Pull vfs updates from Al Viro: "This the bunch that sat in -next + lock_parent() fix. This is the minimal set; there's more pending stuff. In particular, I really hope to get acct.c fixes merged this cycle - we need that to deal sanely with delayed-mntput stuff. In the next pile, hopefully - that series is fairly short and localized (kernel/acct.c, fs/super.c and fs/namespace.c). In this pile: more iov_iter work. Most of prereqs for ->splice_write with sane locking order are there and Kent's dio rewrite would also fit nicely on top of this pile" * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: (70 commits) lock_parent: don't step on stale ->d_parent of all-but-freed one kill generic_file_splice_write() ceph: switch to iter_file_splice_write() shmem: switch to iter_file_splice_write() nfs: switch to iter_splice_write_file() fs/splice.c: remove unneeded exports ocfs2: switch to iter_file_splice_write() ->splice_write() via ->write_iter() bio_vec-backed iov_iter optimize copy_page_{to,from}_iter() bury generic_file_aio_{read,write} lustre: get rid of messing with iovecs ceph: switch to ->write_iter() ceph_sync_direct_write: stop poking into iov_iter guts ceph_sync_read: stop poking into iov_iter guts new helper: copy_page_from_iter() fuse: switch to ->write_iter() btrfs: switch to ->write_iter() ocfs2: switch to ->write_iter() xfs: switch to ->write_iter() ...

->splice_write() via ->write_iter()

2014-06-12T04:18:51Z

iter_file_splice_write() - a ->splice_write() instance that gathers the pipe buffers, builds a bio_vec-based iov_iter covering those and feeds it to ->write_iter(). A bunch of simple cases coverted to that... [AV: fixed the braino spotted by Cyrill] Signed-off-by: Al Viro

ext3: Fix deadlock in data=journal mode when fs is frozen

2014-05-22T15:26:11Z

When ext3 is used in data=journal mode, syncing filesystem makes sure all the data is committed in the journal but the data doesn't have to be checkpointed. ext3_freeze() then takes care of checkpointing all the data so all buffer heads are clean but pages can still have dangling dirty bits. So when flusher thread comes later when filesystem is frozen, it tries to write back dirty pages, ext3_journalled_writepage() tries to start a transaction and hangs waiting for frozen fs causing a deadlock because a holder of s_umount semaphore may be waiting for flusher thread to complete. The fix is luckily relatively easy. We don't have to start a transaction in ext3_journalled_writepage() when a page is just dirty (and doesn't have PageChecked set) because in that case all buffers should be already mapped (mapping must happen before writing a buffer to the journal) and it is enough to write them out. This optimization also solves the deadlock because block_write_full_page() will just find out there's no buffer to write and do nothing. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara
