Christoph Hellwig 510792ee29 xfs: optimize the negative xattr caching
Since the addition of file capabilities every write needs to read xattrs to
check if we have any capabilities to clear.  In Linux 3.0 Andi Kleen added
a flag to cache the fact that we do not have any attributes on an inode.
Make sure to already mark a file as not having any attributes when reading
it from disk in case it doesn't even have an attribute fork.  Based on an
earlier patch from Andi Kleen.

Christoph Hellwig d1166ec792 xfs: prevent against ioend livelocks in xfs_file_fsync
We need to take some locks to prevent new ioends from coming in when we wait
for all existing ones to go away.  Up to Linux 3.0 that was done using the
i_mutex held by the VFS fsync code, but now that we are called without
it we need to take care of it ourselves.  Use the I/O lock instead of
i_mutex just like we do in other places.

Christoph Hellwig 34951f5cb7 xfs: flag all buffers as metadata
Now that REQ_META bios aren't treated specially in the CFQ I/O schedule
anymore, we can tag all buffers as metadata to make blktrace traces more
meaningful.  Note that we use buffers also to zero out partial blocks
in the preallocation / hole punching code, and while they operate on
data blocks the zeros written certainly aren't data.  I think this case
is borderline metadata enough to not bother special casing it.

This moves logic for checking the cached ACL values from low-level
filesystems into generic code.  The end result is a streamlined ACL
check that doesn't need to load the inode->i_op->check_acl pointer at
all for the common cached case.

The filesystems also don't need to check for a non-blocking RCU walk
case in their acl_check() functions, because that is all handled at a
VFS layer.

Josef Bacik 02c24a8218 fs: push i_mutex and filemap_write_and_wait down into ->fsync() handlers
Btrfs needs to be able to control how filemap_write_and_wait_range() is called
in fsync to make it less of a painful operation, so push down taking i_mutex and
the calling of filemap_write_and_wait() down into the ->fsync() handlers.  Some
file systems can drop taking the i_mutex altogether it seems, like ext3 and
ocfs2.  For correctness sake I just pushed everything down in all cases to make
sure that we keep the current behavior the same for everybody, and then each
individual fs maintainer can make up their mind about what to do from there.

the actual move to the workqueue for ext4 and XFS is not done in

for XFS it's not needed yet either as XFS has an internal equivalent
to i_dio_count.

Convert the inode reclaim shrinker to use the new per-sb shrinker
operations. This allows much bigger reclaim batches to be used, and
allows the XFS inode cache to be shrunk in proportion with the VFS
dentry and inode caches. This avoids the problem of the VFS caches
being shrunk significantly before the XFS inode cache is shrunk
resulting in imbalances in the caches during reclaim.

J. Bruce Fields ad1a2c878c xfs: failure mapping nfs fh to inode should return ESTALE
On xfs exports, nfsd is incorrectly returning ENOENT instead of
ESTALE on attempts to use a filehandle of a deleted file (spotted
with pynfs test PUTFH3).  The ENOENT was coming from xfs_iget.

(It's tempting to wonder whether we should just map all xfs_iget
errors to ESTALE, but I don't believe so--xfs_iget can also return
ENOMEM at least, which we wouldn't want mapped to ESTALE.)

While we're at it, the other return of ENOENT in xfs_nfs_get_inode()
also looks wrong.

Christoph Hellwig 33b8f7c247 xfs: improve sync behaviour in the face of aggressive dirtying
The following script from Wu Fengguang shows very bad behaviour in XFS
when aggressively dirtying data during a sync on XFS, with sync times
up to almost 10 times as long as ext4.

A large part of the issue is that XFS writes data out itself two times
in the ->sync_fs method, overriding the livelock protection in the core
writeback code, and another issue is the lock-less xfs_ioend_wait call,
which doesn't prevent new ioend from being queue up while waiting for
the count to reach zero.

This patch removes the XFS-internal sync calls and relies on the VFS
to do it's work just like all other filesystems do.  Note that the
i_iocount wait which is rather suboptimal is simply removed here.
We already do it in ->write_inode, which keeps the current supoptimal
behaviour.  We'll eventually need to remove that as well, but that's
material for a separate commit.

Christoph Hellwig 8f04c47aa9 xfs: split xfs_itruncate_finish
Split the guts of xfs_itruncate_finish that loop over the existing extents
and calls xfs_bunmapi on them into a new helper, xfs_itruncate_externs.
Make xfs_attr_inactive call it directly instead of xfs_itruncate_finish,
which allows to simplify the latter a lot, by only letting it deal with
the data fork.  As a result xfs_itruncate_finish is renamed to
xfs_itruncate_data to make its use case more obvious.

Also remove the sync parameter from xfs_itruncate_data, which has been
unessecary since the introduction of the busy extent list in 2002, and
completely dead code since 2003 when the XFS_BMAPI_ASYNC parameter was
made a no-op.

I can't actually see why the xfs_attr_inactive needs to set the transaction
sync, but let's keep this patch simple and without changes in behaviour.

Also avoid passing a useless argument to xfs_isize_check, and make it
private to xfs_inode.c.
