0373130d5b ext4: open-code ext4_mb_update_group_info
ext4_mb_update_group_info is only called in one place, and it's
extremely simple.  There's no reason to have it in a separate function
in a separate file as far as I can tell, it just obfuscates what's
really going on.

Perhaps it was intended to keep the grp->bb_* manipulation local to
mballoc.c but we're already accessing other grp-> fields in balloc.c
directly so this seems ok.

bf43d84b18 ext4: reject too-large filesystems on 32-bit kernels
ext4 will happily mount a > 16T filesystem on a 32-bit box, but
this is not safe; writes to the block device will wrap past 16T
and the page cache can't index past 16T (232 index * 4k pages).

Adding another test to the existing "too many sectors" test
should do the trick.

Add a comment, a relevant return value, and fix the reference
to the CONFIG_LBD(AF) option as well.

487caeef9f ext4: Fix possible deadlock between ext4_truncate() and ext4_get_blocks()
During truncate we are sometimes forced to start a new transaction as
the amount of blocks to be journaled is both quite large and hard to
predict. So far we restarted a transaction while holding i_data_sem
and that violates lock ordering because i_data_sem ranks below a
transaction start (and it can lead to a real deadlock with
ext4_get_blocks() mapping blocks in some page while having a
transaction open).

We fix the problem by dropping the i_data_sem before restarting the
transaction and acquire it afterwards. It's slightly subtle that this
works:

1) By the time ext4_truncate() is called, all the page cache for the
truncated part of the file is dropped so get_block() should not be
called on it (we only have to invalidate extent cache after we
reacquire i_data_sem because some extent from not-truncated part could
extend also into the part we are going to truncate).

2) Writes, migrate or defrag hold i_mutex so they are stopped for all
the time of the truncate.

This bug has been found and analyzed by Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>.

50797481a7 ext4: Avoid group preallocation for closed files
Currently the group preallocation code tries to find a large (512)
free block from which to do per-cpu group allocation for small files.
The problem with this scheme is that it leaves the filesystem horribly
fragmented.  In the worst case, if the filesystem is unmounted and
remounted (after a system shutdown, for example) we forget the fact
that wee were using a particular (now-partially filled) 512 block
extent.  So the next time we try to allocate space for a small file,
we will find *another* completely free 512 block chunk to allocate
small files.  Given that there are 32,768 blocks in a block group,
after 64 iterations of "mount, write one 4k file in a directory,
unmount", the block group will have 64 files, each separated by 511
blocks, and the block group will no longer have any free 512
completely free chunks of blocks for group preallocation space.

So if we try to allocate blocks for a file that has been closed, such
that we know the final size of the file, and the filesystem is not
busy, avoid using group preallocation.

4ba74d00a2 ext4: Fix bugs in mballoc's stream allocation mode
The logic around sbi->s_mb_last_group and sbi->s_mb_last_start was all
screwed up.  These fields were getting unconditionally all the time,
set even when stream allocation had not taken place, and if they were
being used when the file was smaller than s_mb_stream_request, which
is when the allocation should _not_ be doing stream allocation.

Fix this by determining whether or not we stream allocation should
take place once, in ext4_mb_group_or_file(), and setting a flag which
gets used in ext4_mb_regular_allocator() and ext4_mb_use_best_found().
This simplifies the code and assures that we are consistently using
(or not using) the stream allocation logic.

91cc219ad9 ext4: fix journal ref count in move_extent_par_page
move_extent_par_page calls a_ops->write_begin() to increase journal
handler's reference count. However, if either mext_replace_branches()
or ext4_get_block fails, the increased reference count isn't
decreased. This will cause a later attempt to umount of the fs to hang
forever. The patch addresses the issue by calling ext4_journal_stop()
if page is not NULL (which means a_ops->write_end() isn't invoked).

6487a9d3b5 ext4: More buffer head reference leaks
After the patch I posted last week regarding buffer head ref leaks in
no-journal mode, I looked at all the code that uses buffer heads and
searched for more potential leaks.

The patch below fixes the issues I found; these can occur even when a
journal is present.

The change to inode.c fixes a double release if
ext4_journal_get_create_access() fails.

The changes to namei.c are more complicated.  add_dirent_to_buf() will
release the input buffer head EXCEPT when it returns -ENOSPC.  There are
some callers of this routine that don't always do the brelse() in the event
that -ENOSPC is returned.  Unfortunately, to put this fix into ext4_add_entry()
required capturing the return value of make_indexed_dir() and
add_dirent_to_buf().

024eab4d5b ext4: Fix memory leak fix when mounting an ext4 filesystem
The allocation of the ext4_group_info array was moved to a new
function ext4_mb_add_group_info() in commit 5f21b0e6 so that online
resize would use a common (and correct) codepath.  Unfortunately, the
call to the new ext4_mb_add_group_info() function was added without
removing the code which originally allocated the array.  This caused a
memory leak each time an ext4 filesystem was mounted.

The fix is simple; remove the code that did the original allocation,
since it is no longer needed.

32a88aa1b6 fs: Assign bdi in super_block
We do this automatically in get_sb_bdev() from the set_bdev_super()
callback. Filesystems that have their own private backing_dev_info
must assign that in ->fill_super().

Note that ->s_bdi assignment is required for proper writeback!

c4a77a6c7d writeback: make wb_writeback() take an argument structure
We need to be able to pass in range_cyclic as well, so instead
of growing yet another argument, split the arguments into a
struct wb_writeback_args structure that we can use internally.
Also makes it easier to just copy all members to an on-stack
struct, since we can't access work after clearing the pending
bit.

f0fad8a530 writeback: merely wakeup flusher thread if work allocation fails for WB_SYNC_NONE
Since it's an opportunistic writeback and not a data integrity action,
don't punt to blocking writeback. Just wakeup the thread and it will
flush old data.

cb684b5bcd block: fix linkage problem with blk_iopoll and !CONFIG_BLOCK
kernel/built-in.o:(.data+0x17b0): undefined reference to `blk_iopoll_enabled'

Since the extern declaration makes the compile work, but the actual
symbol is missing when block/blk-iopoll.o isn't linked in.

fdaa45e95d slub: Fix build error in kmem_cache_open() with !CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG
This build bug:

 mm/slub.c: In function 'kmem_cache_open':
 mm/slub.c:2476: error: 'disable_higher_order_debug' undeclared (first use in this function)
 mm/slub.c:2476: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
 mm/slub.c:2476: error: for each function it appears in.)

Triggers because there's no !CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG definition for
disable_higher_order_debug.

e9d599220b Staging: remove sxg driver
Unfortunatly, the upstream company has abandonded development of this
driver.  So it's best to just remove the driver from the tree.

There is already an in-kernel driver for this hardware (since 2.6.30),
at76c50x-usb, and it supports all of the same devices.  So this driver
can now be deleted.
