Alexandros Batsakis 9449925273 NFS: change stateid to be a union
In NFSv4.1 the stateid consists of the other and seqid fields. For layout
processing we need to numerically compare the seqid value of layout stateids.
To do so, introduce a union to nfs4_stateid to switch between opaque(16 bytes)
and opaque(12 bytes) / __be32

Ricardo Labiaga 6b96724e50 Revalidate caches on lock
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.

Bryan Schumaker 82f2e5472e NFS: Readdir plus in v4
By requsting more attributes during a readdir, we can mimic the readdir plus
operation that was in NFSv3.

To test, I ran the command `ls -lU --color=none` on directories with various
numbers of files.  Without readdir plus, I see this:

n files |    100    |   1,000   |  10,000   |  100,000  | 1,000,000

total   | 111       | 1,021     | 10,163    | 101,583   | 1,015,784

With readdir plus enabled, I see this:

n files |    100    |   1,000   |  10,000   |  100,000  | 1,000,000

total   | 15        | 67        | 635       | 6,305     | 63,004

Readdir plus disabled has about a 16x increase in the number of rpc calls and
is 4 - 5 times slower on large directories.

Bryan Schumaker 955a857e06 NFS: new idmapper
This patch creates a new idmapper system that uses the request-key function to
place a call into userspace to map user and group ids to names.  The old
idmapper was single threaded, which prevented more than one request from running
at a single time.  This means that a user would have to wait for an upcall to
finish before accessing a cached result.

The upcall result is stored on a keyring of type id_resolver.  See the file
Documentation/filesystems/nfs/idmapper.txt for instructions.

Benny Halevy dfb4f30983 NFSv4.1: keep seq_res.sr_slot as pointer rather than an index
Having to explicitly initialize sr_slotid to NFS4_MAX_SLOT_TABLE
resulted in numerous bugs.  Keeping the current slot as a pointer
to the slot table is more straight forward and robust as it's
implicitly set up to NULL wherever the seq_res member is initialized
to zeroes.

Suresh Jayaraman 5eebde2322 nfs: introduce mount option '-olocal_lock' to make locks local
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.

Jeff Layton d3d4152a5d nfs: make sillyrename an async operation
A synchronous rename can be interrupted by a SIGKILL. If that happens
during a sillyrename operation, it's possible for the rename call to
be sent to the server, but the task exits before processing the
reply. If this happens, the sillyrenamed file won't get cleaned up
during nfs_dentry_iput and the server is left with a dangling .nfs* file
hanging around.

Fix this problem by turning sillyrename into an asynchronous operation
and have the task doing the sillyrename just wait on the reply. If the
task is killed before the sillyrename completes, it'll still proceed
to completion.

Eric Paris 2eebf582c9 fanotify: flush outstanding perm requests on group destroy
When an fanotify listener is closing it may cause a deadlock between the
listener and the original task doing an fs operation.  If the original task
is waiting for a permissions response it will be holding the srcu lock.  The
listener cannot clean up and exit until after that srcu lock is syncronized.
Thus deadlock.  The fix introduced here is to stop accepting new permissions
events when a listener is shutting down and to grant permission for all
outstanding events.  Thus the original task will eventually release the srcu
lock and the listener can complete shutdown.

Linus Torvalds 297c5eee37 mm: make the vma list be doubly linked
It's a really simple list, and several of the users want to go backwards
in it to find the previous vma.  So rather than have to look up the
previous entry with 'find_vma_prev()' or something similar, just make it
doubly linked instead.

Kay Sievers 8905aaafb4 Input: uinput - add devname alias to allow module on-demand load
Recent modprobe and udev versions allow to create device nodes
for modules which are not loaded. Only the first access will cause
the in-kernel module loader to pull-in the module. Systems which
never access the device node will not needlessly load the module,
and no longer need init scripts or other facilities to unconditionally
load it.

Nick Piggin 6416ccb789 fs: scale files_lock
fs: scale files_lock

Improve scalability of files_lock by adding per-cpu, per-sb files lists,
protected with an lglock. The lglock provides fast access to the per-cpu lists
to add and remove files. It also provides a snapshot of all the per-cpu lists
(although this is very slow).

One difficulty with this approach is that a file can be removed from the list
by another CPU. We must track which per-cpu list the file is on with a new
variale in the file struct (packed into a hole on 64-bit archs). Scalability
could suffer if files are frequently removed from different cpu's list.

However loads with frequent removal of files imply short interval between
adding and removing the files, and the scheduler attempts to avoid moving
processes too far away. Also, even in the case of cross-CPU removal, the
hardware has much more opportunity to parallelise cacheline transfers with N
cachelines than with 1.

A worst-case test of 1 CPU allocating files subsequently being freed by N CPUs
degenerates to contending on a single lock, which is no worse than before. When
more than one CPU are allocating files, even if they are always freed by
different CPUs, there will be more parallelism than the single-lock case.

Testing results:

On a 2 socket, 8 core opteron, I measure the number of times the lock is taken
to remove the file, the number of times it is removed by the same CPU that
added it, and the number of times it is removed by the same node that added it.

Booting:    locks=  25049 cpu-hits=  23174 (92.5%) node-hits=  23945 (95.6%)
kbuild -j16 locks=2281913 cpu-hits=2208126 (96.8%) node-hits=2252674 (98.7%)
dbench 64   locks=4306582 cpu-hits=4287247 (99.6%) node-hits=4299527 (99.8%)

So a file is removed from the same CPU it was added by over 90% of the time.
It remains within the same node 95% of the time.

Tim Chen ran some numbers for a 64 thread Nehalem system performing a compile.

                throughput
2.6.34-rc2      24.5
+patch          24.9

                us      sys     idle    IO wait (in %)
2.6.34-rc2      51.25   28.25   17.25   3.25
+patch          53.75   18.5    19      8.75

So significantly less CPU time spent in kernel code, higher idle time and
slightly higher throughput.

Single threaded performance difference was within the noise of microbenchmarks.
That is not to say penalty does not exist, the code is larger and more memory
accesses required so it will be slightly slower.

Nick Piggin 2dc91abe03 lglock: introduce special lglock and brlock spin locks
lglock: introduce special lglock and brlock spin locks

This patch introduces "local-global" locks (lglocks). These can be used to:

- Provide fast exclusive access to per-CPU data, with exclusive access to
  another CPU's data allowed but possibly subject to contention, and to provide
  very slow exclusive access to all per-CPU data.
- Or to provide very fast and scalable read serialisation, and to provide
  very slow exclusive serialisation of data (not necessarily per-CPU data).

Brlocks are also implemented as a short-hand notation for the latter use
case.

Thanks to Paul for local/global naming convention.

Nick Piggin d996b62a8d tty: fix fu_list abuse
tty: fix fu_list abuse

tty code abuses fu_list, which causes a bug in remount,ro handling.

If a tty device node is opened on a filesystem, then the last link to the inode
removed, the filesystem will be allowed to be remounted readonly. This is
because fs_may_remount_ro does not find the 0 link tty inode on the file sb
list (because the tty code incorrectly removed it to use for its own purpose).
This can result in a filesystem with errors after it is marked "clean".

Taking idea from Christoph's initial patch, allocate a tty private struct
at file->private_data and put our required list fields in there, linking
file and tty. This makes tty nodes behave the same way as other device nodes
and avoid meddling with the vfs, and avoids this bug.

The error handling is not trivial in the tty code, so for this bugfix, I take
the simple approach of using __GFP_NOFAIL and don't worry about memory errors.
This is not a problem because our allocator doesn't fail small allocs as a rule
anyway. So proper error handling is left as an exercise for tty hackers.

[ Arguably filesystem's device inode would ideally be divorced from the
driver's pseudo inode when it is opened, but in practice it's not clear whether
that will ever be worth implementing. ]
