4d4be482a4 [XFS] add a FMODE flag to make XFS invisible I/O less hacky
XFS has a mode called invisble I/O that doesn't update any of the
timestamps.  It's used for HSM-style applications and exposed through
the nasty open by handle ioctl.

Instead of doing directly assignment of file operations that set an
internal flag for it add a new FMODE_NOCMTIME flag that we can check
in the normal file operations.

(addition of the generic VFS flag has been ACKed by Al as an interims
 solution)

Update FMODE_NDELAY before each ioctl call so that we can kill the
magic FMODE_NDELAY_NOW.  It would be even better to do this directly
in setfl(), but for that we'd need to have FMODE_NDELAY for all files,

8290c35f87 Inode: Allow external list initialisation
To allow XFS to combine the XFS and linux inodes into a single
structure, we need to drive inode lookup from the XFS inode cache,
not the generic inode cache. This means that we need initialise a
struct inode from a context outside alloc_inode() as it is no longer
used by XFS.

After inode allocation and initialisation, we need to add the inode
to the superblock list, the in-use list, hash it and do some
accounting. This all needs to be done with the inode_lock held and
there are already several places in fs/inode.c that do this list
manipulation.  Factor out the common code, add a locking wrapper and
export the function so ti can be called from XFS.

f696a3659f [PATCH] move executable checking into ->permission()
For execute permission on a regular files we need to check if file has
any execute bits at all, regardless of capabilites.

This check is normally performed by generic_permission() but was also
added to the case when the filesystem defines its own ->permission()
method.  In the latter case the filesystem should be responsible for
performing this check.

Move the check from inode_permission() inside filesystems which are
not calling generic_permission().

Create a helper function execute_ok() that returns true if the inode
is a directory or if any execute bits are present in i_mode.

Also fix up the following code:

 - coda control file is never executable
 - sysctl files are never executable
 - hfs_permission seems broken on MAY_EXEC, remove
 - hfsplus_permission is eqivalent to generic_permission(), remove

d4430d62fa [PATCH] beginning of methods conversion
To keep the size of changesets sane we split the switch by drivers;
to keep the damn thing bisectable we do the following:
	1) rename the affected methods, add ones with correct
prototypes, make (few) callers handle both.  That's this changeset.
	2) for each driver convert to new methods.  *ALL* drivers
are converted in this series.
	3) kill the old (renamed) methods.

Note that it _is_ a flagday; all in-tree drivers are converted and by the
end of this series no trace of old methods remain.  The only reason why
we do that this way is to keep the damn thing bisectable and allow per-driver
debugging if anything goes wrong.

New methods:
	open(bdev, mode)
	release(disk, mode)
	ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg)		/* Called without BKL */
	compat_ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg)
	locked_ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg)	/* Called with BKL, legacy */

fb2dce862d Add 'discard' request handling
Some block devices benefit from a hint that they can forget the contents
of certain sectors. Add basic support for this to the block core, along
with a 'blkdev_issue_discard()' helper function which issues such
requests.

The caller doesn't get to provide an end_io functio, since
blkdev_issue_discard() will automatically split the request up into
multiple bios if appropriate. Neither does the function wait for
completion -- it's expected that callers won't care about when, or even
_if_, the request completes. It's only a hint to the device anyway. By
definition, the file system doesn't _care_ about these sectors any more.

68c9d702bb generic block based fiemap implementation
Any block based fs (this patch includes ext3) just has to declare its own
fiemap() function and then call this generic function with its own
get_block_t. This works well for block based filesystems that will map
multiple contiguous blocks at one time, but will work for filesystems that
only map one block at a time, you will just end up with an "extent" for each
block. One gotcha is this will not play nicely where there is hole+data
after the EOF. This function will assume its hit the end of the data as soon
as it hits a hole after the EOF, so if there is any data past that it will
not pick that up. AFAIK no block based fs does this anyway, but its in the
comments of the function anyway just in case.

c4b929b85b vfs: vfs-level fiemap interface
Basic vfs-level fiemap infrastructure, which sets up a new ->fiemap
inode operation.

Userspace can get extent information on a file via fiemap ioctl. As input,
the fiemap ioctl takes a struct fiemap which includes an array of struct
fiemap_extent (fm_extents). Size of the extent array is passed as
fm_extent_count and number of extents returned will be written into
fm_mapped_extents. Offset and length fields on the fiemap structure
(fm_start, fm_length) describe a logical range which will be searched for
extents. All extents returned will at least partially contain this range.
The actual extent offsets and ranges returned will be unmodified from their
offset and range on-disk.

The fiemap ioctl returns '0' on success. On error, -1 is returned and errno
is set. If errno is equal to EBADR, then fm_flags will contain those flags
which were passed in which the kernel did not understand. On all other
errors, the contents of fm_extents is undefined.

As fiemap evolved, there have been many authors of the vfs patch. As far as
I can tell, the list includes:

af558e33be nfsd: common grace period control
Rewrite grace period code to unify management of grace period across
lockd and nfsd.  The current code has lockd and nfsd cooperate to
compute a grace period which is satisfactory to them both, and then
individually enforce it.  This creates a slight race condition, since
the enforcement is not coordinated.  It's also more complicated than
necessary.

Here instead we have lockd and nfsd each inform common code when they
enter the grace period, and when they're ready to leave the grace
period, and allow normal locking only after both of them are ready to
leave.

We also expect the locks_start_grace()/locks_end_grace() interface here
to be simpler to build on for future cluster/high-availability work,
which may require (for example) putting individual filesystems into
grace, or enforcing grace periods across multiple cluster nodes.

8ab22b9abb vfs: pagecache usage optimization for pagesize!=blocksize
When we read some part of a file through pagecache, if there is a
pagecache of corresponding index but this page is not uptodate, read IO
is issued and this page will be uptodate.

I think this is good for pagesize == blocksize environment but there is
room for improvement on pagesize != blocksize environment.  Because in
this case a page can have multiple buffers and even if a page is not
uptodate, some buffers can be uptodate.

So I suggest that when all buffers which correspond to a part of a file
that we want to read are uptodate, use this pagecache and copy data from
this pagecache to user buffer even if a page is not uptodate.  This can
reduce read IO and improve system throughput.

I wrote a benchmark program and got result number with this program.

This benchmark do:

  1: mount and open a test file.

  2: create a 512MB file.

  3: close a file and umount.

  4: mount and again open a test file.

  5: pwrite randomly 300000 times on a test file.  offset is aligned
     by IO size(1024bytes).

  6: measure time of preading randomly 100000 times on a test file.

The result was:
	2.6.26
        330 sec

	2.6.26-patched
        226 sec

Arch:i386
Filesystem:ext3
Blocksize:1024 bytes
Memory: 1GB

On ext3/4, a file is written through buffer/block.  So random read/write
mixed workloads or random read after random write workloads are optimized
with this patch under pagesize != blocksize environment.  This test result
showed this.

The benchmark program is as follows:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <sys/mount.h>

#define LEN 1024
#define LOOP 1024*512 /* 512MB */

main(void)
{
	unsigned long i, offset, filesize;
	int fd;
	char buf[LEN];
	time_t t1, t2;

	if (mount("/dev/sda1", "/root/test1/", "ext3", 0, 0) < 0) {
		perror("cannot mount\n");
		exit(1);
	}
	memset(buf, 0, LEN);
	fd = open("/root/test1/testfile", O_CREAT|O_RDWR|O_TRUNC);
	if (fd < 0) {
		perror("cannot open file\n");
		exit(1);
	}
	for (i = 0; i < LOOP; i++)
		write(fd, buf, LEN);
	close(fd);
	if (umount("/root/test1/") < 0) {
		perror("cannot umount\n");
		exit(1);
	}
	if (mount("/dev/sda1", "/root/test1/", "ext3", 0, 0) < 0) {
		perror("cannot mount\n");
		exit(1);
	}
	fd = open("/root/test1/testfile", O_RDWR);
	if (fd < 0) {
		perror("cannot open file\n");
		exit(1);
	}

	filesize = LEN * LOOP;
	for (i = 0; i < 300000; i++){
		offset = (random() % filesize) & (~(LEN - 1));
		pwrite(fd, buf, LEN, offset);
	}
	printf("start test\n");
	time(&t1);
	for (i = 0; i < 100000; i++){
		offset = (random() % filesize) & (~(LEN - 1));
		pread(fd, buf, LEN, offset);
	}
	time(&t2);
	printf("%ld sec\n", t2-t1);
	close(fd);
	if (umount("/root/test1/") < 0) {
		perror("cannot umount\n");
		exit(1);
	}
}

9767d74957 [patch 1/4] vfs: utimes: move owner check into inode_change_ok()
Add a new ia_valid flag: ATTR_TIMES_SET, to handle the
UTIMES_OMIT/UTIMES_NOW and UTIMES_NOW/UTIMES_OMIT cases.  In these
cases neither ATTR_MTIME_SET nor ATTR_ATIME_SET is in the flags, yet
the POSIX draft specifies that permission checking is performed the
same way as if one or both of the times was explicitly set to a
timestamp.

See the path "vfs: utimensat(): fix error checking for
{UTIME_NOW,UTIME_OMIT} case" by Michael Kerrisk for the patch
introducing this behavior.

This is a cleanup, as well as allowing filesystems (NFS/fuse/...) to
perform their own permission checking instead of the default.

a110343f0d [PATCH] fix MAY_CHDIR/MAY_ACCESS/LOOKUP_ACCESS mess
* MAY_CHDIR is redundant - it's an equivalent of MAY_ACCESS
* MAY_ACCESS on fuse should affect only the last step of pathname resolution
* fchdir() and chroot() should pass MAY_ACCESS, for the same reason why
  chdir() needs that.
* now that we pass MAY_ACCESS explicitly in all cases, LOOKUP_ACCESS can be
  removed; it has no business being in nameidata.
