      [XFS] Prevent lockdep false positives when locking two inodes. · f9114eba
      David Chinner authored 
      If we call xfs_lock_two_inodes() to grab both the iolock and the ilock,
then drop the ilocks on both inodes, then grab them again (as
xfs_swap_extents() does) then lockdep will report a locking order problem.
This is a false positive.

To avoid this, disallow xfs_lock_two_inodes() fom locking both inode locks
at once - force calers to make two separate calls. This means that nested
dropping and regaining of the ilocks will retain the same lockdep subclass
and so lockdep will not see anything wrong with this code.

      [XFS] Fix barrier status change detection. · b5b8c9ac
      David Chinner authored 
      The current code in xlog_iodone() uses the wrong macro to check if the
barrier has been cleared due to an EOPNOTSUPP error form the lower layer.

      [XFS] Prevent direct I/O from mapping extents beyond eof · 364f358a
      Lachlan McIlroy authored 
      With the help from some tracing I found that we try to map extents beyond
eof when doing a direct I/O read. It appears that the way to inform the
generic direct I/O path (ie do_direct_IO()) that we have breached eof is
to return an unmapped buffer from xfs_get_blocks_direct(). This will cause
do_direct_IO() to jump to the hole handling code where is will check for
eof and then abort.

This problem was found because a direct I/O read was trying to map beyond
eof and was encountering delayed allocations. The delayed allocations
beyond eof are speculative allocations and they didn't get converted when
the direct I/O flushed the file because there was only enough space in the
current AG to convert and write out the dirty pages within eof. Note that
xfs_iomap_write_allocate() wont necessarily convert all the delayed
allocation passed to it - it will return after allocating the first extent
- so if the delayed allocation extends beyond eof then it will stay that
way.

      [XFS] Fix regression introduced by remount fixup · 6efdf281
      Christoph Hellwig authored 
      Logically we would return an error in xfs_fs_remount code to prevent users
from believing they might have changed mount options using remount which
can't be changed.

But unfortunately mount(8) adds all options from mtab and fstab to the
mount arguments in some cases so we can't blindly reject options, but have
to check for each specified option if it actually differs from the
currently set option and only reject it if that's the case.

Until that is implemented we return success for every remount request, and
silently ignore all options that we can't actually change.

      [XFS] Move memory allocations for log tracing out of the critical path · 31bd61f2
      Lachlan McIlroy authored 
      Memory allocations for log->l_grant_trace and iclog->ic_trace are done on
demand when the first event is logged. In xlog_state_get_iclog_space() we
call xlog_trace_iclog() under a spinlock and allocating memory here can
cause us to sleep with a spinlock held and deadlock the system.

For the log grant tracing we use KM_NOSLEEP but that means we can lose
trace entries. Since there is no locking to serialize the log grant
tracing we could race and have multiple allocations and leak memory.

So move the allocations to where we initialize the log/iclog structures.
Use KM_NOFS to avoid recursing into the filesystem and drop log->l_trace
since it's not even used.
