    xfs: make log devices with write back caches work
    
    There's no reason not to support cache flushing on external log devices.
    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.

    fs: pass exact type of data dirties to ->dirty_inode
    
    Tell the filesystem if we just updated timestamp (I_DIRTY_SYNC) or
    anything else, so that the filesystem can track internally if it
    needs to push out a transaction for fdatasync or not.
    
    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.

    xfs: fix race condition in AIL push trigger
    
    The recent conversion of the xfsaild functionality to a work queue
    introduced a hard-to-hit log space grant hang. 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.

    xfs: make AIL target updates and compares 32bit safe.
    
    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.

    xfs: always push the AIL to the target
    
    The recent conversion of the xfsaild functionality to a work queue
    introduced a hard-to-hit log space grant hang. 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.

    xfs: exit AIL push work correctly when AIL is empty
    
    The recent conversion of the xfsaild functionality to a work queue
    introduced a hard-to-hit log space grant hang. The main cause is a
    regression where a work exit path fails to clear the PUSHING state
    and recheck the target correctly.
    
    Make both exit paths do the same PUSHING bit clearing and target
    checking when the "no more work to be done" condition is hit.

    xfs: ensure reclaim cursor is reset correctly at end of AG
    
    On a 32 bit highmem PowerPC machine, the XFS inode cache was growing
    without bound and exhausting low memory causing the OOM killer to be
    triggered. 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....
