Theodore Ts'o 96ec2e0a71 ext3: Don't update superblock write time when filesystem is read-only
This avoids updating the superblock write time when we are mounting
the root file system read/only but we need to replay the journal; at
that point, for people who are east of GMT and who make their clock
tick in localtime for Windows bug-for-bug compatibility, and this will
cause e2fsck to complain and force a full file system check.

An interestingly corrupted romfs file system exposed a problem with the

Rather than limit the string to the length passed in by the callers, it

Chris Mason ac6889cbb2 Btrfs: fix file clone ioctl for bookend extents
The file clone ioctl was incorrectly taking the offset into the
extent on disk into account when calculating the length of the
cloned extent.

The length never changes based on the offset into the physical extent.

Test case:

fallocate -l 1g image
mke2fs image
bcp image image2
e2fsck -f image2

(errors on image2)

The math bug ends up wrapping the length of the extent, and things
go wrong from there.

Josef Bacik ff782e0a13 Btrfs: optimize fsync for the single writer case
This patch optimizes the tree logging stuff so it doesn't always wait 1 jiffie
for new people to join the logging transaction if there is only ever 1 writer.
This helps a little bit with latency where we have something like RPM where it
will fdatasync every file it writes, and so waiting the 1 jiffie for every
fdatasync really starts to add up.

Josef Bacik e3ccfa9897 Btrfs: async delalloc flushing under space pressure
This patch moves the delalloc flushing that occurs when we are under space
pressure off to a async thread pool.  This helps since we only free up
metadata space when we actually insert the extent item, which means it takes
quite a while for space to be free'ed up if we wait on all ordered extents.
However, if space is freed up due to inline extents being inserted, we can
wake people who are waiting up early, and they can finish their work.

Josef Bacik 32c00aff71 Btrfs: release delalloc reservations on extent item insertion
This patch fixes an issue with the delalloc metadata space reservation
code.  The problem is we used to free the reservation as soon as we
allocated the delalloc region.  The problem with this is if we are not
inserting an inline extent, we don't actually insert the extent item until
after the ordered extent is written out.  This patch does 3 things,

1) It moves the reservation clearing stuff into the ordered code, so when
we remove the ordered extent we remove the reservation.
2) It adds a EXTENT_DO_ACCOUNTING flag that gets passed when we clear
delalloc bits in the cases where we want to clear the metadata reservation
when we clear the delalloc extent, in the case that we do an inline extent
or we invalidate the page.
3) It adds another waitqueue to the space info so that when we start a fs
wide delalloc flush, anybody else who also hits that area will simply wait
for the flush to finish and then try to make their allocation.

This has been tested thoroughly to make sure we did not regress on
performance.

Chris Mason a3429ab70b Btrfs: delay clearing EXTENT_DELALLOC for compressed extents
When compression is on, the cow_file_range code is farmed off to
worker threads.  This allows us to do significant CPU work in parallel
on SMP machines.

But it is a delicate balance around when we clear flags and how.  In
the past we cleared the delalloc flag immediately, which was safe
because the pages stayed locked.

But this is causing problems with the newest ENOSPC code, and with the
recent extent state cleanups we can now clear the delalloc bit at the
same time the uncompressed code does.

Eric Sandeen 8e69ce1471 fix readahead calculations in xfs_dir2_leaf_getdents()
This is for bug #850,
http://oss.sgi.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=850
XFS file system segfaults , repeatedly and 100% reproducable in 2.6.30 , 2.6.31

The above only showed up on a CONFIG_XFS_DEBUG=y kernel, because
xfs_bmapi() ASSERTs that it has been asked for at least one map,

and it was getting 0.

The root cause is that our guesstimated "bufsize" from xfs_file_readdir
was fairly small, and the

		bufsize -= length;

in the loop was going negative - except bufsize is a size_t, so it
was wrapping to a very large number.

Then when we did
		ra_want = howmany(bufsize + mp->m_dirblksize,
				  mp->m_sb.sb_blocksize) - 1;

with that very large number, the (int) ra_want was coming out
negative, and a subsequent compare:

		if (1 + ra_want > map_blocks ...

was coming out -true- (negative int compare w/ uint) and we went
back to xfs_bmapi() for more, even though we did not need more,
and asked for 0 maps, and hit the ASSERT.

We have kind of a type mess here, but just keeping bufsize from
going negative is probably sufficient to avoid the problem.

Christoph Hellwig f9581b1443 xfs: implement ->dirty_inode to fix timestamp handling
This is picking up on Felix's repost of Dave's patch to implement a
.dirty_inode method.  We really need this notification because
the VFS keeps writing directly into the inode structure instead
of going through methods to update this state.  In addition to
the long-known atime issue we now also have a caller in VM code
that updates c/mtime that way for shared writeable mmaps.  And
I found another one that no one has noticed in practice in the FIFO
code.

So implement ->dirty_inode to set i_update_core whenever the
inode gets externally dirtied, and switch the c/mtime handling to
the same scheme we already use for atime (always picking up
the value from the Linux inode).

Note that this patch also removes the xfs_synchronize_atime call
in xfs_reclaim it was superflous as we already synchronize the time
when writing the inode via the log (xfs_inode_item_format) or the
normal buffers (xfs_iflush_int).

In addition also remove the I_CLEAR check before copying the Linux
timestamps - now that we always have the Linux inode available
we can always use the timestamps in it.

Also switch to just using file_update_time for regular reads/writes -
that will get us all optimization done to it for free and make
sure we notice early when it breaks.

Nikanth Karthikesan 316d315bff block: Seperate read and write statistics of in_flight requests v2
Commit a9327cac44 added seperate read
and write statistics of in_flight requests. And exported the number
of read and write requests in progress seperately through sysfs.

But  Corrado Zoccolo <czoccolo@gmail.com> reported getting strange
output from "iostat -kx 2". Global values for service time and
utilization were garbage. For interval values, utilization was always
100%, and service time is higher than normal.

So this was reverted by commit 0f78ab9899

The problem was in part_round_stats_single(), I missed the following:
        if (now == part->stamp)
                return;

-       if (part->in_flight) {
+       if (part_in_flight(part)) {
                __part_stat_add(cpu, part, time_in_queue,
                                part_in_flight(part) * (now - part->stamp));
                __part_stat_add(cpu, part, io_ticks, (now - part->stamp));

Josef Bacik 1cdda9b81a Btrfs: fix possible softlockup in the allocator
Like the cluster allocating stuff, we can lockup the box with the normal
allocation path.  This happens when we

1) Start to cache a block group that is severely fragmented, but has a decent
amount of free space.
2) Start to commit a transaction
3) Have the commit try and empty out some of the delalloc inodes with extents
that are relatively large.

The inodes will not be able to make the allocations because they will ask for
allocations larger than a contiguous area in the free space cache.  So we will
wait for more progress to be made on the block group, but since we're in a
commit the caching kthread won't make any more progress and it already has
enough free space that wait_block_group_cache_progress will just return.  So,
if we wait and fail to make the allocation the next time around, just loop and
go to the next block group.  This keeps us from getting stuck in a softlockup.

Chris Mason 61d92c328c Btrfs: fix deadlock on async thread startup
The btrfs async worker threads are used for a wide variety of things,
including processing bio end_io functions.  This means that when
the endio threads aren't running, the rest of the FS isn't
able to do the final processing required to clear PageWriteback.

The endio threads also try to exit as they become idle and
start more as the work piles up.  The problem is that starting more
threads means kthreadd may need to allocate ram, and that allocation
may wait until the global number of writeback pages on the system is
below a certain limit.

The result of that throttling is that end IO threads wait on
kthreadd, who is waiting on IO to end, which will never happen.

This commit fixes the deadlock by handing off thread startup to a
dedicated thread.  It also fixes a bug where the on-demand thread
creation was creating far too many threads because it didn't take into
account threads being started by other procs.

Global values for service time and utilization are garbage. For
interval values, utilization is always 100%, and service time is
higher than normal.

I bisected it down to:
[a9327cac44] Seperate read and write
statistics of in_flight requests
and verified that reverting just that commit indeed solves the issue
on 2.6.32-rc1."

So until this is debugged, revert the bad commit.

Eric Sandeen fbbf694566 [PATCH] ext4: retry failed direct IO allocations
On a 256M filesystem, doing this in a loop:

        xfs_io -F -f -d -c 'pwrite 0 64m' test
        rm -f test

eventually leads to ENOSPC.  (the xfs_io command does a
64m direct IO write to the file "test")

As with other block allocation callers, it looks like we need to
potentially retry the allocations on the initial ENOSPC.

This fixes the following warning:

fs/ext4/inode.c: In function 'ext4_dirty_inode':
fs/ext4/inode.c:5615: warning: unused variable 'current_handle'

We remove the jbd_debug() statement which does use current_handle, as
it's not terribly important in the grand scheme of things.

Thanks to Stephen Rothwell for pointing this out.
