It is possible to run dput without taking data structure locks up-front. In
many cases where we don't kill the dentry anyway, these locks are not required.

Long lived dcache "multi-step" operations which retry on rename seq can
be starved with a lot of rename activity. If they fail after the 1st pass,
take the rename_lock for writing to avoid further starvation.
Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>
The remaining usages for dcache_lock is to allow atomic, multi-step read-side
operations over the directory tree by excluding modifications to the tree.
Also, to walk in the leaf->root direction in the tree where we don't have
a natural d_lock ordering.
This could be accomplished by taking every d_lock, but this would mean a
huge number of locks and actually gets very tricky.
Solve this instead by using the rename seqlock for multi-step read-side
operations, retry in case of a rename so we don't walk up the wrong parent.
Concurrent dentry insertions are not serialised against. Concurrent deletes
are tricky when walking up the directory: our parent might have been deleted
when dropping locks so also need to check and retry for that.
We can also use the rename lock in cases where livelock is a worry (and it
is introduced in subsequent patch).

Protect d_subdirs and d_child with d_lock, except in filesystems that aren't
using dcache_lock for these anyway (eg. using i_mutex).
Note: if we change the locking rule in future so that ->d_child protection is
provided only with ->d_parent->d_lock, it may allow us to reduce some locking.
But it would be an exception to an otherwise regular locking scheme, so we'd
have to see some good results. Probably not worthwhile.

Remove dcache_lock locking from hostfs filesystem, and move it into dcache

Change d_compare so it may be called from lock-free RCU lookups. This
does put significant restrictions on what may be done from the callback,
however there don't seem to have been any problems with in-tree fses.
If some strange use case pops up that _really_ cannot cope with the
rcu-walk rules, we can just add new rcu-unaware callbacks, which would
cause name lookup to drop out of rcu-walk mode.

Change d_delete from a dentry deletion notification to a dentry caching
advise, more like ->drop_inode. Require it to be constant and idempotent,
and not take d_lock. This is how all existing filesystems use the callback
anyway.
This makes fine grained dentry locking of dput and dentry lru scanning
much simpler.
Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>
Switching d_op on a live dentry is racy in general, so avoid it. In this case
it is a negative dentry, which is safer, but there are still concurrent ops
which may be called on d_op in that case (eg. d_revalidate). So in general
a filesystem may not do this. Fix configfs so as not to do this.

The nr_unused counters count the number of objects on an LRU, and as such they
are synchronized with LRU object insertion and removal and scanning, and
protected under the LRU lock.
Making it per-cpu does not actually get any concurrency improvements because of
this lock, and summing the counter is much slower, and
incrementing/decrementing it costs more code size and is slower too.
These counters should stay per-LRU, which currently means global.

d_validate has been broken for a long time.
kmem_ptr_validate does not guarantee that a pointer can be dereferenced
if it can go away at any time. Even rcu_read_lock doesn't help, because
the pointer might be queued in RCU callbacks but not executed yet.
So the parent cannot be checked, nor the name hashed. The dentry pointer
can not be touched until it can be verified under lock. Hashing simply
cannot be used.
Instead, verify the parent/child relationship by traversing parent's
d_child list. It's slow, but only ncpfs and the destaged smbfs care
about it, at this point.

This happens when __logfs_create() tries to write a new inode to the disk
which is full.
__logfs_create() associates the transaction pointer with inode. During
the logfs_write_inode() function call chain this transaction pointer is
moved from inode to page->private using function move_inode_to_page
(do_write_inode() -> inode_to_page() -> move_inode_to_page)
When the write inode fails, the transaction is aborted and iput is called
on the failed inode. During delete_inode the same transaction pointer
associated with the page is getting used. Thus causing kernel BUG.
The patch checks for error in write_inode() and restores the page->private
to NULL.

On 2.6.37-rc1, garbage collection ioctl of nilfs was broken due to the
commit 263d90cefc ("nilfs2: remove own inode hash used for GC"),
and leading to filesystem corruption.
The patch doesn't queue gc-inodes for log writer if they are reused
through the vfs inode cache. Here, gc-inode is the inode which
buffers blocks to be relocated on GC. That patch queues gc-inodes in
nilfs_init_gcinode() function, but this function is not called when
they don't have I_NEW flag. Thus, some of live blocks are wrongly
overrode without being moved to new logs.
This resolves the problem by moving the gc-inode queueing to an outer
function to ensure it's done right.

Jon Nelson has found a test case which causes postgresql to fail with
the error:
psql:t.sql:4: ERROR: invalid page header in block 38269 of relation base/16384/16581
Under memory pressure, it looks like part of a file can end up getting
replaced by zero's. Until we can figure out the cause, we'll roll
back the change and use block_write_full_page() instead of
ext4_bio_write_page(). The new, more efficient writing function can
be used via the mount option mblk_io_submit, so we can test and fix
the new page I/O code.
To reproduce the problem, install postgres 8.4 or 9.0, and pin enough
memory such that the system just at the end of triggering writeback
before running the following sql script:
begin;
create temporary table foo as select x as a, ARRAY[x] as b FROM
generate_series(1, 10000000 ) AS x;
create index foo_a_idx on foo (a);
create index foo_b_idx on foo USING GIN (b);
rollback;
If the temporary table is created on a hard drive partition which is
encrypted using dm_crypt, then under memory pressure, approximately
30-40% of the time, pgsql will issue the above failure.
This patch should fix this problem, and the problem will come back if
the file system is mounted with the mblk_io_submit mount option.
