If we add a new flag so that we can distinguish between the first page and the
tail pages then we can avoid to use page->private in the first page.
page->private == page for the first page, so there is no real information in
there.
Freeing up page->private makes the use of compound pages more transparent.
They become more usable like real pages. Right now we have to be careful f.e.
if we are going beyond PAGE_SIZE allocations in the slab on i386 because we
can then no longer use the private field. This is one of the issues that
cause us not to support debugging for page size slabs in SLAB.
Having page->private available for SLUB would allow more meta information in
the page struct. I can probably avoid the 16 bit ints that I have in there
right now.
Also if page->private is available then a compound page may be equipped with
buffer heads. This may free up the way for filesystems to support larger
blocks than page size.
We add PageTail as an alias of PageReclaim. Compound pages cannot currently
be reclaimed. Because of the alias one needs to check PageCompound first.
The RFC for the this approach was discussed at

Adds /proc/pid/clear_refs. When any non-zero number is written to this file,
pte_mkold() and ClearPageReferenced() is called for each pte and its
corresponding page, respectively, in that task's VMAs. This file is only
writable by the user who owns the task.
It is now possible to measure _approximately_ how much memory a task is using
by clearing the reference bits with
echo 1 > /proc/pid/clear_refs
and checking the reference count for each VMA from the /proc/pid/smaps output
at a measured time interval. For example, to observe the approximate change
in memory footprint for a task, write a script that clears the references
(echo 1 > /proc/pid/clear_refs), sleeps, and then greps for Pgs_Referenced and
extracts the size in kB. Add the sizes for each VMA together for the total
referenced footprint. Moments later, repeat the process and observe the
difference.
For example, using an efficient Mozilla:
accumulated time referenced memory
---------------- -----------------
0 s 408 kB
1 s 408 kB
2 s 556 kB
3 s 1028 kB
4 s 872 kB
5 s 1956 kB
6 s 416 kB
7 s 1560 kB
8 s 2336 kB
9 s 1044 kB
10 s 416 kB
This is a valuable tool to get an approximate measurement of the memory
footprint for a task.

Adds an additional unsigned long field to struct mem_size_stats called
'referenced'. For each pte walked in the smaps code, this field is
incremented by PAGE_SIZE if it has pte-reference bits.
An additional line was added to the /proc/pid/smaps output for each VMA to
indicate how many pages within it are currently marked as referenced or
accessed.

Extracts the pmd walker from smaps-specific code in fs/proc/task_mmu.c.
The new struct pmd_walker includes the struct vm_area_struct of the memory to
walk over. Iteration begins at the vma->vm_start and completes at
vma->vm_end. A pointer to another data structure may be stored in the private
field such as struct mem_size_stats, which acts as the smaps accumulator. For
each pmd in the VMA, the action function is called with a pointer to its
struct vm_area_struct, a pointer to the pmd_t, its start and end addresses,
and the private field.
The interface for walking pmd's in a VMA for fs/proc/task_mmu.c is now:
void for_each_pmd(struct vm_area_struct *vma,
void (*action)(struct vm_area_struct *vma,
pmd_t *pmd, unsigned long addr,
unsigned long end,
void *private),
void *private);
Since the pmd walker is now extracted from the smaps code, smaps_one_pmd() is
invoked for each pmd in the VMA. Its behavior and efficiency is identical to
the existing implementation.

__block_write_full_page is calling SetPageUptodate without the page locked.
This is unusual, but not incorrect, as PG_writeback is still set.
However the next patch will require that SetPageUptodate always be called with
the page locked. Simply don't bother setting the page uptodate in this case
(it is unusual that the write path does such a thing anyway). Instead just
leave it to the read side to bring the page uptodate when it notices that all
buffers are uptodate.

Ensure pages are uptodate after returning from read_cache_page, which allows
us to cut out most of the filesystem-internal PageUptodate calls.
I didn't have a great look down the call chains, but this appears to fixes 7
possible use-before uptodate in hfs, 2 in hfsplus, 1 in jfs, a few in
ecryptfs, 1 in jffs2, and a possible cleared data overwritten with readpage in
block2mtd. All depending on whether the filler is async and/or can return
with a !uptodate page.

We had a customer report that attempting to make CIFS mount with a null
username (i.e. doing an anonymous mount) doesn't work. Looking through the
code, it looks like CIFS expects a NULL username from userspace in order
to trigger an anonymous mount. The mount.cifs code doesn't seem to ever
pass a null username to the kernel, however.
It looks also like the kernel can take a sec=none option, but it only seems
to look at it if the username is already NULL. This seems redundant and
effectively makes sec=none useless.
The following patch makes sec=none force an anonymous mount.

Originally at http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/9/2/86
The recent change to "allow Windows blocking locks to be cancelled via a
CANCEL_LOCK call" introduced a new semaphore in struct cifsFileInfo,
lock_sem. However, semaphores used as mutexes are deprecated these days,
and there's no reason to add a new one to the kernel. Therefore, convert
lock_sem to a struct mutex (and also fix one indentation glitch on one of
the lines changed anyway).

Define a new IGNORE_IOCTL() to let a compat ioctl not be warned about even when

This is the same as COMPATIBLE_IOCTL internally, but better self documentng.
Valid reasons to use this:
- It is implemented with ->compat_ioctl on some device, but programs
call it on others too.
- The ioctl is not implemented in the native kernel, but programs

Try running this script in an NFS mounted directory (Client relatively
recent - 2.6.18 has the problem as does 2.6.20).
------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
#
# This script will produce the following errormessage from tar:
#
# tar: newdir/innerdir/innerfile: file changed as we read it
# create dirs
rm -rf nfstest
mkdir -p nfstest/dir/innerdir
# create files (should not be empty)
echo "Hello World!" >nfstest/dir/file
echo "Hello World!" >nfstest/dir/innerdir/innerfile
# problem only happens if we sleep before chmod
sleep 1
# change file modes
chmod -R a+r nfstest
# rename dir
mv nfstest/dir nfstest/newdir
# tar it
tar -cf nfstest/nfstest.tar -C nfstest newdir
# restore old dir name
mv nfstest/newdir nfstest/dir
--------------------------------------------------------
What happens:
The 'chmod -R' does a readdir_plus in each directory and the results
get cached in the page cache. It then updates the ctime on each file
by one second. When this happens, the post-op attributes are used to
update the ctime stored on the client to match the value in the kernel.
The 'mv' calls shrink_dcache_parent on the directory tree which
flushes all the dentries (so a new lookup will be required) but
doesn't flush the inodes or pagecache.
The 'tar' does a readdir on each directory, but (in the case of
'innerdir' at least) satisfies it from the pagecache and uses the
READDIRPLUS data to update all the inodes. In the case of
'innerdir/innerfile', the ctime is out of date.
'tar' then calls 'lstat' on innerdir/innerfile getting an old ctime.
It then opens the file (triggering a GETATTR), reads the content, and
then calls fstat to see if anything has changed. It finds that ctime
has changed and so complains.
The problem seems to be that the cache readdirplus info is kept around
for too long.
My patch below discards pagecache data for directories when
dentry_iput is called on them. This effectively removes the symptom
which convinces me that I correctly understand the problem. However
I'm not convinced that is a proper solution, as there could easily be
other races that trigger the same problem without being affected by
this 'fix'.
One possibility would be to require that readdirplus pagecache data be
only used *once* to instantiate an inode. Somehow it should then be
invalidated so that if the dentry subsequently disappears, it will
cause a new request to the server to fill in the stat data.
Another possibility is to compare the cache_change_attribute on the
inode with something similar for the readdirplus info and reject the
info from readdirplus if it is too old.
I haven't tried to implement these and would value other opinions
before I do.

Don't use uninitialsed value for fattr->time_start in readdirplus results.
The 'fattr' structure filled in by nfs3_decode_direct does not get a
value for ->time_start set.
Thus if an entry is for an inode that we already have in cache,
when nfs_readdir_lookup calls nfs_fhget, it will call nfs_refresh_inode
and may update the inode with out-of-date information.
Directories are read a page at a time, so each page could have a
different timestamp that "should" be used to set the time_start for
the fattr for info in that page. However storing the timestamp per
page is awkward. (We could stick in the first 4 bytes and only read 4092
bytes, but that is a bigger code change than I am interested it).
This patch ignores the readdir_plus attributes if a readdir finds the
information already in cache, and otherwise sets ->time_start to the time
the readdir request was sent to the server.
It might be nice to store - in the directory inode - the time stamp for
the earliest readdir request that is still in the page cache, so that we
don't ignore attribute data that we don't have to. This patch doesn't do
that.

READDIRPLUS can be a performance hindrance when the client is working with
large directories. In addition, some servers still have bugs in their
implementations (e.g. Tru64 returns wrong values for the fsid).

implementation in Apple's NFS client.

It is arguable whether NFSROOT will support IPv6, and thus whether
rpcb_getport_external needs to support rpcbind versions greater than 2.

The RPC buffer size estimation logic in net/sunrpc/clnt.c always
significantly overestimates the requirements for the buffer size.
A little instrumentation demonstrated that in fact rpc_malloc was never
allocating the buffer from the mempool, but almost always called kmalloc.
To compute the size of the RPC buffer more precisely, split p_bufsiz into
two fields; one for the argument size, and one for the result size.
Then, compute the sum of the exact call and reply header sizes, and split
the RPC buffer precisely between the two. That should keep almost all RPC
buffers within the 2KiB buffer mempool limit.
And, we can finally be rid of RPC_SLACK_SPACE!

NLM version 4 requests estimate the call and reply header sizes rather
conservatively, using the very maximum size allowed in the protocol even
though Linux always uses only a small fraction of the allowable space.
Reduce the size of caller and lock arguments to conserve RPC buffer space
while XDR encoding NLM4 arguments. Add compile-time checks to ensure the
hostname string won't overflow NLM protocol maximums.
