This patch series adds support for async buffered writes when using both
xfs and io-uring. Currently io-uring only supports buffered writes in the
slow path, by processing them in the io workers. With this patch series it is
now possible to support buffered writes in the fast path. To be able to use
the fast path the required pages must be in the page cache, the required locks
in xfs can be granted immediately and no additional blocks need to be read
form disk.

Updating the inode can take time. An optimization has been implemented for
the time update. Time updates will be processed in the slow path. While there
is already a time update in process, other write requests for the same file,
can skip the update of the modification time.
  

Performance results:
  For fio the following results have been obtained with a queue depth of
  1 and 4k block size (runtime 600 secs):

                 sequential writes:
                 without patch           with patch      libaio     psync
  iops:              77k                    209k          195K       233K
  bw:               314MB/s                 854MB/s       790MB/s    953MB/s
  clat:            9600ns                   120ns         540ns     3000ns


For an io depth of 1, the new patch improves throughput by over three times
(compared to the exiting behavior, where buffered writes are processed by an
io-worker process) and also the latency is considerably reduced. To achieve the
same or better performance with the exisiting code an io depth of 4 is required.
Increasing the iodepth further does not lead to improvements.

In addition the latency of buffered write operations is reduced considerably.



Support for async buffered writes:

  To support async buffered writes the flag FMODE_BUF_WASYNC is introduced. In
  addition the check in generic_write_checks is modified to allow for async
  buffered writes that have this flag set.

  Changes to the iomap page create function to allow the caller to specify
  the gfp flags. Sets the IOMAP_NOWAIT flag in iomap if IOCB_NOWAIT has been set
  and specifies the requested gfp flags.

  Adds the iomap async buffered write support to the xfs iomap layer.
  Adds async buffered write support to the xfs iomap layer.

Support for async buffered write support and inode time modification

  Splits the functions for checking if the file privileges need to be removed in
  two functions: check function and a function for the removal of file privileges.
  The same split is also done for the function to update the file modification time.

  Implement an optimization that while a file modification time is pending other
  requests for the same file don't need to wait for the file modification update. 
  This avoids that a considerable number of buffered async write requests get
  punted.

  Take the ilock in nowait mode if async buffered writes are enabled and enable
  the async buffered writes optimization in io_uring.

Support for write throttling of async buffered writes:

  Add a no_wait parameter to the exisiting balance_dirty_pages() function. The
  function will return -EAGAIN if the parameter is true and write throttling is
  required.

  Add a new function called balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited_async() that will be
  invoked from iomap_write_iter() if an async buffered write is requested.
  
Enable async buffered write support in xfs
   This enables async buffered writes for xfs.


Testing:
  This patch has been tested with xfstests and fio.


Changes:
  V4:
  - Reformat new code in generic_write_checks_count().
  - Removed patch that introduced new function iomap_page_create_gfp().
  - Add gfp parameter to iomap_page_create() and change all callers
    All users will enforce the number of blocks check
  - Removed confusing statement in iomap async buffer support patch
  - Replace no_wait variable in __iomap_write_begin with check of
    IOMAP_NOWAIT for easier readability.
  - Moved else if clause in __iomap_write_begin into else clause for
    easier readability
  - Removed the balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited_async() function and
    reverted back to the earlier version that used the function
    balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited_flags()
  - Introduced the flag BDP_ASYNC.
  - Renamed variable in iomap_write_iter from i_mapping to mapping.
  - Directly call balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited_flags() in the function
    iomap_write_iter().
  - Re-ordered the patches.
  
  V3:
  - Reformat new code in generic_write_checks_count() to line lengthof 80.
  - Remove if condition in __iomap_write_begin to maintain current behavior.
  - use GFP_NOWAIT flag in __iomap_write_begin
  - rename need_file_remove_privs() function to file_needs_remove_privs()
  - rename do_file_remove_privs to __file_remove_privs()
  - add kernel documentation to file_remove_privs() function
  - rework else if branch in file_remove_privs() function
  - add kernel documentation to file_modified() function
  - add kernel documentation to file_modified_async() function
  - rename err variable in file_update_time to ret
  - rename function need_file_update_time() to file_needs_update_time()
  - rename function do_file_update_time() to __file_update_time()
  - don't move check for FMODE_NOCMTIME in generic helper
  - reformat __file_update_time for easier reading
  - add kernel documentation to file_update_time() function
  - fix if in file_update_time from < to <=
  - move modification of inode flags from do_file_update_time to file_modified()
    When this function is called, the caller must hold the inode lock.
  - 3 new patches from Jan to add new no_wait flag to balance_dirty_pages(),
    remove patch 12 from previous series
  - Make balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited_flags() a static function
  - Add new balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited_async() function
  
  V2:
  - Remove atomic allocation
  - Use direct write in xfs_buffered_write_iomap_begin()
  - Use xfs_ilock_for_iomap() in xfs_buffered_write_iomap_begin()
  - Remove no_wait check at the end of xfs_buffered_write_iomap_begin() for
    the COW path.
  - Pass xfs_inode pointer to xfs_ilock_iocb and rename function to
    xfs_lock_xfs_inode
  - Replace existing uses of xfs_ilock_iocb with xfs_ilock_xfs_inode
  - Use xfs_ilock_xfs_inode in xfs_file_buffered_write()
  - Callers of xfs_ilock_for_iomap need to initialize lock mode. This is
    required so writes use an exclusive lock
  - Split of _balance_dirty_pages() from balance_dirty_pages() and return
    sleep time
  - Call _balance_dirty_pages() in balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited_flags()
  - Move call to balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited_flags() in iomap_write_iter()
    to the beginning of the loop

From: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>

We start background writeback if we are over background threshold after
exiting the main loop in balance_dirty_pages(). This may result in
basing the decision on already stale values (we may have slept for
significant amount of time) and it is also inconvenient for refactoring
needed for async dirty throttling. Move the check into the main waiting
loop.

From: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>

Transition of wb->dirty_exceeded from 0 to 1 happens before we go to
sleep in balance_dirty_pages() while transition from 1 to 0 happens when
exiting from balance_dirty_pages(), possibly based on old values. This
does not make a lot of sense since wb->dirty_exceeded should simply
reflect whether wb is over dirty limit and so we should ratelimit
entering to balance_dirty_pages() less. Move the two updates together.

From: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>

If balance_dirty_pages() gets called for async buffered write, we don't
want to wait. Instead we need to indicate to the caller that throttling
is needed so that it can stop writing and offload the rest of the write
to a context that can block.

This adds the helper function balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited_flags().
It adds the parameter flags to balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited().
The flags parameter is passed to balance_dirty_pages(). For async
buffered writes the flag value will be BDP_ASYNC.

The new helper function is also used by balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited().

This replaces the call to balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited() with the
call to balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited_flags. This allows to specify if
the write request is async or not.

In addition this also moves the above function call to the beginning of
the function. If the function call is at the end of the function and the
decision is made to throttle writes, then there is no request that
io-uring can wait on. By moving it to the beginning of the function, the
write request is not issued, but returns -EAGAIN instead. io-uring will
punt the request and process it in the io-worker.

By moving the function call to the beginning of the function, the write
throttling will happen one page later.

This introduces the flag FMODE_BUF_WASYNC. If devices support async
buffered writes, this flag can be set. It also modifies the check in
generic_write_checks to take async buffered writes into consideration.

This adds a file_modified_async() function to return -EAGAIN if the
request either requires to remove privileges or needs to update the file
modification time. This is required for async buffered writes, so the
request gets handled in the io worker of io-uring.

This introduces the S_PENDING_TIME flag. If an async buffered write
needs to update the time, it cannot be processed in the fast path of
io-uring. When a time update is pending this flag is set for async
buffered writes. Other concurrent async buffered writes for the same
file do not need to wait while this time update is pending.

This reduces the number of async buffered writes that need to get punted
to the io-workers in io-uring.

This enables the async buffered writes for the filesystems that support
async buffered writes in io-uring. Buffered writes are enabled for
blocks that are already in the page cache or can be acquired with noio.

This adds the io_uring_short_write tracepoint to io_uring. A short write
is issued if not all pages that are required for a write are in the page
cache and the async buffered writes have to return EAGAIN.

This adds the async buffered write support to the iomap layer of XFS. If
a lock cannot be acquired or additional reads need to be performed, the
request will return -EAGAIN in case this is an async buffered write
request.

This patch changes the helper function xfs_ilock_for_iomap such that the
lock mode needs to be passed in.

This adds the async buffered write support to XFS. For async buffered
write requests, the request will return -EAGAIN if the ilock cannot be
obtained immediately.

This splits off a new helper xfs_ilock_inode from the existing helper
xfs_ilock_iocb so it can be used for this function. The exising helper
cannot be used as it hardcoded the inode to be used.

I don't tink this really makes sense without the next patch, so I'd
suggest to merge the two.

Bot the mapping and bdp_flags don't change over the loop iterations,
so we can initialize them once at the start of the function.

Otherwise this looks good, but I think this should go into the
previous patch as it is a central part of supporting async buffered
writes.

Please avoid the overly long line.

Looking at this I also thnk my second suggestion of just passing the
flags to iomap_page_create and let iomap_page_create itself pick the
gfp_t might be the better option here.

file_modified_flags?  Or even bette kiocb_modified and pass the
kiocb as that makes is very clear which flags we use by making that
implicit.

EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL, please.

And this should go into the XFS enablemnt patch.

No need for the extern here, or any function declarations for that
matter.

No need to pass both and inode and a file as the former can be trivially
derived from the latter.  But if I'm not misreading the patch, file is
entirely unused here anyway, so can't we just drop it and rename the
function to inode_needs_update_time?

I'd be tempted to just open code this in the two callers, but either
way works for me.  If we keep the function please don't pass the
inode separately.

So why don't we just define a __file_remove_privs that gets the iocb
flags passed an an extra argument, and then make file_remove_privs pass
0 flags, and maybe also add a kiocb_remove_privs wrapper for callers
that have the kiocb.  Same for the timestamp update, btw.  That seems
less churn and less code overall.

So from a pure commit structure POV, I'd make the changes to
xfs_ilock_for_iomap one separate and clearly document patch, and then
merge all the rest of the XFS enablement into a single other patch.

Actually this should also be a prep patch - but the please try to
follow the rule that standalone enablement like refactoring or new
funtionality for helpers is one patch, the actual use of it for a new
feature should preferably one patch for the whole feature.

A couple of nitpicky things:

"ilock" is shorthand for "inode lock", which means this name expands to
"xfs inode lock xfs inode", which is redundant.  Seeing as the whole
point of this function is to take a particular inode lock with a
particular set of IOCB flags, just leave the name as it was.

> +	struct xfs_inode	*ip,

"iocb_flags", not "flags", to reinforce what kind of flags are supposed
to be passed in here.

Yeah, as Christoph says perhaps fold this into patch 3. Otherwise the
changes look good to me.

You still didn't address my concern that i_flags is modified without the
protection of i_rwsem here. That can lead to corruption of i_flags value
and rather nasty (and hard to debug) consequences. You can use
inode_set_flags() here to make things kinda safe. The whole inode->i_flags
handling is a mess but not yours to resolve ;)

Replaced the gfp paramter with a flags parameter and decide on setting
the gfp flags in iomap_page_create.

 I introduced a __file_remove_privs() function with an additional parameter
that takes the iocb_flags.

I renamed the function to inode_needs_update_time and only pass the inode
pointer.
