Dave Kleikamp 69eb66d7da JFS: add uid, gid, and umask mount options
OS/2 doesn't initialize the uid, gid, or unix-style permission bits.  The
uid, gid, & umask mount options perform pretty much like those for the fat
file system, overriding what is stored on disk.  This is useful for users
sharing the file system with OS/2.

I implemented a little feature so that if you mask the execute bit, it
will be re-enabled on directories when the appropriate read bit is unmasked.
I didn't want to implement an fmask & dmask option.

Herbert Poetzl fa3241d24c JFS: ext2 inode attributes for jfs
ext2 inode attributes with relevance for jfs:

'a' 	EXT2_APPEND_FL       -> append only
'i' 	EXT2_IMMUTABLE_FL    -> immutable file
's' 	EXT2_SECRM_FL	     -> zero file
'u' 	EXT2_UNRM_FL	     -> allow for unrm
'A' 	EXT2_NOATIME_FL      -> no access time
'D' 	EXT2_DIRSYNC_FL      -> dirsync
'S' 	EXT2_SYNC_FL	     -> sync

the implementation is straight forward, except
for the fact that the attributes have to be mapped
to match with the ext2 ones to avoid a separate
tool for manipulating them (this could be avoided
when using a separate flag field in the on-disk
representation, but the overhead is minimal)

a special jfs_ioctl is added to allow for the new
JFS_IOC_GETFLAGS and JFS_IOC_SETFLAGS calls.

a helper function jfs_set_inode_flags() to transfer
the flags from the on-disk version to the inode

minor changes to allow flag inheritance on inode
creation, as well as a cleanup of the on-disk
flags (including the new ones)

beforementioned helper to map between ext2 and jfs
versions of the new flags ...

the JFS_SECRM_FL and JFS_UNRM_FL are not done yet
and I'm not 100% sure they are worth the effort,
the rest seems to work out of the box ...

akpm@osdl.org e0ad7b073e [PATCH] move xattr permission checks into the VFS
)

From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>

The xattr code has rather complex permission checks because the rules are very
different for different attribute namespaces.  This patch moves as much as we
can into the generic code.  Currently all the major disk based filesystems
duplicate these checks, while many minor filesystems or network filesystems
lack some or all of them.

To do this we need defines for the extended attribute names in common code, I
moved them up from JFS which had the nicest defintions.

OGAWA Hirofumi 28fd129827 [PATCH] Fix and add EXPORT_SYMBOL(filemap_write_and_wait)
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.

Trond, could you please review the nfs part?  Especially I'm not sure,
nfs must use the "filemap_fdatawrite(inode->i_mapping) == 0", or not.

Hugh Dickins 4c21e2f244 [PATCH] mm: split page table lock
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.

Al Viro 27496a8c67 [PATCH] gfp_t: fs/*
- ->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...

One tricky bit is left alone to be dealt with later - mapping->flags is
a mix of gfp_t and error indications.  Left alone for now.

Dave Kleikamp ac17b8b570 JFS: make special inodes play nicely with page balancing
This patch fixes up a few problems with jfs's reserved inodes.

1. There is no need for the jfs code setting the I_DIRTY bits in i_state.
   I am ashamed that the code ever did this, and surprised it hasn't been
   noticed until now.

2. Make sure special inodes are on an inode hash list.  If the inodes are
   unhashed, __mark_inode_dirty will fail to put the inode on the
   superblock's dirty list, and the data will not be flushed under memory
   pressure.

3. Force writing journal data to disk when metapage_writepage is unable to
   write a metadata page due to pending journal I/O.

Mark Bellon 8fc2751beb [PATCH] disk quotas fail when /etc/mtab is symlinked to /proc/mounts
If /etc/mtab is a regular file all of the mount options (of a file system)
are written to /etc/mtab by the mount command.  The quota tools look there
for the quota strings for their operation.  If, however, /etc/mtab is a
symlink to /proc/mounts (a "good thing" in some environments) the tools
don't write anything - they assume the kernel will take care of things.

While the quota options are sent down to the kernel via the mount system
call and the file system codes handle them properly unfortunately there is
no code to echo the quota strings into /proc/mounts and the quota tools
fail in the symlink case.

The attached patchs modify the EXT[2|3] and JFS codes to add the necessary
hooks.  The show_options function of each file system in these patches
currently deal with only those things that seemed related to quotas;
especially in the EXT3 case more can be done (later?).

Jan Kara also noted the difficulty in moving these changes above the FS
codes responding similarly to myself to Andrew's comment about possible
VFS migration. Issue summary:

 - FS codes have to process the entire string of options anyway.

 - Only FS codes that use quotas must have a show_options function (for
   quotas to work properly) however quotas are only used in a small number
   of FS.

 - Since most of the quota using FS support other options these FS codes
   should have the a show_options function to show those options - and the
   quota echoing becomes virtually negligible.

Based on feedback I have modified my patches from the original:

   JFS a missing patch has been restored to the posting
   EXT[2|3] and JFS always use the show_options function
       - Each FS has at least one FS specific option displayed
       - QUOTA output is under a CONFIG_QUOTA ifdef
       - a follow-on patch will add a multitude of options for each FS
   EXT[2|3] and JFS "quota" is treated as "usrquota"
   EXT3 journalled data check for journalled quota removed
   EXT[2|3] mount when quota specified but not compiled in

 - no changes from my original patch.  I tested the patch and the codes
   warn but

 - still mount.  With all due respection I believe the comments
   otherwise were a

 - misread of the patch.  Please reread/test and comment.  XFS patch
   removed - the XFS team already made the necessary changes EXT3 mixing
   old and new quotas are handled differently (not purely exclusive)

 - if old and new quotas for the same type are used together the old
   type is silently depricated for compatability (e.g.  usrquota and
   usrjquota)

 - mixing of old and new quotas is an error (e.g.  usrjquota and
   grpquota)

Dave Kleikamp cbc3d65ebc JFS: Improve sync barrier processing
Under heavy load, hot metadata pages are often locked by non-committed
transactions, making them difficult to flush to disk.  This prevents
the sync point from advancing past a transaction that had modified the
page.

There is a point during the sync barrier processing where all
outstanding transactions have been committed to disk, but no new
transaction have been allowed to proceed.  This is the best time

Qu Fuping 3d9b1cdd24 JFS: fsync wrong behavior when I/O failure occurs
This is half of a patch that Qu Fuping submitted in April.  The first part
was applied to fs/mpage.c in 2.6.12-rc4.

jfs_fsync should return error, but it doesn't wait for the metadata page to
be uptodate, e.g.:
jfs_fsync->jfs_commit_inode->txCommit->diWrite->read_metapage->
__get_metapage->read_cache_page reads a page from disk. Because read is
async, when read_cache_page: err = filler(data, page), filler will not
return error, it just submits I/O request and returns. So, page is not
uptodate.  Checking only if(IS_ERROR(mp->page)) is not enough, we should
add "|| !PageUptodate(mp->page)"

Dave Kleikamp b38a3ab3d1 JFS: Code cleanup - getting rid of never-used debug code
I'm finally getting around to cleaning out debug code that I've never used.
There has always been code ifdef'ed out by _JFS_DEBUG_DMAP, _JFS_DEBUG_IMAP,
_JFS_DEBUG_DTREE, and _JFS_DEBUG_XTREE, which I have personally never used,
and I doubt that anyone has since the design stage back in OS/2.  There is
also a function, xtGather, that has never been used, and I don't know why it
was ever there.

Christoph Lameter 3e1d1d28d9 [PATCH] Cleanup patch for process freezing
1. Establish a simple API for process freezing defined in linux/include/sched.h:

   frozen(process)		Check for frozen process
   freezing(process)		Check if a process is being frozen
   freeze(process)		Tell a process to freeze (go to refrigerator)
   thaw_process(process)	Restart process
   frozen_process(process)	Process is frozen now

2. Remove all references to PF_FREEZE and PF_FROZEN from all
   kernel sources except sched.h

3. Fix numerous locations where try_to_freeze is manually done by a driver

4. Remove the argument that is no longer necessary from two function calls.

5. Some whitespace cleanup

6. Clear potential race in refrigerator (provides an open window of PF_FREEZE
   cleared before setting PF_FROZEN, recalc_sigpending does not check
   PF_FROZEN).

This patch does not address the problem of freeze_processes() violating the rule
that a task may only modify its own flags by setting PF_FREEZE. This is not clean
in an SMP environment. freeze(process) is therefore not SMP safe!

Sonny Rao f5f287738b JFS: performance patch
Basically, we saw a large amount of time spent in the
jfs_strfromUCS_le() function, mispredicting the branch inside the
loop, so I just added some unlikely modifiers to the if statements to
re-ordered the code.  Again, these simple changes provided > 2 % on
spec-sfs, so please consider it for inclusion.
