2008-07-11vfs: Move mark_inode_dirty() from under page lock in generic_write_end()Jan Kara
There's no need to call mark_inode_dirty() under page lock in generic_write_end(). It unnecessarily makes hold time of page lock longer and more importantly it forces locking order of page lock and transaction start for journaling filesystems.

2008-07-11ext4: Use page_mkwrite vma_operations to get mmap write notification.Aneesh Kumar K.V
We would like to get notified when we are doing a write on mmap section. This is needed with respect to preallocated area. We split the preallocated area into initialzed extent and uninitialzed extent in the call back. This let us handle ENOSPC better. Otherwise we get ENOSPC in the writepage and that would result in data loss. The changes are also needed to handle ENOSPC when writing to an mmap section of files with holes.

2008-07-11ext4: Set journal pointer to NULL when journal is releasedJan Kara
Set sbi->s_journal to NULL after we call journal_destroy().

2008-07-11ext4: Use inode preallocation with -o noextentsAneesh Kumar K.V
When mballoc is enabled, block allocation for old block-based files are allocated using mballoc allocator instead of old block-based allocator. The old ext3 block reservation is turned off when mballoc is turned on. However, the in-core preallocation is not enabled for block-based/ non-extent based file block allocation. This result in performance regression, as now we don't have "reservation" ore in-core preallocation to prevent interleaved fragmentation in multiple writes workload. This patch fix this by enable per inode in-core preallocation for non extent files when mballoc is used.

2008-07-13jbd2: fix race between jbd2_journal_try_to_free_buffers() and jbd2 commit ↵Mingming Cao
transaction journal_try_to_free_buffers() could race with jbd commit transaction when the later is holding the buffer reference while waiting for the data buffer to flush to disk. If the caller of journal_try_to_free_buffers() request tries hard to release the buffers, it will treat the failure as error and return back to the caller. We have seen the directo IO failed due to this race. Some of the caller of releasepage() also expecting the buffer to be dropped when passed with GFP_KERNEL mask to the releasepage()->journal_try_to_free_buffers(). With this patch, if the caller is passing the GFP_KERNEL to indicating this call could wait, in case of try_to_free_buffers() failed, let's waiting for journal_commit_transaction() to finish commit the current committing transaction , then try to free those buffers again with journal locked.

2008-07-11ext4: New inode allocation for FLEX_BG meta-data groups.Jose R. Santos
This patch mostly controls the way inode are allocated in order to make ialloc aware of flex_bg block group grouping. It achieves this by bypassing the Orlov allocator when block group meta-data are packed toghether through mke2fs. Since the impact on the block allocator is minimal, this patch should have little or no effect on other block allocation algorithms. By controlling the inode allocation, it can basically control where the initial search for new block begins and thus indirectly manipulate the block allocator. This allocator favors data and meta-data locality so the disk will gradually be filled from block group zero upward. This helps improve performance by reducing seek time. Since the group of inode tables within one flex_bg are treated as one giant inode table, uninitialized block groups would not need to partially initialize as many inode table as with Orlov which would help fsck time as the filesystem usage goes up.

2008-07-13cpusets, hotplug, scheduler: fix scheduler domain breakageDmitry Adamushko
Commit f18f982ab ("sched: CPU hotplug events must not destroy scheduler domains created by the cpusets") introduced a hotplug-related problem as described below: Upon CPU_DOWN_PREPARE, update_sched_domains() -> detach_destroy_domains(&cpu_online_map) does the following: /* * Force a reinitialization of the sched domains hierarchy. The domains * and groups cannot be updated in place without racing with the balancing * code, so we temporarily attach all running cpus to the NULL domain * which will prevent rebalancing while the sched domains are recalculated. */ The sched-domains should be rebuilt when a CPU_DOWN ops. has been completed, effectively either upon CPU_DEAD{_FROZEN} (upon success) or CPU_DOWN_FAILED{_FROZEN} (upon failure -- restore the things to their initial state). That's what update_sched_domains() also does but only for !CPUSETS case. With f18f982ab, sched-domains' reinitialization is delegated to CPUSETS code: cpuset_handle_cpuhp() -> common_cpu_mem_hotplug_unplug() -> rebuild_sched_domains() Being called for CPU_UP_PREPARE and if its callback is called after update_sched_domains()), it just negates all the work done by update_sched_domains() -- i.e. a soon-to-be-offline cpu is included in the sched-domains and that makes it visible for the load-balancer while the CPU_DOWN ops. is in progress. __migrate_live_tasks() moves the tasks off a 'dead' cpu (it's already "offline" when this function is called). try_to_wake_up() is called for one of these tasks from another CPU -> the load-balancer (wake_idle()) picks up a "dead" CPU and places the task on it. Then e.g. BUG_ON(rq->nr_running) detects this a bit later -> oops.
