Implement barrier support for single device DM devices
This patch implements barrier support in DM for the common case of dm linear
just remapping a single underlying device. In this case we can safely
pass the barrier through because there can be no reordering between
devices.
NB. Any DM device might cease to support barriers if it gets
reconfigured so code must continue to allow for a possible
-EOPNOTSUPP on every barrier bio submitted. - agk

This patch adds the following target interfaces for request-based dm.
map_rq : for mapping a request
rq_end_io : for finishing a request
busy : for avoiding performance regression from bio-based dm.
Target can tell dm core not to map requests now, and
that may help requests in the block layer queue to be
bigger by I/O merging.
In bio-based dm, this behavior is done by device
drivers managing the block layer queue.
But in request-based dm, dm core has to do that
since dm core manages the block layer queue.

Change dm_unregister_target to return void and use BUG() for error
reporting.
dm_unregister_target can only fail because of programming bug in the
target driver. It can't fail because of user's behavior or disk errors.
This patch changes unregister_target to return void and use BUG if
someone tries to unregister non-registered target or unregister target
that is in use.
This patch removes code duplication (testing of error codes in all dm
targets) and reports bugs in just one place, in dm_unregister_target. In
some target drivers, these return codes were ignored, which could lead
to a situation where bugs could be missed.

An XFS workload showed up a bug in the lockless pagecache patch. Basically it
would go into an "infinite" loop, although it would sometimes be able to break
out of the loop! The reason is a missing compiler barrier in the "increment
reference count unless it was zero" case of the lockless pagecache protocol in
the gang lookup functions.
This would cause the compiler to use a cached value of struct page pointer to
retry the operation with, rather than reload it. So the page might have been
removed from pagecache and freed (refcount==0) but the lookup would not correctly
notice the page is no longer in pagecache, and keep attempting to increment the
refcount and failing, until the page gets reallocated for something else. This
isn't a data corruption because the condition will be detected if the page has
been reallocated. However it can result in a lockup.
Linus points out that ACCESS_ONCE is also required in that pointer load, even
if it's absence is not causing a bug on our particular build. The most general
way to solve this is just to put an rcu_dereference in radix_tree_deref_slot.

The problems lie in the types used for some inotify interfaces, both at the kernel level and at the glibc level. This mail addresses the kernel problem. I will follow up with some suggestions for glibc changes.
For the sys_inotify_rm_watch() interface, the type of the 'wd' argument is
currently 'u32', it should be '__s32' . That is Robert's suggestion, and
is consistent with the other declarations of watch descriptors in the
kernel source, in particular, the inotify_event structure in
include/linux/inotify.h:
struct inotify_event {
__s32 wd; /* watch descriptor */
__u32 mask; /* watch mask */
__u32 cookie; /* cookie to synchronize two events */
__u32 len; /* length (including nulls) of name */
char name[0]; /* stub for possible name */
};
The patch makes the changes needed for inotify_rm_watch().

Fsync currently has a fdatawrite/fdatawait pair around the method call,
and a mutex_lock/unlock of the inode mutex. All callers of fsync have
to duplicate this, but we have a few and most of them don't quite get
it right. This patch adds a new vfs_fsync that takes care of this.
It's a little more complicated as usual as ->fsync might get a NULL file
pointer and just a dentry from nfsd, but otherwise gets afile and we
want to take the mapping and file operations from it when it is there.
Notes on the fsync callers:
- ecryptfs wasn't calling filemap_fdatawrite / filemap_fdatawait on the
lower file
- coda wasn't calling filemap_fdatawrite / filemap_fdatawait on the host
file, and returning 0 when ->fsync was missing
- shm wasn't calling either filemap_fdatawrite / filemap_fdatawait nor
taking i_mutex. Now given that shared memory doesn't have disk
backing not doing anything in fsync seems fine and I left it out of
the vfs_fsync conversion for now, but in that case we might just
not pass it through to the lower file at all but just call the no-op
simple_sync_file directly.

Filesystems often to do compute intensive operation on some
metadata. If this operation is repeated many times, it can be very
expensive. It would be much nicer if the operation could be performed
once before a buffer goes to disk.
This adds triggers to jbd2 buffer heads. Just before writing a metadata
buffer to the journal, jbd2 will optionally call a commit trigger associated
with the buffer. If the journal is aborted, an abort trigger will be
called on any dirty buffers as they are dropped from pending
transactions.
ocfs2 will use this feature.
Initially I tried to come up with a more generic trigger that could be
used for non-buffer-related events like transaction completion. It
doesn't tie nicely, because the information a buffer trigger needs
(specific to a journal_head) isn't the same as what a transaction
trigger needs (specific to a tranaction_t or perhaps journal_t). So I
implemented a buffer set, with the understanding that
journal/transaction wide triggers should be implemented separately.
There is only one trigger set allowed per buffer. I can't think of any
reason to attach more than one set. Contrast this with a journal or
transaction in which multiple places may want to watch the entire
transaction separately.
The trigger sets are considered static allocation from the jbd2
perspective. ocfs2 will just have one trigger set per block type,
setting the same set on every bh of the same type.

This patch allows GRO to merge page frags (skb_shinfo(skb)->frags)
in one skb, rather than using the less efficient frag_list.
It also adds a new interface, napi_gro_frags to allow drivers
to inject page frags directly into the stack without allocating
an skb. This is intended to be the GRO equivalent for LRO's
lro_receive_frags interface.
The existing GSO interface can already handle page frags with
or without an appended frag_list so nothing needs to be changed
there.
The merging itself is rather simple. We store any new frag entries
after the last existing entry, without checking whether the first
new entry can be merged with the last existing entry. Making this
check would actually be easy but since no existing driver can
produce contiguous frags anyway it would just be mental masturbation.
If the total number of entries would exceed the capacity of a
single skb, we simply resort to using frag_list as we do now.

Thanks to excellent diagnosis by Eduard Guzovsky.
The core problem is that on a network with lots of active
multicast traffic, the neighbour cache can fill up. If
we try to allocate a new route and thus neighbour cache
entry, the bog-standard GC attempt the neighbour layer does
in ineffective because route entries hold a reference
to the existing neighbour entries and GC can only liberate
entries with no references.
IPV4 already has a way to handle this, by doing a route cache
GC in such situations (when neigh attach returns -ENOBUFS).
So simply mimick this on the ipv6 side.

Introduce stop_machine_create/destroy. With this interface subsystems
that need a non-failing stop_machine environment can create the
stop_machine machine threads before actually calling stop_machine.
When the threads aren't needed anymore they can be killed with
stop_machine_destroy again.
When stop_machine gets called and the threads aren't present they
will be created and destroyed automatically. This restores the old
behaviour of stop_machine.
This patch also converts cpu hotplug to the new interface since it
is special: cpu_down calls __stop_machine instead of stop_machine.
However the kstop threads will only be created when stop_machine
gets called.
Changing the code so that the threads would be created automatically
on __stop_machine is currently not possible: when __stop_machine gets
called we hold cpu_add_remove_lock, which is the same lock that
create_rt_workqueue would take. So the workqueue needs to be created
before the cpu hotplug code locks cpu_add_remove_lock.

With the write_begin/write_end aops, page_symlink was broken because it
could no longer pass a GFP_NOFS type mask into the point where the
allocations happened. They are done in write_begin, which would always
assume that the filesystem can be entered from reclaim. This bug could
cause filesystem deadlocks.
The funny thing with having a gfp_t mask there is that it doesn't really
allow the caller to arbitrarily tinker with the context in which it can be
called. It couldn't ever be GFP_ATOMIC, for example, because it needs to
take the page lock. The only thing any callers care about is __GFP_FS
anyway, so turn that into a single flag.
Add a new flag for write_begin, AOP_FLAG_NOFS. Filesystems can now act on
this flag in their write_begin function. Change __grab_cache_page to
accept a nofs argument as well, to honour that flag (while we're there,
change the name to grab_cache_page_write_begin which is more instructive
and does away with random leading underscores).
This is really a more flexible way to go in the end anyway -- if a
filesystem happens to want any extra allocations aside from the pagecache
ones in ints write_begin function, it may now use GFP_KERNEL (rather than
GFP_NOFS) for common case allocations (eg. ocfs2_alloc_write_ctxt, for a
random example).

[ Cleaned up the calling convention: just pass in the AOP flags
untouched to the grab_cache_page_write_begin() function. That
just simplifies everybody, and may even allow future expansion of the
logic. - Linus ]

As suggested by Andreas Dilger, introduce a bgl_lock_ptr() helper in
<linux/blockgroup_lock.h> and add separate sb_bgl_lock() helpers to
filesystem specific header files to break the hidden dependency to
struct ext[234]_sb_info.
Also, while at it, convert the macros to static inlines to try make up
for all the times I broke Andrew Morton's tree.
