7ad9bb651f ext4: Fix initalization of s_flex_groups
The s_flex_groups array should have been initialized using atomic_add
to sum up the free counts from the block groups that make up a
flex_bg.  By using atomic_set, the value of the s_flex_groups array
was set to the values of the last block group in the flex_bg.  

The impact of this bug is that the block and inode allocation
algorithms might not pick the best flex_bg for new allocation.

Thanks to Damien Guibouret for pointing out this problem!

93c82d5750 Btrfs: zero page past end of inline file items
When btrfs_get_extent is reading inline file items for readpage,
it needs to copy the inline extent into the page.  If the
inline extent doesn't cover all of the page, that means there
is a hole in the file, or that our file is smaller than one
page.

readpage does zeroing for the case where the file is smaller than one
page, but nobody is currently zeroing for the case where there is
a hole after the inline item.

This commit changes btrfs_get_extent to zero fill the page past
the end of the inline item.

a1ed835e1a Btrfs: Fix extent replacment race
Data COW means that whenever we write to a file, we replace any old
extent pointers with new ones.  There was a window where a readpage
might find the old extent pointers on disk and cache them in the
extent_map tree in ram in the middle of a given write replacing them.

Even though both the readpage and the write had their respective bytes
in the file locked, the extent readpage inserts may cover more bytes than
it had locked down.

This commit closes the race by keeping the new extent pinned in the extent
map tree until after the on-disk btree is properly setup with the new
extent pointers.

8b62b72b26 Btrfs: Use PagePrivate2 to track pages in the data=ordered code.
Btrfs writes go through delalloc to the data=ordered code.  This
makes sure that all of the data is on disk before the metadata
that references it.  The tracking means that we have to make sure
each page in an extent is fully written before we add that extent into
the on-disk btree.

This was done in the past by setting the EXTENT_ORDERED bit for the
range of an extent when it was added to the data=ordered code, and then
clearing the EXTENT_ORDERED bit in the extent state tree as each page
finished IO.

One of the reasons we had to do this was because sometimes pages are
magically dirtied without page_mkwrite being called.  The EXTENT_ORDERED
bit is checked at writepage time, and if it isn't there, our page become
dirty without going through the proper path.

These bit operations make for a number of rbtree searches for each page,
and can cause considerable lock contention.

This commit switches from the EXTENT_ORDERED bit to use PagePrivate2.
As pages go into the ordered code, PagePrivate2 is set on each one.
This is a cheap operation because we already have all the pages locked
and ready to go.

As IO finishes, the PagePrivate2 bit is cleared and the ordered
accoutning is updated for each page.

At writepage time, if the PagePrivate2 bit is missing, we go into the
writepage fixup code to handle improperly dirtied pages.

9655d2982b Btrfs: use a cached state for extent state operations during delalloc
This changes the btrfs code to find delalloc ranges in the extent state
tree to use the new state caching code from set/test bit.  It reduces
one of the biggest causes of rbtree searches in the writeback path.

test_range_bit is also modified to take the cached state as a starting
point while searching.

d5550c6315 Btrfs: don't lock bits in the extent tree during writepage
At writepage time, we have the page locked and we have the
extent_map entry for this extent pinned in the extent_map tree.
So, the page can't go away and its mapping can't change.

There is no need for the extra extent_state lock bits during writepage.

2c64c53d8d Btrfs: cache values for locking extents
Many of the btrfs extent state tree users follow the same pattern.
They lock an extent range in the tree, do some operation and then
unlock.

This translates to at least 2 rbtree searches, and maybe more if they
are doing operations on the extent state tree.  A locked extent
in the tree isn't going to be merged or changed, and so we can
safely return the extent state structure as a cached handle.

This changes set_extent_bit to give back a cached handle, and also
changes both set_extent_bit and clear_extent_bit to use the cached
handle if it is available.

1edbb734b4 Btrfs: reduce CPU usage in the extent_state tree
Btrfs is currently mirroring some of the page state bits into
its extent state tree.  The goal behind this was to use it in supporting
blocksizes other than the page size.

But, we don't currently support that, and we're using quite a lot of CPU
on the rb tree and its spin lock.  This commit starts a series of
cleanups to reduce the amount of work done in the extent state tree as
part of each IO.

This commit:

* Adds the ability to lock an extent in the state tree and also set
other bits.  The idea is to do locking and delalloc in one call

* Removes the EXTENT_WRITEBACK and EXTENT_DIRTY bits.  Btrfs is using
a combination of the page bits and the ordered write code for this
instead.

e48c465bb3 Btrfs: Fix new state initialization order
As the extent state tree is manipulated, there are call backs
that are used to take extra actions when different state bits are set
or cleared.  One example of this is a counter for the total number
of delayed allocation bytes in a single inode and in the whole FS.

When new states are inserted, this callback is being done before we
properly setup the new state.  This hasn't caused problems before
because the lock bit was always done first, and the existing call backs
don't care about the lock bit.

This patch makes sure the state is properly setup before using the
callback, which is important for later optimizations that do more work
without using the lock bit.

890871be85 Btrfs: switch extent_map to a rw lock
There are two main users of the extent_map tree.  The
first is regular file inodes, where it is evenly spread
between readers and writers.

The second is the chunk allocation tree, which maps blocks from
logical addresses to phyiscal ones, and it is 99.99% reads.

The mapping tree is a point of lock contention during heavy IO
workloads, so this commit switches things to a rw lock.

57fd5a5ff8 Btrfs: tweak congestion backoff
The btrfs io submission thread tries to back off congested devices in
favor of rotating off to another disk.

But, it tries to make sure it submits at least some IO before rotating
on (the others may be congested too), and so it has a magic number of
requests it tries to write before it hops.

This makes the magic number smaller.  Testing shows that we're spending
too much time on congested devices and leaving the other devices idle.

a97adc9fff Btrfs: use larger nr_to_write for larger extents
When btrfs fills a large delayed allocation extent, it is a good idea
to try and convince the write_cache_pages caller to go ahead and
write a good chunk of that extent.  The extra IO is basically free
because we know it is contiguous.

4e3f9c5042 Btrfs: keep irqs on more often in the worker threads
The btrfs worker thread spinlock was being used both for the
queueing of IO and for the processing of ordered events.

The ordered events never happen from end_io handlers, and so they
don't need to use the _irq version of spinlocks.  This adds a
dedicated lock to the ordered lists so they don't have to run
with irqs off.

40431d6c12 Btrfs: optimize set extent bit
The Btrfs set_extent_bit call currently searches the rbtree
every time it needs to find more extent_state objects to fill
the requested operation.

This adds a simple test with rb_next to see if the next object
in the tree was adjacent to the one we just found.  If so,
we skip the search and just use the next object.

9042846bc7 Btrfs: Allow worker threads to exit when idle
The Btrfs worker threads don't currently die off after they have
been idle for a while, leading to a lot of threads sitting around
doing nothing for each mount.

Also, they are unable to start atomically (from end_io hanlders).

This commit reworks the worker threads so they can be started
from end_io handlers (just setting a flag that asks for a thread
to be added at a later date) and so they can exit if they
have been idle for a long time.

03ba3782e8 writeback: switch to per-bdi threads for flushing data
This gets rid of pdflush for bdi writeout and kupdated style cleaning.
pdflush writeout suffers from lack of locality and also requires more
threads to handle the same workload, since it has to work in a
non-blocking fashion against each queue. This also introduces lumpy
behaviour and potential request starvation, since pdflush can be starved
for queue access if others are accessing it. A sample ffsb workload that
does random writes to files is about 8% faster here on a simple SATA drive
during the benchmark phase. File layout also seems a LOT more smooth in
vmstat:

A 10 disk test with btrfs performs 26% faster with per-bdi flushing. A
SSD based writeback test on XFS performs over 20% better as well, with
the throughput being very stable around 1GB/sec, where pdflush only
manages 750MB/sec and fluctuates wildly while doing so. Random buffered
writes to many files behave a lot better as well, as does random mmap'ed
writes.

A separate thread is added to sync the super blocks. In the long term,
adding sync_supers_bdi() functionality could get rid of this thread again.

66f3b8e2e1 writeback: move dirty inodes from super_block to backing_dev_info
This is a first step at introducing per-bdi flusher threads. We should
have no change in behaviour, although sb_has_dirty_inodes() is now
ridiculously expensive, as there's no easy way to answer that question.
Not a huge problem, since it'll be deleted in subsequent patches.

- sync_inodes_sb(), which writes out all dirty inodes on this super_block

0e3d2a6313 ext4: Fix async commit mode to be safe by using a barrier
Previously the journal_async_commit mount option was equivalent to
using barrier=0 (and just as unsafe).  This patch fixes it so that we
eliminate the barrier before the commit block (by not using ordered
mode), and explicitly issuing an empty barrier bio after writing the
commit block.  Because of the journal checksum, it is safe to do this;
if the journal blocks are not all written before a power failure, the
checksum in the commit block will prevent the last transaction from
being replayed.

Using the fs_mark benchmark, using journal_async_commit shows a 50%
improvement:

FSUse%        Count         Size    Files/sec     App Overhead
     8         1000        10240         30.5            28242

9f0ab4a3f0 binfmt_elf: fix PT_INTERP bss handling
In fs/binfmt_elf.c, load_elf_interp() calls padzero() for .bss even if
the PT_LOAD has no PROT_WRITE and no .bss.  This generates EFAULT.

Here is a small test case.  (Yes, there are other, useful PT_INTERP
which have only .text and no .data/.bss.)

	----- ptinterp.S
	_start: .globl _start
		 nop
		 int3
	-----
	$ gcc -m32 -nostartfiles -nostdlib -o ptinterp ptinterp.S
	$ gcc -m32 -Wl,--dynamic-linker=ptinterp -o hello hello.c
	$ ./hello
	Segmentation fault  # during execve() itself

	After applying the patch:
	$ ./hello
	Trace trap  # user-mode execution after execve() finishes

If the ELF headers are actually self-inconsistent, then dying is fine.
But having no PROT_WRITE segment is perfectly normal and correct if
there is no segment with p_memsz > p_filesz (i.e. bss).  John Reiser
suggested checking for PROT_WRITE in the bss logic.  I think it makes
most sense to simply apply the bss logic only when there is bss.

This patch looks less trivial than it is due to some reindentation.
It just moves the "if (last_bss > elf_bss) {" test up to include the
partial-page bss logic as well as the more-pages bss logic.

0dcd18e407 UBIFS: check ubifs_scan error codes better
The 'ubifs_scan()' function returns -EUCLEAN if something is corrupted

in few places UBIFS does not check the error codes and runs recovery.

348709bad3 UBIFS: do not print scary error messages needlessly
At the moment UBIFS print large and scary error messages and
flash dumps in case of nearly any corruption, even if it is
a recoverable corruption. For example, if the master node is
corrupted, ubifs_scan() prints error dumps, then UBIFS recovers
just fine and goes on.

This patch makes UBIFS print scary error messages only in
real cases, which are not recoverable. It adds 'quiet' argument
to the 'ubifs_scan()' function, so the caller may ask 'ubi_scan()'
not to print error messages if the caller is able to do recovery.

91ac6f4331 ext4: Make non-journal fsync work properly
Teach ext4_write_inode() and ext4_do_update_inode() about non-journal
mode:  If we're not using a journal, ext4_write_inode() now calls
ext4_do_update_inode() (after getting the iloc via ext4_get_inode_loc())
with a new "do_sync" parameter.  If that parameter is nonzero _and_ we're
not using a journal, ext4_do_update_inode() calls sync_dirty_buffer()
instead of ext4_handle_dirty_metadata().

This problem was found in power-fail testing, checking the amount of
loss of files and blocks after a power failure when using fsync() and
when not using fsync().  It turned out that using fsync() was actually
worse than not doing so, possibly because it increased the likelihood
that the inodes would remain unflushed and would therefore be lost at
the power failure.
