Create a helper function to check if a backing device requires stable
page writes and, if so, performs the necessary wait. Then, make it so
that all points in the memory manager that handle making pages writable
use the helper function. This should provide stable page write support
to most filesystems, while eliminating unnecessary waiting for devices
that don't require the feature.
Before this patchset, all filesystems would block, regardless of whether
or not it was necessary. ext3 would wait, but still generate occasional
checksum errors. The network filesystems were left to do their own
thing, so they'd wait too.
After this patchset, all the disk filesystems except ext3 and btrfs will
wait only if the hardware requires it. ext3 (if necessary) snapshots
pages instead of blocking, and btrfs provides its own bdi so the mm will
never wait. Network filesystems haven't been touched, so either they
provide their own stable page guarantees or they don't block at all.
The blocking behavior is back to what it was before 3.0 if you don't
have a disk requiring stable page writes.
Here's the result of using dbench to test latency on ext2:
3.8.0-rc3:
Operation Count AvgLat MaxLat
----------------------------------------
WriteX 109347 0.028 59.817
ReadX 347180 0.004 3.391
Flush 15514 29.828 287.283
Throughput 57.429 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=287.290 ms
3.8.0-rc3 + patches:
WriteX 105556 0.029 4.273
ReadX 335004 0.005 4.112
Flush 14982 30.540 298.634
Throughput 55.4496 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=298.650 ms
As you can see, the maximum write latency drops considerably with this
patch enabled. The other filesystems (ext3/ext4/xfs/btrfs) behave
similarly, but see the cover letter for those results.

The intent here is to split the processing of the glock lru
list into two parts, so that the selection of glocks and the
disposal are separate functions. The plan is then, that further
updates can then be made to these functions in the future
to improve the selection of glocks and also the efficiency of
glock disposal.
The new feature which this patch brings is sorting the
glocks to be disposed of into glock number (and thus also
disk block number) order. Not all glocks will need i/o in
order to dispose of them, but some will, and at least we'll
generate mostly disk block order i/o now.

Instead of using a list of buffers to write ahead of the journal
flush, this now uses a list of inodes and calls ->writepages
via filemap_fdatawrite() in order to achieve the same thing. For
most use cases this results in a shorter ordered write list,
as well as much larger i/os being issued.
The ordered write list is sorted by inode number before writing
in order to retain the disk block ordering between inodes as
per the previous code.
The previous ordered write code used to conflict in its assumptions
about how to write out the disk blocks with mpage_writepages()
so that with this updated version we can also use mpage_writepages()
for GFS2's ordered write, writepages implementation. So we will
also send larger i/os from writeback too.

The freeze code has not been looked at a lot recently. Upstream has
moved on, and this is an attempt to catch us back up again. There
is a vfs level interface for the freeze code which can be called
from our (obsolete, but kept for backward compatibility purposes)
sysfs freeze interface. This means freezing this way vs. doing it
from the ioctl should now work in identical fashion.
As a result of this, the freeze function is only called once
and we can drop our own special purpose code for counting the
number of freezes.

The locking in gfs2_attach_bufdata() was type specific (data/meta)
which made the function rather confusing. This patch moves the core
of gfs2_attach_bufdata() into trans.c renaming it gfs2_alloc_bufdata()
and moving the locking into gfs2_trans_add_data()/gfs2_trans_add_meta()
As a result all of the locking related to adding data and metadata to
the journal is now in these two functions. This should help to clarify
what is going on, and give us some opportunities to simplify in
some cases.

This patch copies the body of gfs2_trans_add_bh into the two newly
added gfs2_trans_add_data and gfs2_trans_add_meta functions. We can
then move the .lo_add functions from lops.c into trans.c and call
them directly.
As a result of this, we no longer need to use the .lo_add functions
at all, so that is removed from the log operations structure.

There is little common content in gfs2_trans_add_bh() between the data
and meta classes by the time that the functions which it calls are
taken into account. The intent here is to split this into two
separate functions. Stage one is to introduce gfs2_trans_add_data()
and gfs2_trans_add_meta() and update the callers accordingly.
Later patches will then pull in the content of gfs2_trans_add_bh()
and its dependent functions in order to clean up the code in this
area.

In function rg_mblk_search, it's searching for multiple blocks in
a given state (e.g. "free"). If there's an active block reservation
its goal is the next free block of that. If the resource group
contains the dinode's goal block, that's used for the search. But
if neither is the case, it uses the rgrp's last allocated block.
That way, consecutive allocations appear after one another on media.
The problem comes in when you hit the end of the rgrp; it would never
start over and search from the beginning. This became a problem,
since if you deleted all the files and data from the rgrp, it would
never start over and find free blocks. So it had to keep searching
further out on the media to allocate blocks. This patch resets the
rd_last_alloc after it does an unsuccessful search at the end of
the rgrp.

QE aio tests uncovered a race condition in gfs2_rs_alloc where it's possible
to come out of the function with a valid ip->i_res allocation but it gets

Pull GFS2 updates from Steven Whitehouse:
"The main feature this time is the new Orlov allocator and the patches
leading up to it which allow us to allocate new inodes from their own
allocation context, rather than borrowing that of their parent
directory. It is this change which then allows us to choose a
different location for subdirectories when required. This works
exactly as per the ext3 implementation from the users point of view.
In addition to that, we've got a speed up in gfs2_rbm_from_block()
from Bob Peterson, three locking related improvements from Dave
Teigland plus a selection of smaller bug fixes and clean ups."

Overhaul struct address_space.assoc_mapping renaming it to
address_space.private_data and its type is redefined to void*. By this
approach we consistently name the .private_* elements from struct
address_space as well as allow extended usage for address_space

Also, all users of old ->assoc_mapping element are converted to reflect
its new name and type change (->private_data).

This patch fixes a cluster coherency problem that occurs when one
node creates a file, does several writes, then a different node
tries to write to the same file. When the inode's glock is demoted,
the inode wasn't synced to the media properly because the gl_object
wasn't set. Later, the flush daemon noticed the uncommitted data
and tried to flush it, only to discover the glock was no longer locked
properly in exclusive mode. That caused an assert withdraw.

When unmounting, gfs2 does a full dlm_unlock operation on every
cached lock. This can create a very large amount of work and can
take a long time to complete. However, the vast majority of these
dlm unlock operations are unnecessary because after all the unlocks
are done, gfs2 leaves the dlm lockspace, which automatically clears
the locks of the leaving node, without unlocking each one individually.
So, gfs2 can skip explicit dlm unlocks, and use dlm_release_lockspace to
remove the locks implicitly. The one exception is when the lock's lvb is
being used. In this case, dlm_unlock is called because it may update the
lvb of the resource.

Just like ext3, this works on the root directory and any directory
with the +T flag set. Also, just like ext3, any subdirectory created
in one of the just mentioned cases will be allocated to a random
resource group (GFS2 equivalent of a block group).
If you are creating a set of directories, each of which will contain a
job running on a different node, then by setting +T on the parent
directory before creating the subdirectories, each will land up in a
different resource group, and thus resource group contention between
nodes will be kept to a minimum.

Rather than using the parent directory's allocation context, this
patch allocated the new inode earlier in the process and then uses
it to contain all the information required. As a result, we can now
use the new inode's own allocation context to allocate it rather
than having to use the parent directory's context. This give us a
lot more flexibility in where the inode is placed on disk.

This patch uses information gathered by the recent glock statistics
patch in order to derrive a boolean verdict on the congestion
status of a resource group. This is then used when making decisions
on which resource group to choose during block allocation.
The aim is to avoid resource groups which are heavily contended
by other nodes, while still ensuring locality of access wherever
possible.
Once a reservation has been made in a particular resource group
we continue to use that resource group until a new reservation is
required. This should help to ensure that we do not change resource
groups too often.

In gfs2_trans_add_bh(), gfs2 was testing if a there was a bd attached to the
buffer without having the gfs2_log_lock held. It was then assuming it would
stay attached for the rest of the function. However, without either the log
lock being held of the buffer locked, __gfs2_ail_flush() could detach bd at any
time. This patch moves the locking before the test. If there isn't a bd
already attached, gfs2 can safely allocate one and attach it before locking.
There is no way that the newly allocated bd could be on the ail list,
and thus no way for __gfs2_ail_flush() to detach it.

file_accessed() was being called by gfs2_mmap() with a shared glock. If it
needed to update the atime, it was crashing because it dirtied the inode in
gfs2_dirty_inode() without holding an exclusive lock. gfs2_dirty_inode()
checked if the caller was already holding a glock, but it didn't make sure that
the glock was in the exclusive state. Now, instead of calling file_accessed()
while holding the shared lock in gfs2_mmap(), file_accessed() is called after
grabbing and releasing the glock to update the inode. If file_accessed() needs
to update the atime, it will grab an exclusive lock in gfs2_dirty_inode().
gfs2_dirty_inode() now also checks to make sure that if the calling process has
already locked the glock, it has an exclusive lock.

Pull user namespace changes from Eric Biederman:
"This is a mostly modest set of changes to enable basic user namespace
support. This allows the code to code to compile with user namespaces
enabled and removes the assumption there is only the initial user
namespace. Everything is converted except for the most complex of the
filesystems: autofs4, 9p, afs, ceph, cifs, coda, fuse, gfs2, ncpfs,
nfs, ocfs2 and xfs as those patches need a bit more review.
The strategy is to push kuid_t and kgid_t values are far down into
subsystems and filesystems as reasonable. Leaving the make_kuid and
from_kuid operations to happen at the edge of userspace, as the values
come off the disk, and as the values come in from the network.
Letting compile type incompatible compile errors (present when user
namespaces are enabled) guide me to find the issues.
The most tricky areas have been the places where we had an implicit
union of uid and gid values and were storing them in an unsigned int.
Those places were converted into explicit unions. I made certain to
handle those places with simple trivial patches.
Out of that work I discovered we have generic interfaces for storing
quota by projid. I had never heard of the project identifiers before.
Adding full user namespace support for project identifiers accounts
for most of the code size growth in my git tree.
Ultimately there will be work to relax privlige checks from
"capable(FOO)" to "ns_capable(user_ns, FOO)" where it is safe allowing
root in a user names to do those things that today we only forbid to
non-root users because it will confuse suid root applications.
While I was pushing kuid_t and kgid_t changes deep into the audit code
I made a few other cleanups. I capitalized on the fact we process
netlink messages in the context of the message sender. I removed
usage of NETLINK_CRED, and started directly using current->tty.
Some of these patches have also made it into maintainer trees, with no
problems from identical code from different trees showing up in
linux-next.
After reading through all of this code I feel like I might be able to
win a game of kernel trivial pursuit."
Fix up some fairly trivial conflicts in netfilter uid/git logging code.

Pull workqueue changes from Tejun Heo:
"This is workqueue updates for v3.7-rc1. A lot of activities this
round including considerable API and behavior cleanups.
* delayed_work combines a timer and a work item. The handling of the
timer part has always been a bit clunky leading to confusing
cancelation API with weird corner-case behaviors. delayed_work is
updated to use new IRQ safe timer and cancelation now works as
expected.
* Another deficiency of delayed_work was lack of the counterpart of
mod_timer() which led to cancel+queue combinations or open-coded
timer+work usages. mod_delayed_work[_on]() are added.
These two delayed_work changes make delayed_work provide interface
and behave like timer which is executed with process context.
* A work item could be executed concurrently on multiple CPUs, which
is rather unintuitive and made flush_work() behavior confusing and
half-broken under certain circumstances. This problem doesn't
exist for non-reentrant workqueues. While non-reentrancy check
isn't free, the overhead is incurred only when a work item bounces
across different CPUs and even in simulated pathological scenario
the overhead isn't too high.
All workqueues are made non-reentrant. This removes the
distinction between flush_[delayed_]work() and
flush_[delayed_]_work_sync(). The former is now as strong as the
latter and the specified work item is guaranteed to have finished
execution of any previous queueing on return.
* In addition to the various bug fixes, Lai redid and simplified CPU
hotplug handling significantly.
* Joonsoo introduced system_highpri_wq and used it during CPU
hotplug.
There are two merge commits - one to pull in IRQ safe timer from
tip/timers/core and the other to pull in CPU hotplug fixes from
wq/for-3.6-fixes as Lai's hotplug restructuring depended on them."
Fixed a number of trivial conflicts, but the more interesting conflicts
were silent ones where the deprecated interfaces had been used by new
code in the merge window, and thus didn't cause any real data conflicts.
Tejun pointed out a few of them, I fixed a couple more.

If a dirty GFS2 inode was being deleted but was in use by another node, its
metadata was not getting written out before GFS2 checked for dirty buffers in
gfs2_ail_flush(). GFS2 was relying on inode_go_sync() to write out the
metadata when the other node tried to free the file, but it failed the error
check before it got that far. This patch writes out the metadata before calling
gfs2_ail_flush()

gfs2_ail_empty_gl() contains an "inline version" of gfs2_trans_begin(),
so it needs an explicit sb_start_intwrite() as well, to balance the
sb_end_intwrite() which will be called by gfs2_trans_end().
With this, xfstest 068 passes on lock_nolock local gfs2.
Without it, we reach a writer count of -1 and get stuck.

This patch fixes an infinite loop in gfs2_rbm_find that was introduced
by the previous patch. The problem occurred when the length was less
than 3 but the rbm block was byte-aligned, causing it to improperly
return a extent length of zero, which caused it to spin.

With the recently added block reservation code, an additional function
was added to search for free blocks. This had a restriction of only being
able to search for aligned extents of free blocks. As a result the
allocation patterns when reserving blocks were suboptimal when the
existing allocation of blocks for an inode was not aligned to the same
boundary.
This patch resolves that problem by adding the ability for gfs2_rbm_find
to search for extents of a particular minimum size. We can then use
gfs2_rbm_find for both looking for reservations, and also looking for
free blocks on an individual basis when we actually come to do the
allocation later on. As a result we only need a single set of code
to deal with both situations.
The function gfs2_rbm_from_block() is moved up rgrp.c so that it
occurs before all of its callers.
Many thanks are due to Bob for helping track down the final issue in
this patch. That fix to the rb_tree traversal and to not share
block reservations from a dirctory to its children is included here.
