f326966b3d jffs2: fix error value sign
do_verify_xattr_datum(), do_load_xattr_datum(), load_xattr_datum()
and verify_xattr_ref() should return negative value on error.
Sometimes they return EIO that is positive.  Change this to -EIO.

1c3cb9ec07 xfs: convert l_tail_lsn to an atomic variable.
log->l_tail_lsn is currently protected by the log grant lock. The
lock is only needed for serialising readers against writers, so we
don't really need the lock if we make the l_tail_lsn variable an
atomic. Converting the l_tail_lsn variable to an atomic64_t means we
can start to peel back the grant lock from various operations.

Also, provide functions to safely crack an atomic LSN variable into
it's component pieces and to recombined the components into an
atomic variable. Use them where appropriate.

This also removes the need for explicitly holding a spinlock to read
the l_tail_lsn on 32 bit platforms.

84f3c683c4 xfs: convert l_last_sync_lsn to an atomic variable
log->l_last_sync_lsn is updated in only one critical spot - log
buffer Io completion - and is protected by the grant lock here. This
requires the grant lock to be taken for every log buffer IO
completion. Converting the l_last_sync_lsn variable to an atomic64_t
means that we do not need to take the grant lock in log buffer IO
completion to update it.

This also removes the need for explicitly holding a spinlock to read
the l_last_sync_lsn on 32 bit platforms.

2ced19cbae xfs: make AIL tail pushing independent of the grant lock
The xlog_grant_push_ail() currently takes the grant lock internally to sample
the tail lsn, last sync lsn and the reserve grant head. Most of the callers
already hold the grant lock but have to drop it before calling
xlog_grant_push_ail(). This is a left over from when the AIL tail pushing was
done in line and hence xlog_grant_push_ail had to drop the grant lock. AIL push
is now done in another thread and hence we can safely hold the grant lock over
the entire xlog_grant_push_ail call.

Push the grant lock outside of xlog_grant_push_ail() to simplify the locking
and synchronisation needed for tail pushing.  This will reduce traffic on the
grant lock by itself, but this is only one step in preparing for the complete
removal of the grant lock.

While there, clean up the formatting of xlog_grant_push_ail() to match the
rest of the XFS code.

3013683253 xfs: remove all the inodes on a buffer from the AIL in bulk
When inode buffer IO completes, usually all of the inodes are removed from the
AIL. This involves processing them one at a time and taking the AIL lock once
for every inode. When all CPUs are processing inode IO completions, this causes
excessive amount sof contention on the AIL lock.

Instead, change the way we process inode IO completion in the buffer
IO done callback. Allow the inode IO done callback to walk the list
of IO done callbacks and pull all the inodes off the buffer in one
go and then process them as a batch.

Once all the inodes for removal are collected, take the AIL lock
once and do a bulk removal operation to minimise traffic on the AIL
lock.

c90821a26a xfs: consume iodone callback items on buffers as they are processed
To allow buffer iodone callbacks to consume multiple items off the
callback list, first we need to convert the xfs_buf_do_callbacks()
to consume items and always pull the next item from the head of the
list.

The means the item list walk is never dependent on knowing the
next item on the list and hence allows callbacks to remove items
from the list as well. This allows callbacks to do bulk operations
by scanning the list for identical callbacks, consuming them all
and then processing them in bulk, negating the need for multiple
callbacks of that type.

In severe cases, the xfsaild is getting woken tens of thousands of

the xfsaild if the new target is larger than the old one. Further
make short sleeps uninterruptible as they occur when the xfsaild has

0e57f6a36f xfs: bulk AIL insertion during transaction commit
When inserting items into the AIL from the transaction committed
callbacks, we take the AIL lock for every single item that is to be
inserted. For a CIL checkpoint commit, this can be tens of thousands
of individual inserts, yet almost all of the items will be inserted
at the same point in the AIL because they have the same index.

To reduce the overhead and contention on the AIL lock for such
operations, introduce a "bulk insert" operation which allows a list
of log items with the same LSN to be inserted in a single operation
via a list splice. To do this, we need to pre-sort the log items
being committed into a temporary list for insertion.

The complexity is that not every log item will end up with the same
LSN, and not every item is actually inserted into the AIL. Items
that don't match the commit LSN will be inserted and unpinned as per
the current one-at-a-time method (relatively rare), while items that
are not to be inserted will be unpinned and freed immediately. Items
that are to be inserted at the given commit lsn are placed in a
temporary array and inserted into the AIL in bulk each time the
array fills up.

As a result of this, we trade off AIL hold time for a significant
reduction in traffic. lock_stat output shows that the worst case
hold time is unchanged, but contention from AIL inserts drops by an
order of magnitude and the number of lock traversal decreases
significantly.

eb3efa1249 xfs: clean up xfs_ail_delete()
xfs_ail_delete() has a needlessly complex interface. It returns the log item
that was passed in for deletion (which the callers then assert is identical to
the one passed in), and callers of xfs_ail_delete() still need to invalidate
current traversal cursors.

Make xfs_ail_delete() return void, move the cursor invalidation inside it, and
clean up the callers just to use the log item pointer they passed in.

While cleaning up, remove the messy and unnecessary "/* ARGUSED */" comments

b199c8a4ba xfs: Pull EFI/EFD handling out from under the AIL lock
EFI/EFD interactions are protected from races by the AIL lock. They
are the only type of log items that require the the AIL lock to
serialise internal state, so they need to be separated from the AIL
lock before we can do bulk insert operations on the AIL.

To acheive this, convert the counter of the number of extents in the
EFI to an atomic so it can be safely manipulated by EFD processing
without locks. Also, convert the EFI state flag manipulations to use
atomic bit operations so no locks are needed to record state
changes. Finally, use the state bits to determine when it is safe to
free the EFI and clean up the code to do this neatly.

9c5f8414ef xfs: fix EFI transaction cancellation.

Basically, when we get an IOP_UNPIN(lip, 1); call from

item descriptor we leak it. Fix the behviour to be correct and kill

6d20e8406f cifs: add attribute cache timeout (actimeo) tunable
Currently, the attribute cache timeout for CIFS is hardcoded to 1 second. This
means that the client might have to issue a QPATHINFO/QFILEINFO call every 1
second to verify if something has changes, which seems too expensive. On the
other hand, if the timeout is hardcoded to a higher value, workloads that
expect strict cache coherency might see unexpected results.

Making attribute cache timeout as a tunable will allow us to make a tradeoff
between performance and cache metadata correctness depending on the
application/workload needs.

Add 'actimeo' tunable that can be used to tune the attribute cache timeout.
The default timeout is set to 1 second. Also, display actimeo option value in
/proc/mounts.

It appears to me that 'actimeo' and the proposed (but not yet merged)
'strictcache' option cannot coexist, so care must be taken that we reset the
other option if one of them is set.

Changes since last post:
   - fix option parsing and handle possible values correcly

430cbeb86f xfs: add a lru to the XFS buffer cache
Introduce a per-buftarg LRU for memory reclaim to operate on. This
is the last piece we need to put in place so that we can fully
control the buffer lifecycle. This allows XFS to be responsibile for
maintaining the working set of buffers under memory pressure instead
of relying on the VM reclaim not to take pages we need out from
underneath us.

The implementation introduces a b_lru_ref counter into the buffer.
This is currently set to 1 whenever the buffer is referenced and so is used to
determine if the buffer should be added to the LRU or not when freed.
Effectively it allows lazy LRU initialisation of the buffer so we do not need
to touch the LRU list and locks in xfs_buf_find().

Instead, when the buffer is being released and we drop the last
reference to it, we check the b_lru_ref count and if it is none zero
we re-add the buffer reference and add the inode to the LRU. The
b_lru_ref counter is decremented by the shrinker, and whenever the
shrinker comes across a buffer with a zero b_lru_ref counter, if
released the LRU reference on the buffer. In the absence of a lookup
race, this will result in the buffer being freed.

This counting mechanism is used instead of a reference flag so that
it is simple to re-introduce buffer-type specific reclaim reference
counts to prioritise reclaim more effectively. We still have all
those hooks in the XFS code, so this will provide the infrastructure
to re-implement that functionality.

Walking btree blocks during allocation checking them requires each
block (a cache hit, so no I/O) call xfs_error_test(), which then
does a random32() call as the first operation.  IOWs, ~50% of the

error, even though error injection is not active.

Kill this overhead when error injection is not active by adding a

de25c1818c xfs: avoid moving stale inodes in the AIL
When an inode has been marked stale because the cluster is being
freed, we don't want to (re-)insert this inode into the AIL. There
is a race condition where the cluster buffer may be unpinned before
the inode is inserted into the AIL during transaction committed
processing. If the buffer is unpinned before the inode item has been
committed and inserted, then it is possible for the buffer to be
released and hence processthe stale inode callbacks before the inode
is inserted into the AIL.

In this case, we then insert a clean, stale inode into the AIL which
will never get removed by an IO completion. It will, however, get
reclaimed and that triggers an assert in xfs_inode_free()
complaining about freeing an inode still in the AIL.

This race can be avoided by not moving stale inodes forward in the AIL
during transaction commit completion processing. This closes the
race condition by ensuring we never insert clean stale inodes into
the AIL. It is safe to do this because a dirty stale inode, by
definition, must already be in the AIL.

309c848002 xfs: delayed alloc blocks beyond EOF are valid after writeback
There is an assumption in the parts of XFS that flushing a dirty
file will make all the delayed allocation blocks disappear from an
inode. That is, that after calling xfs_flush_pages() then
ip->i_delayed_blks will be zero.

This is an invalid assumption as we may have specualtive
preallocation beyond EOF and they are recorded in
ip->i_delayed_blks. A flush of the dirty pages of an inode will not
change the state of these blocks beyond EOF, so a non-zero
deeelalloc block count after a flush is valid.

The bmap code has an invalid ASSERT() that needs to be removed, and
the swapext code has a bug in that while it swaps the data forks
around, it fails to swap the i_delayed_blks counter associated with
the fork and hence can get the block accounting wrong.

90810b9e82 xfs: push stale, pinned buffers on trylock failures
As reported by Nick Piggin, XFS is suffering from long pauses under
highly concurrent workloads when hosted on ramdisks. The problem is
that an inode buffer is stuck in the pinned state in memory and as a
result either the inode buffer or one of the inodes within the
buffer is stopping the tail of the log from being moved forward.

The system remains in this state until a periodic log force issued
by xfssyncd causes the buffer to be unpinned. The main problem is
that these are stale buffers, and are hence held locked until the
transaction/checkpoint that marked them state has been committed to
disk. When the filesystem gets into this state, only the xfssyncd
can cause the async transactions to be committed to disk and hence
unpin the inode buffer.

This problem was encountered when scaling the busy extent list, but
only the blocking lock interface was fixed to solve the problem.
Extend the same fix to the buffer trylock operations - if we fail to
lock a pinned, stale buffer, then force the log immediately so that
when the next attempt to lock it comes around, it will have been
unpinned.

c726de4409 xfs: fix failed write truncation handling.
Since the move to the new truncate sequence we call xfs_setattr to
truncate down excessively instanciated blocks.  As shown by the testcase
in kernel.org BZ #22452 that doesn't work too well.  Due to the confusion
of the internal inode size, and the VFS inode i_size it zeroes data that
it shouldn't.

But full blown truncate seems like overkill here.  We only instanciate
delayed allocations in the write path, and given that we never released
the iolock we can't have converted them to real allocations yet either.

The only nasty case is pre-existing preallocation which we need to skip.
We already do this for page discard during writeback, so make the delayed
allocation block punching a generic function and call it from the failed
write path as well as xfs_aops_discard_page. The callers are
responsible for ensuring that partial blocks are not truncated away,
and that they hold the ilock.

Based on a fix originally from Christoph Hellwig. This version used
filesystem blocks as the range unit.

114279be21 exec: copy-and-paste the fixes into compat_do_execve() paths
Note: this patch targets 2.6.37 and tries to be as simple as possible.
That is why it adds more copy-and-paste horror into fs/compat.c and
uglifies fs/exec.c, this will be cleanuped later.

compat_copy_strings() plays with bprm->vma/mm directly and thus has
two problems: it lacks the RLIMIT_STACK check and argv/envp memory
is not visible to oom killer.

Export acct_arg_size() and get_arg_page(), change compat_copy_strings()
to use get_arg_page(), change compat_do_execve() to do acct_arg_size(0)
as do_execve() does.

Add the fatal_signal_pending/cond_resched checks into compat_count() and
compat_copy_strings(), this matches the code in fs/exec.c and certainly
makes sense.

3c77f84572 exec: make argv/envp memory visible to oom-killer
Brad Spengler published a local memory-allocation DoS that
evades the OOM-killer (though not the virtual memory RLIMIT):
http://www.grsecurity.net/~spender/64bit_dos.c

execve()->copy_strings() can allocate a lot of memory, but
this is not visible to oom-killer, nobody can see the nascent
bprm->mm and take it into account.

With this patch get_arg_page() increments current's MM_ANONPAGES
counter every time we allocate the new page for argv/envp. When
do_execve() succeds or fails, we change this counter back.

Technically this is not 100% correct, we can't know if the new
page is swapped out and turn MM_ANONPAGES into MM_SWAPENTS, but
I don't think this really matters and everything becomes correct
once exec changes ->mm or fails.

ba03864872 cifs: fix parsing of hostname in dfs referrals
The DFS referral parsing code does a memchr() call to find the '\\'
delimiter that separates the hostname in the referral UNC from the
sharename. It then uses that value to set the length of the hostname via
pointer subtraction.  Instead of subtracting the start of the hostname
however, it subtracts the start of the UNC, which causes the code to
pass in a hostname length that is 2 bytes too long.

Regression introduced in commit 1a4240f4.

47a25380e3 GFS2: Merge glock state fields into a bitfield
We can only merge the fields into a bitfield if the locking
rules for them are the same. In this case gl_spin covers all
of the fields (write side) but a couple of them are used
with GLF_LOCK as the read side lock, which should be ok
since we know that the field in question won't be changing
at the time.

The gl_req setting has to be done earlier (in glock.c) in order
to place it under gl_spin. The gl_reply setting also has to be
brought under gl_spin in order to comply with the new rules.

This saves 4*sizeof(unsigned int) per glock.

d9d318d39d fuse: fix ioctl when server is 32bit
If a 32bit CUSE server is run on 64bit this results in EIO being
returned to the caller.

The reason is that FUSE_IOCTL_RETRY reply was defined to use 'struct
iovec', which is different on 32bit and 64bit archs.

Work around this by looking at the size of the reply to determine
which struct was used.  This is only needed if CONFIG_COMPAT is
defined.

A more permanent fix for the interface will be to use the same struct
on both 32bit and 64bit.

0489b3f5eb GFS2: reread rindex when necessary to grow rindex
When GFS2 grew the filesystem, it was never rereading the rindex file during
the grow. This is necessary for large grows when the filesystem is almost full,
and GFS2 needs to use some of the space allocated earlier in the grow to
complete it.  Now, if GFS2 fails to reserve the necessary space and the rindex
file is not uptodate, it rereads it.  Also, the only difference between
gfs2_ri_update() and gfs2_ri_update_special() was that gfs2_ri_update_special()
didn't clear out the existing resource groups, since you knew that it was only
called when there were no resource groups.  Attempting to clear out the
resource groups when there are none takes almost no time, and rarely happens,
so I simply removed gfs2_ri_update_special().

5091faa449 sched: Add 'autogroup' scheduling feature: automated per session task groups
A recurring complaint from CFS users is that parallel kbuild has
a negative impact on desktop interactivity.  This patch
implements an idea from Linus, to automatically create task
groups.  Currently, only per session autogroups are implemented,
but the patch leaves the way open for enhancement.

Implementation: each task's signal struct contains an inherited
pointer to a refcounted autogroup struct containing a task group
pointer, the default for all tasks pointing to the
init_task_group.  When a task calls setsid(), a new task group
is created, the process is moved into the new task group, and a
reference to the preveious task group is dropped.  Child
processes inherit this task group thereafter, and increase it's
refcount.  When the last thread of a process exits, the
process's reference is dropped, such that when the last process
referencing an autogroup exits, the autogroup is destroyed.

At runqueue selection time, IFF a task has no cgroup assignment,
its current autogroup is used.

Autogroup bandwidth is controllable via setting it's nice level
through the proc filesystem:

  cat /proc/<pid>/autogroup

Displays the task's group and the group's nice level.

  echo <nice level> > /proc/<pid>/autogroup

Sets the task group's shares to the weight of nice <level> task.
Setting nice level is rate limited for !admin users due to the
abuse risk of task group locking.

The feature is enabled from boot by default if
CONFIG_SCHED_AUTOGROUP=y is selected, but can be disabled via
the boot option noautogroup, and can also be turned on/off on
the fly via:

  echo [01] > /proc/sys/kernel/sched_autogroup_enabled

... which will automatically move tasks to/from the root task group.
