Pull xfs updates from Darrick Wong:
"New features this cycle include the ability to relabel mounted
filesystems, support for fallocated swapfiles, and using FUA for pure
data O_DSYNC directio writes. With this cycle we begin to integrate
online filesystem repair and refactor the growfs code in preparation
for eventual subvolume support, though the road ahead for both
features is quite long.
There are also numerous refactorings of the iomap code to remove
unnecessary log overhead, to disentangle some of the quota code, and
to prepare for buffer head removal in a future upstream kernel.
Metadata validation continues to improve, both in the hot path
veifiers and the online filesystem check code. I anticipate sending a
second pull request in a few days with more metadata validation
improvements.
This series has been run through a full xfstests run over the weekend
and through a quick xfstests run against this morning's master, with
no major failures reported.

GFS2 keeps two arrarys in the superblock that define the maximum size of
an inode depending on the inode's height: sdp->sd_heightsize defines the
heights in units of sb->s_blocksize; sdp->sd_jheightsize defines them in
units of sb->s_blocksize - sizeof(struct gfs2_meta_header). These
arrays are used to determine when additional layers of indirect blocks
are needed. The second array is used for directories which have an
additional gfs2_meta_header at the beginning of each block.
Distinguishing between these two cases makes no sense: the height
required for representing N blocks will come out the same no matter if
the calculation is done in gross (sb->s_blocksize) or net
(sb->s_blocksize - sizeof(struct gfs2_meta_header)) units.
Stuffed directories don't have an additional gfs2_meta_header, but the
stuffed case is handled separately for both files and directories,
anyway.
Remove the unncessary sdp->sd_jheightsize array.

Instead of zeroing out fallocated blocks in gfs2_iomap_alloc, zero them

gfs2's abuse of the IOMAP_ZERO flag as well as the gfs2 specific zeronew
buffer flag. I can't think of a reason why zeroing out the blocks in
gfs2_iomap_alloc would have any benefits: there is no additional locking
at that level that would add protection to the newly allocated blocks.

When punching a hole or truncating an inode down to a given size, also
check if the truncate point / start of the hole is within the range we
have metadata for. Otherwise, we can end up freeing blocks that
shouldn't be freed, corrupting the inode, or crashing the machine when
trying to punch a hole into the void.
When growing an inode via truncate, we set the new size but we don't
allocate additional levels of indirect blocks and grow the inode height.
When shrinking that inode again, the new size may still point beyond the
end of the inode's metadata.

It turns out that commit 3974320ca6 "Implement iomap for block_map"
introduced a few bugs that trigger occasional failures with xfstest
generic/476:
In gfs2_iomap_begin, we jump to do_alloc when we determine that we are
beyond the end of the allocated metadata (height > ip->i_height).
There, we can end up calling hole_size with a metapath that doesn't
match the current metadata tree, which doesn't make sense. After
untangling the code at do_alloc, fix this by checking if the block we
are looking for is within the range of allocated metadata.
In addition, add a BUG() in case gfs2_iomap_begin is accidentally called
for reading stuffed files: this is handled separately. Make sure we
don't truncate iomap->length for reads beyond the end of the file; in
that case, the entire range counts as a hole.
Finally, revert to taking a bitmap write lock when doing allocations.
It's unclear why that change didn't lead to any failures during testing.

In rare cases, the current non-recursive delete algorithm doesn't
deallocate empty intermediary indirect blocks. This should have very
little practical effect, but deallocating all blocks correctly should
still be preferable as it is cleaner and easier to validate.
The fix consists of using the first block to deallocate to compute the
start marker of the truncate point instead of the last block that needs
to be kept. With that change, computing which indirect blocks are still
needed becomes relatively easy.

The metadata read-ahead algorithm broke when switching from recursive to

N - 1 while deallocating the blocks at hight N. However, deallocating
the blocks at height N requires a complete walk of the metadata tree,
not only down to height N - 1. Consequently, all blocks below height
N - 1 will be accessed without read-ahead.

First, this function truncates the file in chunks. When the original
file size isn't block aligned, each chunk that is truncated will remain
be misaligned. This is inefficient.
Second, this function doesn't recognize where holes are, so it loops
through them. For each chunk of a hole, it creates a new transaction.
At least avoid creating another transactions whe the current one is
still empty. (An better fix would be to skip large holes, of course.)

Before this patch if you truncated a file to a smaller size it
wasn't freeing all the blocks properly. There are two reasons.
First, the metapath comparison was not comparing previous heights.
I added a function, mp_eq_to_hgt, which checks the metapath at
all heights prior to the target height.
Second, in function find_nonnull_ptr, it needed to zero out all
pointers for heights following the target height. Translated into
decimal integer terms, this way a number like 299, when incremented,
becomes 300, not 399. The 2 gets incremented to 3, and the following
digits need to be reset.
These two things allow the truncate state machine to properly find
the blocks it needs to delete.

When gfs2 does metadata I/O, only REQ_META is used as a metadata hint of
the bio. But flag REQ_META is just a hint for block trace, not for block
layer code to handle a bio as metadata request.
For some of metadata I/Os of gfs2, A REQ_PRIO flag on the metadata bio
would be very informative to block layer code. For example, if bcache is
used as a I/O cache for gfs2, it will be possible for bcache code to get
the hint and cache the pre-fetched metadata blocks on cache device. This
behavior may be helpful to improve metadata I/O performance if the
following requests hit the cache.
Here are the locations in gfs2 code where a REQ_PRIO flag should be added,
- All places where REQ_READAHEAD is used, gfs2 code uses this flag for
metadata read ahead.
- In gfs2_meta_rq() where the first metadata block is read in.
- In gfs2_write_buf_to_page(), read in quota metadata blocks to have them
up to date.
These metadata blocks are probably to be accessed again in future, adding
a REQ_PRIO flag may have bcache to keep such metadata in fast cache
device. For system without a cache layer, REQ_PRIO can still provide hint
to block layer to handle metadata requests more properly.

Implement truncate/delete as a non-recursive algorithm. The older
algorithm was implemented with recursion to strip off each layer
at a time (going by height, starting with the maximum height.
This version tries to do the same thing but without recursion,
and without needing to allocate new structures or lists in memory.
For example, say you want to truncate a very large file to 1 byte,
and its end-of-file metapath is: 0.505.463.428. The starting
metapath would be 0.0.0.0. Since it's a truncate to non-zero, it
needs to preserve that byte, and all metadata pointing to it.
So it would start at 0.0.0.0, look up all its metadata buffers,
then free all data blocks pointed to at the highest level.
After that buffer is "swept", it moves on to 0.0.0.1, then
0.0.0.2, etc., reading in buffers and sweeping them clean.
When it gets to the end of the 0.0.0 metadata buffer (for 4K
blocks the last valid one is 0.0.0.508), it backs up to the
previous height and starts working on 0.0.1.0, then 0.0.1.1,
and so forth. After it reaches the end and sweeps 0.0.1.508,
it continues with 0.0.2.0, and so on. When that height is
exhausted, and it reaches 0.0.508.508 it backs up another level,
to 0.1.0.0, then 0.1.0.1, through 0.1.0.508. So it has to keep
marching backwards and forwards through the metadata until it's
all swept clean. Once it has all the data blocks freed, it
lowers the strip height, and begins the process all over again,
but with one less height. This time it sweeps 0.0.0 through
0.505.463. When that's clean, it lowers the strip height again
and works to free 0.505. Eventually it strips the lowest height, 0.
For a delete or truncate to 0, all metadata for all heights of
0.0.0.0 would be freed. For a truncate to 1 byte, 0.0.0.0 would
be preserved.
This isn't much different from normal integer incrementing,
where an integer gets incremented from 0000 (0.0.0.0) to 3021
(3.0.2.1). So 0000 gets increments to 0001, 0002, up to 0009,
then on to 0010, 0011 up to 0099, then 0100 and so forth. It's
just that each "digit" goes from 0 to 508 (for a total of 509
pointers) rather than from 0 to 9.
Note that the dinode will only have 483 pointers due to the
dinode structure itself.
Also note: this is just an example. These numbers (509 and 483)
are based on a standard 4K block size. Smaller block sizes will
yield smaller numbers of indirect pointers accordingly.
The truncation process is accomplished with the help of two
major functions and a few helper functions.
Functions do_strip and recursive_scan are obsolete, so removed.
New function sweep_bh_for_rgrps cleans a buffer_head pointed to
by the given metapath and height. By cleaning, I mean it frees
all blocks starting at the offset passed in metapath. It starts
at the first block in the buffer pointed to by the metapath and
identifies its resource group (rgrp). From there it frees all
subsequent block pointers that lie within that rgrp. If it's
already inside a transaction, it stays within it as long as it
can. In other words, it doesn't close a transaction until it knows
it's freed what it can from the resource group. In this way,
multiple buffers may be cleaned in a single transaction, as long
as those blocks in the buffer all lie within the same rgrp.
If it's not in a transaction, it starts one. If the buffer_head
has references to blocks within multiple rgrps, it frees all the
blocks inside the first rgrp it finds, then closes the
transaction. Then it repeats the cycle: identifies the next
unfreed block, uses it to find its rgrp, then starts a new
transaction for that set. It repeats this process repeatedly
until the buffer_head contains no more references to any blocks
past the given metapath.
Function trunc_dealloc has been reworked into a finite state
automaton. It has basically 3 active states:
DEALLOC_MP_FULL, DEALLOC_MP_LOWER, and DEALLOC_FILL_MP:
The DEALLOC_MP_FULL state implies the metapath has a full set
of buffers out to the "shrink height", and therefore, it can
call function sweep_bh_for_rgrps to free the blocks within the
highest height of the metapath. If it's just swept the lowest
level (or an error has occurred) the state machine is ended.
Otherwise it proceeds to the DEALLOC_MP_LOWER state.
The DEALLOC_MP_LOWER state implies we are finished with a given
buffer_head, which may now be released, and therefore we are
then missing some buffer information from the metapath. So we
need to find more buffers to read in. In most cases, this is
just a matter of releasing the buffer_head and moving to the
next pointer from the previous height, so it may be read in and
swept as well. If it can't find another non-null pointer to
process, it checks whether it's reached the end of a height
and needs to lower the strip height, or whether it still needs
move forward through the previous height's metadata. In this
state, all zero-pointers are skipped. From this state, it can
only loop around (once more backing up another height) or,
once a valid metapath is found (one that has non-zero
pointers), proceed to state DEALLOC_FILL_MP.
The DEALLOC_FILL_MP state implies that we have a metapath
but not all its buffers are read in. So we must proceed to read
in buffer_heads until the metapath has a valid buffer for every
height. If the previous state backed us up 3 heights, we may
need to read in a buffer, increment the height, then repeat the
process until buffers have been read in for all required heights.
If it's successful reading a buffer, and it's at the highest
height we need, it proceeds back to the DEALLOC_MP_FULL state.
If it's unable to fill in a buffer, (encounters a hole, etc.)
it tries to find another non-zero block pointer. If they're all
zero, it lowers the height and returns to the DEALLOC_MP_LOWER
state. If it finds a good non-null pointer, it loops around and
reads it in, while keeping the metapath in lock-step with the
pointers it examines.
The state machine runs until the truncation request is
satisfied. Then any transactions are ended, the quota and
statfs data are updated, and the function is complete.
Helper function metaptr1 was introduced to be an easy way to
determine the start of a buffer_head's indirect pointers.
Helper function lookup_mp_height was introduced to find a
metapath index and read in the buffer that corresponds to it.
In this way, function lookup_metapath becomes a simple loop to
call it for every height.
Helper function fillup_metapath is similar to lookup_metapath
except it can do partial lookups. If the state machine
backed up multiple levels (like 2999 wrapping to 3000) it
needs to find out the next starting point and start issuing
metadata reads at that point.
Helper function hptrs is a shortcut to determine how many
pointers should be expected in a buffer. Height 0 is the dinode
which has fewer pointers than the others.

gfs2: Make gfs2_write_full_page static
GFS2: Reduce contention on gfs2_log_lock
GFS2: Inline function meta_lo_add
GFS2: Switch tr_touched to flag in transaction
GFS2: Wake up io waiters whenever a flush is done
GFS2: Made logd daemon take into account log demand
GFS2: Limit number of transaction blocks requested for truncates
GFS2: Fix reference to ERR_PTR in gfs2_glock_iter_next
This patch limits the number of transaction blocks requested during
file truncates. If we have very large multi-terabyte files, and want
to delete or truncate them, they might span so many resource groups
that we overflow the journal blocks, and cause an assert failure.
By limiting the number of blocks in the transaction, we prevent this
overflow and give other running processes time to do transactions.
The limiting factor I chose is sd_log_thresh2 which is currently
set to 4/5ths of the journal. This same ratio is used in function
gfs2_ail_flush_reqd to determine when a log flush is required.
If we make the maximum value less than this, we can get into a
infinite hang whereby the log stops moving because the number of
used blocks is less than the threshold and the iterative loop
needs more, but since we're under the threshold, the log daemon
never starts any IO on the log.

CURRENT_TIME macro is not appropriate for filesystems as it
doesn't use the right granularity for filesystem timestamps.
Use current_time() instead.
CURRENT_TIME is also not y2038 safe.
This is also in preparation for the patch that transitions
vfs timestamps to use 64 bit time and hence make them
y2038 safe. As part of the effort current_time() will be
extended to do range checks. Hence, it is necessary for all
file system timestamps to use current_time(). Also,
current_time() will be transitioned along with vfs to be
y2038 safe.
Note that whenever a single call to current_time() is used
to change timestamps in different inodes, it is because they
share the same time granularity.

These two are confusing leftover of the old world order, combining
values of the REQ_OP_ and REQ_ namespaces. For callers that don't
special case we mostly just replace bi_rw with bio_data_dir or
op_is_write, except for the few cases where a switch over the REQ_OP_
values makes more sense. Any check for READA is replaced with an
explicit check for REQ_RAHEAD. Also remove the READA alias for
REQ_RAHEAD.

PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.
This promise never materialized. And unlikely will.
We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.
Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.
Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are
not.
The changes are pretty straight-forward:
- <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
- <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
- PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};
- page_cache_get() -> get_page();
- page_cache_release() -> put_page();
This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.
The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.
There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch. Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

Before this patch, multi-block reservation structures were allocated
from a special slab. This patch folds the structure into the gfs2_inode
structure. The disadvantage is that the gfs2_inode needs more memory,
even when a file is opened read-only. The advantages are: (a) we don't
need the special slab and the extra time it takes to allocate and
deallocate from it. (b) we no longer need to worry that the structure
exists for things like quota management. (c) This also allows us to
remove the calls to get_write_access and put_write_access since we
know the structure will exist.

This patch basically reverts the majority of patch 5407e24.
That patch eliminated the gfs2_qadata structure in favor of just
using the reservations structure. The problem with doing that is that
it increases the size of the reservations structure. That is not an
issue until it comes time to fold the reservations structure into the
inode in memory so we know it's always there. By separating out the
quota structure again, we aren't punishing the non-quota users by
making all the inodes bigger, requiring more slab space. This patch
creates a new slab area to allocate the quota stuff so it's managed
a little more sanely.
Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson <rpeterso@redhat.com>
Use struct gfs2_alloc_parms as an argument to gfs2_quota_check()
and gfs2_quota_lock_check() to check for quota violations while
accounting for the new blocks requested by the current operation
in ap->target.
Previously, the number of new blocks requested during an operation
were not accounted for during quota_check and would allow these
operations to exceed quota. This was not very apparent since most
operations allocated only 1 block at a time and quotas would get
violated in the next operation. i.e. quota excess would only be by
1 block or so. With fallocate, (where we allocate a bunch of blocks
at once) the quota excess is non-trivial and is addressed by this
patch.

This patch fixes a long standing issue in mapping the journal
extents. Most journals will consist of only a single extent,
and although the cache took account of that by merging extents,
it did not actually map large extents, but instead was doing a
block by block mapping. Since the journal was only being mapped
on mount, this was not normally noticeable.
With the updated code, it is now possible to use the same extent
mapping system during journal recovery (which will be added in a
later patch). This will allow checking of the integrity of the
journal before any reply of the journal content is attempted. For
this reason the code is moving to bmap.c, since it will be used
more widely in due course.
An exercise left for the reader is to compare the new function
gfs2_map_journal_extents() with gfs2_write_alloc_required()
Additionally, should there be a failure, the error reporting is
also updated to show more detail about what went wrong.
