Christoph Hellwig 815cb21662 xfs: XFS_TRANS_SWAPEXT is not a valid flag for xfs_trans_commit
XFS_TRANS_SWAPEXT is a transaction type, not a flag for xfs_trans_commit, so
don't pass it in xfs_swap_extents.

Lukas Czerner c029a50d51 xfs: fix possible overflow in xfs_ioc_trim()
In xfs_ioc_trim it is possible that computing the last allocation group
to discard might overflow for big start & len values, because the result
might be bigger then xfs_agnumber_t which is 32 bit long. Fix this by not
allowing the start and end block of the range to be beyond the end of the
file system.

Note that if the start is beyond the end of the file system we have to
return -EINVAL, but in the "end" case we have to truncate it to the fs
size.

Also introduce "end" variable, rather than using start+len which which
might be more confusing to get right as this bug shows.

Dave Chinner 5c8ed2021f xfs: introduce xfs_bmapi_read()
xfs_bmapi() currently handles both extent map reading and
allocation. As a result, the code is littered with "if (wr)"
branches to conditionally do allocation operations if required.
This makes the code much harder to follow and causes significant
indent issues with the code.

Given that read mapping is much simpler than allocation, we can
split out read mapping from xfs_bmapi() and reuse the logic that
we have already factored out do do all the hard work of handling the
extent map manipulations. The results in a much simpler function for
the common extent read operations, and will allow the allocation
code to be simplified in another commit.

Once xfs_bmapi_read() is implemented, convert all the callers of
xfs_bmapi() that are only reading extents to use the new function.

Mitsuo Hayasaka ed32201e65 xfs: Return -EIO when xfs_vn_getattr() failed

Currently it returns EIO, not negative value, when it failed.  As a

error and do not work correctly.

Dave Chinner 7271d243f9 xfs: don't serialise adjacent concurrent direct IO appending writes
For append write workloads, extending the file requires a certain
amount of exclusive locking to be done up front to ensure sanity in
things like ensuring that we've zeroed any allocated regions
between the old EOF and the start of the new IO.

For single threads, this typically isn't a problem, and for large
IOs we don't serialise enough for it to be a problem for two
threads on really fast block devices. However for smaller IO and
larger thread counts we have a problem.

Take 4 concurrent sequential, single block sized and aligned IOs.
After the first IO is submitted but before it completes, we end up
with this state:

      |       |
      |       \- ip->i_new_size
      \- ip->i_size

And the IO is done without exclusive locking because offset <=
ip->i_size. When we submit IO 2, we see offset > ip->i_size, and
grab the IO lock exclusive, because there is a chance we need to do
EOF zeroing. However, there is already an IO in progress that avoids
the need for IO zeroing because offset <= ip->i_new_size. hence we
could avoid holding the IO lock exlcusive for this. Hence after
submission of the second IO, we'd end up this state:

        IO 1    IO 2    IO 3    IO 4
      +-------+-------+-------+-------+
      ^               ^
      |               |
      |               |
      |               |
      |               \- ip->i_new_size
      \- ip->i_size

There is no need to grab the i_mutex of the IO lock in exclusive
mode if we don't need to invalidate the page cache. Taking these
locks on every direct IO effective serialises them as taking the IO
lock in exclusive mode has to wait for all shared holders to drop
the lock. That only happens when IO is complete, so effective it
prevents dispatch of concurrent direct IO writes to the same inode.

And so you can see that for the third concurrent IO, we'd avoid
exclusive locking for the same reason we avoided the exclusive lock
for the second IO.

Fixing this is a bit more complex than that, because we need to hold
a write-submission local value of ip->i_new_size to that clearing
the value is only done if no other thread has updated it before our
IO completes.....

Dave Chinner 0c38a2512d xfs: don't serialise direct IO reads on page cache checks
There is no need to grab the i_mutex of the IO lock in exclusive
mode if we don't need to invalidate the page cache. Taking these
locks on every direct IO effective serialises them as taking the IO
lock in exclusive mode has to wait for all shared holders to drop
the lock. That only happens when IO is complete, so effective it
prevents dispatch of concurrent direct IO reads to the same inode.

Fix this by taking the IO lock shared to check the page cache state,
and only then drop it and take the IO lock exclusively if there is
work to be done. Hence for the normal direct IO case, no exclusive
locking will occur.
