The only thing this really requires is flushing the data device first both in fsync and log commits. A side effect is that we also have to remove the barrier write test during mount, which has been superflous since the new FLUSH+FUA code anyway. Also use the chance to flush the RT subvolume write cache before the fsync commit, which is required for correct semantics.

This is just the prototype change with no user for it yet. I plan to push large XFS changes for the next merge window, and getting this trivial infrastructure in this window would help a lot to avoid tree interdependencies. Also remove incorrect comments that ->dirty_inode can't block. That has been changed a long time ago, and many implementations rely on it.

One is caused by a race condition in determining whether there is a psh in progress or not. The XFS_AIL_PUSHING_BIT is used to determine whether a push is currently in progress. When the AIL push work completes, it checked whether the target changed and cleared the PUSHING bit to allow a new push to be requeued. The race condition is as follows: Thread 1 push work smp_wmb() smp_rmb() check ailp->xa_target unchanged update ailp->xa_target test/set PUSHING bit does not queue clear PUSHING bit does not requeue Now that the push target is updated, new attempts to push the AIL will not trigger as the push target will be the same, and hence despite trying to push the AIL we won't ever wake it again. The fix is to ensure that the AIL push work clears the PUSHING bit before it checks if the target is unchanged. As a result, both push triggers operate on the same test/set bit criteria, so even if we race in the push work and miss the target update, the thread requesting the push will still set the PUSHING bit and queue the push work to occur. For safety sake, the same queue check is done if the push work detects the target change, though only one of the two will will queue new work due to the use of test_and_set_bit() checks.

The recent conversion of the xfsaild functionality to a work queue introduced a hard-to-hit log space grant hang. One of the problems noticed was that updates of the push target are not 32 bit safe as the target is a 64 bit value. We cannot copy a 64 bit LSN without the possibility of corrupting the result when racing with another updating thread. We have function to do this update safely without needing to care about 32/64 bit issues - xfs_trans_ail_copy_lsn() - so use that when updating the AIL push target. Also move the reading of the target in the push work inside the AIL lock, and use XFS_LSN_CMP() for the unlocked comparison during work termination to close read holes as well.

One of the problems discovered is a target mismatch between the item pushing loop and the target itself. The push trigger checks for the target increasing (i.e. new target > current) while the push loop only pushes items that have a LSN < current. As a result, we can get the situation where the push target is X, the items at the tail of the AIL have LSN X and they don't get pushed. The push work then completes thinking it is done, and cannot be restarted until the push target increases to >= X + 1. If the push target then never increases (because the tail is not moving), then we never run the push work again and we stall. Fix it by making sure log items with a LSN that matches the target exactly are pushed during the loop.

After some effort, the problem was reproduced on a 32 bit x86 highmem machine. The problem is that the per-ag inode reclaim index cursor was not getting reset to the start of the AG if the radix tree tag lookup found no more reclaimable inodes. Hence every further reclaim attempt started at the same index beyond where any reclaimable inodes lay, and no further background reclaim ever occurred from the AG. Without background inode reclaim the VM driven cache shrinker simply cannot keep up with cache growth, and OOM is the result. While the change that exposed the problem was the conversion of the inode reclaim to use work queues for background reclaim, it was not the cause of the bug. The bug was introduced when the cursor code was added, just waiting for some weird configuration to strike....
