This adds:
alias: devname:<name>
to some common kernel modules, which will allow the on-demand loading
of the kernel module when the device node is accessed.
Ideally all these modules would be compiled-in, but distros seems too
much in love with their modularization that we need to cover the common
cases with this new facility. It will allow us to remove a bunch of pretty
useless init scripts and modprobes from init scripts.
The static device node aliases will be carried in the module itself. The
program depmod will extract this information to a file in the module directory:
$ cat /lib/modules/2.6.34-00650-g537b60d-dirty/modules.devname
# Device nodes to trigger on-demand module loading.
microcode cpu/microcode c10:184
fuse fuse c10:229
ppp_generic ppp c108:0
tun net/tun c10:200
dm_mod mapper/control c10:235
Udev will pick up the depmod created file on startup and create all the
static device nodes which the kernel modules specify, so that these modules
get automatically loaded when the device node is accessed:
$ /sbin/udevd --debug
...
static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/cpu/microcode' c10:184
static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/fuse' c10:229
static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/ppp' c108:0
static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/net/tun' c10:200
static_dev_create_from_modules: mknod '/dev/mapper/control' c10:235
udev_rules_apply_static_dev_perms: chmod '/dev/net/tun' 0666
udev_rules_apply_static_dev_perms: chmod '/dev/fuse' 0666
A few device nodes are switched to statically allocated numbers, to allow
the static nodes to work. This might also useful for systems which still run
a plain static /dev, which is completely unsafe to use with any dynamic minor
numbers.
Note:
The devname aliases must be limited to the *common* and *single*instance*
device nodes, like the misc devices, and never be used for conceptually limited
systems like the loop devices, which should rather get fixed properly and get a
control node for losetup to talk to, instead of creating a random number of
device nodes in advance, regardless if they are ever used.
This facility is to hide the mess distros are creating with too modualized
kernels, and just to hide that these modules are not compiled-in, and not to
paper-over broken concepts. Thanks! :)

Because we account for reserved space we get from the allocator before we
actually account for allocating delalloc space, we can have a small window where
the amount of "used" space in a space_info is more than the total amount of
space in the space_info. This will cause a overflow in our check, so it will
seem like we have _tons_ of free space, and we'll allow reservations to occur
that will end up larger than the amount of space we have. I've seen users
report ENOSPC panic's in cow_file_range a few times recently, so I tried to
reproduce this problem and found I could reproduce it if I ran one of my tests
in a loop for like 20 minutes. With this patch my test ran all night without

setup_leaf_for_split needs to drop the path and search again, and has
checks to see if the item we want to split changed size. But, it misses
the case where the leaf changed and now has enough room for the item
we want to insert.
This adds an extra check to make sure the leaf really needs splitting
before we call btrfs_split_leaf(), which keeps us from trying to split
a leaf with a single item.
btrfs_split_leaf() will blindly split the single item leaf, leaving us
with one good leaf and one empty leaf and then a crash.

This creates the reference to a new snapshot in the same commit as the
snapshot itself. This avoids the need for a second commit in order for a
snapshot to be persistent, and also avoids the problem of "leaking" a
new snapshot tree root if the host crashes before the second commit takes
place.
It is not at all clear to me why it wasn't always done this way. If there
is still a reason for the two-stage {create,finish}_pending_snapshots()
approach I'm missing something! :)

Everytime we start a new flushing thread, we init the waitqueue if there isn't a
flushing thread running. The problem with this is we check
space_info->flushing, which we clear right before doing a wake_up on the
flushing waitqueue, which causes problems if we init the waitqueue in the middle
of clearing the flushing flagh and calling wake_up. This is hard to hit, but
the code is wrong anyway, so init the flushing/allocating waitqueue when
creating the space info and let it be. I haven't seen the panic since I've been
using this patch. Thanks,

add_to_page_cache_lru is exported, so it should be used. Benefits over

As Yan pointed out, theres not much reason for all this complicated math to
account for file extents being split up into max_extent chunks, since they are

We don't actually check the return value of btrfs_read_block_groups, so we can
possibly succeed to mount, but then fail to say read the superblock xattr for
selinux which will cause the vfs code to deactivate the super.
This is a problem because in find_free_extent we just assume that we
will find the right space_info for the allocation we want. But if we
failed to read the block groups, we won't have setup any space_info's,
and we'll hit a NULL pointer deref in find_free_extent.
This patch fixes that problem by checking the return value of
btrfs_read_block_groups, and failing out properly. I've also added a
check in find_free_extent so if for some reason we don't find an
appropriate space_info, we just return -ENOSPC.

fs/btrfs/ioctl.c: ctree.h is included more than once.
Signed-off-by: Andrea Gelmini <andrea.gelmini@gelma.net>
Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

This is used by the inode lookup ioctl to follow all the backrefs up
to the subvol root. But the search being done would sometimes land one
past the last item in the leaf instead of finding the backref.
This changes the search to look for the highest possible backref and hop
back one item. It also fixes a leaked path on failure to find the root.

When a root id of 0 is sent to the inode lookup ioctl, it will

The search ioctl was working well for finding tree roots, but using it for
generic searches requires a few changes to how the keys are advanced.
This treats the search control min fields for objectid, type and offset
more like a key, where we drop the offset to zero once we bump the type,
etc.
The downside of this is that we are changing the min_type and min_offset
fields during the search, and so the ioctl caller needs extra checks to make sure
the keys in the result are the ones it wanted.
This also changes key_in_sk to use btrfs_comp_cpu_keys, just to make
things more readable.

That means for a sequential read, the page first submitted will finish
