Pull xfs updates from Dave Chinner:
"There's quite a lot in this request, and there's some cross-over with
ext4, dax and quota code due to the nature of the changes being made.
As for the rest of the XFS changes, there are lots of little things
all over the place, which add up to a lot of changes in the end.
The major changes are that we've reduced the size of the struct
xfs_inode by ~100 bytes (gives an inode cache footprint reduction of
>10%), the writepage code now only does a single set of mapping tree
lockups so uses less CPU, delayed allocation reservations won't
overrun under random write loads anymore, and we added compile time
verification for on-disk structure sizes so we find out when a commit
or platform/compiler change breaks the on disk structure as early as
possible.
Change summary:
- error propagation for direct IO failures fixes for both XFS and
ext4
- new quota interfaces and XFS implementation for iterating all the
quota IDs in the filesystem
- locking fixes for real-time device extent allocation
- reduction of duplicate information in the xfs and vfs inode, saving
roughly 100 bytes of memory per cached inode.
- buffer flag cleanup
- rework of the writepage code to use the generic write clustering
mechanisms
- several fixes for inode flag based DAX enablement
- rework of remount option parsing
- compile time verification of on-disk format structure sizes
- delayed allocation reservation overrun fixes
- lots of little error handling fixes
- small memory leak fixes
- enable xfsaild freezing again"

This is a simple extension to the block layout driver to use SCSI
persistent reservations for access control and fencing, as well as
SCSI VPD pages for device identification.
For this we need to pass the nfs4_client to the proc_getdeviceinfo method
to generate the reservation key, and add a new fence_client method
to allow for fence actions in the layout driver.

These patches tag the page cache radix tree eviction entries with the
memcg an evicted page belonged to, thus making per-cgroup LRU reclaim
work properly and be as adaptive to new cache workingsets as global
reclaim already is.
This should have been part of the original thrash detection patch
series, but was deferred due to the complexity of those patches.
This patch (of 5):
So far the only sites that needed to exclude charge migration to
stabilize page->mem_cgroup have been per-cgroup page statistics, hence
the name mem_cgroup_begin_page_stat(). But per-cgroup thrash detection
will add another site that needs to ensure page->mem_cgroup lifetime.
Rename these locking functions to the more generic lock_page_memcg() and
unlock_page_memcg(). Since charge migration is a cgroup1 feature only,
we might be able to delete it at some point, and these now easy to
identify locking sites along with it.

xfs_bmap_del_extent() handles extent removal from the in-core and
on-disk extent lists. When removing a delalloc range, it updates the
indirect block reservation appropriately based on the removal. It
currently enforces that the new indirect block reservation is less than
or equal to the original. This is normally the case in all situations
except for in certain cases when the removed range creates a hole in a
single delalloc extent, thus splitting a single delalloc extent in two.
It is possible with small enough extents to split an indlen==1 extent
into two such slightly smaller extents. This leaves one extent with 0
indirect blocks and leads to assert failures in other areas (e.g.,
xfs_bunmapi() if the extent happens to be removed).
Update the indlen distribution code to steal blocks from the deleted
extent, if necessary, to satisfy the worst case total indirect
reservation for the new extents. This is safe as the caller does not
update the fdblocks counters until the extent is removed. Blocks stolen
in this manner simply remain accounted as allocated, having ownership
transferred from the data extent to an indirect reservation.
As a precaution, fall back to the original reservation algorithm if the
new indlen requirement is not met and warn if we end up with extents
without any reservation at all to detect this more easily in the future.

xfs_bunmapi() currently updates the fdblocks counter, unreserves quota,
etc. before the extent is deleted by xfs_bmap_del_extent(). The function
has problems dividing up the indirect reserved blocks for scenarios
where a single delalloc extent is split in two. Particularly, there
aren't always enough blocks reserved for multiple extents in a single
extent reservation.
The solution to this problem is to allow the extent removal code to
steal from the deleted extent to meet indirect reservation requirements.
Move the block of code in xfs_bmapi() that updates the fdblocks counter
to after the call to xfs_bmap_del_extent() to allow the codepath to
update the extent record before the free blocks are accounted. Also,
reshuffle the code slightly so the delalloc accounting occurs near the
xfs_bmap_del_extent() call to provide context for the comments.

Add a DEBUG mode-only sysfs knob to enable forced buffered write
failure. An additional side effect of this mode is brute force killing
of delayed allocation blocks in the range of the write. The latter is
the prime motiviation behind this patch, as userspace test
infrastructure requires a reliable mechanism to create and split
delalloc extents without causing extent conversion.
Certain fallocate operations (i.e., zero range) were used for this in
the past, but the implementations have changed such that delalloc
extents are flushed and converted to real blocks, rendering the test
useless.

Pull xfs fixes from Dave Chinner:
"This is a fix for a regression introduced in 4.5-rc1 by the new torn
log write detection code. The regression only affects people moving a
clean filesystem between machines/kernels of different architecture
(such as changing between 32 bit and 64 bit kernels), but this is the

The changes are larger than I'd prefer right at the end of the release

the detection of a clean log at the correct time to avoid this issue.
Changes:
- Only perform torn log write detection on dirty logs. This prevents
failures being detected due to a clean filesystem being moved

Commit 88740da18[1] introduced a function to compute the maximum
height of the inode btree back in 1994. Back then, apparently, the
freespace and inode btrees shared the same geometry; however, it has
long since been the case that the inode and freespace btrees have
different record and key sizes. Therefore, we must use m_inobt_mnr if
we want a correct calculation/log reservation/etc.
(Yes, this bug has been around for 21 years and ten months.)

If a crash occurs immediately after a filesystem grow operation, the
updated superblock geometry is found only in the log. After we
recover the log, the superblock is reread and re-initialised and so
has the new geometry in memory. If the new geometry has more AGs
than prior to the grow operation, then the new AGs will not have
in-memory xfs_perag structurea associated with them.
This will result in an oops when the first metadata buffer from a
new AG is looked up in the buffer cache, as the block lies within
the new geometry but then fails to find a perag structure on lookup.
This is easily fixed by simply re-initialising the perag structure
after re-reading the superblock at the conclusion of the first pahse
of log recovery.
This, however, does not fix the case of log recovery requiring
access to metadata in the newly grown space. Fortunately for us,
because the in-core superblock has not been updated, this will
result in detection of access beyond the end of the filesystem
and so recovery will fail at that point. If this proves to be
a problem, then we can address it separately to the current
reported issue.

XFS uses CRC verification over a sub-range of the head of the log to
detect and handle torn writes. This torn log write detection currently
runs unconditionally at mount time, regardless of whether the log is
dirty or clean. This is problematic in cases where a filesystem might
end up being moved across different, incompatible (i.e., opposite
byte-endianness) architectures.
The problem lies in the fact that log data is not necessarily written in
an architecture independent format. For example, certain bits of data
are written in native endian format. Further, the size of certain log
data structures differs (i.e., struct xlog_rec_header) depending on the
word size of the cpu. This leads to false positive crc verification
errors and ultimately failed mounts when a cleanly unmounted filesystem
is mounted on a system with an incompatible architecture from data that
was written near the head of the log.
Update the log head/tail discovery code to run torn write detection only
when the log is not clean. This means something other than an unmount
record resides at the head of the log and log recovery is imminent. It
is a requirement to run log recovery on the same type of host that had
written the content of the dirty log and therefore CRC failures are
legitimate corruptions in that scenario.

information such as the current head block and cycle, the start block of

Once torn write detection is conditional, this logic will need to be

Once the mount sequence has identified the head and tail blocks of the
physical log, the record at the head of the log is located and examined
for an unmount record to determine if the log is clean. This currently
occurs after torn write verification of the head region of the log.
This must ultimately be separated from torn write verification and may
need to be called again if the log head is walked back due to a torn
write (to determine whether the new head record is an unmount record).

inode32/inode64 allocator behavior with respect to mount, remount
and growfs is a little tricky.
The inode32 mount option should only enable the inode32 allocator
heuristics if the filesystem is large enough for 64-bit inodes to
exist. Today, it has this behavior on the initial mount, but a
remount with inode32 unconditionally changes the allocation
heuristics, even for a small fs.
Also, an inode32 mounted small filesystem should transition to the
inode32 allocator if the filesystem is subsequently grown to a
sufficient size. Today that does not happen.
This patch consolidates xfs_set_inode32 and xfs_set_inode64 into a
single new function, and moves the "is the maximum inode number big
enough to matter" test into that function, so it doesn't rely on the
caller to get it right - which remount did not do, previously.

If the block size of a filesystem is not at least PAGE_SIZEd, then
at this point in time DAX cannot be used due to the fact we can't
guarantee extents are page sized or aligned without further work.
Hence disallow setting the DAX flag on an inode if the block size is
too small. Also, be defensive and check the block size when reading
an inode in off disk.
In future, we want to allow DAX to work on any filesystem, so this
is temporary while we sort of the correct conbination of extent size
hints and allocation alignment configurations needed to guarantee
page sized and aligned extent allocation for DAX enabled files.

Previously calls to dax_writeback_mapping_range() for all DAX filesystems
(ext2, ext4 & xfs) were centralized in filemap_write_and_wait_range().
dax_writeback_mapping_range() needs a struct block_device, and it used
to get that from inode->i_sb->s_bdev. This is correct for normal inodes
mounted on ext2, ext4 and XFS filesystems, but is incorrect for DAX raw
block devices and for XFS real-time files.
Instead, call dax_writeback_mapping_range() directly from the filesystem
->writepages function so that it can supply us with a valid block
device. This also fixes DAX code to properly flush caches in response
to sync(2).

Currently we can build a long ioend chain during ->writepages that
gets attached to the writepage context. IO submission only then
occurs when we finish all the writepage processing. This means we
can have many ioends allocated and pending, and this violates the
mempool guarantees that we need to give about forwards progress.
i.e. we really should only have one ioend being built at a time,
otherwise we may drain the mempool trying to allocate a new ioend
and that blocks submission, completion and freeing of ioends that
are already in progress.
To prevent this situation from happening, we need to submit ioends
for IO as soon as they are ready for dispatch rather than queuing
them for later submission. This means the ioends have bios built
immediately and they get queued on any plug that is current active.
Hence if we schedule away from writeback, the ioends that have been
built will make forwards progress due to the plug flushing on
context switch. This will also prevent context switches from
creating unnecessary IO submission latency.
We can't completely avoid having nested IO allocation - when we have
a block size smaller than a page size, we still need to hold the
ioend submission until after we have marked the current page dirty.
Hence we may need multiple ioends to be held while the current page
is completely mapped and made ready for IO dispatch. We cannot avoid
this problem - the current code already has this ioend chaining
within a page so we can mostly ignore that it occurs.

Separate out the bufferhead based mapping from the writepage code so
that we have a clear separation of the page operations and the
bufferhead state.

xfs_cluster_write() is not necessary now that xfs_vm_writepages()
aggregates writepage calls across a single mapping. This means we no
longer need to do page lookups in xfs_cluster_write, so writeback
only needs to look up th epage cache once per page being written.
This also removes a large amount of mostly duplicate code between
xfs_do_writepage() and xfs_convert_page().
