2010-01-21xfs: implement quota warnings via netlinkChristoph Hellwig
Wire up quota_send_warning to send quota warnings over netlink. This is used by various desktops to show user quota warnings. Tested by running the quota_nld daemon while running the xfstest quota tests and observing the warnings. I'll see how I can get a more formal testcase for it written.

2010-01-15xfs: Replace per-ag array with a radix treeDave Chinner
The use of an array for the per-ag structures requires reallocation of the array when growing the filesystem. This requires locking access to the array to avoid use after free situations, and the locking is difficult to get right. To avoid needing to reallocate an array, change the per-ag structures to an allocated object per ag and index them using a tree structure. The AGs are always densely indexed (hence the use of an array), but the number supported is 2^32 and lookups tend to be random and hence indexing needs to scale. A simple choice is a radix tree - it works well with this sort of index. This change also removes another large contiguous allocation from the mount/growfs path in XFS. The growing process now needs to change to only initialise the new AGs required for the extra space, and as such only needs to exclusively lock the tree for inserts. The rest of the code only needs to lock the tree while doing lookups, and hence this will remove all the deadlocks that currently occur on the m_perag_lock as it is now an innermost lock. The lock is also changed to a spinlock from a read/write lock as the hold time is now extremely short. To complete the picture, the per-ag structures will need to be reference counted to ensure that we don't free/modify them while they are still in use. This will be done in subsequent patch.

2010-01-15xfs: xfs_swap_extents needs to handle dynamic fork offsetsDave Chinner
When swapping extents, we can corrupt inodes by swapping data forks that are in incompatible formats. This is caused by the two indoes having different fork offsets due to the presence of an attribute fork on an attr2 filesystem. xfs_fsr tries to be smart about setting the fork offset, but the trick it plays only works on attr1 (old fixed format attribute fork) filesystems. Changing the way xfs_fsr sets up the attribute fork will prevent this situation from ever occurring, so in the kernel code we can get by with a preventative fix - check that the data fork in the defragmented inode is in a format valid for the inode it is being swapped into. This will lead to files that will silently and potentially repeatedly fail defragmentation, so issue a warning to the log when this particular failure occurs to let us know that xfs_fsr needs updating/fixing. To help identify how to improve xfs_fsr to avoid this issue, add trace points for the inodes being swapped so that we can determine why the swap was rejected and to confirm that the code is making the right decisions and modifications when swapping forks. A further complication is even when the swap is allowed to proceed when the fork offset is different between the two inodes then value for the maximum number of extents the data fork can hold can be wrong. Make sure these are also set correctly after the swap occurs. Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner <david@fromorbit.com> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Alex Elder <aelder@sgi.com>

2010-01-15xfs: reclaim all inodes by background tree walksDave Chinner
We cannot do direct inode reclaim without taking the flush lock to ensure that we do not reclaim an inode under IO. We check the inode is clean before doing direct reclaim, but this is not good enough because the inode flush code marks the inode clean once it has copied the in-core dirty state to the backing buffer. It is the flush lock that determines whether the inode is still under IO, even though it is marked clean, and the inode is still required at IO completion so we can't reclaim it even though it is clean in core. Hence the requirement that we need to take the flush lock even on clean inodes because this guarantees that the inode writeback IO has completed and it is safe to reclaim the inode. With delayed write inode flushing, we coul dend up waiting a long time on the flush lock even for a clean inode. The background reclaim already handles this efficiently, so avoid all the problems by killing the direct reclaim path altogether.

2010-01-10xfs: Ensure we force all busy extents in range to diskDave Chinner
When we search for and find a busy extent during allocation we force the log out to ensure the extent free transaction is on disk before the allocation transaction. The current implementation has a subtle bug in it--it does not handle multiple overlapping ranges. That is, if we free lots of little extents into a single contiguous extent, then allocate the contiguous extent, the busy search code stops searching at the first extent it finds that overlaps the allocated range. It then uses the commit LSN of the transaction to force the log out to. Unfortunately, the other busy ranges might have more recent commit LSNs than the first busy extent that is found, and this results in xfs_alloc_search_busy() returning before all the extent free transactions are on disk for the range being allocated. This can lead to potential metadata corruption or stale data exposure after a crash because log replay won't replay all the extent free transactions that cover the allocation range.
