Dave Chinner e43afd72d2 xfs: block callers of xfs_flush_inodes() correctly
xfs_flush_inodes() currently uses a magic timeout to wait for
some inodes to be flushed before returning. This isn't
really reliable but used to be the best that could be done
due to deadlock potential of waiting for the entire flush.

Now the inode flush is safe to execute while we hold page
and inode locks, we can wait for all the inodes to flush
synchronously. Convert the wait mechanism to a completion
to do this efficiently. This should remove all remaining
spurious ENOSPC errors from the delayed allocation reservation
path.

This is extracted almost line for line from a larger patch
from Mikulas Patocka.

Dave Chinner 5825294edd xfs: make inode flush at ENOSPC synchronous
When we are writing to a single file and hit ENOSPC, we trigger a background
flush of the inode and try again.  Because we hold page locks and the iolock,
the flush won't proceed until after we release these locks. This occurs once
we've given up and ENOSPC has been reported. Hence if this one is the only
dirty inode in the system, we'll get an ENOSPC prematurely.

To fix this, remove the async flush from the allocation routines and move
it to the top of the write path where we can do a synchronous flush
and retry the write again. Only retry once as a second ENOSPC indicates
that we really are ENOSPC.

This avoids a page cache deadlock when trying to do this flush synchronously
in the allocation layer that was identified by Mikulas Patocka.

Dave Chinner a8d770d987 xfs: use xfs_sync_inodes() for device flushing
Currently xfs_device_flush calls sync_blockdev() which is
a no-op for XFS as all it's metadata is held in a different
address to the one sync_blockdev() works on.

Call xfs_sync_inodes() instead to flush all the delayed
allocation blocks out. To do this as efficiently as possible,
do it via two passes - one to do an async flush of all the
dirty blocks and a second to wait for all the IO to complete.
This requires some modification to the xfs-sync_inodes_ag()
flush code to do efficiently.

Dave Chinner c626d174cf xfs: prevent unwritten extent conversion from blocking I/O completion
Unwritten extent conversion can recurse back into the filesystem due
to memory allocation. Memory reclaim requires I/O completions to be
processed to allow the callers to make progress. If the I/O
completion workqueue thread is doing the recursion, then we have a
deadlock situation.

Move unwritten extent completion into it's own workqueue so it
doesn't block I/O completions for normal delayed allocation or
overwrite data.

Nick Piggin c2ec175c39 mm: page_mkwrite change prototype to match fault
Change the page_mkwrite prototype to take a struct vm_fault, and return
VM_FAULT_xxx flags.  There should be no functional change.

This makes it possible to return much more detailed error information to
the VM (and also can provide more information eg.  virtual_address to the
driver, which might be important in some special cases).

This is required for a subsequent fix.  And will also make it easier to
merge page_mkwrite() with fault() in future.

Hisashi Hifumi bddaafa11a xfs: pagecache usage optimization
Hi.

I introduced "is_partially_uptodate" aops for XFS.

A page can have multiple buffers and even if a page is not uptodate,
some buffers can be uptodate on pagesize != blocksize environment.

This aops checks that all buffers which correspond to a part of a file
that we want to read are uptodate. If so, we do not have to issue actual
read IO to HDD even if a page is not uptodate because the portion we
want to read are uptodate.

"block_is_partially_uptodate" function is already used by ext2/3/4.
With the following patch random read/write mixed workloads or random read
after random write workloads can be optimized and we can get performance
improvement.

I did a performance test using the sysbench.

#sysbench --num-threads=4 --max-requests=100000 --test=fileio --file-num=1 \

Takashi Sato c4be0c1dc4 filesystem freeze: add error handling of write_super_lockfs/unlockfs
Currently, ext3 in mainline Linux doesn't have the freeze feature which
suspends write requests.  So, we cannot take a backup which keeps the
filesystem's consistency with the storage device's features (snapshot and
replication) while it is mounted.

In many case, a commercial filesystem (e.g.  VxFS) has the freeze feature
and it would be used to get the consistent backup.

If Linux's standard filesystem ext3 has the freeze feature, we can do it
without a commercial filesystem.

So I have implemented the ioctls of the freeze feature.
I think we can take the consistent backup with the following steps.
1. Freeze the filesystem with the freeze ioctl.
2. Separate the replication volume or create the snapshot
   with the storage device's feature.
3. Unfreeze the filesystem with the unfreeze ioctl.
4. Take the backup from the separated replication volume
   or the snapshot.

This patch:

VFS:
Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void"
to "int" so that they can return an error.
Rename write_super_lockfs and unlockfs of the super block operation
freeze_fs and unfreeze_fs to avoid a confusion.

ext3, ext4, xfs, gfs2, jfs:
Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void"
to "int" so that write_super_lockfs returns an error if needed,
and unlockfs always returns 0.

reiserfs:
Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void"
to "int" so that they always return 0 (success) to keep a current behavior.

Implement XFS's large buffer support with the new vmap APIs. See the vmap
rewrite (db64fe02) for some numbers. The biggest improvement that comes from
using the new APIs is avoiding the global KVA allocation lock on every call.

Nick Piggin 958f8c0e4f [XFS] remove old vmap cache
XFS's vmap batching simply defers a number (up to 64) of vunmaps, and keeps
track of them in a list. To purge the batch, it just goes through the list and
calls vunamp on each one. This is pretty poor: a global TLB flush is generally
still performed on each vunmap, with the most expensive parts of the operation
being the broadcast IPIs and locking involved in the SMP callouts, and the
locking involved in the vmap management -- none of these are avoided by just
batching up the calls. I'm actually surprised it ever made much difference.
(Now that the lazy vmap allocator is upstream, this description is not quite
right, but the vunmap batching still doesn't seem to do much)

Rip all this logic out of XFS completely. I will improve vmap performance
and scalability directly in subsequent patch.

Christoph Hellwig c9a98553d5 [XFS] pass XFS_IGET_BULKSTAT to xfs_iget for handle operations
NFS clients or users of the handle ioctls can pass us arbitrary inode
numbers through the exportfs interface.  Make sure we use the
XFS_IGET_BULKSTAT so that these don't cause shutdowns due to the corruption
checks.  Also translate the EINVAL we get back for invalid inode clusters
into an ESTALE which is more appropinquate, and remove the useless check
for a NULL inode on a successfull xfs_iget return.

I have a testcase to reproduce this using the handle interface which
I will submit to xfsqa.
