In commit 9adf40249e6c, we changed the behavior of the AIL thread to
set its own task state to KILLABLE whenever the timeout value is
nonzero. Unfortunately, this missed the fact that xfsaild_push will
return 50ms (aka a longish sleep) when we reach the push target or the
AIL becomes empty, so xfsaild goes to sleep for a long period of time in
uninterruptible D state.
This results in artificially high load averages because KILLABLE
processes are UNINTERRUPTIBLE, which contributes to load average even
though the AIL is asleep waiting for someone to interrupt it. It's not
blocked on IOs or anything, but people scrap ps for processes that look
like they're stuck in D state, so restore the previous threshold.

The AIL pushing code spends a huge amount of time skipping over
items that are already marked as flushing. It is not uncommon to
see hundreds of thousands of items skipped every second due to inode
clustering marking all the inodes in a cluster as flushing when the
first one is flushed.
However, to discover an item is already flushing and should be
skipped we have to call the iop_push() method for it to try to flush
the item. For inodes (where this matters most), we have to first
check that inode is flushable first.
We can optimise this overhead away by tracking whether the log item
is flushing internally. This allows xfsaild_push() to check the log
item directly for flushing state and immediately skip the log item.
Whilst this doesn't remove the CPU cache misses for loading the log
item, it does avoid the overhead of an indirect function call
and the cache misses involved in accessing inode and
backing cluster buffer structures to determine flushing state. When
trying to flush hundreds of thousands of inodes each second, this
CPU overhead saving adds up quickly.
It's so noticeable that the biggest issue with pushing on the AIL on
fast storage becomes the 10ms back-off wait when we hit enough
pinned buffers to break out of the push loop but not enough for the
AIL pushing to be considered stuck. This limits the xfsaild to about
70% total CPU usage, and on fast storage this isn't enough to keep
the storage 100% busy.
The xfsaild will block on IO submission on slow storage and so is
self throttling - it does not need a backoff in the case where we
are really just breaking out of the walk to submit the IO we have
gathered.
Further with no backoff we don't need to gather huge delwri lists to
mitigate the impact of backoffs, so we can submit IO more frequently
and reduce the time log items spend in flushing state by breaking
out of the item push loop once we've gathered enough IO to batch
submission effectively.

Currently we track space used in the log by grant heads.
These store the reserved space as a physical log location and
combine both space reserved for future use with space already used in
the log in a single variable. The amount of space consumed in the
log is then calculated as the distance between the log tail and
the grant head.
The problem with tracking the grant head as a physical location
comes from the fact that it tracks both log cycle count and offset
into the log in bytes in a single 64 bit variable. because the cycle
count on disk is a 32 bit number, this also limits the offset into
the log to 32 bits. ANd because that is in bytes, we are limited to
being able to track only 2GB of log space in the grant head.
Hence to support larger physical logs, we need to track used space
differently in the grant head. We no longer use the grant head for
guiding AIL pushing, so the only thing it is now used for is
determining if we've run out of reservation space via the
calculation in xlog_space_left().
What we really need to do is move the grant heads away from tracking
physical space in the log. The issue here is that space consumed in
the log is not directly tracked by the current mechanism - the
space consumed in the log by grant head reservations gets returned
to the free pool by the tail of the log moving forward. i.e. the
space isn't directly tracked or calculated, but the used grant space
gets "freed" as the physical limits of the log are updated without
actually needing to update the grant heads.
Hence to move away from implicit, zero-update log space tracking we
need to explicitly track the amount of physical space the log
actually consumes separately to the in-memory reservations for
operations that will be committed to the journal. Luckily, we
already track the information we need to calculate this in the AIL
itself.
That is, the space currently consumed by the journal is the maximum
LSN that the AIL has seen minus the current log tail. As we update
both of these items dynamically as the head and tail of the log
moves, we always know exactly how much space the journal consumes.
This means that we also know exactly how much space the currently
active reservations require, and exactly how much free space we have
remaining for new reservations to be made. Most importantly, we know
what these spaces are indepedently of the physical locations of
the head and tail of the log.
Hence by separating out the physical space consumed by the journal,
we can now track reservations in the grant heads purely as a byte
count, and the log can be considered full when the tail space +
reservation space exceeds the size of the log. This means we can use
the full 64 bits of grant head space for reservation space,
completely removing the 32 bit byte count limitation on log size
that they impose.
Hence the first step in this conversion is to track and update the
"log tail space" every time the AIL tail or maximum seen LSN
changes.

The current implementation of xlog_assign_tail_lsn() assumes that
when the AIL is empty, the log tail matches the LSN of the last
written commit record. This is recorded in xlog_state_set_callback()
as log->l_last_sync_lsn when the iclog state changes to
XLOG_STATE_CALLBACK. This change is then immediately followed by
running the callbacks on the iclog which then insert the log items
into the AIL at the "commit lsn" of that checkpoint.
The AIL tracks log items via the start record LSN of the checkpoint,
not the commit record LSN. This is because we can pipeline multiple
checkpoints, and so the start record of checkpoint N+1 can be
written before the commit record of checkpoint N. i.e:
start N commit N
+-------------+------------+----------------+
start N+1 commit N+1
The tail of the log cannot be moved to the LSN of commit N when all
the items of that checkpoint are written back, because then the
start record for N+1 is no longer in the active portion of the log
and recovery will fail/corrupt the filesystem.
Hence when all the log items in checkpoint N are written back, the
tail of the log most now only move as far forwards as the start LSN
of checkpoint N+1.
Hence we cannot use the maximum start record LSN the AIL sees as a
replacement the pointer to the current head of the on-disk log
records. However, we currently only use the l_last_sync_lsn when the
AIL is empty - when there is no start LSN remaining, the tail of the
log moves to the LSN of the last commit record as this is where
recovery needs to start searching for recoverable records. THe next
checkpoint will have a start record LSN that is higher than
l_last_sync_lsn, and so everything still works correctly when new
checkpoints are written to an otherwise empty log.
l_last_sync_lsn is an atomic variable because it is currently
updated when an iclog with callbacks attached moves to the CALLBACK
state. While we hold the icloglock at this point, we don't hold the
AIL lock. When we assign the log tail, we hold the AIL lock, not the
icloglock because we have to look up the AIL. Hence it is an atomic
variable so it's not bound to a specific lock context.
However, the iclog callbacks are only used for CIL checkpoints. We
don't use callbacks with unmount record writes, so the
l_last_sync_lsn variable only gets updated when we are processing
CIL checkpoint callbacks. And those callbacks run under AIL lock
contexts, not icloglock context. The CIL checkpoint already knows
what the LSN of the iclog the commit record was written to (obtained
when written into the iclog before submission) and so we can update
the l_last_sync_lsn under the AIL lock in this callback. No other
iclog callbacks will run until the currently executing one
completes, and hence we can update the l_last_sync_lsn under the AIL
lock safely.
This means l_last_sync_lsn can move to the AIL as the "ail_head_lsn"
and it can be used to replace the atomic l_last_sync_lsn in the
iclog code. This makes tracking the log tail belong entirely to the
AIL, rather than being smeared across log, iclog and AIL state and
locking.

Whenever we write an iclog, we call xlog_assign_tail_lsn() to update
the current tail before we write it into the iclog header. This
means we have to take the AIL lock on every iclog write just to
check if the tail of the log has moved.
This doesn't avoid races with log tail updates - the log tail could
move immediately after we assign the tail to the iclog header and
hence by the time the iclog reaches stable storage the tail LSN has
moved forward in memory. Hence the log tail LSN in the iclog header
is really just a point in time snapshot of the current state of the
AIL.
With this in mind, if we simply update the in memory log->l_tail_lsn
every time it changes in the AIL, there is no need to update the in
memory value when we are writing it into an iclog - it will already
be up-to-date in memory and checking the AIL again will not change
this. Hence xlog_state_release_iclog() does not need to check the
AIL to update the tail lsn and can just sample it directly without
needing to take the AIL lock.

Currently the AIL attempts to keep 25% of the "log space" free,
where the current used space is tracked by the reserve grant head.
That is, it tracks both physical space used plus the amount reserved
by transactions in progress.
When we start tail pushing, we are trying to make space for new
reservations by writing back older metadata and the log is generally
physically full of dirty metadata, and reservations for modifications
in flight take up whatever space the AIL can physically free up.
Hence we don't really need to take into account the reservation
space that has been used - we just need to keep the log tail moving
as fast as we can to free up space for more reservations to be made.
We know exactly how much physical space the journal is consuming in
the AIL (i.e. max LSN - min LSN) so we can base push thresholds
directly on this state rather than have to look at grant head
reservations to determine how much to physically push out of the
log.
This also allows code that needs to know if log items in the current
transaction need to be pushed or re-logged to simply sample the
current target - they don't need to calculate the current target
themselves. This avoids the need for any locking when doing such
checks.
Further, moving to a physical target means we don't need "push all
until empty semantics" like were introduced in the previous patch.
We can now test and clear the "push all" as a one-shot command to
set the target to the current head of the AIL. This allows the
xfsaild to maximise the use of log space right up to the point where
conditions indicate that the xfsaild is not keeping up with load and
it needs to work harder, and as soon as those constraints go away
(i.e. external code no longer needs everything pushed) the xfsaild
will return to maintaining the normal 25% free space thresholds.

We have a mechanism that checks the amount of log space remaining
available every time we make a transaction reservation. If the
amount of space is below a threshold (25% free) we push on the AIL
to tell it to do more work. To do this, we end up calculating the
LSN that the AIL needs to push to on every reservation and updating
the push target for the AIL with that new target LSN.
This is silly and expensive. The AIL is perfectly capable of
calculating the push target itself, and it will always be running
when the AIL contains objects.
What the target does is determine if the AIL needs to do
any work before it goes back to sleep. If we haven't run out of
reservation space or memory (or some other push all trigger), it
will simply go back to sleep for a while if there is more than 25%
of the journal space free without doing anything.
If there are items in the AIL at a lower LSN than the target, it
will try to push up to the target or to the point of getting stuck
before going back to sleep and trying again soon after.`
Hence we can modify the AIL to calculate it's own 25% push target
before it starts a push using the same reserve grant head based
calculation as is currently used, and remove all the places where we
ask the AIL to push to a new 25% free target. We can also drop the
minimum free space size of 256BBs from the calculation because the
25% of a minimum sized log is *always going to be larger than
256BBs.
This does still require a manual push in certain circumstances.
These circumstances arise when the AIL is not full, but the
reservation grants consume the entire of the free space in the log.
In this case, we still need to push on the AIL to free up space, so
when we hit this condition (i.e. reservation going to sleep to wait
on log space) we do a single push to tell the AIL it should empty
itself. This will keep the AIL moving as new reservations come in
and want more space, rather than keep queuing them and having to
push the AIL repeatedly.
The reason for using the "push all" when grant space runs out is
that we can run out of grant space when there is more than 25% of
the log free. Small logs are notorious for this, and we have a hack
in the log callback code (xlog_state_set_callback()) where we push
the AIL because the *head* moved) to ensure that we kick the AIL
when we consume space in it because that can push us over the "less
than 25% available" available that starts tail pushing back up
again.
Hence when we run out of grant space and are going to sleep, we have
to consider that the grant space may be consuming almost all the log
space and there is almost nothing in the AIL. In this situation, the
AIL pins the tail and moving the tail forwards is the only way the
grant space will come available, so we have to force the AIL to push
everything to guarantee grant space will eventually be returned.
Hence triggering a "push all" just before sleeping removes all the
nasty corner cases we have in other parts of the code that work
around the "we didn't ask the AIL to push enough to free grant
space" condition that leads to log space hangs...

XFS has strict metadata ordering requirements. One of the things it
does is maintain the commit order of items from transaction commit
through the CIL and into the AIL. That is, if a transaction logs
item A before item B in a modification, then they will be inserted
into the CIL in the order {A, B}. These items are then written into
the iclog during checkpointing in the order {A, B}. When the
checkpoint commits, they are supposed to be inserted into the AIL in
the order {A, B}, and when they are pushed from the AIL, they are
pushed in the order {A, B}.
If we crash, log recovery then replays the two items from the
checkpoint in the order {A, B}, resulting in the objects the items
apply to being queued for writeback at the end of the checkpoint
in the order {A, B}. This means recovery behaves the same way as the
runtime code.
In places, we have subtle dependencies on this ordering being
maintained. One of this place is performing intent recovery from the
log. It assumes that recovering an intent will result in a
non-intent object being the first thing that is modified in the
recovery transaction, and so when the transaction commits and the
journal flushes, the first object inserted into the AIL beyond the
intent recovery range will be a non-intent item. It uses the
transistion from intent items to non-intent items to stop the
recovery pass.
A recent log recovery issue indicated that an intent was appearing
as the first item in the AIL beyond the recovery range, hence
breaking the end of recovery detection that exists.
Tracing indicated insertion of the items into the AIL was apparently
occurring in the right order (the intent was last in the commit item
list), but the intent was appearing first in the AIL. IOWs, the
order of items in the AIL was {D,C,B,A}, not {A,B,C,D}, and bulk
insertion was reversing the order of the items in the batch of items
being inserted.
Lucky for us, all the items fed to bulk insertion have the same LSN,
so the reversal of order does not affect the log head/tail tracking
that is based on the contents of the AIL. It only impacts on code
that has implicit, subtle dependencies on object order, and AFAICT
only the intent recovery loop is impacted by it.
Make sure bulk AIL insertion does not reorder items incorrectly.

Rewrite the core freezer to behave better wrt thawing and be simpler
in general.
By replacing PF_FROZEN with TASK_FROZEN, a special block state, it is
ensured frozen tasks stay frozen until thawed and don't randomly wake
up early, as is currently possible.
As such, it does away with PF_FROZEN and PF_FREEZER_SKIP, freeing up
two PF_flags (yay!).
Specifically; the current scheme works a little like:
freezer_do_not_count();
schedule();
freezer_count();
And either the task is blocked, or it lands in try_to_freezer()
through freezer_count(). Now, when it is blocked, the freezer
considers it frozen and continues.
However, on thawing, once pm_freezing is cleared, freezer_count()
stops working, and any random/spurious wakeup will let a task run
before its time.
That is, thawing tries to thaw things in explicit order; kernel
threads and workqueues before doing bringing SMP back before userspace
etc.. However due to the above mentioned races it is entirely possible
for userspace tasks to thaw (by accident) before SMP is back.
This can be a fatal problem in asymmetric ISA architectures (eg ARMv9)
where the userspace task requires a special CPU to run.
As said; replace this with a special task state TASK_FROZEN and add
the following state transitions:
TASK_FREEZABLE -> TASK_FROZEN
__TASK_STOPPED -> TASK_FROZEN
__TASK_TRACED -> TASK_FROZEN
The new TASK_FREEZABLE can be set on any state part of TASK_NORMAL
(IOW. TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE and TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE) -- any such state
is already required to deal with spurious wakeups and the freezer
causes one such when thawing the task (since the original state is
lost).
The special __TASK_{STOPPED,TRACED} states *can* be restored since
their canonical state is in ->jobctl.
With this, frozen tasks need an explicit TASK_FROZEN wakeup and are
free of undue (early / spurious) wakeups.

We've got a mess on our hands.
1. xfs_trans_commit() cannot cancel transactions because the mount is
shut down - that causes dirty, aborted, unlogged log items to sit
unpinned in memory and potentially get written to disk before the
log is shut down. Hence xfs_trans_commit() can only abort
transactions when xlog_is_shutdown() is true.
2. xfs_force_shutdown() is used in places to cause the current
modification to be aborted via xfs_trans_commit() because it may be
impractical or impossible to cancel the transaction directly, and
hence xfs_trans_commit() must cancel transactions when
xfs_is_shutdown() is true in this situation. But we can't do that
because of #1.
3. Log IO errors cause log shutdowns by calling xfs_force_shutdown()
to shut down the mount and then the log from log IO completion.
4. xfs_force_shutdown() can result in a log force being issued,
which has to wait for log IO completion before it will mark the log
as shut down. If #3 races with some other shutdown trigger that runs
a log force, we rely on xfs_force_shutdown() silently ignoring #3
and avoiding shutting down the log until the failed log force
completes.
5. To ensure #2 always works, we have to ensure that
xfs_force_shutdown() does not return until the the log is shut down.
But in the case of #4, this will result in a deadlock because the
log Io completion will block waiting for a log force to complete
which is blocked waiting for log IO to complete....
So the very first thing we have to do here to untangle this mess is
dissociate log shutdown triggers from mount shutdowns. We already
have xlog_forced_shutdown, which will atomically transistion to the
log a shutdown state. Due to internal asserts it cannot be called
multiple times, but was done simply because the only place that
could call it was xfs_do_force_shutdown() (i.e. the mount shutdown!)
and that could only call it once and once only. So the first thing
we do is remove the asserts.
We then convert all the internal log shutdown triggers to call
xlog_force_shutdown() directly instead of xfs_force_shutdown(). This
allows the log shutdown triggers to shut down the log without
needing to care about mount based shutdown constraints. This means
we shut down the log independently of the mount and the mount may
not notice this until it's next attempt to read or modify metadata.
At that point (e.g. xfs_trans_commit()) it will see that the log is
shutdown, error out and shutdown the mount.
To ensure that all the unmount behaviours and asserts track
correctly as a result of a log shutdown, propagate the shutdown up
to the mount if it is not already set. This keeps the mount and log
state in sync, and saves a huge amount of hassle where code fails
because of a log shutdown but only checks for mount shutdowns and
hence ends up doing the wrong thing. Cleaning up that mess is
an exercise for another day.
This enables us to address the other problems noted above in
followup patches.

xfs_ail_push_all_sync() has a loop like this:
while max_ail_lsn {
prepare_to_wait(ail_empty)
target = max_ail_lsn
wake_up(ail_task);
schedule()
}
Which is designed to sleep until the AIL is emptied. When
xfs_ail_update_finish() moves the tail of the log, it does:
if (list_empty(&ailp->ail_head))
wake_up_all(&ailp->ail_empty);
So it will only wake up the sync push waiter when the AIL goes
empty. If, by the time the push waiter has woken, the AIL has more
in it, it will reset the target, wake the push task and go back to
sleep.
The problem here is that if the AIL is having items added to it
when xfs_ail_push_all_sync() is called, then they may get inserted
into the AIL at a LSN higher than the target LSN. At this point,
xfsaild_push() will see that the target is X, the item LSNs are
(X+N) and skip over them, hence never pushing the out.
The result of this the AIL will not get emptied by the AIL push
thread, hence xfs_ail_finish_update() will never see the AIL being
empty even if it moves the tail. Hence xfs_ail_push_all_sync() never
gets woken and hence cannot update the push target to capture the
items beyond the current target on the LSN.
This is a TOCTOU type of issue so the way to avoid it is to not
use the push target at all for sync pushes. We know that a sync push
is being requested by the fact the ail_empty wait queue is active,
hence the xfsaild can just set the target to max_ail_lsn on every
push that we see the wait queue active. Hence we no longer will
leave items on the AIL that are beyond the LSN sampled at the start
of a sync push.

The AIL pushing is stalling on log forces when it comes across
pinned items. This is happening on removal workloads where the AIL
is dominated by stale items that are removed from AIL when the
checkpoint that marks the items stale is committed to the journal.
This results is relatively few items in the AIL, but those that are
are often pinned as directories items are being removed from are
still being logged.
As a result, many push cycles through the CIL will first issue a
blocking log force to unpin the items. This can take some time to
complete, with tracing regularly showing push delays of half a
second and sometimes up into the range of several seconds. Sequences
like this aren't uncommon:

In each of these cases, every AIL pass saw 101 log items stuck on
the AIL (pinned) with very few other items being found. Each pass, a
log force was issued, and delay between last/first is the sleep time
+ the sync log force time.
Some of these 101 items pinned the tail of the log. The tail of the
log does slowly creep forward (first lsn), but the problem is that
the log is actually out of reservation space because it's been
running so many transactions that stale items that never reach the
AIL but consume log space. Hence we have a largely empty AIL, with
long term pins on items that pin the tail of the log that don't get
pushed frequently enough to keep log space available.
The problem is the hundreds of milliseconds that we block in the log
force pushing the CIL out to disk. The AIL should not be stalled
like this - it needs to run and flush items that are at the tail of
the log with minimal latency. What we really need to do is trigger a
log flush, but then not wait for it at all - we've already done our
waiting for stuff to complete when we backed off prior to the log
force being issued.
Even if we remove the XFS_LOG_SYNC from the xfs_log_force() call, we
still do a blocking flush of the CIL and that is what is causing the
issue. Hence we need a new interface for the CIL to trigger an
immediate background push of the CIL to get it moving faster but not
to wait on that to occur. While the CIL is pushing, the AIL can also
be pushing.
We already have an internal interface to do this -
xlog_cil_push_now() - but we need a wrapper for it to be used
externally. xlog_cil_force_seq() can easily be extended to do what
we need as it already implements the synchronous CIL push via
xlog_cil_push_now(). Add the necessary flags and "push current
sequence" semantics to xlog_cil_force_seq() and convert the AIL
pushing to use it.
One of the complexities here is that the CIL push does not guarantee
that the commit record for the CIL checkpoint is written to disk.
The current log force ensures this by submitting the current ACTIVE
iclog that the commit record was written to. We need the CIL to
actually write this commit record to disk for an async push to
ensure that the checkpoint actually makes it to disk and unpins the
pinned items in the checkpoint on completion. Hence we need to pass
down to the CIL push that we are doing an async flush so that it can
switch out the commit_iclog if necessary to get written to disk when
the commit iclog is finally released.

xfsaild is racy with respect to transaction abort and shutdown in
that the task can idle or exit with an empty AIL but buffers still
on the delwri queue. This was partly addressed by cancelling the
delwri queue before the task exits to prevent memory leaks, but it's
also possible for xfsaild to empty and idle with buffers on the
delwri queue. For example, a transaction that pins a buffer that
also happens to sit on the AIL delwri queue will explicitly remove
the associated log item from the AIL if the transaction aborts. The
side effect of this is an unmount hang in xfs_wait_buftarg() as the
associated buffers remain held by the delwri queue indefinitely.
This is reproduced on repeated runs of generic/531 with an fs format
(-mrmapbt=1 -bsize=1k) that happens to also reproduce transaction
aborts.
Update xfsaild to not idle until both the AIL and associated delwri
queue are empty and update the push code to continue delwri queue
submission attempts even when the AIL is empty. This allows the AIL
to eventually release aborted buffers stranded on the delwri queue
when they are unlocked by the associated transaction. This should
have no significant effect on normal runtime behavior because the
xfsaild currently idles only when the AIL is empty and in practice
the AIL is rarely empty with a populated delwri queue. The items
must be AIL resident to land in the queue in the first place and
generally aren't removed until writeback completes.
Note that the pre-existing delwri queue cancel logic in the exit
path is retained because task stop is external, could technically
come at any point, and xfsaild is still responsible to release its
buffer references before it exits.

When we dirty an inode, we are going to have to write it disk at
some point in the near future. This requires the inode cluster
backing buffer to be present in memory. Unfortunately, under severe
memory pressure we can reclaim the inode backing buffer while the
inode is dirty in memory, resulting in stalling the AIL pushing
because it has to do a read-modify-write cycle on the cluster
buffer.
When we have no memory available, the read of the cluster buffer
blocks the AIL pushing process, and this causes all sorts of issues
for memory reclaim as it requires inode writeback to make forwards
progress. Allocating a cluster buffer causes more memory pressure,
and results in more cluster buffers to be reclaimed, resulting in
more RMW cycles to be done in the AIL context and everything then
backs up on AIL progress. Only the synchronous inode cluster
writeback in the the inode reclaim code provides some level of
forwards progress guarantees that prevent OOM-killer rampages in
this situation.
Fix this by pinning the inode backing buffer to the inode log item
when the inode is first dirtied (i.e. in xfs_trans_log_inode()).
This may mean the first modification of an inode that has been held
in cache for a long time may block on a cluster buffer read, but
we can do that in transaction context and block safely until the
buffer has been allocated and read.
Once we have the cluster buffer, the inode log item takes a
reference to it, pinning it in memory, and attaches it to the log
item for future reference. This means we can always grab the cluster
buffer from the inode log item when we need it.
When the inode is finally cleaned and removed from the AIL, we can
drop the reference the inode log item holds on the cluster buffer.
Once all inodes on the cluster buffer are clean, the cluster buffer
will be unpinned and it will be available for memory reclaim to
reclaim again.
This avoids the issues with needing to do RMW cycles in the AIL
pushing context, and hence allows complete non-blocking inode
flushing to be performed by the AIL pushing context.

Flush locked log items whose underlying buffers fail metadata
writeback are tagged with a special flag to indicate that the flush
lock is already held. This is currently implemented in the type
specific ->iop_push() callback, but the processing required for such
items is not type specific because we're only doing basic state
management on the underlying buffer.
Factor the failed log item handling out of the inode and dquot
->iop_push() callbacks and open code the buffer resubmit helper into
a single helper called from xfsaild_push_item(). This provides a
generic mechanism for handling failed metadata buffer writeback with
a bit less code.

We currently wake anything waiting on the log tail to move whenever
the log item at the tail of the log is removed. Historically this
was fine behaviour because there were very few items at any given
LSN. But with delayed logging, there may be thousands of items at
any given LSN, and we can't move the tail until they are all gone.
Hence if we are removing them in near tail-first order, we might be
waking up processes waiting on the tail LSN to change (e.g. log
space waiters) repeatedly without them being able to make progress.
This also occurs with the new sync push waiters, and can result in
thousands of spurious wakeups every second when under heavy direct
reclaim pressure.
To fix this, check that the tail LSN has actually changed on the
AIL before triggering wakeups. This will reduce the number of
spurious wakeups when doing bulk AIL removal and make this code much
more efficient.

Leaving PF_MEMALLOC set when exiting a kthread causes it to remain set
during do_exit(). That can confuse things. In particular, if BSD
process accounting is enabled, then do_exit() writes data to an
accounting file. If that file has FS_SYNC_FL set, then this write
occurs synchronously and can misbehave if PF_MEMALLOC is set.
For example, if the accounting file is located on an XFS filesystem,
then a WARN_ON_ONCE() in iomap_do_writepage() is triggered and the data
doesn't get written when it should. Or if the accounting file is
located on an ext4 filesystem without a journal, then a WARN_ON_ONCE()
in ext4_write_inode() is triggered and the inode doesn't get written.
Fix this in xfsaild() by using the helper functions to save and restore
PF_MEMALLOC.
This can be reproduced as follows in the kvm-xfstests test appliance
modified to add the 'acct' Debian package, and with kvm-xfstests's
recommended kconfig modified to add CONFIG_BSD_PROCESS_ACCT=y:

In the typical unmount case, the AIL is forced out by the unmount
sequence before the xfsaild task is stopped. Since AIL items are
removed on writeback completion, this means that the AIL
->ail_buf_list delwri queue has been drained. This is not always
true in the shutdown case, however.
It's possible for buffers to sit on a delwri queue for a period of
time across submission attempts if said items are locked or have
been relogged and pinned since first added to the queue. If the
attempt to log such an item results in a log I/O error, the error
processing can shutdown the fs, remove the item from the AIL, stale
the buffer (dropping the LRU reference) and clear its delwri queue
state. The latter bit means the buffer will be released from a
delwri queue on the next submission attempt, but this might never
occur if the filesystem has shutdown and the AIL is empty.
This means that such buffers are held indefinitely by the AIL delwri
queue across destruction of the AIL. Aside from being a memory leak,
these buffers can also hold references to in-core perag structures.
The latter problem manifests as a generic/475 failure, reproducing
the following asserts at unmount time:
XFS: Assertion failed: atomic_read(&pag->pag_ref) == 0,
file: fs/xfs/xfs_mount.c, line: 151
XFS: Assertion failed: atomic_read(&pag->pag_ref) == 0,
file: fs/xfs/xfs_mount.c, line: 132
To prevent this problem, clear the AIL delwri queue as a final step
before xfsaild() exit. The !empty state should never occur in the
normal case, so add an assert to catch unexpected problems going
forward.

The log item flags contain a field that is protected by the AIL
lock - the XFS_LI_IN_AIL flag. We use non-atomic RMW operations to
set and clear these flags, but most of the updates and checks are
not done with the AIL lock held and so are susceptible to update
races.
Fix this by changing the log item flags to use atomic bitops rather
than be reliant on the AIL lock for update serialisation.

xfsaild: __set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE)
xfsaild: schedule()
=> now, xfsaild will wait indefinitely
umount: wait_for_completion()
=> and umount will hang
To fix that, we need to check kthread_should_stop() after we set
the task state, so the xfsaild will either see the stop bit and
exit or the task state is reset to runnable by wake_up_process()
such that it isn't scheduled out indefinitely and detects the stop
bit at the next iteration.

Add an error injection tag to force log items in the AIL to the
pinned state. This option can be used by test infrastructure to
induce head behind tail conditions. Specifically, this is intended
to be used by xfstests to reproduce log recovery problems after
failed/corrupted log writes overwrite the last good tail LSN in the
log.
When enabled, AIL push attempts see log items in the AIL in the
pinned state. This stalls metadata writeback and thus prevents the
current tail of the log from moving forward. When disabled,
subsequent AIL pushes observe the log items in their appropriate
state and filesystem operation continues as normal.

When a buffer has been failed during writeback, the inode items into it
are kept flush locked, and are never resubmitted due the flush lock, so,
if any buffer fails to be written, the items in AIL are never written to
disk and never unlocked.
This causes unmount operation to hang due these items flush locked in AIL,
but this also causes the items in AIL to never be written back, even when
the IO device comes back to normal.
I've been testing this patch with a DM-thin device, creating a
filesystem larger than the real device.
When writing enough data to fill the DM-thin device, XFS receives ENOSPC
errors from the device, and keep spinning on xfsaild (when 'retry
forever' configuration is set).
At this point, the filesystem can not be unmounted because of the flush locked
items in AIL, but worse, the items in AIL are never retried at all
(once xfs_inode_item_push() will skip the items that are flush locked),
even if the underlying DM-thin device is expanded to the proper size.
This patch fixes both cases, retrying any item that has been failed
previously, using the infra-structure provided by the previous patch.

xfs_iflush_done uses an on-stack variable length array to pass the log
items to be deleted to xfs_trans_ail_delete_bulk. On-stack VLAs are a
nasty gcc extension that can lead to unbounded stack allocations, but
fortunately we can easily avoid them by simply open coding
xfs_trans_ail_delete_bulk in xfs_iflush_done, which is the only caller
of it except for the single-item xfs_trans_ail_delete.

The issue has been there for quite some time but it has been made
visible by only by 24ba16bb3d49 ("xfs: clear PF_NOFREEZE for xfsaild
kthread") because the suspend started seeing xfsaild.
The above commit has missed that the !xfs_ail_min branch might call
schedule with TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE without calling try_to_freeze so the pm
suspend would wake up the kernel thread over and over again without any
progress. What we want here is to use freezable_schedule instead to hide
the thread from the suspend.
While we are here also change schedule_timeout to freezable variant to
prevent from spurious wakeups by suspend.
[dchinner: re-add set_freezeable call so the freezer will account properly
for this kthread. ]

This reverts commit 24ba16bb3d499c49974669cd8429c3e4138ab102 as it
prevents machines from suspending. This regression occurs when the
xfsaild is idle on entry to suspend, and so there s no activity to
wake it from it's idle sleep and hence see that it is supposed to
freeze. Hence the freezer times out waiting for it and suspend is
cancelled.
There is no obvious fix for this short of freezing the filesystem
properly, so revert this change for now.

Since xfsaild has been converted to kthread in 0030807c, it calls
try_to_freeze() during every AIL push iteration. It however doesn't set
itself as freezable, and therefore this try_to_freeze() will never do
anything.
Before (hopefully eventually) kthread freezing gets converted to fileystem
freezing, we'd rather mark xfsaild freezable (as it can generate I/O
during suspend).

This patch modifies the stats counting macros and the callers
to those macros to properly increment, decrement, and add-to
the xfs stats counts. The counts for global and per-fs stats
are correctly advanced, and cleared by writing a "1" to the
corresponding clear file.
global counts: /sys/fs/xfs/stats/stats
per-fs counts: /sys/fs/xfs/sda*/stats/stats
global clear: /sys/fs/xfs/stats/stats_clear
per-fs clear: /sys/fs/xfs/sda*/stats/stats_clear
[dchinner: cleaned up macro variables, removed CONFIG_FS_PROC around
stats structures and macros. ]
