Now that we update the log tail LSN less frequently on transaction
completion, we pass the contention straight to the global log state lock
(l_iclog_lock) during transaction completion.
We currently have to take this lock to decrement the iclog reference
count. there is a reference count on each iclog, so we need to take þhe
global lock for all refcount changes.
When large numbers of processes are all doing small trnasctions, the iclog
reference counts will be quite high, and the state change that absolutely
requires the l_iclog_lock is the except rather than the norm.
Change the reference counting on the iclogs to use atomic_inc/dec so that
we can use atomic_dec_and_lock during transaction completion and avoid the
need for grabbing the l_iclog_lock for every reference count decrement
except the one that matters - the last.

When hundreds of processors attempt to commit transactions at the same
time, they can contend on the AIL lock when updating the tail LSN held in
the in-core log structure.
At the moment, the tail LSN is only needed when actually writing out an
iclog, so it really does not need to be updated on every single
transaction completion - only those that result in switching iclogs and
flushing them to disk.
The result is that we reduce the number of times we need to grab the AIL
lock and the log grant lock by up to two orders of magnitude on large
processor count machines. The problem has previously been hidden by AIL
lock contention walking the AIL list which was recently solved and
uncovered this issue.

Remove the xfs_icluster structure and replace with a radix tree lookup.
We don't need to keep a list of inodes in each cluster around anymore as
we can look them up quickly when we need to. The only time we need to do
this now is during inode writeback.
Factor the inode cluster writeback code out of xfs_iflush and convert it
to use radix_tree_gang_lookup() instead of walking a list of inodes built
when we first read in the inodes.
This remove 3 pointers from each xfs_inode structure and the xfs_icluster
structure per inode cluster. Hence we reduce the cache footprint of the
xfs_inodes by between 5-10% depending on cluster sparseness.
To be truly efficient we need a radix_tree_gang_lookup_range() call to
stop searching once we are past the end of the cluster instead of trying
to find a full cluster's worth of inodes.

When pdflush is writing back inodes, it can get stuck on inode cluster
buffers that are currently under I/O. This occurs when we write data to
multiple inodes in the same inode cluster at the same time.
Effectively, delayed allocation marks the inode dirty during the data
writeback. Hence if the inode cluster was flushed during the writeback of
the first inode, the writeback of the second inode will block waiting for
the inode cluster write to complete before writing it again for the newly
dirtied inode.
Basically, we want to avoid this from happening so we don't block pdflush
and slow down all of writeback. Hence we introduce a non-blocking async
inode flush flag that pdflush uses. If this flag is set, we use
non-blocking operations (e.g. try locks) whereever we can to avoid
blocking or extra I/O being issued.

The only difference between the functions is one passes an inode for the
lookup, the other passes an inode number. However, they don't do the same
validity checking or set all the same state on the buffer that is returned
yet they should.
Factor the functions into a common implementation.

On a forced shutdown, xfs_finish_reclaim() will skip flushing the inode.
If the inode flush lock is not already held and there is an outstanding
xfs_iflush_done() then we might free the inode prematurely. By acquiring
and releasing the flush lock we will synchronise with xfs_iflush_done().

mb_cache_entry_alloc() was allocating cache entries with GFP_KERNEL. But
filesystems are calling this function while holding xattr_sem so possible
recursion into the fs violates locking ordering of xattr_sem and transaction
start / i_mutex for ext2-4. Change mb_cache_entry_alloc() so that filesystems
can specify desired gfp mask and use GFP_NOFS from all of them.

write_begin
This fixes a regression introduced in commit
205c109a7a96d9a3d8ffe64c4068b70811fef5e8 when switching to
write_begin/write_end operations in JFFS2.
The page offset is miscalculated, leading to corruption of the fragment
lists and subsequently to memory corruption and panics.
[ Side note: the bug is a fairly direct result of the naming. Nick was
likely misled by the use of "offs", since we tend to use the notion of
"offset" not as an absolute position, but as an offset _within_ a page
or allocation.
Alternatively, a "pgoff_t" is a page index, but not a byte offset -
our VM naming can be a bit confusing.
So in this case, a VM person would likely have called this a "pos",
not an "offs", or perhaps talked about byte offsets rather than page
offsets (since it's counted in bytes, not pages). - Linus ]

Miklos Szeredi found the bug:
"Basically what happens is that on the server nlm_fopen() calls
nfsd_open() which returns -EACCES, to which nlm_fopen() returns
NLM_LCK_DENIED.
"On the client this will turn into a -EAGAIN (nlm_stat_to_errno()),
which in will cause fcntl_setlk() to retry forever."
So, for example, opening a file on an nfs filesystem, changing
permissions to forbid further access, then trying to lock the file,
could result in an infinite loop.
And Trond Myklebust identified the culprit, from Marc Eshel and I:
7723ec9777d9832849b76475b1a21a2872a40d20 "locks: factor out
generic/filesystem switch from setlock code"
That commit claimed to just be reshuffling code, but actually introduced
a behavioral change by calling the lock method repeatedly as long as it
returned -EAGAIN.
We assumed this would be safe, since we assumed a lock of type SETLKW
would only return with either success or an error other than -EAGAIN.
However, nfs does can in fact return -EAGAIN in this situation, and
independently of whether that behavior is correct or not, we don't
actually need this change, and it seems far safer not to depend on such
assumptions about the filesystem's ->lock method.
Therefore, revert the problematic part of the original commit. This
leaves vfs_lock_file() and its other callers unchanged, while returning
fcntl_setlk and fcntl_setlk64 to their former behavior.

Use asmlinkage_protect in sys_io_getevents, because GCC for i386 with
CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=n can decide to clobber an argument word on the
stack, i.e. the user struct pt_regs. Here the problem is not a tail
call, but just the compiler's use of the stack when it inlines and
optimizes the body of the called function. This seems to avoid it.

The prevent_tail_call() macro works around the problem of the compiler
clobbering argument words on the stack, which for asmlinkage functions
is the caller's (user's) struct pt_regs. The tail/sibling-call
optimization is not the only way that the compiler can decide to use
stack argument words as scratch space, which we have to prevent.
Other optimizations can do it too.
Until we have new compiler support to make "asmlinkage" binding on the
compiler's own use of the stack argument frame, we have work around all
the manifestations of this issue that crop up.
More cases seem to be prevented by also keeping the incoming argument
variables live at the end of the function. This makes their original
stack slots attractive places to leave those variables, so the compiler
tends not clobber them for something else. It's still no guarantee, but
it handles some observed cases that prevent_tail_call() did not.

Since older kernels may look in the sb_bad_features2 slot for flags,
rather than zeroing it out on fixup, we should make it equal to the
sb_features2 value.
Also, if the ATTR2 flag was not found prior to features2 fixup, it was not
set in the mount flags, so re-check after the fixup so that the current
session will use the feature.
Also fix up the comments to reflect these changes.

Due to the xfs_dsb_t structure not being 64 bit aligned, the last field of
the on-disk superblock can vary in location This causes problems when the
filesystem gets moved to a different platform, or there is a 32 bit
userspace and 64 bit kernel.
This patch detects the defect at mount time, logs a warning such as:
XFS: correcting sb_features alignment problem
in dmesg and corrects the problem so that everything is OK. it also
blacklists the bad field in the superblock so it does not get used for
something else later on.

Mikulas Patocka noted that the optimization where we check if a buffer
was already dirty (and we avoid re-dirtying it) was not really SMP-safe.
Since the read of the old status was not synchronized with anything, an
aggressive CPU re-ordering of memory accesses might have moved that read
up to before the data was even written to the buffer, and another CPU
that cleaned it again, causing the newly dirty state to never actually
hit the disk.
Admittedly this would probably never trigger in practice, but it's still
wrong.
Mikulas sent a patch that fixed the problem, but I dislike the subtlety
of the whole optimization, so this is an alternate fix that is more
explicit about the particular SMP ordering for the optimization, and
separates out the speculative reads of the buffer state into its own
conditional (and makes the memory barrier only happen if we are likely
to actually hit the optimized case in the first place).
I considered removing the optimization entirely, but Andrew argued for
it's continued existence. I'm a push-over.

The loop block driver is careful to mask __GFP_IO|__GFP_FS out of its
mapping_gfp_mask, to avoid hangs under memory pressure. But nowadays
it uses splice, usually going through __generic_file_splice_read. That
must use mapping_gfp_mask instead of GFP_KERNEL to avoid those hangs.

As you can see file's page contains garbage from pagecache instead of zeros.
#TEST_CASE_END
Attached patch:
- Add sanity check BUG_ON in order to prevent incorrect usage by caller,
This is function invariant because page can has buffers and in no zero
*fadata pointer at the same time.
- Always attach buffers to page is it is partial write case.
- Always switch back to generic_write_end if page has buffers.
This is reasonable because if page already has buffer then generic_write_begin
was called previously.

... and take it out of ->umount_begin() instances. Call with all locks
already taken (by do_umount()) and leave calling release_mounts() to
caller (it will do release_mounts() anyway, so we can just put into
the same list).

make propagate_mount_busy() exclude references from the vfsmounts
that had been isolated by umount_tree() and are just waiting for
release_mounts() to dispose of their ->mnt_parent/->mnt_mountpoint.

A lot of places misuse struct nameidata when they need struct path.
