This patch needs to go along with my previous patch. This lets us set the
default dir item's location to whatever root we want to use as our default
mounting subvol. With this we don't have to use mount -o subvol=<tree id>
anymore to mount a different subvol, we can just set the new one and it will
just magically work. I've done some moderate testing with this, mostly just
switching the default mount around, mounting subvols and the default mount at
the same time and such, everything seems to work. Thanks,
Older kernels would generally be able to still mount the filesystem with the
default subvolume set, but it would result in a different volume being mounted,
which could be an even more unpleasant suprise for users. So if you set your
default subvolume, you can't go back to older kernels. Thanks,

This work is in preperation for being able to set a different root as the
default mounting root.
There is currently a problem with how we mount subvolumes. We cannot currently
mount a subvolume of a subvolume, you can only mount subvolumes/snapshots of the
default subvolume. So say you take a snapshot of the default subvolume and call
it snap1, and then take a snapshot of snap1 and call it snap2, so now you have
/
/snap1
/snap1/snap2
as your available volumes. Currently you can only mount / and /snap1,
you cannot mount /snap1/snap2. To fix this problem instead of passing
subvolid=<name> you must pass in subvolid=<treeid>, where <treeid> is
the tree id that gets spit out via the subvolume listing you get from
the subvolume listing patches (btrfs filesystem list). This allows us
to mount /, /snap1 and /snap1/snap2 as the root volume.
In addition to the above, we also now read the default dir item in the
tree root to get the root key that it points to. For now this just
points at what has always been the default subvolme, but later on I plan
to change it to point at whatever root you want to be the new default
root, so you can just set the default mount and not have to mount with
-o subvolid=<treeid>. I tested this out with the above scenario and it
worked perfectly. Thanks,
mount -o subvol operates inside the selected subvolid. For example:
mount -o subvol=snap1,subvolid=256 /dev/xxx /mnt
/mnt will have the snap1 directory for the subvolume with id
256.
mount -o subvol=snap /dev/xxx /mnt
/mnt will be the snap directory of whatever the default subvolume
is.

The search ioctl is a generic tool for doing btree searches from
userland applications. The first user of the search ioctl is a
subvolume listing feature, but we'll also use it to find new
files in a subvolume.
The search ioctl allows you to specify min and max keys to search for,
along with min and max transid. It returns the items along with a
header that includes the item key.

While investigating a bug, I came across a possible bug in v9fs. The
problem is similar to the one reported for NFS by ASANO Masahiro in
http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/12/21/334.
v9fs_file_lock() will skip locks on file which has mode set to 02666.
This is a problem in cases where the mode of the file is changed after
a process has obtained a lock on the file. Such a lock will be skipped
during unlock and the machine will end up with a BUG in
locks_remove_flock().
v9fs_file_lock() should skip the check for mandatory locks when
unlocking a file.

Inotify was switched to use anon_inode instead of its own private filesystem
which only had one inode in commit c44dcc56d2b5c7 "switch inotify_user to
anon_inode"
The problem with this is that now the inotify inode is not a distinct inode
which can be managed by LSMs. userspace tools which use inotify were allowed
to use the inotify inode but may not have had permission to do read/write type
operations on the anon_inode. After looking at the anon_inode and its users
it looks like the best solution is to just mark the anon_inode as S_PRIVATE
so the security system will ignore it.

Recent releases of Solaris set the fs_clean state of an unmounted UFS file
system as FSLOG ("logging fs"). However, the Linux kernel currently does
not recognize the value which represents this state. Thus, attempting to
mount such a file system rw produces the message
kernel: ufs_read_super: can't grok fs_clean 0xfffffffd
and the file system is mounted read-only. This patch makes the kernel
recognize that value.

When using slub, having a kmem_cache constructor forces slub to add a free
pointer to the size of the cached object, which can have a significant
impact to the number of small objects that can fit into a slab.
As buffer_head is relatively small and we can have large numbers of them,
removing the constructor is a definite win.
On x86_64 removing the constructor gives me 39 objects/slab, 3 more than
without the patch. And on x86_32 73 objects/slab, which is 9 more.
As alloc_buffer_head() already initializes each new object there is very
little difference in actual code run.

GFS2 tracks the number of revokes and unrevokes that are part of committed
transactions via sd_log_commited_revoke. It is possible for one process to add
revokes during its transaction, while another process unrevokes them during its
transaction. If the second process finishes its transaction first,
sd_log_commited_revoke will be decremented by the number of unrevokes that the
second process did, without first being incremented by the number of revokes
the first process did. This is fine, since all started transactions must be
completed before the journal can be flushed. However, sd_log_commited_revoke
is an unsigned integer, and log_refund() causes an assertion failure if it
would go negative at the end of a transaction. This patch makes
sd_log_commited_revoke a signed integer and allows it to go negative.
__gfs2_log_flush() still checks that it mataches the actual number of revokes.

Placing the 16bit s_mode between a pointer and a long doesn't pack well
especailly on 64bit where we wast 48 bits. So move s_mode and
declare it as a unsigned short. This is the sysfs backing store
after all we don't need fields extra large just in case someday
we want userspace to be able to use a larger value.

The vfs depends upon filesystem methods to update the
vfs inode. Sysfs adds to the normal number of places
where the vfs inode is updated by also updatng the
vfs inode in sysfs_refresh_inode.
Typically the inode mutex is used to serialize updates
to the vfs inode, but grabbing the inode mutex in
sysfs_permission and sysfs_getattr causes deadlocks,
because sometimes the vfs calls those operations with
the inode mutex held. Therefore sysfs can not use the
inode mutex to serial updates to the vfs inode.
The sysfs_mutex is acquired in all of the routines
where sysfs updates the vfs inode, and with a small
change we can consistently protext sysfs vfs inode
updates with the sysfs_mutex. To protect the sysfs
vfs inode updates with the sysfs_mutex simply requires
extending the scope of sysfs_mutex in sysfs_setattr
over inode_setattr, and over inode_change_ok (so we
have an unchanging inode when we perform the check).
