9e80d40773 ext3: Avoid starting a transaction in writepage when not necessary
We don't have to start a transaction in writepage() when all the blocks
are a properly allocated. Even in ordered mode either the data has been
written via write() and they are thus already added to transaction's list
or the data was written via mmap and then it's random in which transaction
they get written anyway.

This should help VM to pageout dirty memory without blocking on transaction
commits.

b44b0ab3ba [S390] dasd: add large volume support
The dasd device driver will now support ECKD devices with more then
65520 cylinders.
In the traditional ECKD adressing scheme each track is addressed
by a 16-bit cylinder and 16-bit head number. The new addressing
scheme makes use of the fact that the actual number of heads is
never larger then 15, so 12 bits of the head number can be redefined
to be part of the cylinder address.

095160aee9 sysfs: fix some bin_vm_ops errors
Commit 86c9508eb1c0ce5aa07b5cf1d36b60c54efc3d7a
"sysfs: don't block indefinitely for unmapped files" in linux-next
crashes the PowerMac G5 when X starts up.  It's caught out by the way
powerpc's pci_mmap of legacy_mem uses shmem_zero_setup(), substituting
a new vma->vm_file whose private_data no longer points to the bin_buffer
(substitution done because some versions of X crash if that mmap fails).

The fix to this is straightforward: the original vm_file is fput() in
that case, so this mmap won't block sysfs at all, so just don't switch
over to bin_vm_ops if vm_file has changed.

But more fixes made before realizing that was the problem:-

It should not be an error if bin_page_mkwrite() finds no underlying
page_mkwrite().

Check that a file already mmap'ed has the same underlying vm_ops
_before_ pointing vma->vm_ops at bin_vm_ops.

If the file being mmap'ed is a shmem/tmpfs file, don't fail the mmap
on CONFIG_NUMA=y, just because that has a set_policy and get_policy:
provide bin_set_policy, bin_get_policy and bin_migrate.

669420644c sysfs: only allow one scheduled removal callback per kobj
The only way for a sysfs attribute to remove itself (without
deadlock) is to use the sysfs_schedule_callback() interface.

Vegard Nossum discovered that a poorly written sysfs ->store
callback can repeatedly schedule remove callbacks on the same
device over and over, e.g.

	$ while true ; do echo 1 > /sys/devices/.../remove ; done

If the 'remove' attribute uses the sysfs_schedule_callback API
and also does not protect itself from concurrent accesses, its
callback handler will be called multiple times, and will
eventually attempt to perform operations on a freed kobject,
leading to many problems.

Instead of requiring all callers of sysfs_schedule_callback to
implement their own synchronization, provide the protection in
the infrastructure.

Now, sysfs_schedule_callback will only allow one scheduled
callback per kobject. On subsequent calls with the same kobject,
return -EAGAIN.

This is a short term fix. The long term fix is to allow sysfs
attributes to remove themselves directly, without any of this
callback hokey pokey.

f67f129e51 Driver core: implement uevent suppress in kobject
This patch implements uevent suppress in kobject and removes it
from struct device, based on the following ideas:

1,Uevent sending should be one attribute of kobject, so suppressing it
in kobject layer is more natural than in device layer. By this way,
we can do it for other objects embedded with kobject.

2,It may save several bytes for each instance of struct device.(On my
omap3(32bit ARM) based box, can save 8bytes per device object)

This patch also introduces dev_set|get_uevent_suppress() helpers to
set and query uevent_suppress attribute in case to help kobject
as private part of struct device in future.

[This version is against the latest driver-core patch set of Greg,please
ignore the last version.]

e0edd3c65a sysfs: don't block indefinitely for unmapped files.
Modify sysfs bin files so that we can remove the bin file while they are
still mapped.  When the kobject is removed we unmap the bin file and
arrange for future accesses to the mapping to receive SIGBUS.

Implementing this prevents a nasty DOS when pci devices are hot plugged
and unplugged.  Where if any of their resources were mmaped the kernel
could not free up their pci resources or release their pci data
structures.

425cb02912 sysfs: sysfs_add_one WARNs with full path to duplicate filename
sysfs: sysfs_add_one WARNs with full path to duplicate filename

As a debugging aid, it can be useful to know the full path to a
duplicate file being created in sysfs.

We now will display warnings such as:

	sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/foo'

when attempting to create multiple files named 'foo' in the sysfs
root, or:

	sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/bus/pci/slots/5/foo'

when attempting to create multiple files named 'foo' under a
given directory in sysfs.

The path displayed is always a relative path to sysfs_root. The
leading '/' in the path name refers to the sysfs_root mount
point, and should not be confused with the "real" '/'.

Thanks to Alex Williamson for essentially writing sysfs_pathname.

this warning (which got fixed by commit b2bf968):

Triggered because the code flow in bio_alloc_bioset() is correct
but a bit complex for the compiler to see through.

Streamline it a bit - this also makes the code a tiny bit more compact:

02ffad08e8 GFS2: Fix locking bug in failed shared to exclusive conversion
After calling out to the dlm, GFS2 sets the new state of a glock to
gl_target in gdlm_ast().  However, gl_target is not always the lock
state that was requested. If a conversion from shared to exclusive
fails, finish_xmote() will call do_xmote() with LM_ST_UNLOCKED, instead
of gl->gl_target, so that it can reacquire the lock in exlusive the next
time around.  In this case, setting the lock to gl_target in gdlm_ast()
will make GFS2 think that it has the glock in exclusive mode, when
really, it doesn't have the glock locked at all.  This patch adds a new
field to the gfs2_glock structure, gl_req, to track the mode that was
requested.

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.

64d576ba23 GFS2: Add a "demote a glock" interface to sysfs
This adds a sysfs file called demote_rq to GFS2's
per filesystem directory. Its possible to use this
file to demote arbitrary glocks in exactly the same
way as if a request had come in from a remote node.

This is intended for testing issues relating to caching
of data under glocks. Despite that, the interface is
generic enough to send requests to any type of glock,
but be careful as its not always safe to send an
arbitrary message to an arbitrary glock. For that reason
and to prevent DoS, this interface is restricted to root
only.

The messages look like this:

<type>:<glocknumber> <mode>

Example:

echo -n "2:13324 EX" >/sys/fs/gfs2/unity:myfs/demote_rq

Which means "please demote inode glock (type 2) number 13324 so that
I can get an EX (exclusive) lock". The lock modes are those which
would normally be sent by a remote node in its callback so if you
want to unlock a glock, you use EX, to demote to shared, use SH or PR
(depending on whether you like GFS2 or DLM lock modes better!).

If the glock doesn't exist, you'll get -ENOENT returned. If the
arguments don't make sense, you'll get -EINVAL returned.

The plan is that this interface will be used in combination with
the blktrace patch which I recently posted for comments although
it is, of course, still useful in its own right.

02e3cc70ec GFS2: Expose UUID via sysfs/uevent
Since we have a UUID, we ought to expose it to the user via sysfs
and uevents. We already have the fs name in both of these places
(a combination of the lock proto and lock table name) so if we add
the UUID as well, we have a full set.

For older filesystems (i.e. those created before mkfs.gfs2 was writing
UUIDs by default) the sysfs file will appear zero length, and no UUID
env var will be added to the uevents.

f15ab5619d GFS2: Support generation of discard requests
This patch allows GFS2 to generate discard requests for blocks which are
no longer useful to the filesystem (i.e. those which have been freed as
the result of an unlink operation). The requests are generated at the
time which those blocks become available for reuse in the filesystem.

In order to use this new feature, you have to specify the "discard"
mount option. The code coalesces adjacent blocks into a single extent
when generating the discard requests, thus generating the minimum
number.

If an error occurs when the request has been sent to the block device,
then it will print a message and turn off the requests for that
filesystem. If the problem is temporary, then you can use remount to
turn the option back on again. There is also a nodiscard mount option
so that you can use remount to turn discard requests off, if required.

d8348de06f GFS2: Fix deadlock on journal flush
This patch fixes a deadlock when the journal is flushed and there
are dirty inodes other than the one which caused the journal flush.
Originally the journal flushing code was trying to obtain the
transaction glock while running the flush code for an inode glock.
We no longer require the transaction glock at this point in time
since we know that any attempt to get the transaction glock from
another node will result in a journal flush. So if we are flushing
the journal, we can be sure that the transaction lock is still
cached from when the transaction was started.

By inlining a version of gfs2_trans_begin() (minus the bit which
gets the transaction glock) we can avoid the deadlock problems
caused if there is a demote request queued up on the transaction
glock.

In addition I've also moved the umount rwsem so that it covers
the glock workqueue, since it all demotions are done by this
workqueue now. That fixes a bug on umount which I came across
while fixing the original problem.

f057f6cdf6 GFS2: Merge lock_dlm module into GFS2
This is the big patch that I've been working on for some time
now. There are many reasons for wanting to make this change
such as:
 o Reducing overhead by eliminating duplicated fields between structures
 o Simplifcation of the code (reduces the code size by a fair bit)
 o The locking interface is now the DLM interface itself as proposed
   some time ago.
 o Fewer lookups of glocks when processing replies from the DLM
 o Fewer memory allocations/deallocations for each glock
 o Scope to do further optimisations in the future (but this patch is
   more than big enough for now!)

Please note that (a) this patch relates to the lock_dlm module and
not the DLM itself, that is still a separate module; and (b) that
we retain the ability to build GFS2 as a standalone single node
filesystem with out requiring the DLM.

This patch needs a lot of testing, hence my keeping it I restarted
my -git tree after the last merge window. That way, this has the maximum
exposure before its merged. This is (modulo a few minor bug fixes) the
same patch that I've been posting on and off the the last three months
and its passed a number of different tests so far.

The following patch fixes an issue relating to remount and argument
parsing. After this fix is applied, remount becomes atomic in that
it either succeeds changing the mount to the new state, or it fails
and leaves it in the old state. Previously it was possible for the
parsing of options to fail part way though and for the fs to be left
in a state where some of the new arguments had been applied, but some
had not.
