When we have multiple buffers in a single page for a blocksize == pagesize
filesystem we might overwrite the page contents if two callers hit it
shortly after each other. To prevent that we need to keep the page locked
until I/O is completed and the page marked uptodate.
Thanks to Eric Sandeen for triaging this bug and finding a reproducible
testcase and Dave Chinner for additional advice.
This should fix kernel.org bz #10421.

Compiling ppc64_defconfig with gcc 4.3 gives thes warnings:
arch/powerpc/sysdev/mpic.c: In function 'mpic_irq_get_priority':
arch/powerpc/sysdev/mpic.c:1351: warning: 'is_ipi' may be used uninitialized in this function
arch/powerpc/sysdev/mpic.c: In function 'mpic_irq_set_priority':
arch/powerpc/sysdev/mpic.c:1328: warning: 'is_ipi' may be used uninitialized in this function
It turns out that in the cases where is_ipi is uninitialized, another
variable (mpic) will be NULL and it is dereferenced. Protect against
this by returning if mpic is NULL in mpic_irq_set_priority, and removing
mpic_irq_get_priority completely as it has no in tree callers.
This has the nice side effect of making the warning go away.

We only need to allocate space for the number of inodes in the cluster
when writing back inodes, not every byte in the inode cluster. This
reduces the amount of memory needing to be allocated to 256 bytes instead
of 64k.

writeback
If we allow memory reclaim to wait on the pages under writeback in inode
cluster writeback we could deadlock because we are currently holding the
ILOCK on the initial writeback inode which is needed in data I/O
completion to change the file size or do unwritten extent conversion
before the pages are taken out of writeback state.

xfs_fsync() fails to wait for data I/O completion before checking if the
inode is dirty or clean to decide whether to log the inode or not. This
misses inode size updates when the data flushed by the fsync() is
extending the file.
Hence, like fdatasync(), we need to wait for I/o completion first, then
check the inode for cleanliness. Doing so makes the behaviour of
xfs_fsync() identical for fsync and fdatasync and we *always* use
synchronous semantics if the inode is dirty. Therefore also kill the
differences and remove the unused flags from the xfs_fsync function and
callers.

On kvm I have seen some rare hangs in stop_machine when I used more guest
cpus than hosts cpus. e.g. 32 guest cpus on 1 host cpu triggered the
hang quite often. I could also reproduce the problem on a 4 way z/VM host with
a 64 way guest.
It turned out that the guest was consuming all available cpus mostly for
spinning on scheduler locks like rq->lock. This is expected as the threads are
calling yield all the time.
The problem is now, that the host scheduling decisings together with the guest
scheduling decisions and spinlocks not being fair managed to create an
interesting scenario similar to a live lock. (Sometimes the hang resolved
itself after some minutes)
Changing stop_machine to yield the cpu to the hypervisor when yielding inside
the guest fixed the problem for me. While I am not completely happy with this
patch, I think it causes no harm and it really improves the situation for me.
I used cpu_relax for yielding to the hypervisor, does that work on all
architectures?
p.s.: If you want to reproduce the problem, cpu hotplug and kprobes use
stop_machine_run and both triggered the problem after some retries.

The offset to the pt_regs area was wrong, so we weren't
looking at the right location for the magic cookie.
A trap frame is composed of a "struct sparc_stackf" then
a "struct pt_regs", the code was using "struct reg_window"
instead of "struct sparc_stackf".

Because of the silly way I set up the initial stack for
new kernel threads, there is a loop at the top of the
stack.
To fix this, properly add another stack frame that is copied
from the parent and terminate it in the child by setting
the frame pointer in that frame to zero.
