Martin Stava 2511cd0b3b 9p: fix readlink
I do not know if you've looked on the patch, but unfortunately it is
incorrect. A suggested better version is in this email (the old
version didn't work in case the user provided buffer was not long
enough - it incorrectly appended null byte on a position of last char,
and thus broke the contract of the readlink method). However, I'm
still not sure this is 100% correct thing to do, I think readlink is
supposed to return buffer without last null byte in all cases, but we
do return last null byte (even the old version).. on the other hand it
is likely unspecified what is in the remaining part of the buffer, so
null character may be fine there ;):

Ryota Yamauchi c7ff91d722 xfs: fix xfs_quota remove error
The xfs_quota returns ENOSYS when remove command is executed.
Reproducable with following steps.

    # mount -t xfs -o uquota /dev/sda7 /mnt/mp1
    # xfs_quota -x -c off -c remove
    XFS_QUOTARM: Function not implemented.

The remove command is allowed during quotaoff, but xfs_fs_set_xstate()
checks whether quota is running, and it leads to ENOSYS.

To solve this problem, add a check for X_QUOTARM.

Eric Sandeen 3b826386d3 xfs: free temporary cursor in xfs_dialloc
Commit bd16956599 seems
to have a slight regression where this code path:

    if (!--searchdistance) {
        /*
         * Not in range - save last search
         * location and allocate a new inode
         */
        ...
        goto newino;
    }

doesn't free the temporary cursor (tcur) that got dup'd in
this function.

This leaks an item in the xfs_btree_cur zone, and it's caught
on module unload:

===========================================================
BUG xfs_btree_cur: Objects remaining on kmem_cache_close()
-----------------------------------------------------------

It seems like maybe a single free at the end of the function might
be cleaner, but for now put a del_cursor right in this code block
similar to the handling in the rest of the function.

Coly Li 837711f862 ocfs2: return f_fsid info in ocfs2_statfs()
Currently the f_fsid of struct kstatfs returned from ocfs2_statfs() is
undefined (vfs layer fills in 0 as default). Since in some conditions,
f_fsid value might be used in a (f_fsid, ino) pair to uniquely identify
a file, ocfs2 should return a unique defined f_fsid value from
ocfs2_statfs().

Because uuid_str is the same on big or litlle endian machine, it's
endian consistent to use osb->uuid_str to generate f_fsid value.

Jeff Mahoney 47f365eb57 hfs: fix oops on mount with corrupted btree extent records
A particular fsfuzzer run caused an hfs file system to crash on mount.
This is due to a corrupted MDB extent record causing a miscalculation of
HFS_I(inode)->first_blocks for the extent tree.  If the extent records are
zereod out, it won't trigger the first_blocks special case.  Instead it
falls through to the extent code which we're still in the middle of
initializing.

This patch catches the 0 size extent records, reports the corruption, and
fails the mount.

Ben Hutchings 5c36fe3d87 hfsplus: refuse to mount volumes larger than 2TB
As found in <http://bugs.debian.org/550010>, hfsplus is using type u32
rather than sector_t for some sector number calculations.

In particular, hfsplus_get_block() does:

        u32 ablock, dblock, mask;
...
        map_bh(bh_result, sb, (dblock << HFSPLUS_SB(sb).fs_shift) + HFSPLUS_SB(sb).blockoffset + (iblock & mask));

I am not confident that I can find and fix all cases where a sector number
may be truncated.  For now, avoid data loss by refusing to mount HFS+
volumes with more than 2^32 sectors (2TB).

Paul Mundt ffb4a73d89 sh: Fix hugetlbfs dependencies for SH-3 && MMU configurations.
The hugetlb dependencies presently depend on SUPERH && MMU while the
hugetlb page size definitions depend on CPU_SH4 or CPU_SH5. This
unfortunately allows SH-3 + MMU configurations to enable hugetlbfs
without a corresponding HPAGE_SHIFT definition, resulting in the build
blowing up.

As SH-3 doesn't support variable page sizes, we tighten up the
dependenies a bit to prevent hugetlbfs from being enabled. These days
we also have a shiny new SYS_SUPPORTS_HUGETLBFS, so switch to using
that rather than adding to the list of corner cases in fs/Kconfig.

commit 0762b8bde9
(from 14 months ago) introduced a use-after-free bug which has just
recently started manifesting in my md testing.
I tried git bisect to find out what caused the bug to start
manifesting, and it could have been the recent change to
blk_unregister_queue (48c0d4d4c0) but the results were inconclusive.

This patch certainly fixes my symptoms and looks correct as the two
calls are now in the same order as elsewhere in that function.

Trond Myklebust 52567b03ca NFSv4: Fix a bug when the server returns NFS4ERR_RESOURCE
RFC 3530 states that when we recieve the error NFS4ERR_RESOURCE, we are not
supposed to bump the sequence number on OPEN, LOCK, LOCKU, CLOSE, etc
operations. The problem is that we map that error into EREMOTEIO in the XDR
layer, and so the NFSv4 middle-layer routines like seqid_mutating_err(),
and nfs_increment_seqid() don't recognise it.

The fix is to defer the mapping until after the middle layers have

Actually pass the NFS_FILE_SYNC option to the server to avoid a
Panic in nfs_direct_write_complete() when a commit fails.

At the end of an nfs write, if the nfs commit fails, all the writes
will be rescheduled.  They are supposed to be rescheduled as NFS_FILE_SYNC
writes, but the rpc_task structure is not completely intialized and so
the option is not passed.  When the rescheduled writes complete, the
return indicates that they are NFS_UNSTABLE and we try to do another
commit.  This leads to a Panic because the commit data structure pointer
was set to null in the initial (failed) commit attempt.

Earl Chew ad3960243e fs: pipe.c null pointer dereference
This patch fixes a null pointer exception in pipe_rdwr_open() which
generates the stack trace:

> Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000028 RIP:
>  [<ffffffff802899a5>] pipe_rdwr_open+0x35/0x70

>  [<ffffffff802814aa>] do_sys_open+0x5a/0x100
>  [<ffffffff8021faf3>] sysenter_do_call+0x1b/0x67

The failure mode is triggered by an attempt to open an anonymous
pipe via /proc/pid/fd/* as exemplified by this script:

=============================================================
while : ; do
   { echo y ; sleep 1 ; } | { while read ; do echo z$REPLY; done ; } &
   PID=$!
   OUT=$(ps -efl | grep 'sleep 1' | grep -v grep |
        { read PID REST ; echo $PID; } )
   OUT="${OUT%% *}"
   DELAY=$((RANDOM * 1000 / 32768))
   usleep $((DELAY * 1000 + RANDOM % 1000 ))
   echo n > /proc/$OUT/fd/1                 # Trigger defect
done
=============================================================

Note that the failure window is quite small and I could only
reliably reproduce the defect by inserting a small delay
in pipe_rdwr_open(). For example:

 static int
 pipe_rdwr_open(struct inode *inode, struct file *filp)
 {
       msleep(100);
       mutex_lock(&inode->i_mutex);

Although the defect was observed in pipe_rdwr_open(), I think it
makes sense to replicate the change through all the pipe_*_open()
functions.

The core of the change is to verify that inode->i_pipe has not
been released before attempting to manipulate it. If inode->i_pipe
is no longer present, return ENOENT to indicate so.

The comment about potentially using atomic_t for i_pipe->readers
and i_pipe->writers has also been removed because it is no longer
relevant in this context. The inode->i_mutex lock must be used so
that inode->i_pipe can be dealt with correctly.

Eric Paris 9f0d793b52 fsnotify: do not set group for a mark before it is on the i_list
fsnotify_add_mark is supposed to add a mark to the g_list and i_list and to
set the group and inode for the mark.  fsnotify_destroy_mark_by_entry uses
the fact that ->group != NULL to know if this group should be destroyed or
if it's already been done.

But fsnotify_add_mark sets the group and inode before it actually adds the
mark to the i_list and g_list.  This can result in a race in inotify, it
requires 3 threads.

Neil Brown 83db93f4de sysfs: Allow sysfs_notify_dirent to be called from interrupt context.
sysfs_notify_dirent is a simple atomic operation that can be used to
alert user-space that new data can be read from a sysfs attribute.

Unfortunately it cannot currently be called from non-process context
because of its use of spin_lock which is sometimes taken with
interrupts enabled.

So change all lockers of sysfs_open_dirent_lock to disable interrupts,
thus making sysfs_notify_dirent safe to be called from non-process
context (as drivers/md does in md_safemode_timeout).

sysfs_get_open_dirent is (documented as being) only called from
process context, so it uses spin_lock_irq.  Other places
use spin_lock_irqsave.

The usage for sysfs_notify_dirent in md_safemode_timeout was
introduced in 2.6.28, so this patch is suitable for that and more
recent kernels.

Chris Mason 444528b3e6 Btrfs: always pin metadata in discard mode
We have an optimization in btrfs to allow blocks to be
immediately freed if they were allocated in this transaction and never
written.  Otherwise they are pinned and freed when the transaction
commits.

This isn't optimal for discard mode because immediately freeing
them means immediately discarding them.  It is better to give the
block to the pinning code and letting the (slow) discard happen later.

Chris Mason 690587d109 Btrfs: streamline tree-log btree block writeout
Syncing the tree log is a 3 phase operation.

1) write and wait for all the tree log blocks for a given root.

2) write and wait for all the tree log blocks for the
tree of tree log roots.

3) write and wait for the super blocks (barriers here)

This isn't as efficient as it could be because there is
no requirement to wait for the blocks from step one to hit the disk
before we start writing the blocks from step two.  This commit
changes the sequence so that we don't start waiting until
all the tree blocks from both steps one and two have been sent
to disk.

We do this by breaking up btrfs_write_wait_marked_extents into
two functions, which is trivial because it was already broken
up into two parts.

Chris Mason 257c62e1bc Btrfs: avoid tree log commit when there are no changes
rpm has a habit of running fdatasync when the file hasn't
changed.  We already detect if a file hasn't been changed
in the current transaction but it might have been sent to
the tree-log in this transaction and not changed since
the last call to fsync.

In this case, we want to avoid a tree log sync, which includes
a number of synchronous writes and barriers.  This commit
extends the existing tracking of the last transaction to change
a file to also track the last sub-transaction.

The end result is that rpm -ivh and -Uvh are roughly twice as fast,
and on par with ext3.

This patch moves the delalloc flushing that occurs when we are under space
pressure off to a async thread pool.  This helps since we only free up
metadata space when we actually insert the extent item, which means it takes
quite a while for space to be free'ed up if we wait on all ordered extents.
However, if space is freed up due to inline extents being inserted, we can
wake people who are waiting up early, and they can finish their work.

Josef Bacik 32c00aff71 Btrfs: release delalloc reservations on extent item insertion
This patch fixes an issue with the delalloc metadata space reservation
code.  The problem is we used to free the reservation as soon as we
allocated the delalloc region.  The problem with this is if we are not
inserting an inline extent, we don't actually insert the extent item until
after the ordered extent is written out.  This patch does 3 things,

1) It moves the reservation clearing stuff into the ordered code, so when
we remove the ordered extent we remove the reservation.
2) It adds a EXTENT_DO_ACCOUNTING flag that gets passed when we clear
delalloc bits in the cases where we want to clear the metadata reservation
when we clear the delalloc extent, in the case that we do an inline extent
or we invalidate the page.
3) It adds another waitqueue to the space info so that when we start a fs
wide delalloc flush, anybody else who also hits that area will simply wait
for the flush to finish and then try to make their allocation.

This has been tested thoroughly to make sure we did not regress on
performance.

When compression is on, the cow_file_range code is farmed off to
worker threads.  This allows us to do significant CPU work in parallel
on SMP machines.

But it is a delicate balance around when we clear flags and how.  In
the past we cleared the delalloc flag immediately, which was safe
because the pages stayed locked.

But this is causing problems with the newest ENOSPC code, and with the
recent extent state cleanups we can now clear the delalloc bit at the
same time the uncompressed code does.

Eric Sandeen 8e69ce1471 fix readahead calculations in xfs_dir2_leaf_getdents()
This is for bug #850,
http://oss.sgi.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=850
XFS file system segfaults , repeatedly and 100% reproducable in 2.6.30 , 2.6.31

The above only showed up on a CONFIG_XFS_DEBUG=y kernel, because
xfs_bmapi() ASSERTs that it has been asked for at least one map,

and it was getting 0.

The root cause is that our guesstimated "bufsize" from xfs_file_readdir
was fairly small, and the

		bufsize -= length;

in the loop was going negative - except bufsize is a size_t, so it
was wrapping to a very large number.

Then when we did
		ra_want = howmany(bufsize + mp->m_dirblksize,
				  mp->m_sb.sb_blocksize) - 1;

with that very large number, the (int) ra_want was coming out
negative, and a subsequent compare:

		if (1 + ra_want > map_blocks ...

was coming out -true- (negative int compare w/ uint) and we went
back to xfs_bmapi() for more, even though we did not need more,
and asked for 0 maps, and hit the ASSERT.

We have kind of a type mess here, but just keeping bufsize from
going negative is probably sufficient to avoid the problem.

Christoph Hellwig f9581b1443 xfs: implement ->dirty_inode to fix timestamp handling
This is picking up on Felix's repost of Dave's patch to implement a
.dirty_inode method.  We really need this notification because
the VFS keeps writing directly into the inode structure instead
of going through methods to update this state.  In addition to
the long-known atime issue we now also have a caller in VM code
that updates c/mtime that way for shared writeable mmaps.  And
I found another one that no one has noticed in practice in the FIFO
code.

So implement ->dirty_inode to set i_update_core whenever the
inode gets externally dirtied, and switch the c/mtime handling to
the same scheme we already use for atime (always picking up
the value from the Linux inode).

Note that this patch also removes the xfs_synchronize_atime call
in xfs_reclaim it was superflous as we already synchronize the time
when writing the inode via the log (xfs_inode_item_format) or the
normal buffers (xfs_iflush_int).

In addition also remove the I_CLEAR check before copying the Linux
timestamps - now that we always have the Linux inode available
we can always use the timestamps in it.

Also switch to just using file_update_time for regular reads/writes -
that will get us all optimization done to it for free and make
sure we notice early when it breaks.

Trond Myklebust 3050141bae NFSv4: Kill nfs4_renewd_prepare_shutdown()
The NFSv4 renew daemon is shared between all active super blocks that refer
to a particular NFS server, so it is wrong to be shutting it down in
nfs4_kill_super every time a super block is destroyed.

This patch therefore kills nfs4_renewd_prepare_shutdown altogether, and
leaves it up to nfs4_shutdown_client() to also shut down the renew daemon
by means of the existing call to nfs4_kill_renewd().

Ben Hutchings f4373bf9e6 nfs: Avoid overrun when copying client IP address string
As seen in <http://bugs.debian.org/549002>, nfs4_init_client() can
overrun the source string when copying the client IP address from
nfs_parsed_mount_data::client_address to nfs_client::cl_ipaddr.  Since
these are both treated as null-terminated strings elsewhere, the copy
should be done with strlcpy() not memcpy().

Nikanth Karthikesan 316d315bff block: Seperate read and write statistics of in_flight requests v2
Commit a9327cac44 added seperate read
and write statistics of in_flight requests. And exported the number
of read and write requests in progress seperately through sysfs.

But  Corrado Zoccolo <czoccolo@gmail.com> reported getting strange
output from "iostat -kx 2". Global values for service time and
utilization were garbage. For interval values, utilization was always
100%, and service time is higher than normal.

So this was reverted by commit 0f78ab9899

The problem was in part_round_stats_single(), I missed the following:
        if (now == part->stamp)
                return;

-       if (part->in_flight) {
+       if (part_in_flight(part)) {
                __part_stat_add(cpu, part, time_in_queue,
                                part_in_flight(part) * (now - part->stamp));
                __part_stat_add(cpu, part, io_ticks, (now - part->stamp));

With this chunk included, the reported regression gets fixed.

Josef Bacik 1cdda9b81a Btrfs: fix possible softlockup in the allocator
Like the cluster allocating stuff, we can lockup the box with the normal
allocation path.  This happens when we

1) Start to cache a block group that is severely fragmented, but has a decent
amount of free space.
2) Start to commit a transaction
3) Have the commit try and empty out some of the delalloc inodes with extents
that are relatively large.

The inodes will not be able to make the allocations because they will ask for
allocations larger than a contiguous area in the free space cache.  So we will
wait for more progress to be made on the block group, but since we're in a
commit the caching kthread won't make any more progress and it already has
enough free space that wait_block_group_cache_progress will just return.  So,
if we wait and fail to make the allocation the next time around, just loop and
go to the next block group.  This keeps us from getting stuck in a softlockup.

Chris Mason 61d92c328c Btrfs: fix deadlock on async thread startup
The btrfs async worker threads are used for a wide variety of things,
including processing bio end_io functions.  This means that when
the endio threads aren't running, the rest of the FS isn't
able to do the final processing required to clear PageWriteback.

The endio threads also try to exit as they become idle and
start more as the work piles up.  The problem is that starting more
threads means kthreadd may need to allocate ram, and that allocation
may wait until the global number of writeback pages on the system is
below a certain limit.

The result of that throttling is that end IO threads wait on
kthreadd, who is waiting on IO to end, which will never happen.

This commit fixes the deadlock by handing off thread startup to a
dedicated thread.  It also fixes a bug where the on-demand thread
creation was creating far too many threads because it didn't take into
account threads being started by other procs.

Eric Sandeen fbbf694566 [PATCH] ext4: retry failed direct IO allocations
On a 256M filesystem, doing this in a loop:

        xfs_io -F -f -d -c 'pwrite 0 64m' test
        rm -f test

eventually leads to ENOSPC.  (the xfs_io command does a
64m direct IO write to the file "test")

As with other block allocation callers, it looks like we need to
potentially retry the allocations on the initial ENOSPC.

Ryusuke Konishi 1f28fcd925 nilfs2: fix missing zero-fill initialization of btree node cache
This will fix file system corruption which infrequently happens after
mount.  The problem was reported from users with the title "[NILFS
users] Fail to mount NILFS." (Message-ID:
<200908211918.34720.yuri@itinteg.net>), and so forth.  I've also
experienced the corruption multiple times on kernel 2.6.30 and 2.6.31.

The problem turned out to be caused due to discordance between
mapping->nrpages of a btree node cache and the actual number of pages
hung on the cache; if the mapping->nrpages becomes zero even as it has
pages, truncate_inode_pages() returns without doing anything.  Usually
this is harmless except it may cause page leak, but garbage collection
fairly infrequently sees a stale page remained in the btree node cache
of DAT (i.e. disk address translation file of nilfs), and induces the
corruption.

I identified a missing initialization in btree node caches was the
root cause.  This corrects the bug.

I've tested this for kernel 2.6.30 and 2.6.31.

Josef Bacik 9ed74f2dba Btrfs: proper -ENOSPC handling
At the start of a transaction we do a btrfs_reserve_metadata_space() and
specify how many items we plan on modifying.  Then once we've done our
modifications and such, just call btrfs_unreserve_metadata_space() for
the same number of items we reserved.

For keeping track of metadata needed for data I've had to add an extent_io op
for when we merge extents.  This lets us track space properly when we are doing
sequential writes, so we don't end up reserving way more metadata space than
what we need.

The only place where the metadata space accounting is not done is in the
relocation code.  This is because Yan is going to be reworking that code in the
near future, so running btrfs-vol -b could still possibly result in a ENOSPC
related panic.  This patch also turns off the metadata_ratio stuff in order to
allow users to more efficiently use their disk space.

This patch makes it so we track how much metadata we need for an inode's
delayed allocation extents by tracking how many extents are currently
waiting for allocation.  It introduces two new callbacks for the
extent_io tree's, merge_extent_hook and split_extent_hook.  These help
us keep track of when we merge delalloc extents together and split them
up.  Reservations are handled prior to any actually dirty'ing occurs,
and then we unreserve after we dirty.

btrfs_unreserve_metadata_for_delalloc() will make the appropriate
unreservations as needed based on the number of reservations we
currently have and the number of extents we currently have.  Doing the
reservation outside of doing any of the actual dirty'ing lets us do
things like filemap_flush() the inode to try and force delalloc to
happen, or as a last resort actually start allocation on all delalloc
inodes in the fs.  This has survived dbench, fs_mark and an fsx torture
test.

Mingming Cao 8d5d02e6b1 ext4: async direct IO for holes and fallocate support
For async direct IO that covers holes or fallocate, the end_io
callback function now queued the convertion work on workqueue but
don't flush the work rightaway as it might take too long to afford.

But when fsync is called after all the data is completed, user expects
the metadata also being updated before fsync returns.

Thus we need to flush the conversion work when fsync() is called.
This patch keep track of a listed of completed async direct io that
has a work queued on workqueue.  When fsync() is called, it will go
through the list and do the conversion.

Mingming Cao 4c0425ff68 ext4: Use end_io callback to avoid direct I/O fallback to buffered I/O
Currently the DIO VFS code passes create = 0 when writing to the
middle of file.  It does this to avoid block allocation for holes, so
as not to expose stale data out when there is a parallel buffered read
(which does not hold the i_mutex lock).  Direct I/O writes into holes
falls back to buffered IO for this reason.

Since preallocated extents are treated as holes when doing a
get_block() look up (buffer is not mapped), direct IO over fallocate
also falls back to buffered IO.  Thus ext4 actually silently falls
back to buffered IO in above two cases, which is undesirable.

To fix this, this patch creates unitialized extents when a direct I/O
write into holes in sparse files, and registering an end_io callback which
converts the uninitialized extent to an initialized extent after the
I/O is completed.

Theodore Ts'o 55138e0bc2 ext4: Adjust ext4_da_writepages() to write out larger contiguous chunks
Work around problems in the writeback code to force out writebacks in
larger chunks than just 4mb, which is just too small.  This also works
around limitations in the ext4 block allocator, which can't allocate
more than 2048 blocks at a time.  So we need to defeat the round-robin
characteristics of the writeback code and try to write out as many
blocks in one inode before allowing the writeback code to move on to
another inode.  We add a a new per-filesystem tunable,
max_writeback_mb_bump, which caps this to a default of 128mb per

Theodore Ts'o 7178057730 ext4: Fix hueristic which avoids group preallocation for closed files
The hueristic was designed to avoid using locality group preallocation
when writing the last segment of a closed file.  Fix it by move
setting size to the maximum of size and isize until after we check
whether size == isize.

Alexey Dobriyan f0f37e2f77 const: mark struct vm_struct_operations

But leave TTM code alone, something is fishy there with global vm_ops
being used.

Jens Axboe a72bfd4dea writeback: pass in super_block to bdi_start_writeback()
Sometimes we only want to write pages from a specific super_block,
so allow that to be passed in.

This fixes a problem with commit 56a131dcf7
causing writeback on all super_blocks on a bdi, where we only really
want to sync a specific sb from writeback_inodes_sb().

Jeff Layton 3321b791b2 cifs: fix locking and list handling code in cifs_open and its helper
The patch to remove cifs_init_private introduced a locking imbalance. It
didn't remove the leftover list addition code and the unlocking in that
function. cifs_new_fileinfo does the list addition now, so there should
be no need to do it outside of that function.

pCifsInode will never be NULL, so we don't need to check for that. This
patch also gets rid of the ugly locking and unlocking across function
calls.

Wu Fengguang b3af9468ae writeback: don't delay inodes redirtied by a fast dirtier
Debug traces show that in per-bdi writeback, the inode under writeback
almost always get redirtied by a busy dirtier.  We used to call
redirty_tail() in this case, which could delay inode for up to 30s.

This is unacceptable because it now happens so frequently for plain cp/dd,
that the accumulated delays could make writeback of big files very slow.

So let's distinguish between data redirty and metadata only redirty.
The first one is caused by a busy dirtier, while the latter one could
happen in XFS, NFS, etc. when they are doing delalloc or updating isize.

The inode being busy dirtied will now be requeued for next io, while
the inode being redirtied by fs will continue to be delayed to avoid
repeated IO.

Jens Axboe 9ecc2738ac writeback: make the super_block pinning more efficient
Currently we pin the inode->i_sb for every single inode. This
increases cache traffic on sb->s_umount sem. Lets instead
cache the inode sb pin state and keep the super_block pinned
for as long as keep writing out inodes from the same
super_block.

Shaohua Li 5c03449d34 writeback: move inodes from one super_block together
__mark_inode_dirty adds inode to wb dirty list in random order. If a disk has
several partitions, writeback might keep spindle moving between partitions.
To reduce the move, better write big chunk of one partition and then move to
another. Inodes from one fs usually are in one partion, so idealy move indoes
from one fs together should reduce spindle move. This patch tries to address
this. Before per-bdi writeback is added, the behavior is write indoes
from one fs first and then another, so the patch restores previous behavior.
The loop in the patch is a bit ugly, should we add a dirty list for each
superblock in bdi_writeback?

Test in a two partition disk with attached fio script shows about 3% ~ 6%
improvement.
