8c85e12512 remove ->write_super call in generic_shutdown_super
We just did a full fs writeout using sync_filesystem before, and if
that's not enough for the filesystem it can perform it's own writeout
in ->put_super, which many filesystems already do.

Move a call to foofs_write_super into every foofs_put_super for now to
guarantee identical behaviour until it's cleaned up by the individual
filesystem maintainers.

Exceptions:

 - affs already has identical copy & pasted code at the beginning of
   affs_put_super so no need to do it twice.
 - xfs does the right thing without it and I have changes pending for
   the xfs tree touching this are so I don't really need conflicts
   here..

c3f8a40c1c quota: Introduce writeout_quota_sb() (version 4)

850b201b08 quota: cleanup dquota sync functions (version 4)
Currently the VFS calls vfs_dq_sync to sync out disk quotas for a given
superblock.  This is a small wrapper around sync_dquots which for the
case of a non-NULL superblock is a small wrapper around quota_sync_sb.

Just make quota_sync_sb global (rename it to sync_quota_sb) and call it
directly.  Also call it directly for those cases in quota.c that have a
superblock and leave sync_dquots purely an iterator over sync_quota_sb and
remove it's superblock argument.

To make this nicer move the check for the lack of a quota_sync method
from the callers into sync_quota_sb.

5cee5815d1 vfs: Make sys_sync() use fsync_super() (version 4)
It is unnecessarily fragile to have two places (fsync_super() and do_sync())
doing data integrity sync of the filesystem. Alter __fsync_super() to
accommodate needs of both callers and use it. So after this patch
__fsync_super() is the only place where we gather all the calls needed to
properly send all data on a filesystem to disk.

Nice bonus is that we get a complete livelock avoidance and write_supers()
is now only used for periodic writeback of superblocks.

sync_blockdevs() introduced a couple of patches ago is gone now.

429479f031 vfs: Make __fsync_super() a static function (version 4)
__fsync_super() does the same thing as fsync_super(). So change the only
caller to use fsync_super() and make __fsync_super() static. This removes
unnecessarily duplicated call to sync_blockdev() and prepares ground
for the changes to __fsync_super() in the following patches.

bfe881255c vfs: Call ->sync_fs() even if s_dirt is 0 (version 4)
sync_filesystems() has a condition that if wait == 0 and s_dirt == 0, then
->sync_fs() isn't called. This does not really make much sence since s_dirt is
generally used by a filesystem to mean that ->write_super() needs to be called.
But ->sync_fs() does different things. I even suspect that some filesystems
(btrfs?) sets s_dirt just to fool this logic.

5a3e5cb8e0 vfs: Fix sys_sync() and fsync_super() reliability (version 4)
So far, do_sync() called:
  sync_inodes(0);
  sync_supers();
  sync_filesystems(0);
  sync_filesystems(1);
  sync_inodes(1);

This ordering makes it kind of hard for filesystems as sync_inodes(0) need not
submit all the IO (for example it skips inodes with I_SYNC set) so e.g. forcing
transaction to disk in ->sync_fs() is not really enough. Therefore sys_sync has
not been completely reliable on some filesystems (ext3, ext4, reiserfs, ocfs2
and others are hit by this) when racing e.g. with background writeback. A
similar problem hits also other filesystems (e.g. ext2) because of
write_supers() being called before the sync_inodes(1).

Change the ordering of calls in do_sync() - this requires a new function
sync_blockdevs() to preserve the property that block devices are always synced
after write_super() / sync_fs() call.

The same issue is fixed in __fsync_super() function used on umount /
remount read-only.

96029c4e09 fs: introduce mnt_clone_write
This patch speeds up lmbench lat_mmap test by about another 2% after the
first patch.

Before:
 avg = 462.286
 std = 5.46106

After:
 avg = 453.12
 std = 9.58257

(50 runs of each, stddev gives a reasonable confidence)

It does this by introducing mnt_clone_write, which avoids some heavyweight
operations of mnt_want_write if called on a vfsmount which we know already
has a write count; and mnt_want_write_file, which can call mnt_clone_write
if the file is open for write.

After these two patches, mnt_want_write and mnt_drop_write go from 7% on
the profile down to 1.3% (including mnt_clone_write).

[AV: mnt_want_write_file() should take file alone and derive mnt from it;
not only all callers have that form, but that's the only mnt about which
we know that it's already held for write if file is opened for write]

d3ef3d7351 fs: mnt_want_write speedup
This patch speeds up lmbench lat_mmap test by about 8%. lat_mmap is set up
basically to mmap a 64MB file on tmpfs, fault in its pages, then unmap it.
A microbenchmark yes, but it exercises some important paths in the mm.

Before:
 avg = 501.9
 std = 14.7773

After:
 avg = 462.286
 std = 5.46106

(50 runs of each, stddev gives a reasonable confidence, but there is quite
a bit of variation there still)

It does this by removing the complex per-cpu locking and counter-cache and
replaces it with a percpu counter in struct vfsmount. This makes the code
much simpler, and avoids spinlocks (although the msync is still pretty
costly, unfortunately). It results in about 900 bytes smaller code too. It
does increase the size of a vfsmount, however.

It should also give a speedup on large systems if CPUs are frequently operating
on different mounts (because the existing scheme has to operate on an atomic in
the struct vfsmount when switching between mounts). But I'm most interested in
the single threaded path performance for the moment.

[AV: minor cleanup]

New field: nd->root.  When pathname resolution wants to know the root,
check if nd->root.mnt is non-NULL; use nd->root if it is, otherwise
copy current->fs->root there.  After path_walk() is finished, we check
if we'd got a cached value in nd->root and drop it.  Before calling
path_walk() we should either set nd->root.mnt to NULL *or* copy (and
pin down) some path to nd->root.  In the latter case we won't be
looking at current->fs->root at all.

do_filp_open() is the only caller of do_path_lookup() that

we start caching fs->root in path_walk(), it'll need a different

164bc61951 fsnotify: handle filesystem unmounts with fsnotify marks
When an fs is unmounted with an fsnotify mark entry attached to one of its
inodes we need to destroy that mark entry and we also (like inotify) send
an unmount event.

1ef5f13c6c fsnotify: fsnotify marks on inodes pin them in core
This patch pins any inodes with an fsnotify mark in core.  The idea is that
as soon as the mark is removed from the inode->fsnotify_mark_entries list
the inode will be iput.  In reality is doesn't quite work exactly this way.
The igrab will happen when the mark is added to an inode, but the iput will
happen when the inode pointer is NULL'd inside the mark.

It's possible that 2 racing things will try to remove the mark from
different directions.  One may try to remove the mark because of an
explicit request and one might try to remove it because the inode was
deleted.  It's possible that the removal because of inode deletion will
remove the mark from the inode's list, but the removal by explicit request
will actually set entry->inode == NULL; and call the iput.  This is safe.

e4aff11736 fsnotify: allow groups to add private data to events
inotify needs per group information attached to events.  This patch allows
groups to attach private information and implements a callback so that
information can be freed when an event is being destroyed.

47882c6f51 fsnotify: add correlations between events
As part of the standard inotify events it includes a correlation cookie
between two dentry move operations.  This patch includes the same behaviour
in fsnotify events.  It is needed so that inotify userspace can be
implemented on top of fsnotify.
