978b4053ae fcntl: rename F_OWNER_GID to F_OWNER_PGRP
This is for consistency with various ioctl() operations that include the
suffix "PGRP" in their names, and also for consistency with PRIO_PGRP,
used with setpriority() and getpriority().  Also, using PGRP instead of
GID avoids confusion with the common abbreviation of "group ID".

I'm fine with anything that makes it more consistent, and if PGRP is what
is the predominant abbreviation then I see no need to further confuse
matters by adding a third one.

6c06f072c2 xfs: copy li_lsn before dropping AIL lock
Access to log items on the AIL is generally protected by m_ail_lock;
this is particularly needed when we're getting or setting the 64-bit
li_lsn on a 32-bit platform.  This patch fixes a couple places where we
were accessing the log item after dropping the AIL lock on 32-bit
machines.

This can result in a partially-zeroed log->l_tail_lsn if
xfs_trans_ail_delete is racing with xfs_trans_ail_update, and in at
least some cases, this can leave the l_tail_lsn with a zero cycle
number, which means xlog_space_left will think the log is full (unless
CONFIG_XFS_DEBUG is set, in which case we'll trip an ASSERT), leading to
processes stuck forever in xlog_grant_log_space.

Thanks to Adrian VanderSpek for first spotting the race potential and to
Dave Chinner for debug assistance.

8ec6dba258 XFS bug in log recover with quota (bugzilla id 855)
Hi,
I was hit by a bug in linux 2.6.31 when XFS is not able to recover the
log after a crash if fs was mounted with quotas. Gory details in XFS
bugzilla: http://oss.sgi.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=855.

It looks like wrong struct is used in buffer length check, and the following
patch should fix the problem.

xfs_dqblk_t has a size of 104+32 bytes, while xfs_disk_dquot_t is 104 bytes
long, and this is exactly what I see in system logs - "XFS: dquot too small
(104) in xlog_recover_do_dquot_trans."

5068969686 ext4: make sure directory and symlink blocks are revoked
When an inode gets unlinked, the functions ext4_clear_blocks() and
ext4_remove_blocks() call ext4_forget() for all the buffer heads
corresponding to the deleted inode's data blocks.  If the inode is a
directory or a symlink, the is_metadata parameter must be non-zero so
ext4_forget() will revoke them via jbd2_journal_revoke().  Otherwise,
if these blocks are reused for a data file, and the system crashes
before a journal checkpoint, the journal replay could end up
corrupting these data blocks.

Thanks to Curt Wohlgemuth for pointing out potential problems in this
area.

e6a47428de jbd2: don't wipe the journal on a failed journal checksum
If there is a failed journal checksum, don't reset the journal.  This
allows for userspace programs to decide how to recover from this
situation.  It may be that ignoring the journal checksum failure might
be a better way of recovering the file system.  Once we add per-block
checksums, we can definitely do better.  Until then, a system
administrator can try backing up the file system image (or taking a
snapshot) and and trying to determine experimentally whether ignoring
the checksum failure or aborting the journal replay results in less
data loss.

49bd22bc4d ext4: fix possible recursive locking warning in EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT
If CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING is enabled, the double_down_write_data_sem()
will trigger a false-positive warning of a recursive lock.  Since we
take i_data_sem for the two inodes ordered by their inode numbers,
this isn't a problem.  Use of down_write_nested() will notify the lock
dependency checker machinery that there is no problem here.

This problem was reported by Brian Rogers:

fc04cb49a8 ext4: fix lock order problem in ext4_move_extents()
ext4_move_extents() checks the logical block contiguousness
of original file with ext4_find_extent() and mext_next_extent().
Therefore the extent which ext4_ext_path structure indicates
must not be changed between above functions.

But in current implementation, there is no i_data_sem protection
between ext4_ext_find_extent() and mext_next_extent().  So the extent
which ext4_ext_path structure indicates may be overwritten by
delalloc.  As a result, ext4_move_extents() will exchange wrong blocks
between original and donor files.  I change the place where
acquire/release i_data_sem to solve this problem.

Moreover, I changed move_extent_per_page() to start transaction first,
and then acquire i_data_sem.  Without this change, there is a
possibility of the deadlock between mmap() and ext4_move_extents():

* NOTE: "A", "B" and "C" mean different processes

A-1: ext4_ext_move_extents() acquires i_data_sem of two inodes.

B:   do_page_fault() starts the transaction (T),
     and then tries to acquire i_data_sem.
     But process "A" is already holding it, so it is kept waiting.

C:   While "A" and "B" running, kjournald2 tries to commit transaction (T)
     but it is under updating, so kjournald2 waits for it.

A-2: Call ext4_journal_start with holding i_data_sem,
     but transaction (T) is locked.

2de770a406 ext4: fix potential buffer head leak when add_dirent_to_buf() returns ENOSPC
Previously add_dirent_to_buf() did not free its passed-in buffer head
in the case of ENOSPC, since in some cases the caller still needed it.
However, this led to potential buffer head leaks since not all callers
dealt with this correctly.  Fix this by making simplifying the freeing
convention; now add_dirent_to_buf() *never* frees the passed-in buffer
head, and leaves that to the responsibility of its caller.  This makes
things cleaner and easier to prove that the code is neither leaking
buffer heads or calling brelse() one time too many.

For FS_IOC_RESVSP and FS_IOC_RESVSP64 compat_sys_ioctl() uses its
arg argument as a pointer to userspace. However it is missing a
a call to compat_ptr() which will do a proper pointer conversion.

This was introduced with 3e63cbb1 "fs: Add new pre-allocation ioctls
to vfs for compatibility with legacy xfs ioctls".

29f12ca321 pidns: fix a leak in /proc dentries and inodes with pid namespaces.
Daniel Lezcano reported a leak in 'struct pid' and 'struct pid_namespace'
that is discussed in:

	http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/10/2/159.

To summarize the thread, when container-init is terminated, it sets the
PF_EXITING flag, zaps other processes in the container and waits to reap
them.  As a part of reaping, the container-init should flush any /proc
dentries associated with the processes.  But because the container-init is
itself exiting and the following PF_EXITING check, the dentries are not
flushed, resulting in leak in /proc inodes and dentries.

This fix reverts the commit 7766755a2f ("Fix /proc dcache deadlock
in do_exit") which introduced the check for PF_EXITING.  At the time of
the commit, shrink_dcache_parent() flushed dentries from other filesystems
also and could have caused a deadlock which the commit fixed.  But as
pointed out by Eric Biederman, after commit 0feae5c47a,
shrink_dcache_parent() no longer affects other filesystems.  So reverting
the commit is now safe.

As pointed out by Jan Kara, the leak is not as critical since the
unclaimed space will be reclaimed under memory pressure or by:

	echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

But since this check is no longer required, its best to remove it.

a6dbd429d8 Btrfs: fix panic when trying to destroy a newly allocated
There is a problem where iget5_locked will look for an inode, not find it, and
then subsequently try to allocate it.  Another CPU will have raced in and
allocated the inode instead, so when iget5_locked gets the inode spin lock again
and does a search, it finds the new inode.  So it goes ahead and calls
destroy_inode on the inode it just allocated.  The problem is we don't set
BTRFS_I(inode)->root until the new inode is completely initialized.  This patch
makes us set root to NULL when alloc'ing a new inode, so when we get to
btrfs_destroy_inode and we see that root is NULL we can just free up the memory
and continue on.  This fixes the panic

33b2580864 Btrfs: allow more metadata chunk preallocation
On an FS where all of the space has not been allocated into chunks yet,
the enospc can return enospc just because the existing metadata chunks
are full.

We get around this by allowing more metadata chunks to be allocated up
to a certain limit, and finding the right limit is a little fuzzy.  The
problem is the reservations for delalloc would preallocate way too much
of the FS as metadata.  We need to start saying no and just force some
IO to happen.

But we also need to let a reasonable amount of the FS become metadata.
This bumps the hard limit up, later releases will have a better system.

f5a84ee3cd Btrfs: fallback on uncompressed io if compressed io fails
Currently compressed IO does not deal with not having its entire extent able to
be allocated.  So if we have enough free space to allocate for the extent, but
its not contiguous, it will fail spectacularly.  This patch fixes this by
falling back on uncompressed IO which lets us spread the delalloc extent across
multiple extents.  I tested this by making us randomly think the reservation had
failed to make it fallback on the uncompressed io way and it seemed to work
fine.  Thanks,

ccf0e72537 Btrfs: find ideal block group for caching
This patch changes a few things.  Hopefully the comments are helpfull, but
I'll try and be as verbose here.

Problem:

My fedora box was taking 1 minute and 21 seconds to boot with btrfs as root.
Part of this problem was we pick the first block group we can find and start
caching it, even if it may not have enough free space.  The other problem is
we only search for cached block groups the first time around, which we won't
find any cached block groups because this is a newly mounted fs, so we end up
caching several block groups during bootup, which with alot of fragmentation
takes around 30-45 seconds to complete, which bogs down the system.  So

Solution:

1) Don't cache block groups willy-nilly at first.  Instead try and figure out
which block group has the most free, and therefore will take the least amount
of time to cache.

2) Don't be so picky about cached block groups.  The other problem is once
we've filled up a cluster, if the block group isn't finished caching the next
time we try and do the allocation we'll completely ignore the cluster and
start searching from the beginning of the space, which makes us cache more
block groups, which slows us down even more.  So instead of skipping block
groups that are not finished caching when we have a hint, only skip the block
group if it hasn't started caching yet.

There is one other tweak in here.  Before if we allocated a chunk and still
couldn't find new space, we'd end up switching the space info to force another
chunk allocation.  This could make us end up with way too many chunks, so keep
track of this particular case.

With this patch and my previous cluster fixes my fedora box now boots in 43
seconds, and according to the bootchart is not held up by our block group
caching at all.
