writeback: make writeback_control.nr_to_write straight
Pass struct wb_writeback_work all the way down to writeback_sb_inodes(),
and initialize the struct writeback_control there.
struct writeback_control is basically designed to control writeback of a
single file, but we keep abuse it for writing multiple files in
writeback_sb_inodes() and its callers.
It immediately clean things up, e.g. suddenly wbc.nr_to_write vs
work->nr_pages starts to make sense, and instead of saving and restoring
pages_skipped in writeback_sb_inodes it can always start with a clean
zero value.
It also makes a neat IO pattern change: large dirty files are now
written in the full 4MB writeback chunk size, rather than whatever
remained quota in wbc->nr_to_write.

writeback: skip balance_dirty_pages() for in-memory fs
This avoids unnecessary checks and dirty throttling on tmpfs/ramfs.
Notes about the tmpfs/ramfs behavior changes:
As for 2.6.36 and older kernels, the tmpfs writes will sleep inside
balance_dirty_pages() as long as we are over the (dirty+background)/2
global throttle threshold. This is because both the dirty pages and
threshold will be 0 for tmpfs/ramfs. Hence this test will always
evaluate to TRUE:
So 2.6.37 will behave differently for tmpfs/ramfs: it will never get
throttled unless the global dirty threshold is exceeded (which is very
unlikely to happen; once happen, will block many tasks).
I'd say that the 2.6.36 behavior is very bad for tmpfs/ramfs. It means
for a busy writing server, tmpfs write()s may get livelocked! The
"inadvertent" throttling can hardly bring help to any workload because
of its "either no throttling, or get throttled to death" property.
So based on 2.6.37, this patch won't bring more noticeable changes.

There is no point to carry different refill policies between for_kupdate
and other type of works. Use a consistent "refill b_io iff empty" policy
which can guarantee fairness in an easy to understand way.
A b_io refill will setup a _fixed_ work set with all currently eligible
inodes and start a new round of walk through b_io. The "fixed" work set
means no new inodes will be added to the work set during the walk.
Only when a complete walk over b_io is done, new inodes that are
eligible at the time will be enqueued and the walk be started over.
This procedure provides fairness among the inodes because it guarantees
each inode to be synced once and only once at each round. So all inodes
will be free from starvations.
This change relies on wb_writeback() to keep retrying as long as we made
some progress on cleaning some pages and/or inodes. Without that ability,
the old logic on background works relies on aggressively queuing all
eligible inodes into b_io at every time. But that's not a guarantee.
The below test script completes a slightly faster now:
2.6.39-rc3 2.6.39-rc3-dyn-expire+
------------------------------------------------
all elapsed 256.043 252.367

It maintains roughly the same small vs. large file writeout shares, and
offers large files better chances to be written in nice 4M chunks.
Analyzes from Dave Chinner in great details:
Let's say we have lots of inodes with 100 dirty pages being created,
and one large writeback going on. We expire 8 new inodes for every
1024 pages we write back.
Rough progression of pages written at b_io refill:
Old code:
total large file % of writeback
1024 224 21.9% (fixed)
New code:
total large file % of writeback
1800 1024 ~55%
2550 1024 ~40%
3050 1024 ~33%
3500 1024 ~29%
3950 1024 ~26%
4250 1024 ~24%
4500 1024 ~22.7%
4700 1024 ~21.7%
4800 1024 ~21.3%
4800 1024 ~21.3%
(pretty much steady state from here)
Ok, so the steady state is reached with a similar percentage of
writeback to the large file as the existing code. Ok, that's good,
but providing some evidence that is doesn't change the shared of
writeback to the large should be in the commit message ;)
The other advantage to this is that we always write 1024 page chunks
to the large file, rather than smaller "whatever remains" chunks.

writeback: the kupdate expire timestamp should be a moving target
Dynamically compute the dirty expire timestamp at queue_io() time.
writeback_control.older_than_this used to be determined at entrance to
the kupdate writeback work. This _static_ timestamp may go stale if the
kupdate work runs on and on. The flusher may then stuck with some old
busy inodes, never considering newly expired inodes thereafter.
This has two possible problems:
- It is unfair for a large dirty inode to delay (for a long time) the
writeback of small dirty inodes.
- As time goes by, the large and busy dirty inode may contain only
_freshly_ dirtied pages. Ignoring newly expired dirty inodes risks
delaying the expired dirty pages to the end of LRU lists, triggering
the evil pageout(). Nevertheless this patch merely addresses part
of the problem.
v2: keep policy changes inside wb_writeback() and keep the
wbc.older_than_this visibility as suggested by Dave.

writeback: try more writeback as long as something was written
writeback_inodes_wb()/__writeback_inodes_sb() are not aggressive in that
they only populate possibly a subset of eligible inodes into b_io at
entrance time. When the queued set of inodes are all synced, they just
return, possibly with all queued inode pages written but still
wbc.nr_to_write > 0.
For kupdate and background writeback, there may be more eligible inodes
sitting in b_dirty when the current set of b_io inodes are completed. So
it is necessary to try another round of writeback as long as we made some
progress in this round. When there are no more eligible inodes, no more
inodes will be enqueued in queue_io(), hence nothing could/will be
synced and we may safely bail.
For example, imagine 100 inodes
i0, i1, i2, ..., i90, i91, i99
At queue_io() time, i90-i99 happen to be expired and moved to s_io for
IO. When finished successfully, if their total size is less than
MAX_WRITEBACK_PAGES, nr_to_write will be > 0. Then wb_writeback() will
quit the background work (w/o this patch) while it's still over
background threshold. This will be a fairly normal/frequent case I guess.
Now that we do tagged sync and update inode->dirtied_when after the sync,
this change won't livelock sync(1). I actually tried to write 1 page
per 1ms with this command
write-and-fsync -n10000 -S 1000 -c 4096 /fs/test
and do sync(1) at the same time. The sync completes quickly on ext4,
xfs, btrfs.

The flusher works on dirty inodes in batches, and may quit prematurely
if the batch of inodes happen to be metadata-only dirtied: in this case
wbc->nr_to_write won't be decreased at all, which stands for "no pages
written" but also mis-interpreted as "no progress".
So introduce writeback_control.inodes_written to count the inodes get
cleaned from VFS POV. A non-zero value means there are some progress on
writeback, in which case more writeback can be tried.

writeback: update dirtied_when for synced inode to prevent livelock
Explicitly update .dirtied_when on synced inodes, so that they are no
longer considered for writeback in the next round.
It can prevent both of the following livelock schemes:
- while true; do echo data >> f; done
- while true; do touch f; done (in theory)
The exact livelock condition is, during sync(1):
(1) no new inodes are dirtied
(2) an inode being actively dirtied
On (2), the inode will be tagged and synced with .nr_to_write=LONG_MAX.
When finished, it will be redirty_tail()ed because it's still dirty
and (.nr_to_write > 0). redirty_tail() won't update its ->dirtied_when
on condition (1). The sync work will then revisit it on the next
queue_io() and find it eligible again because its old ->dirtied_when
predates the sync work start time.
We'll do more aggressive "keep writeback as long as we wrote something"
logic in wb_writeback(). The "use LONG_MAX .nr_to_write" trick in commit b9543dac5bbc ("writeback: avoid livelocking WB_SYNC_ALL writeback") will
no longer be enough to stop sync livelock.

writeback: introduce .tagged_writepages for the WB_SYNC_NONE sync stage
sync(2) is performed in two stages: the WB_SYNC_NONE sync and the
WB_SYNC_ALL sync. Identify the first stage with .tagged_writepages and
do livelock prevention for it, too.
Jan's commit f446daaea9 ("mm: implement writeback livelock avoidance
using page tagging") is a partial fix in that it only fixed the
WB_SYNC_ALL phase livelock.
Although ext4 is tested to no longer livelock with commit f446daaea9,
it may due to some "redirty_tail() after pages_skipped" effect which
is by no means a guarantee for _all_ the file systems.
Note that writeback_inodes_sb() is called by not only sync(), they are
treated the same because the other callers also need livelock prevention.
Impact: It changes the order in which pages/inodes are synced to disk.
Now in the WB_SYNC_NONE stage, it won't proceed to write the next inode
until finished with the current inode.

It was broken in so many ways, and results in random odd pty issues.
It re-introduced the buggy schedule_work() in flush_to_ldisc() that can
cause endless work-loops (see commit a5660b41af6a: "tty: fix endless
work loop when the buffer fills up").
It also used an "unsigned int" return value fo the ->receive_buf()
function, but then made multiple functions return a negative error code,
and didn't actually check for the error in the caller.
And it didn't actually work at all. BenH bisected down odd tty behavior
to it:
"It looks like the patch is causing some major malfunctions of the X
server for me, possibly related to PTYs. For example, cat'ing a
large file in a gnome terminal hangs the kernel for -minutes- in a
loop of what looks like flush_to_ldisc/workqueue code, (some ftrace
data in the quoted bits further down).
...
Some more data: It -looks- like what happens is that the
flush_to_ldisc work queue entry constantly re-queues itself (because
the PTY is full ?) and the workqueue thread will basically loop
forver calling it without ever scheduling, thus starving the consumer
process that could have emptied the PTY."
which is pretty much exactly the problem we fixed in a5660b41af6a.
Milton Miller pointed out the 'unsigned int' issue.

UBIFS: fix clean znode counter corruption in error cases
UBIFS maintains per-filesystem and global clean znode counters
('c->clean_zn_cnt' and 'ubifs_clean_zn_cnt'). It is important to maintain
correct values there since the shrinker relies on 'ubifs_clean_zn_cnt'.
However, in case of failures during commit the counters were corrupted. E.g.,
if a failure happens in the middle of 'write_index()', then some nodes in the
commit list ('c->cnext') are marked as clean, and some are marked as dirty. And
the 'ubifs_destroy_tnc_subtree()' frees does not retrun correct count, and we
end up with non-zero 'c->clean_zn_cnt' when unmounting. This means that if we
have 2 file-sytem and one of them fails, and we unmount it,
'ubifs_clean_zn_cnt' stays incorrect and confuses the shrinker.

this by only requesting the interrupt after we've reset the chip so we
