Recognize BTRFS_BALANCE_RESUME flag passed from userspace. We use the
same heuristics used when recovering balance after a crash to try to
start where we left off last time.

Implement an ioctl for canceling restriper. Currently we wait until
relocation of the current block group is finished, in future this can be
done by triggering a commit. Balance item is deleted and no memory
about the interrupted balance is kept.

Implement an ioctl for pausing restriper. This pauses the relocation,
but balance is still considered to be "in progress": balance item is
not deleted, other volume operations cannot be started, etc. If paused
in the middle of profile changing operation we will continue making
allocations with the target profile.
Add a hook to close_ctree() to pause restriper and free its data
structures on unmount. (It's safe to unmount when restriper is in
"paused" state, we will resume with the same parameters on the next
mount)

Since restriper kthread starts involuntarily on mount and can suck cpu
and memory bandwidth add a mount option to forcefully skip it. The
restriper in that case hangs around in paused state and can be resumed
from userspace when it's convenient.

On mount, if balance item is found, resume balance in a separate
kernel thread.
Try to be smart to continue roughly where previous balance (or convert)
was interrupted. For chunk types that were being converted to some
profile we turn on soft convert, in case of a simple balance we turn on
usage filter and relocate only less-than-90%-full chunks of that type.
These are just heuristics but they help quite a bit, and can be improved
in future.

Introduce a new btree objectid for storing balance item. The reason is
to be able to resume restriper after a crash with the same parameters.
Balance item has a very high objectid and goes into tree of tree roots.
The key for the new item is as follows:
[ BTRFS_BALANCE_OBJECTID ; BTRFS_BALANCE_ITEM_KEY ; 0 ]
Older kernels simply ignore it so it's safe to mount with an older
kernel and then go back to the newer one.

When doing convert from one profile to another if soft mode is on
restriper won't touch chunks that already have the profile we are
converting to. This is useful if e.g. half of the FS was converted
earlier.
The soft mode switch is (like every other filter) per-type. This means
that we can convert for example meta chunks the "hard" way while
converting data chunks selectively with soft switch.

Profile changing is done by launching a balance with
BTRFS_BALANCE_CONVERT bits set and target fields of respective
btrfs_balance_args structs initialized. Profile reducing code in this
case will pick restriper's target profile if it's available instead of
doing a blind reduce. If target profile is not yet available it goes
back to a plain reduce.

This allows to have a separate set of filters for each chunk type
(data,meta,sys). The code however is generic and switch on chunk type
is only done once.
This commit also adds a type filter: it allows to balance for example
meta and system chunks w/o touching data ones.

Add basic restriper infrastructure: extended balancing ioctl and all

Currently when new chunks are created respective avail_alloc_bits field
is updated to reflect profiles of all chunks present in the system.
However when chunks are removed profile bits are never cleared.
This patch clears profile bit of respective avail_alloc_bits field when
the last chunk with that profile is removed. Restriper needs this to
properly operate when "downgrading".

Right now on-disk BTRFS_BLOCK_GROUP_* profile bits are used for
avail_{data,metadata,system}_alloc_bits fields, which gather info about
available allocation profiles in the FS. When chunk is created or read
from disk, its profile is OR'ed with the corresponding avail_alloc_bits
field. Since SINGLE is denoted by 0 in the on-disk format, currently
there is no way to tell when such chunks become avaialble. Restriper
needs that information, so add a separate bit for SINGLE profile.
This bit is going to be in-memory only, it should never be written out
to disk, so it's not a disk format change. However to avoid remappings
in future, reserve corresponding on-disk bit.

Removing the parent of a watched file results in "kernel BUG at
fs/notify/mark.c:139".
To reproduce
add "-w /tmp/audit/dir/watched_file" to audit.rules
rm -rf /tmp/audit/dir
This is caused by fsnotify_destroy_mark() being called without an
extra reference taken by the caller.

Since commit 080d676de095 ("aio: allocate kiocbs in batches") iocbs are
allocated in a batch during processing of first iocbs. All iocbs in a
batch are automatically added to ctx->active_reqs list and accounted in
ctx->reqs_active.
If one (not the last one) of iocbs submitted by an user fails, further
iocbs are not processed, but they are still present in ctx->active_reqs
and accounted in ctx->reqs_active. This causes process to stuck in a D
state in wait_for_all_aios() on exit since ctx->reqs_active will never
go down to zero. Furthermore since kiocb_batch_free() frees iocb
without removing it from active_reqs list the list become corrupted
which may cause oops.
Fix this by removing iocb from ctx->active_reqs and updating
ctx->reqs_active in kiocb_batch_free().

This wrapper isn't overly useful, not to say rather confusing.
Around the call to xfs_itruncate_extents it does:
- add tracing
- add a few asserts in debug builds
- conditionally update the inode size in two places
- log the inode
Both the tracing and the inode logging can be moved to xfs_itruncate_extents
as they are useful for the attribute fork as well - in fact the attr code
already does an equivalent xfs_trans_log_inode call just after calling
xfs_itruncate_extents. The conditional size updates are a mess, and there
was no reason to do them in two places anyway, as the first one was
conditional on the inode having extents - but without extents we
xfs_itruncate_extents would be a no-op and the placement wouldn't matter
anyway. Instead move the size assignments and the asserts that make sense
to the callers that want it.
As a side effect of this clean up xfs_setattr_size by introducing variables
for the old and new inode size, and moving the size updates into a common
place.

Before commit 56e46742e846e4de167dde0e1e1071ace1c882a5 we have had locking
around all printing macros and we could use static buffers for creating
key strings and printing them. However, now we do not have that locking and
we cannot use static buffers. This commit removes the old DBGKEY() macros
and introduces few new helper macros for printing debugging messages plus
a key at the end. Thankfully, all the messages are already structures in
a way that the key is printed in the end.

Andrew explains:
- various misc stuff
- Most of the rest of MM: memcg, threaded hugepages, others.
- cpumask
- kexec
- kdump
- some direct-io performance tweaking
- radix-tree optimisations
- new selftests code
A note on this: often people will develop a new userspace-visible
feature and will develop userspace code to exercise/test that
feature. Then they merge the patch and the selftest code dies.
Sometimes we paste it into the changelog. Sometimes the code gets
thrown into Documentation/(!).
This saddens me. So this patch creates a bare-bones framework which
will henceforth allow me to ask people to include their test apps in
the kernel tree so we can keep them alive. Then when people enhance
or fix the feature, I can ask them to update the test app too.
The infrastruture is terribly trivial at present - let's see how it
evolves.
- checkpoint/restart feature work.
A note on this: this is a project by various mad Russians to perform
c/r mainly from userspace, with various oddball helper code added
into the kernel where the need is demonstrated.
So rather than some large central lump of code, what we have is
little bits and pieces popping up in various places which either
expose something new or which permit something which is normally
kernel-private to be modified.
The overall project is an ongoing thing. I've judged that the size
and scope of the thing means that we're more likely to be successful
with it if we integrate the support into mainline piecemeal rather
than allowing it all to develop out-of-tree.
However I'm less confident than the developers that it will all
eventually work! So what I'm asking them to do is to wrap each piece
of new code inside CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE. So if it all
eventually comes to tears and the project as a whole fails, it should
be a simple matter to go through and delete all trace of it.
This lot pretty much wraps up the -rc1 merge for me.

The mm->start_code/end_code, mm->start_data/end_data, mm->start_brk are
involved into calculation of program text/data segment sizes (which might
be seen in /proc/<pid>/statm) and into brk() call final address.
For restore we need to know all these values. While
mm->start_code/end_code already present in /proc/$pid/stat, the rest
members are not, so this patch brings them in.
The restore procedure of these members is addressed in another patch using
prctl().

Some investigation of a transaction processing workload showed that a
major consumer of cycles in __blockdev_direct_IO is the cache miss while
accessing the block size. This is because it has to walk the chain from
block_dev to gendisk to queue.
The block size is needed early on to check alignment and sizes. It's only
done if the check for the inode block size fails. But the costly block
device state is unconditionally fetched.
- Reorganize the code to only fetch block dev state when actually
needed.
Then do a prefetch on the block dev early on in the direct IO path. This
is worth it, because there is substantial code run before we actually
touch the block dev now.
- I also added some unlikelies to make it clear the compiler that block
device fetch code is not normally executed.
This gave a small, but measurable improvement on a large database
benchmark (about 0.3%)

This makes it possible to get from the inode to the request_queue with one
less cache miss. Used in followon optimization.
The livetime of the pointer is the same as the gendisk.
This assumes that the queue will always stay the same in the gendisk while
it's visible to block_devices. I think that's safe correct?

In get_more_blocks(), we use dio_count to calcuate fs_count and do some
tricky things to increase fs_count if dio_count isn't aligned. But
actually it still has some corner cases that can't be coverd. See the
following example:
dio_write foo -s 1024 -w 4096
(direct write 4096 bytes at offset 1024). The same goes if the offset
isn't aligned to fs_blocksize.
In this case, the old calculation counts fs_count to be 1, but actually we
will write into 2 different blocks (if fs_blocksize=4096). The old code
just works, since it will call get_block twice (and may have to allocate
and create extents twice for filesystems like ext4). So we'd better call
get_block just once with the proper fs_count.

This patch adds a lightweight sync migrate operation MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT
mode that avoids writing back pages to backing storage. Async compaction
maps to MIGRATE_ASYNC while sync compaction maps to MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT.
For other migrate_pages users such as memory hotplug, MIGRATE_SYNC is
used.
This avoids sync compaction stalling for an excessive length of time,
particularly when copying files to a USB stick where there might be a
large number of dirty pages backed by a filesystem that does not support
->writepages.

within ->migratepage
Asynchronous compaction is used when allocating transparent hugepages to
avoid blocking for long periods of time. Due to reports of stalling,
there was a debate on disabling synchronous compaction but this severely
impacted allocation success rates. Part of the reason was that many dirty
pages are skipped in asynchronous compaction by the following check;
if (PageDirty(page) && !sync &&
mapping->a_ops->migratepage != migrate_page)
rc = -EBUSY;
This skips over all mapping aops using buffer_migrate_page() even though
it is possible to migrate some of these pages without blocking. This
patch updates the ->migratepage callback with a "sync" parameter. It is
the responsibility of the callback to fail gracefully if migration would
block.
