When modifying PG_Dirty on cached file pages, update the new
MEM_CGROUP_STAT_DIRTY counter. This is done in the same places where
global NR_FILE_DIRTY is managed. The new memcg stat is visible in the
per memcg memory.stat cgroupfs file. The most recent past attempt at
this was http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.cgroups/8632
The new accounting supports future efforts to add per cgroup dirty
page throttling and writeback. It also helps an administrator break
down a container's memory usage and provides evidence to understand
memcg oom kills (the new dirty count is included in memcg oom kill
messages).
The ability to move page accounting between memcg
(memory.move_charge_at_immigrate) makes this accounting more
complicated than the global counter. The existing
mem_cgroup_{begin,end}_page_stat() lock is used to serialize move
accounting with stat updates.
Typical update operation:
memcg = mem_cgroup_begin_page_stat(page)
if (TestSetPageDirty()) {
[...]
mem_cgroup_update_page_stat(memcg)
}
mem_cgroup_end_page_stat(memcg)
Summary of mem_cgroup_end_page_stat() overhead:
- Without CONFIG_MEMCG it's a no-op
- With CONFIG_MEMCG and no inter memcg task movement, it's just
rcu_read_lock()
- With CONFIG_MEMCG and inter memcg task movement, it's
rcu_read_lock() + spin_lock_irqsave()
A memcg parameter is added to several routines because their callers
now grab mem_cgroup_begin_page_stat() which returns the memcg later
needed by for mem_cgroup_update_page_stat().
Because mem_cgroup_begin_page_stat() may disable interrupts, some
adjustments are needed:
- move __mark_inode_dirty() from __set_page_dirty() to its caller.
__mark_inode_dirty() locking does not want interrupts disabled.
- use spin_lock_irqsave(tree_lock) rather than spin_lock_irq() in
__delete_from_page_cache(), replace_page_cache_page(),
invalidate_complete_page2(), and __remove_mapping().

Struct bio has a reference count that controls when it can be freed.
Most uses cases is allocating the bio, which then returns with a
single reference to it, doing IO, and then dropping that single
reference. We can remove this atomic_dec_and_test() in the completion
path, if nobody else is holding a reference to the bio.
If someone does call bio_get() on the bio, then we flag the bio as
now having valid count and that we must properly honor the reference
count when it's being put.

Pull xfs update from Dave Chinner:
"This update contains:
- RENAME_WHITEOUT support
- conversion of per-cpu superblock accounting to use generic counters
- new inode mmap lock so that we can lock page faults out of
truncate, hole punch and other direct extent manipulation functions
to avoid racing mmap writes from causing data corruption
- rework of direct IO submission and completion to solve data
corruption issue when running concurrent extending DIO writes.
Also solves problem of running IO completion transactions in
interrupt context during size extending AIO writes.
- FALLOC_FL_INSERT_RANGE support for inserting holes into a file via
direct extent manipulation to avoid needing to copy data within the
file
- attribute block header field overflow fix for 64k block size
filesystems
- Lots of changes to log messaging to be more informative and concise
when errors occur. Also prevent a lot of unnecessary log spamming
due to cascading failures in error conditions.
- lots of cleanups and bug fixes
One thing of note is the direct IO fixes that we merged last week
after the window opened. Even though a little late, they fix a user
reported data corruption and have been pretty well tested. I figured
there was not much point waiting another 2 weeks for -rc1 to be
released just so I could send them to you..."

xfs_end_io_direct_write() can race with other IO completions when
updating the in-core inode size. The IO completion processing is not
serialised for direct IO - they are done either under the
IOLOCK_SHARED for non-AIO DIO, and without any IOLOCK held at all
during AIO DIO completion. Hence the non-atomic test-and-set update
of the in-core inode size is racy and can result in the in-core
inode size going backwards if the race if hit just right.
If the inode size goes backwards, this can trigger the EOF zeroing
code to run incorrectly on the next IO, which then will zero data
that has successfully been written to disk by a previous DIO.
To fix this bug, we need to serialise the test/set updates of the
in-core inode size. This first patch introduces locking around the
relevant updates and checks in the DIO path. Because we now have an
ioend in xfs_end_io_direct_write(), we know exactly then we are
doing an IO that requires an in-core EOF update, and we know that
they are not running in interrupt context. As such, we do not need to
use irqsave() spinlock variants to protect against interrupts while
the lock is held.
Hence we can use an existing spinlock in the inode to do this
serialisation and so not need to grow the struct xfs_inode just to
work around this problem.
This patch does not address the test/set EOF update in
generic_file_write_direct() for various reasons - that will be done
as a followup with separate explanation.

DIO writes that lie entirely within EOF have nothing to do in IO
completion. In this case, we don't need no steekin' ioend, and so we
can avoid allocating an ioend until we have a mapping that spans
EOF.
This means that IO completion has two contexts - deferred completion
to the dio workqueue that uses an ioend, and interrupt completion
that does nothing because there is nothing that can be done in this
context.

Currently a DIO overwrite that extends the EOF (e.g sub-block IO or
write into allocated blocks beyond EOF) requires a transaction for
the EOF update. Thi is done in IO completion context, but we aren't
explicitly handling this situation properly and so it can run in
interrupt context. Ensure that we defer IO that spans EOF correctly
to the DIO completion workqueue, and now that we have an ioend in IO
completion we can use the common ioend completion path to do all the
work.
Note: we do not preallocate the append transaction as we can have
multiple mapping and allocation calls per direct IO. hence
preallocating can still leave us with nested transactions by
attempting to map and allocate more blocks after we've preallocated
an append transaction.

Currently we can only tell DIO completion that an IO requires
unwritten extent completion. This is done by a hacky non-null
private pointer passed to Io completion, but the private pointer
does not actually contain any information that is used.
We also need to pass to IO completion the fact that the IO may be
beyond EOF and so a size update transaction needs to be done. This
is currently determined by checks in the io completion, but we need
to determine if this is necessary at block mapping time as we need
to defer the size update transactions to a completion workqueue,
just like unwritten extent conversion.
To do this, first we need to allocate and pass an ioend to to IO
completion. Add this for unwritten extent conversion; we'll do the
EOF updates in the next commit.

Back in the days when the direct I/O ->end_io callback could be called
from interrupt context for AIO we needed a structure to hand off to the
workqueue, and reused the ioend structure for this purpose. These days
->end_io is always called from user or workqueue context, which allows us
to avoid this memory allocation and simplify the code significantly.

xfs_vm_writepage() walks each buffer_head on the page, maps to the block
on disk and attaches to a running ioend structure that represents the
I/O submission. A new ioend is created when the type of I/O (unwritten,
delayed allocation or overwrite) required for a particular buffer_head
differs from the previous. If a buffer_head is a delalloc or unwritten
buffer, the associated bits are cleared by xfs_map_at_offset() once the
buffer_head is added to the ioend.
The process of mapping each buffer_head occurs in xfs_map_blocks() and
acquires the ilock in blocking or non-blocking mode, depending on the
type of writeback in progress. If the lock cannot be acquired for
non-blocking writeback, we cancel the ioend, redirty the page and
return. Writeback will revisit the page at some later point.
Note that we acquire the ilock for each buffer on the page. Therefore
during non-blocking writeback, it is possible to add an unwritten buffer
to the ioend, clear the unwritten state, fail to acquire the ilock when
mapping a subsequent buffer and cancel the ioend. If this occurs, the
unwritten status of the buffer sitting in the ioend has been lost. The
page will eventually hit writeback again, but xfs_vm_writepage() submits
overwrite I/O instead of unwritten I/O and does not perform unwritten
extent conversion at I/O completion. This leads to data corruption
because unwritten extents are treated as holes on reads and zeroes are
returned instead of reading from disk.
Modify xfs_cancel_ioend() to restore the buffer unwritten bit for ioends
of type XFS_IO_UNWRITTEN. This ensures that unwritten extent conversion
occurs once the page is eventually written back.

XFS has been having trouble with stray delayed allocation extents
beyond EOF for a long time. Recent changes to the collapse range
code has triggered erroneous EBUSY errors on page invalidtion for
block size smaller than page size filesystems. These
have been caused by dirty buffers beyond EOF on a partial page which
do not get written to disk during a sync.
The issue is that write-ahead in xfs_cluster_write() finds such a
partial page and handles it by leaving the page dirty but pushing it
into a writeback state. This used to work just fine, as the
write_cache_pages() code would then find the dirty partial page in
the next mapping tree lookup as the dirty tag is still set.
Unfortunately, when we moved to a mark and sweep approach to
writeback to fix other writeback sync issues, we broken this. THe
act of marking the page as under writeback now clears the TOWRITE
tag in the radix tree, even though the page is still dirty. This
causes the TOWRITE tag to be cleared, and hence the next lookup on
the mapping tree does not find the dirty partial page and so doesn't
try to write it again.
This same writeback bug was found recently in ext4 and fixed in
commit 1c8349a ("ext4: fix data integrity sync in ordered mode")
without communication to the wider filesystem community. We can use
exactly the same fix here so the TOWRITE flag is not cleared on
partial page writes.

generic/263 is failing fsx at this point with a page spanning
EOF that cannot be invalidated. The operations are:
1190 mapwrite 0x52c00 thru 0x5e569 (0xb96a bytes)
1191 mapread 0x5c000 thru 0x5d636 (0x1637 bytes)
1192 write 0x5b600 thru 0x771ff (0x1bc00 bytes)
where 1190 extents EOF from 0x54000 to 0x5e569. When the direct IO
write attempts to invalidate the cached page over this range, it
fails with -EBUSY and so any attempt to do page invalidation fails.
The real question is this: Why can't that page be invalidated after
it has been written to disk and cleaned?
Well, there's data on the first two buffers in the page (1k block
size, 4k page), but the third buffer on the page (i.e. beyond EOF)
is failing drop_buffers because it's bh->b_state == 0x3, which is
BH_Uptodate | BH_Dirty. IOWs, there's dirty buffers beyond EOF. Say
what?
OK, set_buffer_dirty() is called on all buffers from
__set_page_buffers_dirty(), regardless of whether the buffer is
beyond EOF or not, which means that when we get to ->writepage,
we have buffers marked dirty beyond EOF that we need to clean.
So, we need to implement our own .set_page_dirty method that
doesn't dirty buffers beyond EOF.
This is messy because the buffer code is not meant to be shared
and it has interesting locking issues on the buffer dirty bits.
So just copy and paste it and then modify it to suit what we need.
Note: the solutions the other filesystems and generic block code use
of marking the buffers clean in ->writepage does not work for XFS.
It still leaves dirty buffers beyond EOF and invalidations still
fail. Hence rather than play whack-a-mole, this patch simply
prevents those buffers from being dirtied in the first place.

This issue can be triggered via xfstests/generic/308.
The reason is that the end_index is unsigned long with maximum value
'2^32-1=4294967295' on 32-bit platform, and the given offset cause it
wrapped to 0, so that the following codes will repeat again and again
until the task schedule time out:
end_index = offset >> PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT;
last_index = (offset - 1) >> PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT;
if (page->index >= end_index) {
unsigned offset_into_page = offset & (PAGE_CACHE_SIZE - 1);
/*
* Just skip the page if it is fully outside i_size, e.g. due
* to a truncate operation that is in progress.
*/
if (page->index >= end_index + 1 || offset_into_page == 0) {
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
unlock_page(page);
return 0;
}
In order to check if a page is fully outsids i_size or not, we can fix
the code logic as below:
if (page->index > end_index ||
(page->index == end_index && offset_into_page == 0))
Secondly, there still has another similar issue when calculating the
end offset for mapping the filesystem blocks to the file blocks for
delalloc. With the same tests to above, run unmount(8) will cause
kernel panic if CONFIG_XFS_DEBUG is enabled:

Al Viro tracked down the problem that has caused generic/263 to fail
on XFS since the test was introduced. If is caused by
xfs_get_blocks() mapping a single extent that spans EOF without
marking it as buffer-new() so that the direct IO code does not zero
the tail of the block at the new EOF. This is a long standing bug
that has been around for many, many years.
Because xfs_get_blocks() starts the map before EOF, it can't set
buffer_new(), because that causes he direct IO code to also zero
unaligned sectors at the head of the IO. This would overwrite valid
data with zeros, and hence we cannot validly return a single extent
that spans EOF to direct IO.
Fix this by detecting a mapping that spans EOF and truncate it down
to EOF. This results in the the direct IO code doing the right thing
for unaligned data blocks before EOF, and then returning to get
another mapping for the region beyond EOF which XFS treats correctly
by setting buffer_new() on it. This makes direct Io behave correctly
w.r.t. tail block zeroing beyond EOF, and fsx is happy about that.
Again, thanks to Al Viro for finding what I couldn't.

If we fail a write beyond EOF and have to handle it in
xfs_vm_write_begin(), we truncate the inode back to the current inode
size. This doesn't take into account the fact that we may have
already made successful writes to the same page (in the case of block
size < page size) and hence we can truncate the page cache away from
blocks with valid data in them. If these blocks are delayed
allocation blocks, we now have a mismatch between the page cache and
the extent tree, and this will trigger - at minimum - a delayed
block count mismatch assert when the inode is evicted from the cache.
We can also trip over it when block mapping for direct IO - this is
the most common symptom seen from fsx and fsstress when run from
xfstests.
Fix it by only truncating away the exact range we are updating state
for in this write_begin call.

When a write fails, if we don't clear the delalloc flags from the
buffers over the failed range, they can persist beyond EOF and cause
problems. writeback will see the pages in the page cache, see they
are dirty and continually retry the write, assuming that the page
beyond EOF is just racing with a truncate. The page will eventually
be released due to some other operation (e.g. direct IO), and it
will not pass through invalidation because it is dirty. Hence it
will be released with buffer_delay set on it, and trigger warnings
in xfs_vm_releasepage() and assert fail in xfs_file_aio_write_direct
because invalidation failed and we didn't write the corect amount.
This causes failures on block size < page size filesystems in fsx
and fsstress workloads run by xfstests.
Fix it by completely trashing any state on the buffer that could be
used to imply that it contains valid data when the delalloc range
over the buffer is punched out during the failed write handling.

xfs_aops_discard_page() was introduced in the following commit:
xfs: truncate delalloc extents when IO fails in writeback
... to clean up left over delalloc ranges after I/O failure in
->writepage(). generic/224 tests for this scenario and occasionally
reproduces panics on sub-4k blocksize filesystems.
The cause of this is failure to clean up the delalloc range on a
page where the first buffer does not match one of the expected
states of xfs_check_page_type(). If a buffer is not unwritten,
delayed or dirty&mapped, xfs_check_page_type() stops and
immediately returns 0.
The stress test of generic/224 creates a scenario where the first
several buffers of a page with delayed buffers are mapped & uptodate
and some subsequent buffer is delayed. If the ->writepage() happens
to fail for this page, xfs_aops_discard_page() incorrectly skips
the entire page.
This then causes later failures either when direct IO maps the range
and finds the stale delayed buffer, or we evict the inode and find
that the inode still has a delayed block reservation accounted to
it.
We can easily fix this xfs_aops_discard_page() failure by making
xfs_check_page_type() check all buffers, but this breaks
xfs_convert_page() more than it is already broken. Indeed,
xfs_convert_page() wants xfs_check_page_type() to tell it if the
first buffers on the pages are of a type that can be aggregated into
the contiguous IO that is already being built.
xfs_convert_page() should not be writing random buffers out of a
page, but the current behaviour will cause it to do so if there are
buffers that don't match the current specification on the page.
Hence for xfs_convert_page() we need to:
a) return "not ok" if the first buffer on the page does not
match the specification provided to we don't write anything;
and
b) abort it's buffer-add-to-io loop the moment we come
across a buffer that does not match the specification.
Hence we need to fix both xfs_check_page_type() and
xfs_convert_page() to work correctly with pages that have mixed
buffer types, whilst allowing xfs_aops_discard_page() to scan all
buffers on the page for a type match.

Page cache allocation doesn't always go through ->begin_write and
hence we don't always get the opportunity to set the allocation
context to GFP_NOFS. Failing to do this means we open up the direct
relcaim stack to recurse into the filesystem and consume a
significant amount of stack.
On RHEL6.4 kernels we are seeing ra_submit() and
generic_file_splice_read() from an nfsd context recursing into the
filesystem via the inode cache shrinker and evicting inodes. This is
causing truncation to be run (e.g EOF block freeing) and causing
bmap btree block merges and free space btree block splits to occur.
These btree manipulations are occurring with the call chain already
30 functions deep and hence there is not enough stack space to
complete such operations.
To avoid these specific overruns, we need to prevent the page cache
allocation from recursing via direct reclaim. We can do that because
the allocation functions take the allocation context from that which
is stored in the mapping for the inode. We don't set that right now,
so the default is GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE, which is effectively a
GFP_KERNEL context. We need it to be the equivalent of GFP_NOFS, so
when we initialise an inode, set the mapping gfp mask appropriately.
This makes the use of AOP_FLAG_NOFS redundant from other parts of
the XFS IO path, so get rid of it.

Currently the xfs_inode.h header has a dependency on the definition

Move all the btree format definitions from xfs_btree.h,
xfs_bmap_btree.h, xfs_alloc_btree.h and xfs_ialloc_btree.h to

xfs_trans.h has a dependency on xfs_log.h for a couple of
structures. Most code that does transactions doesn't need to know
anything about the log, but this dependency means that they have to
include xfs_log.h. Decouple the xfs_trans.h and xfs_log.h header
files and clean up the includes to be in dependency order.
In doing this, remove the direct include of xfs_trans_reserve.h from
xfs_trans.h so that we remove the dependency between xfs_trans.h and
xfs_mount.h. Hence the xfs_trans.h include can be moved to the
indicate the actual dependencies other header files have on it.
Note that these are kernel only header files, so this does not

All of the buffer operations structures are needed to be exported
for xfs_db, so move them all to a common location rather than
spreading them all over the place. They are verifying the on-disk
format, so while xfs_format.h might be a good place, it is not part
of the on disk format.
Hence we need to create a new header file that we centralise these
related definitions. Start by moving the bffer operations
structures, and then also move all the other definitions that have
crept into xfs_log_format.h and xfs_format.h as there was no other

Add support to the core direct-io code to defer AIO completions to user
context using a workqueue. This replaces opencoded and less efficient
code in XFS and ext4 (we save a memory allocation for each direct IO)
and will be needed to properly support O_(D)SYNC for AIO.
The communication between the filesystem and the direct I/O code requires
a new buffer head flag, which is a bit ugly but not avoidable until the
direct I/O code stops abusing the buffer_head structure for communicating
with the filesystems.
Currently this creates a per-superblock unbound workqueue for these
completions, which is taken from an earlier patch by Jan Kara. I'm
not really convinced about this use and would prefer a "normal" global
workqueue with a high concurrency limit, but this needs further discussion.
