In many cases we only want to sync inode metadata. Split out the inode flushing into a separate helper to prepare factoring the inode sync code. Based on a patch from Dave Chinner, but redone to keep the current behaviour exactly and leave changes to the flushing logic to another patch.

Kill the quota ops function vector and replace it with direct calls or stubs in the CONFIG_XFS_QUOTA=n case. Make sure we check XFS_IS_QUOTA_RUNNING in the right spots. We can remove the number of those checks because the XFS_TRANS_DQ_DIRTY flag can't be set otherwise. This brings us back closer to the way this code worked in IRIX and earlier Linux versions, but we keep a lot of the more useful factoring of common code. Eventually we should also kill xfs_qm_bhv.c, but that's left for a later patch. Reduces the size of the source code by about 250 lines and the size of XFS module by about 1.5 kilobytes with quotas enabled: text data bss dec hex filename 615957 2960 3848 622765 980ad fs/xfs/xfs.o 617231 3152 3848 624231 98667 fs/xfs/xfs.o.old Fallout: - xfs_qm_dqattach is split into xfs_qm_dqattach_locked which expects the inode locked and xfs_qm_dqattach which does the locking around it, thus removing XFS_QMOPT_ILOCKED.

Arkadiusz has seen really strange crashes in xfs_qm_dqcheck that I can only explain by a log item being too smal to actually fit the xfs_dqblk_t we're dereferencing all over xfs_qm_dqcheck.

In the case where growing a filesystem would leave the last AG too small, the fixup code has an overflow in the calculation of the new size with one fewer ag, because "nagcount" is a 32 bit number. If the new filesystem has > 2^32 blocks in it this causes a problem resulting in an EINVAL return from growfs: # xfs_io -f -c "truncate 19998630180864" fsfile # mkfs.xfs -f -bsize=4096 -dagsize=76288719b,size=3905982455b fsfile # mount -o loop fsfile /mnt # xfs_growfs /mnt meta-data=/dev/loop0 isize=256 agcount=52, agsize=76288719 blks = sectsz=512 attr=2 data = bsize=4096 blocks=3905982455, imaxpct=5 = sunit=0 swidth=0 blks naming =version 2 bsize=4096 ascii-ci=0 log =internal bsize=4096 blocks=32768, version=2 = sectsz=512 sunit=0 blks, lazy-count=0 realtime =none extsz=4096 blocks=0, rtextents=0 xfs_growfs: XFS_IOC_FSGROWFSDATA xfsctl failed: Invalid argument Reported-by: richard.ems@cape-horn-eng.com Signed-off-by: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@sandeen.net> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Reviewed-by: Felix Blyakher <felixb@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Felix Blyakher <felixb@sgi.com>

Regreesion from commit ef8f7fc5, which rearranged the code in xfs_swap_extents() leading to double unlock of xfs inode ilock. That resulted in xfs_fsr deadlocking itself on platforms, which don't handle double unlock of rw_semaphore nicely. It caused the count go negative, which represents the write holder, without really having one. ia64 is one of the platforms where deadlock was easily reproduced and the fix was tested.

xfs_getbmap (or rather the formatters called by it) copy out the getbmap structures under the ilock, which can deadlock against mmap. This has been reported via bugzilla a while ago (#717) and has recently also shown up via lockdep. So allocate a temporary buffer to format the kernel getbmap structures into and then copy them out after dropping the locks. A little problem with this is that we limit the number of extents we can copy out by the maximum allocation size, but I see no real way around that.

The only thing we need to do now when we get an ENOSPC condition during delayed allocation reservation is flush all the other inodes with delalloc blocks on them and retry without EOF preallocation. Remove the unneeded mess that is xfs_flush_space() and just call xfs_flush_inodes() directly from xfs_iomap_write_delay(). Also, change the location of the retry label to avoid trying to do EOF preallocation because we don't want to do that at ENOSPC. This enables us to remove the BMAPI_SYNC flag as it is no longer used.

If we are creating lots of small files, we can fail to get a reservation for inode create earlier than we should due to EOF preallocation done during delayed allocation reservation. Hence on the first reservation ENOSPC failure flush all the delayed allocation blocks out of the system and retry. This fixes the last commonly triggered spurious ENOSPC issue that has been reported.

xfs_flush_inodes() currently uses a magic timeout to wait for some inodes to be flushed before returning. This isn't really reliable but used to be the best that could be done due to deadlock potential of waiting for the entire flush. Now the inode flush is safe to execute while we hold page and inode locks, we can wait for all the inodes to flush synchronously. Convert the wait mechanism to a completion to do this efficiently. This should remove all remaining spurious ENOSPC errors from the delayed allocation reservation path. This is extracted almost line for line from a larger patch from Mikulas Patocka.

Dave Chinner authored
When we are writing to a single file and hit ENOSPC, we trigger a background flush of the inode and try again. Because we hold page locks and the iolock, the flush won't proceed until after we release these locks. This occurs once we've given up and ENOSPC has been reported. Hence if this one is the only dirty inode in the system, we'll get an ENOSPC prematurely. To fix this, remove the async flush from the allocation routines and move it to the top of the write path where we can do a synchronous flush and retry the write again. Only retry once as a second ENOSPC indicates that we really are ENOSPC. This avoids a page cache deadlock when trying to do this flush synchronously in the allocation layer that was identified by Mikulas Patocka.

Currently xfs_device_flush calls sync_blockdev() which is a no-op for XFS as all it's metadata is held in a different address to the one sync_blockdev() works on. Call xfs_sync_inodes() instead to flush all the delayed allocation blocks out. To do this as efficiently as possible, do it via two passes - one to do an async flush of all the dirty blocks and a second to wait for all the IO to complete. This requires some modification to the xfs-sync_inodes_ag() flush code to do efficiently. Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner <david@fromorbit.com> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>

When trying to reserve log space, we find the amount of space we need, then go to sleep waiting for space. When we are woken, we try to push the tail of the log forward to make sure we have space available. Unfortunately, this means that if there is not space available, and everyone who needs space goes to sleep there is no-one left to push the tail of the log to make space available. Once we have a thread waiting for space to become available, the others queue up behind it in a FIFO, and none of them push the tail of the log. This can result in everyone going to sleep in xlog_grant_log_space() if the first sleeper races with the last I/O that moves the tail of the log forward. With no further I/O tomove the tail of the log, there is nothing to wake the sleepers and hence all transactions just stop. Fix this by making sure the xfsaild will create enough space for the transaction that is about to sleep by moving the push target far enough forwards to ensure that that the curent proceeees will have enough space available when it is woken. That is, we push the AIL before we go to sleep. Because we've inserted the log ticket into the queue before we've pushed and gone to sleep, subsequent transactions will wait behind this one. Hence we are guaranteed to have space available when we are woken. Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner <david@fromorbit.com> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>

Unwritten extent conversion can recurse back into the filesystem due to memory allocation. Memory reclaim requires I/O completions to be processed to allow the callers to make progress. If the I/O completion workqueue thread is doing the recursion, then we have a deadlock situation. Move unwritten extent completion into it's own workqueue so it doesn't block I/O completions for normal delayed allocation or overwrite data.

If we fail to initialise the VFS inode in inode_init_always(), it will call ->delete_inode internally resulting in the inode being freed. Hence we need to delay the call to inode_init_always() until after the XFS inode is sufficient set up to handle a call to ->delete_inode, and then if that fails do not touch the inode again at all as it has been freed.

Setting ->owner as done currently (pde->owner = THIS_MODULE) is racy as correctly noted at bug #12454. Someone can lookup entry with NULL ->owner, thus not pinning enything, and release it later resulting in module refcount underflow. We can keep ->owner and supply it at registration time like ->proc_fops and ->data. But this leaves ->owner as easy-manipulative field (just one C assignment) and somebody will forget to unpin previous/pin current module when switching ->owner. ->proc_fops is declared as "const" which should give some thoughts. ->read_proc/->write_proc were just fixed to not require ->owner for protection. rmmod'ed directories will be empty and return "." and ".." -- no harm. And directories with tricky enough readdir and lookup shouldn't be modular. We definitely don't want such modular code. Removing ->owner will also make PDE smaller. So, let's nuke it. Kudos to Jeff Layton for reminding about this, let's say, oversight. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12454Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com>

struct proc_dir_entry::owner is going to be removed. Now it's only necessary to protect PDEs which are using ->read_proc, ->write_proc hooks. However, ->owner assignments are racy and make it very easy for someone to switch ->owner on live PDE (as some subsystems do) without fixing refcounts and so on. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12454 So, ->owner is on death row. Proxy file operations exist already (proc_file_operations), just bump usecount when necessary. Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com>
