34ca959cfc [PATCH] autofs4: add v5 follow_link mount trigger method
This patch adds a follow_link inode method for the root of an autofs direct
mount trigger.  It also adds the corresponding mount options and updates the
show_mount method.

051d381259 [PATCH] autofs4: nameidata needs to be up to date for follow_link
In order to be able to trigger a mount using the follow_link inode method the
nameidata struct that is passed in needs to have the vfsmount of the autofs
trigger not its parent.

During a path walk if an autofs trigger is mounted on a dentry, when the
follow_link method is called, the nameidata struct contains the vfsmount and
mountpoint dentry of the parent mount while the dentry that is passed in is
the root of the autofs trigger mount.  I believe it is impossible to get the
vfsmount of the trigger mount, within the follow_link method, when only the
parent vfsmount and the root dentry of the trigger mount are known.

This patch updates the nameidata struct on entry to __do_follow_link if it
detects that it is out of date.  It moves the path_to_nameidata to above
__do_follow_link to facilitate calling it from there.  The dput_path is moved
as well as that seemed sensible.  No changes are made to these two functions.

e0a7aae940 [PATCH] autofs4: expire mounts that hold no (extra) references only
Alter the expire semantics that define how "busyness" is determined.
Currently a last_used counter is updated on every revalidate from processes
other than the mount owner process group.

This patch changes that so that an expire candidate is busy only if it has a
reference count greater than the expected minimum, such as when there is an
open file or working directory in use.

This method is the only way that busyness can be established for direct mounts
within the new implementation.  For consistency the expire semantic is made
the same for all mounts.

A side effect of the patch is that mounts which remain mounted unessessarily
in the presence of some GUI programs that scan the filesystem should now
expire.

1aff3c8b05 [PATCH] autofs4: fix false negative return from expire
Fix the case where an expire returns busy on a tree mount when it is in fact
not busy.  This case was overlooked when the patch to prevent the expiring
away of "scaffolding" directories for tree mounts was applied.

The problem arises when a tree of mounts is a member of a map with other keys.
 The current logic will not expire the tree if any other mount in the map is
busy.  The solution is to maintain a "minimum" use count for each autofs
dentry and compare this to the actual dentry usage count during expire.

2d753e62b8 [PATCH] autofs4: can't mount due to mount point dir not empty
Addresse a problem where stale dentrys stop mounts from happening.

When a mount point directory is pre-created and a non-existent entry within it
is requested a dentry ends up being created within the mount point directory
which stops future mounts.  The problem is solved by ignoring negative,
unhashed dentrys in the mount point d_subdirs list.

Additionally the apparent cacheing of -ENOENT returns from requests is
removed.  The test on d_time is a tautology and d_time is not initialised and
has an unexpected value.  In short it doesn't do what it's meant to.

The cacheing of failed requests to the daemon is important and will be
followed up later.

fa30bd058b [PATCH] map multiple blocks for mpage_readpages()
This patch changes mpage_readpages() and get_block() to get the disk mapping
information for multiple blocks at the same time.

b_size represents the amount of disk mapping that needs to mapped.  On the
successful get_block() b_size indicates the amount of disk mapping thats
actually mapped.  Only the filesystems who care to use this information and
provide multiple disk blocks at a time can choose to do so.

No changes are needed for the filesystems who wants to ignore this.

d48589bfad [PATCH] ext3_get_blocks: Adjust reservation window size for mblocks
Optimize the block reservation and the multiple block allocation: with the
knowledge of the total number of blocks ahead, set or adjust the reservation
window size properly (based on the number of blocks needed) before block
allocation happens: if there isn't any reservation yet, make sure the
reservation window equals to or greater than the number of blocks needed,
before create an reservation window; if a reservation window is already
exists, try to extends the window size to match the number of blocks to
allocate.  This could increase the possibility of completing multiple blocks
allocation in a single request, as blocks are only allocated in the range of
the inode's reservation window.

89747d369d [PATCH] ext3_get_blocks: Mapping multiple blocks at a once
Currently ext3_get_block() only maps or allocates one block at a time.  This
is quite inefficient for sequential IO workload.

I have posted a early implements a simply multiple block map and allocation
with current ext3.  The basic idea is allocating the 1st block in the existing
way, and attempting to allocate the next adjacent blocks on a best effort
basis.  More description about the implementation could be found here:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=ext2-devel&m=112162230003522&w=2

The following the latest version of the patch: break the original patch into 5
patches, re-worked some logicals, and fixed some bugs.  The break ups are:

 [patch 1] Adding map multiple blocks at a time in ext3_get_blocks()
 [patch 2] Extend ext3_get_blocks() to support multiple block allocation
 [patch 3] Implement multiple block allocation in ext3-try-to-allocate
 (called via ext3_new_block()).
 [patch 4] Proper accounting updates in ext3_new_blocks()
 [patch 5] Adjust reservation window size properly (by the given number
 of blocks to allocate) before block allocation to increase the
 possibility of allocating multiple blocks in a single call.

Tests done so far includes fsx,tiobench and dbench.  The following numbers
collected from Direct IO tests (1G file creation/read) shows the system time
have been greatly reduced (more than 50% on my 8 cpu system) with the patches.

 1G file DIO write:
 	2.6.15		2.6.15+patches
 real    0m31.275s	0m31.161s
 user    0m0.000s	0m0.000s
 sys     0m3.384s	0m0.564s

 1G file DIO read:
 	2.6.15		2.6.15+patches
 real    0m30.733s	0m30.624s
 user    0m0.000s	0m0.004s
 sys     0m0.748s	0m0.380s

Some previous test we did on buffered IO with using multiple blocks allocation
and delayed allocation shows noticeable improvement on throughput and system
time.

This patch:

Add support of mapping multiple blocks in one call.

This is useful for DIO reads and re-writes (where blocks are already
allocated), also is in line with Christoph's proposal of using getblocks() in
mpage_readpage() or mpage_readpages().

fa3536cc14 [PATCH] Use __read_mostly on some hot fs variables
I discovered on oprofile hunting on a SMP platform that dentry lookups were
slowed down because d_hash_mask, d_hash_shift and dentry_hashtable were in
a cache line that contained inodes_stat.  So each time inodes_stats is
changed by a cpu, other cpus have to refill their cache line.

This patch moves some variables to the __read_mostly section, in order to
avoid false sharing.  RCU dentry lookups can go full speed.

2ff28e22bd [PATCH] Make address_space_operations->invalidatepage return void
The return value of this function is never used, so let's be honest and
declare it as void.

Some places where invalidatepage returned 0, I have inserted comments
suggesting a BUG_ON.

64a07bd82e [PATCH] protect remove_proc_entry
It has been discovered that the remove_proc_entry has a race in the removing
of entries in the proc file system that are siblings.  There's no protection
around the traversing and removing of elements that belong in the same
subdirectory.

This subdirectory list is protected in other areas by the BKL.  So the BKL was
at first used to protect this area too, but unfortunately, remove_proc_entry
may be called with spinlocks held.  The BKL may schedule, so this was not a
solution.

The final solution was to add a new global spin lock to protect this list,
called proc_subdir_lock.  This lock now protects the list in
remove_proc_entry, and I also went around looking for other areas that this
list is modified and added this protection there too.  Care must be taken
since these locations call several functions that may also schedule.

Since I don't see any location that these functions that modify the
subdirectory list are called by interrupts, the irqsave/restore versions of
the spin lock was _not_ used.

913bd90601 [PATCH] x86_64: Increase the variability of the process stack on 64bit architectures
8MB is not really very random, use 1GB (or more with larger page sizes)
instead.

Also use the low bits of the random generator output now instead of
throwing them away.

Only enabled on x86-64 right now. Other architectures need to add
a suitable STACK_RND_MASK
