Mel Gorman a6bc32b899 mm: compaction: introduce sync-light migration for use by compaction
This patch adds a lightweight sync migrate operation MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT
mode that avoids writing back pages to backing storage.  Async compaction
maps to MIGRATE_ASYNC while sync compaction maps to MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT.
For other migrate_pages users such as memory hotplug, MIGRATE_SYNC is
used.

This avoids sync compaction stalling for an excessive length of time,
particularly when copying files to a USB stick where there might be a
large number of dirty pages backed by a filesystem that does not support
->writepages.

[aarcange@redhat.com: This patch is heavily based on Andrea's work]

Mel Gorman b969c4ab9f mm: compaction: determine if dirty pages can be migrated without blocking within ->migratepage
Asynchronous compaction is used when allocating transparent hugepages to
avoid blocking for long periods of time.  Due to reports of stalling,
there was a debate on disabling synchronous compaction but this severely
impacted allocation success rates.  Part of the reason was that many dirty
pages are skipped in asynchronous compaction by the following check;

	if (PageDirty(page) && !sync &&
		mapping->a_ops->migratepage != migrate_page)
			rc = -EBUSY;

This skips over all mapping aops using buffer_migrate_page() even though
it is possible to migrate some of these pages without blocking.  This
patch updates the ->migratepage callback with a "sync" parameter.  It is
the responsibility of the callback to fail gracefully if migration would
block.

Trond Myklebust e2fecb215b NFS: Remove pNFS bloat from the generic write path
We have no business doing any this in the standard write release path.
Get rid of it, and put it in the pNFS layer.

Also, while we're at it, get rid of the completely bogus unlock/relock
semantics that were present in nfs_writeback_release_full(). It is
not only unnecessary, but actually dangerous to release the write lock
just in order to take it again in nfs_page_async_flush(). Better just
to open code the pgio operations in a pnfs helper.

Jeff Layton 2da9565235 nfs: don't try to migrate pages with active requests
nfs_find_and_lock_request will take a reference to the nfs_page and
will then put it if the req is already locked. It's possible though
that the reference will be the last one. That put then can kick off
a whole series of reference puts:

nfs_page
   nfs_open_context
      dentry
          inode

If the inode ends up being deleted, then the VFS will call
truncate_inode_pages. That function will try to take the page lock, but
it was already locked when migrate_page was called. The code
deadlocks.

Fix this by simply refusing the migration request if PagePrivate is
already set, indicating that the page is already associated with an
active read or write request.

We've had a customer test a backported version of this patch and
the preliminary results seem good.

Jeff Layton 3236c3e1ad nfs: don't redirty inode when ncommit == 0 in nfs_commit_unstable_pages
commit 420e3646 allowed the kernel to reduce the number of unnecessary
commit calls by skipping the commit when there are a large number of
outstanding pages.

However, the current test in nfs_commit_unstable_pages does not handle
the edge condition properly. When ncommit == 0, then that means that the
kernel doesn't need to do anything more for the inode. The current test
though in the WB_SYNC_NONE case will return true, and the inode will end
up being marked dirty. Once that happens the inode will never be clean
until there's a WB_SYNC_ALL flush.

Fix this by immediately returning from nfs_commit_unstable_pages when
ncommit == 0.

Mike noticed this problem initially in RHEL5 (2.6.18-based kernel) which
has a backported version of 420e3646. The inode cache there was growing
very large. The inode cache was unable to be shrunk since the inodes
were all marked dirty. Calling sync() would essentially "fix" the
problem -- the WB_SYNC_ALL flush would result in the inodes all being
marked clean.

What I'm not clear on is how big a problem this is in mainline kernels
as the writeback code there is very different. Either way, it seems
incorrect to re-mark the inode dirty in this case.

Trond Myklebust 59b7c05fff Revert "NFS: Ensure that writeback_single_inode() calls write_inode() when syncing"
This reverts commit b80c3cb628.

The reverted commit was rendered obsolete by a VFS fix: commit
5547e8aac6 (writeback: Update dirty flags in
two steps). We now no longer need to worry about writeback_single_inode()
missing our marking the inode for COMMIT in 'do_writepages()' call.

Reverting this patch, fixes a performance regression in which the inode
would continuously get queued to the dirty list, causing the writeback
code to unnecessarily try to send a COMMIT.

Now that the inode scalability patches have been merged, it is no longer
safe to call igrab() under the inode->i_lock.
Now that we no longer call nfs_clear_request() until the nfs_page is

nfs_open_context, which again holds a reference to the path, and so
the inode cannot be freed until the last nfs_page has been removed
from the radix tree and freed.

We can therefore skip the igrab()/iput() altogether.

Fred Isaman e0c2b38018 NFSv4.1: filelayout driver specific code for COMMIT
Implement all the hooks created in the previous patches.
This requires exporting quite a few functions and adding a few
structure fields.

Fred Isaman 988b6dceb0 NFSv4.1: remove GETATTR from ds commits
Any COMMIT compound directed to a data server needs to have the
GETATTR calls suppressed.  We here, make sure the field we are testing
(data->lseg) is set and refcounted correctly.

Fred Isaman a861a1e1c3 NFSv4.1: add generic layer hooks for pnfs COMMIT
We create three major hooks for the pnfs code.

pnfs_mark_request_commit() is called during writeback_done from
nfs_mark_request_commit, which gives the driver an opportunity to
claim it wants control over commiting a particular req.

pnfs_choose_commit_list() is called from nfs_scan_list
to choose which list a given req should be added to, based on
where we intend to send it for COMMIT.  It is up to the driver
to have preallocated list headers for each destination it may need.

pnfs_commit_list() is how the driver actually takes control, it is
used instead of nfs_commit_list().

In order to pass information between the above functions, we create
a union in nfs_page to hold a lseg (which is possible because the req is
not on any list while in transition), and add some flags to indicate
if we need to use the pnfs code.

Fred Isaman 465d52437d NFSv4.1: don't send COMMIT to ds for data sync writes
Based on consensus reached in Feb 2011 interim IETF meeting regarding
use of LAYOUTCOMMIT, it has been decided that a NFS_DATA_SYNC return
from a WRITE to data server should not initiate a COMMIT.

Trond Myklebust b8413f98f9 NFS: Fix a hang/infinite loop in nfs_wb_page()
When one of the two waits in nfs_commit_inode() is interrupted, it
returns a non-negative value, which causes nfs_wb_page() to think
that the operation was successful causing it to busy-loop rather
than exiting.
It also causes nfs_file_fsync() to incorrectly report the file as
being successfully committed to disk.

This patch fixes both problems by ensuring that we return an error
if the attempts to wait fail.

Trond Myklebust b31268ac79 FS: Use stable writes when not doing a bulk flush
If we're only doing a single write, and there are no other unstable
writes being queued up, we might want to just flip to using a stable
write RPC call.
