Now that we update the log tail LSN less frequently on transaction
completion, we pass the contention straight to the global log state lock
(l_iclog_lock) during transaction completion.
We currently have to take this lock to decrement the iclog reference
count. there is a reference count on each iclog, so we need to take þhe
global lock for all refcount changes.
When large numbers of processes are all doing small trnasctions, the iclog
reference counts will be quite high, and the state change that absolutely
requires the l_iclog_lock is the except rather than the norm.
Change the reference counting on the iclogs to use atomic_inc/dec so that
we can use atomic_dec_and_lock during transaction completion and avoid the
need for grabbing the l_iclog_lock for every reference count decrement
except the one that matters - the last.

When hundreds of processors attempt to commit transactions at the same
time, they can contend on the AIL lock when updating the tail LSN held in
the in-core log structure.
At the moment, the tail LSN is only needed when actually writing out an
iclog, so it really does not need to be updated on every single
transaction completion - only those that result in switching iclogs and
flushing them to disk.
The result is that we reduce the number of times we need to grab the AIL
lock and the log grant lock by up to two orders of magnitude on large
processor count machines. The problem has previously been hidden by AIL
lock contention walking the AIL list which was recently solved and
uncovered this issue.

Remove the xfs_icluster structure and replace with a radix tree lookup.
We don't need to keep a list of inodes in each cluster around anymore as
we can look them up quickly when we need to. The only time we need to do
this now is during inode writeback.
Factor the inode cluster writeback code out of xfs_iflush and convert it
to use radix_tree_gang_lookup() instead of walking a list of inodes built
when we first read in the inodes.
This remove 3 pointers from each xfs_inode structure and the xfs_icluster
structure per inode cluster. Hence we reduce the cache footprint of the
xfs_inodes by between 5-10% depending on cluster sparseness.
To be truly efficient we need a radix_tree_gang_lookup_range() call to
stop searching once we are past the end of the cluster instead of trying
to find a full cluster's worth of inodes.

When pdflush is writing back inodes, it can get stuck on inode cluster
buffers that are currently under I/O. This occurs when we write data to
multiple inodes in the same inode cluster at the same time.
Effectively, delayed allocation marks the inode dirty during the data
writeback. Hence if the inode cluster was flushed during the writeback of
the first inode, the writeback of the second inode will block waiting for
the inode cluster write to complete before writing it again for the newly
dirtied inode.
Basically, we want to avoid this from happening so we don't block pdflush
and slow down all of writeback. Hence we introduce a non-blocking async
inode flush flag that pdflush uses. If this flag is set, we use
non-blocking operations (e.g. try locks) whereever we can to avoid
blocking or extra I/O being issued.

wakeups
Idle state is not being detected properly by the xfsaild push code. The
current idle state is detected by an empty list which may never happen
with mostly idle filesystem or one using lazy superblock counters. A
single dirty item in the list that exists beyond the push target can
result repeated looping attempting to push up to the target because it
fails to check if the push target has been acheived or not.
Fix by considering a dirty list with everything past the target as an idle
state and set the timeout appropriately.

the "ikeep" option is set rather than "noikeep".
This regression was introduced in 970451.
With no mount options specified, xfs_parseargs() does the following:
int ikeep = 0;
args->flags |= XFSMNT_BARRIER;
args->flags2 |= XFSMNT2_COMPAT_IOSIZE;
if (!options)
goto done;
It only sets the above two options by default and before, it also used to
set XFSMNT_IDELETE by default.
If options are specified, then
if (!(args->flags & XFSMNT_DMAPI) && !ikeep)
args->flags |= XFSMNT_IDELETE;
is executed later on which is skipped by the "goto done;" above.
The solution is to invert the logic.

Together with the other patches of this series
- it enforced the correct order of getting/releasing the reference count on

- it prepares the VFS for stacking support since it is essential to have a

When many hundreds to thousands of threads all try to do simultaneous
transactions and the log is in a tail-pushing situation (i.e. full), we
can get multiple threads walking the AIL list and contending on the AIL
lock.
The AIL push is, in effect, a simple I/O dispatch algorithm complicated by
the ordering constraints placed on it by the transaction subsystem. It
really does not need multiple threads to push on it - even when only a
single CPU is pushing the AIL, it can push the I/O out far faster that
pretty much any disk subsystem can handle.
So, to avoid contention problems stemming from multiple list walkers, move
the list walk off into another thread and simply provide a "target" to
push to. When a thread requires a push, it sets the target and wakes the
push thread, then goes to sleep waiting for the required amount of space
to become available in the log.
This mechanism should also be a lot fairer under heavy load as the waiters
will queue in arrival order, rather than queuing in "who completed a push
first" order.
Also, by moving the pushing to a separate thread we can do more
effectively overload detection and prevention as we can keep context from
loop iteration to loop iteration. That is, we can push only part of the
list each loop and not have to loop back to the start of the list every
time we run. This should also help by reducing the number of items we try
to lock and/or push items that we cannot move.
Note that this patch is not intended to solve the inefficiencies in the
AIL structure and the associated issues with extremely large list
contents. That needs to be addresses separately; parallel access would
cause problems to any new structure as well, so I'm only aiming to isolate
the structure from unbounded parallelism here.

change the file size if requested.

The log force added in xfs_iget_core() has been a performance issue since
it was introduced for tight loops that allocate then unlink a single file.
under heavy writeback, this can introduce unnecessary latency due tothe
log I/o getting stuck behind bulk data writes.
Fix this latency problem by avoinding the need for the log force by moving
the place we mark linux inode dirty to the transaction commit rather than
on transaction completion.
This also closes a potential hole in the sync code where a linux inode is
not dirty between the time it is modified and the time the log buffer has
been written to disk.

Prevent transaction overrun in xfs_iomap_write_allocate() if we race with
a truncate that overlaps the delalloc range we were planning to allocate.
If we race, we may allocate into a hole and that requires block
allocation. At this point in time we don't have a reservation for block
allocation (apart from metadata blocks) and so allocating into a hole
rather than a delalloc region results in overflowing the transaction block
reservation.
Fix it by only allowing a single extent to be allocated at a time.
