4343d00872 afs: Get rid of the afs_writeback record
Get rid of the afs_writeback record that kAFS is using to match keys with
writes made by that key.

Instead, keep a list of keys that have a file open for writing and/or
sync'ing and iterate through those.

dab17c1add afs: Fix directory read/modify race
Because parsing of the directory wasn't being done under any sort of lock,
the pages holding the directory content can get invalidated whilst the
parsing is ongoing.

Further, the directory page check function gets called outside of the page
lock, so if the page gets cleared or updated, this may return reports of
bad magic numbers in the directory page.

Also, the directory may change size whilst checking and parsing are
ongoing, so more care needs to be taken here.

Fix this by:

 (1) Perform the page check from the page filling function before we set
     PageUptodate and drop the page lock.

 (2) Check for the file having shrunk and the page having been abandoned
     before checking the page contents.

 (3) Lock the page whilst parsing it for the directory iterator.

Whilst we're at it, add a tracepoint to report check failure.

d2ddc776a4 afs: Overhaul volume and server record caching and fileserver rotation
The current code assumes that volumes and servers are per-cell and are
never shared, but this is not enforced, and, indeed, public cells do exist
that are aliases of each other.  Further, an organisation can, say, set up
a public cell and a private cell with overlapping, but not identical, sets
of servers.  The difference is purely in the database attached to the VL
servers.

The current code will malfunction if it sees a server in two cells as it
assumes global address -> server record mappings and that each server is in
just one cell.

Further, each server may have multiple addresses - and may have addresses
of different families (IPv4 and IPv6, say).

To this end, the following structural changes are made:

 (1) Server record management is overhauled:

     (a) Server records are made independent of cell.  The namespace keeps
     	 track of them, volume records have lists of them and each vnode
     	 has a server on which its callback interest currently resides.

     (b) The cell record no longer keeps a list of servers known to be in
     	 that cell.

     (c) The server records are now kept in a flat list because there's no
     	 single address to sort on.

     (d) Server records are now keyed by their UUID within the namespace.

     (e) The addresses for a server are obtained with the VL.GetAddrsU
     	 rather than with VL.GetEntryByName, using the server's UUID as a
     	 parameter.

     (f) Cached server records are garbage collected after a period of
     	 non-use and are counted out of existence before purging is allowed
     	 to complete.  This protects the work functions against rmmod.

     (g) The servers list is now in /proc/fs/afs/servers.

 (2) Volume record management is overhauled:

     (a) An RCU-replaceable server list is introduced.  This tracks both
     	 servers and their coresponding callback interests.

     (b) The superblock is now keyed on cell record and numeric volume ID.

     (c) The volume record is now tied to the superblock which mounts it,
     	 and is activated when mounted and deactivated when unmounted.
     	 This makes it easier to handle the cache cookie without causing a
     	 double-use in fscache.

     (d) The volume record is loaded from the VLDB using VL.GetEntryByNameU
     	 to get the server UUID list.

     (e) The volume name is updated if it is seen to have changed when the
     	 volume is updated (the update is keyed on the volume ID).

 (3) The vlocation record is got rid of and VLDB records are no longer
     cached.  Sufficient information is stored in the volume record, though
     an update to a volume record is now no longer shared between related
     volumes (volumes come in bundles of three: R/W, R/O and backup).

and the following procedural changes are made:

 (1) The fileserver cursor introduced previously is now fleshed out and
     used to iterate over fileservers and their addresses.

 (2) Volume status is checked during iteration, and the server list is
     replaced if a change is detected.

 (3) Server status is checked during iteration, and the address list is
     replaced if a change is detected.

 (4) The abort code is saved into the address list cursor and -ECONNABORTED
     returned in afs_make_call() if a remote abort happened rather than
     translating the abort into an error message.  This allows actions to
     be taken depending on the abort code more easily.

     (a) If a VMOVED abort is seen then this is handled by rechecking the
     	 volume and restarting the iteration.

     (b) If a VBUSY, VRESTARTING or VSALVAGING abort is seen then this is
         handled by sleeping for a short period and retrying and/or trying
         other servers that might serve that volume.  A message is also
         displayed once until the condition has cleared.

     (c) If a VOFFLINE abort is seen, then this is handled as VBUSY for the
     	 moment.

     (d) If a VNOVOL abort is seen, the volume is rechecked in the VLDB to
     	 see if it has been deleted; if not, the fileserver is probably
     	 indicating that the volume couldn't be attached and needs
     	 salvaging.

     (e) If statfs() sees one of these aborts, it does not sleep, but
     	 rather returns an error, so as not to block the umount program.

 (5) The fileserver iteration functions in vnode.c are now merged into
     their callers and more heavily macroised around the cursor.  vnode.c
     is removed.

 (6) Operations on a particular vnode are serialised on that vnode because
     the server will lock that vnode whilst it operates on it, so a second
     op sent will just have to wait.

 (7) Fileservers are probed with FS.GetCapabilities before being used.
     This is where service upgrade will be done.

 (8) A callback interest on a fileserver is set up before an FS operation
     is performed and passed through to afs_make_call() so that it can be
     set on the vnode if the operation returns a callback.  The callback
     interest is passed through to afs_iget() also so that it can be set
     there too.

In general, record updating is done on an as-needed basis when we try to
access servers, volumes or vnodes rather than offloading it to work items
and special threads.

Notes:

 (1) Pre AFS-3.4 servers are no longer supported, though this can be added
     back if necessary (AFS-3.4 was released in 1998).

 (2) VBUSY is retried forever for the moment at intervals of 1s.

 (3) /proc/fs/afs/<cell>/servers no longer exists.

   The volume ID, vnode ID and vnode uniquifier of the file as three hex
   numbers separated by colons.

 - "afs.volume"

   The name of the volume in which the vnode resides.

For example:

	# getfattr -d -m ".*" /mnt/scratch
	getfattr: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names
	# file: mnt/scratch

6db3ac3c4b afs: Handle better the server returning excess or short data
When an AFS server is given an FS.FetchData{,64} request to read data from
a file, it is permitted by the protocol to return more or less than was
requested.  kafs currently relies on the latter behaviour in readpage{,s}
to handle a partial page at the end of the file (we just ask for a whole
page and clear space beyond the short read).

However, we don't handle all cases.  Add:

 (1) Handle excess data by discarding it rather than aborting.  Note that
     we use a common static buffer to discard into so that the decryption
     algorithm advances the PCBC state.

 (2) Handle a short read that affects more than just the last page.

Note that if a read comes up unexpectedly short of long, it's possible that
the server's copy of the file changed - in which case the data version
number will have been incremented and the callback will have been broken -
in which case all the pages currently attached to the inode will be zapped
anyway at some point.

51c89e6a3b afs: Conditionalise a new unused variable
The bulk readpages support introduced a harmless warning:

fs/afs/file.c: In function 'afs_readpages_page_done':
fs/afs/file.c:270:20: error: unused variable 'vnode' [-Werror=unused-variable]

This adds an #ifdef to match the user of that variable.  The user of the
variable has to be conditional because it accesses a member of a struct
that is also conditional.

09cbfeaf1a mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macros
PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.

This promise never materialized.  And unlikely will.

We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE.  And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.

Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.

Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special.  They are
not.

The changes are pretty straight-forward:

 - <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;

 - <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;

 - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};

 - page_cache_get() -> get_page();

 - page_cache_release() -> put_page();

This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below.  For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.

The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.

There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach.  I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch.  Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

d47992f86b mm: change invalidatepage prototype to accept length
Currently there is no way to truncate partial page where the end
truncate point is not at the end of the page. This is because it was not
needed and the functionality was enough for file system truncate
operation to work properly. However more file systems now support punch
hole feature and it can benefit from mm supporting truncating page just
up to the certain point.

Specifically, with this functionality truncate_inode_pages_range() can
be changed so it supports truncating partial page at the end of the
range (currently it will BUG_ON() if 'end' is not at the end of the
page).

This commit changes the invalidatepage() address space operation
prototype to accept range to be invalidated and update all the instances
for it.

We also change the block_invalidatepage() in the same way and actually
make a use of the new length argument implementing range invalidation.

Actual file system implementations will follow except the file systems
where the changes are really simple and should not change the behaviour
in any way .Implementation for truncate_page_range() which will be able
to accept page unaligned ranges will follow as well.

f6d335c08d AFS: Don't put struct file on the stack
Don't put struct file on the stack as it takes up quite a lot of space
and violates lifetime rules for struct file.

Rather than calling afs_readpage() indirectly from the directory routines by
way of read_mapping_page(), split afs_readpage() to have afs_page_filler()
that's given a key instead of a file and call read_cache_page(), specifying the
new function directly.  Use it in afs_readpages() as well.

Also make use of this in afs_mntpt_check_symlink() too for the same reason.

5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

201a15428b FS-Cache: Handle pages pending storage that get evicted under OOM conditions
Handle netfs pages that the vmscan algorithm wants to evict from the pagecache
under OOM conditions, but that are waiting for write to the cache.  Under these
conditions, vmscan calls the releasepage() function of the netfs, asking if a
page can be discarded.

In the above backtrace, the following is happening:

 (1) A page storage operation is being executed by a slow-work thread
     (fscache_write_op()).

 (2) FS-Cache farms the operation out to the cache to perform
     (cachefiles_write_page()).

 (3) CacheFiles is then calling Ext3 to perform the actual write, using Ext3's
     standard write (do_sync_write()) under KERNEL_DS directly from the netfs
     page.

 (4) However, for Ext3 to perform the write, it must allocate some memory, in
     particular, it must allocate at least one page cache page into which it
     can copy the data from the netfs page.

 (5) Under OOM conditions, the memory allocator can't immediately come up with
     a page, so it uses vmscan to find something to discard
     (try_to_free_pages()).

 (6) vmscan finds a clean netfs page it might be able to discard (possibly the
     one it's trying to write out).

 (7) The netfs is called to throw the page away (nfs_release_page()) - but it's
     called with __GFP_WAIT, so the netfs decides to wait for the store to
     complete (__fscache_wait_on_page_write()).

 (8) This blocks a slow-work processing thread - possibly against itself.

The system ends up stuck because it can't write out any netfs pages to the
cache without allocating more memory.

To avoid this, we make FS-Cache cancel some writes that aren't in the middle of
actually being performed.  This means that some data won't make it into the
cache this time.  To support this, a new FS-Cache function is added
fscache_maybe_release_page() that replaces what the netfs releasepage()
functions used to do with respect to the cache.

The decisions fscache_maybe_release_page() makes are counted and displayed
through /proc/fs/fscache/stats on a line labelled "VmScan".  There are four
counters provided: "nos=N" - pages that weren't pending storage; "gon=N" -
pages that were pending storage when we first looked, but weren't by the time
we got the object lock; "bsy=N" - pages that we ignored as they were actively
being written when we looked; and "can=N" - pages that we cancelled the storage
of.

What I'd really like to do is alter the behaviour of the cancellation
heuristics, depending on how necessary it is to expel pages.  If there are
plenty of other pages that aren't waiting to be written to the cache that
could be ejected first, then it would be nice to hold up on immediate
cancellation of cache writes - but I don't see a way of doing that.

 (1) The parent directory wasn't being updated properly between unlink() and

     It seems that, for some reason, invalidate_remote_inode() wasn't

31143d5d51 AFS: implement basic file write support
Implement support for writing to regular AFS files, including:

 (1) write

 (2) truncate

 (3) fsync, fdatasync

 (4) chmod, chown, chgrp, utime.

AFS writeback attempts to batch writes into as chunks as large as it can manage
up to the point that it writes back 65535 pages in one chunk or it meets a
locked page.

Furthermore, if a page has been written to using a particular key, then should
another write to that page use some other key, the first write will be flushed
before the second is allowed to take place.  If the first write fails due to a
security error, then the page will be scrapped and reread before the second
write takes place.

If a page is dirty and the callback on it is broken by the server, then the
dirty data is not discarded (same behaviour as NFS).

Shared-writable mappings are not supported by this patch.

cd354f1ae7 [PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.h
After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
anything defined in there.  Presumably these includes were once needed for
macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
course of cleaning it up.

To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.

Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha,
arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig,
allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all
configs in arch/arm/configs on arm.  I also checked that no new warnings were
introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted
by unnecessarily included header files).

4c21e2f244 [PATCH] mm: split page table lock
Christoph Lameter demonstrated very poor scalability on the SGI 512-way, with
a many-threaded application which concurrently initializes different parts of
a large anonymous area.

This patch corrects that, by using a separate spinlock per page table page, to
guard the page table entries in that page, instead of using the mm's single
page_table_lock.  (But even then, page_table_lock is still used to guard page
table allocation, and anon_vma allocation.)

In this implementation, the spinlock is tucked inside the struct page of the
page table page: with a BUILD_BUG_ON in case it overflows - which it would in
the case of 32-bit PA-RISC with spinlock debugging enabled.

Splitting the lock is not quite for free: another cacheline access.  Ideally,
I suppose we would use split ptlock only for multi-threaded processes on
multi-cpu machines; but deciding that dynamically would have its own costs.
So for now enable it by config, at some number of cpus - since the Kconfig
language doesn't support inequalities, let preprocessor compare that with
NR_CPUS.  But I don't think it's worth being user-configurable: for good
testing of both split and unsplit configs, split now at 4 cpus, and perhaps
change that to 8 later.

There is a benefit even for singly threaded processes: kswapd can be attacking
one part of the mm while another part is busy faulting.

   XFS used __nocast both for gfp_t and for flags used by XFS allocator.
   The latter left with unsigned int __nocast; we might want to add a
   different type for those but for now let's leave them alone.  That,
   BTW, is a case when __nocast use had been actively confusing - it had
   been used in the same code for two different and similar types, with
   no way to catch misuses.  Switch of gfp_t to bitwise had caught that
   immediately...

One tricky bit is left alone to be dealt with later - mapping->flags is
a mix of gfp_t and error indications.  Left alone for now.
