This patch modifies the attr remove routines to be delay ready. This
means they no longer roll or commit transactions, but instead return
-EAGAIN to have the calling routine roll and refresh the transaction. In
this series, xfs_attr_remove_args has become xfs_attr_remove_iter, which
uses a sort of state machine like switch to keep track of where it was
when EAGAIN was returned. xfs_attr_node_removename has also been
modified to use the switch, and a new version of xfs_attr_remove_args
consists of a simple loop to refresh the transaction until the operation
is completed.  A new XFS_DAC_DEFER_FINISH flag is used to finish the
transaction where ever the existing code used to.

Calls to xfs_attr_rmtval_remove are replaced with the delay ready
version __xfs_attr_rmtval_remove. We will rename
__xfs_attr_rmtval_remove back to xfs_attr_rmtval_remove when we are
done.

xfs_attr_rmtval_remove itself is still in use by the set routines (used
during a rename).  For reasons of preserving existing function, we
modify xfs_attr_rmtval_remove to call xfs_defer_finish when the flag is
set.  Similar to how xfs_attr_remove_args does here.  Once we transition
the set routines to be delay ready, xfs_attr_rmtval_remove is no longer
used and will be removed.

This patch also adds a new struct xfs_delattr_context, which we will use
to keep track of the current state of an attribute operation. The new
xfs_delattr_state enum is used to track various operations that are in
progress so that we know not to repeat them, and resume where we left
off before EAGAIN was returned to cycle out the transaction. Other
members take the place of local variables that need to retain their
values across multiple function recalls.  See xfs_attr.h for a more
detailed diagram of the states.

It seems like some comments on the previous version weren't addressed.
I.e., the spurious transaction roll here when a dfops finish occurs..?
Ok, I got the impression from the last review that we wanted most of this looping mechanism to go away, so most of the changes in this set are focused there, and forgot to come back and touch this up. Most of this code disappears in patch 9 now though. I wasnt really sure what people would think of it just yet, so I left that as a patch and the end of the series in case people had different thoughts after seeing the implementation.

I think there's a bit more preliminary refactoring to do here to isolate
the state management to this one function. I.e., from the discussion on
the previous version, we'd ideally pull the logic that checks for the
subsequent shrink state out of xfs_attr_node_remove_step() and lift it
into this branch. See the pseudocode in the previous discussion for an
example of what I mean:

   https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://lore.kernel.org/linux-xfs/20200901170020.GC174813@bfoster/__;!!GqivPVa7Brio!JKxU3Z07HVj0V1YFesXrveRWnoGuWqiTZuaIDiG9UFmSxz-aFGsZPpLtjIOjSht7WL_h$

The general goal of that is to refactor the existing code such that all
of the state transitions and whatnot are shown in one place and the rest
is broken down into smaller functional helpers.

Brian

Yes, I did see the pseudo code, though I wasnt able to get it through the test cases quite the way it appears. Because whether or not we proceed to shrink is determined by the leaf remove that's burried in the step function. Otherwise we run into some failed asserts in the shrink routines for "state->path.active == 1". Alternatly we can add another helper to pull it up to this scope. Then the switch ends up looking like this:

switch (dac->dela_state) { case XFS_DAS_UNINIT: /* * repeatedly remove remote blocks, remove the entry and * join. returns -EAGAIN or 0 for completion of the step. */ error = xfs_attr_node_remove_step(dac); if (error) break;


retval = xfs_attr_node_remove_cleanup(dac);


/* * Check to see if the tree needs to be collapsed. Set the flag to * indicate that the calling function needs to move the to shrink * operation */ if (retval && (state->path.active > 1)) { error = xfs_da3_join(state); if (error) return error;


dac->dela_state = XFS_DAS_RM_SHRINK; return -EAGAIN; }


/* check whether to shrink or return success */ if (!error && xfs_bmap_one_block(dp, XFS_ATTR_FORK)) { dac->dela_state = XFS_DAS_RM_SHRINK; error = -EAGAIN; } break; case XFS_DAS_RM_SHRINK: /* * If the result is small enough, push it all into the inode. */ error = xfs_attr_node_shrink(args, state);


break; default: ASSERT(0); return -EINVAL; }


if (error == -EAGAIN)
                return error;





And then we have this little clean up helper that we pull out of remove_step:



STATIC int xfs_attr_node_remove_cleanup( struct xfs_delattr_context *dac) { struct xfs_da_args *args = dac->da_args; struct xfs_da_state_blk *blk; int retval;


/* * Remove the name and update the hashvals in the tree. */ blk = &dac->da_state->path.blk[ dac->da_state->path.active-1 ]; ASSERT(blk->magic == XFS_ATTR_LEAF_MAGIC); retval = xfs_attr3_leaf_remove(blk->bp, args); xfs_da3_fixhashpath(dac->da_state, &dac->da_state->path);


return retval;
}


This configuration seems to get through the test cases. It's not quite as tidy, but it does get all the state handling into this scope. If people prefer it this way I can add in the extra helper and make these adjustments?
