Separate the task security context from task_struct. At this point, the
security data is temporarily embedded in the task_struct with two pointers
pointing to it.
Note that the Alpha arch is altered as it refers to (E)UID and (E)GID in
entry.S via asm-offsets.

To make sure we free the security data inodes need to be freed using the
proper VFS helper (which we also need to export for this). We mark these
inodes bad so we can skip the flush path for them.

xfs_bulkstat only wants the dinode, offset and buffer from a given inode
number. Instead of using xfs_itobp on a fake inode which is complicated
and currently leads to leaks of the security data just use xfs_inotobp
which is designed to do exactly the kind of lookup xfs_bulkstat wants. The
only thing that's missing in xfs_inotobp is a flags paramter that let's us
pass down XFS_IMAP_BULKSTAT, but that can easily added.

To avoid issues with different lifecycles of XFS and Linux inodes, embedd
the linux inode inside the XFS inode. This means that the linux inode has
the same lifecycle as the XFS inode, even when it has been released by the
OS. XFS inodes don't live much longer than this (a short stint in reclaim
at most), so there isn't significant memory usage penalties here.
Version 3 o kill xfs_icount()
Version 2 o remove unused commented out code from xfs_iget(). o kill
useless cast in VFS_I()

structures.
Always use the generic xfs_btree_block type instead of the short / long
structures. Add XFS_BTREE_SBLOCK_LEN / XFS_BTREE_LBLOCK_LEN defines for
the length of a short / long form block. The rationale for this is that we
will grow more btree block header variants to support CRCs and other RAS
information, and always accessing them through the same datatype with
unions for the short / long form pointers makes implementing this much
easier.

xfs_iflush_all() walks the m_inodes list to find inodes that need
reclaiming. We already have such a list - the m_del_inodes list. Replace
xfs_iflush_all() with a call to xfs_finish_reclaim_all() and clean up
xfs_finish_reclaim_all() to handle the different flush modes now needed.
Originally based on a patch from Christoph Hellwig.
Version 3 o rediff against new linux-2.6/xfs_sync.c code
Version 2 o revert xfs_syncsub() inode reclaim behaviour back to original
code o xfs_quiesce_fs() should use XFS_IFLUSH_DELWRI_ELSE_ASYNC, not
XFS_IFLUSH_ASYNC, to prevent change of behaviour.

To avoid having to initialise some fields of the XFS inode on every
allocation, we can use the slab init-once feature to initialise them. All
we have to guarantee is that when we free the inode, all it's entries are
in the initial state. Add asserts where possible to ensure debug kernels
check this initial state before freeing and after allocation.

In xfs_ialloc we just want to set all timestamps to the current time. We
don't need to mark the inode dirty like xfs_ichgtime does, and we don't
need nor want the opimizations in xfs_ichgtime that I will introduce in
the next patch.
So just opencode the timestamp update in xfs_ialloc, and remove the new
unused XFS_ICHGTIME_ACC case in xfs_ichgtime.

When multiple inodes are locked in XFS it happens in order of the inode
number, with the everything but the first inode trylocked if any of the
previous inodes is in the AIL.
Except for the sorting of the inodes this logic is implemented in
xfs_lock_inodes, but also partially duplicated in xfs_lock_dir_and_entry
in a particularly stupid way adds a lock roundtrip if the inode ordering
is not optimal.
This patch adds a new helper xfs_lock_two_inodes that takes two inodes and
locks them in the most optimal way according to the above locking protocol
and uses it for all places that want to lock two inodes.
The only caller of xfs_lock_inodes is xfs_rename which might lock up to
four inodes.

In several places we directly convert from the XFS inode
to the linux (VFS) inode by a simple deference of ip->i_vnode.
We should not do this - a helper function should be used to
extract the VFS inode from the XFS inode.
Introduce the function VFS_I() to extract the VFS inode
from the XFS inode. The name was chosen to match XFS_I() which
is used to extract the XFS inode from the VFS inode.

->rename already gets the target inode passed if it exits. Pass it down to
xfs_rename so that we can avoid looking it up again. Also simplify locking
as the first lock section in xfs_rename can go away now: the isdir is an
invariant over the lifetime of the inode, and new_parent and the nlink
check are namespace topology protected by i_mutex in the VFS. The projid
check needs to move into the second lock section anyway to not be racy.
Also kill the now unused xfs_dir_lookup_int and remove the now-unused
first_locked argumet to xfs_lock_inodes.

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.

$ cat /sys/slab/xfs_inode/object_size 536

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.

Currently XFS_IFORK_* and XFS_DFORK* are implemented by means of
XFS_CFORK* macros. But given that XFS_IFORK_* operates on an xfs_inode
that embedds and xfs_icdinode_core and XFS_DFORK_* operates on an
xfs_dinode that embedds a xfs_dinode_core one will have to do endian
swapping while the other doesn't. Instead of having the current mess with
the CFORK macros that have byteswapping and non-byteswapping version
(which are inconsistantly named while we're at it) just define each family
of the macros to stand by itself and simplify the whole matter.
A few direct references to the CFORK variants were cleaned up to use IFORK
or DFORK to make this possible.

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.

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....

Biggest bit is duplicating the dinode structure so we have one annotated for
native endianess and one for disk endianess. The other significant change
is that xfs_xlate_dinode_core is split into one helper per direction to
allow for proper annotations, everything else is trivial.
As a sidenode splitting out the incore dinode means we can move it into
xfs_inode.h in a later patch and severely improving on the include hell in
xfs.

currently xfs_bmbt_rec_t is used both for ondisk extents as well as
host-endian ones. This patch adds a new xfs_bmbt_rec_host_t for the native
endian ones and cleans up the fallout. There have been various endianess
issues in the tracing / debug printf code that are fixed by this patch.

In media spaces, video is often stored in a frame-per-file format. When
dealing with uncompressed realtime HD video streams in this format, it is
crucial that files do not get fragmented and that multiple files a placed
contiguously on disk.
When multiple streams are being ingested and played out at the same time,
it is critical that the filesystem does not cross the streams and
interleave them together as this creates seek and readahead cache miss
latency and prevents both ingest and playout from meeting frame rate
targets.
This patch set creates a "stream of files" concept into the allocator to
place all the data from a single stream contiguously on disk so that RAID
array readahead can be used effectively. Each additional stream gets
placed in different allocation groups within the filesystem, thereby
ensuring that we don't cross any streams. When an AG fills up, we select a
new AG for the stream that is not in use.
The core of the functionality is the stream tracking - each inode that we
create in a directory needs to be associated with the directories' stream.
Hence every time we create a file, we look up the directories' stream
object and associate the new file with that object.
Once we have a stream object for a file, we use the AG that the stream
object point to for allocations. If we can't allocate in that AG (e.g. it
is full) we move the entire stream to another AG. Other inodes in the same
stream are moved to the new AG on their next allocation (i.e. lazy
update).
Stream objects are kept in a cache and hold a reference on the inode.
Hence the inode cannot be reclaimed while there is an outstanding stream
reference. This means that on unlink we need to remove the stream
association and we also need to flush all the associations on certain
events that want to reclaim all unreferenced inodes (e.g. filesystem
freeze).

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.

This patch handles error return values in fs_flush_pages and
fs_flushinval_pages. It changes the prototype of fs_flushinval_pages so we
can propogate the errors and handle them at higher layers. I also modified
xfs_itruncate_start so that it could propogate the error further.
