d9449ce35a Fix regression in direct writes performance due to WRITE_ODIRECT flag removal
There seems to be a regression in direct write path due to following
commit in for-2.6.33 branch of block tree.

commit 1af60fbd75
Author: Jeff Moyer <jmoyer@redhat.com>
Date:   Fri Oct 2 18:56:53 2009 -0400

    block: get rid of the WRITE_ODIRECT flag

Marking direct writes as WRITE_SYNC_PLUG instead of WRITE_ODIRECT, sets
the NOIDLE flag in bio and hence in request. This tells CFQ to not expect
more request from the queue and not idle on it (despite the fact that
queue's think time is less and it is not seeky).

So direct writers lose big time when competing with sequential readers.

Using fio, I have run one direct writer and two sequential readers and
following are the results with 2.6.32-rc7 kernel and with for-2.6.33
branch.

Test
====
1 direct writer and 2 sequential reader running simultaneously.

[global]
directory=/mnt/sdc/fio/
runtime=10

[seqwrite]
rw=write
size=4G
direct=1

[seqread]
rw=read
size=2G
numjobs=2

2.6.32-rc7
==========
direct writes: aggrb=2,968KB/s
readers	     : aggrb=101MB/s

for-2.6.33 branch
=================
direct write: aggrb=19KB/s
readers	      aggrb=137MB/s

This patch brings back the WRITE_ODIRECT flag, with the difference that we
don't set the BIO_RW_UNPLUG flag so that device is not unplugged after
submission of request and an explicit unplug from submitter is required.

That way we fix the jeff's issue of not enough merging taking place in aio
path as well as make sure direct writes get their fair share.

After the fix
=============
for-2.6.33 + fix
----------------
direct writes: aggrb=2,728KB/s
reads: aggrb=103MB/s

Thanks
Vivek

2d4dc890b5 block: add helpers to run flush_dcache_page() against a bio and a request's pages
Mtdblock driver doesn't call flush_dcache_page for pages in request.  So,
this causes problems on architectures where the icache doesn't fill from
the dcache or with dcache aliases.  The patch fixes this.

The ARCH_IMPLEMENTS_FLUSH_DCACHE_PAGE symbol was introduced to avoid
pointless empty cache-thrashing loops on architectures for which
flush_dcache_page() is a no-op.  Every architecture was provided with this
flush pages on architectires where ARCH_IMPLEMENTS_FLUSH_DCACHE_PAGE is
equal 1 or do nothing otherwise.

See "fix mtd_blkdevs problem with caches on some architectures" discussion
on LKML for more information.

87038c2d5b partitions: read whole sector with EFI GPT header
The size of EFI GPT header is not static, but whole sector is
allocated for the header. The HeaderSize field must be greater
than 92 (= sizeof(struct gpt_header) and must be less than or
equal to the logical block size.

It means we have to read whole sector with the header, because the
header crc32 checksum is calculated according to HeaderSize.

For more details see UEFI standard (version 2.3, May 2009):

7d13af3279 partitions: use sector size for EFI GPT
Currently, kernel uses strictly 512-byte sectors for EFI GPT parsing.
That's wrong.

UEFI standard (version 2.3, May 2009, 5.3.1 GUID Format overview, page
95) defines that LBA is always based on the logical block size. It
means bdev_logical_block_size() (aka BLKSSZGET) for Linux.

This patch removes static sector size from EFI GPT parser.

The problem is reproducible with the latest GNU Parted:

 # modprobe scsi_debug dev_size_mb=50 sector_size=4096

  # ./parted /dev/sdb print
  Model: Linux scsi_debug (scsi)
  Disk /dev/sdb: 52.4MB
  Sector size (logical/physical): 4096B/4096B
  Partition Table: gpt

   3      6001kB  9003kB  3002kB               primary

  # blockdev --rereadpt /dev/sdb

cc56f7de7f sendfile(): check f_op.splice_write() rather than f_op.sendpage()
sendfile(2) was reworked with the splice infrastructure, but it still
checks f_op.sendpage() instead of f_op.splice_write() wrongly.  Although
if f_op.sendpage() exists, f_op.splice_write() always exists at the same
time currently, the assumption will be broken in future silently.  This
patch also brings a side effect: sendfile(2) can work with any output
file.  Some security checks related to f_op are added too.

c7ff91d722 xfs: fix xfs_quota remove error
The xfs_quota returns ENOSYS when remove command is executed.
Reproducable with following steps.

    # mount -t xfs -o uquota /dev/sda7 /mnt/mp1
    # xfs_quota -x -c off -c remove
    XFS_QUOTARM: Function not implemented.

The remove command is allowed during quotaoff, but xfs_fs_set_xstate()
checks whether quota is running, and it leads to ENOSYS.

To solve this problem, add a check for X_QUOTARM.

3b826386d3 xfs: free temporary cursor in xfs_dialloc
Commit bd16956599 seems
to have a slight regression where this code path:

    if (!--searchdistance) {
        /*
         * Not in range - save last search
         * location and allocate a new inode
         */
        ...
        goto newino;
    }

doesn't free the temporary cursor (tcur) that got dup'd in
this function.

This leaks an item in the xfs_btree_cur zone, and it's caught
on module unload:

===========================================================
BUG xfs_btree_cur: Objects remaining on kmem_cache_close()
-----------------------------------------------------------

It seems like maybe a single free at the end of the function might
be cleaner, but for now put a del_cursor right in this code block
similar to the handling in the rest of the function.

47f365eb57 hfs: fix oops on mount with corrupted btree extent records
A particular fsfuzzer run caused an hfs file system to crash on mount.
This is due to a corrupted MDB extent record causing a miscalculation of
HFS_I(inode)->first_blocks for the extent tree.  If the extent records are
zereod out, it won't trigger the first_blocks special case.  Instead it
falls through to the extent code which we're still in the middle of
initializing.

This patch catches the 0 size extent records, reports the corruption, and
fails the mount.

5c36fe3d87 hfsplus: refuse to mount volumes larger than 2TB
As found in <http://bugs.debian.org/550010>, hfsplus is using type u32
rather than sector_t for some sector number calculations.

In particular, hfsplus_get_block() does:

        u32 ablock, dblock, mask;
...
        map_bh(bh_result, sb, (dblock << HFSPLUS_SB(sb).fs_shift) + HFSPLUS_SB(sb).blockoffset + (iblock & mask));

I am not confident that I can find and fix all cases where a sector number
may be truncated.  For now, avoid data loss by refusing to mount HFS+
volumes with more than 2^32 sectors (2TB).

ab0a9735e0 blkdev: flush disk cache on ->fsync
Currently there is no barrier support in the block device code.  That
means we cannot guarantee any sort of data integerity when using the
block device node with dis kwrite caches enabled.  Using the raw block
device node is a typical use case for virtualization (and I assume
databases, too).  This patch changes block_fsync to issue a cache flush
and thus make fsync on block device nodes actually useful.

Note that in mainline we would also need to add such code to the
->aio_write method for O_SYNC handling, but assuming that Jan's patch
series for the O_SYNC rewrite goes in it will also call into ->fsync
for 2.6.32.

cfb1e33eed aio: implement request batching
Hi,

Some workloads issue batches of small I/O, and the performance is poor
due to the call to blk_run_address_space for every single iocb.  Nathan
Roberts pointed this out, and suggested that by deferring this call
until all I/Os in the iocb array are submitted to the block layer, we
can realize some impressive performance gains (up to 30% for sequential
4k reads in batches of 16).

The WRITE_ODIRECT flag is only used in one place, and that code path

Further, with the batching changes in the next patch, we don't want an

ffb4a73d89 sh: Fix hugetlbfs dependencies for SH-3 && MMU configurations.
The hugetlb dependencies presently depend on SUPERH && MMU while the
hugetlb page size definitions depend on CPU_SH4 or CPU_SH5. This
unfortunately allows SH-3 + MMU configurations to enable hugetlbfs
without a corresponding HPAGE_SHIFT definition, resulting in the build
blowing up.

As SH-3 doesn't support variable page sizes, we tighten up the
dependenies a bit to prevent hugetlbfs from being enabled. These days
we also have a shiny new SYS_SUPPORTS_HUGETLBFS, so switch to using
that rather than adding to the list of corner cases in fs/Kconfig.

supposed to bump the sequence number on OPEN, LOCK, LOCKU, CLOSE, etc

Panic in nfs_direct_write_complete() when a commit fails.

At the end of an nfs write, if the nfs commit fails, all the writes
will be rescheduled.  They are supposed to be rescheduled as NFS_FILE_SYNC
writes, but the rpc_task structure is not completely intialized and so
the option is not passed.  When the rescheduled writes complete, the
return indicates that they are NFS_UNSTABLE and we try to do another
commit.  This leads to a Panic because the commit data structure pointer
was set to null in the initial (failed) commit attempt.

The failure mode is triggered by an attempt to open an anonymous
pipe via /proc/pid/fd/* as exemplified by this script:

=============================================================
while : ; do
   { echo y ; sleep 1 ; } | { while read ; do echo z$REPLY; done ; } &
   PID=$!
   OUT=$(ps -efl | grep 'sleep 1' | grep -v grep |
        { read PID REST ; echo $PID; } )
   OUT="${OUT%% *}"
   DELAY=$((RANDOM * 1000 / 32768))
   usleep $((DELAY * 1000 + RANDOM % 1000 ))
   echo n > /proc/$OUT/fd/1                 # Trigger defect
done
=============================================================

Note that the failure window is quite small and I could only
reliably reproduce the defect by inserting a small delay
in pipe_rdwr_open(). For example:

 static int
 pipe_rdwr_open(struct inode *inode, struct file *filp)
 {
       msleep(100);
       mutex_lock(&inode->i_mutex);

Although the defect was observed in pipe_rdwr_open(), I think it
makes sense to replicate the change through all the pipe_*_open()
functions.

The core of the change is to verify that inode->i_pipe has not
been released before attempting to manipulate it. If inode->i_pipe
is no longer present, return ENOENT to indicate so.

The comment about potentially using atomic_t for i_pipe->readers
and i_pipe->writers has also been removed because it is no longer
relevant in this context. The inode->i_mutex lock must be used so
that inode->i_pipe can be dealt with correctly.

Mask off FS_EVENT_ON_CHILD in dnotify_handle_event().  Otherwise, when there

3de0ef4f20 inotify: fix coalesce duplicate events into a single event in special case
If we do rename a dir entry, like this:

  rename("/tmp/ino7UrgoJ.rename1", "/tmp/ino7UrgoJ.rename2")
  rename("/tmp/ino7UrgoJ.rename2", "/tmp/ino7UrgoJ")

The duplicate events should be coalesced into a single event. But those two
events do not be coalesced into a single event, due to some bad check in
event_compare(). It can not match the two NULL inodes as the same event.

9f0d793b52 fsnotify: do not set group for a mark before it is on the i_list
fsnotify_add_mark is supposed to add a mark to the g_list and i_list and to
set the group and inode for the mark.  fsnotify_destroy_mark_by_entry uses
the fact that ->group != NULL to know if this group should be destroyed or
if it's already been done.

But fsnotify_add_mark sets the group and inode before it actually adds the
mark to the i_list and g_list.  This can result in a race in inotify, it
requires 3 threads.

sys_inotify_add_watch("file")	sys_inotify_add_watch("file")	sys_inotify_rm_watch([a])
inotify_update_watch()
inotify_new_watch()
inotify_add_to_idr()
   ^--- returns wd = [a]
				inotfiy_update_watch()
				inotify_new_watch()
				inotify_add_to_idr()
				fsnotify_add_mark()
				   ^--- returns wd = [b]
				returns to userspace;
								inotify_idr_find([a])
								   ^--- gives us the pointer from task 1
fsnotify_add_mark()
   ^--- this is going to set the mark->group and mark->inode fields, but will
return -EEXIST because of the race with [b].
								fsnotify_destroy_mark()
								   ^--- since ->group != NULL we call back
									into inotify_freeing_mark() which calls
								inotify_remove_from_idr([a])

since fsnotify_add_mark() failed we call:
inotify_remove_from_idr([a])     <------WHOOPS it's not in the idr, this could
					have been any entry added later!

The fix is to make sure we don't set mark->group until we are sure the mark is
on the inode and fsnotify_add_mark will return success.

83db93f4de sysfs: Allow sysfs_notify_dirent to be called from interrupt context.
sysfs_notify_dirent is a simple atomic operation that can be used to
alert user-space that new data can be read from a sysfs attribute.

Unfortunately it cannot currently be called from non-process context
because of its use of spin_lock which is sometimes taken with
interrupts enabled.

So change all lockers of sysfs_open_dirent_lock to disable interrupts,
thus making sysfs_notify_dirent safe to be called from non-process
context (as drivers/md does in md_safemode_timeout).

sysfs_get_open_dirent is (documented as being) only called from
process context, so it uses spin_lock_irq.  Other places
use spin_lock_irqsave.

The usage for sysfs_notify_dirent in md_safemode_timeout was
introduced in 2.6.28, so this patch is suitable for that and more
recent kernels.

sysfs_move_dir() should do this as well (again) and fall back to
sysfs_root in that case.

444528b3e6 Btrfs: always pin metadata in discard mode
We have an optimization in btrfs to allow blocks to be
immediately freed if they were allocated in this transaction and never
written.  Otherwise they are pinned and freed when the transaction
commits.

This isn't optimal for discard mode because immediately freeing
them means immediately discarding them.  It is better to give the
block to the pinning code and letting the (slow) discard happen later.

xfs_dqrele_inode calls xfs_iput to release the ilock and a reference
