Peter Staubach 64672d55d9 optimize attribute timeouts for "noac" and "actimeo=0" 
Hi.

I've been looking at a bugzilla which describes a problem where
a customer was advised to use either the "noac" or "actimeo=0"
mount options to solve a consistency problem that they were
seeing in the file attributes.  It turned out that this solution
did not work reliably for them because sometimes, the local
attribute cache was believed to be valid and not timed out.
(With an attribute cache timeout of 0, the cache should always
appear to be timed out.)

In looking at this situation, it appears to me that the problem
is that the attribute cache timeout code has an off-by-one
error in it.  It is assuming that the cache is valid in the
region, [read_cache_jiffies, read_cache_jiffies + attrtimeo].  The
cache should be considered valid only in the region,
[read_cache_jiffies, read_cache_jiffies + attrtimeo).  With this
change, the options, "noac" and "actimeo=0", work as originally
expected.

This problem was previously addressed by special casing the
attrtimeo == 0 case.  However, since the problem is only an off-
by-one error, the cleaner solution is address the off-by-one
error and thus, not require the special case.

    Thanx...

        ps

* We want to do realistic conversions of time so we need to use the same
* values the update wall clock code uses as the jiffies size. This value
* is: TICK_NSEC (which is defined in timex.h). This
* is a constant and is in nanoseconds. We will use scaled math
* with a set of scales defined here as SEC_JIFFIE_SC, USEC_JIFFIE_SC and
* NSEC_JIFFIE_SC. Note that these defines contain nothing but
* constants and so are computed at compile time. SHIFT_HZ (computed in
* timex.h) adjusts the scaling for different HZ values.
* Scaled math??? What is that?
*
* Scaled math is a way to do integer math on values that would,
* otherwise, either overflow, underflow, or cause undesired div
* instructions to appear in the execution path. In short, we "scale"
* up the operands so they take more bits (more precision, less
* underflow), do the desired operation and then "scale" the result back
* by the same amount. If we do the scaling by shifting we avoid the
* costly mpy and the dastardly div instructions.
* Suppose, for example, we want to convert from seconds to jiffies
* where jiffies is defined in nanoseconds as NSEC_PER_JIFFIE. The
* simple math is: jiff = (sec * NSEC_PER_SEC) / NSEC_PER_JIFFIE; We
* observe that (NSEC_PER_SEC / NSEC_PER_JIFFIE) is a constant which we
* might calculate at compile time, however, the result will only have
* about 3-4 bits of precision (less for smaller values of HZ).
*
* So, we scale as follows:
* jiff = (sec) * (NSEC_PER_SEC / NSEC_PER_JIFFIE);
* jiff = ((sec) * ((NSEC_PER_SEC * SCALE)/ NSEC_PER_JIFFIE)) / SCALE;
* Then we make SCALE a power of two so:
* jiff = ((sec) * ((NSEC_PER_SEC << SCALE)/ NSEC_PER_JIFFIE)) >> SCALE;
* Now we define:
* #define SEC_CONV = ((NSEC_PER_SEC << SCALE)/ NSEC_PER_JIFFIE))
* jiff = (sec * SEC_CONV) >> SCALE;
*
* Often the math we use will expand beyond 32-bits so we tell C how to
* do this and pass the 64-bit result of the mpy through the ">> SCALE"
* which should take the result back to 32-bits. We want this expansion
* to capture as much precision as possible. At the same time we don't
* want to overflow so we pick the SCALE to avoid this. In this file,
* that means using a different scale for each range of HZ values (as
* defined in timex.h).
*
* For those who want to know, gcc will give a 64-bit result from a "*"
* operator if the result is a long long AND at least one of the
* operands is cast to long long (usually just prior to the "*" so as
* not to confuse it into thinking it really has a 64-bit operand,
* which, buy the way, it can do, but it takes more code and at least 2
* mpys).
* We also need to be aware that one second in nanoseconds is only a
* couple of bits away from overflowing a 32-bit word, so we MUST use
* 64-bits to get the full range time in nanoseconds.

* Here are the scales we will use. One for seconds, nanoseconds and

*
* Within the limits of cpp we do a rough cut at the SEC_JIFFIE_SC and

* (Gets an extra bit of precision where we can use it.)
* We know it is set for HZ = 1024 and HZ = 100 not for 1000.
* Haven't tested others.
* Limits of cpp (for #if expressions) only long (no long long), but
