Fix file and directory removal in debugfs. Add inotify support for file removal.
The following scenario :
create dir a
create dir a/b
cd a/b (some process goes in cwd a/b)
rmdir a/b
rmdir a
fails due to the fact that "a" appears to be non empty. It is because
the "b" dentry is not deleted from "a" and still in use. The same
problem happens if "b" is a file. d_delete is nice enough to know when
it needs to unhash and free the dentry if nothing else is using it or,
if someone is using it, to remove it from the hash queues and wait for
it to be deleted when it has no users.
The nice side-effect of this fix is that it calls the file removal
notification.

Correct dentry count to handle creation errors.
This patch puts a dput at the file creation instead of the file removal :
lookup_one_len already returns a dentry with reference count of 1. Then,
the dget() in simple_mknod increments it when the dentry is associated
with a file. In a scenario where simple_create or simple_mkdir returns
an error, this would lead to an unwanted increment of the reference
counter, therefore making file removal impossible.

To avoid tying up server threads when nfsd makes an upcall (to mountd, to get
export options, to idmapd, for nfsv4 name<->id mapping, etc.), we temporarily
"drop" the request and save enough information so that we can revisit it
later.
Certain failures during the deferral process can cause us to really drop the
request and never revisit it.
This is often less than ideal, and is unacceptable in the NFSv4 case--rfc 3530
forbids the server from dropping a request without also closing the
connection.
As a first step, we modify the deferral code to return -ETIMEDOUT (which is
translated to nfserr_jukebox in the v3 and v4 cases, and remains a drop in the

Implement block device specific .direct_IO method instead of going through

direct_io_worker() is fairly complex because it needs to handle O_DIRECT on
file system, where it needs to perform block allocation, hole detection,
extents file on write, and tons of other corner cases. The end result is
that it takes tons of CPU time to submit an I/O.
For block device, the block allocation is much simpler and a tight triple
loop can be written to iterate each iovec and each page within the iovec in
order to construct/prepare bio structure and then subsequently submit it to
the block layer. This significantly speeds up O_D on block device.

As reported by Andy Whitcroft, at least the SLES9 initrd build process
depends on getting the kernel version from the kernel binary. It does
that by simply trawling the binary and looking for the signature of the
"linux_banner" string (the string "Linux version " to be exact. Which
is really broken in itself, but whatever..)
That got broken when the string was changed to allow /proc/version to
change the UTS release information dynamically, and "get_kernel_version"
thus returned "%s" (see commit a2ee8649ba6d71416712e798276bf7c40b64e6e5:
"[PATCH] Fix linux banner utsname information").
This just restores "linux_banner" as a static string, which should fix
the version finding. And /proc/version simply uses a different string.
To avoid wasting even that miniscule amount of memory, the early boot
string should really be marked __initdata, but that just causes the same
bug in SLES9 to re-appear, since it will then find other occurrences of
"Linux version " first.

This patch provides an improved fdtable allocation scheme, useful for
expanding fdtable file descriptor entries. The main focus is on the fdarray,
as its memory usage grows 128 times faster than that of an fdset.
The allocation algorithm sizes the fdarray in such a way that its memory usage
increases in easy page-sized chunks. The overall algorithm expands the allowed
size in powers of two, in order to amortize the cost of invoking vmalloc() for
larger allocation sizes. Namely, the following sizes for the fdarray are
considered, and the smallest that accommodates the requested fd count is
chosen:
pagesize / 4
pagesize / 2
pagesize <- memory allocator switch point
pagesize * 2
pagesize * 4
...etc...
Unlike the current implementation, this allocation scheme does not require a
loop to compute the optimal fdarray size, and can be done in efficient
straightline code.
Furthermore, since the fdarray overflows the pagesize boundary long before any
of the fdsets do, it makes sense to optimize run-time by allocating both
fdsets in a single swoop. Even together, they will still be, by far, smaller
than the fdarray. The fdtable->open_fds is now used as the anchor for the
fdset memory allocation.

An fdtable can either be embedded inside a files_struct or standalone (after
being expanded). When an fdtable is being discarded after all RCU references
to it have expired, we must either free it directly, in the standalone case,
or free the files_struct it is contained within, in the embedded case.
Currently the free_files field controls this behavior, but we can get rid of
it entirely, as all the necessary information is already recorded. We can
distinguish embedded and standalone fdtables using max_fds, and if it is
embedded we can divine the relevant files_struct using container_of().

Currently, each fdtable supports three dynamically-sized arrays of data: the
fdarray and two fdsets. The code allows the number of fds supported by the
fdarray (fdtable->max_fds) to differ from the number of fds supported by each
of the fdsets (fdtable->max_fdset).
In practice, it is wasteful for these two sizes to differ: whenever we hit a
limit on the smaller-capacity structure, we will reallocate the entire fdtable
and all the dynamic arrays within it, so any delta in the memory used by the
larger-capacity structure will never be touched at all.
Rather than hogging this excess, we shouldn't even allocate it in the first
place, and keep the capacities of the fdarray and the fdsets equal. This
patch removes fdtable->max_fdset. As an added bonus, most of the supporting
code becomes simpler.

The wait_for_more_bios() function name was poorly chosen. While looking to
clean it up it I noticed that the dio struct refcounting between the bio
completion and dio submission paths was racey.
The bio submission path was simply freeing the dio struct if
atomic_dec_and_test() indicated that it dropped the final reference.
The aio bio completion path was dereferencing its dio struct pointer *after
dropping its reference* based on the remaining number of references.
These two paths could race and result in the aio bio completion path
dereferencing a freed dio, though this was not observed in the wild.
This moves the refcount under the bio lock so that bio completion can drop
its reference and decide to wake all in one atomic step.
Once testing and waking is locked dio_await_one() can test its sleeping
condition and mark itself uninterruptible under the lock. It gets simpler
and wait_for_more_bios() disappears.
The addition of the interrupt masking spin lock acquiry in dio_bio_submit()
looks alarming. This lock acquiry existed in that path before the recent
dio completion patch set. We shouldn't expect significant performance
regression from returning to the behaviour that existed before the
completion clean up work.
This passed 4k block ext3 O_DIRECT fsx and aio-stress on an SMP machine.

The only time it is safe to call aio_complete() is when the ->ki_retry
function returns -EIOCBQUEUED to the AIO core. direct_io_worker() has
historically done this by relying on its caller to translate positive return
codes into -EIOCBQUEUED for the aio case. It did this by trying to keep
conditionals in sync. direct_io_worker() knew when finished_one_bio() was
going to call aio_complete(). It would reverse the test and wait and free the
dio in the cases it thought that finished_one_bio() wasn't going to.
Not surprisingly, it ended up getting it wrong. 'ret' could be a negative
errno from the submission path but it failed to communicate this to
finished_one_bio(). direct_io_worker() would return < 0, it's callers
wouldn't raise -EIOCBQUEUED, and aio_complete() would be called. In the
future finished_one_bio()'s tests wouldn't reflect this and aio_complete()
would be called for a second time which can manifest as an oops.
The previous cleanups have whittled the sync and async completion paths down
to the point where we can collapse them and clearly reassert the invariant
that we must only call aio_complete() after returning -EIOCBQUEUED.
direct_io_worker() will only return -EIOCBQUEUED when it is not the last to
drop the dio refcount and the aio bio completion path will only call
aio_complete() when it is the last to drop the dio refcount.
direct_io_worker() can ensure that it is the last to drop the reference count
by waiting for bios to drain. It does this for sync ops, of course, and for
partial dio writes that must fall back to buffered and for aio ops that saw
errors during submission.
This means that operations that end up waiting, even if they were issued as
aio ops, will not call aio_complete() from dio. Instead we return the return
code of the operation and let the aio core call aio_complete(). This is
purposely done to fix a bug where AIO DIO file extensions would call
aio_complete() before their callers have a chance to update i_size.
Now that direct_io_worker() is explicitly returning -EIOCBQUEUED its callers
no longer have to translate for it. XFS needs to be careful not to free
resources that will be used during AIO completion if -EIOCBQUEUED is returned.
We maintain the previous behaviour of trying to write fs metadata for O_SYNC
aio+dio writes.

Now that we have a single refcount and waiting path we can reuse it in the
async 'should_wait' path. It continues to rely on the fragile link between
the conditional in dio_complete_aio() which decides to complete the AIO and
the conditional in direct_io_worker() which decides to wait and free.
By waiting before dropping the reference we stop dio_bio_end_aio() from
calling dio_complete_aio() which used to wake up the waiter after seeing the
reference count drop to 0. We hoist this wake up into dio_bio_end_aio() which
now notices when it's left a single remaining reference that is held by the
waiter.

Previously we had two confusing counts of bio progress. 'bio_count' was
decremented as bios were processed and freed by the dio core. It was used to
indicate final completion of the dio operation. 'bios_in_flight' reflected
how many bios were between submit_bio() and bio->end_io. It was used by the
sync path to decide when to wake up and finish completing bios and was ignored
by the async path.
This patch collapses the two notions into one notion of a dio reference count.
bios hold a dio reference when they're between submit_bio and bio->end_io.
Since bios_in_flight was only used in the sync path it is now equivalent to
dio->refcount - 1 which accounts for direct_io_worker() holding a reference
for the duration of the operation.
dio_bio_complete() -> finished_one_bio() was called from the sync path after
finding bios on the list that the bio->end_io function had deposited.
finished_one_bio() can not drop the dio reference on behalf of these bios now
because bio->end_io already has. The is_async test in finished_one_bio()
meant that it never actually did anything other than drop the bio_count for
sync callers. So we remove its refcount decrement, don't call it from
dio_bio_complete(), and hoist its call up into the async dio_bio_complete()
caller after an explicit refcount decrement. It is renamed dio_complete_aio()
to reflect the remaining work it actually does.
