VM calculation for nr_to_write seems off. Bump it way
up, this gets simple streaming writes zippy again.

Unwritten extent conversion can recurse back into the filesystem due
to memory allocation. Memory reclaim requires I/O completions to be
processed to allow the callers to make progress. If the I/O
completion workqueue thread is doing the recursion, then we have a
deadlock situation.
Move unwritten extent completion into it's own workqueue so it
doesn't block I/O completions for normal delayed allocation or
overwrite data.

Hi.
I introduced "is_partially_uptodate" aops for XFS.
A page can have multiple buffers and even if a page is not uptodate,
some buffers can be uptodate on pagesize != blocksize environment.
This aops checks that all buffers which correspond to a part of a file
that we want to read are uptodate. If so, we do not have to issue actual
read IO to HDD even if a page is not uptodate because the portion we
want to read are uptodate.
"block_is_partially_uptodate" function is already used by ext2/3/4.
With the following patch random read/write mixed workloads or random read
after random write workloads can be optimized and we can get performance
improvement.
I did a performance test using the sysbench.

Once the Linux inode and the XFS inode are combined, we cannot rely on
just check if the linux inode exists as a method of determining if it is
valid or not. Hence we should always call xfs_mark_inode_dirty_sync()
instead as it does the correct checks to determine if the liinux inode is
in a valid state or not.

With the help from some tracing I found that we try to map extents beyond
eof when doing a direct I/O read. It appears that the way to inform the
generic direct I/O path (ie do_direct_IO()) that we have breached eof is
to return an unmapped buffer from xfs_get_blocks_direct(). This will cause
do_direct_IO() to jump to the hole handling code where is will check for
eof and then abort.
This problem was found because a direct I/O read was trying to map beyond
eof and was encountering delayed allocations. The delayed allocations
beyond eof are speculative allocations and they didn't get converted when
the direct I/O flushed the file because there was only enough space in the
current AG to convert and write out the dirty pages within eof. Note that
xfs_iomap_write_allocate() wont necessarily convert all the delayed
allocation passed to it - it will return after allocating the first extent
- so if the delayed allocation extends beyond eof then it will stay that
way.

Converting page lock to new locking bitops requires a change of page flag
operation naming, so we might as well convert it to something nicer
(!TestSetPageLocked_Lock => trylock_page, SetPageLocked => set_page_locked).

Use XFS_IS_REALTIME_INODE in more places, and #define it to 0 if
CONFIG_XFS_RT is off. This should be safe because mount checks in
xfs_rtmount_init:
so if we get mounted w/o CONFIG_XFS_RT, no realtime inodes should be
encountered after that.
Defining XFS_IS_REALTIME_INODE to 0 saves a bit of stack space,
presumeably gcc can optimize around the various "if (0)" type checks:
xfs_alloc_file_space -8 xfs_bmap_adjacent -16 xfs_bmapi -8
xfs_bmap_rtalloc -16 xfs_bunmapi -28 xfs_free_file_space -64 xfs_imap +8

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.

> 3. then for some time (< 30 sec) nothing happens (disk idle)

548 redirty_tail(inode);
549 }
More debug efforts show that __block_write_full_page()
never has the chance to call submit_bh() for that big dirty file:
the buffer head is *clean*. So basicly no page io is issued by
__block_write_full_page(), hence pages_skipped goes up.
Also the comment in generic_sync_sb_inodes():
544 /*
545 * writeback is not making progress due to locked
546 * buffers. Skip this inode for now.
547 */
and the comment in __block_write_full_page():
1713 /*
1714 * The page was marked dirty, but the buffers were
1715 * clean. Someone wrote them back by hand with
1716 * ll_rw_block/submit_bh. A rare case.
1717 */
do not quite agree with each other. The page writeback should be skipped for
'locked buffer', but here it is 'clean buffer'!
This patch fixes this bug. Though I'm not sure why __block_write_full_page()
is called only to do nothing and who actually issued the writeback for us.
This is the two possible new behaviors after the patch:
1) pretty nice: wait 30s and write ALL:)
2) not so good:
- during the dd: ~16M
- after 30s: ~4M
- after 5s: ~4M
- after 5s: ~176M
The next patch will fix case (2).

If we have multiple unwritten extents within a single page, we fail to
tell the I/o completion construction handlers we need a new handle for the
second and subsequent blocks in the page. While we still issue the I/O
correctly, we do not have the correct ranges recorded in the ioend
structures and hence when we go to convert the unwritten extents we screw
it up.
Make sure we start a new ioend every time the mapping changes so that we
convert the correct ranges on I/O completion.

Currently we do not wait on extent conversion to occur, and hence we can
return to userspace from a synchronous direct I/O write without having
completed all the actions in the write. Hence a read after the write may
see zeroes (unwritten extent) rather than the data that was written.
Block the I/O completion by triggering a synchronous workqueue flush to
ensure that the conversion has occurred before we return to userspace.

The recent fix for preventing NULL files from being left around does not
update the file size corectly in all cases. The missing case is a write
extending the file that does not need to allocate a block.
In that case we used a read mapping of the extent which forced the use of
the read I/O completion handler instead of the write I/O completion
handle. Hence the file size was not updated on I/O completion.

The problem that has been addressed is that of synchronising updates of
the file size with writes that extend a file. Without the fix the update
of a file's size, as a result of a write beyond eof, is independent of
when the cached data is flushed to disk. Often the file size update would
be written to the filesystem log before the data is flushed to disk. When
a system crashes between these two events and the filesystem log is
replayed on mount the file's size will be set but since the contents never
made it to disk the file is full of holes. If some of the cached data was
flushed to disk then it may just be a section of the file at the end that
has holes.
There are existing fixes to help alleviate this problem, particularly in
the case where a file has been truncated, that force cached data to be
flushed to disk when the file is closed. If the system crashes while the
file(s) are still open then this flushing will never occur.
The fix that we have implemented is to introduce a second file size,
called the in-memory file size, that represents the current file size as
viewed by the user. The existing file size, called the on-disk file size,
is the one that get's written to the filesystem log and we only update it
when it is safe to do so. When we write to a file beyond eof we only
update the in- memory file size in the write operation. Later when the I/O
operation, that flushes the cached data to disk completes, an I/O
completion routine will update the on-disk file size. The on-disk file
size will be updated to the maximum offset of the I/O or to the value of
the in-memory file size if the I/O includes eof.

When writing less than a filesystem block of data into an unwritten extent
via buffered I/O, __xfs_get_blocks fails to set the buffer new flag. As a
result, the generic code will not zero either edge of the block resulting
in garbage being written to disk either side of the real data. Set the
buffer new state on bufferd writes to unwritten extents to ensure that
zeroing occurs.

gcc-4.1 and more recent aggressively inline static functions which
increases XFS stack usage by ~15% in critical paths. Prevent this from
occurring by adding noinline to the STATIC definition.
Also uninline some functions that are too large to be inlined and were
causing problems with CONFIG_FORCED_INLINING=y.
Finally, clean up all the different users of inline, __inline and
__inline__ and put them under one STATIC_INLINE macro. For debug kernels
the STATIC_INLINE macro uninlines those functions.

XFS appears to call clear_page_dirty to get the mapping tree dirty tag
set correctly at the same time the page dirty flag is cleared. I note
that this can be done by set_page_writeback() if we clear the dirty flag
on the page first when we are writing back the entire page.
Hence it seems to me that the XFS call to clear_page_dirty() could
easily be substituted by clear_page_dirty_for_io() followed by a call to
set_page_writeback() to get the mapping tree tags set correctly after
the page has been marked clean.

The only time it is safe to call aio_complete() is when the ->ki_retry
function returns -EIOCBQUEUED to the AIO core. direct_io_worker() has
historically done this by relying on its caller to translate positive return
codes into -EIOCBQUEUED for the aio case. It did this by trying to keep
conditionals in sync. direct_io_worker() knew when finished_one_bio() was
going to call aio_complete(). It would reverse the test and wait and free the
dio in the cases it thought that finished_one_bio() wasn't going to.
Not surprisingly, it ended up getting it wrong. 'ret' could be a negative
errno from the submission path but it failed to communicate this to
finished_one_bio(). direct_io_worker() would return < 0, it's callers
wouldn't raise -EIOCBQUEUED, and aio_complete() would be called. In the
future finished_one_bio()'s tests wouldn't reflect this and aio_complete()
would be called for a second time which can manifest as an oops.
The previous cleanups have whittled the sync and async completion paths down
to the point where we can collapse them and clearly reassert the invariant
that we must only call aio_complete() after returning -EIOCBQUEUED.
direct_io_worker() will only return -EIOCBQUEUED when it is not the last to
drop the dio refcount and the aio bio completion path will only call
aio_complete() when it is the last to drop the dio refcount.
direct_io_worker() can ensure that it is the last to drop the reference count
by waiting for bios to drain. It does this for sync ops, of course, and for
partial dio writes that must fall back to buffered and for aio ops that saw
errors during submission.
This means that operations that end up waiting, even if they were issued as
aio ops, will not call aio_complete() from dio. Instead we return the return
code of the operation and let the aio core call aio_complete(). This is
purposely done to fix a bug where AIO DIO file extensions would call
aio_complete() before their callers have a chance to update i_size.
Now that direct_io_worker() is explicitly returning -EIOCBQUEUED its callers
no longer have to translate for it. XFS needs to be careful not to free
resources that will be used during AIO completion if -EIOCBQUEUED is returned.
We maintain the previous behaviour of trying to write fs metadata for O_SYNC
aio+dio writes.
