2012-10-17xfs: xfs_sync_data is redundant.Dave Chinner
We don't do any data writeback from XFS any more - the VFS is completely responsible for that, including for freeze. We can replace the remaining caller with a VFS level function that achieves the same thing, but without conflicting with current writeback work. This means we can remove the flush_work and xfs_flush_inodes() - the VFS functionality completely replaces the internal flush queue for doing this writeback work in a separate context to avoid stack overruns. This does have one complication - it cannot be called with page locks held. Hence move the flushing of delalloc space when ENOSPC occurs back up into xfs_file_aio_buffered_write when we don't hold any locks that will stall writeback. Unfortunately, writeback_inodes_sb_if_idle() is not sufficient to trigger delalloc conversion fast enough to prevent spurious ENOSPC whent here are hundreds of writers, thousands of small files and GBs of free RAM. Hence we need to use sync_sb_inodes() to block callers while we wait for writeback like the previous xfs_flush_inodes implementation did. That means we have to hold the s_umount lock here, but because this call can nest inside i_mutex (the parent directory in the create case, held by the VFS), we have to use down_read_trylock() to avoid potential deadlocks. In practice, this trylock will succeed on almost every attempt as unmount/remount type operations are exceedingly rare. Note: we always need to pass a count of zero to generic_file_buffered_write() as the previously written byte count. We only do this by accident before this patch by the virtue of ret always being zero when there are no errors. Make this explicit rather than needing to specifically zero ret in the ENOSPC retry case.

2012-09-26xfs: reduce code duplication handling inode32/64 optionsCarlos Maiolino
Add xfs_set_inode32() to be used to enable inode32 allocation mode. this will reduce the amount of duplicated code needed to mount/remount a filesystem with inode32 option. This patch also changes xfs_set_inode64() to return the maximum AG number that inodes can be allocated instead of set mp->m_maxagi by itself, so that the behaviour is the same as xfs_set_inode32(). This simplifies code that calls these functions and needs to know the maximum AG that inodes can be allocated in.

2012-03-14xfs: remove the global xfs_Gqm structureChristoph Hellwig
If we initialize the slab caches for the quota code when XFS is loaded there is no need for a global and reference counted quota manager structure. Drop all this overhead and also fix the error handling during quota initialization.

2011-08-12xfs: remove subdirectoriesChristoph Hellwig
Use the move from Linux 2.6 to Linux 3.x as an excuse to kill the annoying subdirectories in the XFS source code. Besides the large amount of file rename the only changes are to the Makefile, a few files including headers with the subdirectory prefix, and the binary sysctl compat code that includes a header under fs/xfs/ from kernel/.
