If the caller does not specify the O_SYNC flag, then it is legitimate
to return from O_DIRECT without doing a pNFS layoutcommit operation.
However if the file is opened O_DIRECT|O_SYNC then we'd better get it
right.

nfs_vm_page_mkwrite() should wait until the page cache invalidation
is finished. This is the second patch in a 2 patch series to deprecate
the NFS client's reliance on nfs_release_page() in the context of
nfs_invalidate_mapping().
Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@primarydata.com>
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().

Now that nfs_release_page() doesn't block indefinitely, other deadlock

- it doesn't hurt for kswapd to block occasionally. If it doesn't
want to block it would clear __GFP_WAIT. The current_is_kswapd()
was only added to avoid deadlocks and we have a new approach for
that.
- memory allocation in the SUNRPC layer can very rarely try to
->releasepage() a page it is trying to handle. The deadlock
is removed as nfs_release_page() doesn't block indefinitely.
So we don't need to set PF_FSTRANS for sunrpc network operations any
more.

If nfs_release_page() is called on a sequence of pages which are all
in the same file which is blocked on COMMIT, each page could
contribute a 1 second delay which could be come excessive. I have
seen delays of as much as 208 seconds.
To keep the delay to one second, mark the bdi as write-congested
if the commit didn't finished. Once it does finish, the
write-congested flag will be cleared by nfs_commit_release_pages().
With this, the longest total delay in try_to_free_pages that I have
seen is under 3 seconds. With no waiting in nfs_release_page at all
I have seen delays of nearly 1.5 seconds.

Support for loop-back mounted NFS filesystems is useful when NFS is
used to access shared storage in a high-availability cluster.
If the node running the NFS server fails, some other node can mount the
filesystem and start providing NFS service. If that node already had
the filesystem NFS mounted, it will now have it loop-back mounted.
nfsd can suffer a deadlock when allocating memory and entering direct
reclaim.
While direct reclaim does not write to the NFS filesystem it can send
and wait for a COMMIT through nfs_release_page().
This patch modifies nfs_release_page() to wait a limited time for the
commit to complete - one second. If the commit doesn't complete
in this time, nfs_release_page() will fail. This means it might now
fail in some cases where it wouldn't before. These cases are only
when 'gfp' includes '__GFP_WAIT'.
nfs_release_page() is only called by try_to_release_page(), and that
can only be called on an NFS page with required 'gfp' flags from
- page_cache_pipe_buf_steal() in splice.c
- shrink_page_list() in vmscan.c
- invalidate_inode_pages2_range() in truncate.c
The first two handle failure quite safely. The last is only called
after ->launder_page() has been called, and that will have waited
for the commit to finish already.
So aborting if the commit takes longer than 1 second is perfectly safe.

Like all block based filesystems, the pNFS block layout driver can't read
or write at a byte granularity and thus has to perform read-modify-write
cycles on writes smaller than this granularity.
Add a flag so that the core NFS code always reads a whole page when
starting a smaller write, so that we can do it in the place where the VFS
expects it instead of doing in very deadlock prone way in the writeback
handler.
Note that in theory we could do less than page size reads here for disks
that have a smaller sector size which are served by a server with a smaller
pnfs block size. But so far that doesn't seem like a worthwhile
optimization.

The current "wait_on_bit" interface requires an 'action'
function to be provided which does the actual waiting.
There are over 20 such functions, many of them identical.
Most cases can be satisfied by one of just two functions, one
which uses io_schedule() and one which just uses schedule().
So:
Rename wait_on_bit and wait_on_bit_lock to
wait_on_bit_action and wait_on_bit_lock_action
to make it explicit that they need an action function.
Introduce new wait_on_bit{,_lock} and wait_on_bit{,_lock}_io
which are *not* given an action function but implicitly use
a standard one.
The decision to error-out if a signal is pending is now made
based on the 'mode' argument rather than being encoded in the action
function.
All instances of the old wait_on_bit and wait_on_bit_lock which
can use the new version have been changed accordingly and their
action functions have been discarded.
wait_on_bit{_lock} does not return any specific error code in the
event of a signal so the caller must check for non-zero and
interpolate their own error code as appropriate.
The wait_on_bit() call in __fscache_wait_on_invalidate() was
ambiguous as it specified TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE but used
fscache_wait_bit_interruptible as an action function.
David Howells confirms this should be uniformly
"uninterruptible"
The main remaining user of wait_on_bit{,_lock}_action is NFS
which needs to use a freezer-aware schedule() call.
A comment in fs/gfs2/glock.c notes that having multiple 'action'
functions is useful as they display differently in the 'wchan'
field of 'ps'. (and /proc/$PID/wchan).
As the new bit_wait{,_io} functions are tagged "__sched", they
will not show up at all, but something higher in the stack. So
the distinction will still be visible, only with different
function names (gds2_glock_wait versus gfs2_glock_dq_wait in the
gfs2/glock.c case).
Since first version of this patch (against 3.15) two new action
functions appeared, on in NFS and one in CIFS. CIFS also now
uses an action function that makes the same freezer aware
schedule call as NFS.

Currently, the fl_owner isn't set for flock locks. Some filesystems use
byte-range locks to simulate flock locks and there is a common idiom in
those that does:
fl->fl_owner = (fl_owner_t)filp;
fl->fl_start = 0;
fl->fl_end = OFFSET_MAX;
Since flock locks are generally "owned" by the open file description,
move this into the common flock lock setup code. The fl_start and fl_end
fields are already set appropriately, so remove the unneeded setting of
that in flock ops in those filesystems as well.
Finally, the lease code also sets the fl_owner as if they were owned by
the process and not the open file description. This is incorrect as
leases have the same ownership semantics as flock locks. Set them the
same way. The lease code doesn't actually use the fl_owner value for
anything, so this is more for consistency's sake than a bugfix.

We must avoid buffering a WRITE that is using a credential key (e.g. a GSS

for such a buffered WRITE, only to discover that we do not have permission when
we attempt to flush the WRITE (and potentially associated COMMIT) to disk.
Use the RPC layer credential key timeout and expire routines which use a
a watermark, gss_key_expire_timeo. We test the key in nfs_file_write.
If a WRITE is using a credential with a key that will expire within
watermark seconds, flush the inode in nfs_write_end and send only
NFS_FILE_SYNC WRITEs by adding nfs_ctx_key_to_expire to nfs_need_sync_write.

VM page reclaim uses dirty and writeback page states to determine if
flushers are cleaning pages too slowly and that page reclaim should
stall waiting on flushers to catch up. Page state in NFS is a bit more
complex and a clean page can be unreclaimable due to being unstable
which is effectively "dirty" from the perspective of the VM from reclaim
context. Similarly, if the inode is currently being committed then it's
similar to being under writeback.
This patch adds a is_dirty_writeback() handled for NFS that checks if a
pages backing inode is being committed and should be accounted as
writeback and if a page has private state indicating that it is
effectively dirty.

Currently there is no way to truncate partial page where the end
truncate point is not at the end of the page. This is because it was not
needed and the functionality was enough for file system truncate
operation to work properly. However more file systems now support punch
hole feature and it can benefit from mm supporting truncating page just
up to the certain point.
Specifically, with this functionality truncate_inode_pages_range() can
be changed so it supports truncating partial page at the end of the
range (currently it will BUG_ON() if 'end' is not at the end of the
page).
This commit changes the invalidatepage() address space operation
prototype to accept range to be invalidated and update all the instances
for it.
We also change the block_invalidatepage() in the same way and actually
make a use of the new length argument implementing range invalidation.
Actual file system implementations will follow except the file systems
where the changes are really simple and should not change the behaviour
in any way .Implementation for truncate_page_range() which will be able
to accept page unaligned ranges will follow as well.

Move actual pte filling for non-linear file mappings into the new special

Filesystems must implement this method to get non-linear mapping support,
if it uses filemap_fault() then generic_file_remap_pages() can be used.
Now device drivers can implement this method and obtain nonlinear vma support.

If the server reboots before it can commit the unstable writes to disk,
then nfs_commit_release_pages() will detect this when it compares the
verifier returned by COMMIT to the one returned by WRITE. When this
happens, the client needs to resend those writes in order to guarantee
that they make it to stable storage.
This patch adds a signalling mechanism to notify fsync() that it
needs to retry all writes before it can exit.

rpciod is trying to allocate memory for a new socket to talk to the
server. The VM ends up calling ->releasepage to get more memory, and it
tries to do a blocking commit. That commit can't succeed however without
a connected socket, so we deadlock.
Fix this by setting PF_FSTRANS on the workqueue task prior to doing the
socket allocation, and having nfs_release_page check for that flag when
deciding whether to do a commit call. Also, set PF_FSTRANS
unconditionally in rpc_async_schedule since that function can also do
allocations sometimes.

NFSv4 can't do reliable opens in d_revalidate, since it cannot know whether a
mount needs to be followed or not. It does check d_mountpoint() on the dentry,
which can result in a weird error if the VFS found that the mount does not in
fact need to be followed, e.g.:
# mount --bind /mnt/nfs /mnt/nfs-clone
# echo something > /mnt/nfs/tmp/bar
# echo x > /tmp/file
# mount --bind /tmp/file /mnt/nfs-clone/tmp/bar
# cat /mnt/nfs/tmp/bar
cat: /mnt/nfs/tmp/bar: Not a directory
Which should, by any sane filesystem, result in "something" being printed.
So instead do the open in f_op->open() and in the unlikely case that the cached
dentry turned out to be invalid, drop the dentry and return EOPENSTALE to let
the VFS retry.

If we hold a delegation then we know that it should be safe to continue
to cache the data beyond the close(). However since the process that wrote
the data may die after close(), we may still want to send the data to
server before those RPCSEC_GSS credentials expire. We therefore compromise
by starting writeback to the server, but don't wait for completion.

Merge tag 'split-asm_system_h-for-linus-20120328' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-asm_system
Pull "Disintegrate and delete asm/system.h" from David Howells:
"Here are a bunch of patches to disintegrate asm/system.h into a set of
separate bits to relieve the problem of circular inclusion
dependencies.
I've built all the working defconfigs from all the arches that I can
and made sure that they don't break.
The reason for these patches is that I recently encountered a circular
dependency problem that came about when I produced some patches to
optimise get_order() by rewriting it to use ilog2().
This uses bitops - and on the SH arch asm/bitops.h drags in
asm-generic/get_order.h by a circuituous route involving asm/system.h.
The main difficulty seems to be asm/system.h. It holds a number of
low level bits with no/few dependencies that are commonly used (eg.
memory barriers) and a number of bits with more dependencies that
aren't used in many places (eg. switch_to()).
These patches break asm/system.h up into the following core pieces:
(1) asm/barrier.h
Move memory barriers here. This already done for MIPS and Alpha.
(2) asm/switch_to.h
Move switch_to() and related stuff here.
(3) asm/exec.h
Move arch_align_stack() here. Other process execution related bits
could perhaps go here from asm/processor.h.
(4) asm/cmpxchg.h
Move xchg() and cmpxchg() here as they're full word atomic ops and
frequently used by atomic_xchg() and atomic_cmpxchg().
(5) asm/bug.h
Move die() and related bits.
(6) asm/auxvec.h
Move AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH here.
Other arch headers are created as needed on a per-arch basis."
Fixed up some conflicts from other header file cleanups and moving code
around that has happened in the meantime, so David's testing is somewhat
weakened by that. We'll find out anything that got broken and fix it..

Subject: [PATCH] NFS - fix recent breakage to NFS error handling.
commit 02c24a8218 made a small and
presumably unintended change to write error handling in NFS.
Previously an error from filemap_write_and_wait_range would only be of
interest if nfs_file_fsync did not return an error. After this commit,
an error from filemap_write_and_wait_range would mean that (the rest of)
nfs_file_fsync would not even be called.
This means that:
1/ you are more likely to see EIO than e.g. EDQUOT or ENOSPC.
2/ NFS_CONTEXT_ERROR_WRITE remains set for longer so more writes are
synchronous.
This patch restores previous behaviour.

After commit 06222e491e (fs: handle
SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA properly in all fs's that define their own llseek)
the behaviour of llseek() was changed so that it always revalidates
the file size. The bug appears to be due to a logic error in the
afore-mentioned commit, which always evaluates to 'true'.

commit d953126 changed how nfs_atomic_lookup handles an -EISDIR return
from an OPEN call. Prior to that patch, that caused the client to fall
back to doing a normal lookup. When that patch went in, the code began
returning that error to userspace. The d_revalidate codepath however
never had the corresponding change, so it was still possible to end up
with a NULL ctx->state pointer after that.
That patch caused a regression. When we attempt to open a directory that
does not have a cached dentry, that open now errors out with EISDIR. If
you attempt the same open with a cached dentry, it will succeed.
Fix this by reverting the change in nfs_atomic_lookup and allowing
attempts to open directories to fall back to a normal lookup
Also, add a NFSv4-specific f_ops->open routine that just returns
-ENOTDIR. This should never be called if things are working properly,
but if it ever is, then the dprintk may help in debugging.
To facilitate this, a new file_operations field is also added to the
nfs_rpc_ops struct.

The i_mutex lock use of generic _file_llseek hurts. Independent processes
accessing the same file synchronize over a single lock, even though
they have no need for synchronization at all.
Under high utilization this can cause llseek to scale very poorly on larger
systems.
This patch does some rethinking of the llseek locking model:
First the 64bit f_pos is not necessarily atomic without locks
on 32bit systems. This can already cause races with read() today.
This was discussed on linux-kernel in the past and deemed acceptable.
The patch does not change that.
Let's look at the different seek variants:
SEEK_SET: Doesn't really need any locking.
If there's a race one writer wins, the other loses.
For 32bit the non atomic update races against read()
stay the same. Without a lock they can also happen
against write() now. The read() race was deemed
acceptable in past discussions, and I think if it's
ok for read it's ok for write too.
=> Don't need a lock.
SEEK_END: This behaves like SEEK_SET plus it reads
the maximum size too. Reading the maximum size would have the
32bit atomic problem. But luckily we already have a way to read
the maximum size without locking (i_size_read), so we
can just use that instead.
Without i_mutex there is no synchronization with write() anymore,
however since the write() update is atomic on 64bit it just behaves
like another racy SEEK_SET. On non atomic 32bit it's the same
as SEEK_SET.
=> Don't need a lock, but need to use i_size_read()
SEEK_CUR: This has a read-modify-write race window
on the same file. One could argue that any application
doing unsynchronized seeks on the same file is already broken.
But for the sake of not adding a regression here I'm
using the file->f_lock to synchronize this. Using this
lock is much better than the inode mutex because it doesn't
synchronize between processes.
=> So still need a lock, but can use a f_lock.
This patch implements this new scheme in generic_file_llseek.
I dropped generic_file_llseek_unlocked and changed all callers.

Btrfs needs to be able to control how filemap_write_and_wait_range() is called
in fsync to make it less of a painful operation, so push down taking i_mutex and
the calling of filemap_write_and_wait() down into the ->fsync() handlers. Some
file systems can drop taking the i_mutex altogether it seems, like ext3 and
ocfs2. For correctness sake I just pushed everything down in all cases to make
sure that we keep the current behavior the same for everybody, and then each
individual fs maintainer can make up their mind about what to do from there.

This converts everybody to handle SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA properly. In some cases
we just return -EINVAL, in others we do the normal generic thing, and in others
we're simply making sure that the properly due-dilligence is done. For example
in NFS/CIFS we need to make sure the file size is update properly for the
SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA case, but since it calls the generic llseek stuff itself
that is all we have to do. Thanks,

Instead of blindly zapping the caches, attempt to revalidate them if
the server has indicated that it uses high resolution timestamps.
NFSv4 should be able to always revalidate the cache since the
protocol requires the update of the change attribute on modification of
the data. In reality, there are servers (the Linux NFS server
for example) that do not obey this requirement and use ctime as the
basis for change attribute. Long term, the server needs to be fixed.
At this time, and to be on the safe side, continue zapping caches if
the server indicates that it does not have a high resolution timestamp.

NFS clients since 2.6.12 support flock locks by emulating fcntl byte-range
locks. Due to this, some windows applications which seem to use both flock
(share mode lock mapped as flock by Samba) and fcntl locks sequentially on
the same file, can't lock as they falsely assume the file is already locked.
The problem was reported on a setup with windows clients accessing excel files
on a Samba exported share which is originally a NFS mount from a NetApp filer.
Older NFS clients (< 2.6.12) did not see this problem as flock locks were
considered local. To support legacy flock behavior, this patch adds a mount
option "-olocal_lock=" which can take the following values:
'none' - Neither flock locks nor POSIX locks are local
'flock' - flock locks are local
'posix' - fcntl/POSIX locks are local
'all' - Both flock locks and POSIX locks are local
Testing:
- This patch was tested by using -olocal_lock option with different values
and the NLM calls were noted from the network packet captured.
'none' - NLM calls were seen during both flock() and fcntl(), flock lock
was granted, fcntl was denied
'flock' - no NLM calls for flock(), NLM call was seen for fcntl(),
granted
'posix' - NLM call was seen for flock() - granted, no NLM call for fcntl()
'all' - no NLM calls were seen during both flock() and fcntl()
- No bugs were seen during NFSv4 locking/unlocking in general and NFSv4
reboot recovery.

The do_vfs_lock function on fs/nfs/file.c is only called if NLM is
not being used, via the -onolock mount option. Therefore it cannot
really be "out of sync with lock manager" when the local locking
function called returns an error, as there will be no corresponding
call to the NLM. For details, simply check the if/else on do_setlk
and do_unlk on fs/nfs/file.c.

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.

While Linux provided an O_SYNC flag basically since day 1, it took until
Linux 2.4.0-test12pre2 to actually get it implemented for filesystems,
since that day we had generic_osync_around with only minor changes and the
great "For now, when the user asks for O_SYNC, we'll actually give
O_DSYNC" comment. This patch intends to actually give us real O_SYNC
semantics in addition to the O_DSYNC semantics. After Jan's O_SYNC
patches which are required before this patch it's actually surprisingly
simple, we just need to figure out when to set the datasync flag to
vfs_fsync_range and when not.
This patch renames the existing O_SYNC flag to O_DSYNC while keeping it's
numerical value to keep binary compatibility, and adds a new real O_SYNC
flag. To guarantee backwards compatiblity it is defined as expanding to
both the O_DSYNC and the new additional binary flag (__O_SYNC) to make
sure we are backwards-compatible when compiled against the new headers.
This also means that all places that don't care about the differences can
just check O_DSYNC and get the right behaviour for O_SYNC, too - only
places that actuall care need to check __O_SYNC in addition. Drivers and
network filesystems have been updated in a fail safe way to always do the
full sync magic if O_DSYNC is set. The few places setting O_SYNC for
lower layers are kept that way for now to stay failsafe.
We enforce that O_DSYNC is set when __O_SYNC is set early in the open path
to make sure we always get these sane options.
Note that parisc really screwed up their headers as they already define a
O_DSYNC that has always been a no-op. We try to repair it by using it for
the new O_DSYNC and redefinining O_SYNC to send both the traditional
O_SYNC numerical value _and_ the O_DSYNC one.

Enable hardware memory error handling for NFS
Truncation of data pages at runtime should be safe in NFS,

Hi.
I have a proposal for possibly resolving this issue.
I believe that this situation occurs due to the way that the
Linux NFS client handles writes which modify partial pages.
The Linux NFS client handles partial page modifications by
allocating a page from the page cache, copying the data from
the user level into the page, and then keeping track of the
offset and length of the modified portions of the page. The
page is not marked as up to date because there are portions
of the page which do not contain valid file contents.
When a read call comes in for a portion of the page, the
contents of the page must be read in the from the server.
However, since the page may already contain some modified
data, that modified data must be written to the server
before the file contents can be read back in the from server.
And, since the writing and reading can not be done atomically,
the data must be written and committed to stable storage on
the server for safety purposes. This means either a
FILE_SYNC WRITE or a UNSTABLE WRITE followed by a COMMIT.
This has been discussed at length previously.
This algorithm could be described as modify-write-read. It
is most efficient when the application only updates pages
and does not read them.
My proposed solution is to add a heuristic to decide whether
to do this modify-write-read algorithm or switch to a read-
modify-write algorithm when initially allocating the page
in the write system call path. The heuristic uses the modes
that the file was opened with, the offset in the page to
read from, and the size of the region to read.
If the file was opened for reading in addition to writing
and the page would not be filled completely with data from
the user level, then read in the old contents of the page
and mark it as Uptodate before copying in the new data. If
the page would be completely filled with data from the user
level, then there would be no reason to read in the old
contents because they would just be copied over.
This would optimize for applications which randomly access
and update portions of files. The linkage editor for the
C compiler is an example of such a thing.
I tested the attached patch by using rpmbuild to build the
current Fedora rawhide kernel. The kernel without the
patch generated about 269,500 WRITE requests. The modified
kernel containing the patch generated about 261,000 WRITE
requests. Thus, about 8,500 fewer WRITE requests were
generated. I suspect that many of these additional
WRITE requests were probably FILE_SYNC requests to WRITE
a single page, but I didn't test this theory.
The difference between this patch and the previous one was
to remove the unneeded PageDirty() test. I then retested to
ensure that the resulting system continued to behave as
desired.
Thanx...
