Commit 14f7dd63 ("Copy XFS readdir hack into nfsd code") introduced a
bug to generic code which had been extant for a long time in the XFS
version -- it started to call through into lookup_one_len() and hence
into the file systems' ->lookup() methods without i_mutex held on the
directory.
This patch fixes it by locking the directory's i_mutex again before
calling the filldir functions. The original deadlocks which commit
14f7dd63 was designed to avoid are still avoided, because they were due
to fs-internal locking, not i_mutex.
While we're at it, fix the return type of nfsd_buffered_readdir() which
should be a __be32 not an int -- it's an NFS errno, not a Linux errno.
And return nfserrno(-ENOMEM) when allocation fails, not just -ENOMEM.
Sparse would have caught that, if it wasn't so busy bitching about
__cold__.
Commit 05f4f678 ("nfsd4: don't do lookup within readdir in recovery
code") introduced a similar problem with calling lookup_one_len()
without i_mutex, which this patch also addresses. To fix that, it was
necessary to fix the called functions so that they expect i_mutex to be
held; that part was done by J. Bruce Fields.

In 64bit signal delivery path, clear_used_math() was happening before saving
the current active FPU state on to the user stack for signal handling. Between
clear_used_math() and the state store on to the user stack, potentially we
can get a page fault for the user address and can block. Infact, while testing
we were hitting the might_fault() in __clear_user() which can do a schedule().
At a later point in time, we will schedule back into this process and
resume the save state (using "xsave/fxsave" instruction) which can lead
to DNA fault. And as used_math was cleared before, we will reinit the FP state
in the DNA fault and continue. This reinit will result in loosing the
FPU state of the process.
Move clear_used_math() to a point after the FPU state has been stored
onto the user stack.
This issue is present from a long time (even before the xsave changes
and the x86 merge). But it can easily be exposed in 2.6.28.x and 2.6.29.x
series because of the __clear_user() in this path, which has an explicit
__cond_resched() leading to a context switch with CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY.

The extent_io writepage call updates the writepage index in the inode
as it makes progress. But, it was doing the update after unlocking the page,
which isn't legal because page->mapping can't be trusted once the page
is unlocked.
This lead to an oops, especially common with compression turned on. The
fix here is to update the writeback index before unlocking the page.

Btrfs is using WRITE_SYNC_PLUG to send down synchronous IOs with a
higher priority. But, the checksumming helper threads prevent it
from being fully effective.
There are two problems. First, a big queue of pending checksumming
will delay the synchronous IO behind other lower priority writes. Second,
the checksumming uses an ordered async work queue. The ordering makes sure
that IOs are sent to the block layer in the same order they are sent
to the checksumming threads. Usually this gives us less seeky IO.
But, when we start mixing IO priorities, the lower priority IO can delay
the higher priority IO.
This patch solves both problems by adding a high priority list to the async
helper threads, and a new btrfs_set_work_high_prio(), which is used
to make put a new async work item onto the higher priority list.
The ordering is still done on high priority IO, but all of the high
priority bios are ordered separately from the low priority bios. This
ordering is purely an IO optimization, it is not involved in data
or metadata integrity.

Part of reducing fsync/O_SYNC/O_DIRECT latencies is using WRITE_SYNC for
writes we plan on waiting on in the near future. This patch
mirrors recent changes in other filesystems and the generic code to
use WRITE_SYNC when WB_SYNC_ALL is passed and to use WRITE_SYNC for
other latency critical writes.
Btrfs uses async worker threads for checksumming before the write is done,
and then again to actually submit the bios. The bio submission code just
runs a per-device list of bios that need to be sent down the pipe.
This list is split into low priority and high priority lists so the
WRITE_SYNC IO happens first.

This patch adds sys_preadv and sys_pwritev to ARM.
These syscalls simply take five long-sized parameters, so they

As the sk_sleep wait queue actually lives in tfile, which may be
detached from the tun device, bad things will happen when we use
sk_sleep after detaching.
Since the tun device is the persistent data structure here (when
requested by the user), it makes much more sense to have the wait
queue live there. There is no reason to have it in tfile at all
since the only time we can wait is if we have a tun attached.
In fact we already have a wait queue in tun_struct, so we might
as well use it.
