Dave Kleikamp 1ad53a98c9 jfs: Fix error handling in metapage_writepage()
Improved error handling so that last_write_complete(), and thus
end_page_writeback(), gets called only once.

Alexey Dobriyan 51cc50685a SL*B: drop kmem cache argument from constructor
Kmem cache passed to constructor is only needed for constructors that are
themselves multiplexeres.  Nobody uses this "feature", nor does anybody uses
passed kmem cache in non-trivial way, so pass only pointer to object.

Non-trivial places are:
	arch/powerpc/mm/init_64.c
	arch/powerpc/mm/hugetlbpage.c

This is flag day, yes.

Nick Piggin 54af6233d1 JFS is missing a memory barrier
JFS is missing a memory barrier needed to close the critical section before
clearing the lock bit. Use lock bitops for this.

unlock_page() has a second barrier after clearing the lock, which is
required because it checks whether the waitqueue is active without locks.
Such a barrier is not required here because the waitqueue spinlock is
always taken (something to think about if performance is an issue).

Dave Kleikamp 29a424f283 JFS: clear PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY for no-write pages
When JFS decides to drop a dirty metapage, it simply clears the META_dirty
bit and leave alone the PG_dirty and PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY bits.

When such no-write page goes to metapage_writepage(), the `relic'
PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY tag should be cleared, to prevent pdflush from
repeatedly trying to sync them.  This is done through
set_page_writeback(), so call it should be called in all cases.  If
no I/O is initiated, end_page_writeback() should be called immediately.

This is how __block_write_full_page() does things.

Slab destructors were no longer supported after Christoph's
c59def9f22 change. They've been

Christoph Lameter 50953fe9e0 slab allocators: Remove SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL flag
I have never seen a use of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL.  It is only supported by
SLAB.

I think its purpose was to have a callback after an object has been freed
to verify that the state is the constructor state again?  The callback is
performed before each freeing of an object.

I would think that it is much easier to check the object state manually
before the free.  That also places the check near the code object
manipulation of the object.

Also the SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL callback is only performed if the kernel was
compiled with SLAB debugging on.  If there would be code in a constructor
handling SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL then it would have to be conditional on
SLAB_DEBUG otherwise it would just be dead code.  But there is no such code
in the kernel.  I think SLUB_DEBUG_INITIAL is too problematic to make real
use of, difficult to understand and there are easier ways to accomplish the
same effect (i.e.  add debug code before kfree).

There is a related flag SLAB_CTOR_VERIFY that is frequently checked to be
clear in fs inode caches.  Remove the pointless checks (they would even be
pointless without removeal of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL) from the fs constructors.

This is the last slab flag that SLUB did not support.  Remove the check for
unimplemented flags from SLUB.

Dave Kleikamp 4aa0d230c2 JFS: call io_schedule() instead of schedule() to avoid deadlock
The introduction of Jens Axboe's explicit i/o plugging patches introduced a
deadlock in jfs.  This was caused by the process initiating I/O not
unplugging the queue before waiting on the commit thread.  The commit
thread itself was waiting for that I/O to complete.  Calling io_schedule()
rather than schedule() unplugs the I/O queue avoiding the deadlock, and it
appears to be the right function to call in any case.

Dave Kleikamp d0e671a932 [PATCH] Fix JFS after clear_page_dirty() removal
This patch removes some questionable code that attempted to make a
no-longer-used page easier to reclaim.

Calling metapage_writepage against such a page will not result in any
I/O being performed, so removing this code shouldn't be a big deal.

[ It's likely that we could have just replaced the "clear_page_dirty()"
  call with a call to "cancel_dirty_page()" instead, but in the
  meantime this is cleaner and simpler anyway, so unless there is some
  overriding reason (and Dave implies there isn't) I'll just use this
  patch as-is.			- Linus ]

Dave Kleikamp b964638ffd JFS: Fix multiple errors in metapage_releasepage
It looks like metapage_releasepage was making in invalid assumption that
the releasepage method would not be called on a dirty page.  Instead of
issuing a warning and releasing the metapage, it should return 0, indicating
that the private data for the page cannot be released.

I also realized that metapage_releasepage had the return code all wrong.  If
it is successful in releasing the private data, it should return 1, otherwise
it needs to return 0.

Lastly, there is no need to call wait_on_page_writeback, since
try_to_release_page will not call us with a page in writback state.

Hugh Dickins 4c21e2f244 [PATCH] mm: split page table lock
Christoph Lameter demonstrated very poor scalability on the SGI 512-way, with
a many-threaded application which concurrently initializes different parts of
a large anonymous area.

This patch corrects that, by using a separate spinlock per page table page, to
guard the page table entries in that page, instead of using the mm's single
page_table_lock.  (But even then, page_table_lock is still used to guard page
table allocation, and anon_vma allocation.)

In this implementation, the spinlock is tucked inside the struct page of the
page table page: with a BUILD_BUG_ON in case it overflows - which it would in
the case of 32-bit PA-RISC with spinlock debugging enabled.

Splitting the lock is not quite for free: another cacheline access.  Ideally,
I suppose we would use split ptlock only for multi-threaded processes on
multi-cpu machines; but deciding that dynamically would have its own costs.
So for now enable it by config, at some number of cpus - since the Kconfig
language doesn't support inequalities, let preprocessor compare that with
NR_CPUS.  But I don't think it's worth being user-configurable: for good
testing of both split and unsplit configs, split now at 4 cpus, and perhaps
change that to 8 later.

There is a benefit even for singly threaded processes: kswapd can be attacking
one part of the mm while another part is busy faulting.

Al Viro 27496a8c67 [PATCH] gfp_t: fs/*
- ->releasepage() annotated (s/int/gfp_t), instances updated
 - missing gfp_t in fs/* added
 - fixed misannotation from the original sweep caught by bitwise checks:
   XFS used __nocast both for gfp_t and for flags used by XFS allocator.
   The latter left with unsigned int __nocast; we might want to add a
   different type for those but for now let's leave them alone.  That,
   BTW, is a case when __nocast use had been actively confusing - it had
   been used in the same code for two different and similar types, with
   no way to catch misuses.  Switch of gfp_t to bitwise had caught that
   immediately...

One tricky bit is left alone to be dealt with later - mapping->flags is
a mix of gfp_t and error indications.  Left alone for now.

Dave Kleikamp ac17b8b570 JFS: make special inodes play nicely with page balancing
This patch fixes up a few problems with jfs's reserved inodes.

1. There is no need for the jfs code setting the I_DIRTY bits in i_state.
   I am ashamed that the code ever did this, and surprised it hasn't been
   noticed until now.

2. Make sure special inodes are on an inode hash list.  If the inodes are
   unhashed, __mark_inode_dirty will fail to put the inode on the
   superblock's dirty list, and the data will not be flushed under memory
   pressure.

3. Force writing journal data to disk when metapage_writepage is unable to
   write a metadata page due to pending journal I/O.

Qu Fuping 3d9b1cdd24 JFS: fsync wrong behavior when I/O failure occurs
This is half of a patch that Qu Fuping submitted in April.  The first part
was applied to fs/mpage.c in 2.6.12-rc4.

jfs_fsync should return error, but it doesn't wait for the metadata page to
be uptodate, e.g.:
jfs_fsync->jfs_commit_inode->txCommit->diWrite->read_metapage->
__get_metapage->read_cache_page reads a page from disk. Because read is
async, when read_cache_page: err = filler(data, page), filler will not
return error, it just submits I/O request and returns. So, page is not
uptodate.  Checking only if(IS_ERROR(mp->page)) is not enough, we should
add "|| !PageUptodate(mp->page)"
