In finalize_and_start_log_merge(), we overwrite the server
mount's log tree with its finalized form and then later write out
its next open log tree. This leaves a window where the mount's
srch_file is nulled out, causing us to lose any search items in
that log tree.
This shows up as intermittent failures in the srch-basic-functionality
test.
Eliminate this timing window by doing what unmount/reclaim does when
it finalizes, by moving the resources from the item that we finalize
into server trees/items as it finalizes. Then there is no window
where those resources exist only in memory until we create another
transaction.

There are a few bad corner cases in the state machine that governs how
client transactions are opened, modified, and committed.
The worst problem is on the server side. All server request handlers
need to cope with resent requests without causing bad side effects.
Both get_log_trees and commit_log_trees would try to fully processes
resent requests. _get_log_trees() looks safe because it works with the
log_trees that was stored previously. _commit_log_trees() is not safe
because it can rotate out the srch log file referenced by the sent
log_trees every time it's processed. This could create extra srch
entries which would delete the first instance of entries. Worse still,
by injecting the same block structure into the system multiple times it
ends up causing multiple frees of the blocks that make up the srch file.
The client side problems are slightly different, but related. There
aren't strong constraints which guarantee that we'll only send a commit
request after a get request succeeds. In crazy circumstances the
commit request in the write worker could come before the first get in
mount succeeds. Far worse is that we can send multiple commit requests
for one transaction if it changes as we get errors during multiple
queued write attempts, particularly if we get errors from get_log_trees
after having successfully committed.
This hardens all these paths to ensure a strict sequence of
get_log_trees, transaction modification, and commit_log_trees.
On the server we add *_trans_seq fields to the log_trees struct so that
both get_ and commit_ can see that they've already prepared a commit to
send or have already committed the incoming commit, respectively. We
can use the get_trans_seq field as the trans_seq of the open transaction
and get rid of the entire seperate mechanism we used to have for
tracking open trans seqs in the clients. We can get the same info by
walking the log_trees and looking at their *_trans_seq fields.
In the client we have the write worker immediately return success if
mount hasn't opened the first transaction. Then we don't have the
worker return to allow further modification until it has gotten success
from get_log_trees.

Our statfs implementation had clients reading the super block and using
the next free inode number to guess how many inodes there might be. We
are very aggressive with giving directories private pools of inode
numbers to allocate from. They're often not used at all, creating huge
gaps in allocated inode numbers. The ratio of the average number of
allocations per directory to the batch size given to each directory is
the factor that the used inode count can be off by.
Now that we have a precise count of active inodes we can use that to
return accurate counts of inodes in the files fields in the statfs
struct. We still don't have static inode allocation so the fields don't
make a ton of sense. We fake the total and free count to give a
reasonable estimate of the total files that doesn't change while the
free count is calculated from the correct count of used inodes.
While we're at it we add a request to get the summed fields that the
server can cheaply discover in cache rather than having the client
always perform read IOs.

The fs log btrees have values that start with a header that stores the
item's seq and flags. There's a lot of sketchy code that manipulates
the value header as items are passed around.

only set by the interfaces that are used to store fs items: _insert_list
and _merge. The rest of the btree items that use the main interface

We have a problem where items can appear to go backwards in time because
of the way we chose which log btrees to finalize and merge.
Because we don't have versions in items in the fs_root, and even might
not have items at all if they were deleted, we always assume items in
log btrees are newer than items in the fs root.
This creates the requirement that we can't merge a log btree if it has
items that are also present in older versions in other log btrees which
are not being merged. The unmerged old item in the log btree would take
precedent over the newer merged item in the fs root.
We weren't enforcing this requirement at all. We used the max_item_seq
to ensure that all items were older than the current stable seq but that
says nothing about the relationship between older items in the finalized
and active log btrees. Nothing at all stops an active btree from having
an old version of a newer item that is present in another mount's
finalized log btree.
To reliably fix this we create a strict item seq discontinuity between
all the finalized merge inputs and all the active log btrees. Once any
log btree is naturally finalized the server forced all the clients to
group up and finalize all their open log btrees. A merge operation can
then safely operate on all the finalized trees before any new trees are
given to clients who would start using increasing items seqs.

They don't make sense now that we have separate metadata and data block
devices. The starting blkno is static and we go to the end of the
device.
This removes the fields now that they serve no purpose. The only use
of them to check that freed extents fell within the correct bounds can
still be performed by using the static starting number or roughly using
the size of the devices. It's not perfect, but this is already only
a check to see that the blknos aren't utter nonsense.
We're removing the fields now to avoid having to update them while
worrying about users when resizing devices.

Returning ENOSPC is challenging because we have clients working on
allocators which are a fraction of the whole and we use COW transactions
so we need to be able to allocate to free. This adds support for
returning ENOSPC to client posix allocators as free space gets low.
For metadata, we reserve a number of free blocks for making progress
with client and server transactions which can free space. The server
sets the low flag in a client's allocator if we start to dip into
reserved blocks. In the client we add an argument to entering a
transaction which indicates if we're allocating new space (as opposed to
just modifying existing data or freeing). When an allocating
transaction runs low and the server low flag is set then we return
ENOSPC.
Adding an argument to transaciton holders and having it return ENOSPC
gave us the opportunity to clean it up and make it a little clearer.
More work is done outside the wait_event function and it now
specifically waits for a transaction to cycle when it forces a commit
rather than spinning until the transaction worker acquires the lock and
stops it.
For data the same pattern applies except there are no reserved blocks
and we don't COW data so it's a simple case of returning the hard ENOSPC
when the data allocator flag is set.
The server needs to consider the reserved count when refilling the
client's meta_avail allocator and when swapping between the two
meta_avail and meta_free allocators.
We add the reserved metadata block count to statfs_more so that df can
subtract it from the free meta blocks and make it clear when enospc is
going to be returned for metadata allocations.
We increase the minimum device size in mkfs so that small testing
devices provide sufficient reserved blocks.
And finally we add a little test that makes sure we can fill both
metadata and data to ENOSPC and then recover by deleting what we filled.

Orphaned items haven't been deleted for quite a while -- the call to the
orphan inode scanner has been commented out for ages. The deletion of
the orphan item didn't take rid zone locking into account as we moved
deletion from being strictly local to being performed by whoever last
used the inode.
This reworks orphan item management and brings back orphan inode
scanning to correctly delete orphaned inodes.
We get rid of the rid zone that was always _WRITE locked by each mount.
That made it impossible for other mounts to get a _WRITE lock to delete
orphan items. Instead we rename it to the orphan zone and have orphan
item callers get _WRITE_ONLY locks inside their inode locks. Now all
nodes can create and delete orphan items as they have _WRITE locks on
the associated inodes.
Then we refresh the orphan inode scanning function. It now runs
regularly in the background of all mounts. It avoids creating cluster
lock contention by finding candidates with unlocked forest hint reads
and by testing inode caches locally and via the open map before properly
locking and trying to delete the inode's items.

The core quorum work loop assumes that it has exclusive access to its
slot's quorum block. It uniquely marks blocks it writes and verifies
the marks on read to discover if another mount has written to its slot
under the assumption that this must be a configuration error that put
two mounts in the same slot.
But the design of the leader bit in the block violates the invariant
that only a slot will write to its block. As the server comes up and
fences previous leaders it writes to their block to clear their leader
bit.
The final hole in the design is that because we're fencing mounts, not
slots, each slot can have two mounts in play. An active mount can be
using the slot and there can still be a persistent record of a previous
mount in the slot that crashed that needs to be fenced.
All this comes together to have the server fence an old mount in a slot
while a new mount is coming up. The new mount sees the mark change and
freaks out and stops participating in quorum.
The fix is to rework the quorum blocks so that each slot only writes to
its own block. Instead of the server writing to each fenced mount's
slot, it writes a fence event to its block once all previous mounts have
been fenced. We add a bit of bookkeeping so that the server can
discover when all block leader fence operations have completed. Each
event gets its own term so we can compare events to discover live
servers.
We get rid of the write marks and instead have an event that is written
as a quorum agent starts up and is then checked on every read to make
sure it still matches.

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

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.

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.

Each of the different block types had a reading function that read a
block and then checked their reference struct for their block type.
This gets rid of each block reference type and has a single block_ref

core. By putting ref checking in the core we no longer have to export
checking the block header crc, verifying headers, invalidating blocks,
or even reading raw blocks themseves. Everyone reads refs and leaves
the checking up to the core.
The changes don't have a significant functional effect. This is mostly
just changing types and moving code around. (There are some changes to

As clients unmount they send a farewell request that cleans up
persistent state associated with the mount. The client needs to be sure
that it gets processed, and we must maintain a majority of quorum
members mounted to be able to elect a server to process farewell
requests.
We had a mechanism using the unmount_barrier fields in the greeting and
super_block to let the final unmounting quorum majority know that their
farewells have been processed and that they didn't need to keep trying
to reconnect.
But we missed that we also need this out of band farewell handling
signal for non-quorum member clients as well. The server can send
farewells to a non-member client as well as the final majority and then
tear down all the connections before the non-quorum client can see its
farewell response. It also needs to be able to know that its farewell
has been processed before the server let the final majority unmount.
We can remove the custom unmount_barrier method and instead have all
unmounting clients check for their mounted_client item in the server's
btree. This item is removed as the last step of farewell processing so
if the client sees that it has been removed it knows that it doesn't
need to resend the farewell and can finish unmounting.
This fixes a bug where a non-quorum unmount could hang if it raced with
the final majority unmounting. I was able to trigger this hang in our
tests with 5 mounts and 3 quorum members.

Previously quorum configuration specified the number of votes needed to
elected the leader. This was an excessive amount of freedom in the
configuration of the cluster which created all sorts of problems which
had to be designed around.
Most acutely, though, it required a probabilistic mechanism for mounts
to persistently record that they're starting a server so that future
servers could find and possibly fence them. They would write to a lot
of quorum blocks and trust that it was unlikely that future servers
would overwrite all of their written blocks. Overwriting was always
possible, which would be bad enough, but it also required so much IO
that we had to use long election timeouts to avoid spurious fencing.
These longer timeouts had already gone wrong on some storage
configurations, leading to hung mounts.
To fix this and other problems we see coming, like live membership
changes, we now specifically configure the number and identity of mounts
which will be participating in quorum voting. With specific identities,
mounts now have a corresponding specific block they can write to and
which future servers can read from to see if they're still running.
We change the quorum config in the super block from a single
quorum_count to an array of quorum slots which specify the address of
the mount that is assigned to that slot. The mount argument to specify
a quorum voter changes from "server_addr=$addr" to "quorum_slot_nr=$nr"
which specifies the mount's slot. The slot's address is used for udp
election messages and tcp server connections.
Now that we specifically have configured unique IP addresses for all the
quorum members, we can use UDP messages to send and receive the vote
mesages in the raft protocol to elect a leader. The quorum code doesn't
have to read and write disk block votes and is a more reasonable core
loop that either waits for received network messages or timeouts to
advance the raft election state machine.
The quorum blocks are now used for slots to store their persistent raft
term and to set their leader state. We have event fields in the block
to record the timestamp of the most recent interesting events that
happened to the slot.
Now that raft doesn't use IO, we can leave the quorum election work
running in the background. The raft work in the quorum members is
always running so we can use a much more typical raft implementation
with heartbeats. Critically, this decouples the client and election
life cycles. Quorum is always running and is responsible for starting
and stopping the server. The client repeatedly tries to connect to a
server, it has nothing to do with deciding to participate in quorum.
Finally, we add a quorum/status sysfs file which shows the state of the
quorum raft protocol in a member mount and has the last messages that
were sent to or received from the other members.

As a client unmounts it sends a farewell request to the server. We have
to carefully manage unmounting the final quorum members so that there is
always a remaining quorum to elect a leader to start a server to process
all their farewell requests.
The mechanism for doing this described these clients as "voters".
That's not really right, in our terminology voters and candidates are
temporary roles taken on by members during a specific election term in
the raft protocol. It's more accurate to describe the final set of
clients as quorum members. They can be voters or candidates depending
on how the raft protocol timeouts workout in any given election.
So we rename the greeting flag, mounted client flag, and the code and
comments on either side of the client and server to be a little clearer.
This only changes symbols and comments, there should be no functional
change.
