This also gets rid of a lot of useless read_file stuff. And also
optimises the full page write case by marking a !uptodate page uptodate.

New buffers against uptodate pages are simply be marked uptodate, while the
buffer_new bit remains set. This causes error-case code to zero out parts of
those buffers because it thinks they contain stale data: wrong, they are
actually uptodate so this is a data loss situation.
Fix this by actually clearning buffer_new and marking the buffer dirty. It
makes sense to always clear buffer_new before setting a buffer uptodate.

Quite a bit of code is used in maintaining these "cached pages" that are
probably pretty unlikely to get used. It would require a narrow race where
the page is inserted concurrently while this process is allocating a page
in order to create the spare page. Then a multi-page write into an uncached
part of the file, to make use of it.
Next, the buffered write path (and others) uses its own LRU pagevec when it
should be just using the per-CPU LRU pagevec (which will cut down on both data
and code size cacheline footprint). Also, these private LRU pagevecs are
emptied after just a very short time, in contrast with the per-CPU pagevecs
that are persistent. Net result: 7.3 times fewer lru_lock acquisitions required
to add the pages to pagecache for a bulk write (in 4K chunks).

nobh mode error handling is not just pretty slack, it's wrong.
One cannot zero out the whole page to ensure new blocks are zeroed, because
it just brings the whole page "uptodate" with zeroes even if that may not
be the correct uptodate data. Also, other parts of the page may already
contain dirty data which would get lost by zeroing it out. Thirdly, the
writeback of zeroes to the new blocks will also erase existing blocks. All
these conditions are pagecache and/or filesystem corruption.
The problem comes about because we didn't keep track of which buffers
actually are new or old. However it is not enough just to keep only this
state, because at the point we start dirtying parts of the page (new
blocks, with zeroes), the handling of IO errors becomes impossible without
buffers because the page may only be partially uptodate, in which case the
page flags allone cannot capture the state of the parts of the page.
So allocate all buffers for the page upfront, but leave them unattached so
that they don't pick up any other references and can be freed when we're
done. If the error path is hit, then zero the new buffers as the regular
buffer path does, then attach the buffers to the page so that it can
actually be written out correctly and be subject to the normal IO error
handling paths.
As an upshot, we save 1K of kernel stack on ia64 or powerpc 64K page
systems.

The commit b5810039a5 contains the note
A last caveat: the ZERO_PAGE is now refcounted and managed with rmap
(and thus mapcounted and count towards shared rss). These writes to
the struct page could cause excessive cacheline bouncing on big
systems. There are a number of ways this could be addressed if it is
an issue.
And indeed this cacheline bouncing has shown up on large SGI systems.
There was a situation where an Altix system was essentially livelocked
tearing down ZERO_PAGE pagetables when an HPC app aborted during startup.
This situation can be avoided in userspace, but it does highlight the
potential scalability problem with refcounting ZERO_PAGE, and corner
cases where it can really hurt (we don't want the system to livelock!).
There are several broad ways to fix this problem:
1. add back some special casing to avoid refcounting ZERO_PAGE
2. per-node or per-cpu ZERO_PAGES
3. remove the ZERO_PAGE completely
I will argue for 3. The others should also fix the problem, but they
result in more complex code than does 3, with little or no real benefit
that I can see.
Why? Inserting a ZERO_PAGE for anonymous read faults appears to be a
false optimisation: if an application is performance critical, it would
not be doing many read faults of new memory, or at least it could be
expected to write to that memory soon afterwards. If cache or memory use
is critical, it should not be working with a significant number of
ZERO_PAGEs anyway (a more compact representation of zeroes should be
used).
As a sanity check -- mesuring on my desktop system, there are never many
mappings to the ZERO_PAGE (eg. 2 or 3), thus memory usage here should not
increase much without it.
When running a make -j4 kernel compile on my dual core system, there are
about 1,000 mappings to the ZERO_PAGE created per second, but about 1,000
ZERO_PAGE COW faults per second (less than 1 ZERO_PAGE mapping per second
is torn down without being COWed). So removing ZERO_PAGE will save 1,000
page faults per second when running kbuild, while keeping it only saves
less than 1 page clearing operation per second. 1 page clear is cheaper
than a thousand faults, presumably, so there isn't an obvious loss.
Neither the logical argument nor these basic tests give a guarantee of no
regressions. However, this is a reasonable opportunity to try to remove
the ZERO_PAGE from the pagefault path. If it is found to cause regressions,
we can reintroduce it and just avoid refcounting it.
The /dev/zero ZERO_PAGE usage and TLB tricks also get nuked. I don't see
much use to them except on benchmarks. All other users of ZERO_PAGE are
converted just to use ZERO_PAGE(0) for simplicity. We can look at
replacing them all and maybe ripping out ZERO_PAGE completely when we are
more satisfied with this solution.

Sysfs file poll implementation is scattered over sysfs and kobject.
Event numbering is done in sysfs_dirent but wait itself is done on
kobject. This not only unecessarily bloats both kobject and
sysfs_dirent but is also buggy - if a sysfs_dirent is removed while
there still are pollers, the associaton betwen the kobject and
sysfs_dirent breaks and kobject may be freed with the pollers still
sleeping on it.
This patch moves whole poll implementation into sysfs_open_dirent.
Each time a sysfs_open_dirent is created, event number restarts from 1
and pollers sleep on sysfs_open_dirent. As event sequence number is
meaningless without any open file and pollers should have open file
and thus sysfs_open_dirent, this ephemeral event counting works and is
a saner implementation.
This patch fixes the dnagling sleepers bug and reduces the sizes of
kobject and sysfs_dirent by one pointer.

of the contents of the dcache, making sysfs_move_dir
more like the rest of the sysfs directory modification
code.

The only uses of s_dentry left are the code that maintains
s_dentry and trivial users that don't actually need it.
So this patch removes the s_dentry maintenance code and
restructures the trivial uses to use something else.

Now that we know the sysfs tree structure cannot change under us and
sysfs shadow support is dropped, sysfs_get_dentry() can be simplified
greatly. It can just look up from the root and there's no need to
retry on failure.

Looking carefully at the rename code we have a subtle dependency
that the structure of sysfs not change while we are performing
a rename. If the parent directory of the object we are renaming
changes while the rename is being performed nasty things could
happen when we go to release our locks.
So introduce a sysfs_rename_mutex to prevent this highly
unlikely theoretical issue.
In addition hold sysfs_rename_mutex over all calls to
sysfs_get_dentry. Allowing sysfs_get_dentry to be simplified
in the future.

Currently we find the dentry to drop by looking at sd->s_dentry.
We can just as easily accomplish the same task by looking up the
sysfs inode and finding all of the dentries from there, with the
added bonus that we don't need to play with the sysfs_assoc_lock.

At some point someone wrote sysfs_readdir to insert a cursor
into the list of sysfs_dirents to ensure that sysfs_readdir would
restart properly. That works but it is complex code and tends
to be expensive.
The same effect can be achieved by keeping the sysfs_dirents in
inode order and using the inode number as the f_pos. Then
when we restart we just have to find the first dirent whose inode
number is equal or greater then the last sysfs_dirent we attempted
to return.
Removing the sysfs directory cursor also allows the remove of
all of the mysterious checks for sysfs_type(sd) != 0. Which
were nonbovious checks to see if a cursor was in a directory list.

This patch modifies the users of sysfs_mount to use sysfs_root
instead (which is what they are looking for). It then
makes sysfs_mount static to keep people from using it
by accident.
The net result is slightly faster and cleaner code.

Since sysfs no longer stores fs directory information in the dcache
on a permanent basis kill_litter_super it is inappropriate and actively
wrong. It will decrement the count on all dentries left in the
dcache before trying to free them.
At the moment this is not biting us only because we never unmount sysfs.

When adding or removing a sysfs_dirent, the user used to be required
to call link/unlink separately. It was for two reasons - code looked
like that before sysfs_addrm_cxt conversion and to avoid looping
through parent_sd->children list twice during removal.
Performance optimization during removal just isn't worth it. Make
sysfs_add/remove_one() call sysfs_link/unlink_sibing() implicitly.
This makes code simpler albeit slightly less efficient. This change
doesn't introduce any noticeable behavior change.

While shadow directories appear to be a good idea, the current scheme
of controlling their creation and destruction outside of sysfs appears
to be a locking and maintenance nightmare in the face of sysfs
directories dynamically coming and going. Which can now occur for
directories containing network devices when CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED is
not set.
This patch removes everything from the initial shadow directory support
that allowed the shadow directory creation to be controlled at a higher
level. So except for a few bits of sysfs_rename_dir everything from
commit b592fcfe7f is now gone.

Create all new directories with OCFS2_INLINE_DATA_FL and the inline data
bytes formatted as an empty directory. Inode size field reflects the actual
amount of inline data available, which makes searching for dirent space
very similar to the regular directory search.
Inline-data directories are automatically pushed out to extents on any
insert request which is too large for the available space.

This splits out extent based directory read support and implements
