Christoph Hellwig 281627df3e xfs: log file size updates at I/O completion time
Do not use unlogged metadata updates and the VFS dirty bit for updating
the file size after writeback.  In addition to causing various problems
with updates getting delayed for far too long this also drags in the
unscalable VFS dirty tracking, and is one of the few remaining unlogged
metadata updates.

Christoph Hellwig 84803fb782 xfs: log file size updates as part of unwritten extent conversion
If we convert and unwritten extent past the current i_size log the size update
as part of the extent manipulation transactions instead of doing an unlogged
metadata update later.

Christoph Hellwig 6923e686f1 xfs: do not require an ioend for new EOF calculation
Replace xfs_ioend_new_eof with a new inline xfs_new_eof helper that
doesn't require and ioend, and is available also outside of xfs_aops.c.

Also make the code a bit more clear by using a normal if statement
instead of a slightly misleading MIN().

Christoph Hellwig aa6bf01d39 xfs: use per-filesystem I/O completion workqueues
The new concurrency managed workqueues are cheap enough that we can create
per-filesystem instead of global workqueues.  This allows us to remove the
trylock or defer scheme on the ilock, which is not helpful once we have
outstanding log reservations until finishing a size update.

Also allow the default concurrency on this workqueues so that I/O completions
blocking on the ilock for one inode do not block process for another inode.

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.

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.

Christoph Hellwig 4a06fd262d xfs: remove i_iocount
We now have an i_dio_count filed and surrounding infrastructure to wait
for direct I/O completion instead of i_icount, and we have never needed
to iocount waits for buffered I/O given that we only set the page uptodate
after finishing all required work.  Thus remove i_iocount, and replace
the actually needed waits with calls to inode_dio_wait.
