1c0eeaf569 introduce I_SYNC
I_LOCK was used for several unrelated purposes, which caused deadlock
situations in certain filesystems as a side effect.  One of the purposes
now uses the new I_SYNC bit.

Also document the various bits and change their order from historical to
logical.

0e0f4fc22e writeback: fix periodic superblock dirty inode flushing
Current -mm tree has bucketful of bug fixes in periodic writeback path.
However, we still hit a glitch where dirty pages on a given inode aren't
completely flushed to the disk, and system will accumulate large amount of
dirty pages beyond what dirty_expire_interval is designed for.

The problem is __sync_single_inode() will move an inode to sb->s_dirty list
even when there are more pending dirty pages on that inode.  If there is
another inode with a small number of dirty pages, we hit a case where the loop
iteration in wb_kupdate() terminates prematurely because wbc.nr_to_write > 0.
Thus leaving the inode that has large amount of dirty pages behind and it has
to wait for another dirty_writeback_interval before we flush it again.  We
effectively only write out MAX_WRITEBACK_PAGES every dirty_writeback_interval.
If the rate of dirtying is sufficiently high, the system will start
accumulate a large number of dirty pages.

So fix it by having another sb->s_more_io list on which to park the inode
while we iterate through sb->s_io and to allow each dirty inode which resides
on that sb to have an equal chance of flushing some amount of dirty pages.

2b47c3611d Fix f_version type: should be u64 instead of unsigned long
Fix f_version type: should be u64 instead of long

There is a type inconsistency between struct inode i_version and struct file
f_version.

fs.h:

struct inode
  u64                     i_version;

and

struct file
  unsigned long           f_version;

Users do:

fs/ext3/dir.c:

if (filp->f_version != inode->i_version) {

So why isn't f_version a u64 ? It becomes a problem if versions gets
higher than 2^32 and we are on an architecture where longs are 32 bits.

This patch changes the f_version type to u64, and updates the users accordingly.

It applies to 2.6.23-rc2-mm2.

Now there is only files_init use the mempages parameter,

but I don't think the adaptation to mempages in files_init is really
useful; and if files_init also changed to the prototype void (*func)(void),
the wrapper vfs_caches_init would also not need the mempages parameter.

Make a distinction between file and dir usage of i_mutex.
The inode should be complete and unused at unlock_new_inode(), re-init
i_mutex depending on its type.

7f8ada98d9 Rework /proc/locks via seq_files and seq_list helpers
Currently /proc/locks is shown with a proc_read function, but its behavior
is rather complex as it has to manually handle current offset and buffer
length.  On the other hand, files that show objects from lists can be
easily reimplemented using the sequential files and the seq_list_XXX()
helpers.

This saves (as usually) 16 lines of code and more than 200 from
the .text section.

a16877ca9c Cleanup macros for distinguishing mandatory locks
The combination of S_ISGID bit set and S_IXGRP bit unset is used to mark the
inode as "mandatory lockable" and there's a macro for this check called
MANDATORY_LOCK(inode).  However, fs/locks.c and some filesystems still perform
the explicit i_mode checking.  Besides, Andrew pointed out, that this macro is
buggy itself, as it dereferences the inode arg twice.

Convert this macro into static inline function and switch its users to it,
making the code shorter and more readable.

The __mandatory_lock() helper is to be used in places where the IS_MANDLOCK()
for superblock is already known to be true.

Currently leases are only kept locally, so there's no way for a distributed

case nfsd needs cluster-coherent leases in order to implement delegations
correctly.

a9933cea7a locks: rename lease functions to reflect locks.c conventions
We've been using the convention that vfs_foo is the function that calls
a filesystem-specific foo method if it exists, or falls back on a
generic method if it doesn't; thus vfs_foo is what is called when some
other part of the kernel (normally lockd or nfsd) wants to get a lock,
whereas foo is what filesystems call to use the underlying local
functionality as part of their lock implementation.

So rename setlease to vfs_setlease (which will call a
filesystem-specific setlease after a later patch) and __setlease to
setlease.

Also, vfs_setlease need only be GPL-exported as long as it's only needed
by lockd and nfsd.

97ac73506c sys_fallocate() implementation on i386, x86_64 and powerpc
fallocate() is a new system call being proposed here which will allow
applications to preallocate space to any file(s) in a file system.
Each file system implementation that wants to use this feature will need
to support an inode operation called ->fallocate().
Applications can use this feature to avoid fragmentation to certain
level and thus get faster access speed. With preallocation, applications
also get a guarantee of space for particular file(s) - even if later the
the system becomes full.

Currently, glibc provides an interface called posix_fallocate() which
can be used for similar cause. Though this has the advantage of working
on all file systems, but it is quite slow (since it writes zeroes to
each block that has to be preallocated). Without a doubt, file systems
can do this more efficiently within the kernel, by implementing
the proposed fallocate() system call. It is expected that
posix_fallocate() will be modified to call this new system call first
and incase the kernel/filesystem does not implement it, it should fall
back to the current implementation of writing zeroes to the new blocks.
ToDos:
1. Implementation on other architectures (other than i386, x86_64,
   and ppc). Patches for s390(x) and ia64 are already available from
   previous posts, but it was decided that they should be added later
   once fallocate is in the mainline. Hence not including those patches
   in this take.
2. Changes to glibc,
   a) to support fallocate() system call
   b) to make posix_fallocate() and posix_fallocate64() call fallocate()

3bd858ab1c Introduce is_owner_or_cap() to wrap CAP_FOWNER use with fsuid check
Introduce is_owner_or_cap() macro in fs.h, and convert over relevant
users to it. This is done because we want to avoid bugs in the future
where we check for only effective fsuid of the current task against a
file's owning uid, without simultaneously checking for CAP_FOWNER as
well, thus violating its semantics.
[ XFS uses special macros and structures, and in general looked ...
untouchable, so we leave it alone -- but it has been looked over. ]

The (current->fsuid != inode->i_uid) check in generic_permission() and
exec_permission_lite() is left alone, because those operations are
covered by CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE and CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH. Similarly operations
falling under the purview of CAP_CHOWN and CAP_LEASE are also left alone.

fc9a07e7bf invalidate_mapping_pages(): add cond_resched
invalidate_mapping_pages() can sometimes take a long time (millions of pages
to free).  Long enough for the softlockup detector to trigger.

We used to have a cond_resched() in there but I took it out because the
drop_caches code calls invalidate_mapping_pages() under inode_lock.

The patch adds a nasty flag and puts the cond_resched() back.

d054fe3d10 xip sendfile removal
This patch removes xip_file_sendfile, the sendfile implementation for
xip without replacement. Those customers that use xip on s390 are not
using sendfile() as far as we know, and so far s390 is the only platform
this could potentially be used on so far.
Having sendfile is not a popular feature for execute in place file
systems, however we have a working implementation of splice_read() based
on fs/splice.c if anyone asks for it.
At this point in time, it does not seem preferable to merge
splice_read() for xip because it causes extra maintenence effort due to
code duplication and it requires struct page behind the xip memory
segment. We'd like to get rid of that in favor of supporting flash based
embedded platforms (Monta Vista work) soon.

79c0b2df79 add filesystem subtype support
There's a slight problem with filesystem type representation in fuse
based filesystems.

From the kernel's view, there are just two filesystem types: fuse and
fuseblk.  From the user's view there are lots of different filesystem
types.  The user is not even much concerned if the filesystem is fuse based
or not.  So there's a conflict of interest in how this should be
represented in fstab, mtab and /proc/mounts.

The current scheme is to encode the real filesystem type in the mount
source.  So an sshfs mount looks like this:

  sshfs#user@server:/   /mnt/server    fuse   rw,nosuid,nodev,...

This url-ish syntax works OK for sshfs and similar filesystems.  However
for block device based filesystems (ntfs-3g, zfs) it doesn't work, since
the kernel expects the mount source to be a real device name.

A possibly better scheme would be to encode the real type in the type
field as "type.subtype".  So fuse mounts would look like this:

  /dev/hda1       /mnt/windows   fuseblk.ntfs-3g   rw,...
  user@server:/   /mnt/server    fuse.sshfs        rw,nosuid,nodev,...

This patch adds the necessary code to the kernel so that this can be
correctly displayed in /proc/mounts.
