[PATCH 04/10] ext4: completed_io locking cleanup V3

Current unwritten extent conversion state-machine is very fuzzy.
- By unknown reason it want perform conversion under i_mutex. What for?
It was initially added by Theodore. Please comment your initial assumption.
My diagnosis:
We already protect extent tree with i_data_sem, truncate should
wait for DIO in flight, so the only data we have to protect io->flags
modification, but only flush_completed_IO and work are modified this
flags and we can serialize them via i_completed_io_lock.
Currently all this games with mutex_trylock result in following deadlock
truncate: kworker:
ext4_setattr ext4_end_io_work
mutex_lock(i_mutex)
inode_dio_wait(inode) ->BLOCK
DEADLOCK<- mutex_trylock()
inode_dio_done()
#TEST_CASE1_BEGIN
MNT=/mnt_scrach
unlink $MNT/file
fallocate -l $((1024*1024*1024)) $MNT/file
aio-stress -I 100000 -O -s 100m -n -t 1 -c 10 -o 2 -o 3 $MNT/file
sleep 2
truncate -s 0 $MNT/file
#TEST_CASE1_END
Or use 286's xfstests https://github.com/dmonakhov/xfstests/blob/devel/286
This patch makes state machine simple and clean:
(1) ext4_end_io_work is responsible for handling all pending
end_io from ei->i_completed_io_list(per inode list)
NOTE1: i_completed_io_lock is acquired only once
NOTE2: i_mutex is not required because it does not protect
any data guarded by i_mutex any more
(2) xxx_end_io schedule end_io context completion simply by pushing it
to the inode's list.
NOTE1: because of (1) work should be queued only if
->i_completed_io_list was empty at the moment, otherwise it
work is scheduled already.
(3) No one is able to free inode's blocks while pented io_completion
exist othervise may result in blocks beyond EOF, this
stated by the fact that all truncate routines wait for
all pended unwritten requets in flight
(4) Replace flush_completed_io() with ext4_unwritten_wait(). This
allow greatly simplify state machine because end_io conext
will be destroyed only in one place (end_io_work)
- remove EXT4_IO_END_QUEUED and EXT4_IO_END_FSYNC flags because
end_io is now destroyed from known context
- Improve SMP scalability by removing useless i_mutex which does not
protect io->flags anymore.
- Reduce lock contention on i_completed_io_lock by optimizing list walk.
- Move open coded logic from various xx_end_xx routines to ext4_add_complete_io()
Changes since V2:
Fix use-after-free caused by race truncate vs end_io_work
