fsstress has a particular effective way of stopping debug XFS
kernels. We keep seeing assert failures due finding delayed
allocation extents where there should be none. This shows up when
extracting extent maps and we are holding all the locks we should be
to prevent races, so this really makes no sense to see these errors.
After checking that fsstress does not use mmap, it occurred to me
that fsstress uses something that no sane application uses - the
XFS_IOC_ALLOCSP ioctl interfaces for preallocation. These interfaces
do allocation of blocks beyond EOF without using preallocation, and
then call setattr to extend and zero the allocated blocks.
THe problem here is this is a buffered write, and hence the
allocation is a delayed allocation. Unlike the buffered IO path, the
allocation and zeroing are not serialised using the IOLOCK. Hence
the ALLOCSP operation can race with operations holding the iolock to
prevent buffered IO operations from occurring.

Because we no longer use the page cache for buffering, there is no
direct block number to page offset relationship anymore.
xfs_buf_get_pages is still setting up b_offset as if there was some
relationship, and that is leading to incorrectly setting up
*uncached* buffers that don't overwrite b_offset once they've had
pages allocated.
For cached buffers, the first block of the buffer is always at offset
zero into the allocated memory. This is true for sub-page sized
buffers, as well as for multiple-page buffers.
For uncached buffers, b_offset is only non-zero when we are
associating specific memory to the buffers, and that is set
correctly by the code setting up the buffer.
Hence remove the setting of b_offset in xfs_buf_get_pages, because
it is now always the wrong thing to do.

When memory allocation fails to add the page array or tht epages to
a buffer during xfs_buf_get(), the buffer is left in the cache in a
partially initialised state. There is enough state left for the next
lookup on that buffer to find the buffer, and for the buffer to then
be used without finishing the initialisation. As a result, when an
attempt to do IO on the buffer occurs, it fails with EIO because
there are no pages attached to the buffer.
We cannot remove the buffer from the cache immediately and free it,
because there may already be a racing lookup that is blocked on the
buffer lock. Hence the moment we unlock the buffer to then free it,
the other user is woken and we have a use-after-free situation.
To avoid this race condition altogether, allocate the pages for the
buffer before we insert it into the cache. This then means that we
don't have an allocation failure case to deal after the buffer is
already present in the cache, and hence avoid the problem
altogether. In most cases we won't have racing inserts for the same
buffer, and so won't increase the memory pressure allocation before
insertion may entail.

xfstest 229 exposes a problem with buffered IO, delayed allocation
and extent size hints. That is when we do delayed allocation during
buffered IO, we reserve space for the extent size hint alignment and
allocate the physical space to align the extent, but we do not zero
the regions of the extent that aren't written by the write(2)
syscall. The result is that we expose stale data in unwritten
regions of the extent size hints.
There are two ways to fix this. The first is to detect that we are
doing unaligned writes, check if there is already a mapping or data
over the extent size hint range, and if not zero the page cache
first before then doing the real write. This can be very expensive
for large extent size hints, especially if the subsequent writes
fill then entire extent size before the data is written to disk.
The second, and simpler way, is simply to turn off delayed
allocation when the extent size hint is set and use preallocation
instead. This results in unwritten extents being laid down on disk
and so only the written portions will be converted. This matches the
behaviour for direct IO, and will also work for the real time
device. The disadvantage of this approach is that for small extent
size hints we can get file fragmentation, but in general extent size
hints are fairly large (e.g. stripe width sized) so this isn't a big
deal.
Implement the second approach as it is simple and effective.

When we are doing speculative delayed allocation beyond EOF,
conversion of the region allocated beyond EOF is dependent on the
largest free space extent available. If the largest free extent is
smaller than the delalloc range, then after allocation we leave
a delalloc extent that starts beyond EOF. This extent cannot *ever*
be converted by flushing data, and so will remain there until either
the EOF moves into the extent or it is truncated away.
Hence if xfs_getbmap() runs on such an inode and is asked to return
extents beyond EOF, it will assert fail on this extent even though
there is nothing xfs_getbmap() can do to convert it to a real
extent. Hence we should simply report these delalloc extents rather
than assert that there should be none.

XFS (vdb): Invalid block length (0x2000) for buffer

output causes the clean filesystem checks on test completion to
think the filesystem is inconsistent.
The cause of the error is simply that log recovery is asking for a
buffer size that is larger than the log when zeroing the tail. This
is because the buffer size is rounded up, and if the right head and
tail conditions exist then the buffer size can be larger than the log.

When a partial write inside EOF fails, it can leave delayed
allocation blocks lying around because they don't get punched back
out. This leads to assert failures like:
XFS: Assertion failed: XFS_FORCED_SHUTDOWN(ip->i_mount) || ip->i_delayed_blks == 0, file: fs/xfs/xfs_super.c, line: 847
when evicting inodes from the cache. This can be trivially triggered
by xfstests 083, which takes between 5 and 15 executions on a 512
byte block size filesystem to trip over this. Debugging shows a
failed write due to ENOSPC calling xfs_vm_write_failed such as:
[ 5012.329024] ino 0xa0026: vwf to 0x17000, sze 0x1c85ae
and no action is taken on it. This leaves behind a delayed
allocation extent that has no page covering it and no data in it:
[ 5015.867162] ino 0xa0026: blks: 0x83 delay blocks 0x1, size 0x2538c0
[ 5015.868293] ext 0: off 0x4a, fsb 0x50306, len 0x1
[ 5015.869095] ext 1: off 0x4b, fsb 0x7899, len 0x6b
[ 5015.869900] ext 2: off 0xb6, fsb 0xffffffffe0008, len 0x1
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
[ 5015.871027] ext 3: off 0x36e, fsb 0x7a27, len 0xd
[ 5015.872206] ext 4: off 0x4cf, fsb 0x7a1d, len 0xa
So the delayed allocation extent is one block long at offset
0x16c00. Tracing shows that a bigger write:
xfs_file_buffered_write: size 0x1c85ae offset 0x959d count 0x1ca3f ioflags
allocates the block, and then fails with ENOSPC trying to allocate
the last block on the page, leading to a failed write with stale
delalloc blocks on it.
Because we've had an ENOSPC when trying to allocate 0x16e00, it
means that we are never goinge to call ->write_end on the page and
so the allocated new buffer will not get marked dirty or have the
buffer_new state cleared. In other works, what the above write is
supposed to end up with is this mapping for the page:
+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+
UMA UMA UMA UMA UMA UMA UND FAIL
where: U = uptodate
M = mapped
N = new
A = allocated
D = delalloc
FAIL = block we ENOSPC'd on.
and the key point being the buffer_new() state for the newly
allocated delayed allocation block. Except it doesn't - we're not
marking buffers new correctly.
That buffer_new() problem goes back to the xfs_iomap removal days,
where xfs_iomap() used to return a "new" status for any map with
newly allocated blocks, so that __xfs_get_blocks() could call
set_buffer_new() on it. We still have the "new" variable and the
check for it in the set_buffer_new() logic - except we never set it
now!
Hence that newly allocated delalloc block doesn't have the new flag
set on it, so when the write fails we cannot tell which blocks we
are supposed to punch out. WHy do we need the buffer_new flag? Well,
that's because we can have this case:
+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+------+
UMD UMD UMD UMD UMD UMD UND FAIL
where all the UMD buffers contain valid data from a previously
successful write() system call. We only want to punch the UND buffer
because that's the only one that we added in this write and it was
only this write that failed.
That implies that even the old buffer_new() logic was wrong -
because it would result in all those UMD buffers on the page having
set_buffer_new() called on them even though they aren't new. Hence
we shoul donly be calling set_buffer_new() for delalloc buffers that
were allocated (i.e. were a hole before xfs_iomap_write_delay() was
called).
So, fix this set_buffer_new logic according to how we need it to
work for handling failed writes correctly. Also, restore the new
buffer logic handling for blocks allocated via
xfs_iomap_write_direct(), because it should still set the buffer_new
flag appropriately for newly allocated blocks, too.
SO, now we have the buffer_new() being set appropriately in
__xfs_get_blocks(), we can detect the exact delalloc ranges that
we allocated in a failed write, and hence can now do a walk of the
buffers on a page to find them.
Except, it's not that easy. When block_write_begin() fails, it
unlocks and releases the page that we just had an error on, so we
can't use that page to handle errors anymore. We have to get access
to the page while it is still locked to walk the buffers. Hence we
have to open code block_write_begin() in xfs_vm_write_begin() to be
able to insert xfs_vm_write_failed() is the right place.
With that, we can pass the page and write range to
xfs_vm_write_failed() and walk the buffers on the page, looking for
delalloc buffers that are either new or beyond EOF and punch them
out. Handling buffers beyond EOF ensures we still handle the
existing case that xfs_vm_write_failed() handles.
Of special note is the truncate_pagecache() handling - that only
should be done for pages outside EOF - pages within EOF can still
contain valid, dirty data so we must not punch them out of the
cache.
That just leaves the xfs_vm_write_end() failure handling.
The only failure case here is that we didn't copy the entire range,
and generic_write_end() handles that by zeroing the region of the
page that wasn't copied, we don't have to punch out blocks within
the file because they are guaranteed to contain zeros. Hence we only
have to handle the existing "beyond EOF" case and don't need access
to the buffers on the page. Hence it remains largely unchanged.
Note that xfs_getbmap() can still trip over delalloc blocks beyond
EOF that are left there by speculative delayed allocation. Hence
this bug fix does not solve all known issues with bmap vs delalloc,
but it does fix all the the known accidental occurances of the
problem.

xfs_is_delayed_page() checks to see if a page has buffers matching
the given IO type passed in. It does so by walking the buffer heads
on the page and checking if the state flags match the IO type.
However, the "acceptable" variable that is calculated is overwritten
every time a new buffer is checked. Hence if the first buffer on the
page is of the right type, this state is lost if the second buffer
is not of the correct type. This means that xfs_aops_discard_page()
may not discard delalloc regions when it is supposed to, and
xfs_convert_page() may not cluster IO as efficiently as possible.
This problem only occurs on filesystems with a block size smaller
than page size.
Also, rename xfs_is_delayed_page() to xfs_check_page_type() to
better describe what it is doing - it is not delalloc specific
anymore.
The problem was first noticed by Peter Watkins.

Doing background CIL flushes adds significant latency to whatever
async transaction that triggers it. To avoid blocking async
transactions on things like waiting for log buffer IO to complete,
move the CIL push off into a workqueue. By moving the push work
into a workqueue, we remove all the latency that the commit adds
from the foreground transaction commit path. This also means that
single threaded workloads won't do the CIL push procssing, leaving
them more CPU to do more async transactions.
To do this, we need to keep track of the sequence number we have
pushed work for. This avoids having many transaction commits
attempting to schedule work for the same sequence, and ensures that
we only ever have one push (background or forced) in progress at a
time. It also means that we don't need to take the CIL lock in write
mode to check for potential background push races, which reduces
lock contention.
To avoid potential issues with "smart" IO schedulers, don't use the
workqueue for log force triggered flushes. Instead, do them directly
so that the log IO is done directly by the process issuing the log
force and so doesn't get stuck on IO elevator queue idling
incorrectly delaying the log IO from the workqueue.

xfs_trans_ail_delete_bulk() can be called from different contexts so
if the item is not in the AIL we need different shutdown for each
context. Pass in the shutdown method needed so the correct action
can be taken.
