Trond Myklebust 7f2f12d963 NFS: Simplify nfs_wb_page()

Trond Myklebust acdc53b214 NFS: Replace __nfs_write_mapping with sync_inode()
Now that we have correct COMMIT semantics in writeback_single_inode, we can
reduce and simplify nfs_wb_all(). Also replace nfs_wb_nocommit() with a
call to filemap_write_and_wait(), which doesn't need to hold the
inode->i_mutex.

With that done, we can eliminate nfs_write_mapping() altogether.

Trond Myklebust 2928db1ffe NFS: Ensure inode is always marked I_DIRTY_DATASYNC, if it has unstable pages
Since nfs_scan_list() doesn't wait for locked pages, we have a race in
which it is possible to end up with an inode that needs to send a COMMIT,
but which does not have the I_DIRTY_DATASYNC flag set.

Trond Myklebust 420e3646bb NFS: Reduce the number of unnecessary COMMIT calls
If the caller is doing a non-blocking flush, and there are still writebacks
pending on the wire, we can usually defer the COMMIT call until those
writes are done.

Also ensure that we honour the wbc->nonblocking flag.

Christoph Hellwig 6b2f3d1f76 vfs: Implement proper O_SYNC semantics
While Linux provided an O_SYNC flag basically since day 1, it took until
Linux 2.4.0-test12pre2 to actually get it implemented for filesystems,
since that day we had generic_osync_around with only minor changes and the
great "For now, when the user asks for O_SYNC, we'll actually give
O_DSYNC" comment.  This patch intends to actually give us real O_SYNC
semantics in addition to the O_DSYNC semantics.  After Jan's O_SYNC
patches which are required before this patch it's actually surprisingly
simple, we just need to figure out when to set the datasync flag to
vfs_fsync_range and when not.

This patch renames the existing O_SYNC flag to O_DSYNC while keeping it's
numerical value to keep binary compatibility, and adds a new real O_SYNC
flag.  To guarantee backwards compatiblity it is defined as expanding to
both the O_DSYNC and the new additional binary flag (__O_SYNC) to make
sure we are backwards-compatible when compiled against the new headers.

This also means that all places that don't care about the differences can
just check O_DSYNC and get the right behaviour for O_SYNC, too - only
places that actuall care need to check __O_SYNC in addition.  Drivers and
network filesystems have been updated in a fail safe way to always do the
full sync magic if O_DSYNC is set.  The few places setting O_SYNC for
lower layers are kept that way for now to stay failsafe.

We enforce that O_DSYNC is set when __O_SYNC is set early in the open path
to make sure we always get these sane options.

Note that parisc really screwed up their headers as they already define a
O_DSYNC that has always been a no-op.  We try to repair it by using it for
the new O_DSYNC and redefinining O_SYNC to send both the traditional
O_SYNC numerical value _and_ the O_DSYNC one.

Andy Adamson e608e79f1b nfs41: call free slot from nfs4_restart_rpc
nfs41_sequence_free_slot can be called multiple times on SEQUENCE operation
errors.
No reason to inline nfs4_restart_rpc

Reported-by: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@netapp.com>

nfs_writeback_done and nfs_readpage_retry call nfs4_restart_rpc outside the
error handler, and the slot is not freed prior to restarting in the rpc_prepare
state during session reset.

Fix this by moving the call to nfs41_sequence_free_slot from the error
path of nfs41_sequence_done into nfs4_restart_rpc, and by removing the test
for NFS4CLNT_SESSION_SETUP.
Always free slot and goto the rpc prepare state on async errors.

Trond Myklebust 1ae88b2e44 NFS: Fix an O_DIRECT Oops...
We can't call nfs_readdata_release()/nfs_writedata_release() without
first initialising and referencing args.context. Doing so inside
nfs_direct_read_schedule_segment()/nfs_direct_write_schedule_segment()
causes an Oops.

We should rather be calling nfs_readdata_free()/nfs_writedata_free() in
those cases.

Looking at the O_DIRECT code, the "struct nfs_direct_req" is already
referencing the nfs_open_context for us. Since the readdata and writedata
structures carry a reference to that, we can simplify things by getting rid
of the extra nfs_open_context references, so that we can replace all
instances of nfs_readdata_release()/nfs_writedata_release().

Trond Myklebust 72cb77f4a5 NFS: Throttle page dirtying while we're flushing to disk
The following patch is a combination of a patch by myself and Peter
Staubach.

Trond: If we allow other processes to dirty pages while a process is doing
a consistency sync to disk, we can end up never making progress.

Peter: Attached is a patch which addresses a continuing problem with
the NFS client generating out of order WRITE requests.  While
this is compliant with all of the current protocol
specifications, there are servers in the market which can not
handle out of order WRITE requests very well.  Also, this may
lead to sub-optimal block allocations in the underlying file
system on the server.  This may cause the read throughputs to
be reduced when reading the file from the server.

Peter: There has been a lot of work recently done to address out of
order issues on a systemic level.  However, the NFS client is
still susceptible to the problem.  Out of order WRITE
requests can occur when pdflush is in the middle of writing
out pages while the process dirtying the pages calls
generic_file_buffered_write which calls
generic_perform_write which calls
balance_dirty_pages_rate_limited which ends up calling
writeback_inodes which ends up calling back into the NFS
client to writes out dirty pages for the same file that
pdflush happens to be working with.

Trond Myklebust 73e3302f60 NFS: Fix nfs_wb_page() to always exit with an error or a clean page
It is possible for nfs_wb_page() to sometimes exit with 0 return value, yet
the page is left in a dirty state.
For instance in the case where the server rebooted, and the COMMIT request
failed, then all the previously "clean" pages which were cached by the
server, but were not guaranteed to have been writted out to disk,
have to be redirtied and resent to the server.
The fix is to have nfs_wb_page_priority() check that the page is clean
before it exits...

This fixes a condition that triggers the BUG_ON(PagePrivate(page)) in
nfs_create_request() when we're in the nfs_readpage() path.

Also eliminate a redundant BUG_ON(!PageLocked(page)) while we're at it. It
turns out that clear_page_dirty_for_io() has the exact same test.

Fred 6d884e8fc8 nfs: nfs_redirty_request
Both flush functions have the same error handling routine.  Pull
it out as a function.

Fred Isaman f8512ad0da nfs: don't ignore return value from nfs_pageio_add_request
Ignoring the return value from nfs_pageio_add_request can cause deadlocks.

In read path:
  call nfs_pageio_add_request from readpage_async_filler
  assume at this point that there are requests already in desc, that
    can't be merged with the current request.
  so nfs_pageio_doio is fired up to clear out desc.
  assume something goes wrong in setting up the io, so desc->pg_error is set.
  This causes nfs_pageio_add_request to return 0, *WITHOUT* adding the original
    request.
  BUT, since return code is ignored, readpage_async_filler assumes it has
    been added, and does nothing further, leaving page locked.
  do_generic_mapping_read will eventually call lock_page, resulting in deadlock

In write path:
  page is marked dirty by generic_perform_write
  nfs_writepages is called
  call nfs_pageio_add_request from nfs_page_async_flush
  assume at this point that there are requests already in desc, that
    can't be merged with the current request.
  so nfs_pageio_doio is fired up to clear out desc.
  assume something goes wrong in setting up the io, so desc->pg_error is set.
  This causes nfs_page_async_flush to return 0, *WITHOUT* adding the original
    request, yet marking the request as locked (PG_BUSY) and in writeback,
    clearing dirty marks.
  The next time a write is done to the page, deadlock will result as
    nfs_write_end calls nfs_update_request
