The code in xfs_bmap_del_extent does not correctly decrement the
extent buffer index when deleting a whole extent. Most of the time
this gets caught by checks in xfs_bmapi that work around it and
decrement it manually and thus wasn't noticed so far.

In show_numa_map() we collect statistics into a numa_maps structure.
Since the number of NUMA nodes can be very large, this structure is not a
candidate for stack allocation.
Instead of going thru a kmalloc()+kfree() cycle each time show_numa_map()
is invoked, perform the allocation just once when /proc/pid/numa_maps is
opened.
Performing the allocation when numa_maps is opened, and thus before a
reference to the target tasks mm is taken, eliminates a potential
stalemate condition in the oom-killer as originally described by Hugh
Dickins:
... imagine what happens if the system is out of memory, and the mm
we're looking at is selected for killing by the OOM killer: while
we wait in __get_free_page for more memory, no memory is freed
from the selected mm because it cannot reach exit_mmap while we hold
that reference.

Moving show_numa_map() from mempolicy.c to task_mmu.c solves several
issues.
- Having the show() operation "miles away" from the corresponding
seq_file iteration operations is a maintenance burden.
- The need to export ad hoc info like struct proc_maps_private is
eliminated.
- The implementation of show_numa_map() can be improved in a simple
manner by cooperating with the other seq_file operations (start,
stop, etc) -- something that would be messy to do without this
change.

Implement generic xattrs for tmpfs filesystems. The Feodra project, while
trying to replace suid apps with file capabilities, realized that tmpfs,
which is used on the build systems, does not support file capabilities and
thus cannot be used to build packages which use file capabilities. Xattrs
are also needed for overlayfs.
The xattr interface is a bit odd. If a filesystem does not implement any
{get,set,list}xattr functions the VFS will call into some random LSM hooks
and the running LSM can then implement some method for handling xattrs.
SELinux for example provides a method to support security.selinux but no
other security.* xattrs.
As it stands today when one enables CONFIG_TMPFS_POSIX_ACL tmpfs will have
xattr handler routines specifically to handle acls. Because of this tmpfs
would loose the VFS/LSM helpers to support the running LSM. To make up
for that tmpfs had stub functions that did nothing but call into the LSM
hooks which implement the helpers.
This new patch does not use the LSM fallback functions and instead just
implements a native get/set/list xattr feature for the full security.* and
trusted.* namespace like a normal filesystem. This means that tmpfs can
now support both security.selinux and security.capability, which was not
previously possible.
The basic implementation is that I attach a:
struct shmem_xattr {
struct list_head list; /* anchored by shmem_inode_info->xattr_list */
char *name;
size_t size;
char value[0];
};
Into the struct shmem_inode_info for each xattr that is set. This
implementation could easily support the user.* namespace as well, except
some care needs to be taken to prevent large amounts of unswappable memory
being allocated for unprivileged users.

Hugh says:
"The only significant loser, I think, would be page reclaim (when
concurrent with truncation): could spin for a long time waiting for
the i_mmap_mutex it expects would soon be dropped? "
Counter points:
- cpu contention makes the spin stop (need_resched())
- zap pages should be freeing pages at a higher rate than reclaim
ever can
I think the simplification of the truncate code is definitely worth it.
Effectively reverts: 2aa15890f3c ("mm: prevent concurrent

Rework the existing mmu_gather infrastructure.
The direct purpose of these patches was to allow preemptible mmu_gather,
but even without that I think these patches provide an improvement to the
status quo.
The first 9 patches rework the mmu_gather infrastructure. For review
purpose I've split them into generic and per-arch patches with the last of
those a generic cleanup.
The next patch provides generic RCU page-table freeing, and the followup
is a patch converting s390 to use this. I've also got 4 patches from
DaveM lined up (not included in this series) that uses this to implement
gup_fast() for sparc64.
Then there is one patch that extends the generic mmu_gather batching.
After that follow the mm preemptibility patches, these make part of the mm
a lot more preemptible. It converts i_mmap_lock and anon_vma->lock to
mutexes which together with the mmu_gather rework makes mmu_gather
preemptible as well.
Making i_mmap_lock a mutex also enables a clean-up of the truncate code.
This also allows for preemptible mmu_notifiers, something that XPMEM I
think wants.
Furthermore, it removes the new and universially detested unmap_mutex.
This patch:
Remove the first obstacle towards a fully preemptible mmu_gather.
The current scheme assumes mmu_gather is always done with preemption
disabled and uses per-cpu storage for the page batches. Change this to
try and allocate a page for batching and in case of failure, use a small
on-stack array to make some progress.
Preemptible mmu_gather is desired in general and usable once i_mmap_lock
becomes a mutex. Doing it before the mutex conversion saves us from
having to rework the code by moving the mmu_gather bits inside the
pte_lock.
Also avoid flushing the tlb batches from under the pte lock, this is
useful even without the i_mmap_lock conversion as it significantly reduces
pte lock hold times.

Currently we have expand_upwards exported while expand_downwards is

check_stack_guard_page is a nice example of the asymmetry. It uses
expand_stack for VM_GROWSDOWN while expand_upwards is called for
VM_GROWSUP case.
Let's clean this up by exporting both functions and make those names
consistent. Let's use expand_{upwards,downwards} because expanding
doesn't always involve stack manipulation (an example is
ia64_do_page_fault which uses expand_upwards for registers backing store
expansion). expand_downwards has to be defined for both

Currently, an fallocate request of size slightly larger than a power of
2 is turned into two block requests, each a power of 2, with the extra
blocks pre-allocated for future use. When an application calls
fallocate, it already has an idea about how large the file may grow so
there is usually little benefit to reserve extra blocks on the
preallocation list. This reduces disk fragmentation.
Tested: fsstress. Also verified manually that fallocat'ed files are
contiguously laid out with this change (whereas without it they begin at
power-of-2 boundaries, leaving blocks in between). CPU usage of
fallocate is not appreciably higher. In a tight fallocate loop, CPU
usage hovers between 5%-8% with this change, and 5%-7% without it.
Using a simulated file system aging program which the file system to
70%, the percentage of free extents larger than 8MB (as measured by
e2freefrag) increased from 38.8% without this change, to 69.4% with
this change.

This patch adds new routines: "ext4_punch_hole" "ext4_ext_punch_hole"
and "ext4_ext_check_cache"
fallocate has been modified to call ext4_punch_hole when the punch hole
flag is passed. At the moment, we only support punching holes in
extents, so this routine is pretty much a wrapper for the ext4_ext_punch_hole
routine.
The ext4_ext_punch_hole routine first completes all outstanding writes
with the associated pages, and then releases them. The unblock
aligned data is zeroed, and all blocks in between are punched out.
The ext4_ext_check_cache routine is very similar to ext4_ext_in_cache
except it accepts a ext4_ext_cache parameter instead of a ext4_extent
parameter. This routine is used by ext4_ext_punch_hole to check and
see if a block in a hole that has been cached. The ext4_ext_cache
parameter is necessary because the members ext4_extent structure are
not large enough to hold a 32 bit value. The existing
ext4_ext_in_cache routine has become a wrapper to this new function.

out. Because punching a hole may require that the extent be split, it
is possible that the splitting may need more blocks than are
available. To deal with this, use of reserved blocks are enabled to
allow the split to proceed.
The routine then returns the number of blocks successfully

First best-effort attempt to validate and adjust the goal (physical address in
block), while it can't guarantee later operation can succeed all the time since
global_bitmap may change a bit over time.

This function tries locate the right alloc group, where a given physical block
resides, it returns the caller a buffer_head of victim group descriptor, and also
the offset of block in this group, by passing the block number.

It's a relatively complete function to accomplish defragmentation for entire
or partial extent, one journal handle was kept during the operation, it was
logically doing one more thing than ocfs2_move_extent() acutally, yes, it's
claiming the new clusters itself;-)

The moving range of __ocfs2_move_extent() was within one extent always, it
consists following parts:
1. Duplicates the clusters in pages to new_blkoffset, where extent to be moved.
2. Split the original extent with new extent, coalecse the nearby extents if possible.
3. Append old clusters to truncate log, or decrease_refcount if the extent was refcounted.

ocfs2_lock_allocators_move_extents() was like the common ocfs2_lock_allocators(),
to lock metadata and data alloctors during extents moving, reserve appropriate
metadata blocks and data clusters, also performa a best- effort to calculate the
credits for journal transaction in one run of movement.

The original goal of commonizing these funcs is to benefit defraging/extent_moving
codes in the future, based on the fact that reflink and defragmentation having
the same Copy-On-Wrtie mechanism.

This new code is a bit more complicated than former ones, the goal is to
show user all statistics required to take a deep insight into filesystem
on how the disk is being fragmentaed.
The goal is achieved by scaning global bitmap from (cluster)group to group
to figure out following factors in the filesystem:
- How many free chunks in a fixed size as user requested.
- How many real free chunks in all size.
- Min/Max/Avg size(in) clusters of free chunks.
- How do free chunks distribute(in size) in terms of a histogram,
just like following:
---------------------------------------------------------
Extent Size Range : Free extents Free Clusters Percent
32K... 64K- : 1 1 0.00%
1M... 2M- : 9 288 0.03%
8M... 16M- : 2 831 0.09%
32M... 64M- : 1 2047 0.23%
128M... 256M- : 1 8191 0.92%
256M... 512M- : 2 21706 2.43%
512M... 1024M- : 27 858623 96.29%
---------------------------------------------------------
Userspace ioctl() call eventually gets the above info returned by passing
a 'struct ocfs2_info_freefrag' with the chunk_size being specified first.

The new code is dedicated to calculate free inodes number of all inode_allocs,
then return the info to userpace in terms of an array.
Specially, flag 'OCFS2_INFO_FL_NON_COHERENT', manipulated by '--cluster-coherent'
from userspace, is now going to be involved. setting the flag on means no cluster
coherency considered, usually, userspace tools choose none-coherency strategy by
default for the sake of performace.
