GFS2: speed up delete/unlink performance for large files
This patch improves the performance of delete/unlink
operations in a GFS2 file system where the files are large
by adding a layer of metadata read-ahead for indirect blocks.
Mileage will vary, but on my system, deleting an 8.6G file
dropped from 22 seconds to about 4.5 seconds.

I found an off-by-one problem with how I coded this section:
It should be:
+ else if (blk >= cur->rd_data0 + cur->rd_data)
In fact, cur->rd_data0 + cur->rd_data is the start of the next
rgrp (the next ri_addr), so without the "=" check it can land on
the wrong rgrp.
In all normal cases, this won't be a problem: you're searching
for a block _within_ the rgrp, which will pass the test properly.
Where it gets into trouble is if you search the rgrps for the
block exactly equal to ri_addr. I don't think anything in the
kernel does this, but I found a place in gfs2-utils gfs2_edit
where it does. So I definitely need to fix it in libgfs2. I'd
like to suggest we fix it in the kernel as well for the sake of
keeping the functions similar.
So this patch fixes the above mentioned off by one error as well
as removing the unused parent pointer.

This patch brings gfs2's ->page_mkwrite uptodate with respect to the
expectations set by the VM. Also added is a check to wait if the fs
is frozen, before we attempt to get a glock. This will only work on
the node which initiates the freeze, but thats ok since the transaction
lock will still provide the expected barrier on other nodes.
The major change here is that we return a locked page now, except when
we don't return a page at all (error cases). This removes the race
which required rechecking the page after it was returned.

Unfortunately, it is not enough to just ignore locked buffers during
the AIL flush from fsync. We need to be able to ignore all buffers
which are locked, dirty or pinned at this stage as they might have
been added subsequent to the log flush earlier in the fsync function.
In addition, this means that we no longer need to rely on i_mutex to
keep out writes during fsync, so we can, as a side-effect, remove
that protection too.

Each block which is deallocated, requires a call to gfs2_rlist_add()
and each of those calls was calling gfs2_blk2rgrpd() in order to
figure out which rgrp the block belonged in. This can be speeded up
by making use of the rgrp cached in the inode. We also reset this
cached rgrp in case the block has changed rgrp. This should provide
a big reduction in gfs2_blk2rgrpd() calls during deallocation.

GFS2: Call do_strip() directly from recursive_scan()
The recursive_scan() function only ever takes a single "bc"
argument, so we might as well just call do_strip() directly
from resource_scan() rather than pass it in as an argument.
Also the "data" argument is always a struct strip_mine, so
we can pass that in, rather than using a void pointer.
This also moves do_strip() ahead of recursive_scan() so that
we don't need to add a prototype.

Given that a resource group has been locked, there is no reason why
we should not be able to allocate as many blocks as are free. The
al_requested parameter should really be considered as a minimum
number of blocks to be available. Should this limit be overshot,
there are other mechanisms which will prevent over allocation.

GFS2: Cache the most recently used resource group in the inode
This means that after the initial allocation for any inode, the
last used resource group is cached in the inode for future use.
This drastically reduces the number of lookups of resource
groups in the common case, and this the contention on that
data structure.
The allocation algorithm is the same as previously, except that we
always check to see if the goal block is within the cached rgrp
first before going to the rbtree to look one up.

GFS2: Make resource groups "append only" during life of fs
Since we have ruled out supporting online filesystem shrink,
it is possible to make the resource group list append only
during the life of a super block. This gives several benefits:
Firstly, we only need to read new rindex elements as they are added
rather than needing to reread the whole rindex file each time one
element is added.
Secondly, the rindex glock can be held for much shorter periods of
time, and is completely removed from the fast path for allocations.
The lock is taken in shared mode only when updating the resource
groups when the first allocation occurs, and after a grow has
taken place.
Thirdly, this results in a reduction in code size, and everything
gets a lot simpler to understand in this area.

GFS2: Use rbtree for resource groups and clean up bitmap buffer ref count scheme
Here is an update of Bob's original rbtree patch which, in addition, also
resolves the rather strange ref counting that was being done relating to
the bitmap blocks.
Originally we had a dual system for journaling resource groups. The metadata
blocks were journaled and also the rgrp itself was added to a list. The reason
for adding the rgrp to the list in the journal was so that the "repolish
clones" code could be run to update the free space, and potentially send any
discard requests when the log was flushed. This was done by comparing the
"cloned" bitmap with what had been written back on disk during the transaction
commit.
Due to this, there was a requirement to hang on to the rgrps' bitmap buffers
until the journal had been flushed. For that reason, there was a rather
complicated set up in the ->go_lock ->go_unlock functions for rgrps involving
both a mutex and a spinlock (the ->sd_rindex_spin) to maintain a reference
count on the buffers.
However, the journal maintains a reference count on the buffers anyway, since
they are being journaled as metadata buffers. So by moving the code which deals
with the post-journal accounting for bitmap blocks to the metadata journaling
code, we can entirely dispense with the rather strange buffer ref counting
scheme and also the requirement to journal the rgrps.
The net result of all this is that the ->sd_rindex_spin is left to do exactly
one job, and that is to look after the rbtree or rgrps.
This patch is designed to be a stepping stone towards using RCU for the rbtree
of resource groups, however the reduction in the number of uses of the
->sd_rindex_spin is likely to have benefits for multi-threaded workloads,
anyway.
The patch retains ->go_lock and ->go_unlock for rgrps, however these maybe also
be removed in future in favour of calling the functions directly where required
in the code. That will allow locking of resource groups without needing to
actually read them in - something that could be useful in speeding up statfs.
In the mean time though it is valid to dereference ->bi_bh only when the rgrp
is locked. This is basically the same rule as before, modulo the references not
being valid until the following journal flush.

GFS2: Fix lseek after SEEK_DATA, SEEK_HOLE have been added
We need to take the inode's glock whenever the inode's size
is referenced, otherwise it might not be uptodate. Even
though generic_file_llseek_unlocked() doesn't implement
SEEK_DATA, SEEK_HOLE directly, it does reference the inode's

If we pass through knowledge of whether the creation is intended to be

Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
The aim of this patch is to use the newly enhanced ->dirty_inode()
super block operation to deal with atime updates, rather than
piggy backing that code into ->write_inode() as is currently
done.
The net result is a simplification of the code in various places
and a reduction of the number of gfs2_dinode_out() calls since
this is now implied by ->dirty_inode().
Some of the mark_inode_dirty() calls have been moved under glocks
in order to take advantage of then being able to avoid locking in
->dirty_inode() when we already have suitable locks.
One consequence is that generic_write_end() now correctly deals
with file size updates, so that we do not need a separate check
for that afterwards. This also, indirectly, means that fdatasync
should work correctly on GFS2 - the current code always syncs the
metadata whether it needs to or not.
Has survived testing with postmark (with and without atime) and
also fsx.

Journaled data requires that a complete flush of all dirty data for
the file is done, in order that the ail flush which comes after
will succeed.
Also the recently enhanced bug trap can trigger falsely in case
an ail flush from fsync races with a page read. This updates the
bug trap such that it will ignore buffers which are locked and
only trigger on dirty and/or pinned buffers when the ail flush
is run from fsync. The original bug trap is retained when ail
flush is run from ->go_sync()

If we have got far enough through the inode allocation code
path that an inode has already been allocated, then we must
call iput to dispose of it, if an error occurs during a
later part of the process. This will always be the final iput
since there will be no other references to the inode.
Unlike when the inode has been unlinked, its block state will
be GFS2_BLKST_INODE rather than GFS2_BLKST_UNLINKED so we need
to skip the test in ->evict_inode() for this one case in order
to ensure that it will be deallocated correctly. This patch adds
a new flag in order to ensure that this will happen correctly.

mm: fix race between mremap and removing migration entry
I don't usually pay much attention to the stale "? " addresses in
stack backtraces, but this lucky report from Pawel Sikora hints that
mremap's move_ptes() has inadequate locking against page migration.
mremap's down_write of mmap_sem, together with i_mmap_mutex or lock,
and pagetable locks, were good enough before page migration (with its
requirement that every migration entry be found) came in, and enough
while migration always held mmap_sem; but not enough nowadays, when
there's memory hotremove and compaction.
The danger is that move_ptes() lets a migration entry dodge around
behind remove_migration_pte()'s back, so it's in the old location when
looking at the new, then in the new location when looking at the old.
Either mremap's move_ptes() must additionally take anon_vma lock(), or
migration's remove_migration_pte() must stop peeking for is_swap_entry()
before it takes pagetable lock.
Consensus chooses the latter: we prefer to add overhead to migration
than to mremapping, which gets used by JVMs and by exec stack setup.

x86, mrst: use a temporary variable for SFI irq
SFI tables reside in RAM and should not be modified once they are
written. Current code went to set pentry->irq to zero which causes
subsequent reads to fail with invalid SFI table checksum. This will
break kexec as the second kernel fails to validate SFI tables.
To fix this we use temporary variable for irq number.

The w83627ehf driver is improperly reporting thermal diode sensors as
type 2, instead of 3. This caused "sensors" and possibly other
monitoring tools to report these sensors as "transistor" instead of
"thermal diode".
Furthermore, diode subtype selection (CPU vs. external) is only
supported by the original W83627EHF/EHG. All later models only support
CPU diode type, and some (NCT6776F) don't even have the register in
question so we should avoid reading from it.

Currently we have a few issues with the way the workqueue code is used to
implement AIL pushing:
- it accidentally uses the same workqueue as the syncer action, and thus
can be prevented from running if there are enough sync actions active
in the system.
- it doesn't use the HIGHPRI flag to queue at the head of the queue of
work items
At this point I'm not confident enough in getting all the workqueue flags and
tweaks right to provide a perfectly reliable execution context for AIL
pushing, which is the most important piece in XFS to make forward progress
when the log fills.
Revert back to use a kthread per filesystem which fixes all the above issues
at the cost of having a task struct and stack around for each mounted
filesystem. In addition this also gives us much better ways to diagnose
any issues involving hung AIL pushing and removes a small amount of code.

Btrfs: make sure not to defrag extents past i_size
The btrfs file defrag code will loop through the extents and
force COW on them. But there is a concurrent truncate in the middle of
the defrag, it might end up defragging the same range over and over
again.
The problem is that writepage won't go through and do anything on pages
past i_size, so the cow won't happen, so the file will appear to still
be fragmented. defrag will end up hitting the same extents again and
again.
In the worst case, the truncate can actually live lock with the defrag
because the defrag keeps creating new ordered extents which the truncate
code keeps waiting on.
The fix here is to make defrag check for i_size inside the main loop,
instead of just once before the looping starts.

Linus suggested in https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/8/9/376 to default
to vsyscall=native for now, this patch implements that.
and then it'll go into a loop: writeback -> defrag -> writeback ...
It's because writeback writes [8K, 200K] and then writes [0, 8K].
I tried to make writeback know if the pages are dirtied by defrag,
but the patch was a bit intrusive. Here I simply set writeback_index

meant it was being swapped to BE and written to the descriptor and to

then swapped back to BE while writing to the register. But in the blue
frame case, it was being written as LE to the descriptor.
The fix is not to swap doorbell unconditionally, write it to the

x86/PCI: use host bridge _CRS info on ASUS M2V-MX SE

added by commit 2491762cfb47 ("x86/PCI: use host bridge _CRS info on
ASRock ALiveSATA2-GLAN") whose commit message should be read for further
information.
Since commit 3e3da00c01d0 ("x86/pci: AMD one chain system to use pci

Trusting the ACPI _CRS information (`pci=use_crs`) fixes this problem.
$ dmesg | grep -i crs # with the quirk

The match has to be against the DMI board entries though since the vendor entries are not populated.

This quirk should be removed when `pci=use_crs` is enabled for machines
from 2006 or earlier or some other solution is implemented.
Using coreboot [1] with this board the problem does not exist but this
quirk also does not affect it either. To be safe though the check is
tightened to only take effect when the BIOS from American Megatrends is
used.

This resolves a regression seen by some users of bridging.
Some users use the bridge like a dummy device.
They expect to be able to put an IPv6 address on the device
with no ports attached. Although there are better ways of doing
this, there is no reason to not allow it.
Note: the bridge still will reflect the state of ports in the
bridge if there are any added.
