If we have accumulated a contiguous region of memory to be written
out, and the next page can added to this region, don't bother locking
(and then unlocking the page) before writing out the memory. In the
unlikely event that the next page was being written back by some other
CPU, we can also skip waiting that page to finish writeback.

Because the ext4 page writeback codepath had been prematurely calling
clear_page_dirty_for_io(), if it turned out that a particular page
couldn't be written out during a particular pass of
write_cache_pages_da(), the page would have to get redirtied by
calling redirty_pages_for_writeback(). Not only was this wasted work,
but redirty_page_for_writeback() would increment wbc->pages_skipped to
signal to writeback_sb_inodes() that buffers were locked, and that it
should skip this inode until later.
Since this signal was incorrect in ext4's case --- which was caused by
ext4's historically incorrect use of write_cache_pages() ---
ext4_da_writepages() saved and restored wbc->skipped_pages to avoid
confusing writeback_sb_inodes().
Now that we've fixed ext4 to call clear_page_dirty_for_io() right
before initiating the page I/O, we can nuke the page_skipped
save/restore hackery, and breathe a sigh of relief.

Move when we call clear_page_dirty_for_io() to just before we actually
write the page. This simplifies the code somewhat, and avoids marking
pages as clean and then needing to remark them as dirty later.

If ext4_da_block_invalidatepages() is called because of a
failure from ext4_map_blocks() in mpage_da_map_and_submit(),
it's supposed to clean up -- including unlock -- all the
pages in the mpd structure. But these values may not match
up, even on a system in which block size == page size:
mpd->b_blocknr != mpd->first_page
mpd->b_size != (mpd->next_page - mpd->first_page)
ext4_da_block_invalidatepages() has been using b_blocknr and
b_size; this patch changes it to use first_page and
next_page.
Tested: I injected a small number (5%) of failures in
ext4_map_blocks() in the case that the flags contain
EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_DELALLOC_RESERVE, and ran fsstress on this
kernel. Without this patch, I got hung tasks every time.
With this patch, I see no hangs in many runs of fsstress.

In mpage_da_map_and_submit(), if we have a delayed block
allocation failure from ext4_map_blocks(), we need to mark
the IO as complete, by setting
mpd->io_done = 1;
Otherwise, we could end up submitting the pages in an outer
loop; since they are unlocked on mapping failure in
ext4_da_block_invalidatepages(), this will cause a bug check
in mpage_da_submit_io().
I tested this by injected failures into ext4_map_blocks().
Without this patch, a simple fsstress run will bug check;
with the patch, it works fine.

A race can occur when io_submit() races with io_destroy():
CPU1 CPU2
io_submit()
do_io_submit()
...
ctx = lookup_ioctx(ctx_id);
io_destroy()
Now do_io_submit() holds the last reference to ctx.
...
queue new AIO
put_ioctx(ctx) - frees ctx with active AIOs
We solve this issue by checking whether ctx is being destroyed in AIO
submission path after adding new AIO to ctx. Then we are guaranteed that
either io_destroy() waits for new AIO or we see that ctx is being
destroyed and bail out.

In several places, an epoll fd can call another file's ->f_op->poll()
method with ep->mtx held. This is in general unsafe, because that other
file could itself be an epoll fd that contains the original epoll fd.
The code defends against this possibility in its own ->poll() method using
ep_call_nested, but there are several other unsafe calls to ->poll
elsewhere that can be made to deadlock. For example, the following simple
program causes the call in ep_insert recursively call the original fd's
->poll, leading to deadlock:
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/epoll.h>
int main(void) {
int e1, e2, p[2];
struct epoll_event evt = {
.events = EPOLLIN
};
e1 = epoll_create(1);
e2 = epoll_create(2);
pipe(p);
epoll_ctl(e2, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, e1, &evt);
epoll_ctl(e1, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, p[0], &evt);
write(p[1], p, sizeof p);
epoll_ctl(e1, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, e2, &evt);
return 0;
}
On insertion, check whether the inserted file is itself a struct epoll,
and if so, do a recursive walk to detect whether inserting this file would
create a loop of epoll structures, which could lead to deadlock.

bdev kills holder_dir on removal, not release, so if the slave bdev is

This patch is a performance improvement to GFS2's dealloc code.
Rather than update the quota file and statfs file for every
single block that's stripped off in unlink function do_strip,
this patch keeps track and updates them once for every layer
that's stripped. This is done entirely inside the existing
transaction, so there should be no risk of corruption.
The other functions that deallocate blocks will be unaffected
because they are using wrapper functions that do the same
thing that they do today.
I tested this code on my roth cluster by creating 200
files in a directory, each of which is 100MB, then on
four nodes, I simultaneously deleted the files, thus competing
for GFS2 resources (but different files). The commands
I used were:
[root@roth-01]# time for i in `seq 1 4 200` ; do rm /mnt/gfs2/bigdir/gfs2.$i; done
[root@roth-02]# time for i in `seq 2 4 200` ; do rm /mnt/gfs2/bigdir/gfs2.$i; done
[root@roth-03]# time for i in `seq 3 4 200` ; do rm /mnt/gfs2/bigdir/gfs2.$i; done
[root@roth-05]# time for i in `seq 4 4 200` ; do rm /mnt/gfs2/bigdir/gfs2.$i; done
The performance increase was significant:
roth-01 roth-02 roth-03 roth-05
--------- --------- --------- ---------
old: real 0m34.027 0m25.021s 0m23.906s 0m35.646s
new: real 0m22.379s 0m24.362s 0m24.133s 0m18.562s
Total time spent deleting:
old: 118.6s
new: 89.4
For this particular case, this showed a 25% performance increase for
GFS2 unlinks.

When we trim some free blocks in a group of ext3, we should
calculate the free blocks properly and check whether there are
enough freed blocks left for us to trim. Current solution will
only calculate free spaces if they are large for a trim which
is wrong.
Let us see a small example:
a group has 1.5M free which are 300k, 300k, 300k, 300k, 300k.
And minblocks is 1M. With current solution, we have to iterate
the whole group since these 300k will never be subtracted from
1.5M. But actually we should exit after we find the first 2
free spaces since the left 3 chunks only sum up to 900K if we
subtract the first 600K although they can't be trimed.

There are two cases when we call flush_disk.
In one, the device has disappeared (check_disk_change) so any
data will hold becomes irrelevant.
In the oter, the device has changed size (check_disk_size_change)
so data we hold may be irrelevant.
In both cases it makes sense to discard any 'clean' buffers,
so they will be read back from the device if needed.
In the former case it makes sense to discard 'dirty' buffers
as there will never be anywhere safe to write the data. In the
second case it *does*not* make sense to discard dirty buffers
as that will lead to file system corruption when you simply enlarge
the containing devices.
flush_disk calls __invalidate_devices.
__invalidate_device calls both invalidate_inodes and invalidate_bdev.
invalidate_inodes *does* discard I_DIRTY inodes and this does lead
to fs corruption.
invalidate_bev *does*not* discard dirty pages, but I don't really care
about that at present.
So this patch adds a flag to __invalidate_device (calling it
__invalidate_device2) to indicate whether dirty buffers should be
killed, and this is passed to invalidate_inodes which can choose to
skip dirty inodes.
flusk_disk then passes true from check_disk_change and false from
check_disk_size_change.
dm avoids tripping over this problem by calling i_size_write directly
rathher than using check_disk_size_change.
md does use check_disk_size_change and so is affected.
This regression was introduced by commit 608aeef17a which causes
check_disk_size_change to call flush_disk, so it is suitable for any
kernel since 2.6.27.

Michael Leun reported that running parallel opens on a fuse filesystem
can trigger a "kernel BUG at mm/truncate.c:475"
Gurudas Pai reported the same bug on NFS.
The reason is, unmap_mapping_range() is not prepared for more than
one concurrent invocation per inode. For example:
thread1: going through a big range, stops in the middle of a vma and
stores the restart address in vm_truncate_count.
thread2: comes in with a small (e.g. single page) unmap request on
the same vma, somewhere before restart_address, finds that the
vma was already unmapped up to the restart address and happily
returns without doing anything.
Another scenario would be two big unmap requests, both having to
restart the unmapping and each one setting vm_truncate_count to its
own value. This could go on forever without any of them being able to
finish.
Truncate and hole punching already serialize with i_mutex. Other
callers of unmap_mapping_range() do not, and it's difficult to get
i_mutex protection for all callers. In particular ->d_revalidate(),
which calls invalidate_inode_pages2_range() in fuse, may be called
with or without i_mutex.
This patch adds a new mutex to 'struct address_space' to prevent
running multiple concurrent unmap_mapping_range() on the same mapping.
[ We'll hopefully get rid of all this with the upcoming mm
preemptibility series by Peter Zijlstra, the "mm: Remove i_mmap_mutex
lockbreak" patch in particular. But that is for 2.6.39 ]

fill in the logsunit member of the passed xfs_fsop_geom_t, leading to
the leaking of four bytes of uninitialized stack data to potentially
unprivileged callers.
v2 switches to memset() to avoid future issues if structure members
change, on suggestion of Dave Chinner.

In dlm_query_region_handler(), move the kmalloc outside the spinlock.
This allows us to use GFP_KERNEL instead of GFP_ATOMIC.

Right now we, are relying on the fact that when we attempt to
actually do the discard, blkdev_issue_discar() returns -EOPNOTSUPP
and the user is informed that the device does not support discard.
However, in the case where the we do not hit any suitable free
extent to trim in FITRIM code, it will finish without any error.
This is very confusing, because it seems that FITRIM was successful
even though the device does not actually supports discard.
Solution: Check for the discard support before attempt to search for
free extents.

I cannot disable inode-read-ahead feature of ext4 (on 2.6.37):
# echo 0 > /sys/fs/ext4/sda2/inode_readahead_blks
bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
On a server with lots of small files and random access this read-ahead makes
performance worse, and I'd like to disable it. I work around this problem
by using value of 1, but it still reads an extra block.
This patch fixes the problem by checking for zero explicitly.
