d8a8559cd7 writeback: get rid of generic_sync_sb_inodes() export
This adds two new exported functions:

- writeback_inodes_sb(), which only attempts to writeback dirty inodes on
  this super_block, for WB_SYNC_NONE writeout.
- sync_inodes_sb(), which writes out all dirty inodes on this super_block
  and also waits for the IO to complete.

5909ccaa30 Make 'check_acl()' a first-class filesystem op
This is stage one in flattening out the callchains for the common
permission testing.  Rather than have most filesystem implement their
own inode->i_op->permission function that just calls back down to the
VFS layers 'generic_permission()' with the per-filesystem ACL checking
function, the filesystem can just expose its 'check_acl' function
directly, and let the VFS layer do everything for it.

This is all just preparatory - no filesystem actually enables this yet.

2e00c97e2c vfs: add __destroy_inode
When we want to tear down an inode that lost the add to the cache race
in XFS we must not call into ->destroy_inode because that would delete
the inode that won the race from the inode cache radix tree.

This patch provides the __destroy_inode helper needed to fix this,
the actual fix will be in th next patch.  As XFS was the only reason
destroy_inode was exported we shift the export to the new __destroy_inode.

54e346215e vfs: fix inode_init_always calling convention
Currently inode_init_always calls into ->destroy_inode if the additional
initialization fails.  That's not only counter-intuitive because
inode_init_always did not allocate the inode structure, but in case of
XFS it's actively harmful as ->destroy_inode might delete the inode from
a radix-tree that has never been added.  This in turn might end up
deleting the inode for the same inum that has been instanciated by
another process and cause lots of cause subtile problems.

Also in the case of re-initializing a reclaimable inode in XFS it would
free an inode we still want to keep alive.

dddac6a7b4 PM / Hibernate: Replace bdget call with simple atomic_inc of i_count
Create bdgrab().  This function copies an existing reference to a
block_device.  It is safe to call from any context.

Hibernation code wishes to copy a reference to the active swap device.
Right now it calls bdget() under a spinlock, but this is wrong because
bdget() can sleep.  It doesn't need a full bdget() because we already
hold a reference to active swap devices (and the spinlock protects
against swapoff).

This patch adds ioctls to vfs for compatibility with legacy XFS
pre-allocation ioctls (XFS_IOC_*RESVP*). The implementation
effectively invokes sys_fallocate for the new ioctls.
Also handles the compat_ioctl case.
Note: These legacy ioctls are also implemented by OCFS2.

Otherwise if ever mmap_miss wraps around to negative, it takes INT_MAX

readaround will be _enabled_ for whatever wild random workload.  That's

9fd5746fd3 fs: Remove i_cindex from struct inode
The only user of the i_cindex element in the inode structure is used
is by the firewire drivers.  As part of an attempt to slim down the
inode structure to save memory --- since a typical Linux system will
have hundreds of thousands if not millions of inodes cached, a
reduction in the size inode has high leverage.

The firewire driver does not need i_cindex in any fast path, so it's
simple enough to calculate when it is needed, instead of wasting space
in the inode structure.

5cee5815d1 vfs: Make sys_sync() use fsync_super() (version 4)
It is unnecessarily fragile to have two places (fsync_super() and do_sync())
doing data integrity sync of the filesystem. Alter __fsync_super() to
accommodate needs of both callers and use it. So after this patch
__fsync_super() is the only place where we gather all the calls needed to
properly send all data on a filesystem to disk.

Nice bonus is that we get a complete livelock avoidance and write_supers()
is now only used for periodic writeback of superblocks.

sync_blockdevs() introduced a couple of patches ago is gone now.

3be25f49b9 fsnotify: add marks to inodes so groups can interpret how to handle those inodes
This patch creates a way for fsnotify groups to attach marks to inodes.
These marks have little meaning to the generic fsnotify infrastructure
and thus their meaning should be interpreted by the group that attached
them to the inode's list.

dnotify and inotify  will make use of these markings to indicate which
inodes are of interest to their respective groups.  But this implementation
has the useful property that in the future other listeners could actually
use the marks for the exact opposite reason, aka to indicate which inodes
it had NO interest in.

As the result, it's safe to use to dispose of new superblock on ->get_sb()
failure exits - nobody will see the sucker until it's all over.
Equivalent using up_write/deactivate_super is safe for that purpose
if superblock is either	safe to use or has NULL ->s_root when we unlock.
Normally filesystems take the required precautions, but
	a) we do have bugs in that area in some of them.
	b) up_write/deactivate_super sequence is extremely common,
so the helper makes sense anyway.

a9e61e25f9 lockd: call locks_release_private to cleanup per-filesystem state
For every lock request lockd creates a new file_lock object
in nlmsvc_setgrantargs() by copying the passed in file_lock with
locks_copy_lock(). A filesystem can attach it's own lock_operations
vector to the file_lock. It has to be cleaned up at the end of the
file_lock's life. However, lockd doesn't do it today, yet it
asserts in nlmclnt_release_lockargs() that the per-filesystem
state is clean.
This patch fixes it by exporting locks_release_private() and adding
it to nlmsvc_freegrantargs(), to be symmetrical to creating a
file_lock in nlmsvc_setgrantargs().

so introduce helpers which do the conditional locking and unlocking.
Also replace the inode_double_lock() call with a pipe_double_lock()
helper to avoid spreading the use of this functionality beyond the
pipe code.

being used now, we don't want to anticipate for those.

Add a bio/request flag that informs the IO scheduler that this is a sync
request that we should not idle for. Introduce WRITE_ODIRECT specifically
for O_DIRECT writes, and make sure that the other sync writes set this
flag.

76791ab2d5 kmemtrace, fs: uninline simple_transaction_set()
Impact: cleanup

We want to remove percpu.h from rcupdate.h (for upcoming kmemtrace
changes), but this is not possible currently without breaking the
build because fs.h has an implicit include file depedency: it
uses PAGE_SIZE but does not include asm/page.h which defines it.

This problem gets masked in practice because most fs.h using sites
use rcupreempt.h (and other headers) which includes percpu.h which
brings in asm/page.h indirectly.

We cannot add asm/page.h to asm/fs.h because page.h is not an
exported header.

Move simple_transaction_set() to the other simple-transaction
file helpers in fs/libfs.c.

This removes the include file hell and also reduces
kernel size a bit.

3d544f411f kmemtrace, fs, security: move alloc_secdata() and free_secdata() to linux/security.h
Impact: cleanup

We want to remove percpu.h from rcupdate.h (for upcoming kmemtrace
changes), but this is not possible currently without breaking the
build because fs.h has implicit include file depedencies: it uses
GFP_* types in inlines but does not include gfp.h.

In practice most fs.h using .c files get gfp.h included implicitly,
via an indirect route: via rcupdate.h inclusion - so this underlying
problem gets masked in practice.

So we want to solve fs.h's dependency on gfp.h.

gfp.h can not be included here directly because it is not exported and it
would break the build the following way:

  /home/mingo/tip/usr/include/linux/bsg.h:11: found __[us]{8,16,32,64} type without #include <linux/types.h>
  /home/mingo/tip/usr/include/linux/fs.h:11: included file 'linux/gfp.h' is not exported
  make[3]: *** [/home/mingo/tip/usr/include/linux/.check] Error 1
  make[2]: *** [linux] Error 2

As suggested by Alexey Dobriyan, move alloc_secdata() and free_secdata()
to linux/security.h - they belong there. This also cleans fs.h of GFP_*
usage.

c2d7543851 filesystem freeze: allow SysRq emergency thaw to thaw frozen filesystems
Now that the filesystem freeze operation has been elevated to the VFS, and
is just an ioctl away, some sort of safety net for unintentionally frozen
root filesystems may be in order.

The timeout thaw originally proposed did not get merged, but perhaps
something like this would be useful in emergencies.

For example, freeze /path/to/mountpoint may freeze your root filesystem if
you forgot that you had that unmounted.

I chose 'j' as the last remaining character other than 'h' which is sort
of reserved for help (because help is generated on any unknown character).

I've tested this on a non-root fs with multiple (nested) freezers, as well
as on a system rendered unresponsive due to a frozen root fs.

a3ec947c85 vfs: simple_set_mnt() should return void
simple_set_mnt() is defined as returning 'int' but always returns 0.
Callers assume simple_set_mnt() never fails and don't properly cleanup if
it were to _ever_ fail.  For instance, get_sb_single() and get_sb_nodev()
should:

        up_write(sb->s_unmount);
        deactivate_super(sb);

if simple_set_mnt() fails.

Since simple_set_mnt() never fails, would be cleaner if it did not
return anything.

c4be0c1dc4 filesystem freeze: add error handling of write_super_lockfs/unlockfs
Currently, ext3 in mainline Linux doesn't have the freeze feature which
suspends write requests.  So, we cannot take a backup which keeps the
filesystem's consistency with the storage device's features (snapshot and
replication) while it is mounted.

In many case, a commercial filesystem (e.g.  VxFS) has the freeze feature
and it would be used to get the consistent backup.

If Linux's standard filesystem ext3 has the freeze feature, we can do it
without a commercial filesystem.

So I have implemented the ioctls of the freeze feature.
I think we can take the consistent backup with the following steps.
1. Freeze the filesystem with the freeze ioctl.
2. Separate the replication volume or create the snapshot
   with the storage device's feature.
3. Unfreeze the filesystem with the unfreeze ioctl.
4. Take the backup from the separated replication volume
   or the snapshot.

This patch:

VFS:
Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void"
to "int" so that they can return an error.
Rename write_super_lockfs and unlockfs of the super block operation
freeze_fs and unfreeze_fs to avoid a confusion.

ext3, ext4, xfs, gfs2, jfs:
Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void"
to "int" so that write_super_lockfs returns an error if needed,
and unlockfs always returns 0.

reiserfs:
Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void"
to "int" so that they always return 0 (success) to keep a current behavior.

4c728ef583 add a vfs_fsync helper
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

e9079cce20 GFS2: Support for FIEMAP ioctl
This patch implements the FIEMAP ioctl for GFS2. We can use the generic
code (aside from a lock order issue, solved as per Ted Tso's suggestion)
for which I've introduced a new variant of the generic function. We also
have one exception to deal with, namely stuffed files, so we do that
"by hand", setting all the required flags.

This has been tested with a modified (I could only find an old version) of
Eric's test program, and appears to work correctly.

This patch does not currently support FIEMAP of xattrs, but the plan is to add
that feature at some future point.

54566b2c15 fs: symlink write_begin allocation context fix
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).

261bca86ed nfsd/create race fixes, infrastructure
new helpers - insert_inode_locked() and insert_inode_locked4().
Hash new inode, making sure that there's no such inode in icache
already.  If there is and it does not end up unhashed (as would
happen if we have nfsd trying to resolve a bogus fhandle), fail.
Otherwise insert our inode into hash and succeed.

In either case have i_state set to new+locked; cleanup ends up
being simpler with such calling conventions.

Instead of doing directly assignment of file operations that set an

in the normal file operations.

(addition of the generic VFS flag has been ACKed by Al as an interims

8290c35f87 Inode: Allow external list initialisation
To allow XFS to combine the XFS and linux inodes into a single
structure, we need to drive inode lookup from the XFS inode cache,
not the generic inode cache. This means that we need initialise a
struct inode from a context outside alloc_inode() as it is no longer
used by XFS.

After inode allocation and initialisation, we need to add the inode
to the superblock list, the in-use list, hash it and do some
accounting. This all needs to be done with the inode_lock held and
there are already several places in fs/inode.c that do this list
manipulation.  Factor out the common code, add a locking wrapper and
export the function so ti can be called from XFS.

f696a3659f [PATCH] move executable checking into ->permission()
For execute permission on a regular files we need to check if file has
any execute bits at all, regardless of capabilites.

This check is normally performed by generic_permission() but was also
added to the case when the filesystem defines its own ->permission()
method.  In the latter case the filesystem should be responsible for
performing this check.

Move the check from inode_permission() inside filesystems which are
not calling generic_permission().

Create a helper function execute_ok() that returns true if the inode
is a directory or if any execute bits are present in i_mode.

Also fix up the following code:

 - coda control file is never executable
 - sysctl files are never executable
 - hfs_permission seems broken on MAY_EXEC, remove
 - hfsplus_permission is eqivalent to generic_permission(), remove
