Badari Pulavarty f91a2ad2ed [PATCH] ext3: multi-block get_block()
Mingming Cao recently added multi-block allocation support for ext3,
currently used only by DIO.  I added support to map multiple blocks for
mpage_readpages().  This patch add support for ext3_get_block() to deal
with multi-block mapping.  Basically it renames ext3_direct_io_get_blocks()
as ext3_get_block().

Badari Pulavarty fa30bd058b [PATCH] map multiple blocks for mpage_readpages()
This patch changes mpage_readpages() and get_block() to get the disk mapping
information for multiple blocks at the same time.

b_size represents the amount of disk mapping that needs to mapped.  On the
successful get_block() b_size indicates the amount of disk mapping thats
actually mapped.  Only the filesystems who care to use this information and
provide multiple disk blocks at a time can choose to do so.

No changes are needed for the filesystems who wants to ignore this.

Mingming Cao d48589bfad [PATCH] ext3_get_blocks: Adjust reservation window size for mblocks
Optimize the block reservation and the multiple block allocation: with the
knowledge of the total number of blocks ahead, set or adjust the reservation
window size properly (based on the number of blocks needed) before block
allocation happens: if there isn't any reservation yet, make sure the
reservation window equals to or greater than the number of blocks needed,
before create an reservation window; if a reservation window is already
exists, try to extends the window size to match the number of blocks to
allocate.  This could increase the possibility of completing multiple blocks
allocation in a single request, as blocks are only allocated in the range of
the inode's reservation window.

Mingming Cao 89747d369d [PATCH] ext3_get_blocks: Mapping multiple blocks at a once
Currently ext3_get_block() only maps or allocates one block at a time.  This
is quite inefficient for sequential IO workload.

I have posted a early implements a simply multiple block map and allocation
with current ext3.  The basic idea is allocating the 1st block in the existing
way, and attempting to allocate the next adjacent blocks on a best effort
basis.  More description about the implementation could be found here:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=ext2-devel&m=112162230003522&w=2

The following the latest version of the patch: break the original patch into 5
patches, re-worked some logicals, and fixed some bugs.  The break ups are:

 [patch 1] Adding map multiple blocks at a time in ext3_get_blocks()
 [patch 2] Extend ext3_get_blocks() to support multiple block allocation
 [patch 3] Implement multiple block allocation in ext3-try-to-allocate
 (called via ext3_new_block()).
 [patch 4] Proper accounting updates in ext3_new_blocks()
 [patch 5] Adjust reservation window size properly (by the given number
 of blocks to allocate) before block allocation to increase the
 possibility of allocating multiple blocks in a single call.

Tests done so far includes fsx,tiobench and dbench.  The following numbers
collected from Direct IO tests (1G file creation/read) shows the system time
have been greatly reduced (more than 50% on my 8 cpu system) with the patches.

 1G file DIO write:
 	2.6.15		2.6.15+patches
 real    0m31.275s	0m31.161s
 user    0m0.000s	0m0.000s
 sys     0m3.384s	0m0.564s

 1G file DIO read:
 	2.6.15		2.6.15+patches
 real    0m30.733s	0m30.624s
 user    0m0.000s	0m0.004s
 sys     0m0.748s	0m0.380s

Some previous test we did on buffered IO with using multiple blocks allocation
and delayed allocation shows noticeable improvement on throughput and system
time.

This patch:

Add support of mapping multiple blocks in one call.

This is useful for DIO reads and re-writes (where blocks are already
allocated), also is in line with Christoph's proposal of using getblocks() in
mpage_readpage() or mpage_readpages().

__posix_lock_file_conf().

Keep posix_lock_file() interface, add posix_lock_conf() interface, both

I discovered on oprofile hunting on a SMP platform that dentry lookups were
slowed down because d_hash_mask, d_hash_shift and dentry_hashtable were in

changed by a cpu, other cpus have to refill their cache line.

This patch moves some variables to the __read_mostly section, in order to
avoid false sharing.  RCU dentry lookups can go full speed.

Steven Rostedt 64a07bd82e [PATCH] protect remove_proc_entry
It has been discovered that the remove_proc_entry has a race in the removing
of entries in the proc file system that are siblings.  There's no protection
around the traversing and removing of elements that belong in the same
subdirectory.

This subdirectory list is protected in other areas by the BKL.  So the BKL was
at first used to protect this area too, but unfortunately, remove_proc_entry
may be called with spinlocks held.  The BKL may schedule, so this was not a
solution.

The final solution was to add a new global spin lock to protect this list,
called proc_subdir_lock.  This lock now protects the list in
remove_proc_entry, and I also went around looking for other areas that this
list is modified and added this protection there too.  Care must be taken
since these locations call several functions that may also schedule.

Since I don't see any location that these functions that modify the
subdirectory list are called by interrupts, the irqsave/restore versions of
the spin lock was _not_ used.

Luke Yang 1ad3dcc09c [PATCH] flat binary loader doesn't check fd table full
In binfmt_flat.c, the flat binary loader should check file descriptor table
and install the fd on the file.

Convert the function to single-exit and fix this bug.

Chen, Kenneth W 174e27c607 [PATCH] direct-io: bug fix in dio handling write error
There is a bug in direct-io on propagating write error up to the higher I/O
layer.  When performing an async ODIRECT write to a block device, if a
device error occurred (like media error or disk is pulled), the error code
is only propagated from device driver to the DIO layer.  The error code
stops at finished_one_bio().  The aysnc write, however, is supposedly have
a corresponding AIO event with appropriate return code (in this case -EIO).
 Application which waits on the async write event, will hang forever since
such AIO event is lost forever (if such app did not use the timeout option
in io_getevents call.  Regardless, an AIO event is lost).

The discovery of above bug leads to another discovery of potential race
window with dio->result.  The fundamental problem is that dio->result is
overloaded with dual use: an indicator of fall back path for partial dio
write, and an error indicator used in the I/O completion path.  In the
event of device error, the setting of -EIO to dio->result clashes with
value used to track partial write that activates the fall back path.

It was also pointed out that it is impossible to use dio->result to track
partial write and at the same time to track error returned from device
driver.  Because direct_io_work can only determines whether it is a partial
write at the end of io submission and in mid stream of those io submission,
a return code could be coming back from the driver.  Thus messing up all
the subsequent logic.

Proposed fix is to separating out error code returned by the IO completion
path from partial IO submit tracking.  A new variable is added to dio
structure specifically to track io error returned in the completion path.

Phillip Susi 0e6b3e5e97 [PATCH] udf: fix uid/gid options and add uid/gid=ignore and forget options
As Pekka Enberg pointed out, with the if still following the else, you can
still get a null uid written to the disk if you specify a default uid= without
uid=forget.  In other words, if the desktop user is uid=1000 and the mount
option uid=1000 is given ( which is done on ubuntu automatically and probably
other distributions that use hal ), then if any other user besides uid 1000
owns a file then a 0 will be written to the media as the owning uid instead.

Rob Landley 76c67de460 [PATCH] Ext2 flags shouldn't report "nogrpid"
If I mount ext2 "rw", I want it to say "rw", not "rw,nogrpid".

I caught this writing an automated regression test script for the busybox
mount command.  The symptom is
  /dev/loop0 on /images/ext2.dir type ext2 (rw,nogrpid)
instead of:
  /dev/loop0 on /images/ext2.dir type ext2 (rw)

The behavior was introduced by git commit
8fc2751beb.

The Coverity checker wasn't happy seeing a size_t compared with -ENODATA
and -ENOSYS.

Since the only place where size is set is through the result of
reiserfs_xattr_get() which is an int, we could simply make size an int.
