05990d1bf2 NFS: Fix fdatasync/fsync() when confronted with a server reboot
If the server reboots before it can commit the unstable writes to disk,
then nfs_commit_release_pages() will detect this when it compares the
verifier returned by COMMIT to the one returned by WRITE. When this
happens, the client needs to resend those writes in order to guarantee
that they make it to stable storage.

This patch adds a signalling mechanism to notify fsync() that it
needs to retry all writes before it can exit.

2a369153c8 NFS: Clean up helper function nfs4_select_rw_stateid()
We want to be able to pass on the information that the page was not
dirtied under a lock. Instead of adding a flag parameter, do this
by passing a pointer to a 'struct nfs_lock_owner' that may be NULL.

Also reuse this structure in struct nfs_lock_context to carry the
fl_owner_t and pid_t.

192e501b04 nfs: prevent page allocator recursions with swap over NFS.
GFP_NOFS is _more_ permissive than GFP_NOIO in that it will initiate IO,
just not of any filesystem data.

The problem is that previously NOFS was correct because that avoids
recursion into the NFS code.  With swap-over-NFS, it is no longer correct
as swap IO can lead to this recursion.

29418aa4bd nfs: disable data cache revalidation for swapfiles
The VM does not like PG_private set on PG_swapcache pages.  As suggested
by Trond in http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/8/25/348, this patch disables NFS
data cache revalidation on swap files.  as it does not make sense to have
other clients change the file while it is being used as swap.  This avoids
setting PG_private on swap pages, since there ought to be no further races
with invalidate_inode_pages2() to deal with.

Since we cannot set PG_private we cannot use page->private which is
already used by PG_swapcache pages to store the nfs_page.  Thus augment
the new nfs_page_find_request logic.

3aff4ebb95 NFS: Prevent a deadlock in the new writeback code
We have to unlock the nfs_page before we call nfs_end_page_writeback
to avoid races with functions that expect the page to be unlocked
when PG_locked and PG_writeback are not set.
The problem is that nfs_unlock_request also releases the nfs_page,
causing a deadlock if the release of the nfs_open_context
triggers an iput() while the PG_writeback flag is still set...

The solution is to separate the unlocking and release of the nfs_page,
so that we can do the former before nfs_end_page_writeback and the
latter after.

Decouple nfs_pgio_header and nfs_write_data, and have (possibly
multiple) nfs_write_datas each take a refcount on nfs_pgio_header.

For the moment keeps nfs_write_header as a way to preallocate a single
nfs_write_data with the nfs_pgio_header.  The code doesn't need this,
and would be prettier without, but given the amount of churn I am
already introducing I didn't want to play with tuning new mempools.

This also fixes bug in pnfs_ld_handle_write_error.  In the case of
desc->pg_bsize < PAGE_CACHE_SIZE, the pages list was empty, causing

cd841605f7 NFS: create common nfs_pgio_header for both read and write
In order to avoid duplicating all the data in nfs_read_data whenever we
split it up into multiple RPC calls (either due to a short read result
or due to rsize < PAGE_SIZE), we split out the bits that are the same
per RPC call into a separate "header" structure.

The goal this patch moves towards is to have a single header
refcounted by several rpc_data structures.  Thus, want to always refer
from rpc_data to the header, and not the other way.  This patch comes
close to that ideal, but the directio code currently needs some
special casing, isolated in the nfs_direct_[read_write]hdr_release()
functions.  This will be dealt with in a future patch.

8dd3775889 NFSv4.1: Clean ups and bugfixes for the pNFS read/writeback/commit code
Move more pnfs-isms out of the generic commit code.

Bugfixes:

- filelayout_scan_commit_lists doesn't need to get/put the lseg.
  In fact since it is run under the inode->i_lock, the lseg_put()
  can deadlock.

- Ensure that we distinguish between what needs to be done for
  commit-to-data server and what needs to be done for commit-to-MDS
  using the new flag PG_COMMIT_TO_DS. Otherwise we may end up calling
  put_lseg() on a bucket for a struct nfs_page that got written
  through the MDS.

- Fix a case where we were using list_del() on an nfs_page->wb_list
  instead of list_del_init().

- filelayout_initiate_commit needs to call filelayout_commit_release
  on error instead of the mds_ops->rpc_release(). Otherwise it won't
  clear the commit lock.

Cleanups:

- Let the files layout manage the commit lists for the pNFS case.
  Don't expose stuff like pnfs_choose_commit_list, and the fact
  that the commit buckets hold references to the layout segment
  in common code.

- Cast out the put_lseg() calls for the struct nfs_read/write_data->lseg
  into the pNFS layer from whence they came.

- Let the pNFS layer manage the NFS_INO_PNFS_COMMIT bit.

d6d6dc7cdf NFS: remove nfs_inode radix tree
The radix tree is only being used to compile lists of reqs needing commit.
It is simpler to just put the reqs directly into a list.

a6bc32b899 mm: compaction: introduce sync-light migration for use by compaction
This patch adds a lightweight sync migrate operation MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT
mode that avoids writing back pages to backing storage.  Async compaction
maps to MIGRATE_ASYNC while sync compaction maps to MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT.
For other migrate_pages users such as memory hotplug, MIGRATE_SYNC is
used.

This avoids sync compaction stalling for an excessive length of time,
particularly when copying files to a USB stick where there might be a
large number of dirty pages backed by a filesystem that does not support
->writepages.

[aarcange@redhat.com: This patch is heavily based on Andrea's work]

b969c4ab9f mm: compaction: determine if dirty pages can be migrated without blocking within ->migratepage
Asynchronous compaction is used when allocating transparent hugepages to
avoid blocking for long periods of time.  Due to reports of stalling,
there was a debate on disabling synchronous compaction but this severely
impacted allocation success rates.  Part of the reason was that many dirty
pages are skipped in asynchronous compaction by the following check;

	if (PageDirty(page) && !sync &&
		mapping->a_ops->migratepage != migrate_page)
			rc = -EBUSY;

This skips over all mapping aops using buffer_migrate_page() even though
it is possible to migrate some of these pages without blocking.  This
patch updates the ->migratepage callback with a "sync" parameter.  It is
the responsibility of the callback to fail gracefully if migration would
block.
