c3f8a40c1c quota: Introduce writeout_quota_sb() (version 4)
Introduce this function which just writes all the quota structures but
avoids all the syncing and cache pruning work to expose quota structures
to userspace. Use this function from __sync_filesystem when wait == 0.

850b201b08 quota: cleanup dquota sync functions (version 4)
Currently the VFS calls vfs_dq_sync to sync out disk quotas for a given
superblock.  This is a small wrapper around sync_dquots which for the
case of a non-NULL superblock is a small wrapper around quota_sync_sb.

Just make quota_sync_sb global (rename it to sync_quota_sb) and call it
directly.  Also call it directly for those cases in quota.c that have a
superblock and leave sync_dquots purely an iterator over sync_quota_sb and
remove it's superblock argument.

To make this nicer move the check for the lack of a quota_sync method
from the callers into sync_quota_sb.

5cee5815d1 vfs: Make sys_sync() use fsync_super() (version 4)
It is unnecessarily fragile to have two places (fsync_super() and do_sync())
doing data integrity sync of the filesystem. Alter __fsync_super() to
accommodate needs of both callers and use it. So after this patch
__fsync_super() is the only place where we gather all the calls needed to
properly send all data on a filesystem to disk.

Nice bonus is that we get a complete livelock avoidance and write_supers()
is now only used for periodic writeback of superblocks.

sync_blockdevs() introduced a couple of patches ago is gone now.

429479f031 vfs: Make __fsync_super() a static function (version 4)
__fsync_super() does the same thing as fsync_super(). So change the only
caller to use fsync_super() and make __fsync_super() static. This removes
unnecessarily duplicated call to sync_blockdev() and prepares ground
for the changes to __fsync_super() in the following patches.

bfe881255c vfs: Call ->sync_fs() even if s_dirt is 0 (version 4)
sync_filesystems() has a condition that if wait == 0 and s_dirt == 0, then
->sync_fs() isn't called. This does not really make much sence since s_dirt is
generally used by a filesystem to mean that ->write_super() needs to be called.
But ->sync_fs() does different things. I even suspect that some filesystems
(btrfs?) sets s_dirt just to fool this logic.

5a3e5cb8e0 vfs: Fix sys_sync() and fsync_super() reliability (version 4)
So far, do_sync() called:
  sync_inodes(0);
  sync_supers();
  sync_filesystems(0);
  sync_filesystems(1);
  sync_inodes(1);

This ordering makes it kind of hard for filesystems as sync_inodes(0) need not
submit all the IO (for example it skips inodes with I_SYNC set) so e.g. forcing
transaction to disk in ->sync_fs() is not really enough. Therefore sys_sync has
not been completely reliable on some filesystems (ext3, ext4, reiserfs, ocfs2
and others are hit by this) when racing e.g. with background writeback. A
similar problem hits also other filesystems (e.g. ext2) because of
write_supers() being called before the sync_inodes(1).

Change the ordering of calls in do_sync() - this requires a new function
sync_blockdevs() to preserve the property that block devices are always synced
after write_super() / sync_fs() call.

The same issue is fixed in __fsync_super() function used on umount /
remount read-only.

96029c4e09 fs: introduce mnt_clone_write
This patch speeds up lmbench lat_mmap test by about another 2% after the
first patch.

Before:
 avg = 462.286
 std = 5.46106

After:
 avg = 453.12
 std = 9.58257

(50 runs of each, stddev gives a reasonable confidence)

It does this by introducing mnt_clone_write, which avoids some heavyweight
operations of mnt_want_write if called on a vfsmount which we know already
has a write count; and mnt_want_write_file, which can call mnt_clone_write
if the file is open for write.

After these two patches, mnt_want_write and mnt_drop_write go from 7% on
the profile down to 1.3% (including mnt_clone_write).

[AV: mnt_want_write_file() should take file alone and derive mnt from it;
not only all callers have that form, but that's the only mnt about which
we know that it's already held for write if file is opened for write]

d3ef3d7351 fs: mnt_want_write speedup
This patch speeds up lmbench lat_mmap test by about 8%. lat_mmap is set up
basically to mmap a 64MB file on tmpfs, fault in its pages, then unmap it.
A microbenchmark yes, but it exercises some important paths in the mm.

Before:
 avg = 501.9
 std = 14.7773

After:
 avg = 462.286
 std = 5.46106

(50 runs of each, stddev gives a reasonable confidence, but there is quite
a bit of variation there still)

It does this by removing the complex per-cpu locking and counter-cache and
replaces it with a percpu counter in struct vfsmount. This makes the code
much simpler, and avoids spinlocks (although the msync is still pretty
costly, unfortunately). It results in about 900 bytes smaller code too. It
does increase the size of a vfsmount, however.

It should also give a speedup on large systems if CPUs are frequently operating
on different mounts (because the existing scheme has to operate on an atomic in
the struct vfsmount when switching between mounts). But I'm most interested in
the single threaded path performance for the moment.

New field: nd->root.  When pathname resolution wants to know the root,
check if nd->root.mnt is non-NULL; use nd->root if it is, otherwise
copy current->fs->root there.  After path_walk() is finished, we check
if we'd got a cached value in nd->root and drop it.  Before calling
path_walk() we should either set nd->root.mnt to NULL *or* copy (and
pin down) some path to nd->root.  In the latter case we won't be
looking at current->fs->root at all.

1ef5f13c6c fsnotify: fsnotify marks on inodes pin them in core
This patch pins any inodes with an fsnotify mark in core.  The idea is that
as soon as the mark is removed from the inode->fsnotify_mark_entries list
the inode will be iput.  In reality is doesn't quite work exactly this way.
The igrab will happen when the mark is added to an inode, but the iput will
happen when the inode pointer is NULL'd inside the mark.

It's possible that 2 racing things will try to remove the mark from
different directions.  One may try to remove the mark because of an
explicit request and one might try to remove it because the inode was
deleted.  It's possible that the removal because of inode deletion will
remove the mark from the inode's list, but the removal by explicit request
will actually set entry->inode == NULL; and call the iput.  This is safe.

3be25f49b9 fsnotify: add marks to inodes so groups can interpret how to handle those inodes
This patch creates a way for fsnotify groups to attach marks to inodes.
These marks have little meaning to the generic fsnotify infrastructure
and thus their meaning should be interpreted by the group that attached
them to the inode's list.

dnotify and inotify  will make use of these markings to indicate which
inodes are of interest to their respective groups.  But this implementation
has the useful property that in the future other listeners could actually
use the marks for the exact opposite reason, aka to indicate which inodes
it had NO interest in.

90586523eb fsnotify: unified filesystem notification backend
fsnotify is a backend for filesystem notification.  fsnotify does
not provide any userspace interface but does provide the basis
needed for other notification schemes such as dnotify.  fsnotify
can be extended to be the backend for inotify or the upcoming
fanotify.  fsnotify provides a mechanism for "groups" to register for
some set of filesystem events and to then deliver those events to
those groups for processing.

fsnotify has a number of benefits, the first being actually shrinking the size
of an inode.  Before fsnotify to support both dnotify and inotify an inode had

        unsigned long           i_dnotify_mask; /* Directory notify events */
        struct dnotify_struct   *i_dnotify; /* for directory notifications */
        struct list_head        inotify_watches; /* watches on this inode */
        struct mutex            inotify_mutex;  /* protects the watches list

But with fsnotify this same functionallity (and more) is done with just

        __u32                   i_fsnotify_mask; /* all events for this inode */
        struct hlist_head       i_fsnotify_mark_entries; /* marks on this inode */

That's right, inotify, dnotify, and fanotify all in 64 bits.  We used that
much space just in inotify_watches alone, before this patch set.

fsnotify object lifetime and locking is MUCH better than what we have today.
inotify locking is incredibly complex.  See 8f7b0ba1c8 as an example of
what's been busted since inception.  inotify needs to know internal semantics
of superblock destruction and unmounting to function.  The inode pinning and
vfs contortions are horrible.

no fsnotify implementers do allocation under locks.  This means things like
f04b30de3 which (due to an overabundance of caution) changes GFP_KERNEL to
GFP_NOFS can be reverted.  There are no longer any allocation rules when using
or implementing your own fsnotify listener.

fsnotify paves the way for fanotify.  In brief fanotify is a notification
mechanism that delivers the lisener both an 'event' and an open file descriptor
to the object in question.  This means that fanotify is pathname agnostic.
Some on lkml may not care for the original companies or users that pushed for
TALPA, but fanotify was designed with flexibility and input for other users in
mind.  The readahead group expressed interest in fanotify as it could be used
to profile disk access on boot without breaking the audit system.  The desktop
search groups have also expressed interest in fanotify as it solves a number
of the race conditions and problems present with managing inotify when more
than a limited number of specific files are of interest.  fanotify can provide
for a userspace access control system which makes it a clean interface for AV
vendors to hook without trying to do binary patching on the syscall table,
LSM, and everywhere else they do their things today.  With this patch series
fanotify can be implemented in less than 1200 lines of easy to review code.
Almost all of which is the socket based user interface.

This patch series builds fsnotify to the point that it can implement
dnotify and inotify_user.  Patches exist and will be sent soon after
acceptance to finish the in kernel inotify conversion (audit) and implement
fanotify.

b263c2c8bf Btrfs: fix extent_buffer leak during tree log replay
During tree log replay, we read in the tree log roots,
process them and then free them.  A recent change
takes an extra reference on the root node of the tree
when the root is read in, and stores that reference
in root->commit_root.

This reference was not being freed, leaving us with
one buffer pinned in ram for each subvol with
a tree log root after a crash.

4eedeb75e7 Btrfs: pin buffers during write_dev_supers
write_dev_supers is called in sequence.  First is it called with wait == 0,
which starts IO on all of the super blocks for a given device.  Then it is
called with wait == 1 to make sure they all reach the disk.

It doesn't currently pin the buffers between the two calls, and it also
assumes the buffers won't go away between the two calls, leading to
an oops if the VM manages to free the buffers in the middle of the sync.

This fixes that assumption and updates the code to return an error if things
are not up to date when the wait == 1 run is done.

e5e9a5206a Btrfs: avoid races between super writeout and device list updates
On multi-device filesystems, btrfs writes supers to all of the devices
before considering a sync complete.  There wasn't any additional
locking between super writeout and the device list management code
because device management was done inside a transaction and
super writeout only happened  with no transation writers running.

With the btrfs fsync log and other async transaction updates, this
has been racey for some time.  This adds a mutex to protect
the device list.  The existing volume mutex could not be reused due to
transaction lock ordering requirements.

Add support for the standard attributes set via chattr and read via

the btrfs inode, but I wonder whether we should split it into two so
that we don't have to keep converting between the two formats.

Remove the btrfs_clear_flag/btrfs_set_flag/btrfs_test_flag macros

d644d8a1e3 Btrfs: avoid IO stalls behind congested devices in a multi-device FS
The btrfs IO submission threads try to service a bunch of devices with a small
number of threads.  They do a congestion check to try and avoid waiting
on requests for a busy device.

The checks make sure we've sent a few requests down to a given device just so
that we aren't bouncing between busy devices without actually sending down
any IO.  The counter used to decide if we can switch to the next device
is somewhat overloaded.  It is also being used to decide if we've done
a good batch of requests between the WRITE_SYNC or regular priority lists.
It may get reset to zero often, leaving us hammering on a busy device
instead of moving on to another disk.

This commit adds a new counter for the number of bios sent while
servicing a device.  It doesn't get reset or fiddled with.  On
multi-device filesystems, this fixes IO stalls in streaming
write workloads.

d84275c938 Btrfs: don't allow WRITE_SYNC bios to starve out regular writes
Btrfs uses dedicated threads to submit bios when checksumming is on,
which allows us to make sure the threads dedicated to checksumming don't get
stuck waiting for requests.  For each btrfs device, there are
two lists of bios.  One list is for WRITE_SYNC bios and the other
is for regular priority bios.

The IO submission threads used to process all of the WRITE_SYNC bios first and
then switch to the regular bios.  This commit makes sure we don't completely
starve the regular bios by rotating between the two lists.

WRITE_SYNC bios are still favored 2:1 over the regular bios, and this tries
to run in batches to avoid seeking.  Benchmarking shows this eliminates
stalls during streaming buffered writes on both multi-device and
single device filesystems.

If the regular bios starve, the system can end up with a large amount of ram
pinned down in writeback pages.  If we are a little more fair between the two
classes, we're able to keep throughput up and make progress on the bulk of
our dirty ram.

b361242102 Btrfs: stop avoiding balancing at the end of the transaction.
When the delayed reference code was added, some checks were added
to avoid extra balancing while the delayed references were being flushed.
This made for less efficient btrees, but it reduced the chances of
loops where no forward progress was made because the balances made
more delayed ref updates.

With the new dead root removal code and the mixed back references,
the extent allocation tree is no longer using precise back refs, and
the delayed reference updates don't carry the risk of looping forever
anymore.  So, the balance avoidance is no longer required.

5d4f98a28c Btrfs: Mixed back reference (FORWARD ROLLING FORMAT CHANGE)
This commit introduces a new kind of back reference for btrfs metadata.
Once a filesystem has been mounted with this commit, IT WILL NO LONGER
BE MOUNTABLE BY OLDER KERNELS.

When a tree block in subvolume tree is cow'd, the reference counts of all
extents it points to are increased by one.  At transaction commit time,
the old root of the subvolume is recorded in a "dead root" data structure,
and the btree it points to is later walked, dropping reference counts
and freeing any blocks where the reference count goes to 0.

The increments done during cow and decrements done after commit cancel out,
and the walk is a very expensive way to go about freeing the blocks that
are no longer referenced by the new btree root.  This commit reduces the
transaction overhead by avoiding the need for dead root records.

When a non-shared tree block is cow'd, we free the old block at once, and the
new block inherits old block's references. When a tree block with reference
count > 1 is cow'd, we increase the reference counts of all extents
the new block points to by one, and decrease the old block's reference count by
one.

This dead tree avoidance code removes the need to modify the reference
counts of lower level extents when a non-shared tree block is cow'd.
But we still need to update back ref for all pointers in the block.
This is because the location of the block is recorded in the back ref
item.

We can solve this by introducing a new type of back ref. The new
back ref provides information about pointer's key, level and in which
tree the pointer lives. This information allow us to find the pointer
by searching the tree. The shortcoming of the new back ref is that it
only works for pointers in tree blocks referenced by their owner trees.

This is mostly a problem for snapshots, where resolving one of these
fuzzy back references would be O(number_of_snapshots) and quite slow.
The solution used here is to use the fuzzy back references in the common
case where a given tree block is only referenced by one root,
and use the full back references when multiple roots have a reference
on a given block.

This commit adds per subvolume red-black tree to keep trace of cached
inodes. The red-black tree helps the balancing code to find cached
inodes whose inode numbers within a given range.

This commit improves the balancing code by introducing several data
structures to keep the state of balancing. The most important one
is the back ref cache. It caches how the upper level tree blocks are
referenced. This greatly reduce the overhead of checking back ref.

The improved balancing code scales significantly better with a large
number of snapshots.

This is a very large commit and was written in a number of
pieces.  But, they depend heavily on the disk format change and were
squashed together to make sure git bisect didn't end up in a
bad state wrt space balancing or the format change.

a61d90d75d jbd: fix race in buffer processing in commit code
In commit code, we scan buffers attached to a transaction.  During this
scan, we sometimes have to drop j_list_lock and then we recheck whether
the journal buffer head didn't get freed by journal_try_to_free_buffers().
 But checking for buffer_jbd(bh) isn't enough because a new journal head
could get attached to our buffer head.  So add a check whether the journal
head remained the same and whether it's still at the same transaction and
list.

This is a nasty bug and can cause problems like memory corruption (use after
free) or trigger various assertions in JBD code (observed).

463aea1a1c autofs4: remove hashed check in validate_wait()
The recent ->lookup() deadlock correction required the directory inode
mutex to be dropped while waiting for expire completion.  We were
concerned about side effects from this change and one has been identified.

I saw several error messages.

They cause autofs to become quite confused and don't really point to the
actual problem.

Things like:

handle_packet_missing_direct:1376: can't find map entry for (43,1827932)

which is usually totally fatal (although in this case it wouldn't be
except that I treat is as such because it normally is).

do_mount_direct: direct trigger not valid or already mounted
/test/nested/g3c/s1/ss1

which is recoverable, however if this problem is at play it can cause
autofs to become quite confused as to the dependencies in the mount tree
because mount triggers end up mounted multiple times.  It's hard to
accurately check for this over mounting case and automount shouldn't need
to if the kernel module is doing its job.

There was one other message, similar in consequence of this last one but I
can't locate a log example just now.

When checking if a mount has already completed prior to adding a new mount
request to the wait queue we check if the dentry is hashed and, if so, if
it is a mount point.  But, if a mount successfully completed while we
slept on the wait queue mutex the dentry must exist for the mount to have
completed so the test is not really needed.

Mounts can also be done on top of a global root dentry, so for the above
case, where a mount request completes and the wait queue entry has already
been removed, the hashed test returning false can cause an incorrect
callback to the daemon.  Also, d_mountpoint() is not sufficient to check
if a mount has completed for the multi-mount case when we don't have a
real mount at the base of the tree.

55782138e4 tracing/events: convert block trace points to TRACE_EVENT()
TRACE_EVENT is a more generic way to define tracepoints. Doing so adds
these new capabilities to this tracepoint:

  - zero-copy and per-cpu splice() tracing
  - binary tracing without printf overhead
  - structured logging records exposed under /debug/tracing/events
  - trace events embedded in function tracer output and other plugins
  - user-defined, per tracepoint filter expressions
  ...

Cons:

  - no dev_t info for the output of plug, unplug_timer and unplug_io events.
    no dev_t info for getrq and sleeprq events if bio == NULL.
    no dev_t info for rq_abort,...,rq_requeue events if rq->rq_disk == NULL.

    This is mainly because we can't get the deivce from a request queue.
    But this may change in the future.

  - A packet command is converted to a string in TP_assign, not TP_print.
    While blktrace do the convertion just before output.

    Since pc requests should be rather rare, this is not a big issue.

  - In blktrace, an event can have 2 different print formats, but a TRACE_EVENT
    has a unique format, which means we have some unused data in a trace entry.

    The overhead is minimized by using __dynamic_array() instead of __array().

I've benchmarked the ioctl blktrace vs the splice based TRACE_EVENT tracing:

      dd                   dd + ioctl blktrace       dd + TRACE_EVENT (splice)
1     7.36s, 42.7 MB/s     7.50s, 42.0 MB/s          7.41s, 42.5 MB/s
2     7.43s, 42.3 MB/s     7.48s, 42.1 MB/s          7.43s, 42.4 MB/s
3     7.38s, 42.6 MB/s     7.45s, 42.2 MB/s          7.41s, 42.5 MB/s

So the overhead of tracing is very small, and no regression when using
those trace events vs blktrace.

And the binary output of TRACE_EVENT is much smaller than blktrace:

 # ls -l -h
 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8.8M 06-09 13:24 sda.blktrace.0
 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 195K 06-09 13:24 sda.blktrace.1

9aee228607 ext4: fix dx_map_entry to support 256k directory blocks
The dx_map_entry structure doesn't support over 64KB block size by
current usage of its member("offs"). Because "offs" treats an offset
of copies of the ext4_dir_entry_2 structure as is. This member size is
16 bits. But real offset for over 64KB(256KB) block size needs 18
bits. However, real offset keeps 4 byte boundary, so lower 2 bits is
not used.

Therefore, we do the following to fix this limitation:
For "store": 
	we divide the real offset by 4 and then store this result to "offs" 
	member.
For "use":
	we multiply "offs" member by 4 and then use this result 
	as real offset.

4ae1507f6d cifs: make overriding of ownership conditional on new mount options
We have a bit of a problem with the uid= option. The basic issue is that
it means too many things and has too many side-effects.

It's possible to allow an unprivileged user to mount a filesystem if the
user owns the mountpoint, /bin/mount is setuid root, and the mount is
set up in /etc/fstab with the "user" option.

When doing this though, /bin/mount automatically adds the "uid=" and
"gid=" options to the share. This is fortunate since the correct uid=
option is needed in order to tell the upcall what user's credcache to
use when generating the SPNEGO blob.

On a mount without unix extensions this is fine -- you generally will
want the files to be owned by the "owner" of the mount. The problem
comes in on a mount with unix extensions. With those enabled, the
uid/gid options cause the ownership of files to be overriden even though
the server is sending along the ownership info.

This means that it's not possible to have a mount by an unprivileged
user that shows the server's file ownership info. The result is also
inode permissions that have no reflection at all on the server. You
simply cannot separate ownership from the mode in this fashion.

This behavior also makes MultiuserMount option less usable. Once you
pass in the uid= option for a mount, then you can't use unix ownership
info and allow someone to share the mount.

While I'm not thrilled with it, the only solution I can see is to stop
making uid=/gid= force the overriding of ownership on mounts, and to add
new mount options that turn this behavior on.
