/proc/kcore has its own routine to access vmallc area. It can be replaced
with vread(). And by this, /proc/kcore can do safe access to vmalloc
area.

The patch makes the clear_refs more versatile in adding the option to
select anonymous pages or file backed pages for clearing. This addition
has a measurable impact on user space application performance as it
decreases the number of pagewalks in scenarios where one is only
interested in a specific type of page (anonymous or file mapped).
The patch adds anonymous and file backed filters to the clear_refs interface.
echo 1 > /proc/PID/clear_refs resets the bits on all pages
echo 2 > /proc/PID/clear_refs resets the bits on anonymous pages only
echo 3 > /proc/PID/clear_refs resets the bits on file backed pages only

KSM will need to identify its kernel merged pages unambiguously, and
/proc/kpageflags will probably like to do so too.
Since KSM will only be substituting anonymous pages, statistics are best
preserved by making a PageKsm page a special PageAnon page: one with no
anon_vma.
But KSM then needs its own page_add_ksm_rmap() - keep it in ksm.h near
PageKsm; and do_wp_page() must COW them, unlike singly mapped PageAnons.

Recently we encountered OOM problems due to memory use of the GEM cache.
Generally a large amuont of Shmem/Tmpfs pages tend to create a memory
shortage problem.
We often use the following calculation to determine the amount of shmem
pages:
shmem = NR_ACTIVE_ANON + NR_INACTIVE_ANON - NR_ANON_PAGES
however the expression does not consider isolated and mlocked pages.
This patch adds explicit accounting for pages used by shmem and tmpfs.

In theory it could happen that on one CPU we initialize a new inode but
clearing of I_NEW | I_LOCK gets reordered before some of the
initialization. Thus on another CPU we return not fully uptodate inode
from iget_locked().
This seems to fix a corruption issue on ext3 mounted over NFS.

perf_counter: Rename 'event' to event_id/hw_event

writeback: don't use schedule_timeout() without setting runstate

|

NFS may free the server structure without ever having used the
bdi, so we either need to flag the bdi as being uninitialized or
initialize it up front. This does the latter.
This fixes a crash with mounting more than one NFS file system,
should people ever need that kind of obscure NFS functionality.

Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events!
In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its
initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is
becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging,
monitoring, analysis facility.
Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem
'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending
code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and
less appropriate.
All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance
events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables
and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion)
The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes
it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.
Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and
suggested a rename.
User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch
should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to
keep the size down.)
This patch has been generated via the following script:
FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')
sed -i \
-e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \
-e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \
-e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \
-e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \
-e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \
-e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \
$FILES
for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do
M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g')
mv $N $M
done
FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*)
sed -i \
-e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \
-e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \
-e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \
-e 's/counter/event/g' \
-e 's/Counter/Event/g' \
$FILES
... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be
used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts
a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this
change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches
is the smallest: the end of the merge window.
Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some
stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch.
( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal
with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit
over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but
in case there's something left where 'counter' would be
better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis
instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. )

In an attempt to avoid doing an unneeded flush after opening a
(previously non-existent) file with O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, the code only
triggered the hueristic if ei->disksize was non-zero. Turns out that
the VFS doesn't call ->truncate() if the file doesn't exist, and
ei->disksize is always zero even if the file previously existed. So
remove the test, since it isn't necessary and in fact disabled the
hueristic.

EXT4_EXT_MIGRATE is only intended to be used for an in-memory flag,
and the hex value assigned to it collides with FS_DIRECTIO_FL (which
is also stored in i_flags). There's no reason for the
EXT4_EXT_MIGRATE bit to be stored in i_flags, so we switch it to use
i_state instead.

Today, the ext4 allocator will happily allocate blocks past
2^32 for indirect-block files, which results in the block
numbers getting truncated, and corruption ensues.
This patch limits such allocations to < 2^32, and adds
BUG_ONs if we do get blocks larger than that.
This should address RH Bug 519471, ext4 bitmap allocator
must limit blocks to < 2^32
* ext4_find_goal() is modified to choose a goal < UINT_MAX,
so that our starting point is in an acceptable range.
* ext4_xattr_block_set() is modified such that the goal block
is < UINT_MAX, as above.
* ext4_mb_regular_allocator() is modified so that the group
search does not continue into groups which are too high
* ext4_mb_use_preallocated() has a check that we don't use
preallocated space which is too far out
* ext4_alloc_blocks() and ext4_xattr_block_set() add some BUG_ONs
No attempt has been made to limit inode locations to < 2^32,
so we may wind up with blocks far from their inodes. Doing
this much already will lead to some odd ENOSPC issues when the
"lower 32" gets full, and further restricting inodes could
make that even weirder.
For high inodes, choosing a goal of the original, % UINT_MAX,
may be a bit odd, but then we're in an odd situation anyway,
and I don't know of a better heuristic.

If logical block offset of original file which is passed to
EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT is different from donor file's,
a calculation error occurs in ext4_calc_swap_extents(),
therefore wrong block is exchanged between original file and donor file.
As a result, we hit ext4_error() in check_block_validity().
To detect the logical offset difference in EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT,
add checks to mext_calc_swap_extents() and handle it as error,
since data exchange must be done between the same blocks in EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT.

There is the possibility that path structure which is taken
by ext4_ext_find_extent() indicates null extents.
Because during data block exchanging in ext4_move_extents(),

In case we fsync() a file and inode is not dirty, we don't force a transaction

I've been struggling with this off and on while I've been testing the
data=guarded work. The symptom is corrupted orphan lists and inodes
with the wrong i_size stored on disk. I was convinced the
data=guarded code was just missing a call to ext3_mark_inode_dirty, but
tracing showed the i_disksize I was sending to ext3_mark_inode_dirty
wasn't actually making it to the drive.
ext3_mark_inode_dirty can be called without locks held (atime updates
and a few others), so the data=guarded code uses locks while updating
the in-memory inode, and then calls ext3_mark_inode_dirty
without any locks held.
But, ext3_mark_inode_dirty has no internal locking to make sure that
only one CPU is updating the buffer head at a time. Generally this
works out ok because everyone that changes the inode then calls
ext3_mark_inode_dirty themselves. Even though it races, eventually
someone updates the buffer heads and things move on.
But there is still a risk of the wrong values getting in, and the
data=guarded code seems to hit the race very often.
Since everyone that changes the inode also logs it, it should be
possible to fix this with some memory barriers. I'll leave that as an
exercise to the reader and lock the buffer head instead.
It it probably a good idea to have a different patch series for lockless
bit flipping on the ext3 i_state field. ext3_do_update_inode &= clears
EXT3_STATE_NEW without any locks held.

During truncate we are sometimes forced to start a new transaction as the
amount of blocks to be journaled is both quite large and hard to predict. So
far we restarted a transaction while holding truncate_mutex and that violates
lock ordering because truncate_mutex ranks below transaction start (and it
can lead to a real deadlock with ext3_get_blocks() allocating new blocks
from ext3_writepage()).
Luckily, the problem is easy to fix: We just drop the truncate_mutex before
restarting the transaction and acquire it afterwards. We are safe to do this as
by the time ext3_truncate() is called, all the page cache for the truncated
part of the file is dropped and so writepage() cannot come and allocate new
blocks in the part of the file we are truncating. The rest of writers is
stopped by us holding i_mutex.

bdi_start_writeback() is currently split into two paths, one for
WB_SYNC_NONE and one for WB_SYNC_ALL. Add bdi_sync_writeback()
for WB_SYNC_ALL writeback and let bdi_start_writeback() handle
only WB_SYNC_NONE.
Push down the writeback_control allocation and only accept the
parameters that make sense for each function. This cleans up
the API considerably.
