increases XFS stack usage by ~15% in critical paths. Prevent this from

Also uninline some functions that are too large to be inlined and were
causing problems with CONFIG_FORCED_INLINING=y.
Finally, clean up all the different users of inline, __inline and
__inline__ and put them under one STATIC_INLINE macro. For debug kernels
the STATIC_INLINE macro uninlines those functions.

At the last stage of a freeze, we flush the buftarg synchronously over and
over again until it succeeds twice without skipping any buffers.
The delwri list flush skips pinned buffers, but tries to flush all others.
It removes the buffers from the delwri list, then tries to lock them one
at a time as it traverses the list to issue the I/O. It holds them locked
until we issue all of the I/O and then unlocks them once we've waited for
it to complete.
The problem is that during a freeze, the filesystem may still be doing
stuff - like flushing delalloc data buffers - in the background and hence
we can be trying to lock buffers that were on the delwri list at the same
time. Hence we can get ABBA deadlocks between threads doing allocation and
the buftarg flush (freeze) thread.
Fix it by skipping locked (and pinned) buffers as we traverse the delwri
buffer list.

XFS appears to call clear_page_dirty to get the mapping tree dirty tag
set correctly at the same time the page dirty flag is cleared. I note
that this can be done by set_page_writeback() if we clear the dirty flag
on the page first when we are writing back the entire page.
Hence it seems to me that the XFS call to clear_page_dirty() could
easily be substituted by clear_page_dirty_for_io() followed by a call to
set_page_writeback() to get the mapping tree tags set correctly after
the page has been marked clean.

The only time it is safe to call aio_complete() is when the ->ki_retry
function returns -EIOCBQUEUED to the AIO core. direct_io_worker() has
historically done this by relying on its caller to translate positive return
codes into -EIOCBQUEUED for the aio case. It did this by trying to keep
conditionals in sync. direct_io_worker() knew when finished_one_bio() was
going to call aio_complete(). It would reverse the test and wait and free the
dio in the cases it thought that finished_one_bio() wasn't going to.
Not surprisingly, it ended up getting it wrong. 'ret' could be a negative
errno from the submission path but it failed to communicate this to
finished_one_bio(). direct_io_worker() would return < 0, it's callers
wouldn't raise -EIOCBQUEUED, and aio_complete() would be called. In the
future finished_one_bio()'s tests wouldn't reflect this and aio_complete()
would be called for a second time which can manifest as an oops.
The previous cleanups have whittled the sync and async completion paths down
to the point where we can collapse them and clearly reassert the invariant
that we must only call aio_complete() after returning -EIOCBQUEUED.
direct_io_worker() will only return -EIOCBQUEUED when it is not the last to
drop the dio refcount and the aio bio completion path will only call
aio_complete() when it is the last to drop the dio refcount.
direct_io_worker() can ensure that it is the last to drop the reference count
by waiting for bios to drain. It does this for sync ops, of course, and for
partial dio writes that must fall back to buffered and for aio ops that saw
errors during submission.
This means that operations that end up waiting, even if they were issued as
aio ops, will not call aio_complete() from dio. Instead we return the return
code of the operation and let the aio core call aio_complete(). This is
purposely done to fix a bug where AIO DIO file extensions would call
aio_complete() before their callers have a chance to update i_size.
Now that direct_io_worker() is explicitly returning -EIOCBQUEUED its callers
no longer have to translate for it. XFS needs to be careful not to free
resources that will be used during AIO completion if -EIOCBQUEUED is returned.
We maintain the previous behaviour of trying to write fs metadata for O_SYNC
aio+dio writes.

This complements the get_sb() patch. That reduced the significance of

require a dentry to use as a target for the statfs operation. This permits
the root in the vfsmount to be used instead.

Extend the get_sb() filesystem operation to take an extra argument that
permits the VFS to pass in the target vfsmount that defines the mountpoint.
The filesystem is then required to manually set the superblock and root dentry
pointers. For most filesystems, this should be done with simple_set_mnt()
which will set the superblock pointer and then set the root dentry to the
superblock's s_root (as per the old default behaviour).
The get_sb() op now returns an integer as there's now no need to return the
superblock pointer.
This patch permits a superblock to be implicitly shared amongst several mount
points, such as can be done with NFS to avoid potential inode aliasing. In
such a case, simple_set_mnt() would not be called, and instead the mnt_root
and mnt_sb would be set directly.
The patch also makes the following changes:
(*) the get_sb_*() convenience functions in the core kernel now take a vfsmount
pointer argument and return an integer, so most filesystems have to change
very little.
(*) If one of the convenience function is not used, then get_sb() should
normally call simple_set_mnt() to instantiate the vfsmount. This will
always return 0, and so can be tail-called from get_sb().
(*) generic_shutdown_super() now calls shrink_dcache_sb() to clean up the
dcache upon superblock destruction rather than shrink_dcache_anon().
This is required because the superblock may now have multiple trees that
aren't actually bound to s_root, but that still need to be cleaned up. The
currently called functions assume that the whole tree is rooted at s_root,
and that anonymous dentries are not the roots of trees which results in
dentries being left unculled.
However, with the way NFS superblock sharing are currently set to be
implemented, these assumptions are violated: the root of the filesystem is
simply a dummy dentry and inode (the real inode for '/' may well be
inaccessible), and all the vfsmounts are rooted on anonymous[*] dentries
with child trees.
[*] Anonymous until discovered from another tree.
(*) The documentation has been adjusted, including the additional bit of
changing ext2_* into foo_* in the documentation.

Change the kmem_cache_create calls for certain slab caches to support cpuset
memory spreading.
See the previous patches, cpuset_mem_spread, for an explanation of cpuset
memory spreading, and cpuset_mem_spread_slab_cache for the slab cache support
for memory spreading.
The slab caches marked for now are: dentry_cache, inode_cache, some xfs slab
caches, and buffer_head. This list may change over time. In particular,
other file system types that are used extensively on large NUMA systems may
want to allow for spreading their directory and inode slab cache entries.

When we stop allocating percpu memory for not-possible CPUs we must not touch
the percpu data for not-possible CPUs at all. The correct way of doing this
is to test cpu_possible() or to use for_each_cpu().
This patch is a kernel-wide sweep of all instances of NR_CPUS. I found very
few instances of this bug, if any. But the patch converts lots of open-coded
test to use the preferred helper macros.

A version is provided that migrates buffers attached to pages. Some

The swapper address space operation are modified so that a regular

Turn noatime and nodiratime into per-mount instead of per-sb flags.
After all the preparations this is a rather trivial patch. The mount code
needs to treat the two options as per-mount instead of per-superblock, and
touch_atime needs to be changed to check the new MNT_ flags in addition to
the MS_ flags that are kept for filesystems that are always
noatime/nodiratime but not user settable anymore. Besides that core code
only nfs needed an update because it's leaving atime updates to the server
and thus sets the S_NOATIME flag on every inode, but needs to know whether
it's a real noatime mount for an getattr optimization.
While we're at it I've killed the IS_NOATIME/IS_NODIRATIME macros that were
only used by touch_atime.

This patch add EXPORT_SYMBOL(filemap_write_and_wait) and use it.
See mm/filemap.c:
And changes the filemap_write_and_wait() and filemap_write_and_wait_range().
Current filemap_write_and_wait() doesn't wait if filemap_fdatawrite()
returns error. However, even if filemap_fdatawrite() returned an
error, it may have submitted the partially data pages to the device.
(e.g. in the case of -ENOSPC)
<quotation>
Andrew Morton writes,
If filemap_fdatawrite() returns an error, this might be due to some
I/O problem: dead disk, unplugged cable, etc. Given the generally
crappy quality of the kernel's handling of such exceptions, there's a
good chance that the filemap_fdatawait() will get stuck in D state
forever.
</quotation>
So, this patch doesn't wait if filemap_fdatawrite() returns the -EIO.

Christoph Lameter demonstrated very poor scalability on the SGI 512-way, with
a many-threaded application which concurrently initializes different parts of
a large anonymous area.
This patch corrects that, by using a separate spinlock per page table page, to
guard the page table entries in that page, instead of using the mm's single
page_table_lock. (But even then, page_table_lock is still used to guard page
table allocation, and anon_vma allocation.)
In this implementation, the spinlock is tucked inside the struct page of the
page table page: with a BUILD_BUG_ON in case it overflows - which it would in
the case of 32-bit PA-RISC with spinlock debugging enabled.
Splitting the lock is not quite for free: another cacheline access. Ideally,
I suppose we would use split ptlock only for multi-threaded processes on
multi-cpu machines; but deciding that dynamically would have its own costs.
So for now enable it by config, at some number of cpus - since the Kconfig
language doesn't support inequalities, let preprocessor compare that with
NR_CPUS. But I don't think it's worth being user-configurable: for good
testing of both split and unsplit configs, split now at 4 cpus, and perhaps
change that to 8 later.
There is a benefit even for singly threaded processes: kswapd can be attacking
one part of the mm while another part is busy faulting.

- ->releasepage() annotated (s/int/gfp_t), instances updated
- missing gfp_t in fs/* added
- fixed misannotation from the original sweep caught by bitwise checks:
XFS used __nocast both for gfp_t and for flags used by XFS allocator.
The latter left with unsigned int __nocast; we might want to add a
different type for those but for now let's leave them alone. That,
BTW, is a case when __nocast use had been actively confusing - it had
been used in the same code for two different and similar types, with
no way to catch misuses. Switch of gfp_t to bitwise had caught that
immediately...
