192e501b04 nfs: prevent page allocator recursions with swap over NFS.
GFP_NOFS is _more_ permissive than GFP_NOIO in that it will initiate IO,
just not of any filesystem data.

The problem is that previously NOFS was correct because that avoids
recursion into the NFS code.  With swap-over-NFS, it is no longer correct
as swap IO can lead to this recursion.

89d77c8fa8 NFS: Convert v4 into a module
This patch exports symbols needed by the v4 module.  In addition, I also
switch over to using IS_ENABLED() to check if CONFIG_NFS_V4 or
CONFIG_NFS_V4_MODULE are set.

The module (nfs4.ko) will be created in the same directory as nfs.ko and
will be automatically loaded the first time you try to mount over NFS v4.

3aff4ebb95 NFS: Prevent a deadlock in the new writeback code
We have to unlock the nfs_page before we call nfs_end_page_writeback
to avoid races with functions that expect the page to be unlocked
when PG_locked and PG_writeback are not set.
The problem is that nfs_unlock_request also releases the nfs_page,
causing a deadlock if the release of the nfs_open_context
triggers an iput() while the PG_writeback flag is still set...

The solution is to separate the unlocking and release of the nfs_page,
so that we can do the former before nfs_end_page_writeback and the
latter after.

4db6e0b74c NFS: merge _full and _partial read rpc_ops
Decouple nfs_pgio_header and nfs_read_data, and have (possibly
multiple) nfs_read_datas each take a refcount on nfs_pgio_header.

For the moment keeps nfs_read_header as a way to preallocate a single
nfs_read_data with the nfs_pgio_header.  The code doesn't need this,
and would be prettier without, but given the amount of churn I am
already introducing I didn't want to play with tuning new mempools.

This also fixes bug in pnfs_ld_handle_read_error.  In the case of
desc->pg_bsize < PAGE_CACHE_SIZE, the pages list was empty, causing
replay attempt to do nothing.

4d65c520fb NFS: Fix a hang in the writeback path
Now that the inode scalability patches have been merged, it is no longer
safe to call igrab() under the inode->i_lock.
Now that we no longer call nfs_clear_request() until the nfs_page is
being freed, we know that we are always holding a reference to the
nfs_open_context, which again holds a reference to the path, and so
the inode cannot be freed until the last nfs_page has been removed
from the radix tree and freed.

We can therefore skip the igrab()/iput() altogether.

a861a1e1c3 NFSv4.1: add generic layer hooks for pnfs COMMIT
We create three major hooks for the pnfs code.

pnfs_mark_request_commit() is called during writeback_done from
nfs_mark_request_commit, which gives the driver an opportunity to
claim it wants control over commiting a particular req.

pnfs_choose_commit_list() is called from nfs_scan_list
to choose which list a given req should be added to, based on
where we intend to send it for COMMIT.  It is up to the driver
to have preallocated list headers for each destination it may need.

pnfs_commit_list() is how the driver actually takes control, it is
used instead of nfs_commit_list().

In order to pass information between the above functions, we create
a union in nfs_page to hold a lseg (which is possible because the req is
not on any list while in transition), and add some flags to indicate
if we need to use the pnfs code.

2df485a774 nfs: remove extraneous and problematic calls to nfs_clear_request
When a nfs_page is freed, nfs_free_request is called which also calls
nfs_clear_request to clean out the lock and open contexts and free the
pagecache page.

However, a couple of places in the nfs code call nfs_clear_request
themselves. What happens here if the refcount on the request is still high?
We'll be releasing contexts and freeing pointers while the request is
possibly still in use.

Remove those bare calls to nfs_clear_context. That should only be done when
the request is being freed.

Note that when doing this, we need to watch out for tests of req->wb_page.
Previously, nfs_set_page_tag_locked() and nfs_clear_page_tag_locked()
would check the value of req->wb_page to figure out if the page is mapped
into the nfsi->nfs_page_tree. We now indicate the page is mapped using
the new bit PG_MAPPED in req->wb_flags .

9f557cd807 NFS: Fix an Oops when truncating a file
The VM/VFS does not allow mapping->a_ops->invalidatepage() to fail.
Unfortunately, nfs_wb_page_cancel() may fail if a fatal signal occurs.
Since the NFS code assumes that the page stays mapped for as long as the
writeback is active, we can end up Oopsing (among other things).

The only safe fix here is to convert nfs_wait_on_request(), so as to make
it uninterruptible (as is already the case with wait_on_page_writeback()).

72cb77f4a5 NFS: Throttle page dirtying while we're flushing to disk
The following patch is a combination of a patch by myself and Peter
Staubach.

Trond: If we allow other processes to dirty pages while a process is doing
a consistency sync to disk, we can end up never making progress.

Peter: Attached is a patch which addresses a continuing problem with
the NFS client generating out of order WRITE requests.  While
this is compliant with all of the current protocol
specifications, there are servers in the market which can not
handle out of order WRITE requests very well.  Also, this may
lead to sub-optimal block allocations in the underlying file
system on the server.  This may cause the read throughputs to
be reduced when reading the file from the server.

Peter: There has been a lot of work recently done to address out of
order issues on a systemic level.  However, the NFS client is
still susceptible to the problem.  Out of order WRITE
requests can occur when pdflush is in the middle of writing
out pages while the process dirtying the pages calls
generic_file_buffered_write which calls
generic_perform_write which calls
balance_dirty_pages_rate_limited which ends up calling
writeback_inodes which ends up calling back into the NFS
client to writes out dirty pages for the same file that
pdflush happens to be working with.

7fe7f8487a NFS: Avoid a deadlock situation on write
When processes are allowed to attempt to lock a non-contiguous range of nfs
write requests, it is possible for generic_writepages to 'wrap round' the
address space, and call writepage() on a request that is already locked by
the same process.

We avoid the deadlock by checking if the page index is contiguous with the
list of nfs write requests that is already held in our
nfs_pageio_descriptor prior to attempting to lock a new request.

e8edc6e03a Detach sched.h from mm.h
First thing mm.h does is including sched.h solely for can_do_mlock() inline
function which has "current" dereference inside. By dealing with can_do_mlock()
mm.h can be detached from sched.h which is good. See below, why.

This patch
a) removes unconditional inclusion of sched.h from mm.h
b) makes can_do_mlock() normal function in mm/mlock.c
c) exports can_do_mlock() to not break compilation
d) adds sched.h inclusions back to files that were getting it indirectly.
e) adds less bloated headers to some files (asm/signal.h, jiffies.h) that were
   getting them indirectly

Net result is:
a) mm.h users would get less code to open, read, preprocess, parse, ... if
   they don't need sched.h
b) sched.h stops being dependency for significant number of files:
   on x86_64 allmodconfig touching sched.h results in recompile of 4083 files,
   after patch it's only 3744 (-8.3%).

Cross-compile tested on

	all arm defconfigs, all mips defconfigs, all powerpc defconfigs,
	alpha alpha-up
	arm
	i386 i386-up i386-defconfig i386-allnoconfig

c63c7b0513 NFS: Fix a race when doing NFS write coalescing
Currently we do write coalescing in a very inefficient manner: one pass in
generic_writepages() in order to lock the pages for writing, then one pass
in nfs_flush_mapping() and/or nfs_sync_mapping_wait() in order to gather
the locked pages for coalescing into RPC requests of size "wsize".

In fact, it turns out there is actually a deadlock possible here since we
only start I/O on the second pass. If the user signals the process while
we're in nfs_sync_mapping_wait(), for instance, then we may exit before
starting I/O on all the requests that have been queued up.

f7b422b17e NFS: Split fs/nfs/inode.c
As fs/nfs/inode.c is rather large, heterogenous and unwieldy, the attached
patch splits it up into a number of files:

 (*) fs/nfs/inode.c

     Strictly inode specific functions.

 (*) fs/nfs/super.c

     Superblock management functions for NFS and NFS4, normal access, clones
     and referrals.  The NFS4 superblock functions _could_ move out into a
     separate conditionally compiled file, but it's probably not worth it as
     there're so many common bits.

 (*) fs/nfs/namespace.c

     Some namespace-specific functions have been moved here.

 (*) fs/nfs/nfs4namespace.c

     NFS4-specific namespace functions (this could be merged into the previous
     file).  This file is conditionally compiled.

 (*) fs/nfs/internal.h

     Inter-file declarations, plus a few simple utility functions moved from
     fs/nfs/inode.c.

     Additionally, all the in-.c-file externs have been moved here, and those
     files they were moved from now includes this file.

For the most part, the functions have not been changed, only some multiplexor
functions have changed significantly.

I've also:

 (*) Added some extra banner comments above some functions.

 (*) Rearranged the function order within the files to be more logical and
     better grouped (IMO), though someone may prefer a different order.

 (*) Reduced the number of #ifdefs in .c files.

 (*) Added missing __init and __exit directives.

This means that it is possible to be flushing out data (and calling something

are always written back to storage before we evict them.
