The garbage collection thread is strictly an optimisation. Everything it
does would also be done just-in-time in the context of something in
userspace trying to access the file system.
Sometimes, however, it's a pessimisation. Especially during early boot
when it's checksumming nodes and scanning inodes which are shortly going
to be pulled in by read_inode anyway. We end up building the rbtree of
node coverage twice for the same inode.
By switching to yield() instead of cond_resched() in the main loop, we
observe boot times on the OLPC system going down from about 100 seconds to
60.

For the case when nand_write_page fail with -EIO for the first page in an
eraseblock, jffs2_wbuf_recover ends up producing a BUG in jffs2_block_refile
as jeb->first_node is not yet set up (it's set up later in jffs2_wbuf_recover).
This BUG is not really a bug; it's just jffs2_wbuf_recover calling
jffs2_block_refile with the wrong second parameter.
This patch takes care of this situation.

This fixes a problem I encountered while running bonnie++. When you have one
thread that opens a file and starts to write to it, and then another thread that
tries to open and write to the same file, the second thread will loop forever
trying to grab the inode lock for that inode. Basically we come in through
generic_buffered_file_write, which calls gfs2_prepare_write, which then attempts
to grab the glock. Because we don't own the lock, gfs2_prepare_write gets
GLR_TRYFAILED, which returns AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE to generic_buffered_file_write.
At this point generic_buffered_file_write loops around again and immediately
retries the prepare_write. This means that the second process never gets off of
the processor in order to allow the process that holds the lock to finish its
work and let go of the lock. This patch makes gfs2_glock_nq schedule() if it
gets back a GLR_TRYFAILED, which resolves this problem.

Suspend deadlocks when trying to unregister /sys/block/sr0.
This comes from Oliver's commit 94bebf4d1b8e7719f0f3944c037a21cfd99a4af7
"Driver core: fix race in sysfs between sysfs_remove_file() and
read()/write()".
sysfs_write_file downs buffer->sem while calling flush_write_buffer, and
flushing that particular write buffer entails downing buffer->sem in
orphan_all_buffers, resulting in the obvious self-deadlock.

There are race issues around ext[34] xattr block release code.
ext[34]_xattr_release_block() checks the reference count of xattr block
(h_refcount) and frees that xattr block if it is the last one reference it.
Unlike ext2, the check of this counter is unprotected by any lock.
ext[34]_xattr_release_block() will free the mb_cache entry before freeing
that xattr block. There is a small window between the check for the re
h_refcount ==1 and the call to mb_cache_entry_free(). During this small
window another inode might find this xattr block from the mbcache and reuse
it, racing a refcount updates. The xattr block will later be freed by the
first inode without notice other inode is still use it. Later if that
block is reallocated as a datablock for other file, then more serious
problem might happen.
We need put a lock around places checking the refount as well to avoid
racing issue. Another place need this kind of protection is in
ext3_xattr_block_set(), where it will modify the xattr block content in-
the-fly if the refcount is 1 (means it's the only inode reference it).
This will also fix another issue: the xattr block may not get freed at all
if no lock is to protect the refcount check at the release time. It is
possible that the last two inodes could release the shared xattr block at
the same time. But both of them think they are not the last one so only
decreased the h_refcount without freeing xattr block at all.
We need to call lock_buffer() after ext3_journal_get_write_access() to
avoid deadlock (because the later will call lock_buffer()/unlock_buffer
() as well).

This problem was identified and fixed some time ago by Jeff Moyer but it fell
through the cracks somehow.
It is possible that a user space application could remove and re-create a
directory during a request. To avoid returning a failure from lookup
incorrectly when our current dentry is unhashed we need to check if another
positive, hashed dentry matching this one exists and if so return it instead
of a fail.

Jeff Moyer has identified a race between mount and expire.
What happens is that during an expire the situation can arise that a directory
is removed and another lookup is done before the expire issues a completion
status to the kernel module. In this case, since the the lookup gets a new
dentry, it doesn't know that there is an expire in progress and when it posts
its mount request, matches the existing expire request and waits for its
completion. ENOENT is then returned to user space from lookup (as the dentry
passed in is now unhashed) without having performed the mount request.
The solution used here is to keep track of dentrys in this unhashed state and
reuse them, if possible, in order to preserve the flags. Additionally, this
infrastructure will provide the framework for the reintroduction of caching of
mount fails removed earlier in development.

nobh_prepare_write leaks data similarly to how simple_prepare_write did. Fix
by not marking the page uptodate until nobh_commit_write time. Again, this
could break weird use-cases, but none appear to exist in the tree.
We can safely remove the set_page_dirty, because as the comment says,
nobh_commit_write does set_page_dirty. If a filesystem wants to allocate
backing store for a page dirtied via mmap, page_mkwrite is the suggested
approach.

simple_prepare_write leaks uninitialised kernel data. This happens because
the it leaves an uninitialised "hole" over the part of the page that the
write is expected to go to. This is fine, but it then marks the page
uptodate, which means a concurrent read can come in and copy the
uninitialised memory into userspace before it written to.
Fix it by simply marking it uptodate in simple_commit_write instead, after
the hole has been filled in. This could theoretically break an fs that
uses simple_prepare_write and not simple_commit_write, and that relies on
the incorrect simple_prepare_write behaviour. Luckily, none of those
exists in the tree.
