Darrick J. Wong 5d711e4136 xfs: periodically relog deferred intent items
commit 4e919af7827a6adfc28e82cd6c4ffcfcc3dd6118 upstream.

[ Modify xfs_{bmap|extfree|refcount|rmap}_item.c to fix merge conflicts ]

There's a subtle design flaw in the deferred log item code that can lead
to pinning the log tail.  Taking up the defer ops chain examples from
the previous commit, we can get trapped in sequences like this:

Caller hands us a transaction t0 with D0-D3 attached.  The defer ops
chain will look like the following if the transaction rolls succeed:

t1: D0(t0), D1(t0), D2(t0), D3(t0)
t2: d4(t1), d5(t1), D1(t0), D2(t0), D3(t0)
t3: d5(t1), D1(t0), D2(t0), D3(t0)
...
t9: d9(t7), D3(t0)
t10: D3(t0)
t11: d10(t10), d11(t10)
t12: d11(t10)

In transaction 9, we finish d9 and try to roll to t10 while holding onto
an intent item for D3 that we logged in t0.

The previous commit changed the order in which we place new defer ops in
the defer ops processing chain to reduce the maximum chain length.  Now
make xfs_defer_finish_noroll capable of relogging the entire chain
periodically so that we can always move the log tail forward.  Most
chains will never get relogged, except for operations that generate very
long chains (large extents containing many blocks with different sharing
levels) or are on filesystems with small logs and a lot of ongoing
metadata updates.

Callers are now required to ensure that the transaction reservation is
large enough to handle logging done items and new intent items for the
maximum possible chain length.  Most callers are careful to keep the
chain lengths low, so the overhead should be minimal.

The decision to relog an intent item is made based on whether the intent
was logged in a previous checkpoint, since there's no point in relogging
an intent into the same checkpoint.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
