This patch modifies the attr set routines to be delay ready. This means
they no longer roll or commit transactions, but instead return -EAGAIN
to have the calling routine roll and refresh the transaction.  In this
series, xfs_attr_set_args has become xfs_attr_set_iter, which uses a
state machine like switch to keep track of where it was when EAGAIN was
returned.

Two new helper functions have been added: xfs_attr_rmtval_set_init and
xfs_attr_rmtval_set_blk.  They provide a subset of logic similar to
xfs_attr_rmtval_set, but they store the current block in the delay attr
context to allow the caller to roll the transaction between allocations.
This helps to simplify and consolidate code used by
xfs_attr_leaf_addname and xfs_attr_node_addname. xfs_attr_set_args has
now become a simple loop to refresh the transaction until the operation
is completed.  Lastly, xfs_attr_rmtval_remove is no longer used, and is
removed.

Below is a state machine diagram for attr set operations. The XFS_DAS_*
states indicate places where the function would return -EAGAIN, and then
immediately resume from after being recalled by the calling function.
States marked as a "subroutine state" indicate that they belong to a
subroutine, and so the calling function needs to pass them back to that
subroutine to allow it to finish where it left off.  But they otherwise
do not have a role in the calling function other than just passing
through.

Similar to the previous patch, I wonder if we need the explicit states
that are otherwise handled by existing inode state. For example, if the
above returns -EAGAIN, xfs_attr_is_shortform() is no longer true on
reentry, right? If that's the case for the other conversions, it seems
like we might only need one state (XFS_DAS_FOUND_LBLK) for this
function.

BTW, that general approach might be more clear if we lifted the format
conversions into this level from down in the format specific add
handlers. The goal would be to make the high level flow look something
like:

	if (shortform) {
		error = sf_try_add();
		if (error == -ENOSPC) {
			shortform_to_leaf(...);
			...
			return -EAGAIN;
		}
	} else if (xfs_bmap_one_block(...)) {
		error = xfs_attr_leaf_try_add(args, *leaf_bp);
		if (error == -ENOSPC) {
			leaf_to_node(...);
			return -EAGAIN;
		}

		... state stuff for leaf add ...
	} else {
		error = xfs_attr_node_addname(dac);
	}

Hm? Of course, something like that should be incorporated via
independent refactoring patches.

This whole function looks like it could use more refactoring to split
out the rename case.

Same deal here. Any time we have this return -EAGAIN followed by a label
pattern I think we're going to want to think about refactoring things
more first to avoid dumping it in the middle of some unnecessarily large
function.

Oh, this hunk is new, not moved, I believe it's been here since I picked 
up the series quite a while ago.  It actually has more to do with parent 
pointers than delayed atts.  Basically when we try to add the parent 
pointer during a create, the inode isnt fully constructed yet, so we 
have add the fork here. I will put this in a separate patch and move it 
further up the set.

Ok, it looks like I can get away with out XFS_DAS_ADD_LEAF and 
XFS_DAS_LEAF_TO_NODE.

This is actually a little similar to how it was done when I was trying 
to use flags instead of the state enums a long time ago.  At the time, I 
got the impression people were concerned about the complexity and 
maintainability.  So we went back to the enums because the explicite 
jumping made it clear where the re-entry was to resume, and reduced the 
risk that a person may mistakenly introduce a change that disrupts the 
reentry flow.  Though perhaps the current arrangement of refactoring has 
made that less concerning?

Well, actually this piece was hoisted out into the helper function in 
patch 13.  So pulling this up is sort of like letting go of patch 13. :-)

The history is: initially I had tried to reduce indentation here in v6 
by taking advantage of the _add_leaf label. Because I think in v5 we 
were trying to unnest where some of the jump points were.  So in v6 I 
had: "if(!shortform) goto leaf;" Which un-nests this shortform code.

Then in the v7 review I think Dave suggested I should add the helper and 
invert the check. So now we have "if(shortform()){ call_helper(); handle 
-EAGAIN; }"

So pulling up is a bit of a circle now.  But still functional if people 
prefer it as it was.  Just need to keep track of the history so we avoid 
going around again. :-)


> 	} else if (xfs_bmap_one_block(...)) {
Mmm.... cant jump into the leaf logic right away.  We need to handle 
releasing leaf_bp which looks like it got lost in the pseudo code?  IIRC 
there is a race condition with the AIL that is resolved by holding the 
leaf buffer across the transaction roll.  So we need to check for that 
and release it upon reentry.

Ok, so lift ENOSPC handler from xfs_attr_leaf_try_add

I think what this becomes right now is:

Drop patch 13
Add new patch xfs: Lift ENOSPC handler from xfs_attr_leaf_try_add

?

By filter out the set up, you mean to introduce the setup flag like you 
mentioned earlier? For example:
	if(flags & setup == 0){
		setup();
		flags |= setup;
	}

To be clear, if we did that, we're talking about adding an "int 
setup_flags" to the dac. And then defineing a XFS_DAC_SETUP_* scheme. 
Like a XFS_DAC_SETUP_ADD_NAME, and an XFS_DAC_SETUP_NODE_REMVE_NAME and 
so on.  Because we cant have multiple functions sharing the same set up 
flag if they ever call each others.

Is that what you mean to imply?  Otherwise I may not be clear on what 
you mean by filtering out the set up.

Hmm, how about we take every thing inside the "if (args->op_flags & 
XFS_DA_OP_RENAME) {"  and put it in a xfs_attr_leaf_rename() helper? 
Then pull the helper into the calling function?

Perhaps. I think it just depends on context. It might not make sense to
try and implement such a reentry model down in the node code where we
have N different non-deterministic states to deal with; as opposed to
here where we're looking at one of a handful of high level formats and
the behavior is very predictable: try to add to the current format, else
convert to the next.

I don't think you need to drop that patch necessarily, but perhaps keep
the conversion part to a separate helper and then introduce a similar
patch for other formats..? In any event, that was just a followup
thought so it might be reasonable to defer it to the next version and
for now just see what it looks like to rely on the format states.

That sounds more like an implementation detail. leaf_bp is set when we
convert from shortform, so isn't this the next state either way?

Re: above, I don't think the patch needs to necessarily go away. Feel

Well we already have a flag scheme for the defer thing, right? Is there
any reason we couldn't define a similar DAC_DEFER_INIT and let each
operation (add/remove) use it as appropriate? Note again that I'm just
trying to think about potential simplifications. If there are isolated
functions that can be made clearly/simply idempotent (like init/setup
helpers tend to be), then doing so might be helpful. I.e., if
xfs_attr_rmtval_set_init() could do something like:

{
	if (dax->flags & DAC_RMTVAL_SET_INIT)
		return;

	dax->flags |= DAC_RMTVAL_SET_INIT;
	...
}

... and that removes an execution state, then that might be a win. If it
requires more complexity than that, then perhaps the suggestion is not
worthwile. ;P

That would help. I'm not sure what the optimal breakdown is off the top
of my head tbh. This function is kind of a logical beast between dealing
with remote blocks and rename and combinations of the two, so I'd have
to stare at that one some more. In general the goal should be to try and
avoid jumping in the middle of logic branches as much as possible so
there's a nice and visible distinction between the state code and the
functional code.

Alrighty then, that sounds reasonable.  I try my best to recall history 
of the decisions just as a sort of guide of where we've been and where 
to go next.

Sort of, I think when we convert out of shortform, and we dont fit in a 
block, we skip over the leaf logic.  But the leaf_bp release should 
happen either way, so it cant belong to either state.

It is an implementation detail, it just sort of breaks up the if/else 
logic in this example.  So I just meant to point it out so that there 
isnt confusion as to why the next patch may not look quite like the 
pseudo code. Or unless I'm overlooking something?

Ok, I may fiddle around with some other arrangements or table it if I

You're right, I momentarily forgot I had added the flag memmber to hoist 
the defer finish out.  Yes, I think using it here would be appropriate. :-)

This seems reasonable, sorry for the earlier confusion.  On a side note 
though, a bit ago Dave had suggested we select a different acronym 
because "dac" is too easy to mix up with other existing schemes like dax 
;-)  I'm not super concerned about it right now because it's purely an 
asthetic thing, but eventuallly we probably should come up with 
something. :-)

I dont think it will be too complicated, and may be of use in the next 
phase of the series.  I will move forward with an init flag scheme in v9

No worries, I think some versions just have to become exploratory 
efforts for that reason.

Ok, I think the *_rename() helpers will help with the unnesting here. 
I'll put it together and see what folks think.

Thank you thank you thank you, for all your time and pateince with this, 
I know its super complicated and I really appreciate all the reviews!

Ok. Perhaps if it's always true that leaf_bp is either NULL or needs to
be released, we could encapsulate that somewhere like at the top of the
function or maybe even in the caller. The latter might be more clear
given the use case. IIRC the purpose of that little trick is simply to
prevent writeback from grabbing hold of an empty leaf between
transactions. It doesn't look like that leaf_bp reference is actually
used for anything else even though the pointer is passed to
leaf_try_add(), but I could be missing something.

I agree. Besides the confusion with DAX, it's not very obvious what DAC
is supposed to mean. Maybe something that reuses the XFS_ATTR_ prefix is
better. Or if not, XATTR_STATE, XATTROP_ (with or without a leading
XFS_) might also be options..? I don't have a strong preference atm.

No problem and likewise. I know it can be painful at times to release 42
versions of a patchset. :) I'm hoping we can start to get some of the
refactoring patches merged to shrink this back down to the core
functional bits that are still under development.

Similar to what I had observed in the patch "Add delay ready attr remove
routines",

Shouldn't XFS_DAC_DEFER_FINISH be set in dac->flags?
__xfs_attr_rmtval_remove() calls __xfs_bunmapi() which would
have added items to the deferred list.

Just note that transaction rolls don't currently finish deferred ops. So
from the perspective of preserving current behavior it might make sense
to set the flag here if there was an explicit xfs_defer_finish() that's
been factored out, but not so if it was just a transaction roll.

Yep, I think Chandan is right, xfs_attr_rmtval_remove used to have a 
xfs_defer_finish and __xfs_attr_rmtval_remove does not.  I think 
probably I'll keep the xfs_defer_finish in the __xfs_attr_rmtval_remove 
helper, and then when we get to this patch, turn it into the flag set. 
I believe that should be correct.
