c69439a891 xfs: fix a buffer lookup against removal race
When a buffer is freed either by LRU eviction or because it is unset,
the lockref is marked as dead instantly, which prevents the buffer from
being used after finding it in the buffer hash in xfs_buf_lookup and
xfs_buf_find_insert.  But the latter will then not add the new buffer to
the hash because it already found an existing buffer.

Fix this using in two places:  Remove the buffer from the hash before
marking the lockref dead so that that no buffer with a dead lockref can
be found in the hash, but if we find one in xfs_buf_find_insert due to
store reordering, handle this case correctly instead of returning an
unhashed buffer.

8166876aad xfs: don't decrement the buffer LRU count for in-use buffers
XFS buffers are added to the LRU when they are unused, but are only
removed from the LRU lazily when the LRU list scan finds a used buffer.
So far this only happen when the LRU counter hits 0, which is suboptimal
as buffers that were added to the LRU, but are in use again still consume
LRU scanning resources and are aged while actually in use.

Fix this by checking for in-use buffers and removing the from the LRU
before decrementing the LRU counter.

497560b9ef xfs: switch (back) to a per-buftarg buffer hash
The per-AG buffer hashes were added when all buffer lookups took a
per-hash look.  Since then we've made lookups entirely lockless and
removed the need for a hash-wide lock for inserts and removals as
well.  With this there is no need to sharding the hash, so reduce the
used resources by using a per-buftarg hash for all buftargs.

Long after writing this initially, syzbot found a problem in the buffer
cache teardown order, which this happens to fix as well by doing the
entire buffer cache teardown in one places instead of splitting it
between destroying the buftarg and the perag structures.

d02ee47bbe xfs: use a lockref for the buffer reference count
The lockref structure allows incrementing/decrementing counters like
an atomic_t for the fast path, while still allowing complex slow path
operations as if the counter was protected by a lock.  The only slow
path operations that actually need to take the lock are the final
put, LRU evictions and marking a buffer stale.

67fe430397 xfs: don't keep a reference for buffers on the LRU
Currently the buffer cache adds a reference to b_hold for buffers that
are on the LRU.  This seems to go all the way back and allows releasing
buffers from the LRU using xfs_buf_rele.  But it makes xfs_buf_rele
really complicated in differs from how other LRUs are implemented in
Linux.

Switch to not having a reference for buffers in the LRU, and use a
separate negative hold value to mark buffers as dead.  This simplifies
xfs_buf_rele, which now just deal with the last "real" reference,
and prepares for using the lockref primitive.

This also removes the b_lock protection for removing buffers from the
buffer hash.  This is the desired outcome because the rhashtable is
fully internally synchronized, and previously the lock was mostly
held out of ordering constrains in xfs_buf_rele_cached.

69050f8d6d treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types
This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

bd721ec7de xfs: don't set bt_nr_sectors to a negative number
xfs_daddr_t is a signed type, which means that xfs_buf_map_verify is
using a signed comparison.  This causes problems if bt_nr_sectors is
never overridden (e.g. in the case of an xfbtree for rmap btree repairs)
because even daddr 0 can't pass the verifier test in that case.

Define an explicit max constant and set the initial bt_nr_sectors to a
positive value.

The CIL push has seen the deadlock, so it has aborted the push and
is running CIL checkpoint completion to abort all the items in the
checkpoint. This calls ->iop_unpin(remove = true) to clean up the
log items in the checkpoint.

When a buffer log item is unpined like this, it needs to lock the
buffer to run io completion to correctly fail the buffer and run all
the required completions to fail attached log items as well. In this
case, the attempt to lock the buffer on unpin is hanging because the
buffer is already locked.

I suspected a leaked XFS_BLI_HOLD state because of XFS_BLI_STALE
handling changes I was testing, so I went looking for
pin events on HOLD buffers and unpin events on locked buffer. That
isolated this one buffer with these two events:

xfs_buf_item_pin:     dev 251:6 daddr 0xa910 bbcount 0x2 hold 2 pincount 0 lock 0 flags DONE|KMEM recur 0 refcount 1 bliflags HOLD|DIRTY|LOGGED liflags DIRTY
....
xfs_buf_item_unpin:   dev 251:6 daddr 0xa910 bbcount 0x2 hold 4 pincount 1 lock 0 flags DONE|KMEM recur 0 refcount 1 bliflags DIRTY liflags ABORTED

Firstly, bbcount = 0x2, which means it is not a single sector
structure. That rules out every xfs_trans_bhold() case except one:
dquot buffers.

Then hung task dumping gave this trace:

Yup, another test run by check-parallel is running drop_caches
concurrently and the dquot shrinker for the hung filesystem is
running. That's trying to flush a dirty dquot from reclaim context,
and it waiting on a log force to complete. xfs_qm_dqflush is called
with the dquot buffer held locked, and so we've called
xfs_log_force() with that buffer locked.

Now the log force is waiting for a workqueue flush to complete, and
that workqueue flush is waiting of CIL checkpoint processing to
finish.

The CIL checkpoint processing is aborting all the log items it has,
and that requires locking aborted buffers to cancel them.

Now, normally this isn't a problem if we are issuing a log force
to unpin an object, because the ->iop_unpin() method wakes pin
waiters first. That results in the pin waiter finishing off whatever
it was doing, dropping the lock and then xfs_buf_item_unpin() can
lock the buffer and fail it.

However, xfs_qm_dqflush() is waiting on the -dquot- unpin event, not
the dquot buffer unpin event, and so it never gets woken and so does
not drop the buffer lock.

Inodes do not have this problem, as they can only be written from
one spot (->iop_push) whilst dquots can be written from multiple
places (memory reclaim, ->iop_push, xfs_dq_dqpurge, and quotacheck).

The reason that the dquot buffer has an attached buffer log item is
that it has been recently allocated. Initialisation of the dquot
buffer logs the buffer directly, thereby pinning it in memory. We
then modify the dquot in a separate operation, and have memory
reclaim racing with a shutdown and we trigger this deadlock.

check-parallel reproduces this reliably on 1kB FSB filesystems with
quota enabled because it does all of these things concurrently
without having to explicitly write tests to exercise these corner
case conditions.

xfs_qm_dquot_logitem_push() doesn't have this deadlock because it
checks if the dquot is pinned before locking the dquot buffer and
skipping it if it is pinned. This means the xfs_qm_dqunpin_wait()
log force in xfs_qm_dqflush() never triggers and we unlock the
buffer safely allowing a concurrent shutdown to fail the buffer
appropriately.

xfs_qm_dqpurge() could have this problem as it is called from
quotacheck and we might have allocated dquot buffers when recording
the quota updates. This can be fixed by calling
xfs_qm_dqunpin_wait() before we lock the dquot buffer. Because we
hold the dquot locked, nothing will be able to add to the pin count
between the unpin_wait and the dqflush callout, so this now makes
xfs_qm_dqpurge() safe against this race.

xfs_qm_dquot_isolate() can also be fixed this same way but, quite
frankly, we shouldn't be doing IO in memory reclaim context. If the
dquot is pinned or dirty, simply rotate it and let memory reclaim
come back to it later, same as we do for inodes.

This then gets rid of the nasty issue in xfs_qm_flush_one() where
quotacheck writeback races with memory reclaim flushing the dquots.
We can lift xfs_qm_dqunpin_wait() up into this code, then get rid of
the "can't get the dqflush lock" buffer write to cycle the dqlfush
lock and enable it to be flushed again.  checking if the dquot is
pinned and returning -EAGAIN so that the dquot walk will revisit the
dquot again later.

Finally, with xfs_qm_dqunpin_wait() lifted into all the callers,
we can remove it from the xfs_qm_dqflush() code.

85bf2dfa3f xfs: ignore HW which cannot atomic write a single block
Currently only HW which can write at least 1x block is supported.

For supporting atomic writes > 1x block, a CoW-based method will also be
used and this will not be resticted to using HW which can write >= 1x
block.

However for deciding if HW-based atomic writes can be used, we need to
start adding checks for write length < HW min, which complicates the
code.  Indeed, a statx field similar to unit_max_opt should also be
added for this minimum, which is undesirable.

HW which can only write > 1x blocks would be uncommon and quite weird,
so let's just not support it.

However, we still want to flush and invalidate the pagecache for all
three block devices before we start reading metadata from those devices,
so call sync_blockdev() per bdev in xfs_alloc_buftarg().

This will enable a subsequent patch to validate hw atomic write geometry
against the filesystem geometry.

94c78cfa3b xfs: convert buffer cache to use high order folios
Now that we have the buffer cache using the folio API, we can extend
the use of folios to allocate high order folios for multi-page
buffers rather than an array of single pages that are then vmapped
into a contiguous range.

This creates a new type of single folio buffers that can have arbitrary
order in addition to the existing multi-folio buffers made up of many
single page folios that get vmapped.  The single folio is for now
stashed into the existing b_pages array, but that will go away entirely
later in the series and remove the temporary page vs folio typing issues
that only work because the two structures currently can be used largely
interchangeable.

The code that allocates buffers will optimistically attempt a high
order folio allocation as a fast path if the buffer size is a power
of two and thus fits into a folio. If this high order allocation
fails, then we fall back to the existing multi-folio allocation
code. This now forms the slow allocation path, and hopefully will be
largely unused in normal conditions except for buffers with size
that are not a power of two like larger remote xattrs.

This should improve performance of large buffer operations (e.g.
large directory block sizes) as we should now mostly avoid the
expense of vmapping large buffers (and the vmap lock contention that
can occur) as well as avoid the runtime pressure that frequently
accessing kernel vmapped pages put on the TLBs.

Based on a patch from Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com>, but mutilated
beyond recognition.

0d1120b9bb xfs: remove most in-flight buffer accounting
The buffer cache keeps a bt_io_count per-CPU counter to track all
in-flight I/O, which is used to ensure no I/O is in flight when
unmounting the file system.

For most I/O we already keep track of inflight I/O at higher levels:

 - for synchronous I/O (xfs_buf_read/xfs_bwrite/xfs_buf_delwri_submit),
   the caller has a reference and waits for I/O completions using
   xfs_buf_iowait
 - for xfs_buf_delwri_submit_nowait the only caller (AIL writeback)
   tracks the log items that the buffer attached to

This only leaves only xfs_buf_readahead_map as a submitter of
asynchronous I/O that is not tracked by anything else.  Replace the
bt_io_count per-cpu counter with a more specific bt_readahead_count
counter only tracking readahead I/O.  This allows to simply increment
it when submitting readahead I/O and decrementing it when it completed,
and thus simplify xfs_buf_rele and remove the needed for the
XBF_NO_IOACCT flags and the XFS_BSTATE_IN_FLIGHT buffer state.

6bf9b5b40a mm: alloc_pages_bulk: rename API
The previous commit removed the page_list argument from
alloc_pages_bulk_noprof() along with the alloc_pages_bulk_list() function.

Now that only the *_array() flavour of the API remains, we can do the
following renaming (along with the _noprof() ones):

  alloc_pages_bulk_array -> alloc_pages_bulk
  alloc_pages_bulk_array_mempolicy -> alloc_pages_bulk_mempolicy
  alloc_pages_bulk_array_node -> alloc_pages_bulk_node

ee10f6fcdb xfs: fix buffer lookup vs release race
Since commit 298f342245 ("xfs: lockless buffer lookup") the buffer
lookup fastpath is done without a hash-wide lock (then pag_buf_lock, now
bc_lock) and only under RCU protection.  But this means that nothing
serializes lookups against the temporary 0 reference count for buffers
that are added to the LRU after dropping the last regular reference,
and a concurrent lookup would fail to find them.

Fix this by doing all b_hold modifications under b_lock.  We're already
doing this for release so this "only" ~ doubles the b_lock round trips.
We'll later look into the lockref infrastructure to optimize the number
of lock round trips again.

07eae0fa67 xfs: check for dead buffers in xfs_buf_find_insert
Commit 32dd4f9c50 ("xfs: remove a superflous hash lookup when inserting
new buffers") converted xfs_buf_find_insert to use
rhashtable_lookup_get_insert_fast and thus an operation that returns the
existing buffer when an insert would duplicate the hash key.  But this
code path misses the check for a buffer with a reference count of zero,
which could lead to reusing an about to be freed buffer.  Fix this by
using the same atomic_inc_not_zero pattern as xfs_buf_insert.

Fixes: 32dd4f9c50 ("xfs: remove a superflous hash lookup when inserting new buffers")
