We support OFFSET_MAX just fine, so don't round down below it.  Also
switch to using min_t to make the helper more readable.

Benjamin Coddington 210c7c1750 NFS: Use wait_on_atomic_t() for unlock after readahead
The use of wait_on_atomic_t() for waiting on I/O to complete before
unlocking allows us to git rid of the NFS_IO_INPROGRESS flag, and thus the
nfs_iocounter's flags member, and finally the nfs_iocounter altogether.
The count of I/O is moved to the lock context, and the counter
increment/decrement functions become simple enough to open-code.

Trond Myklebust 874f946376 NFS: Fix a regression in the read() syscall
When invalidating the page cache for a regular file, we want to first
sync all dirty data to disk and then call invalidate_inode_pages2().
The latter relies on nfs_launder_page() and nfs_release_page() to deal
respectively with dirty pages, and unstable written pages.

When commit 9590544694 ("NFS: avoid deadlocks with loop-back mounted
NFS filesystems.") changed the behaviour of nfs_release_page(), then it
made it possible for invalidate_inode_pages2() to fail with an EBUSY.
Unfortunately, that error is then propagated back to read().

Let's therefore work around the problem for now by protecting the call
to sync the data and invalidate_inode_pages2() so that they are atomic
w.r.t. the addition of new writes.
Later on, we can revisit whether or not we still need nfs_launder_page()
and nfs_release_page().

Weston Andros Adamson cb1410c71e NFS: fix subtle change in COMMIT behavior
Recent work in the pgio layer made it possible for there to be more than one
request per page. This caused a subtle change in commit behavior, because
write.c:nfs_commit_unstable_pages compares the number of *pages* waiting for
writeback against the number of requests on a commit list to choose when to
send a COMMIT in a non-blocking flush.

This is probably hard to hit in normal operation - you have to be using
rsize/wsize < PAGE_SIZE, or pnfs with lots of boundaries that are not page
aligned to have a noticeable change in behavior.

     code should scale better for flush intensive workloads on blk-mq.

   - Improve the error printing, from Rob Elliott.

   - Backing device improvements and cleanups from Tejun.

   - Make blk_get_request() return error pointers, fixing up issues
     where we NULL deref when a device goes bad or missing.  From Joe
     Lawrence.

   - Prep work for drastically reducing the memory consumption of dm
     devices from Junichi Nomura.  This allows creating clone bio sets
     without preallocating a lot of memory.

   - Fix a blk-mq hang on certain combinations of queue depths and
     hardware queues from me.

   - Limit memory consumption for blk-mq devices for crash dump
     scenarios and drivers that use crazy high depths (certain SCSI
     shared tag setups).  We now just use a single queue and limited

NeilBrown f682a398b2 NFS: allow lockless access to access_cache
The access cache is used during RCU-walk path lookups, so it is best
to avoid locking if possible as taking a lock kills concurrency.

The rbtree is not rcu-safe and cannot easily be made so.
Instead we simply check the last (i.e. most recent) entry on the LRU
list.  If this doesn't match, then we return -ECHILD and retry in
lock/refcount mode.

This requires freeing the nfs_access_entry struct with rcu, and
requires using rcu access primatives when adding entries to the lru, and
when examining the last entry.

Calling put_rpccred before kfree_rcu looks a bit odd, but as
put_rpccred already provides rcu protection, we know that the cred will
not actually be freed until the next grace period, so any concurrent
access will be safe.

This patch provides about 5% performance improvement on a stat-heavy
synthetic work load with 4 threads on a 2-core CPU.

NeilBrown 912a108da7 NFS: teach nfs_neg_need_reval to understand LOOKUP_RCU
This requires nfs_check_verifier to take an rcu_walk flag, and requires
an rcu version of nfs_revalidate_inode which returns -ECHILD rather
than making an RPC call.

With this, nfs_lookup_revalidate can call nfs_neg_need_reval in
RCU-walk mode.

We can also move the LOOKUP_RCU check past the nfs_check_verifier()
call in nfs_lookup_revalidate.

If RCU_WALK prevents nfs_check_verifier or nfs_neg_need_reval from
doing a full check, they return a status indicating that a revalidation
is required.  As this revalidation will not be possible in RCU_WALK

Jeff Layton d529ef83c3 NFS: fix the handling of NFS_INO_INVALID_DATA flag in nfs_revalidate_mapping
There is a possible race in how the nfs_invalidate_mapping function is
handled.  Currently, we go and invalidate the pages in the file and then
clear NFS_INO_INVALID_DATA.

The problem is that it's possible for a stale page to creep into the
mapping after the page was invalidated (i.e., via readahead). If another
writer comes along and sets the flag after that happens but before
invalidate_inode_pages2 returns then we could clear the flag
without the cache having been properly invalidated.

So, we must clear the flag first and then invalidate the pages. Doing
this however, opens another race:

It's possible to have two concurrent read() calls that end up in
nfs_revalidate_mapping at the same time. The first one clears the
NFS_INO_INVALID_DATA flag and then goes to call nfs_invalidate_mapping.

Just before calling that though, the other task races in, checks the
flag and finds it cleared. At that point, it trusts that the mapping is
good and gets the lock on the page, allowing the read() to be satisfied
from the cache even though the data is no longer valid.

These effects are easily manifested by running diotest3 from the LTP
test suite on NFS. That program does a series of DIO writes and buffered
reads. The operations are serialized and page-aligned but the existing
code fails the test since it occasionally allows a read to come out of
the cache incorrectly. While mixing direct and buffered I/O isn't
recommended, I believe it's possible to hit this in other ways that just
use buffered I/O, though that situation is much harder to reproduce.

The problem is that the checking/clearing of that flag and the
invalidation of the mapping really need to be atomic. Fix this by
serializing concurrent invalidations with a bitlock.

At the same time, we also need to allow other places that check
NFS_INO_INVALID_DATA to check whether we might be in the middle of
invalidating the file, so fix up a couple of places that do that
to look for the new NFS_INO_INVALIDATING flag.

Doing this requires us to be careful not to set the bitlock
unnecessarily, so this code only does that if it believes it will
be doing an invalidation.

The code at the instruction pointer was disassembled:

> 0xffffffff812a1907 <+39>: je 0xffffffff812a19cd <__fscache_uncache_page+237>

These instructions make up:

	ASSERTCMP(cookie->def->type, !=, FSCACHE_COOKIE_TYPE_INDEX);

That cmpb is the faulting instruction (%rax is 0).  So cookie->def is NULL -
which presumably means that the cookie has already been at least partway
through __fscache_relinquish_cookie().

What I think may be happening is something like a three-way race on the same
file:

	PROCESS 1	PROCESS 2	PROCESS 3
	===============	===============	===============
	open(O_TRUNC|O_WRONLY)
			open(O_RDONLY)
					open(O_WRONLY)
	-->nfs_open()
	-->nfs_fscache_set_inode_cookie()
	nfs_fscache_inode_lock()
	nfs_fscache_disable_inode_cookie()
	__fscache_relinquish_cookie()
	nfs_inode->fscache = NULL

			-->nfs_open()
			-->nfs_fscache_set_inode_cookie()
			nfs_fscache_inode_lock()
			nfs_fscache_enable_inode_cookie()
			__fscache_acquire_cookie()
			nfs_inode->fscache = cookie
			<--nfs_fscache_set_inode_cookie()
	<--nfs_open()
	-->nfs_setattr()
	...
	...
	-->nfs_invalidate_page()
	-->__nfs_fscache_invalidate_page()
	cookie = nfsi->fscache
					-->nfs_open()
					-->nfs_fscache_set_inode_cookie()
					nfs_fscache_inode_lock()
					nfs_fscache_disable_inode_cookie()
					-->__fscache_relinquish_cookie()
	-->__fscache_uncache_page(cookie)
	<crash>
					<--__fscache_relinquish_cookie()
					nfs_inode->fscache = NULL
					<--nfs_fscache_set_inode_cookie()

What is needed is something to prevent process #2 from reacquiring the cookie
- and I think checking i_writecount should do the trick.

It's also possible to have a two-way race on this if the file is opened
O_TRUNC|O_RDONLY instead.

The OPEN operation has no way to differentiate an open for read and an
open for execution - both look like read to the server. This allowed
users to read files that didn't have READ access but did have EXEC access,
which is obviously wrong.

This patch adds an ACCESS call to the OPEN compound to handle the
difference between OPENs for reading and execution.  Since we're going
through the trouble of calling ACCESS, we check all possible access bits
and cache the results hopefully avoiding an ACCESS call in the future.
