<content type='text'>
Unlinked list recovery requires errors removing the inode the from
the unlinked list get fed back to the main recovery loop. Now that
we offload the unlinking to the inodegc work, we don't get errors
being fed back when we trip over a corruption that prevents the
inode from being removed from the unlinked list.

This means we never clear the corrupt unlinked list bucket,
resulting in runtime operations eventually tripping over it and
shutting down.

Fix this by collecting inodegc worker errors and feed them
back to the flush caller. This is largely best effort - the only
context that really cares is log recovery, and it only flushes a
single inode at a time so we don't need complex synchronised
handling. Essentially the inodegc workers will capture the first
error that occurs and the next flush will gather them and clear
them. The flush itself will only report the first gathered error.

In the cases where callers can return errors, propagate the
collected inodegc flush error up the error handling chain.

In the case of inode unlinked list recovery, there are several
superfluous calls to flush queued unlinked inodes -
xlog_recover_iunlink_bucket() guarantees that it has flushed the
inodegc and collected errors before it returns. Hence nothing in the
calling path needs to run a flush, even when an error is returned.

<title>xfs: validate block number being freed before adding to xefi</title>

Bad things happen in defered extent freeing operations if it is
passed a bad block number in the xefi. This can come from a bogus
agno/agbno pair from deferred agfl freeing, or just a bad fsbno
being passed to __xfs_free_extent_later(). Either way, it's very
difficult to diagnose where a null perag oops in EFI creation
is coming from when the operation that queued the xefi has already
been completed and there's no longer any trace of it around....

If the agfl or the indexing in the AGF has been corrupted, getting a
block form the AGFL could return an invalid block number. If this
happens, bad things happen. Check the agbno we pull off the AGFL
and return -EFSCORRUPTED if we find somethign bad.

<title>xfs: fix agf/agfl verification on v4 filesystems</title>

<content type='text'>
When a v4 filesystem has fl_last - fl_first != fl_count, we do not
not detect the corruption and allow the AGF to be used as it if was
fully valid. On V5 filesystems, we reset the AGFL to empty in these
cases and avoid the corruption at a small cost of leaked blocks.

If we don't catch the corruption on V4 filesystems, bad things
happen later when an allocation attempts to trim the free list
and either double-frees stale entries in the AGFl or tries to free
NULLAGBNO entries.

Either way, this is bad. Prevent this from happening by using the
AGFL_NEED_RESET logic for v4 filesysetms, too.

<title>xfs: fix double xfs_perag_rele() in xfs_filestream_pick_ag()</title>

xfs_bmap_longest_free_extent() can return an error when accessing
the AGF fails. In this case, the behaviour of
xfs_filestream_pick_ag() is conditional on the error. We may
continue the loop, or break out of it. The error handling after the
loop cleans up the perag reference held when the break occurs. If we
continue, the next loop iteration handles cleaning up the perag
reference.

EIther way, we don't need to release the active perag reference when
xfs_bmap_longest_free_extent() fails. Doing so means we do a double
decrement on the active reference count, and this causes tha active
reference count to fall to zero. At this point, new active
references will fail.

This leads to unmount hanging because it tries to grab active
references to that perag, only for it to fail. This happens inside a
loop that retries until a inode tree radix tree tag is cleared,
which cannot happen because we can't get an active reference to the
perag.

<title>xfs: fix broken logic when detecting mergeable bmap records</title>

<content type='text'>
Commit 6bc6c99a944c was a well-intentioned effort to initiate
consolidation of adjacent bmbt mapping records by setting the PREEN
flag.  Consolidation can only happen if the length of the combined
record doesn't overflow the 21-bit blockcount field of the bmbt
recordset.  Unfortunately, the length test is inverted, leading to it
triggering on data forks like these:

 EXT: FILE-OFFSET           BLOCK-RANGE        AG AG-OFFSET               TOTAL
   0: [0..16777207]:        76110848..92888055  0 (76110848..92888055) 16777208
   1: [16777208..20639743]: 92888056..96750591  0 (92888056..96750591)  3862536

Note that record 0 has a length of 16777208 512b blocks.  This
corresponds to 2097151 4k fsblocks, which is the maximum.  Hence the two
records cannot be merged.

However, the logic is still wrong even if we change the in-loop
comparison, because the scope of our examination isn't broad enough
inside the loop to detect mappings like this:

   0: [0..9]:               76110838..76110847  0 (76110838..76110847)       10
   1: [10..16777217]:       76110848..92888055  0 (76110848..92888055) 16777208
   2: [16777218..20639753]: 92888056..96750591  0 (92888056..96750591)  3862536

These three records could be merged into two, but one cannot determine
this purely from looking at records 0-1 or 1-2 in isolation.

Hoist the mergability detection outside the loop, and base its decision
making on whether or not a merged mapping could be expressed in fewer
bmbt records.  While we're at it, fix the incorrect return type of the
iter function.

Lock order in XFS is AGI -&gt; AGF, hence for operations involving
inode unlinked list operations we always lock the AGI first. Inode
unlinked list operations operate on the inode cluster buffer,
so the lock order there is AGI -&gt; inode cluster buffer.

For O_TMPFILE operations, this now means the lock order set down in
xfs_rename and xfs_link is AGI -&gt; inode cluster buffer -&gt; AGF as the
unlinked ops are done before the directory modifications that may
allocate space and lock the AGF.

Unfortunately, we also now lock the inode cluster buffer when
logging an inode so that we can attach the inode to the cluster
buffer and pin it in memory. This creates a lock order of AGF -&gt;
inode cluster buffer in directory operations as we have to log the
inode after we've allocated new space for it.

This creates a lock inversion between the AGF and the inode cluster
buffer. Because the inode cluster buffer is shared across multiple
inodes, the inversion is not specific to individual inodes but can
occur when inodes in the same cluster buffer are accessed in
different orders.

To fix this we need move all the inode log item cluster buffer
interactions to the end of the current transaction. Unfortunately,
xfs_trans_log_inode() calls are littered throughout the transactions
with no thought to ordering against other items or locking. This
makes it difficult to do anything that involves changing the call
sites of xfs_trans_log_inode() to change locking orders.

However, we do now have a mechanism that allows is to postpone dirty
item processing to just before we commit the transaction: the
-&gt;iop_precommit method. This will be called after all the
modifications are done and high level objects like AGI and AGF
buffers have been locked and modified, thereby providing a mechanism
that guarantees we don't lock the inode cluster buffer before those
high level objects are locked.

This change is largely moving the guts of xfs_trans_log_inode() to
xfs_inode_item_precommit() and providing an extra flag context in
the inode log item to track the dirty state of the inode in the
current transaction. This also means we do a lot less repeated work
in xfs_trans_log_inode() by only doing it once per transaction when
all the work is done.

To fix a AGI-AGF-inode cluster buffer deadlock, we need to move
inode cluster buffer operations to the -&gt;iop_precommit() method.
However, this means that deferred operations can require precommits
to be run on the final transaction that the deferred ops pass back
to xfs_trans_commit() context. This will be exposed by attribute
handling, in that the last changes to the inode in the attr set
state machine "disappear" because the precommit operation is not run.

It was accidentally dropped when refactoring the allocation code,
resulting in the AG iteration always doing blocking AG iteration.
This results in a small performance regression for a specific fsmark
test that runs more user data writer threads than there are AGs.
