Refactor xfs_btree_readahead to make it more readable:
(a) remove the inline xfs_btree_readahead wrapper and move all checks out
of line into the main routine.
(b) factor out helpers for short/long form btrees
(c) move check for root in inodes from the callers into
xfs_btree_readahead

The bmap btree is rooted in the inode and not in a disk block. Make the
support for this feature more generic by adding a btree flag to for this
feature instead of relying on the XFS_BTNUM_BMAP btnum check.
Also clean up xfs_btree_get_block where this new flag is used.

Add generic union types for btree pointers, keys and records. The generic
btree pointer contains either a 32 and 64bit big endian scalar for short
and long form btrees, and the key and record contain the relevant type for
each possible btree.
Split out from a bigger patch from Dave Chinner and simplified a little
further.

xfs_btree_init_cursor contains close to little shared code for the
different btrees and will get even more non-common code in the future.
Split it up into one routine per btree type.
Because xfs_btree_dup_cursor needs to call the init routine for a generic
btree cursor add a new btree operation vector that contains a dup_cursor
method that initializes a new cursor based on an existing one.
The btree operations vector is based on an idea and code from Dave Chinner
and will grow more entries later during this series.

This type is only embedded in struct xfs_btree_block and never used
directly. By moving the fields directly into struct xfs_btree_block a lot
of the macros for struct xfs_btree_sblock and struct xfs_btree_lblock can
be used for struct xfs_btree_block too now which helps greatly with some
of the migrations during implementing the generic btree code.

Destroying the quota stuff on unmount can access the log - ie
XFS_QM_DONE() ends up in xfs_dqunlock() which calls
xfs_trans_unlocked_item() and then xfs_log_move_tail(). By this time the
log has already been destroyed. Just move the cleanup of the quota code
earlier in xfs_unmountfs() before the call to xfs_log_unmount(). Moving
XFS_QM_DONE() up near XFS_QM_DQPURGEALL() seems like a good spot.

To avoid having to initialise some fields of the XFS inode on every

we have to guarantee is that when we free the inode, all it's entries are
in the initial state. Add asserts where possible to ensure debug kernels
check this initial state before freeing and after allocation.

In commit f337b9c583 ("epoll: drop
unnecessary test") Thomas found that there is an unnecessary (always
true) test in ep_send_events(). The callback never inserts into
->rdllink while the send loop is performed, and also does the
~EP_PRIVATE_BITS test. Given we're holding the mutex during this time,
the conditions tested inside the loop are always true.
HOWEVER.
The test "!ep_is_linked(&epi->rdllink)" wasn't there because we insert
into ->rdllink, but because the send-events loop might terminate before
the whole list is scanned (-EFAULT).
In such cases, when the loop terminates early, and when a (leftover)
file received an event while we're performing the lockless loop, we need
such test to avoid to double insert the epoll items. The list_splice()
done a few steps below, will correctly re-insert the ones that were left
on "txlist".
This should fix the kenrel.org bugzilla entry 11831.

Some userland apps seem to pass in a "0" for the seconds, and several
seconds worth of usecs to select(). The old kernels accepted this just
fine, so the new kernels must too.
However, due to the upscaling of the microseconds to nanoseconds we had
some cases where we got math overflow, and depending on the GCC version
(due to inlining decisions) that actually resulted in an -EINVAL return.
This patch fixes this by adding the excess microseconds to the seconds
field.

The __log_wait_for_space function sits in a loop checkpointing
transactions until there is sufficient space free in the journal.
However, if there are no transactions to be processed (e.g. because the
free space calculation is wrong due to a corrupted filesystem) it will
never progress.
Check for space being required when no transactions are outstanding and
abort the journal instead of endlessly looping.

If the journal has aborted due to a checkpointing failure, we have to
keep the contents of the journal space. Otherwise, the filesystem will
lose uncheckpointed metadata completely and become inconsistent. To
avoid this, we need to keep needs_recovery flag if checkpoint has
failed.
With this patch, ext3_put_super() detects a checkpointing failure from
the return value of journal_destroy(), then it invokes ext3_abort() to
make the filesystem read only and keep needs_recovery flag. Errors
from journal_flush() are also handled by this patch in some places.

When a checkpointing IO fails, current JBD code doesn't check the error
and continue journaling. This means latest metadata can be lost from both
the journal and filesystem.
This patch leaves the failed metadata blocks in the journal space and
aborts journaling in the case of log_do_checkpoint(). To achieve this, we
need to do:
1. don't remove the failed buffer from the checkpoint list where in
the case of __try_to_free_cp_buf() because it may be released or
overwritten by a later transaction
2. log_do_checkpoint() is the last chance, remove the failed buffer
from the checkpoint list and abort the journal
3. when checkpointing fails, don't update the journal super block to
prevent the journaled contents from being cleaned. For safety,
don't update j_tail and j_tail_sequence either
4. when checkpointing fails, notify this error to the ext3 layer so
that ext3 don't clear the needs_recovery flag, otherwise the
journaled contents are ignored and cleaned in the recovery phase
5. if the recovery fails, keep the needs_recovery flag
6. prevent cleanup_journal_tail() from being called between
__journal_drop_transaction() and journal_abort() (a race issue
between journal_flush() and __log_wait_for_space()

Commit 4752c36978 aka
"maps4: simplify interdependence of maps and smaps" broke /proc/pid/smaps,

The bug has something to do with setting m->version before all the
seq_printf's have been performed. show_map was doing this correctly,
but show_smap was doing this in the middle of its seq_printf sequence.
This patch arranges things so that the setting of m->version in show_smap
is also done at the end of its seq_printf sequence.
Testing: in addition to the above grep test, for each process I summed
up the 'Rss' fields of /proc/pid/smaps and compared that to the 'VmRSS'
field of /proc/pid/status. All matched except for Xorg (which has a
/dev/mem mapping which Rss accounts for but VmRSS does not). This result
gives us some confidence that neither /proc/pid/maps nor /proc/pid/smaps
are any longer skipping or double-counting vmas.

For execute permission on a regular files we need to check if file has

This check is normally performed by generic_permission() but was also
added to the case when the filesystem defines its own ->permission()
method. In the latter case the filesystem should be responsible for
performing this check.
Move the check from inode_permission() inside filesystems which are
not calling generic_permission().
Create a helper function execute_ok() that returns true if the inode
is a directory or if any execute bits are present in i_mode.

Some file systems with their own internal locking have problems with the
way that nfsd calls the ->lookup() method from within a filldir function
called from their ->readdir() method. The recursion back into the file
system code can cause deadlock.
XFS has a fairly hackish solution to this which involves doing the
readdir() into a locally-allocated buffer, then going back through it
calling the filldir function afterwards. It's not ideal, but it works.
It's particularly suboptimal because XFS does this for local file
systems too, where it's completely unnecessary.
Copy this hack into the NFS code where it can be used only for NFS
export. In response to feedback, use it unconditionally rather than only
for the affected file systems.
