Btrfs: fix unexpected return value of bio_readpage_error
btrfs: btrfs_create_repair_bio never fails, skip error handling

We've started using cloned bios more in 4.13, there are some specifics
regarding the iteration. Filipe found [1] that the raid56 iterated a
cloned bio using bio_for_each_segment_all, which is incorrect. The
cloned bios have wrong bi_vcnt and this could lead to silent
corruptions. This patch adds assertions to all remaining
bio_for_each_segment_all cases.

The workspaces are preallocated at the beginning where we can safely use
GFP_KERNEL, but in some cases the find_workspace might reach the
allocation again, now in a more restricted context when the bios or
pages are being compressed.
To avoid potential lockup when alloc_workspace -> vmalloc would silently
use the GFP_KERNEL, add the memalloc_nofs helpers around the critical
call site.

The parameter saying how many pages can be allocated at maximum can be

The original csum error message only outputs inode number, offset, check
sum and expected check sum.
However no root objectid is outputted, which sometimes makes debugging
quite painful under multi-subvolume case (including relocation).
Also the checksum output is decimal, which seldom makes sense for
users/developers and is hard to read in most time.
This patch will add root objectid, which will be %lld for rootid larger
than LAST_FREE_OBJECTID, and hex csum output for better readability.

Currently btrfs_ino takes a struct inode and this causes a lot of
internal btrfs functions which consume this ino to take a VFS inode,
rather than btrfs' own struct btrfs_inode. In order to fix this "leak"
of VFS structs into the internals of btrfs first it's necessary to
eliminate all uses of struct inode for the purpose of inode. This patch
does that by using BTRFS_I to convert an inode to btrfs_inode. With
this problem eliminated subsequent patches will start eliminating the
passing of struct inode altogether, eventually resulting in a lot cleaner
code.

If btrfs_decompress_buf2page() is handed a bio with its page in the
middle of the working buffer, then we adjust the offset into the working
buffer. After we copy into the bio, we advance the iterator by the
number of bytes we copied. Then, we have some logic to handle the case
of discontiguous pages and adjust the offset into the working buffer
again. However, if we didn't advance the bio to a new page, we may enter
this case in error, essentially repeating the adjustment that we already
made when we entered the function. The end result is bogus data in the
bio.
Previously, we only checked for this case when we advanced to a new
page, but the conversion to bio iterators changed that. This restores
the old, correct behavior.
A case I saw when testing with zlib was:
buf_start = 42769
total_out = 46865
working_bytes = total_out - buf_start = 4096
start_byte = 45056
The condition (total_out > start_byte && buf_start < start_byte) is
true, so we adjust the offset:
buf_offset = start_byte - buf_start = 2287
working_bytes -= buf_offset = 1809
current_buf_start = buf_start = 42769
Then, we copy
bytes = min(bvec.bv_len, PAGE_SIZE - buf_offset, working_bytes) = 1809
buf_offset += bytes = 4096
working_bytes -= bytes = 0
current_buf_start += bytes = 44578
After bio_advance(), we are still in the same page, so start_byte is the
same. Then, we check (total_out > start_byte && current_buf_start < start_byte),
which is true! So, we adjust the values again:
buf_offset = start_byte - buf_start = 2287
working_bytes = total_out - start_byte = 1809
current_buf_start = buf_start + buf_offset = 45056
But note that working_bytes was already zero before this, so we should
have stopped copying.

With just one preallocated workspace we can guarantee forward progress
even if there's no memory available for new workspaces. The cost is more
waiting but we also get rid of several error paths.
On average, there will be several idle workspaces, so the waiting
penalty won't be so bad.
In the worst case, all cpus will compete for one workspace until there's
some memory. Attempts to allocate a new one are done each time the
waiters are woken up.

Preallocate one workspace for each compression type so we can guarantee
forward progress in the worst case. A failure cannot be a hard error as
we might not use compression at all on the filesystem. If we can't
allocate the workspaces later when need them, it might actually
deadlock, but in such situation the system has effectively not enough
memory to operate properly.

PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.
This promise never materialized. And unlikely will.
We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.
Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.
Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are
not.
The changes are pretty straight-forward:
- <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
- <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
- PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};
- page_cache_get() -> get_page();
- page_cache_release() -> put_page();
This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.
The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.
There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch. Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

BTW, while accessing one compress type of these variables, the next or

Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO:
(1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag
(2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback
The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible
error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent
when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent
bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario. Having both mechanisms
available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors
and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of
them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds
of error returns.
So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct
bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.
