Invalidate sb->s_bdev on remount,ro.
Fixes a problem reported by Jorge Boncompte who is seeing corruption
trying to snapshot a minix filesystem image. Some filesystems modify
their metadata via a path other than the bdev buffer cache (eg. they may
use a private linear mapping for their metadata, or implement directories
in pagecache, etc). Also, file data modifications usually go to the bdev
via their own mappings.
These updates are not coherent with buffercache IO (eg. via /dev/bdev)
and never have been. However there could be a reasonable expectation that
after a mount -oremount,ro operation then the buffercache should
subsequently be coherent with previous filesystem modifications.
So invalidate the bdev mappings on a remount,ro operation to provide a
coherency point.
The problem was exposed when we switched the old rd to brd because old rd
didn't really function like a normal block device and updates to rd via
mappings other than the buffercache would still end up going into its
buffercache. But the same problem has always affected other "normal"
block devices, including loop.

Filesystem code usually destroys the option buffer while

Currently we held s_umount while a filesystem is frozen, despite that we
might return to userspace and unlock it from a different process. Instead
grab an active reference to keep the file system busy and add an explicit
check for frozen filesystems in remount and reject the remount instead
of blocking on s_umount.
Add a new get_active_super helper to super.c for use by freeze_bdev that
grabs an active reference to a superblock from a given block device.

Now that we have the freeze count there is not much reason for bd_mount_sem
anymore. The actual freeze/thaw operations are serialized using the
bd_fsfreeze_mutex, and the only other place we take bd_mount_sem is
get_sb_bdev which tries to prevent mounting a filesystem while the block
device is frozen. Instead of add a check for bd_fsfreeze_count and
return -EBUSY if a filesystem is frozen. While that is a change in user
visible behaviour a failing mount is much better for this case rather
than having the mount process stuck uninterruptible for a long time.

sb->s_maxbytes is supposed to indicate the maximum size of a file that can
exist on the filesystem. It's declared as an unsigned long long.
Even if a filesystem has no inherent limit that prevents it from using
every bit in that unsigned long long, it's still problematic to set it to
anything larger than MAX_LFS_FILESIZE. There are places in the kernel
that cast s_maxbytes to a signed value. If it's set too large then this
cast makes it a negative number and generally breaks the comparison.
Change s_maxbytes to be loff_t instead. That should help eliminate the
temptation to set it too large by making it a signed value.
Also, add a warning for couple of releases to help catch filesystems that
set s_maxbytes too large. Eventually we can either convert this to a
BUG() or just remove it and in the hope that no one will get it wrong now
that it's a signed value.

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.

Standard trick - add a new variable (start) such that
for each n < start n is known to be busy. Allocation can
skip checking everything in [0..start) and if it returns
n, we can set start to n + 1. Freeing below start sets
start to what we'd just freed.
Of course, it still sucks if we do something like
free 0
allocate
allocate
in a loop - still O(n^2) time. However, on saner loads it
improves the things a lot and the entire thing is not worth
the trouble of switching to something with better worst-case
behaviour.

Move BKL into ->put_super from the only caller. A couple of

Preferably after all the other BKL pushdowns in that area.

We can't run into contention on it. All other callers of lock_super()
either hold s_umount (and we have it exclusive) or hold an active
reference to superblock in question, which prevents the call of
generic_shutdown_super() while the reference is held. So we can
replace lock_super(s) with get_fs_excl() in generic_shutdown_super()
(and corresponding change for unlock_super(), of course).
Since ext4 expects s_lock held for its put_super, take lock_super()
into it. The rest of filesystems do not care at all.

filesystem maintainers.

- affs already has identical copy & pasted code at the beginning of

It is unnecessarily fragile to have two places (fsync_super() and do_sync())
doing data integrity sync of the filesystem. Alter __fsync_super() to
accommodate needs of both callers and use it. So after this patch
__fsync_super() is the only place where we gather all the calls needed to
properly send all data on a filesystem to disk.
Nice bonus is that we get a complete livelock avoidance and write_supers()
is now only used for periodic writeback of superblocks.

sync_filesystems() has a condition that if wait == 0 and s_dirt == 0, then
->sync_fs() isn't called. This does not really make much sence since s_dirt is
generally used by a filesystem to mean that ->write_super() needs to be called.

So far, do_sync() called:
sync_inodes(0);
sync_supers();
sync_filesystems(0);
sync_filesystems(1);
sync_inodes(1);
This ordering makes it kind of hard for filesystems as sync_inodes(0) need not
submit all the IO (for example it skips inodes with I_SYNC set) so e.g. forcing
transaction to disk in ->sync_fs() is not really enough. Therefore sys_sync has
not been completely reliable on some filesystems (ext3, ext4, reiserfs, ocfs2
and others are hit by this) when racing e.g. with background writeback. A
similar problem hits also other filesystems (e.g. ext2) because of
write_supers() being called before the sync_inodes(1).
Change the ordering of calls in do_sync() - this requires a new function
sync_blockdevs() to preserve the property that block devices are always synced
after write_super() / sync_fs() call.
The same issue is fixed in __fsync_super() function used on umount /
remount read-only.

It seems like a false positive, and seems like VFS but not cgroup needs to
be fixed.
Peter said:
We can simply put the new s_umount instance in a but lockdep doesn't
particularly cares about subclass order.
If there's any issue with the callers of sget() assuming the s_umount lock
being of sublcass 0, then there is another annotation we can use to fix
that, but lets not bother with that if this is sufficient.

Rename the async_*_special() functions to async_*_domain(), which
describes the purpose of these functions much better.

sync_filesystems() shouldn't be calling async_synchronize_full_special
while holding a spinlock. The second while loop in that function is the
right place for this anyway.
