Currently the xfs_inode.h header has a dependency on the definition
of the BMAP btree records as the inode fork includes an array of
xfs_bmbt_rec_host_t objects in it's 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_format.h to continue the process of centralising the on-disk

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
translate to any userspace changes at all.

went in; every read or write ends up doing fput() and we get a pair
of extra context switches out of that (plus quite a bit of work
in queue_work itselfi, apparently). Use of schedule_delayed_work()
gives it a chance to accumulate a bit before we do __fput() on all
of them. I'm not too happy about that solution, but... on at least

Btrfs: release path before starting transaction in can_nocow_extent
The UDF driver was not strict enough about checking the IDs in the
VSDs when mounting, which resulted in reading through all the sectors
of the block device in some unfortunate cases. Eg, trying to mount my
uninitialized 200G SSD partition (all 0xFF bytes) took ~350 minutes to
fail, because the code expected some of the valid IDs or a zero byte.
During this, the mount couldn't be killed, sync from the cmdline
blocked, and the machine froze into the shutdown. Valid filesystems
(extX, btrfs, ntfs) were rejected by the mere accident of having a
zero byte at just the right place in some of their sectors, close
enough to the beginning not to generate excess I/O. The fix adds a
hard limit on the VSD sector offset, adds the two missing VSD IDs, and
stops scanning when encountering an invalid ID. Also replaced the
magic number 32768 with a more meaningful #define, and supressed the
bogus message about failing to read the first sector if no UDF fs was
detected.

Previously, do_checkpoint() will call congestion_wait() for waiting the pages
(previous submitted node/meta/data pages) to be written back.
Because congestion_wait() will set a regular period (e.g. HZ / 50 ) for waiting, and
no additional wake up mechanism was introduced if IO ends up before regular period costed.
Yuan Zhong found there is a situation that after the pages have been written back,
but the checkpoint thread still wait for congestion_wait to exit.
So here we store checkpoint task into f2fs_sb when doing checkpoint, it'll wait for IO completes
if there's IO going on, and in the end IO path, wake up checkpoint task when IO ends up.

Commit 4e7ea81db5(ext4: restructure writeback path) introduces another
performance regression on random write:
- one more page may be added to ext4 extent in
mpage_prepare_extent_to_map, and will be submitted for I/O so
nr_to_write will become -1 before 'done' is set
- the worse thing is that dirty pages may still be retrieved from page
cache after nr_to_write becomes negative, so lots of small chunks
can be submitted to block device when page writeback is catching up
with write path, and performance is hurted.
On one arm A15 board with sata 3.0 SSD(CPU: 1.5GHz dura core, RAM:
2GB, SATA controller: 3.0Gbps), this patch can improve below test's
result from 157MB/sec to 174MB/sec(>10%):

This patch makes sure no more pages than nr_to_write can be added to
extent for mapping, so that nr_to_write won't become negative.

When xfs_growfs_data_private() is updating backup superblocks,
it bails out on the first error encountered, whether reading or
writing:
* If we get an error writing out the alternate superblocks,
* just issue a warning and continue. The real work is
* already done and committed.
This can cause a problem later during repair, because repair
looks at all superblocks, and picks the most prevalent one
as correct. If we bail out early in the backup superblock
loop, we can end up with more "bad" matching superblocks than
good, and a post-growfs repair may revert the filesystem to
the old geometry.
With the combination of superblock verifiers and old bugs,
we're more likely to encounter read errors due to verification.
And perhaps even worse, we don't even properly write any of the
newly-added superblocks in the new AGs.
Even with this change, growfs will still say:
xfs_growfs: XFS_IOC_FSGROWFSDATA xfsctl failed: Structure needs cleaning
data blocks changed from 319815680 to 335216640
which might be confusing to the user, but it at least communicates
that something has gone wrong, and dmesg will probably highlight
the need for an xfs_repair.
And this is still best-effort; if verifiers fail on more than
half the backup supers, they may still "win" - but that's probably
best left to repair to more gracefully handle by doing its own
strict verification as part of the backup super "voting."

Recent analysis of a deadlocked XFS filesystem from a kernel
crash dump indicated that the filesystem was stuck waiting for log
space. The short story of the hang on the RHEL6 kernel is this:
- the tail of the log is pinned by an inode
- the inode has been pushed by the xfsaild
- the inode has been flushed to it's backing buffer and is
currently flush locked and hence waiting for backing
buffer IO to complete and remove it from the AIL
- the backing buffer is marked for write - it is on the
delayed write queue
- the inode buffer has been modified directly and logged
recently due to unlinked inode list modification
- the backing buffer is pinned in memory as it is in the
active CIL context.
- the xfsbufd won't start buffer writeback because it is
pinned
- xfssyncd won't force the log because it sees the log as
needing to be covered and hence wants to issue a dummy
transaction to move the log covering state machine along.
Hence there is no trigger to force the CIL to the log and hence
unpin the inode buffer and therefore complete the inode IO, remove
it from the AIL and hence move the tail of the log along, allowing
transactions to start again.
Mainline kernels also have the same deadlock, though the signature
is slightly different - the inode buffer never reaches the delayed
write lists because xfs_buf_item_push() sees that it is pinned and
hence never adds it to the delayed write list that the xfsaild
flushes.
There are two possible solutions here. The first is to simply force
the log before trying to cover the log and so ensure that the CIL is
emptied before we try to reserve space for the dummy transaction in
the xfs_log_worker(). While this might work most of the time, it is
still racy and is no guarantee that we don't get stuck in
xfs_trans_reserve waiting for log space to come free. Hence it's not
the best way to solve the problem.
The second solution is to modify xfs_log_need_covered() to be aware
of the CIL. We only should be attempting to cover the log if there
is no current activity in the log - covering the log is the process
of ensuring that the head and tail in the log on disk are identical
(i.e. the log is clean and at idle). Hence, by definition, if there
are items in the CIL then the log is not at idle and so we don't
need to attempt to cover it.
When we don't need to cover the log because it is active or idle, we
issue a log force from xfs_log_worker() - if the log is idle, then
this does nothing. However, if the log is active due to there being
items in the CIL, it will force the items in the CIL to the log and
unpin them.
In the case of the above deadlock scenario, instead of
xfs_log_worker() getting stuck in xfs_trans_reserve() attempting to
cover the log, it will instead force the log, thereby unpinning the
inode buffer, allowing IO to be issued and complete and hence
removing the inode that was pinning the tail of the log from the
AIL. At that point, everything will start moving along again. i.e.
the xfs_log_worker turns back into a watchdog that can alleviate
deadlocks based around pinned items that prevent the tail of the log
from being moved...

Buffer allocation has a very crude indefinite loop around waking the
flusher threads and performing global NOFS direct reclaim because it can
not handle allocation failures.
The most immediate problem with this is that the allocation may fail due
to a memory cgroup limit, where flushers + direct reclaim might not make
any progress towards resolving the situation at all. Because unlike the
global case, a memory cgroup may not have any cache at all, only
anonymous pages but no swap. This situation will lead to a reclaim
livelock with insane IO from waking the flushers and thrashing unrelated
filesystem cache in a tight loop.
Use __GFP_NOFAIL allocations for buffers for now. This makes sure that
any looping happens in the page allocator, which knows how to
orchestrate kswapd, direct reclaim, and the flushers sensibly. It also
allows memory cgroups to detect allocations that can't handle failure
and will allow them to ultimately bypass the limit if reclaim can not
make progress.

When dlm_release_lockspace(ls, 1) is invoked on a busy system
immediately after the last dlm_unlock() AST has finished it can occur
that lkb_idr_is_local() is invoked for the unlocked LKB since removal
from ls_lkbidr only occurs after the AST has returned. If that happens
dlm_release_lockspace(ls, 1) will return -EBUSY instead of releasing
the lockspace. Fix this race condition by changing lkb_idr_is_local()
such that it only returns true for LKB's that have not yet been
unlocked.

ext4 counts journal space as bsddf overhead, but ext3 does not.
For some reason when I patched ext4 I thought I should leave
ext3 alone, but frankly it makes more sense to fix it, I think.
Otherwise we get inconsistent behavior from ext3 under ext3.ko,
and ext3 under ext4.ko, which is not at all desirable...
This is testable by xfstests shared/289, though it will need
modification because it currently special-cases ext3.
