[XFS] This fix prevents bulkstat from spinning in an infinite loop.
Here 'agino' increments through the inodes in an allocation group. At the
end of the innermost 'for' loop it will hold the value of the next inode
to look at (ie the first inode in the next cluster/chunk). Assigning
'lastino' to 'agino' resets it to the last inode in the last inode cluster
we just looked at. This causes us to look up the very same cluster and
examine all the inodes all over again, and again, and again...
We also want to set 'lastino' for the cases when we're not interested in
the inode so that the next call to bulkstat won't re-examine the same
uninteresting inodes.
Simplify the prototype for xfs_create/xfs_mkdir/xfs_symlink by not passing
down a bhv_vattr_t that just hogs stack space. Instead pass down the mode
in a mode_t and in case of xfs_create the rdev as a scalar type as well.

[XFS] get_bulkall() could return incorrect inode state
In the following scenario xfs_bulkstat() returns incorrect stale inode
state:
1. File_A is created and its inode synced to disk. 2. File_A is unlinked
and doesn't exist anymore. 3. Filesystem sync is invoked. 4. File_B is
created. File_B happens to reclaim File_A's inode. 5. xfs_bulkstat() is
called and detects File_B but reports the
incorrect File_A inode state.
Explanation for the incorrect inode state is that inodes are not
immediately synced on file create for performance reasons. This leaves the
on-disk inode buffer uninitialized (or with old state from a previous
generation inode) and this is what xfs_bulkstat() would report.
The patch marks the on-disk inode buffer "dirty" on unlink. When the inode
is reclaimed (by a new file create), xfs_bulkstat() would filter this
inode by the "dirty" mark. Once the inode is flushed to disk, the on-disk
buffer "dirty" mark is automatically removed and a following
xfs_bulkstat() would return the correct inode state.
Marking the on-disk inode buffer "dirty" on unlink is achieved by setting
the on-disk di_nlink field to 0. Note that the in-core di_nlink has
already been set to 0 and a corresponding transaction logged by
xfs_droplink(). This is an exception from the rule that any on-disk inode
buffer changes has to be followed by a disk write (inode flush).
Synchronizing the in-core to on-disk di_nlink values in advance (before
the actual inode flush to disk) should be fine in this case because the
inode is already unlinked and it would never change its di_nlink again for
this inode generation.

[XFS] fix when DMAPI mount option processing happens
Fix for a regression caused by a recent patch
that moved the DMAPI mount option processing inside xfs_parseargs(). The
DMAPI mount option used to be processed in the DMAPI module loaded before
xfs_parseargs() was invoked.
[XFS] ensure file size is logged on synchronous writes
Synchronous writes currently log inode changes before syncing pages to
disk. Since the file size is updated on I/O completion we wont be writing
out the updated file size and if we crash the file will have the wrong
size. This change moves the logging after the syncing of the pages to
ensure we log the correct file size.
All flags are added to xfs_mount's m_flag instead. Note that the 32bit
inode flag was duplicated in both of them, but only cleared in the mount
when it was not nessecary due to the filesystem beeing small enough. Two
flags are still required here - one to indicate the mount option setting,
and one to indicate if it applies or not.
[XFS] kill the vfs_fsid and vfs_altfsid members in struct bhv_vfs
vfs_altfsid was just a pointer to mp->m_fixedfsid so we can trivially
replace it with the latter. vfs_fsid also was identical to m_fixedfsid
through rather obfuscated ways so we can kill it as well and simply its
only user.
[XFS] remove dependency of the quota module on behaviors
Mount options are now parsed by the main XFS module and rejected if quota
support is not available, and there are some new quota operation for the
quotactl syscall and calls to quote in the mount, unmount and sync
callchains.
[XFS] remove dependency of the dmapi module on behaviors
Mount options are now parsed by the main XFS module and rejected if dmapi
support is not available, and there is a new dm operation to send the
mount event.
[XFS] move freeing the mount structure from xfs_mount_free into the callers
In the next patch we need to look at the mount structure until just before
it's freed, so we need to be able to free it as the very last thing in
xfs_unmount.
Now that struct bhv_vnode is empty we can just kill it. Retain bhv_vnode_t
as a typedef for struct inode for the time being until all the fallout is
cleaned up.
struct bhv_vnode is on it's way out, so move the trace buffer to the XFS
inode. Note that this makes the tracing macros rather misnamed, but this
kind of fallout will be fixed up incrementally later on.
All flags previously handled at the vnode level are not in the xfs_inode
where we already have a flags mechanisms and free bits for flags
previously in the vnode.
[XFS] decontaminate vnode operations from behavior details
All vnode ops now take struct xfs_inode pointers and the behaviour related
glue is split out into methods of it's own. This required fixing
xfs_create/mkdir/symlink to not mess with the inode pointer but rather use
a separate boolean for error handling. Thanks to Dave Chinner for that
fix.

[XFS] do not have XFSMNT_IDELETE as default when mounted with XFSMNT_DMAPI
XFS inodes are dynamically allocated on demand, rather than being
allocated at mkfs time. Chunks of 64 inodes are allocated at once, but
they are never freed. Over time, this can lead to filesystem
fragmentation, clusters of inodes and the btrees which point at them can
be scattered around the system.
By freeing clusters as they are emptied, we will reduce fragmentation of
the free space after removing files. This in turn will allow us to make
better placement decisions when repopulating a filesystem. The
XFSMNT_IDELETE mount option enables freeing clusters when they get empty.
Unfortunately a side effect of freeing inode clusters is that the inode
generation numbers of such inodes would be reset to zero when the cluster
is reclaimed. This is a problem in particular for a DMAPI enabled
filesystem as the the DMAPI handles need to be unique and persistent in
time. An unique DMAPI handle is built with the help of the inode
generation number. When the last one is prematurely reset by an inode
cluster reclaim, there is a high probability of different generation
inodes to end up having identical DMAPI handles.
To avoid the problem with identical DMAPI handles, the XFSMNT_IDELETE
mount option should be set as default, only if the filesystem is not
mounted with XFSMNT_DMAPI.

[XFS] Radix tree based inode caching
One of the perpetual scaling problems XFS has is indexing it's incore
inodes. We currently uses hashes and the default hash sizes chosen can
only ever be a tradeoff between memory consumption and the maximum
realistic size of the cache.
As a result, anyone who has millions of inodes cached on a filesystem
needs to tunes the size of the cache via the ihashsize mount option to
allow decent scalability with inode cache operations.
A further problem is the separate inode cluster hash, whose size is based
on the ihashsize but is smaller, and so under certain conditions (sparse
cluster cache population) this can become a limitation long before the
inode hash is causing issues.
The following patchset removes the inode hash and cluster hash and
replaces them with radix trees to avoid the scalability limitations of the
hashes. It also reduces the size of the inodes by 3 pointers....
Currently xfs has a rather complicated internal scheme to allow for
different directory formats in IRIX. This patch rips all code related to
this out and pushes useage of the Linux filldir callback into the lowlevel
directory code. This does not make the code any less portable because
filldir can be used to create dirents of all possible variations
(including the IRIX ones as proved by the IRIX binary emulation code under
arch/mips/).
This patch get rid of an unessecary copy in the readdir path, about 400
lines of code and one of the last two users of the uio structure.
This version is updated to deal with dmapi aswell which greatly simplifies
the get_dirattrs code. The dmapi part has been tested using the
get_dirattrs tools from the xfstest dmapi suite1 with various small and
large directories.
Creates a new xfs_dsb_t that is __be annotated and keeps xfs_sb_t for the
incore one. xfs_xlatesb is renamed to xfs_sb_to_disk and only handles the
incore -> disk conversion. A new helper xfs_sb_from_disk handles the other
direction and doesn't need the slightly hacky table-driven approach
because we only ever read the full sb from disk.
The handling of shared r/o filesystems has been buggy on little endian
system and fixing this required shuffling around of some code in that
area.
Biggest bit is duplicating the dinode structure so we have one annotated for
native endianess and one for disk endianess. The other significant change
is that xfs_xlate_dinode_core is split into one helper per direction to
allow for proper annotations, everything else is trivial.
As a sidenode splitting out the incore dinode means we can move it into
xfs_inode.h in a later patch and severely improving on the include hell in
xfs.

FF02::1 because it has link-local scope. Instead, it should be checking
if it's a unicast link-local address, as stated in RFC 2461/4861 Section
8.1:
- The ICMP Target Address is either a link-local address (when
redirected to a router) or the same as the ICMP Destination
Address (when redirected to the on-link destination).
I know this doesn't explicitly say unicast link-local address, but it's
implied.
This bug is preventing Linux kernels from achieving IPv6 Logo Phase II
certification because of a recent error that was found in the TAHI test

being used by other CPUs, lest they see the pagetable in an
intermediate read-only-but-not-pinned state.
When using split pte locks, doing this properly would require taking
all the pte locks for the pagetable while pinning, but this may overflow
the PREEMPT_BITS part of the preempt counter if the process has mapped
more than about 512M of memory.
However, failing to take the pte locks causes write-protect faults when
the pageout code is trying to clear the Access bit on a pte which is part
of a freshy created and still being pinned process after fork.
This is a short-term fix until the problem is solved properly.

Remove unnecessary cast in prefetch()
It is ok to call prefetch() function with NULL argument, as specifically
commented in include/linux/prefetch.h. But in standard C, it is invalid
to dereference NULL pointer (see C99 standard 6.5.3.2 paragraph 4 and
note #84).
prefetch() has a memory reference for its argument.
Newer gcc versions (4.3 and above) will use that to conclude that "x"
argument is non-null and thus wreaking havok everywhere prefetch() was
inlined.
Fixed by removing cast and changing asm constraint.
[ It seems in theory gcc 4.2 could miscompile this too; although no
cases known. In 2.6.24 we should probably switch to
__builtin_prefetch() instead, but this is a simpler fix for now.

Fix sys_remap_file_pages BUG at highmem.c:15!
Gurudas Pai reports kernel BUG at arch/i386/mm/highmem.c:15! below
sys_remap_file_pages, while running Oracle database test on x86 in 6GB
RAM: kunmap thinks we're in_interrupt because the preempt count has
wrapped.
That's because __do_fault expected to unmap page_table, but one of its
two callers do_nonlinear_fault already unmapped it: let do_linear_fault
unmap it first too, and then there's no need to pass the page_table arg
down.
Why have we been so slow to notice this? Probably through forgetting
that the mapping_cap_account_dirty test means that sys_remap_file_pages
nowadays only goes the full nonlinear vma route on a few memory-backed
filesystems like ramfs, tmpfs and hugetlbfs.
[ It also depends on CONFIG_HIGHPTE, so it becomes even harder to
trigger in practice. Many who have need of large memory have probably
migrated to x86-64..

[SPARC64]: Temporary workaround for PCI-E slot on T1000.
The PCI-E slot on T1000 connects directly to the Fire PCI chip with no
intervening bridges visible in the OBP tree.
Unfortunately the bus numbering of the device in that slot is
different (2) from the PCI host controller (0), and thus the
pci_bus_{read,write}_config_*() calls don't work out.
Complicating things further the Fire PCI controller has no config
space it responds to either.
For now treat this case specially so that devices in the slot work.
Longer term we need to perhaps cons up a dummy bridge between the Fire
and the PCI-E slot so that the bus hierarchy is complete inside of the
kernel and thus the bus numbering all works out right.
