43caeb187d xfs: move mappings from cow fork to data fork after copy-write
After the write component of a copy-write operation finishes, clean up
the bookkeeping left behind.  On error, we simply free the new blocks
and pass the error up.  If we succeed, however, then we must remove
the old data fork mapping and move the cow fork mapping to the data
fork.

4862cfe825 xfs: support removing extents from CoW fork
Create a helper method to remove extents from the CoW fork without
any of the side effects (rmapbt/bmbt updates) of the regular extent
deletion routine.  We'll eventually use this to clear out the CoW fork
during ioend processing.

ef4736678f xfs: allocate delayed extents in CoW fork
Modify the writepage handler to find and convert pending delalloc
extents to real allocations.  Furthermore, when we're doing non-cow
writes to a part of a file that already has a CoW reservation (the
cowextsz hint that we set up in a subsequent patch facilitates this),
promote the write to copy-on-write so that the entire extent can get
written out as a single extent on disk, thereby reducing post-CoW
fragmentation.

Christoph moved the CoW support code in _map_blocks to a separate helper
function, refactored other functions, and reduced the number of CoW fork
lookups, so I merged those changes here to reduce churn.

2a06705cd5 xfs: create delalloc extents in CoW fork
Wire up iomap_begin to detect shared extents and create delayed allocation
extents in the CoW fork:

 1) Check if we already have an extent in the COW fork for the area.
    If so nothing to do, we can move along.
 2) Look up block number for the current extent, and if there is none
    it's not shared move along.
 3) Unshare the current extent as far as we are going to write into it.
    For this we avoid an additional COW fork lookup and use the
    information we set aside in step 1) above.
 4) Goto 1) unless we've covered the whole range.

Last but not least, this updates the xfs_reflink_reserve_cow_range calling
convention to pass a byte offset and length, as that is what both callers
expect anyway.  This patch has been refactored considerably as part of the
iomap transition.

17c12bcd30 xfs: when replaying bmap operations, don't let unlinked inodes get reaped
Log recovery will iget an inode to replay BUI items and iput the inode
when it's done.  Unfortunately, if the inode was unlinked, the iput
will see that i_nlink == 0 and decide to truncate & free the inode,
which prevents us from replaying subsequent BUIs.  We can't skip the
BUIs because we have to replay all the redo items to ensure that
atomic operations complete.

Since unlinked inode recovery will reap the inode anyway, we can
safely introduce a new inode flag to indicate that an inode is in this
'unlinked recovery' state and should not be auto-reaped in the
drop_inode path.

f310bd2ecd xfs: account for the refcount btree in the alloc/free log reservation
Every time we allocate or free a data extent, we might need to split
the refcount btree.  Reserve some blocks in the transaction to handle
this possibility.  Even though the deferred refcount code can roll a
transaction to avoid overloading the transaction, we can still exceed
the reservation.

Certain pathological workloads (1k blocks, no cowextsize hint, random
directio writes), cause a perfect storm wherein a refcount adjustment
of a large range of blocks causes full tree splits in two separate
extents in two separate refcount tree blocks; allocating new refcount
tree blocks causes rmap btree splits; and all the allocation activity
causes the freespace btrees to split, blowing the reservation.

(Reproduced by generic/167 over NFS atop XFS)

5cd9cee98b xfs: log recovery tracepoints to track current lsn and buffer submission

tricky corner cases where independent transactions can share an LSN. As
such, it can be difficult to follow when/why buffers are submitted
during recovery.

Add a couple tracepoints to post the current LSN of a record when a new
record is being processed and when a buffer is being skipped due to LSN
ordering. Also, update the recover item class to include the LSN of the
current transaction for the item being processed.

60a4a22251 xfs: update metadata LSN in buffers during log recovery
Log recovery is currently broken for v5 superblocks in that it never
updates the metadata LSN of buffers written out during recovery. The
metadata LSN is recorded in various bits of metadata to provide recovery
ordering criteria that prevents transient corruption states reported by
buffer write verifiers. Without such ordering logic, buffer updates can
be replayed out of order and lead to false positive transient corruption
states. This is generally not a corruption vector on its own, but
corruption detection shuts down the filesystem and ultimately prevents a
mount if it occurs during log recovery. This requires an xfs_repair run
that clears the log and potentially loses filesystem updates.

This problem is avoided in most cases as metadata writes during normal
filesystem operation update the metadata LSN appropriately. The problem
with log recovery not updating metadata LSNs manifests if the system
happens to crash shortly after log recovery itself. In this scenario, it
is possible for log recovery to complete all metadata I/O such that the
filesystem is consistent. If a crash occurs after that point but before
the log tail is pushed forward by subsequent operations, however, the
next mount performs the same log recovery over again. If a buffer is
updated multiple times in the dirty range of the log, an earlier update
in the log might not be valid based on the current state of the
associated buffer after all of the updates in the log had been replayed
(before the previous crash). If a verifier happens to detect such a
problem, the filesystem claims corruption and immediately shuts down.

This commonly manifests in practice as directory block verifier failures
such as the following, likely due to directory verifiers being
particularly detailed in their checks as compared to most others:

  ...
  Mounting V5 Filesystem
  XFS (dm-0): Starting recovery (logdev: internal)
  XFS (dm-0): Internal error XFS_WANT_CORRUPTED_RETURN at line ... of \
    file fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_dir2_data.c.  Caller xfs_dir3_data_verify ...
  ...

Update log recovery to update the metadata LSN of recovered buffers.
Since metadata LSNs are already updated by write verifer functions via
attached log items, attach a dummy log item to the buffer during
validation and explicitly set the LSN of the current transaction. This
ensures that the metadata LSN of a buffer is updated based on whether
the recovery I/O actually completes, and if so, that subsequent recovery
attempts identify that the buffer is already up to date with respect to
the current transaction.

040c52c0aa xfs: don't warn on buffers not being recovered due to LSN

buffer update may be skipped due to LSN ordering. If the validation
function happens to come across directory conversion situations (e.g., a
dir3 block to data conversion), it may warn about seeing a buffer log
format of one type and a buffer with a magic number of another.

This warning is not valid as the buffer update is ultimately skipped.
This is indicated by a current_lsn of NULLCOMMITLSN provided by the
caller. As such, update xlog_recover_validate_buf_type() to only warn in
such cases when a buffer update is expected.

12818d24db xfs: rework log recovery to submit buffers on LSN boundaries
The fix to log recovery to update the metadata LSN in recovered buffers
introduces the requirement that a buffer is submitted only once per
current LSN. Log recovery currently submits buffers on transaction
boundaries. This is not sufficient as the abstraction between log
records and transactions allows for various scenarios where multiple
transactions can share the same current LSN. If independent transactions
share an LSN and both modify the same buffer, log recovery can
incorrectly skip updates and leave the filesystem in an inconsisent
state.

In preparation for proper metadata LSN updates during log recovery,
update log recovery to submit buffers for write on LSN change boundaries
rather than transaction boundaries. Explicitly track the current LSN in
a new struct xlog field to handle the various corner cases of when the
current LSN may or may not change.

ddeb14f4fb xfs: quiesce the filesystem after recovery on readonly mount
Recently we've had a number of reports where log recovery on a v5
filesystem has reported corruptions that looked to be caused by
recovery being re-run over the top of an already-recovered
metadata. This has uncovered a bug in recovery (fixed elsewhere)
but the vector that caused this was largely unknown.

A kdump test started tripping over this problem - the system
would be crashed, the kdump kernel and environment would boot and
dump the kernel core image, and then the system would reboot. After
reboot, the root filesystem was triggering log recovery and
corruptions were being detected. The metadumps indicated the above
log recovery issue.

What is happening is that the kdump kernel and environment is
mounting the root device read-only to find the binaries needed to do
it's work. The result of this is that it is running log recovery.
However, because there were unlinked files and EFIs to be processed
by recovery, the completion of phase 1 of log recovery could not
mark the log clean. And because it's a read-only mount, the unmount
process does not write records to the log to mark it clean, either.
Hence on the next mount of the filesystem, log recovery was run
again across all the metadata that had already been recovered and
this is what triggered corruption warnings.

To avoid this problem, we need to ensure that a read-only mount
always updates the log when it completes the second phase of
recovery. We already handle this sort of issue with rw->ro remount
transitions, so the solution is as simple as quiescing the
filesystem at the appropriate time during the mount process. This
results in the log being marked clean so the mount behaviour
recorded in the logs on repeated RO mounts will change (i.e. log
recovery will no longer be run on every mount until a RW mount is
done). This is a user visible change in behaviour, but it is
harmless.

292378edcb xfs: remote attribute blocks aren't really userdata
When adding a new remote attribute, we write the attribute to the
new extent before the allocation transaction is committed. This
means we cannot reuse busy extents as that violates crash
consistency semantics. Hence we currently treat remote attribute
extent allocation like userdata because it has the same overwrite
ordering constraints as userdata.

Unfortunately, this also allows the allocator to incorrectly apply
extent size hints to the remote attribute extent allocation. This
results in interesting failures, such as transaction block
reservation overruns and in-memory inode attribute fork corruption.

To fix this, we need to separate the busy extent reuse configuration
from the userdata configuration. This changes the definition of
XFS_BMAPI_METADATA slightly - it now means that allocation is
metadata and reuse of busy extents is acceptible due to the metadata
ordering semantics of the journal. If this flag is not set, it
means the allocation is that has unordered data writeback, and hence
busy extent reuse is not allowed. It no longer implies the
allocation is for user data, just that the data write will not be
strictly ordered. This matches the semantics for both user data
and remote attribute block allocation.

As such, This patch changes the "userdata" field to a "datatype"
field, and adds a "no busy reuse" flag to the field.
When we detect an unordered data extent allocation, we immediately set
the no reuse flag. We then set the "user data" flags based on the
inode fork we are allocating the extent to. Hence we only set
userdata flags on data fork allocations now and consider attribute
fork remote extents to be an unordered metadata extent.

The result is that remote attribute extents now have the expected
allocation semantics, and the data fork allocation behaviour is
completely unchanged.

It should be noted that there may be other ways to fix this (e.g.
use ordered metadata buffers for the remote attribute extent data
write) but they are more invasive and difficult to validate both
from a design and implementation POV. Hence this patch takes the
simple, obvious route to fixing the problem...
