2007-05-24NFS: Avoid a deadlock situation on writeTrond Myklebust
When processes are allowed to attempt to lock a non-contiguous range of nfs write requests, it is possible for generic_writepages to 'wrap round' the address space, and call writepage() on a request that is already locked by the same process. We avoid the deadlock by checking if the page index is contiguous with the list of nfs write requests that is already held in our nfs_pageio_descriptor prior to attempting to lock a new request.

2007-05-08nfs: fix congestion control: use atomic_longsPeter Zijlstra
Change the atomic_t in struct nfs_server to atomic_long_t in anticipation of machines that can handle 8+TB of (4K) pages under writeback. However I suspect other things in NFS will start going *bang* by then.

2007-04-30NFS: Fix a race when doing NFS write coalescingTrond Myklebust
Currently we do write coalescing in a very inefficient manner: one pass in generic_writepages() in order to lock the pages for writing, then one pass in nfs_flush_mapping() and/or nfs_sync_mapping_wait() in order to gather the locked pages for coalescing into RPC requests of size "wsize". In fact, it turns out there is actually a deadlock possible here since we only start I/O on the second pass. If the user signals the process while we're in nfs_sync_mapping_wait(), for instance, then we may exit before starting I/O on all the requests that have been queued up.

2007-04-20NFS: Fix the 'desynchronized value of nfs_i.ncommit' errorTrond Myklebust
Redirtying a request that is already marked for commit will screw up the accounting for NR_UNSTABLE_NFS as well as nfs_i.ncommit. Ensure that all requests on the commit queue are labelled with the PG_NEED_COMMIT flag, and avoid moving them onto the dirty list inside nfs_page_mark_flush(). Also inline nfs_mark_request_dirty() into nfs_page_mark_flush() for atomicity reasons. Avoid dropping the spinlock until we're done marking the request in the radix tree and have added it to the ->dirty list.

2007-04-14NFS: Ensure PG_writeback is cleared when writeback failsTrond Myklebust
If the writebacks are cancelled via nfs_cancel_dirty_list, or due to the memory allocation failing in nfs_flush_one/nfs_flush_multi, then we must ensure that the PG_writeback flag is cleared. Also ensure that we actually own the PG_writeback flag whenever we schedule a new writeback by making nfs_set_page_writeback() return the value of test_set_page_writeback(). The PG_writeback page flag ends up replacing the functionality of the PG_FLUSHING nfs_page flag, so we rip that out too.

2007-03-16[PATCH] nfs: fix congestion controlPeter Zijlstra
The current NFS client congestion logic is severly broken, it marks the backing device congested during each nfs_writepages() call but doesn't mirror this in nfs_writepage() which makes for deadlocks. Also it implements its own waitqueue. Replace this by a more regular congestion implementation that puts a cap on the number of active writeback pages and uses the bdi congestion waitqueue. Also always use an interruptible wait since it makes sense to be able to SIGKILL the process even for mounts without 'intr'.

We will want to allow nfs_writepage() to distinguish between pages that have been marked as dirty by the VM, and those that have been marked as dirty by nfs_updatepage().

2006-10-20[PATCH] NFS: Fix oops in nfs_cancel_commit_listTrond Myklebust
Fix two bugs: - nfs_inode_remove_request will call nfs_clear_request, so we cannot reference req->wb_page after it. Move the call to dec_zone_page_state so that it occurs while req->wb_page is still valid. - Calling nfs_clear_page_writeback is unnecessary since the radix tree tags will have been cleared by the call to nfs_inode_remove_request.

2006-10-20[PATCH] separate bdi congestion functions from queue congestion functionsAndrew Morton
Separate out the concept of "queue congestion" from "backing-dev congestion". Congestion is a backing-dev concept, not a queue concept. The blk_* congestion functions are retained, as wrappers around the core backing-dev congestion functions. This proper layering is needed so that NFS can cleanly use the congestion functions, and so that CONFIG_BLOCK=n actually links.
