David Chinner 2a82b8be8a [XFS] Concurrent Multi-File Data Streams
In media spaces, video is often stored in a frame-per-file format. When
dealing with uncompressed realtime HD video streams in this format, it is
crucial that files do not get fragmented and that multiple files a placed
contiguously on disk.

When multiple streams are being ingested and played out at the same time,
it is critical that the filesystem does not cross the streams and
interleave them together as this creates seek and readahead cache miss
latency and prevents both ingest and playout from meeting frame rate
targets.

This patch set creates a "stream of files" concept into the allocator to
place all the data from a single stream contiguously on disk so that RAID
array readahead can be used effectively. Each additional stream gets
placed in different allocation groups within the filesystem, thereby
ensuring that we don't cross any streams. When an AG fills up, we select a
new AG for the stream that is not in use.

The core of the functionality is the stream tracking - each inode that we
create in a directory needs to be associated with the directories' stream.
Hence every time we create a file, we look up the directories' stream
object and associate the new file with that object.

Once we have a stream object for a file, we use the AG that the stream
object point to for allocations. If we can't allocate in that AG (e.g. it
is full) we move the entire stream to another AG. Other inodes in the same
stream are moved to the new AG on their next allocation (i.e. lazy
update).

Stream objects are kept in a cache and hold a reference on the inode.
Hence the inode cannot be reclaimed while there is an outstanding stream
reference. This means that on unlink we need to remove the stream
association and we also need to flush all the associations on certain
events that want to reclaim all unreferenced inodes (e.g. filesystem
freeze).

/*
* The MRU Cache data structure consists of a data store, an array of lists and
* a lock to protect its internal state. At initialisation time, the client
* supplies an element lifetime in milliseconds and a group count, as well as a
* function pointer to call when deleting elements. A data structure for
* queueing up work in the form of timed callbacks is also included.
*
* The group count controls how many lists are created, and thereby how finely
* the elements are grouped in time. When reaping occurs, all the elements in
* all the lists whose time has expired are deleted.
*
* To give an example of how this works in practice, consider a client that
* initialises an MRU Cache with a lifetime of ten seconds and a group count of
* five. Five internal lists will be created, each representing a two second
* period in time. When the first element is added, time zero for the data
* structure is initialised to the current time.
*
* All the elements added in the first two seconds are appended to the first
* list. Elements added in the third second go into the second list, and so on.
* If an element is accessed at any point, it is removed from its list and
* inserted at the head of the current most-recently-used list.
*
* The reaper function will have nothing to do until at least twelve seconds
* have elapsed since the first element was added. The reason for this is that
* if it were called at t=11s, there could be elements in the first list that
* have only been inactive for nine seconds, so it still does nothing. If it is
* called anywhere between t=12 and t=14 seconds, it will delete all the
* elements that remain in the first list. It's therefore possible for elements
* to remain in the data store even after they've been inactive for up to
* (t + t/g) seconds, where t is the inactive element lifetime and g is the
* number of groups.
*
* The above example assumes that the reaper function gets called at least once
* every (t/g) seconds. If it is called less frequently, unused elements will
* accumulate in the reap list until the reaper function is eventually called.
* The current implementation uses work queue callbacks to carefully time the
* reaper function calls, so this should happen rarely, if at all.
*
* From a design perspective, the primary reason for the choice of a list array
* representing discrete time intervals is that it's only practical to reap
* expired elements in groups of some appreciable size. This automatically
* introduces a granularity to element lifetimes, so there's no point storing an
* individual timeout with each element that specifies a more precise reap time.
* The bonus is a saving of sizeof(long) bytes of memory per element stored.
*
* The elements could have been stored in just one list, but an array of
* counters or pointers would need to be maintained to allow them to be divided
* up into discrete time groups. More critically, the process of touching or
* removing an element would involve walking large portions of the entire list,
* which would have a detrimental effect on performance. The additional memory
* requirement for the array of list heads is minimal.
*
* When an element is touched or deleted, it needs to be removed from its
* current list. Doubly linked lists are used to make the list maintenance
* portion of these operations O(1). Since reaper timing can be imprecise,
* inserts and lookups can occur when there are no free lists available. When
* this happens, all the elements on the LRU list need to be migrated to the end
* of the reap list. To keep the list maintenance portion of these operations
* O(1) also, list tails need to be accessible without walking the entire list.
* This is the reason why doubly linked list heads are used.
*/
/*
* An MRU Cache is a dynamic data structure that stores its elements in a way
* that allows efficient lookups, but also groups them into discrete time
* intervals based on insertion time. This allows elements to be efficiently
* and automatically reaped after a fixed period of inactivity.
*
* When a client data pointer is stored in the MRU Cache it needs to be added to
* both the data store and to one of the lists. It must also be possible to
* access each of these entries via the other, i.e. to:
*
* a) Walk a list, removing the corresponding data store entry for each item.
* b) Look up a data store entry, then access its list entry directly.
*
* To achieve both of these goals, each entry must contain both a list entry and
* a key, in addition to the user's data pointer. Note that it's not a good
* idea to have the client embed one of these structures at the top of their own
* data structure, because inserting the same item more than once would most
* likely result in a loop in one of the lists. That's a sure-fire recipe for
* an infinite loop in the code.
