There are few important bug fixes for LogFS
9f0bbd8 logfs: query block device for number of pages to send with bio
This BUG was found when LogFS was used on KVM. The patch fixes
the problem by asking for underlaying block device the number
of pages to send with each BIO.
41b93bc logfs: maintain the ordering of meta-inode destruction
LogFS maintains file system meta-data in special inodes. These
inodes are releated to each other, therefore they must be
destroyed in a proper order.
ddb24bb logfs: create a pagecache page if it is not present
cd8bfa9 logfs: initialize the number of iovecs in bio
LogFS used to panic when it was created on an encrypted LVM
volume. The patch fixes the problem by properly initializing
the BIO.
d2dcd90 logfs: destroy the reserved inodes while unmounting

After we moved inode_sync_wait() from end_writeback() it doesn't make sense
to call the function end_writeback() anymore. Rename it to clear_inode()
which well says what the function really does - set I_CLEAR flag.

We were assuming that the evict_inode() would never be called on
reserved inodes. However, (after the commit 8e22c1a4e logfs: get rid
of magical inodes) while unmounting the file system, in put_super, we
call iput() on all of the reserved inodes.
The following simple test used to cause a kernel panic on LogFS:
1. Mount a LogFS file system on /mnt
2. Create a file
$ touch /mnt/a
3. Try to unmount the FS
$ umount /mnt
The simple fix would be to drop the assumption and properly destroy
the reserved inodes.

Can be necessary if an inode gets deleted (through -ENOSPC) before being
written. Might be better to move this into logfs_write_rec(), but for
now go with the stupid&safe patch.

LogFS sets PG_private flag to indicate a pined page. We assumed that
marking a page as private is enough to ensure its existence. But
instead it is necessary to hold a reference count to the page.
The change resolves the following BUG
BUG: Bad page state in process flush-253:16 pfn:6a6d0

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.

Truncate would do an almost limitless amount of work without invoking
the garbage collector in between. Split it up into more manageable,
though still large, chunks.

It would probably be better to just accept NULL pointers in
mempool_destroy(). But for the current -rc series let's keep things
simple.
This patch was lost in the cracks for a while.

send a similar patch because of it. :(

Removing sufficiently large files would create aliases for a large
number of segments. This in turn results in a large number of journal
entries and an overflow of s_je_array.
Cheap fix is to add a BUG_ON, turning memory corruption into something
annoying, but less dangerous. Real fix is to count the number of
affected segments and prevent the problem completely.

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

The comment was correct, so make the code match the comment. As the
new comment indicates, we might be able to do a little less work. But
for the current -rc series let's keep it simple and just fix the bug.
