Remove the attempt to cancel a running scrub or device replace
operation in btrfs_handle_error() because it adds the risk of
a deadlock. The only penalty of not canceling the operation is
that some I/O remains active until the procedure completes.
This is basically the same thing that happens to other tasks
that are running in user mode context, they are not affected
or stopped in btrfs_handle_error(), these tasks just need to
handle write errors correctly.

are doing. But in the future, new code could benefit from these
two new functions, and currently, device replace uses them.

With the modified design (in order to support the devive replace
procedure) it is necessary to alloc the page array dynamically.
The reason is that pages are reused. At first a page is used for
the bio to read the data from the filesystem, then the same page
is reused for the bio that writes the data to the target disk.
Since the read process and the write process are completely
decoupled, this requires a new concept of refcounts and get/put
functions for pages, and it requires to use newly created pages
for each read bio which are freed after the write operation
is finished.

The block device is removed from the scrub context state structure.
The scrub code as it is used for the device replace procedure reads
the source data from whereever it is optimal. The source device might
even be gone (disconnected, for instance due to a hardware failure).
Or the drive can be so faulty so that the device replace procedure
tries to avoid access to the faulty source drive as much as possible,
and only if all other mirrors are damaged, as a last resort, the
source disk is accessed.
The modified scrub code operates as if it would handle the source
drive and thereby generates an exact copy of the source disk on the
target disk, even if the source disk is not present at all. Therefore
the block device pointer to the source disk is removed in the scrub
context struct and moved into the lower level scope of scrub_bio,
fixup and page structures where the block device context is known.

The device replace procedure makes use of the scrub code. The scrub
code is the most efficient code to read the allocated data of a disk,
i.e. it reads sequentially in order to avoid disk head movements, it
skips unallocated blocks, it uses read ahead mechanisms, and it
contains all the code to detect and repair defects.
This commit is a first preparation step to adapt the scrub code to
be shareable for the device replace procedure.
The block device will be removed from the scrub context state
structure in a later step. It used to be the source block device.
The scrub code as it is used for the device replace procedure reads
the source data from whereever it is optimal. The source device might
even be gone (disconnected, for instance due to a hardware failure).
Or the drive can be so faulty so that the device replace procedure
tries to avoid access to the faulty source drive as much as possible,
and only if all other mirrors are damaged, as a last resort, the
source disk is accessed.
The modified scrub code operates as if it would handle the source
drive and thereby generates an exact copy of the source disk on the
target disk, even if the source disk is not present at all. Therefore
the block device pointer to the source disk is removed in a later
patch, and therefore the context structure is renamed (this is the
goal of the current patch) to reflect that no source block device
scope is there anymore.
Summary:
This first preparation step consists of a textual substitution of the
term "dev" to the term "ctx" whereever the scrub context is used.

The current behavior is to allow mounting or remounting a filesystem
writeable in degraded mode if at least one writeable device is
present.
The next failed write access to a missing device which is above
the tolerance of the configured level of redundancy results in an
read-only enforcement. Even without this, the next time
barrier_all_devices() is called and more devices are missing than
tolerable, the switch to read-only mode takes place.
In order to behave predictably and to provide proper feedback to
the user at mount time, this patch compares the number of missing
devices with the number of devices that are tolerated to be missing
according to the configured RAID level. If more devices are missing
than tolerated, e.g. if two devices are missing in case of RAID1,
only a read-only mount and remount is allowed.

Currently, when an RPCSEC_GSS context has expired or is non-existent
and the users (Kerberos) credentials have also expired or are non-existent,
the client receives the -EKEYEXPIRED error and tries to refresh the context
forever. If an application is performing I/O, or other work against the share,
the application hangs, and the user is not prompted to refresh/establish their
credentials. This can result in a denial of service for other users.
Users are expected to manage their Kerberos credential lifetimes to mitigate
this issue.

literally shared branch pulled by both, not a cherry-pick.
A lot of ugliness and black magic is gone (-3KLoC total in this one):
- kernel_thread()/kernel_execve()/sys_execve() redesign.
We don't do syscalls from kernel anymore for either kernel_thread()
or kernel_execve():
kernel_thread() is essentially clone(2) with callback run before we
return to userland, the callbacks either never return or do
successful do_execve() before returning.
kernel_execve() is a wrapper for do_execve() - it doesn't need to
do transition to user mode anymore.
As a result kernel_thread() and kernel_execve() are
arch-independent now - they live in kernel/fork.c and fs/exec.c
resp. sys_execve() is also in fs/exec.c and it's completely
architecture-independent.
- daemonize() is gone, along with its parts in fs/*.c
- struct pt_regs * is no longer passed to do_fork/copy_process/

The NFS DIO code will dirty pages that catch read responses in order to
handle the case where someone is doing DIO reads into an mmapped buffer.
The existing code doesn't really do the right thing though since it
doesn't take into account the case where we might be attempting to read
past the EOF.
Fix the logic in that code to only dirty pages that ended up receiving
data from the read. Note too that it really doesn't matter if
NFS_IOHDR_ERROR is set or not. All that matters is if the page was
altered by the read.

Eryu provided a test program that would segfault when attempting to read
past the EOF on file that was opened O_DIRECT. The buffer given to the
read() call was on the stack, and when he attempted to read past it it
would scribble over the rest of the stack page.
If we hit the end of the file on a DIO READ request, then we don't want
to zero out the rest of the buffer. These aren't pagecache pages after
all, and there's no guarantee that the buffers that were passed in
represent entire pages.

Memory fragmentation introduced by ballooning might reduce significantly
the number of 2MB contiguous memory blocks that can be used within a
guest, thus imposing performance penalties associated with the reduced
number of transparent huge pages that could be used by the guest workload.
This patch-set follows the main idea discussed at 2012 LSFMMS session:
"Ballooning for transparent huge pages" -- http://lwn.net/Articles/490114/
to introduce the required changes to the virtio_balloon driver, as well as
the changes to the core compaction & migration bits, in order to make
those subsystems aware of ballooned pages and allow memory balloon pages
become movable within a guest, thus avoiding the aforementioned
fragmentation issue
Following are numbers that prove this patch benefits on allowing
compaction to be more effective at memory ballooned guests.
Results for STRESS-HIGHALLOC benchmark, from Mel Gorman's mmtests suite,
running on a 4gB RAM KVM guest which was ballooning 512mB RAM in 64mB
chunks, at every minute (inflating/deflating), while test was running:

This patch:
Introduce MIGRATEPAGE_SUCCESS as the default return code for
address_space_operations.migratepage() method and documents the expected
return code for the same method in failure cases.
