a2a9537ac0 Get rid of pdflush_operation() in emergency sync and remount
Opencode a cheasy approach with kevent. The idea here is that we'll
add some generic delayed work infrastructure, which probably wont be
based on pdflush (or maybe it will, in which case we can just add it
back).

This is in preparation for getting rid of pdflush completely.

6673e0c3fb [CVE-2009-0029] System call wrapper special cases
System calls with an unsigned long long argument can't be converted with
the standard wrappers since that would include a cast to long, which in
turn means that we would lose the upper 32 bit on 32 bit architectures.
Also semctl can't use the standard wrapper since it has a 'union'
parameter.

So we handle them as special case and add some extra wrappers instead.

ee53a891f4 mm: do_sync_mapping_range integrity fix
Chris Mason notices do_sync_mapping_range didn't actually ask for data
integrity writeout.  Unfortunately, it is advertised as being usable for
data integrity operations.

This is a data integrity bug.

4c728ef583 add a vfs_fsync helper
Fsync currently has a fdatawrite/fdatawait pair around the method call,
and a mutex_lock/unlock of the inode mutex.  All callers of fsync have
to duplicate this, but we have a few and most of them don't quite get
it right.  This patch adds a new vfs_fsync that takes care of this.
It's a little more complicated as usual as ->fsync might get a NULL file
pointer and just a dentry from nfsd, but otherwise gets afile and we
want to take the mapping and file operations from it when it is there.

Notes on the fsync callers:

 - ecryptfs wasn't calling filemap_fdatawrite / filemap_fdatawait on the
   	lower file
 - coda wasn't calling filemap_fdatawrite / filemap_fdatawait on the host
	file, and returning 0 when ->fsync was missing
 - shm wasn't calling either filemap_fdatawrite / filemap_fdatawait nor
   taking i_mutex.  Now given that shared memory doesn't have disk
   backing not doing anything in fsync seems fine and I left it out of
   the vfs_fsync conversion for now, but in that case we might just
   not pass it through to the lower file at all but just call the no-op
   simple_sync_file directly.

[and now actually export vfs_fsync]

edd5cd4a94 Introduce fixed sys_sync_file_range2() syscall, implement on PowerPC and ARM
Not all the world is an i386.  Many architectures need 64-bit arguments to be
aligned in suitable pairs of registers, and the original
sys_sync_file_range(int, loff_t, loff_t, int) was therefore wasting an
argument register for padding after the first integer.  Since we don't
normally have more than 6 arguments for system calls, that left no room for
the final argument on some architectures.

Fix this by introducing sys_sync_file_range2(int, int, loff_t, loff_t) which
all fits nicely.  In fact, ARM already had that, but called it
sys_arm_sync_file_range.  Move it to fs/sync.c and rename it, then implement
the needed compatibility routine.  And stop the missing syscall check from
bitching about the absence of sys_sync_file_range() if we've implemented
sys_sync_file_range2() instead.

Tested on PPC32 and with 32-bit and 64-bit userspace on PPC64.

5b04aa3a64 [PATCH] Turn do_sync_file_range() into do_sync_mapping_range()
do_sync_file_range() accepts a file * from which it takes an address_space to
sync.  Abstract out the bulk of the function into do_sync_mapping_range()
which takes the address_space directly.  This way callers who want to sync an
address_space directly can take advantage of the functionality provided.

do_sync_file_range() is preserved as a small wrapper around
do_sync_mapping_range().

Ocfs2 in particular would like to use this to initiate a sync of a specific
inode range during truncate, where a file * may not be available.

This patch changes struct file to use struct path instead of having
independent pointers to struct dentry and struct vfsmount, and converts all
users of f_{dentry,vfsmnt} in fs/ to use f_path.{dentry,mnt}.

Additionally, it adds two #define's to make the transition easier for users of
the f_dentry and f_vfsmnt.

cf9a2ae8d4 [PATCH] BLOCK: Move functions out of buffer code [try #6]
Move some functions out of the buffering code that aren't strictly buffering
specific.  This is a precursor to being able to disable the block layer.

 (*) Moved some stuff out of fs/buffer.c:

     (*) The file sync and general sync stuff moved to fs/sync.c.

     (*) The superblock sync stuff moved to fs/super.c.

     (*) do_invalidatepage() moved to mm/truncate.c.

     (*) try_to_release_page() moved to mm/filemap.c.

 (*) Moved some related declarations between header files:

     (*) declarations for do_invalidatepage() and try_to_release_page() moved
     	 to linux/mm.h.

     (*) __set_page_dirty_buffers() moved to linux/buffer_head.h.

111ebb6e6f [PATCH] writeback: fix range handling
When a writeback_control's `start' and `end' fields are used to
indicate a one-byte-range starting at file offset zero, the required
values of .start=0,.end=0 mean that the ->writepages() implementation
has no way of telling that it is being asked to perform a range
request.  Because we're currently overloading (start == 0 && end == 0)
to mean "this is not a write-a-range request".

To make all this sane, the patch changes range of writeback_control.

So caller does: If it is calling ->writepages() to write pages, it
sets range (range_start/end or range_cyclic) always.

And if range_cyclic is true, ->writepages() thinks the range is
cyclic, otherwise it just uses range_start and range_end.

This patch does,

    - Add LLONG_MAX, LLONG_MIN, ULLONG_MAX to include/linux/kernel.h
      -1 is usually ok for range_end (type is long long). But, if someone did,

		range_end += val;		range_end is "val - 1"
		u64val = range_end >> bits;	u64val is "~(0ULL)"

      or something, they are wrong. So, this adds LLONG_MAX to avoid nasty
      things, and uses LLONG_MAX for range_end.

    - All callers of ->writepages() sets range_start/end or range_cyclic.

    - Fix updates of ->writeback_index. It seems already bit strange.
      If it starts at 0 and ended by check of nr_to_write, this last
      index may reduce chance to scan end of file.  So, this updates
      ->writeback_index only if range_cyclic is true or whole-file is
      scanned.

f79e2abb9b [PATCH] sys_sync_file_range()
Remove the recently-added LINUX_FADV_ASYNC_WRITE and LINUX_FADV_WRITE_WAIT
fadvise() additions, do it in a new sys_sync_file_range() syscall instead.
Reasons:

- It's more flexible.  Things which would require two or three syscalls with
  fadvise() can be done in a single syscall.

- Using fadvise() in this manner is something not covered by POSIX.

The patch wires up the syscall for x86.

The sycall is implemented in the new fs/sync.c.  The intention is that we can
move sys_fsync(), sys_fdatasync() and perhaps sys_sync() into there later.

Documentation for the syscall is in fs/sync.c.

A test app (sync_file_range.c) is in
http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/ext3-tools.tar.gz.

The available-to-GPL-modules do_sync_file_range() is for knfsd: "A COMMIT can
say NFS_DATA_SYNC or NFS_FILE_SYNC.  I can skip the ->fsync call for
NFS_DATA_SYNC which is hopefully the more common."

Note: the `async' writeout mode SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE will turn synchronous if
the queue is congested.  This is trivial to fix: add a new flag bit, set
wbc->nonblocking.  But I'm not sure that we want to expose implementation
details down to that level.

Note: it's notable that we can sync an fd which wasn't opened for writing.
Same with fsync() and fdatasync()).

Note: the code takes some care to handle attempts to sync file contents
outside the 16TB offset on 32-bit machines.  It makes such attempts appear to
succeed, for best 32-bit/64-bit compatibility.  Perhaps it should make such
requests fail...
