XFS has some inconsistent log message rate limiting with respect to
buffer alerts. The metadata I/O error notification uses the generic
ratelimited alert, the buffer push code uses a custom rate limit and
the similar quiesce time failure checks are not rate limited at all
(when they should be).
The custom rate limit defined in the buf item code is specifically
crafted for buffer alerts. It is more aggressive than generic rate
limiting code because it must accommodate a high frequency of I/O
error events in a relative short timeframe.
Factor out the custom rate limit state from the buf item code into a
per-buftarg rate limit so various alerts are limited based on the
target. Define a buffer alert helper function and use it for the
buffer alerts that are already ratelimited.

Flush locked log items whose underlying buffers fail metadata
writeback are tagged with a special flag to indicate that the flush
lock is already held. This is currently implemented in the type
specific ->iop_push() callback, but the processing required for such
items is not type specific because we're only doing basic state
management on the underlying buffer.
Factor the failed log item handling out of the inode and dquot
->iop_push() callbacks and open code the buffer resubmit helper into
a single helper called from xfsaild_push_item(). This provides a
generic mechanism for handling failed metadata buffer writeback with
a bit less code.

The iop_unlock method is called when comitting or cancelling a
transaction. In the latter case, the transaction may or may not be
aborted. While there is no known problem with the current code in
practice, this implementation is limited in that any log item
implementation that might want to differentiate between a commit and a
cancellation must rely on the aborted state. The aborted bit is only
set when the cancelled transaction is dirty, however. This means that
there is no way to distinguish between a commit and a clean transaction
cancellation.
For example, intent log items currently rely on this distinction. The
log item is either transferred to the CIL on commit or released on
transaction cancel. There is currently no possibility for a clean intent
log item in a transaction, but if that state is ever introduced a cancel
of such a transaction will immediately result in memory leaks of the
associated log item(s). This is an interface deficiency and landmine.
To clean this up, replace the iop_unlock method with an iop_release
method that is specific to transaction cancel. The existing
iop_committing method occurs at the same time as iop_unlock in the
commit path and there is no need for two separate callbacks here.
Overload the iop_committing method with the current commit time
iop_unlock implementations to eliminate the need for the latter and
further simplify the interface.

When retrying a failed inode or dquot buffer,
xfs_buf_resubmit_failed_buffers() clears all the failed flags from
the inde/dquot log items. In doing so, it also drops all the
reference counts on the buffer that the failed log items hold. This
means it can drop all the active references on the buffer and hence
free the buffer before it queues it for write again.
Putting the buffer on the delwri queue takes a reference to the
buffer (so that it hangs around until it has been written and
completed), but this goes bang if the buffer has already been freed.
Hence we need to add the buffer to the delwri queue before we remove
the failed flags from the log items attached to the buffer to ensure
it always remains referenced during the resubmit process.

The xfs_buf_log_item structure has a reference counter with slightly
tricky semantics. In the common case, a buffer is logged and
committed in a transaction, committed to the on-disk log (added to
the AIL) and then finally written back and removed from the AIL. The
bli refcount covers two potentially overlapping timeframes:
1. the bli is held in an active transaction
2. the bli is pinned by the log
The caveat to this approach is that the reference counter does not
purely dictate the lifetime of the bli. IOW, when a dirty buffer is
physically logged and unpinned, the bli refcount may go to zero as
the log item is inserted into the AIL. Only once the buffer is
written back can the bli finally be freed.
The above semantics means that it is not enough for the various
refcount decrementing contexts to release the bli on decrement to
zero. xfs_trans_brelse(), transaction commit (->iop_unlock()) and
unpin (->iop_unpin()) must all drop the associated reference and
make additional checks to determine if the current context is
responsible for freeing the item.
For example, if a transaction holds but does not dirty a particular
bli, the commit may drop the refcount to zero. If the bli itself is
clean, it is also not AIL resident and must be freed at this time.
The same is true for xfs_trans_brelse(). If the transaction dirties
a bli and then aborts or an unpin results in an abort due to a log
I/O error, the last reference count holder is expected to explicitly
remove the item from the AIL and release it (since an abort means
filesystem shutdown and metadata writeback will never occur).
This leads to fairly complex checks being replicated in a few
different places. Since ->iop_unlock() and xfs_trans_brelse() are
nearly identical, refactor the logic into a common helper that
implements and documents the semantics in one place. This patch does
not change behavior.

xfstests generic/388,475 occasionally reproduce assertion failures
in xfs_buf_item_unpin() when the final bli reference is dropped on
an invalidated buffer and the buffer is not locked as it is expected
to be. Invalidated buffers should remain locked on transaction
commit until the final unpin, at which point the buffer is removed
from the AIL and the bli is freed since stale buffers are not
written back.
The assert failures are associated with filesystem shutdown,
typically due to log I/O errors injected by the test. The
problematic situation can occur if the shutdown happens to cause a
race between an active transaction that has invalidated a particular
buffer and an I/O error on a log buffer that contains the bli
associated with the same (now stale) buffer.
Both transaction and log contexts acquire a bli reference. If the
transaction has already invalidated the buffer by the time the I/O
error occurs and ends up aborting due to shutdown, the transaction
and log hold the last two references to a stale bli. If the
transaction cancel occurs first, it treats the buffer as non-stale
due to the aborted state: the bli reference is dropped and the
buffer is released/unlocked. The log buffer I/O error handling
eventually calls into xfs_buf_item_unpin(), drops the final
reference to the bli and treats it as stale. The buffer wasn't left
locked by xfs_buf_item_unlock(), however, so the assert fails and
the buffer is double unlocked. The latter problem is mitigated by
the fact that the fs is shutdown and no further damage is possible.
->iop_unlock() of an invalidated buffer should behave consistently
with respect to the bli refcount, regardless of aborted state. If
the refcount remains elevated on commit, we know the bli is awaiting
an unpin (since it can't be in another transaction) and will be
handled appropriately on log buffer completion. If the final bli
reference of an invalidated buffer is dropped in ->iop_unlock(), we
can assume the transaction has aborted because invalidation implies
a dirty transaction. In the non-abort case, the log would have
acquired a bli reference in ->iop_pin() and prevented bli release at
->iop_unlock() time. In the abort case the item must be freed and
buffer unlocked because it wasn't pinned by the log.
Rework xfs_buf_item_unlock() to simplify the currently circuitous
and duplicate logic and leave invalidated buffers locked based on
bli refcount, regardless of aborted state. This ensures that a
pinned, stale buffer is always found locked when eventually
unpinned.

This way, there is no more need to reorder the log items list to place

This also opens the possibility to change buffer's log items list into a

xfs_buf_item_unlock() historically checked the dirty state of the

segments. The introduction of ordered buffers invalidated this check
because ordered buffers have dirty bli's but no dirty (logged)
segments. The check was updated to accommodate ordered buffers by
looking at the bli state first and considering the blf only if the
bli is clean.
This logic is safe but unnecessary. There is no valid case where the
bli is clean yet the blf has dirty segments. The bli is set dirty
whenever the blf is logged (via xfs_trans_log_buf()) and the blf is
cleared in the only place BLI_DIRTY is cleared (xfs_trans_binval()).
Remove the conditional blf dirty checks and replace with an assert
that should catch any discrepencies between bli and blf dirty
states. Refactor the old blf dirty check into a helper function to

When a buffer has been failed during writeback, the inode items into it
are kept flush locked, and are never resubmitted due the flush lock, so,
if any buffer fails to be written, the items in AIL are never written to
disk and never unlocked.
This causes unmount operation to hang due these items flush locked in AIL,
but this also causes the items in AIL to never be written back, even when
the IO device comes back to normal.
I've been testing this patch with a DM-thin device, creating a
filesystem larger than the real device.
When writing enough data to fill the DM-thin device, XFS receives ENOSPC
errors from the device, and keep spinning on xfsaild (when 'retry
forever' configuration is set).
At this point, the filesystem can not be unmounted because of the flush locked
items in AIL, but worse, the items in AIL are never retried at all
(once xfs_inode_item_push() will skip the items that are flush locked),
even if the underlying DM-thin device is expanded to the proper size.
This patch fixes both cases, retrying any item that has been failed
previously, using the infra-structure provided by the previous patch.

When a buffer is modified, logged and committed, it ultimately ends
up sitting on the AIL with a dirty bli waiting for metadata
writeback. If another transaction locks and invalidates the buffer
(freeing an inode chunk, for example) in the meantime, the bli is
flagged as stale, the dirty state is cleared and the bli remains in
the AIL.
If a shutdown occurs before the transaction that has invalidated the
buffer is committed, the transaction is ultimately aborted. The log
items are flagged as such and ->iop_unlock() handles the aborted
items. Because the bli is clean (due to the invalidation),
->iop_unlock() unconditionally releases it. The log item may still
reside in the AIL, however, which means the I/O completion handler
may still run and attempt to access it. This results in assert
failure due to the release of the bli while still present in the AIL
and a subsequent NULL dereference and panic in the buffer I/O
completion handling. This can be reproduced by running generic/388
in repetition.
To avoid this problem, update xfs_buf_item_unlock() to first check
whether the bli is aborted and if so, remove it from the AIL before
it is released. This ensures that the bli is no longer accessed
during the shutdown sequence after it has been freed.

As it stands today, the "fail immediately" vs. "retry forever"
values for max_retries and retry_timeout_seconds in the xfs metadata
error configurations are not consistent.
A retry_timeout_seconds of 0 means "retry forever," but a
max_retries of 0 means "fail immediately."
retry_timeout_seconds < 0 is disallowed, while max_retries == -1
means "retry forever."
Make this consistent across the error configs, such that a value of
0 means "fail immediately" (i.e. wait 0 seconds, or retry 0 times),
and a value of -1 always means "retry forever."
This makes retry_timeout a signed long to accommodate the -1, even
though it stores jiffies. Given our limit of a 1 day maximum
timeout, this should be sufficient even at much higher HZ values
than we have available today.

One of the problems we currently have with delayed logging is that
under serious memory pressure we can deadlock memory reclaim. THis
occurs when memory reclaim (such as run by kswapd) is reclaiming XFS
inodes and issues a log force to unpin inodes that are dirty in the
CIL.
The CIL is pushed, but this will only occur once it gets the CIL
context lock to ensure that all committing transactions are complete
and no new transactions start being committed to the CIL while the
push switches to a new context.
The deadlock occurs when the CIL context lock is held by a
committing process that is doing memory allocation for log vector
buffers, and that allocation is then blocked on memory reclaim
making progress. Memory reclaim, however, is blocked waiting for
a log force to make progress, and so we effectively deadlock at this
point.
To solve this problem, we have to move the CIL log vector buffer
allocation outside of the context lock so that memory reclaim can
always make progress when it needs to force the log. The problem
with doing this is that a CIL push can take place while we are
determining if we need to allocate a new log vector buffer for
an item and hence the current log vector may go away without
warning. That means we canot rely on the existing log vector being
present when we finally grab the context lock and so we must have a
replacement buffer ready to go at all times.
To ensure this, introduce a "shadow log vector" buffer that is
always guaranteed to be present when we gain the CIL context lock
and format the item. This shadow buffer may or may not be used
during the formatting, but if the log item does not have an existing
log vector buffer or that buffer is too small for the new
modifications, we swap it for the new shadow buffer and format
the modifications into that new log vector buffer.
The result of this is that for any object we modify more than once
in a given CIL checkpoint, we double the memory required
to track dirty regions in the log. For single modifications then
we consume the shadow log vectorwe allocate on commit, and that gets
consumed by the checkpoint. However, if we make multiple
modifications, then the second transaction commit will allocate a
shadow log vector and hence we will end up with double the memory
usage as only one of the log vectors is consumed by the CIL
checkpoint. The remaining shadow vector will be freed when th elog
item is freed.
This can probably be optimised in future - access to the shadow log
vector is serialised by the object lock (as opposited to the active
log vector, which is controlled by the CIL context lock) and so we
can probably free shadow log vector from some objects when the log
item is marked clean on removal from the AIL.

With the code as it stands today, b_retries never increments because
it gets reset to 0 in the error callback.
Remove that, and fix a similar problem where the first retry time
was constantly being overwritten, which defeated the timeout tunable
as well. We now only set first retry time if a non-zero timeout is
set, to match the behavior of only incrementing retries if a retry
value is set.
This way max retries & timeouts consistently take effect after a
tunable is set, rather than acting retroactively on a buffer which
has failed at some point in the past and has accumulated state from
those prior failures.

Multi-block buffers are logged based on buffer offset in
xfs_trans_log_buf(). xfs_buf_item_log() ultimately walks each mapping in
the buffer and marks the associated range to be logged in the
xfs_buf_log_format bitmap for that mapping. This code is broken,
however, in that it marks the actual buffer offsets of the associated
range in each bitmap rather than shifting to the byte range for that
particular mapping.
For example, on a 4k fsb fs, buffer offset 4096 refers to the first byte
of the second mapping in the buffer. This means byte 0 of the second log
format bitmap should be tagged as dirty. Instead, the current code marks
byte offset 4096 of the second log format bitmap, which is invalid and
potentially out of range of the mapping.
As a result of this, the log item format code invoked at transaction
commit time is not be able to correctly identify what parts of the
buffer to copy into log vectors. This can lead to NULL log vector
pointer dereferences in CIL push context if the item format code was not
able to locate any dirty ranges at all. This crash has been reproduced
on a 4k FSB filesystem using 16k directory blocks where an unlink
operation happened not to log anything in the first block of the
mapping. The logged offsets were all over 4k, marked as such in the
subsequent log format mappings, and thus left the transaction with an
xfs_log_item that is marked DIRTY but without any logged regions.
Further, even when the logged regions are marked correctly in the buffer
log format bitmaps, the format code doesn't copy the correct ranges of
the buffer into the log. This means that any logged region beyond the
first block of a multi-block buffer is subject to corruption after a
crash and log recovery sequence. This is due to a failure to convert the
mapping bm_len field from basic blocks to bytes in the buffer offset
tracking code in xfs_buf_item_format().
Update xfs_buf_item_log() to convert buffer offsets to segment relative
offsets when logging multi-block buffers. This ensures that the modified
regions of a buffer are logged correctly and avoids the aforementioned
crash. Also update xfs_buf_item_format() to correctly track the source
offset into the buffer for the log vector formatting code. This ensures
that the correct data is copied into the log.

If we take "retry forever" literally on metadata IO errors, we can
hang at unmount, once it retries those writes forever. This is the
default behavior, unfortunately.
Add an error configuration option for this behavior and default it
to "fail" so that an unmount will trigger actuall errors, a shutdown
and allow the unmount to succeed. It will be noisy, though, as it
will log the errors and shutdown that occurs.
To fix this, we need to mark the filesystem as being in the process
of unmounting. Do this with a mount flag that is added at the
appropriate time (i.e. before the blocking AIL sync). We also need
to add this flag if mount fails after the initial phase of log

Pull this pattern into a single helper, where we can hide all the

In doing this, also rename xfs_buf_iorequest to xfs_buf_submit and
make it explicitly handle on asynchronous IO. This forces all users

removes any ambiguity between how the interfaces are to be used. It

If we are doing aysnc writeback of metadata, we can get write errors
but have nobody to report them to. At the moment, we simply attempt
to reissue the write from io completion in the hope that it's a
transient error.
When it's not a transient error, the buffer is stuck forever in
this loop, and we cannot break out of it. Eventually, unmount will
hang because the AIL cannot be emptied and everything goes downhill
from them.
To solve this problem, only retry the write IO once before aborting
it. We don't throw the buffer away because some transient errors can
last minutes (e.g. FC path failover) or even hours (thin
provisioned devices that have run out of backing space) before they
go away. Hence we really want to keep trying until we can't try any
more.
Because the buffer was not cleaned, however, it does not get removed
from the AIL and hence the next pass across the AIL will start IO on
it again. As such, we still get the "retry forever" semantics that
we currently have, but we allow other access to the buffer in the
mean time. Meanwhile the filesystem can continue to modify the
buffer and relog it, so the IO errors won't hang the log or the
filesystem.
Now when we are pushing the AIL, we can see all these "permanent IO
error" buffers and we can issue a warning about failures before we
retry the IO. We can also catch these buffers when unmounting an
issue a corruption warning, too.

maintained. Hence we must not move the tail of the log past the
transaction that the buffer is associated with before the buffer is
written to disk.
This means these special buffers still need to be included in the
transaction and added to the AIL just like a normal buffer, but we
do not want the modifications to the buffer written into the
transaction. IOWs, what we want is an "ordered buffer" that
maintains the same transactional life cycle as a physically logged
buffer, just without the transcribing of the modifications to the
log.
Hence we need to flag the buffer as an "ordered buffer" to avoid
including it in vector size calculations or formatting during the
transaction. Once the transaction is committed, the buffer appears
for all intents to be the same as a physically logged buffer as it
transitions through the log and AIL.
Relogging will also work just fine for such an ordered buffer - the
logical transaction will be replayed before the subsequent
modifications that relog the buffer, so everything will be

A long time ago in a galaxy far away....

http://oss.sgi.com/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=archive/xfs-import.git;a=commitdiff;h=b29c0bece51da72fb3ff3b61391a391ea54e1603
That problem occurred when a contiguous dirty region of a buffer was
split across across two pages of an unmapped buffer. It's been a
long time since that has been done in XFS, and the changes to log
the entire inode buffers for CRC enabled filesystems has
re-introduced that corner case.
And, of course, it turns out that the above commit didn't actually
fix anything - it just ensured that log recovery is guaranteed to
fail when this situation occurs. And now for the gory details.
xfstest xfs/085 is failing with this assert:
XFS (vdb): bad number of regions (0) in inode log format
XFS: Assertion failed: 0, file: fs/xfs/xfs_log_recover.c, line: 1583
Largely undocumented factoid #1: Log recovery depends on all log
buffer format items starting with this format:
struct foo_log_format {
__uint16_t type;
__uint16_t size;
....
As recoery uses the size field and assumptions about 32 bit
alignment in decoding format items. So don't pay much attention to
the fact log recovery thinks that it decoding an inode log format
item - it just uses them to determine what the size of the item is.
But why would it see a log format item with a zero size? Well,
luckily enough xfs_logprint uses the same code and gives the same
error, so with a bit of gdb magic, it turns out that it isn't a log
format that is being decoded. What logprint tells us is this:
Oper (130): tid: a0375e1a len: 28 clientid: TRANS flags: none
BUF: #regs: 2 start blkno: 144 (0x90) len: 16 bmap size: 2 flags: 0x4000

xfs_logprint: unknown log operation type (4e49)
**********************************************************************
* ERROR: data block=2 *
**********************************************************************
That we've got a buffer format item (oper 130) that has two regions;
the format item itself and one dirty region. The subsequent region
after the buffer format item and it's data is them what we are
tripping over, and the first bytes of it at an inode magic number.
Not a log opheader like there is supposed to be.
That means there's a problem with the buffer format item. It's dirty
data region is 4096 bytes, and it contains - you guessed it -
initialised inodes. But inode buffers are 8k, not 4k, and we log
them in their entirety. So something is wrong here. The buffer
format item contains:

blf_len = 0x10, blf_blkno = 0x90, blf_map_size = 0x2,
blf_data_map = {0xffffffff, 0xffffffff, .... }}
Two regions, and a signle dirty contiguous region of 64 bits. 64 *
128 = 8k, so this should be followed by a single 8k region of data.
And the blf_flags tell us that the type of buffer is a
XFS_BLFT_DINO_BUF. It contains inodes. And because it doesn't have
the XFS_BLF_INODE_BUF flag set, that means it's an inode allocation
buffer. So, it should be followed by 8k of inode data.
But we know that the next region has a header of:
(gdb) p /x *ohead
$25 = {oh_tid = 0x1a5e37a0, oh_len = 0x100000, oh_clientid = 0x69,
oh_flags = 0x0, oh_res2 = 0x0}
and so be32_to_cpu(oh_len) = 0x1000 = 4096 bytes. It's simply not
long enough to hold all the logged data. There must be another
region. There is - there's a following opheader for another 4k of
data that contains the other half of the inode cluster data - the
one we assert fail on because it's not a log format header.
So why is the second part of the data not being accounted to the
correct buffer log format structure? It took a little more work with
gdb to work out that the buffer log format structure was both
expecting it to be there but hadn't accounted for it. It was at that
point I went to the kernel code, as clearly this wasn't a bug in
xfs_logprint and the kernel was writing bad stuff to the log.
First port of call was the buffer item formatting code, and the
discontiguous memory/contiguous dirty region handling code
immediately stood out. I've wondered for a long time why the code
had this comment in it:
vecp->i_addr = xfs_buf_offset(bp, buffer_offset);
vecp->i_len = nbits * XFS_BLF_CHUNK;
vecp->i_type = XLOG_REG_TYPE_BCHUNK;
/*
* You would think we need to bump the nvecs here too, but we do not
* this number is used by recovery, and it gets confused by the boundary
* split here
* nvecs++;
*/
vecp++;
And it didn't account for the extra vector pointer. The case being
handled here is that a contiguous dirty region lies across a
boundary that cannot be memcpy()d across, and so has to be split
into two separate operations for xlog_write() to perform.
What this code assumes is that what is written to the log is two
consecutive blocks of data that are accounted in the buf log format
item as the same contiguous dirty region and so will get decoded as
such by the log recovery code.
The thing is, xlog_write() knows nothing about this, and so just
does it's normal thing of adding an opheader for each vector. That
means the 8k region gets written to the log as two separate regions
of 4k each, but because nvecs has not been incremented, the buf log
format item accounts for only one of them.
Hence when we come to log recovery, we process the first 4k region
and then expect to come across a new item that starts with a log
format structure of some kind that tells us whenteh next data is
going to be. Instead, we hit raw buffer data and things go bad real
quick.
So, the commit from 2002 that commented out nvecs++ is just plain
wrong. It breaks log recovery completely, and it would seem the only
reason this hasn't been since then is that we don't log large
contigous regions of multi-page unmapped buffers very often. Never
would be a closer estimate, at least until the CRC code came along....
So, lets fix that by restoring the nvecs accounting for the extra
region when we hit this case.....
.... and there's the problemin log recovery it is apparently working
around:
XFS: Assertion failed: i == item->ri_total, file: fs/xfs/xfs_log_recover.c, line: 2135
Yup, xlog_recover_do_reg_buffer() doesn't handle contigous dirty
regions being broken up into multiple regions by the log formatting
code. That's an easy fix, though - if the number of contiguous dirty
bits exceeds the length of the region being copied out of the log,
only account for the number of dirty bits that region covers, and
then loop again and copy more from the next region. It's a 2 line
fix.
Now xfstests xfs/085 passes, we have one less piece of mystery
code, and one more important piece of knowledge about how to
structure new log format items..

The buffer pinned check and trylock sequence in xfs_buf_item_push()
can race with an active transaction on marking the buffer pinned.
This can result in the buffer becoming pinned and stale after the
initial check and the trylock failure, but before the check in
xfs_buf_trylock() that issues a log force. If the log force is
issued from this context, a spinlock recursion occurs on xa_lock.
Prepare xfs_buf_item_push() to handle the race by detecting a
pinned buffer after the trylock failure so xfsaild issues a log
force from a safe context. This, along with various previous fixes,
renders the log force in xfs_buf_trylock() redundant.

When the new inode verify in xfs_iread() fails, the create

then hangs in xfs_wait_buftarg() on a buffer that has an elevated
hold count. Debug showed that it was an AGI buffer getting stuck:

[ 23.776325] XFS (vdb): buffer 0x2/0x1, hold 0x2 stuck

And that is the AGI buffer from cold cache read into memory to
transaction abort. You can see at transaction abort the bli is dirty
and only has a single reference. The item is not pinned, and it's
not in the AIL. Hence the only reference to it is this transaction.
The problem is that the xfs_buf_item_unlock() call is dropping the
last reference to the xfs_buf_log_item attached to the buffer (which
holds a reference to the buffer), but it is not freeing the
xfs_buf_log_item. Hence nothing will ever release the buffer, and
the unmount hangs waiting for this reference to go away.
The fix is simple - xfs_buf_item_unlock needs to detect the last
reference going away in this case and free the xfs_buf_log_item to
release the reference it holds on the buffer.

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.

discontigous buffer in separate buffer format structures. This means log
recovery will recover all the changes on a per segment basis without
requiring any knowledge of the fact that it was logged from a
compound buffer.
To do this, we need to be able to determine what buffer segment any
given offset into the compound buffer sits over. This enables us to
translate the dirty bitmap in the number of separate buffer format
structures required.
We also need to be able to determine the number of bitmap elements
that a given buffer segment has, as this determines the size of the
buffer format structure. Hence we need to be able to determine the
both the start offset into the buffer and the length of a given
segment to be able to calculate this.
With this information, we can preallocate, build and format the
correct log vector array for each segment in a compound buffer to
appear exactly the same as individually logged buffers in the log.

The struct xfs_buf_log_format wants to think the dirty bitmap is
variable sized. In fact, it is variable size on disk simply due to
the way we map it from the in-memory structure, but we still just
use a fixed size memory allocation for the in-memory structure.
Hence it makes no sense to set the function up as a variable sized
structure when we already know it's maximum size, and we always
allocate it as such. Simplify the structure by making the dirty
bitmap a fixed sized array and just using the size of the structure
for the allocation size.
This will make it much simpler to allocate and manipulate an array
of format structures for discontiguous buffer support.
The previous struct xfs_buf_log_item size according to
/proc/slabinfo was 224 bytes. pahole doesn't give the same size
because of the variable size definition. With this modification,
pahole reports the same as /proc/slabinfo:
/* size: 224, cachelines: 4, members: 6 */
Because the xfs_buf_log_item size is now determined by the maximum
supported block size we introduce a dependency on xfs_alloc_btree.h.
Avoid this dependency by moving the idefines for the maximum block
sizes supported to xfs_types.h with all the other max/min type
defines to avoid any new dependencies.

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

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.

- improved comments for XBF_DELWRI_Q handling

even if they can't be written until commited because they are pinned
defer adding them to the delwri list until xfsaild pushes them. This
