When an I/O error occurs during an intermediate commit on a rolling
transaction, xfs_trans_commit() will free the transaction structure
and the related ticket. However, the duplicate transaction that
gets used as the transaction continues still contains a pointer
to the ticket. Hence when the duplicate transaction is cancelled
and freed, we free the ticket a second time.
Add reference counting to the ticket so that we hold an extra
reference to the ticket over the transaction commit. We drop the
extra reference once we have checked that the transaction commit
did not return an error, thus avoiding a double free on commit
error.
Credit to Nick Piggin for tripping over the problem.

xfs_bulkstat only wants the dinode, offset and buffer from a given inode
number. Instead of using xfs_itobp on a fake inode which is complicated
and currently leads to leaks of the security data just use xfs_inotobp
which is designed to do exactly the kind of lookup xfs_bulkstat wants. The
only thing that's missing in xfs_inotobp is a flags paramter that let's us
pass down XFS_IMAP_BULKSTAT, but that can easily added.

Change all the remaining AIL API functions that are passed struct
xfs_mount pointers to pass pointers directly to the struct xfs_ail being
used. With this conversion, all external access to the AIL is via the
struct xfs_ail. Hence the operation and referencing of the AIL is almost
entirely independent of the xfs_mount that is using it - it is now much
more tightly tied to the log and the items it is tracking in the log than
it is tied to the xfs_mount.

When copying lsn's from the log item to the inode or dquot flush lsn, we

Make the LSN copying a small function, and make the function used
conditional on BITS_PER_LONG so that 64 bit machines don't need to take

To avoid issues with different lifecycles of XFS and Linux inodes, embedd
the linux inode inside the XFS inode. This means that the linux inode has
the same lifecycle as the XFS inode, even when it has been released by the

at most), so there isn't significant memory usage penalties here.

It's possible to have outstanding xfs_ioend_t's queued when the file size
is zero. This can happen in the direct I/O path when a direct I/O write
fails due to ENOSPC. In this case the xfs_ioend_t will still be queued (ie
xfs_end_io_direct() does not know that the I/O failed so can't force the
xfs_ioend_t to be flushed synchronously).
When we truncate a file on unlink we don't know to wait for these
xfs_ioend_ts and we can have a use-after-free situation if the inode is
reclaimed before the xfs_ioend_t is finally processed.
As was suggested by Dave Chinner lets wait for all I/Os to complete when
truncating the file size to zero.

Yet another bug was found in xfs_iext_irec_compact_full() and while the
source of the bug was found it wasn't an easy task to track it down
because the conditions are very difficult to reproduce.
A HUGE thank-you goes to Russell Cattelan and Eric Sandeen for their
significant effort in tracking down the source of this corruption.
xfs_iext_irec_compact_full() and xfs_iext_irec_compact_pages() are almost
identical - they both compact indirect extent lists by moving extents from
subsequent buffers into earlier ones. xfs_iext_irec_compact_pages() only
moves extents if all of the extents in the next buffer will fit into the
empty space in the buffer before it. xfs_iext_irec_compact_full() will go
a step further and move part of the next buffer if all the extents wont
fit. It will then shift the remaining extents in the next buffer up to the
start of the buffer. The bug here was that we did not update er_extoff and
this caused extent list corruption.
It does not appear that this extra functionality gains us much. Calling
xfs_iext_irec_compact_pages() instead will do a good enough job at
compacting the indirect list and will be quicker too.
For the case in xfs_iext_indirect_to_direct() the total number of extents
in the indirect list will fit into one buffer so we will never need the
extra functionality of xfs_iext_irec_compact_full() there.
Also xfs_iext_irec_compact_pages() doesn't need to do a memmove() (the
buffers will never overlap) so we don't want the performance hit that can
incur.

The patches that are intended to introduce copy-on-write credentials for 2.6.28
require abstraction of access to some fields of the task structure,
particularly for the case of one task accessing another's credentials where RCU
will have to be observed.
Introduced here are trivial no-op versions of the desired accessors for current
and other tasks so that other subsystems can start to be converted over more
easily.
Wrappers are introduced into a new header (linux/cred.h) for UID/GID,
EUID/EGID, SUID/SGID, FSUID/FSGID, cap_effective and current's subscribed
user_struct. These wrappers are macros because the ordering between header
files mitigates against making them inline functions.
linux/cred.h is #included from linux/sched.h.
Further, XFS is modified such that it no longer defines and uses parameterised
versions of current_fs[ug]id(), thus getting rid of the namespace collision
otherwise incurred.

If we allow incore extent tree allocations to recurse into the

xfs_iomap_write_delay() can deadlock on themselves if memory
reclaim tries to write back dirty pages from that inode.
It will deadlock in xfs_iomap_write_allocate() trying to take the
ilock we already hold. This can also show up as complex ABBA deadlocks
when multiple threads are triggering memory reclaim when trying to
allocate extents.
The main cause of this is the fact that delayed allocation is not done in
a transaction, so KM_NOFS is not automatically added to the allocations to
prevent this recursion.
Mark all allocations done for the incore inode extent tree as KM_NOFS to
ensure they never recurse back into the filesystem.

Remove the xfs_icluster structure and replace with a radix tree lookup.
We don't need to keep a list of inodes in each cluster around anymore as
we can look them up quickly when we need to. The only time we need to do
this now is during inode writeback.
Factor the inode cluster writeback code out of xfs_iflush and convert it
to use radix_tree_gang_lookup() instead of walking a list of inodes built
when we first read in the inodes.
This remove 3 pointers from each xfs_inode structure and the xfs_icluster
structure per inode cluster. Hence we reduce the cache footprint of the
xfs_inodes by between 5-10% depending on cluster sparseness.
To be truly efficient we need a radix_tree_gang_lookup_range() call to
stop searching once we are past the end of the cluster instead of trying
to find a full cluster's worth of inodes.

When pdflush is writing back inodes, it can get stuck on inode cluster
buffers that are currently under I/O. This occurs when we write data to
multiple inodes in the same inode cluster at the same time.
Effectively, delayed allocation marks the inode dirty during the data
writeback. Hence if the inode cluster was flushed during the writeback of
the first inode, the writeback of the second inode will block waiting for
the inode cluster write to complete before writing it again for the newly
dirtied inode.
Basically, we want to avoid this from happening so we don't block pdflush
and slow down all of writeback. Hence we introduce a non-blocking async
inode flush flag that pdflush uses. If this flag is set, we use
non-blocking operations (e.g. try locks) whereever we can to avoid
blocking or extra I/O being issued.

The only difference between the functions is one passes an inode for the
lookup, the other passes an inode number. However, they don't do the same
validity checking or set all the same state on the buffer that is returned
yet they should.
Factor the functions into a common implementation.

Remove macro-to-small-function indirection from xfs_sb.h, and remove some
which are completely unused.

Now that all direct caller of xfs_iaccess are gone we can kill xfs_iaccess
and xfs_access and just use generic_permission with a check_acl callback.
This is required for the per-mount read-only patchset in -mm to work
properly with XFS.

Currently XFS_IFORK_* and XFS_DFORK* are implemented by means of
XFS_CFORK* macros. But given that XFS_IFORK_* operates on an xfs_inode
that embedds and xfs_icdinode_core and XFS_DFORK_* operates on an
xfs_dinode that embedds a xfs_dinode_core one will have to do endian
swapping while the other doesn't. Instead of having the current mess with
the CFORK macros that have byteswapping and non-byteswapping version
(which are inconsistantly named while we're at it) just define each family
of the macros to stand by itself and simplify the whole matter.
A few direct references to the CFORK variants were cleaned up to use IFORK
or DFORK to make this possible.

Use XFS_IS_REALTIME_INODE in more places, and #define it to 0 if
CONFIG_XFS_RT is off. This should be safe because mount checks in
xfs_rtmount_init:
so if we get mounted w/o CONFIG_XFS_RT, no realtime inodes should be
encountered after that.
Defining XFS_IS_REALTIME_INODE to 0 saves a bit of stack space,
presumeably gcc can optimize around the various "if (0)" type checks:
xfs_alloc_file_space -8 xfs_bmap_adjacent -16 xfs_bmapi -8
xfs_bmap_rtalloc -16 xfs_bunmapi -28 xfs_free_file_space -64 xfs_imap +8
<-- ? hmm. xfs_iomap_write_direct -12 xfs_qm_dqusage_adjust -4
xfs_qm_vop_chown_reserve -4

The log force added in xfs_iget_core() has been a performance issue since
it was introduced for tight loops that allocate then unlink a single file.
under heavy writeback, this can introduce unnecessary latency due tothe
log I/o getting stuck behind bulk data writes.
Fix this latency problem by avoinding the need for the log force by moving
the place we mark linux inode dirty to the transaction commit rather than
on transaction completion.
This also closes a potential hole in the sync code where a linux inode is
not dirty between the time it is modified and the time the log buffer has
been written to disk.
