The introduction of barriers to loop devices has created a new IO
order completion dependency that XFS does not handle. The loop
device implements barriers using fsync and so turns a log IO in the
XFS filesystem on the loop device into a data IO in the backing
filesystem. That is, the completion of log IOs in the loop
filesystem are now dependent on completion of data IO in the backing
filesystem.
This can cause deadlocks when a flush daemon issues a log force with
an inode locked because the IO completion of IO on the inode is
blocked by the inode lock. This in turn prevents further data IO
completion from occuring on all XFS filesystems on that CPU (due to
the shared nature of the completion queues). This then prevents the
log IO from completing because the log is waiting for data IO
completion as well.
The fix for this new completion order dependency issue is to make
the IO completion inode locking non-blocking. If the inode lock
can't be grabbed, simply requeue the IO completion back to the work
queue so that it can be processed later. This prevents the
completion queue from being blocked and allows data IO completion on
other inodes to proceed, hence avoiding completion order dependent
deadlocks.

Currently the fsync file operation is divided into a low-level
routine doing all the work and one that implements the Linux file
operation and does minimal argument wrapping. This is a leftover
from the days of the vnode operations layer and can be removed to
simplify the code a bit, as well as preparing for the implementation
of an optimized fdatasync which needs to look at the Linux inode
state.

Currently the code to implement the file operations is split over
two small files. Merge the content of xfs_lrw.c into xfs_file.c to
have it in one place. Note that I haven't done various cleanups
that are possible after this yet, they will follow in the next
patch. Also the function xfs_dev_is_read_only which was in
xfs_lrw.c before really doesn't fit in here at all and was moved to
xfs_mount.c.

The be32_to_cpu in the TP_printk output breaks automatic parsing of
the trace format by the trace-cmd tools, so we have to move it into
the TP_assign block. While we're at it also fix the format for the

While doing some testing of readdir perf a while back,
I noticed that the buffer size we're using internally is
smaller than what glibc gives us by default. Upping this
size helped a bit, and seems safe.
glibc's __alloc_dir() does:
const size_t default_allocation = (4 * BUFSIZ < sizeof (struct dirent64)
? sizeof (struct dirent64) : 4 * BUFSIZ);
const size_t small_allocation = (BUFSIZ < sizeof (struct dirent64)
? sizeof (struct dirent64) : BUFSIZ);
size_t allocation = default_allocation;
#ifdef _STATBUF_ST_BLKSIZE
if (statp != NULL && default_allocation < statp->st_blksize)
allocation = statp->st_blksize;
#endif
and
#define _G_BUFSIZ 8192
#define _IO_BUFSIZ _G_BUFSIZ
# define BUFSIZ _IO_BUFSIZ
so the default buffer is 4 * 8192 = 32768
(except in the unlikely case of blocks > 32k....)

Traffic (tcp) doesnot start on a vlan interface when gro is enabled.
Even the tcp handshake was not taking place.
This is because, the eth_type_trans call before the netif_receive_skb
in napi_gro_finish() resets the skb->dev to napi->dev from the previously
set vlan netdev interface. This causes the ip_route_input to drop the
incoming packet considering it as a packet coming from a martian source.
I could repro this on 2.6.32.7 (stable) and 2.6.33-rc7.
With this fix, the traffic starts and the test runs fine on both vlan
and non-vlan interfaces.

The netif_wake_queue() is called correctly (i.e. only on !txfull
condition) from txdone routine. So Unconditional call to the
netif_wake_queue() here is wrong. This might cause calling of
start_xmit routine on txfull state and trigger BUG_ON.
This bug does not happen when NAPI disabled. After txdone there
must be at least one free tx slot. But with NAPI, this is not
true anymore and the BUG_ON can hits on heavy load.
In this driver NAPI was enabled on 2.6.33-rc1 so this is
regression from 2.6.32 kernel.

stack space expansion to rlimit") attempts to limit the initial stack to
20*PAGE_SIZE. Unfortunately, in attempting ensure the stack is not
reduced in size, we ended up not changing the stack at all.
This size reduction check is not necessary as the expand_stack call does
this already.
This caused a regression in UML resulting in most guest processes being

This is retry of reverted 859ddf09743a8cc680af33f7259ccd0fd36bfe9d
("idr: fix a critical misallocation bug") which contained two bugs.
* pa[idp->layers] should be cleared even if it's not used by
sub_alloc() because it's used by mark idr_mark_full().
* The original condition check also assigned pa[l] to p which the new
code didn't do thus leaving p pointing at the wrong layer.
Both problems have been fixed and the idr code has received good amount
testing using userland testing setup where simple bitmap allocator is
run parallel to verify the result of idr allocation.
The bug this patch fixes is caused by sub_alloc() optimization path
bypassing out-of-room condition check and restarting allocation loop
with starting value higher than maximum allowed value. For detailed
description, please read commit message of 859ddf09.

ACPI deep C-state entry had a long standing bug/missing feature, wherein we were sending
resched IPIs when an idle CPU is in mwait based deep C-state. Only mwait based C1 was using
the write to the monitored address to wake up mwait'ing CPU.
This patch changes the code to retain TS_POLLING bit if we are entering an mwait based
deep C-state.
The patch has been verified to reduce the number of resched IPIs in general and also
improves the performance/power on workloads with low system utilization (i.e., when mwait based
deep C-states are being used).
Fixes "netperf ~50% regression with 2.6.33-rc1, bisect to 1b9508f"
