fs_excl is a poor man's priority inheritance for filesystems to hint to
the block layer that an operation is important. It was never clearly
specified, not widely adopted, and will not prevent starvation in many
cases (like across cgroups).
fs_excl was introduced with the time sliced CFQ IO scheduler, to
indicate when a process held FS exclusive resources and thus needed
a boost.
It doesn't cover all file systems, and it was never fully complete.
Lets kill it.

A deadlock may occur if one of the PM domains' .start_device() or
.stop_device() callbacks or a device driver's .runtime_suspend() or
.runtime_resume() callback executed by the core generic PM domain
code uses a "wrong" runtime PM helper function. This happens, for
example, if .runtime_resume() from one device's driver calls
pm_runtime_resume() for another device in the same PM domain.
A similar situation may take place if a device's parent is in the
same PM domain, in which case the runtime PM framework may execute
pm_genpd_runtime_resume() automatically for the parent (if it is
suspended at the moment). This, of course, is undesirable, so
the generic PM domains code should be modified to prevent it from
happening.
The runtime PM framework guarantees that pm_genpd_runtime_suspend()
and pm_genpd_runtime_resume() won't be executed in parallel for
the same device, so the generic PM domains code need not worry
about those cases. Still, it needs to prevent the other possible
race conditions between pm_genpd_runtime_suspend(),
pm_genpd_runtime_resume(), pm_genpd_poweron() and pm_genpd_poweroff()
from happening and it needs to avoid deadlocks at the same time.
To this end, modify the generic PM domains code to relax
synchronization rules so that:
* pm_genpd_poweron() doesn't wait for the PM domain status to
change from GPD_STATE_BUSY. If it finds that the status is
not GPD_STATE_POWER_OFF, it returns without powering the domain on
(it may modify the status depending on the circumstances).
* pm_genpd_poweroff() returns as soon as it finds that the PM
domain's status changed from GPD_STATE_BUSY after it's released
the PM domain's lock.
* pm_genpd_runtime_suspend() doesn't wait for the PM domain status
to change from GPD_STATE_BUSY after executing the domain's
.stop_device() callback and executes pm_genpd_poweroff() only
if pm_genpd_runtime_resume() is not executed in parallel.
* pm_genpd_runtime_resume() doesn't wait for the PM domain status
to change from GPD_STATE_BUSY after executing pm_genpd_poweron()
and sets the domain's status to GPD_STATE_BUSY and increments its
counter of resuming devices (introduced by this change) immediately
after acquiring the lock. The counter of resuming devices is then
decremented after executing __pm_genpd_runtime_resume() for the
device and the domain's status is reset to GPD_STATE_ACTIVE (unless
there are more resuming devices in the domain, in which case the
status remains GPD_STATE_BUSY).
This way, for example, if a device driver's .runtime_resume()
callback executes pm_runtime_resume() for another device in the same
PM domain, pm_genpd_poweron() called by pm_genpd_runtime_resume()
invoked by the runtime PM framework will not block and it will see
that there's nothing to do for it. Next, the PM domain's lock will
be acquired without waiting for its status to change from
GPD_STATE_BUSY and the device driver's .runtime_resume() callback
will be executed. In turn, if pm_runtime_suspend() is executed by
one device driver's .runtime_resume() callback for another device in
the same PM domain, pm_genpd_poweroff() executed by
pm_genpd_runtime_suspend() invoked by the runtime PM framework as a
result will notice that one of the devices in the domain is being
resumed, so it will return immediately.

Currently, the .start_device() and .stop_device() callbacks from
struct generic_pm_domain() as well as the device drivers' runtime PM
callbacks used by the generic PM domains code are executed under
the generic PM domain lock. This, unfortunately, is prone to
deadlocks, for example if a device and its parent are boths members
of the same PM domain. For this reason, it would be better if the
PM domains code didn't execute device callbacks under the lock.
Rework the locking in the generic PM domains code so that the lock
is dropped for the execution of device callbacks. To this end,
introduce PM domains states reflecting the current status of a PM
domain and such that the PM domain lock cannot be acquired if the
status is GPD_STATE_BUSY. Make threads attempting to acquire a PM
domain's lock wait until the status changes to either
GPD_STATE_ACTIVE or GPD_STATE_POWER_OFF.
This change by itself doesn't fix the deadlock problem mentioned
above, but the mechanism introduced by it will be used for for this
purpose by a subsequent patch.

Originally, MAX_WRITEBACK_PAGES was hard-coded to 1024 because of a
concern of not holding I_SYNC for too long. (At least, that was the
comment previously.) This doesn't make sense now because the only
time we wait for I_SYNC is if we are calling sync or fsync, and in
that case we need to write out all of the data anyway. Previously
there may have been other code paths that waited on I_SYNC, but not
any more. -- Theodore Ts'o
So remove the MAX_WRITEBACK_PAGES constraint. The writeback pages
will adapt to as large as the storage device can write within 500ms.
XFS is observed to do IO completions in a batch, and the batch size is
equal to the write chunk size. To avoid dirty pages to suddenly drop
out of balance_dirty_pages()'s dirty control scope and create large
fluctuations, the chunk size is also limited to half the control scope.
The balance_dirty_pages() control scrope is
[(background_thresh + dirty_thresh) / 2, dirty_thresh]
which is by default [15%, 20%] of global dirty pages, whose range size
is dirty_thresh / DIRTY_FULL_SCOPE.
The adpative write chunk size will be rounded to the nearest 4MB
boundary.

The max-pause limit helps to keep the sleep time inside
balance_dirty_pages() within MAX_PAUSE=200ms. The 200ms max sleep means
per task rate limit of 8pages/200ms=160KB/s when dirty exceeded, which
normally is enough to stop dirtiers from continue pushing the dirty
pages high, unless there are a sufficient large number of slow dirtiers
(eg. 500 tasks doing 160KB/s will still sum up to 80MB/s, exceeding the
write bandwidth of a slow disk and hence accumulating more and more dirty
pages).
The pass-good limit helps to let go of the good bdi's in the presence of
a blocked bdi (ie. NFS server not responding) or slow USB disk which for
some reason build up a large number of initial dirty pages that refuse
to go away anytime soon.
For example, given two bdi's A and B and the initial state
bdi_thresh_A = dirty_thresh / 2
bdi_thresh_B = dirty_thresh / 2
bdi_dirty_A = dirty_thresh / 2
bdi_dirty_B = dirty_thresh / 2
Then A get blocked, after a dozen seconds
bdi_thresh_A = 0
bdi_thresh_B = dirty_thresh
bdi_dirty_A = dirty_thresh / 2
bdi_dirty_B = dirty_thresh / 2
The (bdi_dirty_B < bdi_thresh_B) test is now useless and the dirty pages
will be effectively throttled by condition (nr_dirty < dirty_thresh).
This has two problems:
(1) we lose the protections for light dirtiers
(2) balance_dirty_pages() effectively becomes IO-less because the
(bdi_nr_reclaimable > bdi_thresh) test won't be true. This is good
for IO, but balance_dirty_pages() loses an important way to break
out of the loop which leads to more spread out throttle delays.
DIRTY_PASSGOOD_AREA can eliminate the above issues. The only problem is,
DIRTY_PASSGOOD_AREA needs to be defined as 2 to fully cover the above
example while this patch uses the more conservative value 8 so as not to
surprise people with too many dirty pages than expected.
The max-pause limit won't noticeably impact the speed dirty pages are
knocked down when there is a sudden drop of global/bdi dirty thresholds.
Because the heavy dirties will be throttled below 160KB/s which is slow
enough. It does help to avoid long dirty throttle delays and especially
will make light dirtiers more responsive.

The start of a heavy weight application (ie. KVM) may instantly knock
down determine_dirtyable_memory() if the swap is not enabled or full.
global_dirty_limits() and bdi_dirty_limit() will in turn get global/bdi
dirty thresholds that are _much_ lower than the global/bdi dirty pages.
balance_dirty_pages() will then heavily throttle all dirtiers including
the light ones, until the dirty pages drop below the new dirty thresholds.
During this _deep_ dirty-exceeded state, the system may appear rather
unresponsive to the users.
About "deep" dirty-exceeded: task_dirty_limit() assigns 1/8 lower dirty
threshold to heavy dirtiers than light ones, and the dirty pages will
be throttled around the heavy dirtiers' dirty threshold and reasonably
below the light dirtiers' dirty threshold. In this state, only the heavy
dirtiers will be throttled and the dirty pages are carefully controlled
to not exceed the light dirtiers' dirty threshold. However if the
threshold itself suddenly drops below the number of dirty pages, the
light dirtiers will get heavily throttled.
So introduce global_dirty_limit for tracking the global dirty threshold
with policies
- follow downwards slowly
- follow up in one shot
global_dirty_limit can effectively mask out the impact of sudden drop of
dirtyable memory. It will be used in the next patch for two new type of
dirty limits. Note that the new dirty limits are not going to avoid
throttling the light dirtiers, but could limit their sleep time to 200ms.

The estimation value will start from 100MB/s and adapt to the real
bandwidth in seconds.
It tries to update the bandwidth only when disk is fully utilized.
Any inactive period of more than one second will be skipped.
The estimated bandwidth will be reflecting how fast the device can
writeout when _fully utilized_, and won't drop to 0 when it goes idle.
The value will remain constant at disk idle time. At busy write time, if
not considering fluctuations, it will also remain high unless be knocked
down by possible concurrent reads that compete for the disk time and
bandwidth with async writes.
The estimation is not done purely in the flusher because there is no
guarantee for write_cache_pages() to return timely to update bandwidth.
The bdi->avg_write_bandwidth smoothing is very effective for filtering
out sudden spikes, however may be a little biased in long term.
The overheads are low because the bdi bandwidth update only occurs at
200ms intervals.
The 200ms update interval is suitable, because it's not possible to get
the real bandwidth for the instance at all, due to large fluctuations.
The NFS commits can be as large as seconds worth of data. One XFS
completion may be as large as half second worth of data if we are going
to increase the write chunk to half second worth of data. In ext4,
fluctuations with time period of around 5 seconds is observed. And there
is another pattern of irregular periods of up to 20 seconds on SSD tests.
That's why we are not only doing the estimation at 200ms intervals, but
also averaging them over a period of 3 seconds and then go further to do
another level of smoothing in avg_write_bandwidth.

Pass struct wb_writeback_work all the way down to writeback_sb_inodes(),

struct writeback_control is basically designed to control writeback of a
single file, but we keep abuse it for writing multiple files in
writeback_sb_inodes() and its callers.
It immediately clean things up, e.g. suddenly wbc.nr_to_write vs
work->nr_pages starts to make sense, and instead of saving and restoring
pages_skipped in writeback_sb_inodes it can always start with a clean
zero value.
It also makes a neat IO pattern change: large dirty files are now
written in the full 4MB writeback chunk size, rather than whatever

This workaround aims to break the deadlock situation
which raises during continuous transfer of data for long
duration over uart with hardware flow control. It is
observed that CTS interrupt cannot be cleared in uart
interrupt register (ICR). Hence further transfer over
uart gets blocked.
It is seen that during such deadlock condition ICR
don't get cleared even on multiple write. This leads
pass_counter to decrease and finally reach zero. This
can be taken as trigger point to run this UART_BT_WA.

When I test fio script with big I/O depth, I found the total throughput drops
compared to some relative small I/O depth. The reason is the thread accumulates
big requests in its plug list and causes some delays (surely this depends
on CPU speed).
I thought we'd better have a threshold for requests. When a threshold reaches,
this means there is no request merge and queue lock contention isn't severe
when pushing per-task requests to queue, so the main advantages of blk plug
don't exist. We can force a plug list flush in this case.
With this, my test throughput actually increases and almost equals to small
I/O depth. Another side effect is irq off time decreases in blk_flush_plug_list()
for big I/O depth.
The BLK_MAX_REQUEST_COUNT is choosen arbitarily, but 16 is efficiently to

I tested the uncaching by the following means:
(1) Create a big file on my NFS server (104857600 bytes).
(2) Read the file into the cache with md5sum on the NFS client. Look in
/proc/fs/fscache/stats:
Pages : mrk=25601 unc=0
(3) Open the file for read/write ("bash 5<>/warthog/bigfile"). Look in proc
again:
Pages : mrk=25601 unc=25601

Well _count exists in two unionized structs but always has the same offset
within the larger struct. Maybe ARM creates different offsets there for
some reason?
The following is a patch to restructure the union / structs combo in such
a way that only a single definition of _count

This fixes a regression introduced by e59347a "arm: orion:
Use generic irq chip".
Depending on the device, interrupts acknowledgement is done by setting
or by clearing a dedicated register. Replace irq_gc_ack() with some
{set,clr}_bit variants allows to handle both cases.
Note that this patch affects the following SoCs: Davinci, Samsung and
Orion. Except for this last, the change is minor: irq_gc_ack() is just
renamed into irq_gc_ack_set_bit().
For the Orion SoCs, the edge GPIO interrupts support is currently
broken. irq_gc_ack() try to acknowledge a such interrupt by setting
the corresponding cause register bit. The Orion GPIO device expect the
opposite. To fix this issue, the irq_gc_ack_clr_bit() variant is used.
Tested on Network Space v2.

This patch adds userspace buffers support in skb shared info. A new
struct skb_ubuf_info is needed to maintain the userspace buffers
argument and index, a callback is used to notify userspace to release
the buffers once lower device has done DMA (Last reference to that skb
has gone).
If there is any userspace apps to reference these userspace buffers,
then these userspaces buffers will be copied into kernel. This way we
can prevent userspace apps from holding these userspace buffers too long.
Use destructor_arg to point to the userspace buffer info; a new tx flags
SKBTX_DEV_ZEROCOPY is added for zero-copy buffer check.
