When we dirty an inode, we are going to have to write it disk at some point in the near future. This requires the inode cluster backing buffer to be present in memory. Unfortunately, under severe memory pressure we can reclaim the inode backing buffer while the inode is dirty in memory, resulting in stalling the AIL pushing because it has to do a read-modify-write cycle on the cluster buffer. When we have no memory available, the read of the cluster buffer blocks the AIL pushing process, and this causes all sorts of issues for memory reclaim as it requires inode writeback to make forwards progress. Allocating a cluster buffer causes more memory pressure, and results in more cluster buffers to be reclaimed, resulting in more RMW cycles to be done in the AIL context and everything then backs up on AIL progress. Only the synchronous inode cluster writeback in the the inode reclaim code provides some level of forwards progress guarantees that prevent OOM-killer rampages in this situation. Fix this by pinning the inode backing buffer to the inode log item when the inode is first dirtied (i.e. in xfs_trans_log_inode()). This may mean the first modification of an inode that has been held in cache for a long time may block on a cluster buffer read, but we can do that in transaction context and block safely until the buffer has been allocated and read. Once we have the cluster buffer, the inode log item takes a reference to it, pinning it in memory, and attaches it to the log item for future reference. This means we can always grab the cluster buffer from the inode log item when we need it. When the inode is finally cleaned and removed from the AIL, we can drop the reference the inode log item holds on the cluster buffer. Once all inodes on the cluster buffer are clean, the cluster buffer will be unpinned and it will be available for memory reclaim to reclaim again. This avoids the issues with needing to do RMW cycles in the AIL pushing context, and hence allows complete non-blocking inode flushing to be performed by the AIL pushing context.
