Ceph was hitting this race where we would remove an inode from the per-root
orphan list before we would release the space we had reserved for the inode.
We actually don't need a list or anything, we just need to make sure the
root doesn't try to free up the orphan reserve until after the inodes have
released their reservations. So use an atomic counter instead of a list on
the root and only decrement the counter after we've released our
reservation. I've tested this as well as several others and we no longer
see the warnings that you would see while running ceph. Thanks,

Miao pointed this out while I was working on an orphan problem that messing
with a bitfield where different ranges are protected by different locks
doesn't work out right. Turns out we've been doing this forever where we
have different parts of the bit field protected by either no lock at all or
different locks which could cause all sorts of weird problems including the
issue I was hitting. So instead make a runtime_flags thing that we use the
normal bit operations on that are all atomic so we can keep having our
no/different locking for the different flags and then make force_compress
it's own thing so it can be treated normally. Thanks,

When we write out the free space cache we will write out everything that is
in our in memory tree, and then we will just walk the pinned extents tree
and write anything we see there. The problem with this is that during
normal operations the pinned extents will be merged back into the free space
tree normally, and then we can allocate space from the merged areas and
commit them to the tree log. If we crash and replay the tree log we will
crash again because the tree log will try to free up space from what looks
like 2 seperate but contiguous entries, since one entry is from the original
free space cache and the other was a pinned extent that was merged back. To
fix this we just need to walk the free space tree after we load it and merge
contiguous entries back together. This will keep the tree log stuff from
breaking and it will make the allocator behave more nicely. Thanks,

We noticed that the ordered extent completion doesn't really rely on having
a page and that it could be done independantly of ending the writeback on a
page. This patch makes us not do the threaded endio stuff for normal
buffered writes and direct writes so we can end page writeback as soon as
possible (in irq context) and only start threads to do the ordered work when
it is actually done. Compression needs to be reworked some to take
advantage of this as well, but atm it has to do a find_get_page in its endio
handler so it must be done in its own thread. This makes direct writes
quite a bit faster. Thanks,

We are checking delalloc to see if it is ok to update the i_size. There are
2 cases it stops us from updating
1) If there is delalloc between our current disk_i_size and this ordered
extent
2) If there is delalloc between our current ordered extent and the next
ordered extent
These tests are racy however since we can set delalloc for these ranges at
any time. Also for the first case if we notice there is delalloc between
disk_i_size and our ordered extent we will not update disk_i_size and assume
that when that delalloc bit gets written out it will update everything
properly. However if we crash before that we will have file extents outside
of our i_size, which is not good, so this test is dangerous as well as racy.

Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik <josef@redhat.com>
In btrfs_wait_ordered_range we have been calling filemap_fdata_write() twice
because compression does strange things and then waiting. Then we look up
ordered extents and if we find any we will always schedule_timeout(); once
and then loop back around and do it all again. We will even check to see if
there is delalloc pages on this range and loop again. So this patch gets
rid of the multipe fdata_write() calls and just does
filemap_write_and_wait(). In the case of compression we will still find the
ordered extents and start those individually if we need to so that is ok,
but in the normal buffered case we avoid all this weird overhead.
Then in the case of the schedule_timeout(1), we don't need it. All callers
either 1) don't care, they just want to make sure what they just wrote maeks
it to disk or 2) are doing the lock()->lookup ordered->unlock->flush thing
in which case it will lock and check for ordered extents _anyway_ so get
back to them as quickly as possible. The delaloc check is simply not
needed, this only catches the case where we write to the file again since
doing the filemap_write_and_wait() and if the caller truly cares about that
it will take care of everything itself. Thanks,

The false return from cifs_d_revalidate(), due to the inode now

While testing, I've found that even when we are able to negotiate a
much larger rsize with the server, on-the-wire reads often end up being
capped at 128k because of ra_pages being capped at that level.
Lifting this restriction gave almost a twofold increase in sequential

I think this is safe since the actual ra_pages that the VM requests

The autofs packet size has had a very unfortunate size problem on x86:
because the alignment of 'u64' differs in 32-bit and 64-bit modes, and
because the packet data was not 8-byte aligned, the size of the autofsv5
packet structure differed between 32-bit and 64-bit modes despite
looking otherwise identical (300 vs 304 bytes respectively).
We first fixed that up by making the 64-bit compat mode know about this
problem in commit a32744d4ab ("autofs: work around unhappy compat
problem on x86-64"), and that made a 32-bit 'systemd' work happily on a
64-bit kernel because everything then worked the same way as on a 32-bit
kernel.
But it turned out that 'automount' had actually known and worked around
this problem in user space, so fixing the kernel to do the proper 32-bit
compatibility handling actually *broke* 32-bit automount on a 64-bit
kernel, because it knew that the packet sizes were wrong and expected
those incorrect sizes.
As a result, we ended up reverting that compatibility mode fix, and
thus breaking systemd again, in commit fcbf94b9de.
With both automount and systemd doing a single read() system call, and
verifying that they get *exactly* the size they expect but using
different sizes, it seemed that fixing one of them inevitably seemed to
break the other. At one point, a patch I seriously considered applying
from Michael Tokarev did a "strcmp()" to see if it was automount that
was doing the operation. Ugly, ugly.
However, a prettier solution exists now thanks to the packetized pipe
mode. By marking the communication pipe as being packetized (by simply
setting the O_DIRECT flag), we can always just write the bigger packet
size, and if user-space does a smaller read, it will just get that
partial end result and the extra alignment padding will simply be thrown
away.
This makes both automount and systemd happy, since they now get the size
they asked for, and the kernel side of autofs simply no longer needs to
care - it could pad out the packet arbitrarily.
Of course, if there is some *other* user of autofs (please, please,
please tell me it ain't so - and we haven't heard of any) that tries to
read the packets with multiple writes, that other user will now be
broken - the whole point of the packetized mode is that one system call
gets exactly one packet, and you cannot read a packet in pieces.

The actual internal pipe implementation is already really about
individual packets (called "pipe buffers"), and this simply exposes that
as a special packetized mode.
When we are in the packetized mode (marked by O_DIRECT as suggested by
Alan Cox), a write() on a pipe will not merge the new data with previous
writes, so each write will get a pipe buffer of its own. The pipe
buffer is then marked with the PIPE_BUF_FLAG_PACKET flag, which in turn
will tell the reader side to break the read at that boundary (and throw
away any partial packet contents that do not fit in the read buffer).
End result: as long as you do writes less than PIPE_BUF in size (so that
the pipe doesn't have to split them up), you can now treat the pipe as a
packet interface, where each read() system call will read one packet at
a time. You can just use a sufficiently big read buffer (PIPE_BUF is
sufficient, since bigger than that doesn't guarantee atomicity anyway),
and the return value of the read() will naturally give you the size of
the packet.
NOTE! We do not support zero-sized packets, and zero-sized reads and
writes to a pipe continue to be no-ops. Also note that big packets will
currently be split at write time, but that the size at which that
happens is not really specified (except that it's bigger than PIPE_BUF).
Currently that limit is the system page size, but we might want to
explicitly support bigger packets some day.
The main user for this is going to be the autofs packet interface,
allowing us to stop having to care so deeply about exact packet sizes
(which have had bugs with 32/64-bit compatibility modes). But user
space can create packetized pipes with "pipe2(fd, O_DIRECT)", which will
