41b93bc1ee logfs: maintain the ordering of meta-inode destruction
LogFS does not use a specialized area to maintain the inodes. The
inodes information is kept in a specialized file called inode file.
Similarly, the segment information is kept in a segment file. Since
the segment file also has an inode which is kept in the inode file,
the inode for segment file must be evicted before the inode for inode
file. The change fixes the following BUG during unmount

d2dcd9083f logfs: destroy the reserved inodes while unmounting
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.

Merge tag 'for-linus' of git://github.com/prasad-joshi/logfs_upstream

There are few important bug fixes for LogFS

* tag 'for-linus' of git://github.com/prasad-joshi/logfs_upstream:
  Logfs: Allow NULL block_isbad() methods
  logfs: Grow inode in delete path
  logfs: Free areas before calling generic_shutdown_super()
  logfs: remove useless BUG_ON
  MAINTAINERS: Add Prasad Joshi in LogFS maintiners
  logfs: Propagate page parameter to __logfs_write_inode
  logfs: set superblock shutdown flag after generic sb shutdown
  logfs: take write mutex lock during fsync and sync
  logfs: Prevent memory corruption
  logfs: update page reference count for pined pages

Fix up conflict in fs/logfs/dev_mtd.c due to semantic change in what
"mtd->block_isbad" means in commit f2933e86ad: "Logfs: Allow NULL
block_isbad() methods" clashing with the abstraction changes in the
commits 7086c19d07: "mtd: introduce mtd_block_isbad interface" and
d58b27ed58: "logfs: do not use 'mtd->block_isbad' directly".

This resolution takes the semantics from commit f2933e86ad, and just
makes mtd_block_isbad() return zero (false) if the 'block_isbad'
function is NULL.  But that also means that now "mtd_can_have_bb()"
always returns 0.

Now, "mtd_block_markbad()" will obviously return an error if the
low-level driver doesn't support bad blocks, so this is somewhat
non-symmetric, but it actually makes sense if a NULL "block_isbad"
function is considered to mean "I assume that all my blocks are always
good".

0bd90387ed logfs: Propagate page parameter to __logfs_write_inode
During GC LogFS has to rewrite each valid block to a separate segment.
Rewrite operation reads data from an old segment and writes it to a
newly allocated segment. Since every write operation changes data
block pointers maintained in inode, inode should also be rewritten.

In GC path to avoid AB-BA deadlock LogFS marks a page with
PG_pre_locked in addition to locking the page (PG_locked). The page
lock is ignored iff the page is pre-locked.

LogFS uses a special file called segment file. The segment file
maintains an 8 bytes entry for every segment. It keeps track of erase
count, level etc. for every segment.

Bad things happen with a segment belonging to the segment file is GCed

The patch passes locked page to __logfs_write_inode. It calls function
logfs_get_wblocks() to pre-lock the page. This ensures any further
attempts to lock the page are ignored (esp from get_erase_count).

6b520e0565 vfs: fix the stupidity with i_dentry in inode destructors
Seeing that just about every destructor got that INIT_LIST_HEAD() copied into
it, there is no point whatsoever keeping this INIT_LIST_HEAD in inode_init_once();
the cost of taking it into inode_init_always() will be negligible for pipes
and sockets and negative for everything else.  Not to mention the removal of
boilerplate code from ->destroy_inode() instances...

f283c86afe fs: remove inode_lock from iput_final and prune_icache
Now that inode state changes are protected by the inode->i_lock and
the inode LRU manipulations by the inode_lru_lock, we can remove the
inode_lock from prune_icache and the initial part of iput_final().

instead of using the inode_lock to protect the inode during
iput_final, use the inode->i_lock instead. This protects the inode
against new references being taken while we change the inode state
to I_FREEING, as well as preventing prune_icache from grabbing the
inode while we are manipulating it. Hence we no longer need the
inode_lock in iput_final prior to setting I_FREEING on the inode.

For prune_icache, we no longer need the inode_lock to protect the
LRU list, and the inodes themselves are protected against freeing
races by the inode->i_lock. Hence we can lift the inode_lock from
prune_icache as well.

fa0d7e3de6 fs: icache RCU free inodes
RCU free the struct inode. This will allow:

- Subsequent store-free path walking patch. The inode must be consulted for
  permissions when walking, so an RCU inode reference is a must.
- sb_inode_list_lock to be moved inside i_lock because sb list walkers who want
  to take i_lock no longer need to take sb_inode_list_lock to walk the list in
  the first place. This will simplify and optimize locking.
- Could remove some nested trylock loops in dcache code
- Could potentially simplify things a bit in VM land. Do not need to take the
  page lock to follow page->mapping.

The downsides of this is the performance cost of using RCU. In a simple
creat/unlink microbenchmark, performance drops by about 10% due to inability to
reuse cache-hot slab objects. As iterations increase and RCU freeing starts
kicking over, this increases to about 20%.

In cases where inode lifetimes are longer (ie. many inodes may be allocated
during the average life span of a single inode), a lot of this cache reuse is
not applicable, so the regression caused by this patch is smaller.

The cache-hot regression could largely be avoided by using SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU,
however this adds some complexity to list walking and store-free path walking,
so I prefer to implement this at a later date, if it is shown to be a win in
real situations. I haven't found a regression in any non-micro benchmark so I
doubt it will be a problem.

5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
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.
