This gives the filesystem more information about the writeback that
is happening. Trond requested this for the NFS unstable write handling,
and other filesystems might benefit from this too by beeing able to
distinguish between the different callers in more detail.

Get rid of the initialize dquot operation - it is now always called from
the filesystem and if a filesystem really needs it's own (which none
currently does) it can just call into it's own routine directly.
Rename the now static low-level dquot_initialize helper to __dquot_initialize
and vfs_dq_init to dquot_initialize to have a consistent namespace.

Currently various places in the VFS call vfs_dq_init directly. This means
we tie the quota code into the VFS. Get rid of that and make the
filesystem responsible for the initialization. For most metadata operations
this is a straight forward move into the methods, but for truncate and
open it's a bit more complicated.
For truncate we currently only call vfs_dq_init for the sys_truncate case
because open already takes care of it for ftruncate and open(O_TRUNC) - the
new code causes an additional vfs_dq_init for those which is harmless.
For open the initialization is moved from do_filp_open into the open method,
which means it happens slightly earlier now, and only for regular files.
The latter is fine because we don't need to initialize it for operations
on special files, and we already do it as part of the namespace operations
for directories.
Add a dquot_file_open helper that filesystems that support generic quotas
can use to fill in ->open.

Enable removing of corrupted pages through truncation
for a bunch of file systems: ext*, xfs, gfs2, ocfs2, ntfs
These should cover most server needs.
I chose the set of migration aware file systems for this
for now, assuming they have been especially audited.
But in general it should be safe for all file systems
on the data area that support read/write and truncate.
Caveat: the hardware error handler does not take i_mutex
for now before calling the truncate function. Is that ok?

If two writers allocating blocks to file race with each other (e.g.
because writepages races with ordinary write or two writepages race with
each other), ext2_getblock() can be called on the same inode in parallel.
Before we are going to allocate new blocks, we have to recheck the block
chain we have obtained so far without holding truncate_mutex. Otherwise
we could overwrite the indirect block pointer set by the other writer
leading to data loss.
The below test program by Ying is able to reproduce the data loss with ext2
on in BRD in a few minutes if the machine is under memory pressure:
long kMemSize = 50 << 20;
int kPageSize = 4096;
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
int status;
int count = 0;
int i;
char *fname = "/mnt/test.mmap";
char *mem;
unlink(fname);
int fd = open(fname, O_CREAT | O_EXCL | O_RDWR, 0600);
status = ftruncate(fd, kMemSize);
mem = mmap(0, kMemSize, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
// Fill the memory with 1s.
memset(mem, 1, kMemSize);
sleep(2);
for (i = 0; i < kMemSize; i++) {
int byte_good = mem[i] != 0;
if (!byte_good && ((i % kPageSize) == 0)) {
//printf("%d ", i / kPageSize);
count++;
}
}
munmap(mem, kMemSize);
close(fd);
unlink(fname);
if (count > 0) {
printf("Running %d bad page\n", count);
return 1;
}
return 0;
}

Any block based fs (this patch includes ext3) just has to declare its own
fiemap() function and then call this generic function with its own
get_block_t. This works well for block based filesystems that will map
multiple contiguous blocks at one time, but will work for filesystems that
only map one block at a time, you will just end up with an "extent" for each
block. One gotcha is this will not play nicely where there is hole+data
after the EOF. This function will assume its hit the end of the data as soon
as it hits a hole after the EOF, so if there is any data past that it will
not pick that up. AFAIK no block based fs does this anyway, but its in the
comments of the function anyway just in case.

When we read some part of a file through pagecache, if there is a
pagecache of corresponding index but this page is not uptodate, read IO
is issued and this page will be uptodate.
I think this is good for pagesize == blocksize environment but there is
room for improvement on pagesize != blocksize environment. Because in
this case a page can have multiple buffers and even if a page is not
uptodate, some buffers can be uptodate.
So I suggest that when all buffers which correspond to a part of a file
that we want to read are uptodate, use this pagecache and copy data from
this pagecache to user buffer even if a page is not uptodate. This can
reduce read IO and improve system throughput.
I wrote a benchmark program and got result number with this program.
This benchmark do:
1: mount and open a test file.
2: create a 512MB file.
3: close a file and umount.
4: mount and again open a test file.
5: pwrite randomly 300000 times on a test file. offset is aligned
by IO size(1024bytes).
6: measure time of preading randomly 100000 times on a test file.
The result was:
2.6.26
330 sec
2.6.26-patched
226 sec
Arch:i386
Filesystem:ext3
Blocksize:1024 bytes
Memory: 1GB
On ext3/4, a file is written through buffer/block. So random read/write
mixed workloads or random read after random write workloads are optimized
with this patch under pagesize != blocksize environment. This test result
showed this.
The benchmark program is as follows:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <time.h>

main(void)
{
unsigned long i, offset, filesize;
int fd;
char buf[LEN];
time_t t1, t2;
if (mount("/dev/sda1", "/root/test1/", "ext3", 0, 0) < 0) {
perror("cannot mount\n");
exit(1);
}
memset(buf, 0, LEN);
fd = open("/root/test1/testfile", O_CREAT|O_RDWR|O_TRUNC);
if (fd < 0) {

Convert XIP to support non-struct page backed memory, using VM_MIXEDMAP for
the user mappings.
This requires the get_xip_page API to be changed to an address based one.
Improve the API layering a little bit too, while we're here.
This is required in order to support XIP filesystems on memory that isn't
backed with struct page (but memory with struct page is still supported too).

Stop the EXT2 filesystem from using iget() and read_inode(). Replace
ext2_read_inode() with ext2_iget(), and call that instead of iget().
ext2_iget() then uses iget_locked() directly and returns a proper error code
instead of an inode in the event of an error.
ext2_fill_super() returns any error incurred when getting the root inode
instead of EINVAL.

Andreas says:
This patch is now treating timestamps with the high bit set as negative
times (before Jan 1, 1970). This means we lose 1/2 of the possible range
of timestamps (lopping off 68 years before unix timestamp overflow -
now only 30 years away :-) to handle the extremely rare case of setting
timestamps into the distant past.
If we are only interested in fixing the underflow case, we could just
limit the values to 0 instead of storing negative values. At worst this
will skew the timestamp by a few hours for timezones in the far east
(files would still show Jan 1, 1970 in "ls -l" output).
That said, it seems 32-bit systems (mine at least) allow files to be set
into the past (01/01/1907 works fine) so it seems this patch is bringing
the x86_64 behaviour into sync with other kernels.
On the plus side, we have a patch that is ready to add nanosecond timestamps
to ext3 and as an added bonus adds 2 high bits to the on-disk timestamp so
this extends the maximum date to 2242.

This eliminates the i_blksize field from struct inode. Filesystems that want
to provide a per-inode st_blksize can do so by providing their own getattr
routine instead of using the generic_fillattr() function.
Note that some filesystems were providing pretty much random (and incorrect)
values for i_blksize.

Migrate a page with buffers without requiring writeback
This introduces a new address space operation migratepage() that may be used
by a filesystem to implement its own version of page migration.
A version is provided that migrates buffers attached to pages. Some
filesystems (ext2, ext3, xfs) are modified to utilize this feature.
The swapper address space operation are modified so that a regular
migrate_page() will occur for anonymous pages without writeback (migrate_pages
forces every anonymous page to have a swap entry).

Whilst trying to stress test a Promise SX8 card, we stumbled across
some nasty filesystem corruption in ext2. Our tests involved
creating an ext2 partition, mounting, running several concurrent
fsx's over it, umounting, and fsck'ing, all scripted[1]. The fsck
would always return with errors.
This regression was traced back to a change between 2.6.9 and
2.6.10, which moves the functionality of ext2_put_inode into
ext2_clear_inode. The attached patch reverses this change, and
eliminated the source of corruption.
Mingming Cao <cmm@us.ibm.com> said:
I think his patch for ext2 is correct. The corruption on ext3 is not the same
issue he saw on ext2. I believe that's the race between discard reservation
and reservation in-use that we already fixed it in 2.6.12- rc1.
For the problem related to ext2, at the time when we design reservation for
ext3, we decide we only need to discard the reservation at the last file
close, so we have ext3_discard_reservation on iput_final- >ext3_clear_inode.
The ext2 handle discard preallocation differently at that time, it discard the
preallocation at each iput(), not in input_final(), so we think it's
unnecessary to thrash it so frequently, and the right thing to do, as we did
for ext3 reservation, discard preallocation on last iput(). So we moved the
ext2_discard_preallocation from ext2_put_inode(0 to ext2_clear_inode.
Since ext2 preallocation is doing pre-allocation on disk, so it is possible
that at the unmount time, someone is still hold the reference of the inode, so
the preallocation for a file is not discard yet, so we still mark those blocks
allocated on disk, while they are not actually in the inode's block map, so
fsck will catch/fix that error later.
This is not a issue for ext3, as ext3 reservation(pre-allocation) is done in
memory.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
