Add support for remounting a filesystem with the i_version option.
Signed-off-by: Mimi Zohar <zohar@us.ibm.com>

For execute permission on a regular files we need to check if file has
any execute bits at all, regardless of capabilites.
This check is normally performed by generic_permission() but was also
added to the case when the filesystem defines its own ->permission()
method. In the latter case the filesystem should be responsible for
performing this check.
Move the check from inode_permission() inside filesystems which are
not calling generic_permission().
Create a helper function execute_ok() that returns true if the inode
is a directory or if any execute bits are present in i_mode.
Also fix up the following code:
- coda control file is never executable
- sysctl files are never executable
- hfs_permission seems broken on MAY_EXEC, remove
- hfsplus_permission is eqivalent to generic_permission(), remove

To keep the size of changesets sane we split the switch by drivers;
to keep the damn thing bisectable we do the following:
1) rename the affected methods, add ones with correct
prototypes, make (few) callers handle both. That's this changeset.
2) for each driver convert to new methods. *ALL* drivers
are converted in this series.
3) kill the old (renamed) methods.
Note that it _is_ a flagday; all in-tree drivers are converted and by the
end of this series no trace of old methods remain. The only reason why
we do that this way is to keep the damn thing bisectable and allow per-driver
debugging if anything goes wrong.
New methods:
open(bdev, mode)
release(disk, mode)
ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg) /* Called without BKL */
compat_ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg)

But blkdev_issue_discard() still emits requests which are interpreted as
soft barriers, because naïve callers might otherwise issue subsequent
writes to those same sectors, which might cross on the queue (if they're
reallocated quickly enough).
Callers still _can_ issue non-barrier discard requests, but they have to
take care of queue ordering for themselves.

We may well want mkfs tools to use this to mark the whole device as
unwanted before they format it, for example.
The ioctl takes a pair of uint64_ts, which are start offset and length
in _bytes_. Although at the moment it might make sense for them both to
be in 512-byte sectors, I don't want to limit the ABI to that.

Some block devices benefit from a hint that they can forget the contents
of certain sectors. Add basic support for this to the block core, along
with a 'blkdev_issue_discard()' helper function which issues such
requests.
The caller doesn't get to provide an end_io functio, since
blkdev_issue_discard() will automatically split the request up into
multiple bios if appropriate. Neither does the function wait for
completion -- it's expected that callers won't care about when, or even
_if_, the request completes. It's only a hint to the device anyway. By
definition, the file system doesn't _care_ about these sectors any more.

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.

Basic vfs-level fiemap infrastructure, which sets up a new ->fiemap
inode operation.
Userspace can get extent information on a file via fiemap ioctl. As input,
the fiemap ioctl takes a struct fiemap which includes an array of struct
fiemap_extent (fm_extents). Size of the extent array is passed as
fm_extent_count and number of extents returned will be written into
fm_mapped_extents. Offset and length fields on the fiemap structure
(fm_start, fm_length) describe a logical range which will be searched for
extents. All extents returned will at least partially contain this range.
The actual extent offsets and ranges returned will be unmodified from their
offset and range on-disk.
The fiemap ioctl returns '0' on success. On error, -1 is returned and errno
is set. If errno is equal to EBADR, then fm_flags will contain those flags
which were passed in which the kernel did not understand. On all other
errors, the contents of fm_extents is undefined.
As fiemap evolved, there have been many authors of the vfs patch. As far as
I can tell, the list includes:

Rewrite grace period code to unify management of grace period across
lockd and nfsd. The current code has lockd and nfsd cooperate to
compute a grace period which is satisfactory to them both, and then
individually enforce it. This creates a slight race condition, since
the enforcement is not coordinated. It's also more complicated than
necessary.
Here instead we have lockd and nfsd each inform common code when they
enter the grace period, and when they're ready to leave the grace
period, and allow normal locking only after both of them are ready to
leave.
We also expect the locks_start_grace()/locks_end_grace() interface here
to be simpler to build on for future cluster/high-availability work,
which may require (for example) putting individual filesystems into
grace, or enforcing grace periods across multiple cluster nodes.

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>

#define LEN 1024

perror("cannot mount\n");
exit(1);
}
memset(buf, 0, LEN);
fd = open("/root/test1/testfile", O_CREAT|O_RDWR|O_TRUNC);
if (fd < 0) {

Add a new ia_valid flag: ATTR_TIMES_SET, to handle the
UTIMES_OMIT/UTIMES_NOW and UTIMES_NOW/UTIMES_OMIT cases. In these
cases neither ATTR_MTIME_SET nor ATTR_ATIME_SET is in the flags, yet
the POSIX draft specifies that permission checking is performed the
same way as if one or both of the times was explicitly set to a
timestamp.
See the path "vfs: utimensat(): fix error checking for
{UTIME_NOW,UTIME_OMIT} case" by Michael Kerrisk for the patch
introducing this behavior.
This is a cleanup, as well as allowing filesystems (NFS/fuse/...) to

Use a special error value FILE_LOCK_DEFERRED to mean that a locking
operation returned asynchronously. This is returned by
posix_lock_file() for sleeping locks to mean that the lock has been
queued on the block list, and will be woken up when it might become
available and needs to be retried (either fl_lmops->fl_notify() is
called or fl_wait is woken up).
f_op->lock() to mean either the above, or that the filesystem will
call back with fl_lmops->fl_grant() when the result of the locking
operation is known. The filesystem can do this for sleeping as well
as non-sleeping locks.
This is to make sure, that return values of -EAGAIN and -EINPROGRESS by
filesystems are not mistaken to mean an asynchronous locking.
This also makes error handling in fs/locks.c and lockd/svclock.c slightly
cleaner.

This patch introduces the new syscall pipe2 which is like pipe but it also
takes an additional parameter which takes a flag value. This patch implements
the handling of O_CLOEXEC for the flag. I did not add support for the new
syscall for the architectures which have a special sys_pipe implementation. I
think the maintainers of those archs have the chance to go with the unified
implementation but that's up to them.
The implementation introduces do_pipe_flags. I did that instead of changing
all callers of do_pipe because some of the callers are written in assembler.
I would probably screw up changing the assembly code. To avoid breaking code
do_pipe is now a small wrapper around do_pipe_flags. Once all callers are
changed over to do_pipe_flags the old do_pipe function can be removed.
The following test must be adjusted for architectures other than x86 and
x86-64 and in case the syscall numbers changed.

[Summary]
Split LRU-list of unused dentries to one per superblock to avoid soft
lock up during NFS mounts and remounting of any filesystem.
Previously I posted here:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/3/5/590
[Descriptions]
- background
dentry_unused is a list of dentries which are not referenced.
dentry_unused grows up when references on directories or files are
released. This list can be very long if there is huge free memory.
- the problem
When shrink_dcache_sb() is called, it scans all dentry_unused linearly
under spin_lock(), and if dentry->d_sb is differnt from given
superblock, scan next dentry. This scan costs very much if there are
many entries, and very ineffective if there are many superblocks.
IOW, When we need to shrink unused dentries on one dentry, but scans
unused dentries on all superblocks in the system. For example, we scan
500 dentries to unmount a filesystem, but scans 1,000,000 or more unused
dentries on other superblocks.
In our case , At mounting NFS*, shrink_dcache_sb() is called to shrink
unused dentries on NFS, but scans 100,000,000 unused dentries on
superblocks in the system such as local ext3 filesystems. I hear NFS
mounting took 1 min on some system in use.
* : NFS uses virtual filesystem in rpc layer, so NFS is affected by
this problem.
100,000,000 is possible number on large systems.
Per-superblock LRU of unused dentried can reduce the cost in
reasonable manner.
- How to fix
I found this problem is solved by David Chinner's "Per-superblock
unused dentry LRU lists V3"(1), so I rebase it and add some fix to
reclaim with fairness, which is in Andrew Morton's comments(2).
1) http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/5/25/318
2) http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/5/25/320
Split LRU-list of unused dentries to each superblocks. Then, NFS
mounting will check dentries under a superblock instead of all. But
this spliting will break LRU of dentry-unused. So, I've attempted to
make reclaim unused dentrins with fairness by calculate number of
dentries to scan on this sb based on following way
number of dentries to scan on this sb =
count * (number of dentries on this sb / number of dentries in the machine)
- ToDo
- I have to measuring performance number and do stress tests.
- When unmount occurs during prune_dcache(), scanning on same
superblock, It is unable to reach next superblock because it is gone
away. We restart scannig superblock from first one, it causes
unfairness of reclaim unused dentries on first superblock. But I think
this happens very rarely.
- Test Results
Result on 6GB boxes with excessive unused dentries.
Without patch:

James Bottomley warns that inclusion of linux/fs.h in a low level
driver was always a danger signal. This patch moves
memory_read_from_buffer() from fs.h to string.h and fixes includes in
existing memory_read_from_buffer() users.

This patch exports the 'sync_sb_inodes()' which is needed for
UBIFS because it has to force write-back from time to time.
Namely, the UBIFS budgeting subsystem forces write-back when
its pessimistic callculations show that there is no free
space on the media.
