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().

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.

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.

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

We can't allow rpc callback functions like task->tk_ops->rpc_call_prepare()
and task->tk_ops->rpc_call_done() to call mntput() in any way, since
that will cause a deadlock when the call to rpc_shutdown_client() attempts
to wait on 'task' to complete.
We can avoid the above deadlock by moving calls to mntput to
task->tk_ops->rpc_release() callback, since at that time the task will be
marked as completed, and so rpc_shutdown_client won't attempt to wait on
it.

If the inode is flagged as having an invalid mapping, then we can't rely on
the PageUptodate() flag. Ensure that we don't use the "anti-fragmentation"
write optimisation in nfs_updatepage(), since that will cause NFS to write
out areas of the page that are no longer guaranteed to be up to date.
A potential corruption could occur in the following scenario:
client 1 client 2
=============== ===============
fd=open("f",O_CREAT|O_WRONLY,0644);
write(fd,"fubar\n",6); // cache last page
close(fd);
fd=open("f",O_WRONLY|O_APPEND);
write(fd,"foo\n",4);
close(fd);
fd=open("f",O_WRONLY|O_APPEND);
write(fd,"bar\n",4);
close(fd);
-----
The bug may lead to the file "f" reading 'fubar\n\0\0\0\nbar\n' because
client 2 does not update the cached page after re-opening the file for
write. Instead it keeps it marked as PageUptodate() until someone calls
invaldate_inode_pages2() (typically by calling read()).

Simplify page cache zeroing of segments of pages through 3 functions
zero_user_segments(page, start1, end1, start2, end2)
Zeros two segments of the page. It takes the position where to
start and end the zeroing which avoids length calculations and
makes code clearer.
zero_user_segment(page, start, end)
Same for a single segment.
zero_user(page, start, length)
Length variant for the case where we know the length.
We remove the zero_user_page macro. Issues:
1. Its a macro. Inline functions are preferable.
2. The KM_USER0 macro is only defined for HIGHMEM.
Having to treat this special case everywhere makes the
code needlessly complex. The parameter for zeroing is always
KM_USER0 except in one single case that we open code.
Avoiding KM_USER0 makes a lot of code not having to be dealing
with the special casing for HIGHMEM anymore. Dealing with
kmap is only necessary for HIGHMEM configurations. In those
configurations we use KM_USER0 like we do for a series of other
functions defined in highmem.h.
Since KM_USER0 is depends on HIGHMEM the existing zero_user_page
function could not be a macro. zero_user_* functions introduced
here can be be inline because that constant is not used when these
functions are called.
Also extract the flushing of the caches to be outside of the kmap.

This patch fixes a regression that was introduced by commit
44dd151d5c
We cannot zero the user page in nfs_mark_uptodate() any more, since
a) We'd be modifying the page without holding the page lock
b) We can race with other updates of the page, most notably
because of the call to nfs_wb_page() in nfs_writepage_setup().
Instead, we do the zeroing in nfs_update_request() if we see that we're
creating a request that might potentially be marked as up to date.

These patches aim to improve balance_dirty_pages() and directly address three
issues:
1) inter device starvation
2) stacked device deadlocks
3) inter process starvation
1 and 2 are a direct result from removing the global dirty limit and using
per device dirty limits. By giving each device its own dirty limit is will
no longer starve another device, and the cyclic dependancy on the dirty limit
is broken.
In order to efficiently distribute the dirty limit across the independant
devices a floating proportion is used, this will allocate a share of the total
limit proportional to the device's recent activity.
3 is done by also scaling the dirty limit proportional to the current task's
recent dirty rate.
