2014-06-06xfs: kill xfs_buf_geterror()Dave Chinner
Most of the callers are just calling ASSERT(!xfs_buf_geterror()) which means they are checking for bp->b_error == 0. If bp is null in this case, we will assert fail, and hence it's no different in result to oopsing because of a null bp. In some cases, errors have already been checked for or the function returning the buffer can't return a buffer with an error, so it's just a redundant assert. Either way, the assert can either be removed. The other two non-assert callers can just test for a buffer and error properly.

mkfs has turned on the XFS_SB_VERSION_NLINKBIT feature bit by default since November 2007. It's about time we simply made the kernel code turn it on by default and so always convert v1 inodes to v2 inodes when reading them in from disk or allocating them.

2014-04-24xfs: update the finobt on inode freeBrian Foster
An inode free operation can have several effects on the finobt. If all inodes have been freed and the chunk deallocated, we remove the finobt record. If the inode chunk was previously full, we must insert a new record based on the existing inobt record. Otherwise, we modify the record in place. Create the xfs_difree_finobt() function to identify the potential scenarios and update the finobt appropriately.

2014-03-07xfs: avoid AGI/AGF deadlock scenario for inode chunk allocationBrian Foster
The inode chunk allocation path can lead to deadlock conditions if a transaction is dirtied with an AGF (to fix up the freelist) for an AG that cannot satisfy the actual allocation request. This code path is written to try and avoid this scenario, but it can be reproduced by running xfstests generic/270 in a loop on a 512b fs. An example situation is: - process A attempts an inode allocation on AG 3, modifies the freelist, fails the allocation and ultimately moves on to AG 0 with the AG 3 AGF held - process B is doing a free space operation (i.e., truncate) and acquires the AG 0 AGF, waits on the AG 3 AGF - process A acquires the AG 0 AGI, waits on the AG 0 AGF (deadlock) The problem here is that process A acquired the AG 3 AGF while moving on to AG 0 (and releasing the AG 3 AGI with the AG 3 AGF held). xfs_dialloc() makes one pass through each of the AGs when attempting to allocate an inode chunk. The expectation is a clean transaction if a particular AG cannot satisfy the allocation request. xfs_ialloc_ag_alloc() is written to support this through use of the minalignslop allocation args field. When using the agi->agi_newino optimization, we attempt an exact bno allocation request based on the location of the previously allocated chunk. minalignslop is set to inform the allocator that we will require alignment on this chunk, and thus to not allow the request for this AG if the extra space is not available. Suppose that the AG in question has just enough space for this request, but not at the requested bno. xfs_alloc_fix_freelist() will proceed as normal as it determines the request should succeed, and thus it is allowed to modify the agf. xfs_alloc_ag_vextent() ultimately fails because the requested bno is not available. In response, the caller moves on to a NEAR_BNO allocation request for the same AG. The alignment is set, but the minalignslop field is never reset. This increases the overall requirement of the request from the first attempt. If this delta is the difference between allocation success and failure for the AG, xfs_alloc_fix_freelist() rejects this request outright the second time around and causes the allocation request to unnecessarily fail for this AG. To address this situation, reset the minalignslop field immediately after use and prevent it from leaking into subsequent requests.

To separate the verifiers from iodone functions and associate read and write verifiers at the same time, introduce a buffer verifier operations structure to the xfs_buf. This avoids the need for assigning the write verifier, clearing the iodone function and re-running ioend processing in the read verifier, and gets rid of the nasty "b_pre_io" name for the write verifier function pointer. If we ever need to, it will also be easier to add further content specific callbacks to a buffer with an ops structure in place. We also avoid needing to export verifier functions, instead we can simply export the ops structures for those that are needed outside the function they are defined in. This patch also fixes a directory block readahead verifier issue it exposed. This patch also adds ops callbacks to the inode/alloc btree blocks initialised by growfs.

2012-11-15xfs: make buffer read verication an IO completion functionDave Chinner
Add a verifier function callback capability to the buffer read interfaces. This will be used by the callers to supply a function that verifies the contents of the buffer when it is read from disk. This patch does not provide callback functions, but simply modifies the interfaces to allow them to be called. The reason for adding this to the read interfaces is that it is very difficult to tell fom the outside is a buffer was just read from disk or whether we just pulled it out of cache. Supplying a callbck allows the buffer cache to use it's internal knowledge of the buffer to execute it only when the buffer is read from disk. It is intended that the verifier functions will mark the buffer with an EFSCORRUPTED error when verification fails. This allows the reading context to distinguish a verification error from an IO error, and potentially take further actions on the buffer (e.g. attempt repair) based on the error reported.
