5c50002963 vfs: remove unused wrapper block_page_mkwrite()
The function currently called "__block_page_mkwrite()" used to be called
"block_page_mkwrite()" until a wrapper for this function was added by:

commit 24da4fab5a ("vfs: Create __block_page_mkwrite() helper passing
	error values back")

This wrapper, the current "block_page_mkwrite()", is currently unused.
__block_page_mkwrite() is used directly by ext4, nilfs2 and xfs.

Remove the unused wrapper, rename __block_page_mkwrite() back to
block_page_mkwrite() and update the comment above block_page_mkwrite().

75dc857c46 nilfs2: avoid duplicate segment construction for fsync()
This patch removes filemap_write_and_wait_range() from nilfs_sync_file(),
because it triggers a data segment construction by calling
nilfs_writepages() with WB_SYNC_ALL.  A data segment construction does not
remove the inode from the i_dirty list and it does not clear the
NILFS_I_DIRTY flag.  Therefore nilfs_inode_dirty() still returns true,
which leads to an unnecessary duplicate segment construction in
nilfs_sync_file().

A call to filemap_write_and_wait_range() is not needed, because NILFS2
does not rely on the generic writeback mechanisms.  Instead it implements
its own mechanism to collect all dirty pages and write them into segments.
 It is more efficient to initiate the segment construction directly in
nilfs_sync_file() without the detour over filemap_write_and_wait_range().

Additionally the lock of i_mutex is not needed, because all code blocks
that are protected by i_mutex are also protected by a NILFS transaction:

  Function                i_mutex     nilfs_transaction
  ------------------------------------------------------
  nilfs_ioctl_setflags:   yes         yes
  nilfs_fiemap:           yes         no
  nilfs_write_begin:      yes         yes
  nilfs_write_end:        yes         yes
  nilfs_lookup:           yes         no
  nilfs_create:           yes         yes
  nilfs_link:             yes         yes
  nilfs_mknod:            yes         yes
  nilfs_symlink:          yes         yes
  nilfs_mkdir:            yes         yes
  nilfs_unlink:           yes         yes
  nilfs_rmdir:            yes         yes
  nilfs_rename:           yes         yes
  nilfs_setattr:          yes         yes

For nilfs_lookup() i_mutex is held for the parent directory, to protect it
from modification.  The segment construction does not modify directory
inodes, so no lock is needed.

nilfs_fiemap() reads the block layout on the disk, by using
nilfs_bmap_lookup_contig(). This is already protected by bmap->b_sem.

e2c7617ae3 nilfs2: add missing blkdev_issue_flush() to nilfs_sync_fs()
Under normal circumstances nilfs_sync_fs() writes out the super block,
which causes a flush of the underlying block device.  But this depends
on the THE_NILFS_SB_DIRTY flag, which is only set if the pointer to the
last segment crosses a segment boundary.  So if only a small amount of
data is written before the call to nilfs_sync_fs(), no flush of the
block device occurs.

In the above case an additional call to blkdev_issue_flush() is needed.
To prevent unnecessary overhead, the new flag nilfs->ns_flushed_device
is introduced, which is cleared whenever new logs are written and set
whenever the block device is flushed.  For convenience the function
nilfs_flush_device() is added, which contains the above logic.

1d1d1a7672 mm: only enforce stable page writes if the backing device requires it
Create a helper function to check if a backing device requires stable
page writes and, if so, performs the necessary wait.  Then, make it so
that all points in the memory manager that handle making pages writable
use the helper function.  This should provide stable page write support
to most filesystems, while eliminating unnecessary waiting for devices
that don't require the feature.

Before this patchset, all filesystems would block, regardless of whether
or not it was necessary.  ext3 would wait, but still generate occasional
checksum errors.  The network filesystems were left to do their own
thing, so they'd wait too.

After this patchset, all the disk filesystems except ext3 and btrfs will
wait only if the hardware requires it.  ext3 (if necessary) snapshots
pages instead of blocking, and btrfs provides its own bdi so the mm will
never wait.  Network filesystems haven't been touched, so either they
provide their own stable page guarantees or they don't block at all.
The blocking behavior is back to what it was before 3.0 if you don't
have a disk requiring stable page writes.

Here's the result of using dbench to test latency on ext2:

3.8.0-rc3:
 Operation      Count    AvgLat    MaxLat
 ----------------------------------------
 WriteX        109347     0.028    59.817
 ReadX         347180     0.004     3.391
 Flush          15514    29.828   287.283

Throughput 57.429 MB/sec  4 clients  4 procs  max_latency=287.290 ms

3.8.0-rc3 + patches:
 WriteX        105556     0.029     4.273
 ReadX         335004     0.005     4.112
 Flush          14982    30.540   298.634

Throughput 55.4496 MB/sec  4 clients  4 procs  max_latency=298.650 ms

As you can see, the maximum write latency drops considerably with this
patch enabled.  The other filesystems (ext3/ext4/xfs/btrfs) behave
similarly, but see the cover letter for those results.

041bbb6d36 ext4: fix mtime update in nodelalloc mode
Commits 5e8830dc85 and 41c4d25f78 introduced a regression into
v3.6-rc1 for ext4 in nodealloc mode, such that mtime updates would not
take place for files modified via mmap if the page was already in the
page cache.  This would also affect ext3 file systems mounted using
the ext4 file system driver.

The problem was that ext4_page_mkwrite() had a shortcut which would
avoid calling __block_page_mkwrite() under some circumstances, and the
above two commit transferred the responsibility of calling
file_update_time() to __block_page_mkwrite --- which woudln't get
called in some circumstances.

Since __block_page_mkwrite() only has three callers,
block_page_mkwrite(), ext4_page_mkwrite, and nilfs_page_mkwrite(), the
best way to solve this is to move the responsibility for calling
file_update_time() to its caller.

This problem was found via xfstests #215 with a file system mounted
with -o nodelalloc.

There are two cases that the cache flush is needed to avoid data loss
against unexpected hang or power failure.  One is sync file function (i.e.
 nilfs_sync_file) and another is checkpointing ioctl.

This issues a cache flush request to device for such cases if barrier
mount option is enabled, and makes sure data really is on persistent
storage on their completion.

02c24a8218 fs: push i_mutex and filemap_write_and_wait down into ->fsync() handlers
Btrfs needs to be able to control how filemap_write_and_wait_range() is called
in fsync to make it less of a painful operation, so push down taking i_mutex and
the calling of filemap_write_and_wait() down into the ->fsync() handlers.  Some
file systems can drop taking the i_mutex altogether it seems, like ext3 and
ocfs2.  For correctness sake I just pushed everything down in all cases to make
sure that we keep the current behavior the same for everybody, and then each
individual fs maintainer can make up their mind about what to do from there.

1cb2d38cb3 nilfs2: get rid of private page allocator
Previously, nilfs was cloning pages for mmapped region to freeze their
data and ensure consistency of checksum during writeback cycles.  A
private page allocator was used for this page cloning.  But, we no
longer need to do that since clear_page_dirty_for_io function sets up
pte so that vm_ops->page_mkwrite function is called right before the
mmapped pages are modified and nilfs_page_mkwrite function can safely
wait for the pages to be written back to disk.

So, this stops making a copy of mmapped pages during writeback, and
eliminates the private page allocation and deallocation functions from
nilfs.

3409453794 nilfs2: fix data loss in mmap page write for hole blocks
From the result of a function test of mmap, mmap write to shared pages
turned out to be broken for hole blocks.  It doesn't write out filled
blocks and the data will be lost after umount.  This is due to a bug
that the target file is not queued for log writer when filling hole
blocks.

Also, nilfs_page_mkwrite function exits normal code path even after
successfully filled hole blocks due to a change of block_page_mkwrite
function; just after nilfs was merged into the mainline,
block_page_mkwrite() started to return VM_FAULT_LOCKED instead of zero
by the patch "mm: close page_mkwrite races" (commit:
b827e496c8).  The current nilfs_page_mkwrite() is not handling
this value properly.

This corrects nilfs_page_mkwrite() and will resolve the data loss
problem in mmap write.

[This should be applied to every kernel since 2.6.30 but a fix is
 needed for 2.6.37 and prior kernels]

e3154e9748 nilfs2: get rid of nilfs_sb_info structure
This directly uses sb->s_fs_info to keep a nilfs filesystem object and
fully removes the intermediate nilfs_sb_info structure.  With this
change, the hierarchy of on-memory structures of nilfs will be
simplified as follows:

Before:
  super_block
       -> nilfs_sb_info
             -> the_nilfs
                   -> cptree --+-> nilfs_root (current file system)
                               +-> nilfs_root (snapshot A)
                               +-> nilfs_root (snapshot B)
                               :
             -> nilfs_sc_info (log writer structure)
After:
  super_block
       -> the_nilfs
             -> cptree --+-> nilfs_root (current file system)
                         +-> nilfs_root (snapshot A)
                         +-> nilfs_root (snapshot B)
                         :
             -> nilfs_sc_info (log writer structure)

The reason why we didn't design so from the beginning is because the
initial shape also differed from the above.  The early hierachy was
composed of "per-mount-point" super_block -> nilfs_sb_info pairs and a
shared nilfs object.  On the kernel 2.6.37, it was changed to the
current shape in order to unify super block instances into one per
device, and this cleanup became applicable as the result.

f30bf3e40f nilfs2: fix missed-sync issue for do_sync_mapping_range()
Chris Mason pointed out that there is a missed sync issue in
nilfs_writepages():

where WB_SYNC_NONE in do_sync_mapping_range() was replaced with
WB_SYNC_ALL by Nick's patch (commit:
ee53a891f4).

This fixes the problem by letting nilfs_writepages() write out the log of
file data within the range if sync_mode is WB_SYNC_ALL.

This involves removal of nilfs_file_aio_write() which was previously
needed to ensure O_SYNC sync writes.

9ff05123e3 nilfs2: segment constructor
This adds the segment constructor (also called log writer).

The segment constructor collects dirty buffers for every dirty inode,
makes summaries of the buffers, assigns disk block addresses to the
buffers, and then submits BIOs for the buffers.
