f95cbb44ab gfs2: use iomap_readpage for blocksize == PAGE_SIZE
We only use iomap_readpage for pages that don't have buffer heads
attached yet: iomap_readpage would otherwise read pages from disk that
are marked buffer_uptodate() but not PageUptodate().  Those pages may
actually contain data more recent than what's on disk.

64bc06bb32 gfs2: iomap buffered write support
With the traditional page-based writes, blocks are allocated separately
for each page written to.  With iomap writes, we can allocate a lot more
blocks at once, with a fraction of the allocation overhead for each
page.

Split calculating the number of blocks that can be allocated at a given
position (gfs2_alloc_size) off from gfs2_iomap_alloc: that size
determines the number of blocks to allocate and reserve in the journal.

845802b112 gfs2: Remove ordered write mode handling from gfs2_trans_add_data
In journaled data mode, we need to add each buffer head to the current
transaction.  In ordered write mode, we only need to add the inode to
the ordered inode list.  So far, both cases are handled in
gfs2_trans_add_data.  This makes the code look misleading and is
inefficient for small block sizes as well.  Handle both cases separately
instead.

7b5747f43f GFS2: Fix allocation error bug with recursive rgrp glocking
Before this patch function gfs2_write_begin, upon discovering an
error, called gfs2_trim_blocks while the rgrp glock was still held.
That's because gfs2_inplace_release is not called until later.
This patch reorganizes the logic a bit so gfs2_inplace_release
is called to release the lock prior to the call to gfs2_trim_blocks,
thus preventing the glock recursion.

8667982014 mm, pagevec: remove cold parameter for pagevecs
Every pagevec_init user claims the pages being released are hot even in
cases where it is unlikely the pages are hot.  As no one cares about the
hotness of pages being released to the allocator, just ditch the
parameter.

No performance impact is expected as the overhead is marginal.  The
parameter is removed simply because it is a bit stupid to have a useless
parameter copied everywhere.

b066a4eebd gfs2: forcibly flush ail to relieve memory pressure
On systems with low memory, it is possible for gfs2 to infinitely
loop in balance_dirty_pages() under heavy IO (creating sparse files).

balance_dirty_pages() attempts to write out the dirty pages via
gfs2_writepages() but none are found because these dirty pages are
being used by the journaling code in the ail. Normally, the journal
has an upper threshold which when hit triggers an automatic flush
of the ail. But this threshold can be higher than the number of
allowable dirty pages and result in the ail never being flushed.

This patch forces an ail flush when gfs2_writepages() fails to write
anything. This is a good indication that the ail might be holding
some dirty pages.

43388b21e7 fix gfs2_stuffed_write_end() on short copies
a) the page is uptodate - ->write_begin() would either fail (in which
case we don't reach ->write_end()), or unstuff the inode, or find the
page already uptodate, or do a successful call of stuffed_readpage(),
which would've made it uptodate

b) zeroing the tail in pagecache is wrong.  kill -9 at the right time
while writing unmodified file contents to the same file should _not_
leave us in a situation when read() from the file will be reporting
it full of zeroes.  Especially since that effect will be transient -
at some later point the page will be evicted and then we'll be back
to the real file contents.

fd4c5748b8 gfs2: writeout truncated pages
When gfs2 attempts to write a page to a file that is being truncated,
and notices that the page is completely outside of the file size, it
tries to invalidate it.  However, this may require a transaction for
journaled data files to revoke any buffers from the page on the active
items list. Unfortunately, this can happen inside a log flush, where a
transaction cannot be started. Also, gfs2 may need to be able to remove
the buffer from the ail1 list before it can finish the log flush.

To deal with this, when writing a page of a file with data journalling
enabled gfs2 now skips the check to see if the write is outside the file
size, and simply writes it anyway. This situation can only occur when
the truncate code still has the file locked exclusively, and hasn't
marked this block as free in the metadata (which happens later in
truc_dealloc).  After gfs2 writes this page out, the truncation code
will shortly invalidate it and write out any revokes if necessary.

To do this, gfs2 now implements its own version of block_write_full_page
without the check, and calls the newly exported __block_write_full_page.
It also no longer calls gfs2_writepage_common from gfs2_jdata_writepage.

09cbfeaf1a mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macros
PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.

This promise never materialized.  And unlikely will.

We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE.  And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.

Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.

Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special.  They are
not.

The changes are pretty straight-forward:

 - <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;

 - <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;

 - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};

 - page_cache_get() -> get_page();

 - page_cache_release() -> put_page();

This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below.  For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.

The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.

There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach.  I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch.  Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

Thus, the write at offset 0x67e00 was calculating lstart to be
0xe00, the address of our corruption. Instead, it should have been
0x67000. This patch fixes the calculation.

b54e9a0b92 GFS2: Extract quota data from reservations structure (revert 5407e24)
This patch basically reverts the majority of patch 5407e24.
That patch eliminated the gfs2_qadata structure in favor of just
using the reservations structure. The problem with doing that is that
it increases the size of the reservations structure. That is not an
issue until it comes time to fold the reservations structure into the
inode in memory so we know it's always there. By separating out the
quota structure again, we aren't punishing the non-quota users by
making all the inodes bigger, requiring more slab space. This patch
creates a new slab area to allocate the quota stuff so it's managed
a little more sanely.

b8fbf471ed gfs2: perform quota checks against allocation parameters
Use struct gfs2_alloc_parms as an argument to gfs2_quota_check()
and gfs2_quota_lock_check() to check for quota violations while
accounting for the new blocks requested by the current operation
in ap->target.

Previously, the number of new blocks requested during an operation
were not accounted for during quota_check and would allow these
operations to exceed quota. This was not very apparent since most
operations allocated only 1 block at a time and quotas would get
violated in the next operation. i.e. quota excess would only be by
1 block or so. With fallocate, (where we allocate a bunch of blocks
at once) the quota excess is non-trivial and is addressed by this
patch.

2457aec637 mm: non-atomically mark page accessed during page cache allocation where possible
aops->write_begin may allocate a new page and make it visible only to have
mark_page_accessed called almost immediately after.  Once the page is
visible the atomic operations are necessary which is noticable overhead
when writing to an in-memory filesystem like tmpfs but should also be
noticable with fast storage.  The objective of the patch is to initialse
the accessed information with non-atomic operations before the page is
visible.

The bulk of filesystems directly or indirectly use
grab_cache_page_write_begin or find_or_create_page for the initial
allocation of a page cache page.  This patch adds an init_page_accessed()
helper which behaves like the first call to mark_page_accessed() but may
called before the page is visible and can be done non-atomically.

The primary APIs of concern in this care are the following and are used
by most filesystems.

	find_get_page
	find_lock_page
	find_or_create_page
	grab_cache_page_nowait
	grab_cache_page_write_begin

All of them are very similar in detail to the patch creates a core helper
pagecache_get_page() which takes a flags parameter that affects its
behavior such as whether the page should be marked accessed or not.  Then
old API is preserved but is basically a thin wrapper around this core
function.

Each of the filesystems are then updated to avoid calling
mark_page_accessed when it is known that the VM interfaces have already
done the job.  There is a slight snag in that the timing of the
mark_page_accessed() has now changed so in rare cases it's possible a page
gets to the end of the LRU as PageReferenced where as previously it might
have been repromoted.  This is expected to be rare but it's worth the
filesystem people thinking about it in case they see a problem with the
timing change.  It is also the case that some filesystems may be marking
pages accessed that previously did not but it makes sense that filesystems
have consistent behaviour in this regard.

The test case used to evaulate this is a simple dd of a large file done
multiple times with the file deleted on each iterations.  The size of the
file is 1/10th physical memory to avoid dirty page balancing.  In the
async case it will be possible that the workload completes without even
hitting the disk and will have variable results but highlight the impact
of mark_page_accessed for async IO.  The sync results are expected to be
more stable.  The exception is tmpfs where the normal case is for the "IO"
to not hit the disk.

The test machine was single socket and UMA to avoid any scheduling or NUMA
artifacts.  Throughput and wall times are presented for sync IO, only wall
times are shown for async as the granularity reported by dd and the
variability is unsuitable for comparison.  As async results were variable
do to writback timings, I'm only reporting the maximum figures.  The sync
results were stable enough to make the mean and stddev uninteresting.

The performance results are reported based on a run with no profiling.
Profile data is based on a separate run with oprofile running.

24972557b1 GFS2: remove transaction glock
GFS2 has a transaction glock, which must be grabbed for every
transaction, whose purpose is to deal with freezing the filesystem.
Aside from this involving a large amount of locking, it is very easy to
make the current fsfreeze code hang on unfreezing.

This patch rewrites how gfs2 handles freezing the filesystem. The
transaction glock is removed. In it's place is a freeze glock, which is
cached (but not held) in a shared state by every node in the cluster
when the filesystem is mounted. This lock only needs to be grabbed on
freezing, and actions which need to be safe from freezing, like
recovery.

When a node wants to freeze the filesystem, it grabs this glock
exclusively.  When the freeze glock state changes on the nodes (either
from shared to unlocked, or shared to exclusive), the filesystem does a
special log flush.  gfs2_log_flush() does all the work for flushing out
the and shutting down the incore log, and then it tries to grab the
freeze glock in a shared state again.  Since the filesystem is stuck in
gfs2_log_flush, no new transaction can start, and nothing can be written
to disk. Unfreezing the filesytem simply involes dropping the freeze
glock, allowing gfs2_log_flush() to grab and then release the shared
lock, so it is cached for next time.

However, in order for the unfreezing ioctl to occur, gfs2 needs to get a
shared lock on the filesystem root directory inode to check permissions.
If that glock has already been grabbed exclusively, fsfreeze will be
unable to get the shared lock and unfreeze the filesystem.

In order to allow the unfreeze, this patch makes gfs2 grab a shared lock
on the filesystem root directory during the freeze, and hold it until it
unfreezes the filesystem.  The functions which need to grab a shared
lock in order to allow the unfreeze ioctl to be issued now use the lock
grabbed by the freeze code instead.

The freeze and unfreeze code take care to make sure that this shared
lock will not be dropped while another process is using it.

774016b2d4 GFS2: journal data writepages update
GFS2 has carried what is more or less a copy of the
write_cache_pages() for some time. It seems that this
copy has slipped behind the core code over time. This
patch brings it back uptodate, and in addition adds the
tracepoint which would otherwise be missing.

We could go further, and eliminate some or all of the
code duplication here. The issue is that if we do that,
then the function we need to split out from the existing
write_cache_pages(), which will look a lot like
gfs2_jdata_write_pagevec(), would land up putting quite a
lot of extra variables on the stack. I know that has been
a problem in the past in the writeback code path, which
is why I've hesitated to do it here.

086352f1aa GFS2: No need to invalidate pages for a dio read
We recently fixed the writeback of pages prior to performing
direct i/o, however the initial fix was perhaps a bit heavy
handed. There is no need to invalidate pages if the direct i/o
is only a read, since they will be identical to what has been
flushed to disk anyway.
