This patch provides a shim between the kernel-internal cleancache
API (see Documentation/mm/cleancache.txt) and the Xen Transcendent
Memory ABI (see http://oss.oracle.com/projects/tmem).
Xen tmem provides "hypervisor RAM" as an ephemeral page-oriented
pseudo-RAM store for cleancache pages, shared cleancache pages,
and frontswap pages. Tmem provides enterprise-quality concurrency,
full save/restore and live migration support, compression
and deduplication.
A presentation showing up to 8% faster performance and up to 52%
reduction in sectors read on a kernel compile workload, despite
aggressive in-kernel page reclamation ("self-ballooning") can be

This eighth patch of eight in this cleancache series "opts-in"
cleancache for ocfs2. Clustered filesystems must explicitly enable
cleancache by calling cleancache_init_shared_fs anytime an instance
of the filesystem is mounted. Ocfs2 is currently the only user of
the clustered filesystem interface but nevertheless, the cleancache
hooks in the VFS layer are sufficient for ocfs2 including the matching
cleancache_flush_fs hook which must be called on unmount.

This fourth patch of eight in this cleancache series provides the
core hooks in VFS for: initializing cleancache per filesystem;
capturing clean pages reclaimed by page cache; attempting to get
pages from cleancache before filesystem read; and ensuring coherency
between pagecache, disk, and cleancache. Note that the placement
of these hooks was stable from 2.6.18 to 2.6.38; a minor semantic
change was required due to a patchset in 2.6.39.
All hooks become no-ops if CONFIG_CLEANCACHE is unset, or become
a check of a boolean global if CONFIG_CLEANCACHE is set but no
cleancache "backend" has claimed cleancache_ops.

This third patch of eight in this cleancache series provides
the core code for cleancache that interfaces between the hooks in
VFS and individual filesystems and a cleancache backend. It also
includes build and config patches.
Two new files are added: mm/cleancache.c and include/linux/cleancache.h.
Note that CONFIG_CLEANCACHE can default to on; in systems that do
not provide a cleancache backend, all hooks devolve to a simple
check of a global enable flag, so performance impact should
be negligible but can be reduced to zero impact if config'ed off.
However for this first commit, it defaults to off.

This patchset introduces cleancache, an optional new feature exposed
by the VFS layer that potentially dramatically increases page cache
effectiveness for many workloads in many environments at a negligible
cost. It does this by providing an interface to transcendent memory,
which is memory/storage that is not otherwise visible to and/or directly
addressable by the kernel.
Instead of being discarded, hooks in the reclaim code "put" clean
pages to cleancache. Filesystems that "opt-in" may "get" pages
from cleancache that were previously put, but pages in cleancache are
"ephemeral", meaning they may disappear at any time. And the size
of cleancache is entirely dynamic and unknowable to the kernel.
Filesystems currently supported by this patchset include ext3, ext4,
btrfs, and ocfs2. Other filesystems (especially those built entirely
on VFS) should be easy to add, but should first be thoroughly tested to
ensure coherency.
Details and a FAQ are provided in Documentation/vm/cleancache.txt
This first patch of eight in this cleancache series only adds two
new documentation files.

Ceph does not need these, and they screw up our use of the dcache as a
consistent cache.

vfs_rename_dir() doesn't properly account for filesystems with
FS_RENAME_DOES_D_MOVE. If new_dentry has a target inode attached, it
unhashes the new_dentry prior to the rename() iop and rehashes it after,
but doesn't account for the possibility that rename() may have swapped
{old,new}_dentry. For FS_RENAME_DOES_D_MOVE filesystems, it rehashes
new_dentry (now the old renamed-from name, which d_move() expected to go
away), such that a subsequent lookup will find it. Currently all
FS_RENAME_DOES_D_MOVE filesystems compensate for this by failing in
d_revalidate.
The bug was introduced by: commit 349457ccf2
"[PATCH] Allow file systems to manually d_move() inside of ->rename()"
Fix by not rehashing the new dentry. Rehashing used to be needed by
d_move() but isn't anymore.

Only a few file systems need this. Start by pushing it down into each
rename method (except gfs2 and xfs) so that it can be dealt with on a
per-fs basis.

This does not change behavior for any in-tree file systems.

This serves no useful purpose that I can discern. All callers (rename,
rmdir) hold their own reference to the dentry.
A quick audit of all file systems showed no relevant checks on the value
of d_count in vfs_rmdir/vfs_rename_dir paths.
