If you mount -o space_cache, the option will be persistent across mounts, but to
make sure the user knows that they did this, emit a message telling them if they
didn't mount with -o space_cache but the feature is still used.

If something goes wrong with the free space cache we need a way to make sure
it's not loaded on mount and that it's cleared for everybody. When you pass the
clear_cache option it will make it so all block groups are setup to be cleared,
which keeps them from being loaded and then they will be truncated when the
transaction is committed. Thanks,

There are just a few things that need to be fixed in the kernel to support mixed
data+metadata block groups. Mostly we just need to make sure that if we are
using mixed block groups that we continue to allocate mixed block groups as we
need them. Also we need to make sure __find_space_info will find our space info
if we search for DATA or METADATA only. Tested this with xfstests and it works
nicely. Thanks,

With the free space disk caching we can mark the block group as started with the
caching, but we don't have a caching ctl. This can race with anybody else who
tries to get the caching ctl before we cache (this is very hard to do btw). So
instead check to see if cache->caching_ctl is set, and if not return NULL.
Thanks,

This patch actually loads the free space cache if it exists. The only thing
that really changes here is that we need to cache the block group if we're going
to remove an extent from it. Previously we did not do this since the caching
kthread would pick it up. With the on disk cache we don't have this luxury so
we need to make sure we read the on disk cache in first, and then remove the
extent, that way when the extent is unpinned the free space is added to the
block group. This has been tested with all sorts of things.

This is a simple bit, just dump the free space cache out to our preallocated
inode when we're writing out dirty block groups. There are a bunch of changes
in inode.c in order to account for special cases. Mostly when we're doing the
writeout we're holding trans_mutex, so we need to use the nolock transacation
functions. Also we can't do asynchronous completions since the async thread
could be blocked on already completed IO waiting for the transaction lock. This
has been tested with xfstests and btrfs filesystem balance, as well as my ENOSPC
tests. Thanks,

In order to save free space cache, we need an inode to hold the data, and we
need a special item to point at the right inode for the right block group. So
first, create a special item that will point to the right inode, and the number
of extent entries we will have and the number of bitmaps we will have. We
truncate and pre-allocate space everytime to make sure it's uptodate.
This feature will be turned on as soon as you mount with -o space_cache, however
it is safe to boot into old kernels, they will just generate the cache the old
fashion way. When you boot back into a newer kernel we will notice that we
modified and not the cache and automatically discard the cache.

Tony Luck reports that the addition of the access_ok() check in commit
0eead9ab41da ("Don't dump task struct in a.out core-dumps") broke the
ia64 compile due to missing the necessary header file includes.
Rather than add yet another include (<asm/unistd.h>) to make everything
happy, just uninline the silly core dump helper functions and move the
bodies to fs/exec.c where they make a lot more sense.
dump_seek() in particular was too big to be an inline function anyway,
and none of them are in any way performance-critical. And we really
don't need to mess up our include file headers more than they already
are.

akiphie points out that a.out core-dumps have that odd task struct
dumping that was never used and was never really a good idea (it goes
back into the mists of history, probably the original core-dumping
code). Just remove it.
Also do the access_ok() check on dump_write(). It probably doesn't
matter (since normal filesystems all seem to do it anyway), but he
points out that it's normally done by the VFS layer, so ...
[ I suspect that we should possibly do "vfs_write()" instead of
calling ->write directly. That also does the whole fsnotify and write
statistics thing, which may or may not be a good idea. ]
And just to be anal, do this all for the x86-64 32-bit a.out emulation
code too, even though it's not enabled (and won't currently even
compile)

This patch disables the fanotify syscalls by just not building them and
letting the cond_syscall() statements in kernel/sys_ni.c redirect them
to sys_ni_syscall().
It was pointed out by Tvrtko Ursulin that the fanotify interface did not
include an explicit prioritization between groups. This is necessary
for fanotify to be usable for hierarchical storage management software,
as they must get first access to the file, before inotify-like notifiers
see the file.
This feature can be added in an ABI compatible way in the next release
(by using a number of bits in the flags field to carry the info) but it
was suggested by Alan that maybe we should just hold off and do it in
the next cycle, likely with an (new) explicit argument to the syscall.
I don't like this approach best as I know people are already starting to
use the current interface, but Alan is all wise and noone on list backed
me up with just using what we have. I feel this is needlessly ripping
the rug out from under people at the last minute, but if others think it
needs to be a new argument it might be the best way forward.
Three choices:
Go with what we got (and implement the new feature next cycle). Add a
new field right now (and implement the new feature next cycle). Wait
till next cycle to release the ABI (and implement the new feature next
cycle). This is number 3.

If an MDS tries to revoke caps that we don't have, we want to send
releases early since they probably contain the caps message the MDS

Previously, we only sent the messages if we didn't have the inode either. But
in a multi-mds system we can retain the inode after dropping all caps for
a single MDS.

When marking an inode reclaimable, a per-AG counter is increased, the
inode is tagged reclaimable in its per-AG tree, and, when this is the
first reclaimable inode in the AG, the AG entry in the per-mount tree
is also tagged.
When an inode is finally reclaimed, however, it is only deleted from
the per-AG tree. Neither the counter is decreased, nor is the parent
tree's AG entry untagged properly.
Since the tags in the per-mount tree are not cleared, the inode
shrinker iterates over all AGs that have had reclaimable inodes at one
point in time.
The counters on the other hand signal an increasing amount of slab
objects to reclaim. Since "70e60ce xfs: convert inode shrinker to
per-filesystem context" this is not a real issue anymore because the
shrinker bails out after one iteration.
But the problem was observable on a machine running v2.6.34, where the
reclaimable work increased and each process going into direct reclaim
eventually got stuck on the xfs inode shrinking path, trying to scan
several million objects.
Fix this by properly unwinding the reclaimable-state tracking of an
inode when it is reclaimed.

fuse: Initialize total_len in fuse_retrieve()
|

We currently use struct backing_dev_info for various different purposes.
Originally it was introduced to describe a backing device which includes
an unplug and congestion function and various bits of readahead information
and VM-relevant flags. We're also using for tracking dirty inodes for
writeback.
To make writeback properly find all inodes we need to only access the
per-filesystem backing_device pointed to by the superblock in ->s_bdi
inside the writeback code, and not the instances pointeded to by
inode->i_mapping->backing_dev which can be overriden by special devices
or might not be set at all by some filesystems.
Long term we should split out the writeback-relevant bits of struct
backing_device_info (which includes more than the current bdi_writeback)
and only point to it from the superblock while leaving the traditional
backing device as a separate structure that can be overriden by devices.
The one exception for now is the block device filesystem which really
wants different writeback contexts for it's different (internal) inodes
to handle the writeout more efficiently. For now we do this with
a hack in fs-writeback.c because we're so late in the cycle, but in
the future I plan to replace this with a superblock method that allows
for multiple writeback contexts per filesystem.

cifs_reconnect_tcon is called from smb_init. After a successful
reconnect, cifs_reconnect_tcon will call reset_cifs_unix_caps. That
function will, in turn call CIFSSMBQFSUnixInfo and CIFSSMBSetFSUnixInfo.
Those functions also call smb_init.
It's possible for the session and tcon reconnect to succeed, and then
for another cifs_reconnect to occur before CIFSSMBQFSUnixInfo or
CIFSSMBSetFSUnixInfo to be called. That'll cause those functions to call
smb_init and cifs_reconnect_tcon again, ad infinitum...
Break the infinite recursion by having those functions use a new

introduced in a731d1 when removing vfs_follow_link()), we could walk off
the end of that string.

Testing on very recent kernel (2.6.36-rc6) made this warning pop:
WARNING: at fs/fs-writeback.c:87 inode_to_bdi+0x65/0x70()
Hardware name:
Dirtiable inode bdi default != sb bdi cifs
...the following patch fixes it and seems to be the obviously correct
thing to do for cifs.

I have been seeing occasional pauses in transaction throughput up to
30s long under heavy parallel workloads. The only notable thing was
that the xfsaild was trying to be active during the pauses, but
making no progress. It was running exactly 20 times a second (on the
50ms no-progress backoff), and the number of pushbuf events was
constant across this time as well. IOWs, the xfsaild appeared to be
stuck on buffers that it could not push out.
Further investigation indicated that it was trying to push out inode
buffers that were pinned and/or locked. The xfsbufd was also getting
woken at the same frequency (by the xfsaild, no doubt) to push out
delayed write buffers. The xfsbufd was not making any progress
because all the buffers in the delwri queue were pinned. This scan-
and-make-no-progress dance went one in the trace for some seconds,
before the xfssyncd came along an issued a log force, and then
things started going again.
However, I noticed something strange about the log force - there
were way too many IO's issued. 516 log buffers were written, to be
exact. That added up to 129MB of log IO, which got me very
interested because it's almost exactly 25% of the size of the log.
He delayed logging code is suppose to aggregate the minimum of 25%
of the log or 8MB worth of changes before flushing. That's what
really puzzled me - why did a log force write 129MB instead of only
8MB?
Essentially what has happened is that no CIL pushes had occurred
since the previous tail push which cleared out 25% of the log space.
That caused all the new transactions to block because there wasn't
log space for them, but they kick the xfsaild to push the tail.
However, the xfsaild was not making progress because there were
buffers it could not lock and flush, and the xfsbufd could not flush
them because they were pinned. As a result, both the xfsaild and the
xfsbufd could not move the tail of the log forward without the CIL
first committing.
The cause of the problem was that the background CIL push, which
should happen when 8MB of aggregated changes have been committed, is
being held off by the concurrent transaction commit load. The
background push does a down_write_trylock() which will fail if there
is a concurrent transaction commit holding the push lock in read
mode. With 8 CPUs all doing transactions as fast as they can, there
was enough concurrent transaction commits to hold off the background
push until tail-pushing could no longer free log space, and the halt
would occur.
It should be noted that there is no reason why it would halt at 25%
of log space used by a single CIL checkpoint. This bug could
definitely violate the "no transaction should be larger than half
the log" requirement and hence result in corruption if the system
crashed under heavy load. This sort of bug is exactly the reason why
delayed logging was tagged as experimental....
The fix is to start blocking background pushes once the threshold
has been exceeded. Rework the threshold calculations to keep the
amount of log space a CIL checkpoint can use to below that of the
AIL push threshold to avoid the problem completely.

While umounting, a block mle doesn't get freed if dlm is shutdown after
master request is received but before assert master. This results in unclean
shutdown of dlm domain.
This patch frees all mles that lie around after other nodes were notified about
exiting the dlm and marking dlm state as leaving. Only block mles are expected
to be around, so we log ERROR for other mles but still free them.

We sync our inode flags with ext2 and define them by hex
values. But actually in commit 3669567(4 years ago), all
these values are moved to include/linux/fs.h. So we'd
better also use them as what ext2 did. So sync our inode
flags with ext2 by using FS_*.

The first time I read the function ocfs2_resmap_resv_bits, I consider
about what 'wanted' will be used and consider about the comments.
Then I find it is only used if the reservation is empty. ;)
So we'd better move it to the parens so that it make the code more
readable, what's more, ocfs2_resmap_resv_bits is used so frequently
and we should save some cpus.

Currently, /proc/<pid>/smaps has wrong dirty pages accounting.
Shared_Dirty and Private_Dirty output only pte dirty pages and ignore
PG_dirty page flag. It is difference against documentation, but also
inconsistent against Referenced field. (Referenced checks both pte and
page flags)
This patch fixes it.
Test program:
large-array.c
---------------------------------------------------
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <unistd.h>
char array[1*1024*1024*1024L];
int main(void)
{
memset(array, 1, sizeof(array));
pause();
return 0;
}
---------------------------------------------------
Test case:
1. run ./large-array
2. cat /proc/`pidof large-array`/smaps
3. swapoff -a

OCFS2 can return ERESTARTSYS from its write function when the process is
signalled while waiting for a cluster lock (and the filesystem is mounted
with intr mount option). Generally, it seems reasonable to allow
filesystems to return this error code from its IO functions. As we must
not leak ERESTARTSYS (and similar error codes) to userspace as a result of
an AIO operation, we have to properly convert it to EINTR inside AIO code
(restarting the syscall isn't really an option because other AIO could
have been already submitted by the same io_submit syscall).

Commit 73296bc611 ("procfs: Use generic_file_llseek in /proc/vmcore")
broke seeking on /proc/vmcore. This changes it back to use default_llseek
in order to restore the original behaviour.
The problem with generic_file_llseek is that it only allows seeks up to
inode->i_sb->s_maxbytes, which is zero on procfs and some other virtual
file systems. We should merge generic_file_llseek and default_llseek some
day and clean this up in a proper way, but for 2.6.35/36, reverting vmcore
is the safer solution.

In 32-bit compatibility mode, the error handling for
compat_do_readv_writev() may free an uninitialized pointer, potentially
leading to all sorts of ugly memory corruption. This is reliably
triggerable by unprivileged users by invoking the readv()/writev()
syscalls with an invalid iovec pointer. The below patch fixes this to
emulate the non-compat version.

Inodes of devices such as /dev/zero can get dirty for example via
utime(2) syscall or due to atime update. Backing device of such inodes
(zero_bdi, etc.) is however unable to handle dirty inodes and thus
__mark_inode_dirty complains. In fact, inode should be rather dirtied
against backing device of the filesystem holding it. This is generally a
good rule except for filesystems such as 'bdev' or 'mtd_inodefs'. Inodes
in these pseudofilesystems are referenced from ordinary filesystem
inodes and carry mapping with real data of the device. Thus for these
inodes we have to use inode->i_mapping->backing_dev_info as we did so
far. We distinguish these filesystems by checking whether sb->s_bdi
points to a non-trivial backing device or not.
Example: Assume we have an ext3 filesystem on /dev/sda1 mounted on /.
There's a device inode A described by a path "/dev/sdb" on this
filesystem. This inode will be dirtied against backing device "8:0"
after this patch. bdev filesystem contains block device inode B coupled
with our inode A. When someone modifies a page of /dev/sdb, it's B that
gets dirtied and the dirtying happens against the backing device "8:16".
Thus both inodes get filed to a correct bdi list.

These devices don't do any writeback but their device inodes still can get
dirty so mark bdi appropriately so that bdi code does the right thing and files
inodes to lists of bdi carrying the device inodes.
