printf code that are fixed by this patch.

In media spaces, video is often stored in a frame-per-file format. When
dealing with uncompressed realtime HD video streams in this format, it is
crucial that files do not get fragmented and that multiple files a placed
contiguously on disk.
When multiple streams are being ingested and played out at the same time,
it is critical that the filesystem does not cross the streams and
interleave them together as this creates seek and readahead cache miss
latency and prevents both ingest and playout from meeting frame rate
targets.
This patch set creates a "stream of files" concept into the allocator to
place all the data from a single stream contiguously on disk so that RAID
array readahead can be used effectively. Each additional stream gets
placed in different allocation groups within the filesystem, thereby
ensuring that we don't cross any streams. When an AG fills up, we select a
new AG for the stream that is not in use.
The core of the functionality is the stream tracking - each inode that we
create in a directory needs to be associated with the directories' stream.
Hence every time we create a file, we look up the directories' stream
object and associate the new file with that object.
Once we have a stream object for a file, we use the AG that the stream
object point to for allocations. If we can't allocate in that AG (e.g. it
is full) we move the entire stream to another AG. Other inodes in the same
stream are moved to the new AG on their next allocation (i.e. lazy
update).
Stream objects are kept in a cache and hold a reference on the inode.
Hence the inode cannot be reclaimed while there is an outstanding stream
reference. This means that on unlink we need to remove the stream
association and we also need to flush all the associations on certain
events that want to reclaim all unreferenced inodes (e.g. filesystem
freeze).

The problem that has been addressed is that of synchronising updates of
the file size with writes that extend a file. Without the fix the update
of a file's size, as a result of a write beyond eof, is independent of
when the cached data is flushed to disk. Often the file size update would
be written to the filesystem log before the data is flushed to disk. When
a system crashes between these two events and the filesystem log is
replayed on mount the file's size will be set but since the contents never
made it to disk the file is full of holes. If some of the cached data was
flushed to disk then it may just be a section of the file at the end that
has holes.
There are existing fixes to help alleviate this problem, particularly in
the case where a file has been truncated, that force cached data to be
flushed to disk when the file is closed. If the system crashes while the
file(s) are still open then this flushing will never occur.
The fix that we have implemented is to introduce a second file size,
called the in-memory file size, that represents the current file size as
viewed by the user. The existing file size, called the on-disk file size,
is the one that get's written to the filesystem log and we only update it
when it is safe to do so. When we write to a file beyond eof we only
update the in- memory file size in the write operation. Later when the I/O
operation, that flushes the cached data to disk completes, an I/O
completion routine will update the on-disk file size. The on-disk file
size will be updated to the maximum offset of the I/O or to the value of
the in-memory file size if the I/O includes eof.

This patch handles error return values in fs_flush_pages and
fs_flushinval_pages. It changes the prototype of fs_flushinval_pages so we
can propogate the errors and handle them at higher layers. I also modified
xfs_itruncate_start so that it could propogate the error further.

The previous attempts to fix the linux inode use-after-free in xfs_iunpin
simply made the problem harder to hit. We actually need complete exclusion
between xfs_reclaim and xfs_iunpin, as well as ensuring that the i_flags
are consistent during both of these functions. Introduce a new spinlock
for exclusion and the i_flags, and fix up xfs_iunpin to use igrab before
marking the inode dirty.

xfs_bmap_search_multi_extents() wrapper function that I introduced in mod
xfs-linux:xfs-kern:207393a. The function was added as a wrapper around
xfs_bmap_do_search_extents() to avoid breaking the top-of-tree CXFS
interface. The idea of the function was basically to extract the target
extent buffer (if muli- level extent allocation mode), then call
xfs_bmap_do_search_extents() with either a pointer to the first extent in
the target buffer or a pointer to the first extent in the file, depending
on which extent mode was being used. However, in addition to locating the
target extent record for block bno, xfs_bmap_do_search_extents() also sets
four parameters needed by the caller: *lastx, *eofp, *gotp, *prevp.
Passing only the target extent buffer to xfs_bmap_do_search_extents()
causes *eofp to be set incorrectly if the extent is at the end of the
target list but there are actually more extents in the next er_extbuf.
Likewise, if the extent is the first one in the buffer but NOT the first
in the file, *prevp is incorrectly set to NULL. Adding the needed
functionality to xfs_bmap_search_multi_extents() to re-set any incorrectly
set fields is redundant and makes the call to xfs_bmap_do_search_extents()
not make much sense when multi-level extent allocation mode is being used.
This mod basically extracts the two functional components from
xfs_bmap_do_search_extents(), with the intent of obsoleting/removing
xfs_bmap_do_search_extents() after the CXFS mult-level in-core extent
changes are checked in. The two components are: 1) The binary search to
locate the target extent record, and 2) Setting the four parameters needed
by the caller (*lastx, *eofp, *gotp, *prevp). Component 1: I created a
new function in xfs_inode.c called xfs_iext_bno_to_ext(), which executes
the binary search to find the target extent record.
xfs_bmap_search_multi_extents() has been modified to call
xfs_iext_bno_to_ext() rather than xfs_bmap_do_search_extents(). Component
2: The parameter setting functionality has been added to
xfs_bmap_search_multi_extents(), eliminating the need for
xfs_bmap_do_search_extents(). These changes make the removal of
xfs_bmap_do_search_extents() trival once the CXFS changes are in place.
They also allow us to maintain the current XFS interface, using the new
search function introduced in mod xfs-linux:xfs-kern:207393a.

functionality, building upon the new layout introduced in mod
xfs-linux:xfs-kern:207390a. The new multi-level extent allocations are
only required for heavily fragmented files, so the old-style linear extent
list is used on files until the extents reach a pre-determined size of 4k.
4k buffers are used because this is the system page size on Linux i386 and
systems with larger page sizes don't seem to gain much, if anything, by
using their native page size as the extent buffer size. Also, using 4k
extent buffers everywhere provides a consistent interface for CXFS across
different platforms. The 4k extent buffers are managed by an indirection
array (xfs_ext_irec_t) which is basically just a pointer array with a bit
of extra information to keep track of the number of extents in each buffer
as well as the extent offset of each buffer. Major changes include: -
Add multi-level in-core file extent functionality to the xfs_iext_
subroutines introduced in mod: xfs-linux:xfs-kern:207390a - Introduce 13
new subroutines which add functionality for multi-level in-core file
extents: xfs_iext_add_indirect_multi()
xfs_iext_remove_indirect() xfs_iext_realloc_indirect()
xfs_iext_indirect_to_direct() xfs_iext_bno_to_irec()
xfs_iext_idx_to_irec() xfs_iext_irec_init()
xfs_iext_irec_new() xfs_iext_irec_remove()
xfs_iext_irec_compact() xfs_iext_irec_compact_pages()

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
