So far i_mutex was ranking above dqonoff_mutex and i_mutex on quota files
was special and ranking below dqonoff_mutex (and several other locks).
However there's no real need for i_mutex on quota files to be special.
IO on quota files is serialized by dqio_mutex anyway so we don't need to
take i_mutex when writing to quota files. Other places where we take i_mutex
on quota file can accomodate standard i_mutex lock ranking, we only need
to change the lock ranking to be dqonoff_mutex > i_mutex which is a matter
of changing documentation because there's no place which would enforce
ordering in the other direction.

When CONFIG_QUOTA_DEBUG is enabled we call inode_get_rsv_space() from
add_dquot_ref() while holding i_lock. But inode_get_rsv_space() is trying
to get i_lock as well resulting in double lock.
Fix the problem by moving inode_get_rsv_space() call out of i_lock.

If journal superblock is written only in disk's caches and other transaction
starts reusing space of the transaction cleaned from the log, it can happen
blocks of a new transaction reach the disk before journal superblock. When
power failure happens in such case, subsequent journal replay would still try
to replay the old transaction but some of it's blocks may be already
overwritten by the new transaction. For this reason we must use WRITE_FUA when
updating log tail and we must first write new log tail to disk and update
in-memory information only after that.

There are some log tail updates that are not protected by j_checkpoint_mutex.
Some of these are harmless because they happen during startup or shutdown but
updates in journal_commit_transaction() and journal_flush() can really race
with other log tail updates (e.g. someone doing journal_flush() with someone
running cleanup_journal_tail()). So protect all log tail updates with
j_checkpoint_mutex.

There are three case of updating journal superblock. In the first case, we want
to mark journal as empty (setting s_sequence to 0), in the second case we want
to update log tail, in the third case we want to update s_errno. Split these
cases into separate functions. It makes the code slightly more straightforward
and later patches will make the distinction even more important.

Jan Kara removed 'sb->s_dirt' VFS flag references, so we do not need to
register the ext2 'ext2_write_super()' method in the VFS superblock operations,
because 'sb->s_dirt' won't be ever set to 1 and VFS won't ever call
'->write_super()' anyway. Thus, remove the method.
Tested using xfstests.

Places which modify superblock feature / state fields mark the superblock
buffer dirty so it is written out by flusher thread. Thus there's no need to
set s_dirt there.
The only other fields changing in the superblock are the numbers of free
blocks, free inodes and s_wtime. There's no real need to write (or even
compute) these periodically. Free blocks / inodes counters are recomputed on
every mount from group counters anyway and value of s_wtime is only
informational and imprecise anyway. So it should be enough to write these
opportunistically on mount, remount, umount, and sync_fs times.

Currently on unmount if we are mounted R/W, we first write the superblock to
the media if it is dirty, and then write it again, which is not optimal. This
patch makes ext2 write the superblock on unmount less times.

Currently we write out all journal buffers in WRITE_SYNC mode. This improves
performance for fsync heavy workloads but hinders performance when writes
are mostly asynchronous, most noticably it slows down readers and users
complain about slow desktop response etc.
So submit writes as asynchronous in the normal case and only submit writes as
WRITE_SYNC if we detect someone is waiting for current transaction commit.
I've gathered some numbers to back this change. The first is the read latency
test. It measures time to read 1 MB after several seconds of sleeping in
presence of streaming writes.
Top 10 times (out of 90) in us:
Before After
2131586 697473
1709932 557487
1564598 535642
1480462 347573
1478579 323153
1408496 222181
1388960 181273
1329565 181070
1252486 172832
1223265 172278
Average:
619377 82180
So the improvement in both maximum and average latency is massive.
I've measured fsync throughput by:
fs_mark -n 100 -t 1 -s 16384 -d /mnt/fsync/ -S 1 -L 4
in presence of streaming reader. The numbers (fsyncs/s) are:
Before After
9.9 6.3
6.8 6.0
6.3 6.2
5.8 6.1
So fsync performance seems unharmed by this change.

Commit f02e8a6596b7 ("module: Sort exported symbols") sorts symbols
placing each of them in its own elf section. This sorting and merging
into the canonical sections are done by the linker.
Unfortunately modpost to generate Module.symvers file parses vmlinux.o
(which is not linked yet) and all modules object files (which aren't
linked yet). These aren't sanitized by the linker yet. That breaks
modpost that can't detect license properly for modules.
This patch makes modpost aware of the new exported symbols structure.
[ This above is a slightly corrected version of the explanation of the
problem, copied from commit 62a2635610db ("modpost: Fix modpost's
license checking V3"). That commit fixed the problem for module
object files, but not for vmlinux.o. This patch fixes modpost for
vmlinux.o. ]

The task handoff notifier leaks task_struct since it never gets freed
after the callback returns NOTIFY_OK, which means it is responsible for
doing so.
It turns out the lowmemorykiller actually doesn't need this notifier at
all. It's used to prevent unnecessary killing by waiting for a thread
to exit as a result of lowmem_shrink(), however, it's possible to do
this in the same way the kernel oom killer works by setting TIF_MEMDIE
and avoid killing if we're still waiting for it to exit.
The kernel oom killer will already automatically set TIF_MEMDIE for
threads that are attempting to allocate memory that have a fatal signal.
The thread selected by lowmem_shrink() will have such a signal after the
lowmemorykiller sends it a SIGKILL, so this won't result in an
unnecessary use of memory reserves for the thread to exit.
This has the added benefit that we don't have to rely on
CONFIG_PROFILING to prevent needlessly killing tasks.

Add abort flag and use it to terminate processing when an exchange
is timed out or is reset. The abort flag is used in place of the
transport_generic_free_cmd function call in the reset and timeout
cases, because calling that function in that context would free
memory that was in use. The aborted flag allows the lifetime to
be managed in a more normal way, while truncating the processing.
This change eliminates a source of memory corruption which
manifested in a variety of ugly ways.

I have a new optimized x86 "strncpy_from_user()" that will use these
same helper functions for all the same reasons the name lookup code uses
them. This is preparation for that.
This moves them into an architecture-specific header file. It's
architecture-specific for two reasons:
- some of the functions are likely to want architecture-specific
implementations. Even if the current code happens to be "generic" in
the sense that it should work on any little-endian machine, it's
likely that the "multiply by a big constant and shift" implementation
is less than optimal for an architecture that has a guaranteed fast
bit count instruction, for example.
- I expect that if architectures like sparc want to start playing
around with this, we'll need to abstract out a few more details (in
particular the actual unaligned accesses). So we're likely to have
more architecture-specific stuff if non-x86 architectures start using
this.
(and if it turns out that non-x86 architectures don't start using
this, then having it in an architecture-specific header is still the
right thing to do, of course)

From Eric Dumazet.
12) Once we put a SKB into either the netlink receiver's queue or a

Fixes from Eric Dumazet.
13) PPP has this annoying behavior in that for every transmit call it
immediately stops the TX queue, then calls down into the next layer
to transmit the PPP frame.
But if that next layer can take it immediately, it just un-stops the
TX queue right before returning from the transmit method.
Besides being useless work, it makes several facilities unusable, in
particular things like the equalizers. Well behaved devices should
only stop the TX queue when they really are full, and in PPP's case
when it gets backlogged to the downstream device.
David Woodhouse therefore fixed PPP to not stop the TX queue until
it's downstream can't take data any more.
14) IFF_UNICAST_FLT got accidently lost in some recent stmmac driver
changes, re-add. From Marc Kleine-Budde.
15) Fix link flaps in ixgbe, from Eric W. Multanen.
16) Descriptor writeback fixes in e1000e from Matthew Vick.

The original XenoLinux code has always had things this way, and for
compatibility reasons (in particular with a subsequent pciback
adjustment) upstream Linux should behave the same way (allowing for two
distinct error indications to be returned by the backend).

Prior to 2.6.19 and as of 2.6.31, pci_enable_msix() can return a
positive value to indicate the number of vectors (less than the amount
requested) that can be set up for a given device. Returning this as an
operation value (secondary result) is fine, but (primary) operation
results are expected to be negative (error) or zero (success) according
to the protocol. With the frontend fixed to match the XenoLinux
behavior, the backend can now validly return zero (success) here,
passing the upper limit on the number of vectors in op->value.

There is an extra and unnecessary call to smp_processor_id()
in cpu_bringup(). Remove it.
