Take advantage of the multigrain timestamp APIs to ensure that nobody
can sneak in and write things to a file between starting a file update
operation and committing the results.  This should have been part of the
multigrain timestamp merge, but I forgot to fling it at jlayton when he
resubmitted the patchset due to developer bandwidth problems.

<title>xfs: fix zero byte checking in the superblock scrubber</title>

<content type='text'>
The logic to check that the region past the end of the superblock is all
zeroes is wrong -- we don't want to check only the bytes past the end of
the maximally sized ondisk superblock structure as currently defined in
xfs_format.h; we want to check the bytes beyond the end of the ondisk as
defined by the feature bits.

Port the superblock size logic from xfs_repair and then put it to use in
xfs_scrub.

The checks that were added to the superblock scrubber for metadata
directories aren't quite right -- the old inode pointers are now defined
to be zeroes until someone else reuses them.  Also consolidate the new
metadir field checks to one place; they were inexplicably scattered
around.

<title>xfs: don't move nondir/nonreg temporary repair files to the metadir namespace</title>

<content type='text'>
Only directories or regular files are allowed in the metadata directory
tree.  Don't move the repair tempfile to the metadir namespace if this
is not true; this will cause the inode verifiers to trip.

xrep_tempfile_adjust_directory_tree opportunistically moves sc-&gt;tempip
from the regular directory tree to the metadata directory tree if sc-&gt;ip
is part of the metadata directory tree.  However, the scrub setup
functions grab sc-&gt;ip and create sc-&gt;tempip before we actually get
around to checking if the file mode is the right type for the scrubber.

IOWs, you can invoke the symlink scrubber with the file handle of a
subdirectory in the metadir.  xrep_setup_symlink will create a temporary
symlink file, xrep_tempfile_adjust_directory_tree will foolishly try to
set the METADATA flag on the temp symlink, which trips the inode
verifier in the inode item precommit, which shuts down the filesystem
when expensive checks are turned on.  If they're /not/ turned on, then
xchk_symlink will return ENOENT when it sees that it's been passed a
symlink, but the invalid inode could still get flushed to disk.  We
don't want that.

<title>xfs: fix sb_spino_align checks for large fsblock sizes</title>

<id>7f8a44f37229fc76bfcafa341a4b8862368ef44a</id>
<content type='text'>
For a sparse inodes filesystem, mkfs.xfs computes the values of
sb_spino_align and sb_inoalignmt with the following code:

	int     cluster_size = XFS_INODE_BIG_CLUSTER_SIZE;

	if (cfg-&gt;sb_feat.crcs_enabled)
		cluster_size *= cfg-&gt;inodesize / XFS_DINODE_MIN_SIZE;

	sbp-&gt;sb_spino_align = cluster_size &gt;&gt; cfg-&gt;blocklog;
	sbp-&gt;sb_inoalignmt = XFS_INODES_PER_CHUNK *
			cfg-&gt;inodesize &gt;&gt; cfg-&gt;blocklog;

On a V5 filesystem with 64k fsblocks and 512 byte inodes, this results
in cluster_size = 8192 * (512 / 256) = 16384.  As a result,
sb_spino_align and sb_inoalignmt are both set to zero.  Unfortunately,
this trips the new sb_spino_align check that was just added to
xfs_validate_sb_common, and the mkfs fails:

# mkfs.xfs -f -b size=64k, /dev/sda

Ever since 6.12-rc1, I've observed a pile of warnings from the kernel
when running fstests with quotas enabled:

This corresponds to the line:

	WARN_ON_ONCE(current-&gt;flags &amp; PF_MEMALLOC);

within the NOFAIL checks.  What's happening here is that the XFS AIL is
trying to write a disk quota update back into the filesystem, but for
that it needs to read the ondisk buffer for the dquot.  The buffer is
not in memory anymore, probably because it was evicted.  Regardless, the
buffer cache tries to allocate a new buffer, but those allocations are
NOFAIL.  The AIL thread has marked itself PF_MEMALLOC (aka noreclaim)
since commit 43ff2122e6492b ("xfs: on-stack delayed write buffer lists")
presumably because reclaim can push on XFS to push on the AIL.

An easy way to fix this probably would have been to drop the NOFAIL flag
from the xfs_buf allocation and open code a retry loop, but then there's
still the problem that for bs&gt;ps filesystems, the buffer itself could
require up to 64k worth of pages.

Inode items had similar behavior (multi-page cluster buffers that we
don't want to allocate in the AIL) which we solved by making transaction
precommit attach the inode cluster buffers to the dirty log item.  Let's
solve the dquot problem in the same way.

So: Make a real precommit handler to read the dquot buffer and attach it
to the log item; pass it to dqflush in the push method; and have the
iodone function detach the buffer once we've flushed everything.  Add a
state flag to the log item to track when a thread has entered the
precommit -&gt; push mechanism to skip the detaching if it turns out that
the dquot is very busy, as we don't hold the dquot lock between log item
commit and AIL push).

Reading and attaching the dquot buffer in the precommit hook is inspired
by the work done for inode cluster buffers some time ago.

Clean up these functions a little bit before we move on to the real
modifications, and make the variable naming consistent for dquot log
items.
