Add the data_alloc_zone_blocks volume option. This changes the
behaviour of the server to try and give mounts free data extents which
fall in exclusive fixed-size zones.
We add the field to the scoutfs_volume_options struct and add it to the
set_volopt server handler which enforces constrains on the size of the
zones.
We then add fields to the log_trees struct which records the size of the
zones and sets bits for the zones that contain free extents in the
data_avail allocator root. The get_log_trees handler is changed to read
all the zone bitmaps from all the items, pass those bitmaps in to
_alloc_move to direct data allocations, and finally update the bitmaps
in the log_trees items to cover the newly allocated extents. The
log_trees data_alloc_zone fields are cleared as the mount's logs are
reclaimed to indicate that the mount is no longer writing to the zone.
The policy mechanism of finding free extents based on the bitmaps is
ipmlemented down in _data_alloc_move().

Add parameters so that scoutfs_alloc_move() can first search for source
extents in specified zones. It uses relatively cheap searches through

Allocators store free extents in two items, one sorted by their blkno
position and the other by their precise length.
The length index makes it easy to search for precise extent lengths, but
it makes it hard to search for a large extent within a given blkno
region. Skipping in the blkno dimension has to be done for every
precise length value.
We don't need that level of precision. If we index the extents by a
coarser order of the length then we have a fixed number of orders in
which we have to skip in the blkno dimension when searching within a
specific region.
This changes the length item to be stored at the log(8) order of the
length of the extents. This groups extents into orders that are close
to the human-friendly base 10 orders of magnitude.
With this change the order field in the key no longer stores the precise
extent length. To preserve the length of the extent we need to use
another field. The only 64bit field remaining is the first which is a
higher comparision priority than the type. So we use the highest
comparison priority zone field to differentiate the position and order
indexes and can now use all three 64bit fields in the key.
Finally, we have to be careful when constructing a key to use _next when
searching for a large extent. Previously keys were relying on the magic
property that building a key from an extent length of 0 ended up at the
key value -0 = 0. That only worked because we never stored zero length
extents. We now store zero length orders so we can't use the negative
trick anymore. We explicitly treat 0 length extents carefully when
building keys and we subtract the order from U64_MAX to store the orders
from largest to smallest.

A lock that is undergoing invalidation is put on a list of locks in the
super block. Invalidation requests put locks on the list. While locks
are invalidated they're temporarily put on a private list.
To support a request arriving while the lock is being processed we
carefully manage the invalidation fields in the lock between the
invalidation worker and the incoming request. The worker correctly
noticed that a new invalidation request had arrived but it left the lock
on its private list instead of putting it back on the invalidation list
for further processing. The lock was unreachable, wouldn't get
invalidated, and caused everyone trying to use the lock to block
indefinitely.
When the worker sees another request arrive for an invalidating lock it
needs to move the lock from the private list back to the invalidation
list.

Previously we added a ilookup variant that ignored I_FREEING inodes
to avoid a deadlock between lock invalidation (lock->I_FREEING) and
eviction (I_FREEING->lock);
Now we're seeing similar deadlocks between eviction (I_FREEING->lock)
and fh_to_dentry's iget (lock->I_FREEING).
I think it's reasonable to ignore all inodes with I_FREEING set when
we're using our _test callback in ilookup or iget. We can remove the
_nofreeing ilookup variant and move its I_FREEING test into the
iget_test callback provided to both ilookup and iget.
Callers will get the same result, it will just happen without waiting
for a previously I_FREEING inode to leave. They'll get NULL instead of
waiting from ilookup. They'll allocate and start to initialize a newer
instance of the inode and insert it along side the previous instance.
We don't have inode number re-use so we don't have the problem where a
newly allocated inode number is relying on inode cache serialization to
not find a previously allocated inode that is being evicted.
This change does allow for concurrent iget of an inode number that is
being deleted on a local node. This could happen in fh_to_dentry with a
raw inode number. But this was already a problem between mounts because
they don't have a shared inode cache to serialize them. Once we fix
that between nodes, we fix it on a single node as well.

The vfs often calls filesystem methods with i_mutex held. This creates
a natural ordering of i_mutex outside of cluster locks. The file
aio_read method acquired i_mutex after its cluster lock, creating a
deadlock with other vfs methods like setattr.
The acquisition of i_mutex after the cluster lock was due to using the
pattern where we use the per-task lock to discover if we're the first
user of the lock in a call chain. Readpage has to do this, but file
aio_read doesn't. It should never be called recursively. So we can
acquire the i_mutex outside of the cluster lock and warn if we ever are
called recursively.

When move blocks is staging it requires an overlapping offline extent to
cover the entire region to move.
It performs the stage by modifying extents at a time. If there are
fragmented source extents it will modify each of them at a time in the
region.
When looking for the extent to match the source extent it looked from
the iblock of the start of the whole operation, not the start of the
source extent it's matching. This meant that it would find a the first
previous online extent it just modified, which wouldn't be online, and
would return -EINVAL.
The fix is to have it search from the logical start of the extent it's
trying to match, not the start of the region.

The client's incoming lock invalidation request handler triggers a
BUG_ON if it gets a request for a lock that is already processing a
previous invalidation request. The server is supposed to only send
one request at a time.
The problem is that the batched invalidation request handling will send
responses outside of spinlock coverage before reacquirin the lock and
finishing processing once the response send has been successful.
This gives a window for another invalidation request to arrive after the
response was sent but before the invalidation finished processing. This
triggers the bug.
The fix is to mark the lock such that we can recognize a valid second
request arriving after we send the response but before we finish
processing. If it arrives we'll continue invalidation processing with
the arguments from the new request.

Lock teardown during unmount involves first calling shutdown and then
destroy. The shutdown call is meant to ensure that it's safe to tear
down the client network connections. Once shutdown returns locking is
promising that it won't call into the client to send new lock requests.
The current shutdown implementation is very heavy handed and shuts down
everything. This creates a deadlock. After calling lock shutdown, the
client will send its farewell and wait for a response. The server might
not send the farewell response until other mounts have unmounted if our
client is in the server's mount. In this case we stil have to be
processing lock invalidation requests to allow other unmounting clients
to make forward progress.
This is reasonably easy and safe to do. We only use the shutdown flag
to stop lock calls that would change lock state and send requests. We
don't have it stop incoming requests processing in the work queueing
functions. It's safe to keep processing incoming requests between
_shutdown and _destroy because the requests already come in through the
client. As the client shuts down it will stop calling us.

Even though we can pass in gfp flags to vmalloc it eventually calls pte
alloc functions which ignore the caller's flags and use user gfp flags.
This risks reclaim re-entering fs paths during allocations in the block
cache. These allocs that allowed reclaim deep in the fs was causing
lockdep to add RECLAIM dependencies between locks and holler about
deadlocks.
We apply the same pattern that xfs does for disabling reclaim while
allocating vmalloced block payloads. Setting PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO causes
reclaim in that task to clear __GFP_IO and __GFP_FS, regardless of the
individual allocation flags in the task, preventing recursion.

Locks have a bunch of state that reflects concurrent processing.
Testing that state determines when it's safe to free a lock because
nothing is going on.
During unmount we abruptly stop processing locks. Unmount will send a
farewell to the server which will remove all the state associated with
the client that's unmounting for all its locks, regardless of the state
the locks were in.
The client unmount path has to clean up the interupted lock state and
free it, carefully avoiding assertions that would otherwise indicate
that we're freeing used locks. The move to async lock invalidation
forgot to clean up the invalidation state. Previously a synchronous
work function would set and clear invalidate_pending while it was
running. Once we finished waiting for it invalidate_pending would be
clear. The move to async invalidation work meant that we can still have
invalidate_pending with no work executing. Lock destruction removed
locks from the invalidation list but forgot to clear the
invalidate_pending flag.
This triggered assertions during unmount that were otherwise harmless.
There was other use of the lock, we just forgot to clean up the lock
state.

Shutting down the lock client waits for invalidation work and prevents
future work from being queued. We're currently shutting down the
subsystems that lock calls before lock itself, leading to crashes if we
happen to have invalidations executing as we unmount.
Shutting down locking before its dependencies fixes this. This was hit
in testing during the inode deletion fixes because it created the
perfect race by acquiring locks during unmount so that the server was
very unlikely to send invalidations on behalf to one mount on behalf of
another as they both unmounted.

We've had a long-standing deadlock between lock invalidation and
eviction. Invalidating a lock wants to lookup inodes and drop their
resources while blocking locks. Eviction wants to get a lock to perform
final deletion while the inodes has I_FREEING set which blocks lookups.
We only saw this deadlock a handful of times in all of the time we've
run the code, but it's now much more common now that we're acquiring
locks in iput to test that nlink is zero instead of only when nlink is
zero. I see unmount hang regularly when testing final inode deletion.
This adds a lookup variant for invalidation which will refuse to
return freeing inodes so they won't be waited on. Once they're freeing
they can't be seen by future lock users so they don't need to be
invalidated. This keeps the lock invalication promise and avoids
sleeping on freeing inodes which creates the deadlock.

Previously we wouldn't try and remove cached dentries and inodes as
lock revocation removed cluster lock coverage. The next time
we tried to use the cached dentries or inodes we'd acquire
a lock and refresh them.
But now cached inodes prevent final inode deletion. If they linger
outside cluster locking then any final deletion will need to be deferred
until all its cached inodes are naturally dropped at some point in the
future across the cluster. It might take refreshing the dentries or for
memory pressure to push out the old cached inodes.
This tries to proctively drop cached dentries and inodes as we lose
cluster lock coverage if they're not actively referenced. We need to be
careful not to perform final inode deletion during lock invalidation
because it will deadlock, so we defer an iput which could delete during
evict out to async work.
Now deletion can be done synchronously in the task that is performing
the unlink because previous use of the inode on remote mounts hasn't
left unused cached inodes sitting around.

Today an inode's items are deleted once its nlink reaches zero and the
final iput is called in a local mount. This can delete inodes from
under other mounts which have opened the inode before it was unlinked on
another mount.
We fix this by adding cached inode tracking. Each mount maintains
groups of cached inode bitmaps at the same granularity as inode locking.
As a mount performs its final iput it gets a bitmap from the server
which indicates if any other mount has inodes in the group open.
This makes the two fast paths of opening and closing linked files and of
deleting a file that was unlinked locally only pay a moderate cost of
either maintaining the bitmap locally and only getting the open map once
per lock group. Removing many files in a group will only lock and get
the open map once per group.

The sneaky rhashtable_insert_fast() can't return -EEXIST despite the
last line of the function *REALLY* making it look like it can. It just
inserts new objects at the head of the bucket lists without comparing
the insertion with existing objects.
The block cache was relying on insertion to resolve duplicate racing
allocated blocks. Because it couldn't return -EEXIST we could get
duplicate cached blocks present in the hash table.
rhashtable_lookup_insert_fast() fixes this by actually comparing the
inserted objects key with the objects found in the insertion bucket. A

The very first greeting a client sends is unique becuase it doesn't yet
have a server_term field set and tells the server to create items to
track the client.
A server processing this request can create the items and then shut down
before the client is able to receive the reply. They'll resend the
greeting without server_term but then the next server will get -EEXIST
errors as it tries to create items for the client. This causes the
connection to break, which the client tries to reestablish, and the
pattern repeats indefinitely.
The fix is to simply recognize that -EEXIST is acceptable during item
creation. Server message handlers always have to address the case where
a resent message was already processed by a previous server but it's

Each transaction hold makes multiple calls to _alloc_meta_low to see if

blocks to determine if there was space available. The lock and unlock

Instead of a locked holders count and writer boolean we can use an
atomic holders and have a high bit indicate that the write_func is

atomic inc/cmpxchg/dec operations.
Then we were checking allocators under the trans lock. Now that we have
an atomic holders count we can increment it to prevent the writer from
commiting and release it after the checks if we need another commit
before the hold.
And finally, we were freeing our allocated reservation struct under the

we can use journal_info as the nested hold counter instead of having it

Our block cache consistency mechanism allows readers to try and read
stale block references. They check block headers of the block they read
to discover if it has been modified and they should retry the read with
newer block references.
For this to be correct the block contents can't change under the
readers. That's obviously true in the simple imagined case of one node
writing and another node reading. But we also have the case where the
stale reader and dirtying writer can be concurrent tasks in the same
mount which share a block cache.
There were a two failure cases that derive from the order of readers and
writers working with blocks.
If the reader goes first, the writer could find the existing block in
the cache and modify it while the reader assumes that it is read only.
The fix is to have the writer always remove any existing cached block
and insert a newly allocated block into the cache with the header fields
already changed. Any existing readers will still have their cached
block references and any new readers will see the modified headers and
return -ESTALE.
The next failure comes from readers trying to invalidate dirty blocks
when they see modified headers. They assumed that the existing cached
block was old and could be dropped so that a new current version could
be read. But in this case a local writer has clobbered the reader's
stale block and the reader should immediately return -ESTALE.
