There is no reason to keep a reference to the inode even if we unlock
it during transaction commit because we never drop a reference between
the ijoin and commit. Also use this fact to merge xfs_trans_ijoin_ref
back into xfs_trans_ijoin - the third argument decides if an unlock
is needed now.I'm actually starting to wonder if allowing inodes to be unlocked
at transaction commit really is worth the effort. The only real
benefit is that they can be unlocked earlier when commiting a
synchronous transactions, but that could be solved by doing the
log force manually after the unlock, too.Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig

Now that all the read-only users of xfs_bmapi have been converted to
use xfs_bmapi_read(), we can remove all the read-only handling cases
from xfs_bmapi().Once this is done, rename xfs_bmapi to xfs_bmapi_write to reflect
the fact it is for allocation only. This enables us to kill the
XFS_BMAPI_WRITE flag as well.Also clean up xfs_bmapi_write to the style used in the newly added
xfs_bmapi_read/delay functions.Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner

Delalloc reservations are much simpler than allocations, so give
them a separate bmapi-level interface. Using the previously added
xfs_bmapi_reserve_delalloc we get a function that is only minimally
more complicated than xfs_bmapi_read, which is far from the complexity
in xfs_bmapi. Also remove the XFS_BMAPI_DELAY code after switching
over the only user to xfs_bmapi_delay.Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig

xfs_bmapi() currently handles both extent map reading and
allocation. As a result, the code is littered with "if (wr)"
branches to conditionally do allocation operations if required.
This makes the code much harder to follow and causes significant
indent issues with the code.Given that read mapping is much simpler than allocation, we can
split out read mapping from xfs_bmapi() and reuse the logic that
we have already factored out do do all the hard work of handling the
extent map manipulations. The results in a much simpler function for
the common extent read operations, and will allow the allocation
code to be simplified in another commit.Once xfs_bmapi_read() is implemented, convert all the callers of
xfs_bmapi() that are only reading extents to use the new function.Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner

rounddown_power_of_2() returns an undefined result when passed a
value of zero. The specualtive delayed allocation code is doing this
when the inode is zero length. Hence occasionally the preallocation
is much, much larger than is necessary (e.g. 8GB for a 270 _byte_
file). Ensure we don't even pass a zero value to this function so
the result of preallocation is always the desired size.Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner

Currently the size of the speculative preallocation during delayed
allocation is fixed by either the allocsize mount option of a
default size. We are seeing a lot of cases where we need to
recommend using the allocsize mount option to prevent fragmentation
when buffered writes land in the same AG.Rather than using a fixed preallocation size by default (up to 64k),
make it dynamic by basing it on the current inode size. That way the
EOF preallocation will increase as the file size increases. Hence
for streaming writes we are much more likely to get large
preallocations exactly when we need it to reduce fragementation.For default settings, the size of the initial extents is determined
by the number of parallel writers and the amount of memory in the
machine. For 4GB RAM and 4 concurrent 32GB file writes:EXT: FILE-OFFSET BLOCK-RANGE AG AG-OFFSET TOTAL

where there are large slow growing log files on a nearly full
filesystem may cause premature ENOSPC. Hence as the filesystem nears
full, the maximum dynamic prealloc size іs reduced according to this
table (based on 4k block size):freespace max prealloc size
>5% full extent (8GB)
4-5% 2GB (8GB >> 2)
3-4% 1GB (8GB >> 3)
2-3% 512MB (8GB >> 4)
1-2% 256MB (8GB >> 5)
> 6)This should reduce the amount of space held in speculative
preallocation for such cases.The allocsize mount option turns off the dynamic behaviour and fixes
the prealloc size to whatever the mount option specifies. i.e. the
behaviour is unchanged.Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner

Currently we need to either call IHOLD or xfs_trans_ihold on an inode when
joining it to a transaction via xfs_trans_ijoin.This patches instead makes xfs_trans_ijoin usable on it's own by doing
an implicity xfs_trans_ihold, which also allows us to drop the third
argument. For the case where we want to hold a reference on the inode
a xfs_trans_ijoin_ref wrapper is added which does the IHOLD and marks
the inode for needing an xfs_iput. In addition to the cleaner interface

Convert the old xfs tracing support that could only be used with the
out of tree kdb and xfsidbg patches to use the generic event tracer.To use it make sure CONFIG_EVENT_TRACING is enabled and then enable
all xfs trace channels by:echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/xfs/enable
or alternatively enable single events by just doing the same in one
event subdirectory, e.g.echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/xfs/xfs_ihold/enable
or set more complex filters, etc. In Documentation/trace/events.txt
all this is desctribed in more detail. To reads the events do acat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace
Compared to the last posting this patch converts the tracing mostly to
the one tracepoint per callsite model that other users of the new
tracing facility also employ. This allows a very fine-grained control
of the tracing, a cleaner output of the traces and also enables the
perf tool to use each tracepoint as a virtual performance counter,
allowing us to e.g. count how often certain workloads git various
spots in XFS. Take a look athttp://lwn.net/Articles/346470/
for some examples.
Also the btree tracing isn't included at all yet, as it will require
additional core tracing features not in mainline yet, I plan to
deliver it later.And the really nice thing about this patch is that it actually removes
many lines of code while adding this nice functionality:fs/xfs/Makefile | 8

When we are writing to a single file and hit ENOSPC, we trigger a background
flush of the inode and try again. Because we hold page locks and the iolock,
the flush won't proceed until after we release these locks. This occurs once
we've given up and ENOSPC has been reported. Hence if this one is the only
dirty inode in the system, we'll get an ENOSPC prematurely.To fix this, remove the async flush from the allocation routines and move
it to the top of the write path where we can do a synchronous flush
and retry the write again. Only retry once as a second ENOSPC indicates
that we really are ENOSPC.This avoids a page cache deadlock when trying to do this flush synchronously
in the allocation layer that was identified by Mikulas Patocka.Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner

Currently xfs_device_flush calls sync_blockdev() which is
a no-op for XFS as all it's metadata is held in a different
address to the one sync_blockdev() works on.Call xfs_sync_inodes() instead to flush all the delayed
allocation blocks out. To do this as efficiently as possible,
do it via two passes - one to do an async flush of all the
dirty blocks and a second to wait for all the IO to complete.
This requires some modification to the xfs-sync_inodes_ag()
flush code to do efficiently.Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner

The bmap btree split code relies on a previous data extent allocation
(from xfs_bmap_btalloc()) to find an AG that has sufficient space to
perform a full btree split, when inserting the extent. When converting
unwritten extents we don't allocate a data extent so a btree split will be
the first allocation. In this case we need to set minleft so the allocator

allocation. At this point in time we don't have a reservation for block
allocation (apart from metadata blocks) and so allocating into a hole
rather than a delalloc region results in overflowing the transaction block
reservation.Fix it by only allowing a single extent to be allocated at a time.

xfs_iocore_t is a structure embedded in xfs_inode. Except for one field it
just duplicates fields already in xfs_inode, and there is nothing this
abstraction buys us on XFS/Linux. This patch removes it and shrinks source
and binary size of xfs aswell as shrinking the size of xfs_inode by 60/44
bytes in debug/non-debug builds.SGI-PV: 970852

Currently there is an indirection called ioops in the XFS data I/O path.
Various functions are called by functions pointers, but there is no
coherence in what this is for, and of course for XFS itself it's entirely
unused. This patch removes it instead and significantly reduces source and
binary size of XFS while making maintaince easier.SGI-PV: 970841
