      xfs: fix buffer shudown reference count mismatch · 137fff09
      Dave Chinner authored
      When we shut down the filesystem, we have to unpin and free all the
      buffers currently active in the CIL. To do this we unpin and remove
      them in one operation as a result of a failed iclogbuf write. For
      buffers, we do this removal via a simultated IO completion of after
      marking the buffer stale.
      
      At the time we do this, we have two references to the buffer - the
      active LRU reference and the buf log item.  The LRU reference is
      removed by marking the buffer stale, and the active CIL reference is
      by the xfs_buf_iodone() callback that is run by
      xfs_buf_do_callbacks() during ioend processing (via the bp->b_iodone
      callback).
      
      However, ioend processing requires one more reference - that of the
      IO that it is completing. We don't have this reference, so we free
      the buffer prematurely and use it after it is freed. For buffers
      marked with XBF_ASYNC, this leads to assert failures in
      xfs_buf_rele() on debug kernels because the b_hold count is zero.
      
      Fix this by making sure we take the necessary IO reference before
      starting IO completion processing on the stale buffer, and set the
      XBF_ASYNC flag to ensure that IO completion processing removes all
      the active references from the buffer to ensure it is fully torn
      down.

      xfs: don't vmap inode cluster buffers during free · b6aff29f
      Dave Chinner authored
      Inode buffers do not need to be mapped as inodes are read or written
      directly from/to the pages underlying the buffer. This fixes a
      regression introduced by commit 611c9946 ("xfs: make XBF_MAPPED the
      default behaviour").

      xfs: invalidate allocbt blocks moved to the free list · 4c05f9ad
      Dave Chinner authored
      When we free a block from the alloc btree tree, we move it to the
      freelist held in the AGFL and mark it busy in the busy extent tree.
      This typically happens when we merge btree blocks.
      
      Once the transaction is committed and checkpointed, the block can
      remain on the free list for an indefinite amount of time.  Now, this
      isn't the end of the world at this point - if the free list is
      shortened, the buffer is invalidated in the transaction that moves
      it back to free space. If the buffer is allocated as metadata from
      the free list, then all the modifications getted logged, and we have
      no issues, either. And if it gets allocated as userdata direct from
      the freelist, it gets invalidated and so will never get written.
      
      However, during the time it sits on the free list, pressure on the
      log can cause the AIL to be pushed and the buffer that covers the
      block gets pushed for write. IOWs, we end up writing a freed
      metadata block to disk. Again, this isn't the end of the world
      because we know from the above we are only writing to free space.
      
      The problem, however, is for validation callbacks. If the block was
      on old btree root block, then the level of the block is going to be
      higher than the current tree root, and so will fail validation.
      There may be other inconsistencies in the block as well, and
      currently we don't care because the block is in free space. Shutting
      down the filesystem because a freed block doesn't pass write
      validation, OTOH, is rather unfriendly.
      
      So, make sure we always invalidate buffers as they move from the
      free space trees to the free list so that we guarantee they never
      get written to disk while on the free list.

      xfs: move allocation stack switch up to xfs_bmapi_allocate · e04426b9
      Dave Chinner authored
      Switching stacks are xfs_alloc_vextent can cause deadlocks when we
      run out of worker threads on the allocation workqueue. This can
      occur because xfs_bmap_btalloc can make multiple calls to
      xfs_alloc_vextent() and even if xfs_alloc_vextent() fails it can
      return with the AGF locked in the current allocation transaction.
      
      If we then need to make another allocation, and all the allocation
      worker contexts are exhausted because the are blocked waiting for
      the AGF lock, holder of the AGF cannot get it's xfs-alloc_vextent
      work completed to release the AGF.  Hence allocation effectively
      deadlocks.
      
      To avoid this, move the stack switch one layer up to
      xfs_bmapi_allocate() so that all of the allocation attempts in a
      single switched stack transaction occur in a single worker context.
      This avoids the problem of an allocation being blocked waiting for
      a worker thread whilst holding the AGF.

      xfs: introduce XFS_BMAPI_STACK_SWITCH · 2455881c
      Dave Chinner authored
      Certain allocation paths through xfs_bmapi_write() are in situations
      where we have limited stack available. These are almost always in
      the buffered IO writeback path when convertion delayed allocation
      extents to real extents.
      
      The current stack switch occurs for userdata allocations, which
      means we also do stack switches for preallocation, direct IO and
      unwritten extent conversion, even those these call chains have never
      been implicated in a stack overrun.
      
      Hence, let's target just the single stack overun offended for stack
      switches. To do that, introduce a XFS_BMAPI_STACK_SWITCH flag that
      the caller can pass xfs_bmapi_write() to indicate it should switch
      stacks if it needs to do allocation.

      xfs: only update the last_sync_lsn when a transaction completes · d35e88fa
      Dave Chinner authored
      The log write code stamps each iclog with the current tail LSN in
      the iclog header so that recovery knows where to find the tail of
      thelog once it has found the head. Normally this is taken from the
      first item on the AIL - the log item that corresponds to the oldest
      active item in the log.
      
      The problem is that when the AIL is empty, the tail lsn is dervied
      from the the l_last_sync_lsn, which is the LSN of the last iclog to
      be written to the log. In most cases this doesn't happen, because
      the AIL is rarely empty on an active filesystem. However, when it
      does, it opens up an interesting case when the transaction being
      committed to the iclog spans multiple iclogs.
      
      That is, the first iclog is stamped with the l_last_sync_lsn, and IO
      is issued. Then the next iclog is setup, the changes copied into the
      iclog (takes some time), and then the l_last_sync_lsn is stamped
      into the header and IO is issued. This is still the same
      transaction, so the tail lsn of both iclogs must be the same for log
      recovery to find the entire transaction to be able to replay it.
      
      The problem arises in that the iclog buffer IO completion updates
      the l_last_sync_lsn with it's own LSN. Therefore, If the first iclog
      completes it's IO before the second iclog is filled and has the tail
      lsn stamped in it, it will stamp the LSN of the first iclog into
      it's tail lsn field. If the system fails at this point, log recovery
      will not see a complete transaction, so the transaction will no be
      replayed.
      
      The fix is simple - the l_last_sync_lsn is updated when a iclog
      buffer IO completes, and this is incorrect. The l_last_sync_lsn
      shoul dbe updated when a transaction is completed by a iclog buffer
      IO. That is, only iclog buffers that have transaction commit
      callbacks attached to them should update the l_last_sync_lsn. This
      means that the last_sync_lsn will only move forward when a commit
      record it written, not in the middle of a large transaction that is
      rolling through multiple iclog buffers.

      xfs: remove xfs_iget.c · 33479e05

      The inode cache functions remaining in xfs_iget.c can be moved to xfs_icache.c
      along with the other inode cache functions. This removes all functionality from
      xfs_iget.c, so the file can simply be removed.
      
      This move results in various functions now only having the scope of a single
      file (e.g. xfs_inode_free()), so clean up all the definitions and exported
      prototypes in xfs_icache.[ch] and xfs_inode.h appropriately.

      events to indicate which process and what inode we were trying to
      lock when the hang occurred. This is much better than the current

      xfs: xfs_sync_fsdata is redundant · 34061f5c
      Dave Chinner authored
      Why do we need to write the superblock to disk once we've written
      all the data?  We don't actually - the reasons for doing this are
      lost in the mists of time, and go back to the way Irix used to drive
      VFS flushing.
      
      On linux, this code is only called from two contexts: remount and
      .sync_fs. In the remount case, the call is followed by a metadata
      sync, which unpins and writes the superblock.  In the sync_fs case,
      we only need to force the log to disk to ensure that the superblock
      is correctly on disk, so we don't actually need to write it. Hence
      the functionality is either redundant or superfluous and thus can be
      removed.
      
      Seeing as xfs_quiesce_data is essentially now just a log force,
      remove it as well and fold the code back into the two callers.
      Neither of them need the log covering check, either, as that is
      redundant for the remount case, and unnecessary for the .sync_fs
      case.

      xfs: xfs_sync_data is redundant. · 9aa05000
      Dave Chinner authored
      We don't do any data writeback from XFS any more - the VFS is
      completely responsible for that, including for freeze. We can
      replace the remaining caller with a VFS level function that
      achieves the same thing, but without conflicting with current
      writeback work.
      
      This means we can remove the flush_work and xfs_flush_inodes() - the
      VFS functionality completely replaces the internal flush queue for
      doing this writeback work in a separate context to avoid stack
      overruns.
      
      This does have one complication - it cannot be called with page
      locks held.  Hence move the flushing of delalloc space when ENOSPC
      occurs back up into xfs_file_aio_buffered_write when we don't hold
      any locks that will stall writeback.
      
      Unfortunately, writeback_inodes_sb_if_idle() is not sufficient to
      trigger delalloc conversion fast enough to prevent spurious ENOSPC
      whent here are hundreds of writers, thousands of small files and GBs
      of free RAM.  Hence we need to use sync_sb_inodes() to block callers
      while we wait for writeback like the previous xfs_flush_inodes
      implementation did.
      
      That means we have to hold the s_umount lock here, but because this
      call can nest inside i_mutex (the parent directory in the create
      case, held by the VFS), we have to use down_read_trylock() to avoid
      potential deadlocks. In practice, this trylock will succeed on
      almost every attempt as unmount/remount type operations are
      exceedingly rare.
      
      Note: we always need to pass a count of zero to
      generic_file_buffered_write() as the previously written byte count.
      We only do this by accident before this patch by the virtue of ret
      always being zero when there are no errors. Make this explicit
      rather than needing to specifically zero ret in the ENOSPC retry
      case.

      xfs: Bring some sanity to log unmounting · cf2931db
      Dave Chinner authored
      When unmounting the filesystem, there are lots of operations that
      need to be done in a specific order, and they are spread across
      across a couple of functions. We have to drain the AIL before we
      write the unmount record, and we have to shut down the background
      log work before we do either of them.
      
      But this is all split haphazardly across xfs_unmountfs() and
      xfs_log_unmount(). Move all the AIL flushing and log manipulations
      to xfs_log_unmount() so that the responisbilities of each function
      is clear and the operations they perform obvious.

      xfs_syncd_start and xfs_syncd_stop tie a bunch of unrelated
      functionailty together that actually have different start and stop
      requirements. Kill these functions and open code the start/stop
      methods for each of the background functions.
      
      Subsequent patches will move the start/stop functions around to the
      correct places to avoid races and shutdown issues.

      x86, boot: Explicitly include autoconf.h for hostprogs · b6eea87f
      Matt Fleming authored
      The hostprogs need access to the CONFIG_* symbols found in
      include/generated/autoconf.h.  But commit abbf1590 ("UAPI: Partition
      the header include path sets and add uapi/ header directories") replaced
      $(LINUXINCLUDE) with $(USERINCLUDE) which doesn't contain the necessary
      include paths.
      
      This has the undesirable effect of breaking the EFI boot stub because
      the #ifdef CONFIG_EFI_STUB code in arch/x86/boot/tools/build.c is
      never compiled.
      
      It should also be noted that because $(USERINCLUDE) isn't exported by
      the top-level Makefile it's actually empty in arch/x86/boot/Makefile.

      Pull ARM update from Russell King:
       "This is the final round of stuff for ARM, left until the end of the
        merge window to reduce the number of conflicts.  This set contains the
        ARM part of David Howells UAPI changes, and a fix to the ordering of
        'select' statements in ARM Kconfig files (see the appropriate commit
        for why this happened - thanks to Andrew Morton for pointing out the
        problem.)
      
        I've left this as long as I dare for this window to avoid conflicts,
        and I regenerated the config patch yesterday, posting it to our
        mailing list for review and testing.  I have several acks which
        include successful test reports for it.
      
        However, today I notice we've got new conflicts with previously unseen
        code...  though that conflict should be trivial (it's my changes vs a
        one liner.)"
      
      * 'late-for-linus' of git://git.linaro.org/people/rmk/linux-arm:
        ARM: config: make sure that platforms are ordered by option string

      Fix up fairly conflict in arch/arm/Kconfig (the select re-organization
      vs recent addition of GENERIC_KERNEL_EXECVE)
