Thanks to Roland who pointed out de_thread() issues.
Currently we add sub-threads to ->real_parent->children list. This buys
nothing but slows down do_wait().
With this patch ->children contains only main threads (group leaders).
The only complication is that forget_original_parent() should iterate over
sub-threads by hand, and de_thread() needs another list_replace() when it
changes ->group_leader.
Henceforth do_wait_thread() can never see task_detached() && !EXIT_DEAD
tasks, we can remove this check (and we can unify do_wait_thread() and
ptrace_do_wait()).
This change can confuse the optimistic search in mm_update_next_owner(),
but this is fixable and minor.
Perhaps badness() and oom_kill_process() should be updated, but they
should be fixed in any case.

It can happen that write does not use all the blocks allocated in
write_begin either because of some filesystem error (like ENOSPC) or
because page with data to write has been removed from memory. We truncate
these blocks so that we don't have dangling blocks beyond i_size.

requested by Alexey:
"I think I gave a good enough arguments to not merge it.
To iterate:
* patch makes impossible to start using ext3 on EXT3_FS=n kernels
without reboot.
* this is done only for one pointer on task_struct"
None of config options which define task_struct are tristate directly
or effectively."

This reverts commit e9496ff46a20a8592fdc7bdaaf41b45eb808d310. Quoth Al:
"it's dependent on a lot of other stuff not currently in mainline
and badly broken with current fs/namespace.c. Sorry, badly
out-of-order cherry-pick from old queue.
PS: there's a large pending series reworking the refcounting and
lifetime rules for vfsmounts that will, among other things, allow to
rip a subtree away _without_ dissolving connections in it, to be
garbage-collected when all active references are gone. It's
considerably saner wrt "is the subtree busy" logics, but it's nowhere
near being ready for merge at the moment; this changeset is one of the
things becoming possible with that sucker, but it certainly shouldn't
have been picked during this cycle. My apologies..."

This patch makes us a bit less zealous about making sure we have enough free
metadata space by pearing down the size of new metadata chunks to 256mb instead
of 1gb. Also, we used to try an allocate metadata chunks when allocating data,
but that sort of thing is done elsewhere now so we can just remove it. With my

1.7gb. Thanks,

I excluded it because we can move across subvolumes now and
it make no problem.

served with vfs_fsync or the filemap_write_and_wait. Now that
do_sync_file_range is down to a single caller fold it into it so that people
don't start using it again accidentally. While at it also switch it from
using __filemap_fdatawrite_range(..., WB_SYNC_ALL) to the more clear
filemap_fdatawrite_range().

Filesystems outside the regular namespace do not have to clear DCACHE_UNHASHED
in order to have a working /proc/$pid/fd/XXX. Nothing in proc prevents the
fd link from being used if its dentry is not in the hash.
Also, it does not get put into the dcache hash if DCACHE_UNHASHED is clear;
that depends on the filesystem calling d_add or d_rehash.
So delete the misleading comments and needless code.

Commit 3d1e4631 ("get rid of init_file()") removed the export of
alloc_file() -- possibly inadvertently, since that commit mainly
consisted of deleting the lines between the end of alloc_file() and
the start of the code in init_file().
There is in fact one modular use of alloc_file() in the tree, in
drivers/infiniband/core/uverbs_main.c, so re-add the export to fix:
ERROR: "alloc_file" [drivers/infiniband/core/ib_uverbs.ko] undefined!

The code in xfs_free_buf() only attempts to free the b_pages array if the
buffer is a page cache backed or page allocated buffer. The extra log buffer
that is used when the log wraps uses pages that are allocated to a different
log buffer, but it still has a b_pages array allocated when those pages
are associated to with the extra buffer in xfs_buf_associate_memory.
Hence we need to always attempt to free the b_pages array when tearing
down a buffer, not just on buffers that are explicitly marked as page bearing
buffers. This fixes a leak detected by the kernel memory leak code.

Change all async metadata buffers to use [READ|WRITE]_META I/O types
so that the I/O doesn't get issued immediately. This allows merging of
adjacent metadata requests but still prioritises them over bulk data.
This shows a 10-15% improvement in sequential create speed of small
files.
Don't include the log buffers in this classification - leave them as
sync types so they are issued immediately.

Currently the locking in blockdev_direct_IO is a mess, we have three different
locking types and very confusing checks for some of them. The most
complicated one is DIO_OWN_LOCKING for reads, which happens to not actually be
used.
This patch gets rid of the DIO_OWN_LOCKING - as mentioned above the read case
is unused anyway, and the write side is almost identical to DIO_NO_LOCKING.
The difference is that DIO_NO_LOCKING always sets the create argument for
the get_blocks callback to zero, but we can easily move that to the actual
get_blocks callbacks. There are four users of the DIO_NO_LOCKING mode:
gfs already ignores the create argument and thus is fine with the new
version, ocfs2 only errors out if create were ever set, and we can remove
this dead code now, the block device code only ever uses create for an
error message if we are fully beyond the device which can never happen,
and last but not least XFS will need the new behavour for writes.
Now we can replace the lock_type variable with a flags one, where no flag
means the DIO_NO_LOCKING behaviour and DIO_LOCKING is kept as the first
flag. Separate out the check for not allowing to fill holes into a separate
flag, although for now both flags always get set at the same time.
Also revamp the documentation of the locking scheme to actually make sense.
