xfs: inode log reservations are still too small
Back in commit 23956703 ("xfs: inode log reservations are too
small"), the reservation size was increased to take into account the
difference in size between the in-memory BMBT block headers and the
on-disk BMDR headers. This solved a transaction overrun when logging
the inode size.
Recently, however, we've seen a number of these same overruns on
kernels with the above fix in it. All of them have been by 4 bytes,
so we must still not be accounting for something correctly.
Through inspection it turns out the above commit didn't take into
account everything it should have. That is, it only accounts for a
single log op_hdr structure, when it can actually require up to four
op_hdrs - one for each region (log iovec) that is formatted. These
regions are the inode log format header, the inode core, and the two
forks that can be held in the literal area of the inode.
This means we are not accounting for 36 bytes of log space that the
transaction can use, and hence when we get inodes in certain formats
with particular fragmentation patterns we can overrun the
transaction. Fix this by adding the correct accounting for log
op_headers in the transaction.

xfs: xfs_check_page_type buffer checks need help
xfs_aops_discard_page() was introduced in the following commit:
xfs: truncate delalloc extents when IO fails in writeback
... to clean up left over delalloc ranges after I/O failure in
->writepage(). generic/224 tests for this scenario and occasionally
reproduces panics on sub-4k blocksize filesystems.
The cause of this is failure to clean up the delalloc range on a
page where the first buffer does not match one of the expected
states of xfs_check_page_type(). If a buffer is not unwritten,
delayed or dirty&mapped, xfs_check_page_type() stops and
immediately returns 0.
The stress test of generic/224 creates a scenario where the first
several buffers of a page with delayed buffers are mapped & uptodate
and some subsequent buffer is delayed. If the ->writepage() happens
to fail for this page, xfs_aops_discard_page() incorrectly skips
the entire page.
This then causes later failures either when direct IO maps the range
and finds the stale delayed buffer, or we evict the inode and find
that the inode still has a delayed block reservation accounted to
it.
We can easily fix this xfs_aops_discard_page() failure by making
xfs_check_page_type() check all buffers, but this breaks
xfs_convert_page() more than it is already broken. Indeed,
xfs_convert_page() wants xfs_check_page_type() to tell it if the
first buffers on the pages are of a type that can be aggregated into
the contiguous IO that is already being built.
xfs_convert_page() should not be writing random buffers out of a
page, but the current behaviour will cause it to do so if there are
buffers that don't match the current specification on the page.
Hence for xfs_convert_page() we need to:
a) return "not ok" if the first buffer on the page does not
match the specification provided to we don't write anything;
and
b) abort it's buffer-add-to-io loop the moment we come
across a buffer that does not match the specification.
Hence we need to fix both xfs_check_page_type() and
xfs_convert_page() to work correctly with pages that have mixed
buffer types, whilst allowing xfs_aops_discard_page() to scan all
buffers on the page for a type match.

xfs: avoid AGI/AGF deadlock scenario for inode chunk allocation
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.

xfs: use NOIO contexts for vm_map_ram
When we map pages in the buffer cache, we can do so in GFP_NOFS
contexts. However, the vmap interfaces do not provide any method of
communicating this information to memory reclaim, and hence we get
lockdep complaining about it regularly and occassionally see hangs
that may be vmap related reclaim deadlocks. We can also see these
same problems from anywhere where we use vmalloc for a large buffer
(e.g. attribute code) inside a transaction context.
A typical lockdep report shows up as a reclaim state warning like so:
[14046.101458] =================================

Now, we can't completely remove these traces - mainly because
vm_map_ram() will do GFP_KERNEL allocation and that generates the
above warning before we get into the reclaim code, but we can turn
them all into false positive warnings.
To do that, use the method that DM and other IO context code uses to
avoid this problem: there is a process flag to tell memory reclaim
not to do IO that we can set appropriately. That prevents GFP_KERNEL
context reclaim being done from deep inside the vmalloc code in
places we can't directly pass a GFP_NOFS context to. That interface
has a pair of wrapper functions: memalloc_noio_save() and
memalloc_noio_restore().
Adding them around vm_map_ram and the vzalloc call in
kmem_alloc_large() will prevent deadlocks and most lockdep reports
for this issue. Also, convert the vzalloc() call in
kmem_alloc_large() to use __vmalloc() so that we can pass the
correct gfp context to the data page allocation routine inside
__vmalloc() so that it is clear that GFP_NOFS context is important
to this vmalloc call.

xfs: don't leak EFSBADCRC to userspace
While the verifier routines may return EFSBADCRC when a buffer has
a bad CRC, we need to translate that to EFSCORRUPTED so that the
higher layers treat the error appropriately and we return a
consistent error to userspace. This fixes a xfs/005 regression.
