xfs: improve metadata I/O merging in the elevator
Change all async metadata buffers to use [READ|WRITE]_META I/O types
so that the I/O doesn't get issued immediately. This allows merging of
adjacent metadata requests but still prioritises them over bulk data.
This shows a 10-15% improvement in sequential create speed of small
files.
Don't include the log buffers in this classification - leave them as
sync types so they are issued immediately.

within the numalink domain. In most cases, a single GRU mesq instruction

at the point in xpc_send_gru_msg() where the hardware has dispatched the
acknowledgement, the remote side is able to reuse the message structure
and send a message with a different slot number. This problem is made
worse by interrupts.
The adjustment of msg_slot_number and the BUG_ON in
xpc_handle_notify_mq_msg_uv() which verifies the msg_slot_number is
consistent are only used for debug purposes. Since a fix for this that
preserves the debug functionality would either have to infringe upon the

Currently the locking in blockdev_direct_IO is a mess, we have three
different locking types and very confusing checks for some of them. The
most complicated one is DIO_OWN_LOCKING for reads, which happens to not
actually be used.
This patch gets rid of the DIO_OWN_LOCKING - as mentioned above the read
case is unused anyway, and the write side is almost identical to
DIO_NO_LOCKING. The difference is that DIO_NO_LOCKING always sets the
create argument for the get_blocks callback to zero, but we can easily
move that to the actual get_blocks callbacks. There are four users of the
DIO_NO_LOCKING mode: gfs already ignores the create argument and thus is
fine with the new version, ocfs2 only errors out if create were ever set,
and we can remove this dead code now, the block device code only ever uses
create for an error message if we are fully beyond the device which can
never happen, and last but not least XFS will need the new behavour for
writes.
Now we can replace the lock_type variable with a flags one, where no flag
means the DIO_NO_LOCKING behaviour and DIO_LOCKING is kept as the first
flag. Separate out the check for not allowing to fill holes into a
separate flag, although for now both flags always get set at the same
time.
Also revamp the documentation of the locking scheme to actually make
sense.

dio: zero struct dio with kzalloc instead of manually
This patch uses kzalloc to zero all of struct dio rather than
manually trying to track which fields we rely on being zero. It
passed aio+dio stress testing and some bug regression testing on
ext3.
This patch was introduced by Linus in the conversation that lead up
to Badari's minimal fix to manually zero .map_bh.b_state in commit:
I was unable to measure a stable difference in the number of cpu
cycles spent in blockdev_direct_IO() when pushing aio+dio 256K reads
at ~340MB/s.
So the resulting intent of the patch isn't a performance gain but to
avoid exposing ourselves to the risk of finding another field like
.map_bh.b_state where we rely on zeroing but don't enforce it in the
code.
Zach surmised that zeroing out the page array was what caused most of
the problem, and suggested the approach taken in the attached patch for
resolving the issue. Intel re-tested with this patch and saw a 0.6%
performance gain (the original regression was 0.5%).

ipc/sem.c: optimize single sops when semval is zero
If multiple simple decrements on the same semaphore are pending, then the
current code scans all decrement operations, even if the semaphore value
is already 0.
The patch optimizes that: if the semaphore value is 0, then there is no
need to scan the q->alter entries.
Note that this is a common case: It happens if 100 decrements by one are
pending and now an increment by one increases the semaphore value from 0
to 1. Without this patch, all 100 entries are scanned. With the patch,
only one entry is scanned, then woken up. Then the new rule triggers and
the scanning is aborted, without looking at the remaining 99 tasks.
With this patch, single sop increment/decrement by 1 are now O(1).

ipc/sem.c: sem preempt improve
The strange sysv semaphore wakeup scheme has a kind of busy-wait lock
involved, which could deadlock if preemption is enabled during the "lock".
It is an implementation detail (due to a spinlock being held) that this is
actually the case. However if "spinlocks" are made preemptible, or if the
sem lock is changed to a sleeping lock for example, then the wakeup would
become buggy. So this might be a bugfix for -rt kernels.
Imagine waker being preempted by wakee and never clearing IN_WAKEUP -- if
wakee has higher RT priority then there is a priority inversion deadlock.
Even if there is not a priority inversion to cause a deadlock, then there
is still time wasted spinning.
