Commits starting at 77c1a08 introduced a multiple segment support
to xfs_buf. xfs_trans_buf_item_match() could not find a multi-segment
buffer in the transaction because it was looking at the single segment
block number rather than the multi-segment b_maps[0].bm.bn. This
results on a recursive buffer lock that can never be satisfied.
This patch:
1) Changed the remaining b_map accesses to be b_maps[0] accesses.
2) Renames the single segment b_map structure to __b_map to avoid
future confusion.

To separate the verifiers from iodone functions and associate read
and write verifiers at the same time, introduce a buffer verifier
operations structure to the xfs_buf.
This avoids the need for assigning the write verifier, clearing the
iodone function and re-running ioend processing in the read
verifier, and gets rid of the nasty "b_pre_io" name for the write
verifier function pointer. If we ever need to, it will also be
easier to add further content specific callbacks to a buffer with an
ops structure in place.
We also avoid needing to export verifier functions, instead we
can simply export the ops structures for those that are needed
outside the function they are defined in.
This patch also fixes a directory block readahead verifier issue
it exposed.
This patch also adds ops callbacks to the inode/alloc btree blocks
initialised by growfs. These will need more work before they will
work with CRCs.

Add a callback to the buffer write path to enable verification of
the buffer and CRC calculation prior to issuing the write to the
underlying storage.
If the callback function detects some kind of failure or error
condition, it must mark the buffer with an error so that the caller
can take appropriate action. In the case of xfs_buf_ioapply(), a
corrupt metadta buffer willt rigger a shutdown of the filesystem,
because something is clearly wrong and we can't allow corrupt
metadata to be written to disk.

Add a verifier function callback capability to the buffer read
interfaces. This will be used by the callers to supply a function
that verifies the contents of the buffer when it is read from disk.
This patch does not provide callback functions, but simply modifies
the interfaces to allow them to be called.
The reason for adding this to the read interfaces is that it is very
difficult to tell fom the outside is a buffer was just read from
disk or whether we just pulled it out of cache. Supplying a callbck
allows the buffer cache to use it's internal knowledge of the buffer
to execute it only when the buffer is read from disk.
It is intended that the verifier functions will mark the buffer with
an EFSCORRUPTED error when verification fails. This allows the
reading context to distinguish a verification error from an IO
error, and potentially take further actions on the buffer (e.g.
attempt repair) based on the error reported.

While xfs_buftarg_shrink() is freeing buffers from the dispose list (filled with
buffers from lru list), there is a possibility to have xfs_buf_stale() racing
with it, and removing buffers from dispose list before xfs_buftarg_shrink() does
it.
This happens because xfs_buftarg_shrink() handle the dispose list without
locking and the test condition in xfs_buf_stale() checks for the buffer being in
*any* list:
if (!list_empty(&bp->b_lru))
If the buffer happens to be on dispose list, this causes the buffer counter of
lru list (btp->bt_lru_nr) to be decremented twice (once in xfs_buftarg_shrink()
and another in xfs_buf_stale()) causing a wrong account usage of the lru list.
This may cause xfs_buftarg_shrink() to return a wrong value to the memory
shrinker shrink_slab(), and such account error may also cause an underflowed
value to be returned; since the counter is lower than the current number of
items in the lru list, a decrement may happen when the counter is 0, causing
an underflow on the counter.
The fix uses a new flag field (and a new buffer flag) to serialize buffer
handling during the shrink process. The new flag field has been designed to use
btp->bt_lru_lock/unlock instead of xfs_buf_lock/unlock mechanism.
dchinner, sandeen, aquini and aris also deserve credits for this.

To support discontiguous buffers in the buffer cache, we need to
separate the cache index variables from the I/O map. While this is
currently a 1:1 mapping, discontiguous buffer support will break
this relationship.
However, for caching purposes, we can still treat them the same as a
contiguous buffer - the block number of the first block and the
length of the buffer - as that is still a unique representation.
Also, the only way we will ever access the discontiguous regions of
buffers is via bulding the complete buffer in the first place, so
using the initial block number and entire buffer length is a sane
way to index the buffers.
Add a block mapping vector construct to the xfs_buf and use it in
the places where we are doing IO instead of the current
b_bn/b_length variables.

Just about all callers of xfs_buf_read() and xfs_buf_get() use XBF_DONTBLOCK.
This is used to make memory allocation use GFP_NOFS rather than GFP_KERNEL to
avoid recursion through memory reclaim back into the filesystem.
All the blocking get calls in growfs occur inside a transaction, even though
they are no part of the transaction, so all allocation will be GFP_NOFS due to
the task flag PF_TRANS being set. The blocking read calls occur during log
recovery, so they will probably be unaffected by converting to GFP_NOFS
allocations.
Hence make XBF_DONTBLOCK behaviour always occur for buffers and kill the flag.

Now that we pass block counts everywhere, and index buffers by block
number and length in units of blocks, convert the desired IO size
into block counts rather than bytes. Convert the code to use block
counts, and those that need byte counts get converted at the time of
use.
Rename the b_desired_count variable to something closer to it's
purpose - b_io_length - as it is only used to specify the length of
an IO for a subset of the buffer. The only time this is used is for
log IO - both writing iclogs and during log recovery. In all other
cases, the b_io_length matches b_length, and hence a lot of code
confuses the two. e.g. the buf item code uses the io count
exclusively when it should be using the buffer length. Fix these
apprpriately as they are found.
Also, remove the XFS_BUF_{SET_}COUNT() macros that are just wrappers
around the desired IO length. They only serve to make the code
shouty loud, don't actually add any real value, and are often used

If we call xfs_buf_iowait() on a buffer that failed dispatch due to
an IO error, it will wait forever for an Io that does not exist.
This is hndled in xfs_buf_read, but there is other code that calls
xfs_buf_iowait directly that doesn't.
Rather than make the call sites have to handle checking for dispatch
errors and then checking for completion errors, make
xfs_buf_iowait() check for dispatch errors on the buffer before
waiting. This means we handle both dispatch and completion errors
with one set of error handling at the caller sites.

Queue delwri buffers on a local on-stack list instead of a per-buftarg one,
and write back the buffers per-process instead of by waking up xfsbufd.
This is now easily doable given that we have very few places left that write
delwri buffers:
- log recovery:
Only done at mount time, and already forcing out the buffers
synchronously using xfs_flush_buftarg
- quotacheck:
Same story.
- dquot reclaim:
Writes out dirty dquots on the LRU under memory pressure. We might
want to look into doing more of this via xfsaild, but it's already
more optimal than the synchronous inode reclaim that writes each
buffer synchronously.
- xfsaild:
This is the main beneficiary of the change. By keeping a local list
of buffers to write we reduce latency of writing out buffers, and
more importably we can remove all the delwri list promotions which
were hitting the buffer cache hard under sustained metadata loads.
The implementation is very straight forward - xfs_buf_delwri_queue now gets
a new list_head pointer that it adds the delwri buffers to, and all callers
need to eventually submit the list using xfs_buf_delwi_submit or
xfs_buf_delwi_submit_nowait. Buffers that already are on a delwri list are
skipped in xfs_buf_delwri_queue, assuming they already are on another delwri
list. The biggest change to pass down the buffer list was done to the AIL
pushing. Now that we operate on buffers the trylock, push and pushbuf log
item methods are merged into a single push routine, which tries to lock the
item, and if possible add the buffer that needs writeback to the buffer list.
This leads to much simpler code than the previous split but requires the
individual IOP_PUSH instances to unlock and reacquire the AIL around calls
to blocking routines.
Given that xfsailds now also handle writing out buffers, the conditions for
log forcing and the sleep times needed some small changes. The most
important one is that we consider an AIL busy as long we still have buffers
to push, and the other one is that we do increment the pushed LSN for
buffers that are under flushing at this moment, but still count them towards
the stuck items for restart purposes. Without this we could hammer on stuck
items without ever forcing the log and not make progress under heavy random
delete workloads on fast flash storage devices.
[ Dave Chinner:
- rebase on previous patches.
- improved comments for XBF_DELWRI_Q handling
- fix XBF_ASYNC handling in queue submission (test 106 failure)
- rename delwri submit function buffer list parameters for clarity
- xfs_efd_item_push() should return XFS_ITEM_PINNED ]
