In doing an investigation into AIL push stalls, I was looking at the
log force code to see if an async CIL push could be done instead.
This lead me to xfs_log_force_lsn() and looking at how it works.
xfs_log_force_lsn() is only called from inode synchronisation
contexts such as fsync(), and it takes the ip->i_itemp->ili_last_lsn
value as the LSN to sync the log to. This gets passed to
xlog_cil_force_lsn() via xfs_log_force_lsn() to flush the CIL to the
journal, and then used by xfs_log_force_lsn() to flush the iclogs to
the journal.
The problem is that ip->i_itemp->ili_last_lsn does not store a
log sequence number. What it stores is passed to it from the
->iop_committing method, which is called by xfs_log_commit_cil().
The value this passes to the iop_committing method is the CIL
context sequence number that the item was committed to.
As it turns out, xlog_cil_force_lsn() converts the sequence to an
actual commit LSN for the related context and returns that to
xfs_log_force_lsn(). xfs_log_force_lsn() overwrites it's "lsn"
variable that contained a sequence with an actual LSN and then uses
that to sync the iclogs.
This caused me some confusion for a while, even though I originally
wrote all this code a decade ago. ->iop_committing is only used by
a couple of log item types, and only inode items use the sequence
number it is passed.
Let's clean up the API, CIL structures and inode log item to call it
a sequence number, and make it clear that the high level code is
using CIL sequence numbers and not on-disk LSNs for integrity
synchronisation purposes.

With the recent rework of the inode cluster flushing, we no longer
ever wait on the the inode flush "lock". It was never a lock in the
first place, just a completion to allow callers to wait for inode IO
to complete. We now never wait for flush completion as all inode
flushing is non-blocking. Hence we can get rid of all the iflock
infrastructure and instead just set and check a state flag.
Rename the XFS_IFLOCK flag to XFS_IFLUSHING, convert all the
xfs_iflock_nowait() test-and-set operations on that flag, and

Having different io completion callbacks for different inode states
makes things complex. We can detect if the inode is stale via the
XFS_ISTALE flag in IO completion, so we don't need a special
callback just for this.
This means inodes only have a single iodone callback, and inode IO
completion is entirely buffer centric at this point. Hence we no
longer need to use a log item callback at all as we can just call
xfs_iflush_done() directly from the buffer completions and walk the
buffer log item list to complete the all inodes under IO.

The inode log item is kind of special in that it can be aggregating
new changes in memory at the same time time existing changes are
being written back to disk. This means there are fields in the log
item that are accessed concurrently from contexts that don't share
any locking at all.
e.g. updating ili_last_fields occurs at flush time under the
ILOCK_EXCL and flush lock at flush time, under the flush lock at IO
completion time, and is read under the ILOCK_EXCL when the inode is
logged. Hence there is no actual serialisation between reading the
field during logging of the inode in transactions vs clearing the
field in IO completion.
We currently get away with this by the fact that we are only
clearing fields in IO completion, and nothing bad happens if we
accidentally log more of the inode than we actually modify. Worst
case is we consume a tiny bit more memory and log bandwidth.
However, if we want to do more complex state manipulations on the
log item that requires updates at all three of these potential
locations, we need to have some mechanism of serialising those
operations. To do this, introduce a spinlock into the log item to
serialise internal state.
This could be done via the xfs_inode i_flags_lock, but this then
leads to potential lock inversion issues where inode flag updates
need to occur inside locks that best nest inside the inode log item
locks (e.g. marking inodes stale during inode cluster freeing).
Using a separate spinlock avoids these sorts of problems and
simplifies future code.
This does not touch the use of ili_fields in the item formatting
code - that is entirely protected by the ILOCK_EXCL at this point in
time, so it remains untouched.

xfs: timestamp updates cause excessive fdatasync log traffic
Sage Weil reported that a ceph test workload was writing to the
log on every fdatasync during an overwrite workload. Event tracing
showed that the only metadata modification being made was the
timestamp updates during the write(2) syscall, but fdatasync(2)
is supposed to ignore them. The key observation was that the
transactions in the log all looked like this:
INODE: #regs: 4 ino: 0x8b flags: 0x45 dsize: 32
And contained a flags field of 0x45 or 0x85, and had data and
attribute forks following the inode core. This means that the
timestamp updates were triggering dirty relogging of previously
logged parts of the inode that hadn't yet been flushed back to
disk.
There are two parts to this problem. The first is that XFS relogs
dirty regions in subsequent transactions, so it carries around the
fields that have been dirtied since the last time the inode was
written back to disk, not since the last time the inode was forced
into the log.
The second part is that on v5 filesystems, the inode change count
update during inode dirtying also sets the XFS_ILOG_CORE flag, so
on v5 filesystems this makes a timestamp update dirty the entire
inode.
As a result when fdatasync is run, it looks at the dirty fields in
the inode, and sees more than just the timestamp flag, even though
the only metadata change since the last fdatasync was just the
timestamps. Hence we force the log on every subsequent fdatasync
even though it is not needed.
To fix this, add a new field to the inode log item that tracks
changes since the last time fsync/fdatasync forced the log to flush
the changes to the journal. This flag is updated when we dirty the
inode, but we do it before updating the change count so it does not
carry the "core dirty" flag from timestamp updates. The fields are
zeroed when the inode is marked clean (due to writeback/freeing) or
when an fsync/datasync forces the log. Hence if we only dirty the
timestamps on the inode between fsync/fdatasync calls, the fdatasync
will not trigger another log force.

This patches instead makes xfs_trans_ijoin usable on it's own by doing

argument. For the case where we want to hold a reference on the inode
a xfs_trans_ijoin_ref wrapper is added which does the IHOLD and marks
the inode for needing an xfs_iput. In addition to the cleaner interface

All buffers logged into the AIL are marked as delayed write.
When the AIL needs to push the buffer out, it issues an async write of the
buffer. This means that IO patterns are dependent on the order of
buffers in the AIL.
Instead of flushing the buffer, promote the buffer in the delayed
write list so that the next time the xfsbufd is run the buffer will
be flushed by the xfsbufd. Return the state to the xfsaild that the
buffer was promoted so that the xfsaild knows that it needs to cause
the xfsbufd to run to flush the buffers that were promoted.
Using the xfsbufd for issuing the IO allows us to dispatch all
buffer IO from the one queue. This means that we can make much more
enlightened decisions on what order to flush buffers to disk as
we don't have multiple places issuing IO. Optimisations to xfsbufd
will be in a future patch.

xfs_trans_iget is a wrapper for xfs_iget that adds the inode to the
transaction after it is read. Except when the inode already is in the
inode cache, in which case it returns the existing locked inode with
increment lock recursion counts.
Now, no one in the tree every decrements these lock recursion counts,
so any user of this gets a potential double unlock when both the original
owner of the inode and the xfs_trans_iget caller unlock it. When looking
back in a git bisect in the historic XFS tree there was only one place
that decremented these counts, xfs_trans_iput. Introduced in commit
ca25df7a840f426eb566d52667b6950b92bb84b5 by Adam Sweeney in 1993,
and removed in commit 19f899a3ab155ff6a49c0c79b06f2f61059afaf3 by
Steve Lord in 2003. And as long as it didn't slip through git bisects
cracks never actually used in that time frame.
A quick audit of the callers of xfs_trans_iget shows that no caller
really relies on this behaviour fortunately - xfs_ialloc allows this
inode from disk so it must not be there before, and all the RT allocator
routines only every add each RT bitmap inode once.
In addition to removing lots of code and reducing the size of the inode
item this patch also avoids the double inode cache lookup in each
create/mkdir/mknod transaction.
