Commit 1faa16d22877f4839bd433547d770c676d1d964c accidentally broke
the bdi congestion wait queue logic, causing us to wait on congestion
for WRITE (== 1) when we really wanted BLK_RW_ASYNC (== 0) instead.

cifs: when ATTR_READONLY is set, only clear write bits on non-directories
On windows servers, ATTR_READONLY apparently either has no meaning or
serves as some sort of queue to certain applications for unrelated
behavior. This MS kbase article has details:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/326549/
Don't clear the write bits directory mode when ATTR_READONLY is set.

cifs: convert cifs_get_inode_info and non-posix readdir to use cifs_iget
Rather than allocating an inode and filling it out, have
cifs_get_inode_info fill out a cifs_fattr and call cifs_iget. This means
a pretty hefty reorganization of cifs_get_inode_info.
For the readdir codepath, add a couple of new functions for filling out
cifs_fattr's from different FindFile response infolevels.
Finally, remove cifs_new_inode since there are no more callers.

The following test script triggers a deadlock on ext2 filesystem:
while true; do quotaon /dev/hda >&/dev/null; usleep $RANDOM; done &
while true; do quotaoff /dev/hda >&/dev/null; usleep $RANDOM; done &
I found there is a potential deadlock between quotaon and quotaoff (or
quotasync). Basically, all of quotactl operations need to be protected by
dqonoff_mutex. vfs_quota_off and vfs_quota_sync also call sb->s_op->quota_write
that needs to grab the i_mutex of the quota file. But in vfs_quota_on_inode
(called from quotaon operation), the current code tries to grab the i_mutex of
the quota file first before getting quonoff_mutex.
Reverse the order in which we take locks in vfs_quota_on_inode().

vfs: Make sys_sync() use fsync_super() (version 4)
It is unnecessarily fragile to have two places (fsync_super() and do_sync())
doing data integrity sync of the filesystem. Alter __fsync_super() to
accommodate needs of both callers and use it. So after this patch
__fsync_super() is the only place where we gather all the calls needed to
properly send all data on a filesystem to disk.
As a matter of fact, ffsb calls sys_sync in the end to make sure all data
is flushed to disks and the flushing is counted into the result. vmstat
shows ffsb is blocked when syncing for a long time. With 2.6.30, ffsb is
blocked for a short time.
I checked the patch and did experiments to recover the original methods.
Eventually, the root cause is the patch deletes the calling to
wakeup_pdflush when syncing, so only ffsb is blocked on disk I/O.
wakeup_pdflush could ask pdflush to write back pages with ffsb at the
same time.

* 'for-2.6.31' of git://linux-nfs.org/~bfields/linux:
NFSD: Don't hold unrefcounted creds over call to nfsd_setuser()
|
|
nfsd_open() gets an unrefcounted pointer to the current process's effective
credentials at the top of the function, then calls nfsd_setuser() via
fh_verify() - which may replace and destroy the current process's effective
credentials - and then passes the unrefcounted pointer to dentry_open() - but
the credentials may have been destroyed by this point.
Instead, the value from current_cred() should be passed directly to
dentry_open() as one of its arguments, rather than being cached in a variable.
Possibly fh_verify() should return the creds to use.
This is a regression introduced by
745ca2475a6ac596e3d8d37c2759c0fbe2586227 "CRED: Pass credentials through
dentry_open()".

The new backref format has restriction on type of backref item. If a tree
block isn't referenced by its owner tree, full backrefs must be used for the
pointers in it. When a tree block loses its owner tree's reference, backrefs
for the pointers in it should be updated to full backrefs. Current
btrfs_drop_snapshot misses the code that updates backrefs, so it's unsafe for
general use.
This patch adds backrefs update code to btrfs_drop_snapshot. It isn't a
problem in the restricted form btrfs_drop_snapshot is used today, but for
general snapshot deletion this update is required.

Using Eric Sandeen's xfstest for fallocate, you can easily trigger a ENOSPC
panic on btrfs. This is because we do not account for data we may use when
doing the fallocate. This patch fixes the problem by properly reserving space,
and then just freeing it when we are done. The reservation stuff was made with
delalloc in mind, so its a little crude for this case, but it keeps the box
from panicing.

cifs: add new cifs_iget function and convert unix codepath to use it
In order to unify some codepaths, introduce a common cifs_fattr struct
for storing inode attributes. The different codepaths (unix, legacy,
normal, etc...) can fill out this struct with inode info. It can then be
passed as an arg to a common set of routines to get and update inodes.
Add a new cifs_iget function that uses iget5_locked to identify inodes.
This will compare inodes based on the uniqueid value in a cifs_fattr
struct.
Rather than filling out an already-created inode, have
cifs_get_inode_info_unix instead fill out cifs_fattr and hand that off
to cifs_iget. cifs_iget can then properly look for hardlinked inodes.
On the readdir side, add a new cifs_readdir_lookup function that spawns
populated dentries. Redefine FILE_UNIX_INFO so that it's basically a
FILE_UNIX_BASIC_INFO that has a few fields wrapped around it. This
allows us to more easily use the same function for filling out the fattr
as the non-readdir codepath.
With this, we should then have proper hardlink detection and can
eventually get rid of some nasty CIFS-specific hacks for handing them.

This patch restores stacking ability to the block layer integrity
infrastructure by creating a set of dedicated bip slabs. Each bip slab
has an embedded bio_vec array at the end. This cuts down on memory
allocations and also simplifies the code compared to the original bvec
version. Only the largest bip slab is backed by a mempool. The pool is
contained in the bio_set so stacking drivers can ensure forward

ext2_iget() returns -ESTALE if invoked on a deleted inode, in order to
report errors to NFS properly. However, in ext[234]_lookup(), this
-ESTALE can be propagated to userspace if the filesystem is corrupted such
that a directory entry references a deleted inode. This leads to a
misleading error message - "Stale NFS file handle" - and confusion on the
part of the admin.
The bug can be easily reproduced by creating a new filesystem, making a
link to an unused inode using debugfs, then mounting and attempting to ls
-l said link.
This patch thus changes ext2_lookup to return -EIO if it receives -ESTALE
from ext2_iget(), as ext2 does for other filesystem metadata corruption;
and also invokes the appropriate ext*_error functions when this case is
detected.

With ELF, at generating coredump, some more headers other than used
vmas are added.
When max_map_count == 65536, a core generated by following kinds of
code can be unreadable because the number of ELF's program header is
written in 16bit in Ehdr (please see elf.h) and the number overflows.
==
... = mmap(); (munmap, mprotect, etc...)
if (failed)
abort();
==
This can happen in mmap/munmap/mprotect/etc...which calls split_vma().
I think 65536 is not safe as _default_ and reduce it to 65530 is good
for avoiding unexpected corrupted core.
Anyway, max_map_count can be enlarged by sysctl if a user is brave..

Add notification messages that allow the filesystem to invalidate VFS
caches.
Two notifications are added:
1) inode invalidation
- invalidate cached attributes
- invalidate a range of pages in the page cache (this is optional)
2) dentry invalidation
- try to invalidate a subtree in the dentry cache
Care must be taken while accessing the 'struct super_block' for the
mount, as it can go away while an invalidation is in progress. To
prevent this, introduce a rw-semaphore, that is taken for read during
the invalidation and taken for write in the ->kill_sb callback.

FreeXid() along with freeing Xid does add a cifsFYI debug message that
prints rc (return code) as well. In some code paths where we set/return
error code after calling FreeXid(), incorrect error code is being
printed when cifsFYI is enabled.
This could be misleading in few cases. For eg.
In cifs_open() if cifs_fill_filedata() returns a valid pointer to
cifsFileInfo, FreeXid() prints rc=-13 whereas 0 is actually being
returned. Fix this by setting rc before calling FreeXid().
Basically convert
FreeXid(xid); rc = -ERR;
return -ERR; => FreeXid(xid);
return rc;
[Note that Christoph would like to replace the GetXid/FreeXid
calls, which are primarily used for debugging. This seems
like a good longer term goal, but although there is an
alternative tracing facility, there are no examples yet
available that I know of that we can use (yet) to
convert this cifs function entry/exit logging, and for
creating an identifier that we can use to correlate
all dmesg log entries for a particular vfs operation
(ie identify all log entries for a particular vfs
request to cifs: e.g. a particular close or read or write
or byte range lock call ... and just using the thread id
is harder). Eventually when a replacement
for this is available (e.g. when NFS switches over and various
samples to look at in other file systems) we can remove the
GetXid/FreeXid macro but in the meantime multiple people
use this run time configurable logging all the time
for debugging, and Suresh's patch fixes a problem
which made it harder to notice some low
memory problems in the log so it is worthwhile
to fix this problem until a better logging
approach is able to be used]
