c42de9dd67 NFS: Fix a race in nfs_sync_inode()
Kudos to Neil Brown for spotting the problem:

"in nfs_sync_inode, there is effectively the sequence:

   nfs_wait_on_requests
   nfs_flush_inode
   nfs_commit_inode

 This seems a bit racy to me as if the only requests are on the
 ->commit list, and nfs_commit_inode is called separately after
 nfs_wait_on_requests completes, and before nfs_commit_inode start
 (say: by nfs_write_inode) then none of these function will return
 >0, yet there will be some pending request that aren't waited for."

The solution is to search for requests to wait upon, search for dirty
requests, and search for uncommitted requests while holding the
nfsi->req_lock

The patch also cleans up nfs_sync_inode(), getting rid of the redundant
FLUSH_WAIT flag. It turns out that we were always setting it.

26bcbf965f lockd: stop abusing file_lock_list
Currently lockd directly access the file_lock_list from fs/locks.c.
It does so to mark locks granted or reclaimable.  This is very
suboptimal, because a) lockd needs to poke into locks.c internals, and
b) it needs to iterate over all locks in the system for marking locks
granted or reclaimable.

This patch adds lists for granted and reclaimable locks to the nlm_host
structure instead, and adds locks to those.

nlmclnt_lock:
	now adds the lock to h_granted instead of setting the
	NFS_LCK_GRANTED, still O(1)

nlmclnt_mark_reclaim:
	goes away completely, replaced by a list_splice_init.
	Complexity reduced from O(locks in the system) to O(1)

reclaimer:
	iterates over h_reclaim now, complexity reduced from
	O(locks in the system) to O(locks per nlm_host)

fad6149041 nfs: Use UNSTABLE + COMMIT for NFS O_DIRECT writes
Currently NFS O_DIRECT writes use FILE_SYNC so that a COMMIT is not
necessary.  This simplifies the internal logic, but this could be a
difficult workload for some servers.

Instead, let's send UNSTABLE writes, and after they all complete, send a
COMMIT for the dirty range.  After the COMMIT returns successfully, then do
the wake_up or fire off aio_complete().

Test plan:
Async direct I/O tests against Solaris (or any server that requires
committed unstable writes).  Reboot server during test.

462d5b3296 NFS: make direct write path generate write requests concurrently
Duplicate infrastructure from direct read path that will allow write
path to generate multiple write requests concurrently.  This will
enable us to add support for aio in this path.

Temporarily we will lose the ability to do UNSTABLE writes followed by
a COMMIT in the direct write path.  However, all applications I am
aware of that use NFS O_DIRECT currently write in relatively small
chunks, so this should not be inconvenient in any way.

788e7a89a0 NFS: Cleanup of NFS write code in preparation for asynchronous o_direct
This patch inverts the callback hierarchy for NFS write calls.

Instead of having the NFSv2/v3/v4-specific code set up the RPC callback
ops, we allow the original caller to do so. This allows for more
flexibility w.r.t. how to set up and tear down the nfs_write_data
structure while still allowing the NFSv3/v4 code to perform error
handling.

The greater flexibility is needed by the asynchronous O_DIRECT code, which
wants to be able to hold on to the original nfs_write_data structures after
the WRITE RPC call has completed in order to be able to replay them if the
COMMIT call determines that the server has rebooted.

7117bf3dfb lockd: Remove FL_LOCKD flag
Currently lockd identifies its own locks using the FL_LOCKD flag.  This
doesn't scale well to multiple lock managers--if we did this in nfsv4 too,
for example, we'd be left with only one free flag bit.

Instead, we just check whether the file manager ops (fl_lmops) set on this
lock are our own.

The only use for this is in nlm_traverse_locks, which uses it to find locks
that need cleaning up when freeing a host or a file.

In the long run it might be nice to do reference counting instead of
traversing all the locks like this....

8dc7c3115b locks,lockd: fix race in nlmsvc_testlock
posix_test_lock() returns a pointer to a struct file_lock which is unprotected
and can be removed while in use by the caller.  Move the conflicting lock from
the return to a parameter, and copy the conflicting lock.

In most cases the caller ends up putting the copy of the conflicting lock on
the stack.  On i386, sizeof(struct file_lock) appears to be about 100 bytes.
We're assuming that's reasonable.

For example, some 4-port card or mother board designs have 5704 behind
the 5714.

All devices behind the EPB require the 40-bit DMA workaround.

c7c694d196 [AX.25]: Fix potencial memory hole.
If the AX.25 dialect chosen by the sysadmin is set to DAMA master / 3
(or DAMA slave / 2, if CONFIG_AX25_DAMA_SLAVE=n) ax25_kick() will fall
through the switch statement without calling ax25_send_iframe() or any
other function that would eventually free skbn thus leaking the packet.

Fix by restricting the sysctl inferface to allow only actually supported
AX.25 dialects.

The system administration mistake needed for this to happen is rather
unlikely, so this is an uncritical hole.

a904f74785 [MIPS] Sibyte: Fix race in sb1250_gettimeoffset().
From Dave Johnson <djohnson+linuxmips@sw.starentnetworks.com>:
    
sb1250_gettimeoffset() simply reads the current cpu 0 timer remaining
value, however once this counter reaches 0 and the interrupt is raised,
it immediately resets and begins to count down again.
    
If sb1250_gettimeoffset() is called on cpu 1 via do_gettimeofday() after
the timer has reset but prior to cpu 0 processing the interrupt and
taking write_seqlock() in timer_interrupt() it will return a full value
(or close to it) causing time to jump backwards 1ms. Once cpu 0 handles
the interrupt and timer_interrupt() gets far enough along it will jump
forward 1ms.
    
Fix this problem by implementing mips_hpt_*() on sb1250 using a spare
timer unrelated to the existing periodic interrupt timers. It runs at
1Mhz with a full 23bit counter.  This eliminated the custom
do_gettimeoffset() for sb1250 and allowed use of the generic
fixed_rate_gettimeoffset() using mips_hpt_*() and timerhi/timerlo.

This patch removes the reliance of iwmmxt on hand coded alignments.
Since thread_info is always 8K aligned, specifying that fpstate is
8-byte aligned achieves the same effect without needing to resort
to hand coded alignments.

7cd9013be6 [PATCH] remove __put_task_struct_cb export again
The patch '[PATCH] RCU signal handling' [1] added an export for
__put_task_struct_cb, a put_task_struct helper newly introduced in that
patch.  But the put_task_struct couldn't be used modular previously as
__put_task_struct wasn't exported.  There are not callers of it in modular
code, and it shouldn't be exported because we don't want drivers to hold
references to task_structs.

This patch removes the export and folds __put_task_struct into
__put_task_struct_cb as there's no other caller.

0adb25d2e7 [PATCH] ext3: ext3_symlink should use GFP_NOFS allocations inside
This patch fixes illegal __GFP_FS allocation inside ext3 transaction in
ext3_symlink().  Such allocation may re-enter ext3 code from
try_to_free_pages.  But JBD/ext3 code keeps a pointer to current journal
handle in task_struct and, hence, is not reentrable.

This bug led to "Assertion failure in journal_dirty_metadata()" messages.

8fce4d8e3b [PATCH] slab: Node rotor for freeing alien caches and remote per cpu pages.
The cache reaper currently tries to free all alien caches and all remote
per cpu pages in each pass of cache_reap.  For a machines with large number
of nodes (such as Altix) this may lead to sporadic delays of around ~10ms.
Interrupts are disabled while reclaiming creating unacceptable delays.

This patch changes that behavior by adding a per cpu reap_node variable.
Instead of attempting to free all caches, we free only one alien cache and
the per cpu pages from one remote node.  That reduces the time spend in
cache_reap.  However, doing so will lengthen the time it takes to
completely drain all remote per cpu pagesets and all alien caches.  The
time needed will grow with the number of nodes in the system.  All caches
are drained when they overflow their respective capacity.  So the drawback
here is only that a bit of memory may be wasted for awhile longer.

Details:

1. Rename drain_remote_pages to drain_node_pages to allow the specification
   of the node to drain of pcp pages.

2. Add additional functions init_reap_node, next_reap_node for NUMA
   that manage a per cpu reap_node counter.

3. Add a reap_alien function that reaps only from the current reap_node.

For us this seems to be a critical issue.  Holdoffs of an average of ~7ms
cause some HPC benchmarks to slow down significantly.  F.e.  NAS parallel
slows down dramatically.  NAS parallel has a 12-16 seconds runtime w/o rotor
compared to 5.8 secs with the rotor patches.  It gets down to 5.05 secs with
the additional interrupt holdoff reductions.
