Calling xfs_rmap_free with an unknown owner is supposed to remove any
rmaps covering that range regardless of owner. This is used by the EFI
recovery code to say "we're freeing this, it mustn't be owned by
anything anymore", but for whatever reason xfs_free_ag_extent filters
them out.
Therefore, remove the filter and make xfs_rmap_unmap actually treat it
as a wildcard owner -- free anything that's already there, and if
there's no owner at all then that's fine too.
There are two existing callers of bmap_add_free that take care the rmap
deferred ops themselves and use OWN_UNKNOWN to skip the EFI-based rmap
cleanup; convert these to use OWN_NULL (via helpers), and now we really
require that an RUI (if any) gets added to the defer ops before any EFI.
Lastly, now that xfs_free_extent filters out OWN_NULL rmap free requests,
growfs will have to consult directly with the rmap to ensure that there
aren't any rmaps in the grown region.

When adding a new remote attribute, we write the attribute to the
new extent before the allocation transaction is committed. This
means we cannot reuse busy extents as that violates crash
consistency semantics. Hence we currently treat remote attribute
extent allocation like userdata because it has the same overwrite
ordering constraints as userdata.
Unfortunately, this also allows the allocator to incorrectly apply
extent size hints to the remote attribute extent allocation. This
results in interesting failures, such as transaction block
reservation overruns and in-memory inode attribute fork corruption.
To fix this, we need to separate the busy extent reuse configuration
from the userdata configuration. This changes the definition of
XFS_BMAPI_METADATA slightly - it now means that allocation is
metadata and reuse of busy extents is acceptible due to the metadata
ordering semantics of the journal. If this flag is not set, it
means the allocation is that has unordered data writeback, and hence
busy extent reuse is not allowed. It no longer implies the
allocation is for user data, just that the data write will not be
strictly ordered. This matches the semantics for both user data
and remote attribute block allocation.
As such, This patch changes the "userdata" field to a "datatype"
field, and adds a "no busy reuse" flag to the field.
When we detect an unordered data extent allocation, we immediately set
the no reuse flag. We then set the "user data" flags based on the
inode fork we are allocating the extent to. Hence we only set
userdata flags on data fork allocations now and consider attribute
fork remote extents to be an unordered metadata extent.
The result is that remote attribute extents now have the expected
allocation semantics, and the data fork allocation behaviour is
completely unchanged.
It should be noted that there may be other ways to fix this (e.g.
use ordered metadata buffers for the remote attribute extent data
write) but they are more invasive and difficult to validate both
from a design and implementation POV. Hence this patch takes the
simple, obvious route to fixing the problem...

One unfortunate quirk of the reference count and reverse mapping
btrees -- they can expand in size when blocks are written to *other*
allocation groups if, say, one large extent becomes a lot of tiny
extents. Since we don't want to start throwing errors in the middle
of CoWing, we need to reserve some blocks to handle future expansion.
The transaction block reservation counters aren't sufficient here
because we have to have a reserve of blocks in every AG, not just
somewhere in the filesystem.
Therefore, create two per-AG block reservation pools. One feeds the
AGFL so that rmapbt expansion always succeeds, and the other feeds all
other metadata so that refcountbt expansion never fails.
Use the count of how many reserved blocks we need to have on hand to
create a virtual reservation in the AG. Through selective clamping of
the maximum length of allocation requests and of the length of the
longest free extent, we can make it look like there's less free space
in the AG unless the reservation owner is asking for blocks.
In other words, play some accounting tricks in-core to make sure that
we always have blocks available. On the plus side, there's nothing to
clean up if we crash, which is contrast to the strategy that the rough
draft used (actually removing extents from the freespace btrees).

For the rmap btree to work, we have to feed the extent owner
information to the the allocation and freeing functions. This
information is what will end up in the rmap btree that tracks
allocated extents. While we technically don't need the owner
information when freeing extents, passing it allows us to validate
that the extent we are removing from the rmap btree actually
belonged to the owner we expected it to belong to.
We also define a special set of owner values for internal metadata
that would otherwise have no owner. This allows us to tell the
difference between metadata owned by different per-ag btrees, as
well as static fs metadata (e.g. AG headers) and internal journal
blocks.
There are also a couple of special cases we need to take care of -
during EFI recovery, we don't actually know who the original owner
was, so we need to pass a wildcard to indicate that we aren't
checking the owner for validity. We also need special handling in
growfs, as we "free" the space in the last AG when extending it, but
because it's new space it has no actual owner...
While touching the xfs_bmap_add_free() function, re-order the
parameters to put the struct xfs_mount first.
Extend the owner field to include both the owner type and some sort
of index within the owner. The index field will be used to support
reverse mappings when reflink is enabled.
When we're freeing extents from an EFI, we don't have the owner
information available (rmap updates have their own redo items).
xfs_free_extent therefore doesn't need to do an rmap update. Make
sure that the log replay code signals this correctly.
This is based upon a patch originally from Dave Chinner. It has been
extended to add more owner information with the intent of helping
recovery operations when things go wrong (e.g. offset of user data
block in a file).

To enable DAX to do atomic allocation of zeroed extents, we need to
drive the block zeroing deep into the allocator. Because
xfs_bmapi_write() can return merged extents on allocation that were
only partially allocated (i.e. requested range spans allocated and
hole regions, allocation into the hole was contiguous), we cannot
zero the extent returned from xfs_bmapi_write() as that can
overwrite existing data with zeros.
Hence we have to drive the extent zeroing into the allocation code,
prior to where we merge the extents into the BMBT and return the
resultant map. This means we need to propagate this need down to
the xfs_alloc_vextent() and issue the block zeroing at this point.
While this functionality is being introduced for DAX, there is no
reason why it is specific to DAX - we can per-zero blocks during the
allocation transaction on any type of device. It's just slow (and
usually slower than unwritten allocation and conversion) on
traditional block devices so doesn't tend to get used. We can,
however, hook hardware zeroing optimisations via sb_issue_zeroout()
to this operation, so it may be useful in future and hence the
"allocate zeroed blocks" API needs to be implementation neutral.

Since the onset of v5 superblocks, the LSN of the last modification has
been included in a variety of on-disk data structures. This LSN is used
to provide log recovery ordering guarantees (e.g., to ensure an older
log recovery item is not replayed over a newer target data structure).
While this works correctly from the point a filesystem is formatted and
mounted, userspace tools have some problematic behaviors that defeat
this mechanism. For example, xfs_repair historically zeroes out the log
unconditionally (regardless of whether corruption is detected). If this
occurs, the LSN of the filesystem is reset and the log is now in a
problematic state with respect to on-disk metadata structures that might
have a larger LSN. Until either the log catches up to the highest
previously used metadata LSN or each affected data structure is modified
and written out without incident (which resets the metadata LSN), log
recovery is susceptible to filesystem corruption.
This problem is ultimately addressed and repaired in the associated
userspace tools. The kernel is still responsible to detect the problem
and notify the user that something is wrong. Check the superblock LSN at
mount time and fail the mount if it is invalid. From that point on,
trigger verifier failure on any metadata I/O where an invalid LSN is
detected. This results in a filesystem shutdown and guarantees that we
do not log metadata changes with invalid LSNs on disk. Since this is a
known issue with a known recovery path, present a warning to instruct
the user how to recover.
