- xfs_sb.h add the XFS_SB_VERSION2_PARENTBIT features2 that has been
around in userspace for some time
- xfs_inode.h: move a few things out of __KERNEL__ that are needed by
userspace
- xfs_mount.h: only include xfs_sync.h under __KERNEL__
- xfs_inode.c: minor whitespace fixup. I accidentaly changes this when
importing this file for use by userspace.

There's almost nothing left in this function, instead remove the IRELE
on the real times inodes and the call to XFS_QM_UNMOUNT into xfs_unmountfs.
For the regular unmount case that means it now also happenes after dmapi
notification, but otherwise there is no difference in behaviour.

Currently we explicitly call xfs_iflush on the quota, real-time and root
inodes from xfs_unmount_flush. But we just called xfs_sync_inodes with
SYNC_ATTR and do an XFS_bflush aka xfs_flush_buftarg to make sure all inodes
are on disk already, so there is no need for these special cases.

No need to parse the mount option into a structure before applying it to
struct xfs_mount.
The content of xfs_start_flags gets merged into xfs_parseargs. Calls
inbetween don't care and can use mount members instead of the args struct.
This patch uncovered that the mount option for shared filesystems wasn't
ever exposed on Linux. The code to handle it is #if 0'ed in this patch
pending a decision on this feature. I'll send a writeup about it to the
list soon.

Bring the ail lock inside the struct xfs_ail. This means the AIL can be
entirely manipulated via the struct xfs_ail rather than needing both the

Rather than embedding the struct xfs_ail in the struct xfs_mount, allocate
it during AIL initialisation. Add a back pointer to the struct xfs_ail so
that we can pass around the xfs_ail and still be able to access the
xfs_mount if need be. This is th first step involved in isolating the AIL
implementation from the surrounding filesystem code.

Kill the unused arg in xfs_syncsub() and xfs_sync_inodes(). For callers of
xfs_syncsub() that only want to flush inodes, replace xfs_syncsub() with
direct calls to xfs_sync_inodes() as that is all that is being done with

Clean up the way the maximum and minimum records for the btree blocks are
calculated. For the alloc and inobt btrees all the values are
pre-calculated in xfs_mount_common, and we switch the current loop around
the ugly generic macros that use cpp token pasting to generate type names
to two small helpers in normal C code. For the bmbt and bmdr trees these
helpers also exist, but can be called during runtime, too. Here we also
kill various macros dealing with them and inline the logic into the
get_minrecs / get_maxrecs / get_dmaxrecs methods in xfs_bmap_btree.c.
Note that all these new helpers take an xfs_mount * argument which will be
needed to determine the size of a btree block once we add support for
extended btree blocks with CRCs and other RAS information.

Currently the xfs module init/exit code is a mess. It's farmed out over a
lot of function with very little error checking. This patch makes sure we
propagate all initialization failures properly and clean up after them.
Various runtime initializations are replaced with compile-time
initializations where possible to make this easier. The exit path is
similarly consolidated.
There's now split out function to create/destroy the kmem zones and
alloc/free the trace buffers. I've also changed the ktrace allocations to
KM_MAYFAIL and handled errors resulting from that.
And yes, we really should replace the XFS_*_TRACE ifdefs with a single
XFS_TRACE..

Adds two pieces of functionality for the basis of case-insensitive support
in XFS:
1. A comparison result enumerated type: xfs_dacmp. It represents an
exact match, case-insensitive match or no match at all. This patch
only implements different and exact results.
2. xfs_nameops vector for specifying how to perform the hash generation
of filenames and comparision methods. In this patch the hash vector
points to the existing xfs_da_hashname function and the comparison
method does a length compare, and if the same, does a memcmp and
return the xfs_dacmp result.
All filename functions that use the hash (create, lookup remove, rename,
etc) now use the xfs_nameops.hashname function and all directory lookup
functions also use the xfs_nameops.compname function.
The lookup functions also handle case-insensitive results even though the
default comparison function cannot return that. And important aspect of
the lookup functions is that an exact match always has precedence over a
case-insensitive. So while a case-insensitive match is found, we have to
keep looking just in case there is an exact match. In the meantime, the
info for the first case-insensitive match is retained if no exact match is
found.

Currently closing the rt/log block device is done in the wrong spot, and
far too early. So revampt it:
- xfs_blkdev_put moved out of xfs_free_buftarg into the caller so that
it is done after tearing down the buftarg completely.
- call to xfs_unmountfs_close moved from xfs_mountfs into caller so
that it's done after tearing down the filesystem completely.
- xfs_unmountfs_close is renamed to xfs_close_devices and made static
in xfs_super.c
- opening of the block devices is split into a helper xfs_open_devices
that is symetric in use to xfs_close_devices
- xfs_unmountfs can now lose struct cred
- error handling around device opening sanitized in xfs_fs_fill_super

features2 fields.
Previously, mounting with noattr2 failed to achieve anything because
although it cleared the attr2 mount flag, it would set it again as soon as
it processed the superblock fields. The fix now has an explicit noattr2
flag and uses it later to fix up the versionnum and features2 fields.

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.

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.

One of the perpetual scaling problems XFS has is indexing it's incore
inodes. We currently uses hashes and the default hash sizes chosen can
only ever be a tradeoff between memory consumption and the maximum
realistic size of the cache.
As a result, anyone who has millions of inodes cached on a filesystem
needs to tunes the size of the cache via the ihashsize mount option to
allow decent scalability with inode cache operations.
A further problem is the separate inode cluster hash, whose size is based
on the ihashsize but is smaller, and so under certain conditions (sparse
cluster cache population) this can become a limitation long before the
inode hash is causing issues.
The following patchset removes the inode hash and cluster hash and
replaces them with radix trees to avoid the scalability limitations of the
hashes. It also reduces the size of the inodes by 3 pointers....
