f7c21177af ext4: Use ext4_error_file() to print the pathname to the corrupted inode
Where the file pointer is available, use ext4_error_file() instead of
ext4_error_inode().

f9a62d090c ext4: use IS_ERR() to check for errors in ext4_error_file
d_path() returns an ERR_PTR and it doesn't return NULL.  This is in
ext4_error_file() and no one actually calls ext4_error_file().

9325963667 ext4: remove warning message from ext4_issue_discard helper
ext4_issue_discard is supposed to be helper for calling discard, however
in case that underlying device does not support discard it prints out
the warning message and clears the DISCARD t_mount_opt flag. Since it
can be (and is) used by others, it should not do anything and let the
caller to handle the error case.

This commit removes warning message and flag setting from
ext4_issue_discard and use it just in place where it is really needed
(release_blocks_on_commit). FITRIM ioctl should not set any flags nor it
should print out warning messages, so get rid of the warning as well.

4f531501e4 ext4: fix possible overflow in ext4_trim_fs()
When determining last group through ext4_get_group_no_and_offset() the
result may be wrong in cases when range->start and range-len are too
big, because it may overflow when summing up those two numbers.

Fix that by checking range->len and limit its value to
ext4_blocks_count(). This commit was tested by myself with expected
result.

365e215ce1 nilfs2: unfold nilfs_dat_inode function
nilfs_dat_inode function was a wrapper to switch between normal dat
inode and gcdat, a clone of the dat inode for garbage collection.

This function got obsolete when the gcdat inode was removed, and now
we can access the dat inode directly from a nilfs object.  So, we will
unfold the wrapper and remove it.

622daaff0a nilfs2: fiemap support
This adds fiemap to nilfs.  Two new functions, nilfs_fiemap and
nilfs_find_uncommitted_extent are added.

nilfs_fiemap() implements the fiemap inode operation, and
nilfs_find_uncommitted_extent() helps to get a range of data blocks
whose physical location has not been determined.

nilfs_fiemap() collects extent information by looping through
nilfs_bmap_lookup_contig and nilfs_find_uncommitted_extent routines.

27e6c7a3ce nilfs2: mark buffer heads as delayed until the data is written to disk
Nilfs does not allocate new blocks on disk until they are actually
written to.  To implement fiemap, we need to deal with such blocks.

To allow successive fiemap patch to distinguish mapped but unallocated
regions, this marks buffer heads of those new blocks as delayed and
clears the flag after the blocks are written to disk.

e828949e5b nilfs2: call nilfs_error inside bmap routines
Some functions using nilfs bmap routines can wrongly return invalid
argument error (i.e. -EINVAL) that bmap returns as an internal code
for btree corruption.

This fixes the issue by catching and converting the internal EINVAL to
EIO and calling nilfs_error function inside bmap routines.

b4d6fcf13f cifs: move "ntlmssp" and "local_leases" options out of experimental code
I see no real need to leave these sorts of options under an
EXPERIMENTAL ifdef. Since you need a mount option to turn this code
on, that only blows out the testing matrix.

local_leases has been under the EXPERIMENTAL tag for some time, but
it's only the mount option that's under this label. Move it out
from under this tag.

The NTLMSSP code is also under EXPERIMENTAL, but it needs a mount
option to turn it on, and in the future any distro will reasonably
want this enabled. Go ahead and move it out from under the
EXPERIMENTAL tag.

b3e19d924b fs: scale mntget/mntput
The problem that this patch aims to fix is vfsmount refcounting scalability.
We need to take a reference on the vfsmount for every successful path lookup,
which often go to the same mount point.

The fundamental difficulty is that a "simple" reference count can never be made
scalable, because any time a reference is dropped, we must check whether that
was the last reference. To do that requires communication with all other CPUs
that may have taken a reference count.

We can make refcounts more scalable in a couple of ways, involving keeping
distributed counters, and checking for the global-zero condition less
frequently.

- check the global sum once every interval (this will delay zero detection
  for some interval, so it's probably a showstopper for vfsmounts).

- keep a local count and only taking the global sum when local reaches 0 (this
  is difficult for vfsmounts, because we can't hold preempt off for the life of
  a reference, so a counter would need to be per-thread or tied strongly to a
  particular CPU which requires more locking).

- keep a local difference of increments and decrements, which allows us to sum
  the total difference and hence find the refcount when summing all CPUs. Then,
  keep a single integer "long" refcount for slow and long lasting references,
  and only take the global sum of local counters when the long refcount is 0.

This last scheme is what I implemented here. Attached mounts and process root
and working directory references are "long" references, and everything else is
a short reference.

This allows scalable vfsmount references during path walking over mounted
subtrees and unattached (lazy umounted) mounts with processes still running
in them.

This results in one fewer atomic op in the fastpath: mntget is now just a
per-CPU inc, rather than an atomic inc; and mntput just requires a spinlock
and non-atomic decrement in the common case. However code is otherwise bigger
and heavier, so single threaded performance is basically a wash.

c6653a838b fs: rename vfsmount counter helpers
Suggested by Andreas, mnt_ prefix is clearer namespace, follows kernel
conventions better, and is easier for tab complete. I introduced these
names so I'll admit they were not good choices.

9d55c369bb fs: implement faster dentry memcmp
The standard memcmp function on a Westmere system shows up hot in
profiles in the `git diff` workload (both parallel and single threaded),
and it is likely due to the costs associated with trapping into
microcode, and little opportunity to improve memory access (dentry
name is not likely to take up more than a cacheline).

So replace it with an open-coded byte comparison. This increases code
size by 8 bytes in the critical __d_lookup_rcu function, but the
speedup is huge, averaging 10 runs of each:

git diff st   user   sys   elapsed  CPU
before        1.15   2.57  3.82      97.1
after         1.14   2.35  3.61      96.8

git diff mt   user   sys   elapsed  CPU
before        1.27   3.85  1.46     349
after         1.26   3.54  1.43     333

Elapsed time for single threaded git diff at 95.0% confidence:
        -0.21  +/- 0.01
        -5.45% +/- 0.24%

It's -0.66% +/- 0.06% elapsed time on my Opteron, so rep cmp costs on the
fam10h seem to be relatively smaller, but there is still a win.

e1bb578263 fs: prefetch inode data in dcache lookup
This makes single threaded git diff -1.25% +/- 0.05% elapsed time on my
2s12c24t Westmere system, and -0.86% +/- 0.05% on my 2s8c Barcelona, by
prefetching the important first cacheline of the inode in while we do the
actual name compare and other operations on the dentry.

There was no measurable slowdown in the single file stat case, or the creat
case (where negative dentries would be common).

4b936885ab fs: improve scalability of pseudo filesystems
Regardless of how much we possibly try to scale dcache, there is likely
always going to be some fundamental contention when adding or removing children
under the same parent. Pseudo filesystems do not seem need to have connected
dentries because by definition they are disconnected.

873feea09e fs: dcache per-inode inode alias locking
dcache_inode_lock can be replaced with per-inode locking. Use existing
inode->i_lock for this. This is slightly non-trivial because we sometimes
need to find the inode from the dentry, which requires d_inode to be
stabilised (either with refcount or d_lock).
