The AGFL perag reservation type accounts all allocations that feed
into (or are released from) the allocation group free list (agfl).
The purpose of the reservation is to support worst case conditions
for the reverse mapping btree (rmapbt). As such, the agfl
reservation usage accounting only considers rmapbt usage when the
in-core counters are initialized at mount time.
This implementation inconsistency leads to divergence of the in-core
and on-disk usage accounting over time. In preparation to resolve
this inconsistency and adjust the AGFL reservation into an rmapbt
specific reservation, rename the AGFL reservation type and
associated accounting fields to something more rmapbt-specific. Also
fix up a couple tracepoints that incorrectly use the AGFL
reservation type to pass the agfl state of the associated extent
where the raw reservation type is expected.
Note that this patch does not change perag reservation behavior.

Christoph Hellwig pointed out that there's a potentially nasty race when
performing simultaneous nearby directio cow writes:
"Thread 1 writes a range from B to c
" B --------- C
p
"a little later thread 2 writes from A to B
" A --------- B
p
[editor's note: the 'p' denote cowextsize boundaries, which I added to
make this more clear]
"but the code preallocates beyond B into the range where thread
"1 has just written, but ->end_io hasn't been called yet.
"But once ->end_io is called thread 2 has already allocated
"up to the extent size hint into the write range of thread 1,
"so the end_io handler will splice the unintialized blocks from
"that preallocation back into the file right after B."
We can avoid this race by ensuring that thread 1 cannot accidentally
remap the blocks that thread 2 allocated (as part of speculative
preallocation) as part of t2's write preparation in t1's end_io handler.
The way we make this happen is by taking advantage of the unwritten
extent flag as an intermediate step.
Recall that when we begin the process of writing data to shared blocks,
we create a delayed allocation extent in the CoW fork:
D: --RRRRRRSSSRRRRRRRR---
C: ------DDDDDDD---------
When a thread prepares to CoW some dirty data out to disk, it will now
convert the delalloc reservation into an /unwritten/ allocated extent in
the cow fork. The da conversion code tries to opportunistically
allocate as much of a (speculatively prealloc'd) extent as possible, so
we may end up allocating a larger extent than we're actually writing
out:
D: --RRRRRRSSSRRRRRRRR---
U: ------UUUUUUU---------
Next, we convert only the part of the extent that we're actively
planning to write to normal (i.e. not unwritten) status:
D: --RRRRRRSSSRRRRRRRR---
U: ------UURRUUU---------
If the write succeeds, the end_cow function will now scan the relevant
range of the CoW fork for real extents and remap only the real extents
into the data fork:
D: --RRRRRRRRSRRRRRRRR---
U: ------UU--UUU---------
This ensures that we never obliterate valid data fork extents with
unwritten blocks from the CoW fork.

COW fork reservation is implemented via delayed allocation. The code is
modeled after the traditional delalloc allocation code, but is slightly
different in terms of how preallocation occurs. Rather than post-eof
speculative preallocation, COW fork preallocation is implemented via a
COW extent size hint that is designed to minimize fragmentation as a
reflinked file is split over time.
xfs_reflink_reserve_cow() still uses logic that is oriented towards
dealing with post-eof speculative preallocation, however, and is stale
or not necessarily correct. First, the EOF alignment to the COW extent
size hint is implemented in xfs_bmapi_reserve_delalloc() (which does so
correctly by aligning the start and end offsets) and so is not necessary
in xfs_reflink_reserve_cow(). The backoff and retry logic on ENOSPC is
also ineffective for the same reason, as xfs_bmapi_reserve_delalloc()
will simply perform the same allocation request on the retry. Finally,
since the COW extent size hint aligns the start and end offset of the
range to allocate, the end_fsb != orig_end_fsb logic is not sufficient.
Indeed, if a write request happens to end on an aligned offset, it is
possible that we do not tag the inode for COW preallocation even though
xfs_bmapi_reserve_delalloc() may have preallocated at the start offset.
Kill the unnecessary, duplicate code in xfs_reflink_reserve_cow().
Remove the inode tag logic as well since xfs_bmapi_reserve_delalloc()
has been updated to tag the inode correctly.

Speculative preallocation is currently processed entirely by the callers
of xfs_bmapi_reserve_delalloc(). The caller determines how much
preallocation to include, adjusts the extent length and passes down the
resulting request.
While this works fine for post-eof speculative preallocation, it is not
as reliable for COW fork preallocation. COW fork preallocation is
implemented via the cowextszhint, which aligns the start offset as well
as the length of the extent. Further, it is difficult for the caller to
accurately identify when preallocation occurs because the returned
extent could have been merged with neighboring extents in the fork.
To simplify this situation and facilitate further COW fork preallocation
enhancements, update xfs_bmapi_reserve_delalloc() to take a separate
preallocation parameter to incorporate into the allocation request. The
preallocation blocks value is tacked onto the end of the request and
adjusted to accommodate neighboring extents and extent size limits.
Since xfs_bmapi_reserve_delalloc() now knows precisely how much
preallocation was included in the allocation, it can also tag the inodes
appropriately to support preallocation reclaim.
Note that xfs_bmapi_reserve_delalloc() callers are not yet updated to
use the preallocation mechanism. This patch should not change behavior
outside of correctly tagging reflink inodes when start offset
preallocation occurs (which the caller does not handle correctly).

The cowblocks background scanner currently clears the cowblocks tag
for inodes without any real allocations in the cow fork. This
excludes inodes with only delalloc blocks in the cow fork. While we
might never expect to clear delalloc blocks from the cow fork in the
background scanner, it is not necessarily correct to clear the
cowblocks tag from such inodes.
For example, if the background scanner happens to process an inode
between a buffered write and writeback, the scanner catches the
inode in a state after delalloc blocks have been allocated to the
cow fork but before the delalloc blocks have been converted to real
blocks by writeback. The background scanner then incorrectly clears
the cowblocks tag, even if part of the aforementioned delalloc
reservation will not be remapped to the data fork (i.e., extra
blocks due to the cowextsize hint). This means that any such
additional blocks in the cow fork might never be reclaimed by the
background scanner and could persist until the inode itself is
reclaimed.
To address this problem, only skip and clear inodes without any cow
fork allocations whatsoever from the background scanner. While we
generally do not want to cancel delalloc reservations from the
background scanner, the pagecache dirty check following the
cowblocks check should prevent that situation. If we do end up with
delalloc cow fork blocks without a dirty address space mapping, this
is probably an indication that something has gone wrong and the
blocks should be reclaimed, as they may never be converted to a real
allocation.
