* NFS: Remove requirement for inode->i_mutex from nfs_invalidate_mappingTrond Myklebust2010-03-05

* NFS: Clean up nfs_sync_mappingTrond Myklebust2010-03-05

* NFS: Replace __nfs_write_mapping with sync_inode()Trond Myklebust2010-03-05
| | | | | | | | | | | Now that we have correct COMMIT semantics in writeback_single_inode, we can reduce and simplify nfs_wb_all(). Also replace nfs_wb_nocommit() with a call to filemap_write_and_wait(), which doesn't need to hold the inode->i_mutex. With that done, we can eliminate nfs_write_mapping() altogether.

* NFS: Simplify nfs_wb_page_cancel()Trond Myklebust2010-03-05
| | | | | | | In all cases we should be able to just remove the request and call cancel_dirty_page(). Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
* NFS: Ensure inode is always marked I_DIRTY_DATASYNC, if it has unstable pagesTrond Myklebust2010-03-05
| | | | | | | | Since nfs_scan_list() doesn't wait for locked pages, we have a race in which it is possible to end up with an inode that needs to send a COMMIT, but which does not have the I_DIRTY_DATASYNC flag set. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

* NFS: Reduce the number of unnecessary COMMIT callsTrond Myklebust2010-03-05
| | | | | | | | | | If the caller is doing a non-blocking flush, and there are still writebacks pending on the wire, we can usually defer the COMMIT call until those writes are done. Also ensure that we honour the wbc->nonblocking flag. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
* NFS: Add a count of the number of unstable writes carried by an inodeTrond Myklebust2010-03-05
| | | | | | | | In order to know when we should do opportunistic commits of the unstable writes, when the VM is doing a background flush, we add a field to count the number of unstable writes. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
* NFS: Cleanup - move nfs_write_inode() into fs/nfs/write.cTrond Myklebust2010-03-05
| | | | | | | The sole purpose of nfs_write_inode is to commit unstable writes, so move it into fs/nfs/write.c, and make nfs_commit_inode static. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

|\ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs-2.6 * 'write_inode2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs-2.6: pass writeback_control to ->write_inode make sure data is on disk before calling ->write_inode
| * pass writeback_control to ->write_inodeChristoph Hellwig2010-03-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This gives the filesystem more information about the writeback that is happening. Trond requested this for the NFS unstable write handling, and other filesystems might benefit from this too by beeing able to distinguish between the different callers in more detail.

| * make sure data is on disk before calling ->write_inodeChristoph Hellwig2010-03-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Similar to the fsync issue fixed a while ago in commit 2daea67e966dc0c42067ebea015ddac6834cef88 we need to write for data to actually hit the disk before writing out the metadata to guarantee data integrity for filesystems that modify the inode in the data I/O completion path. Currently XFS and NFS handle this manually, and AFS has a write_inode method that does nothing but waiting for data, while others are possibly missing out on this. Fortunately this change has a lot less impact than the fsync change as none of the write_inode methods starts data writeout of any form by itself.

| * | perf probe: Add lazy line matching supportMasami Hiramatsu2010-02-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add lazy line matching support for specifying new probes. This also changes the syntax of perf probe a bit. Now perf probe accepts one of below probe event definitions. 1) Define event based on function name [EVENT=]FUNC[@SRC][:RLN|+OFF|%return|;PTN] [ARG ...] 2) Define event based on source file with line number [EVENT=]SRC:ALN [ARG ...] 3) Define event based on source file with lazy pattern [EVENT=]SRC;PTN [ARG ...] - New lazy matching pattern(PTN) follows ';' (semicolon). And it must be put the end of the definition. - So, @SRC is no longer the part which must be put at the end of the definition. Note that ';' (semicolon) can be interpreted as the end of a command by the shell. This means that you need to quote it. (anyway you will need to quote the lazy pattern itself too, because it may contains other sensitive characters, like '[',']' etc.). Lazy matching ------------- The lazy line matching is similar to glob matching except ignoring spaces in both of pattern and target. e.g. 'a=*' can matches 'a=b', 'a = b', 'a == b' and so on. This provides some sort of flexibility and robustness to probe point definitions against minor code changes. (for example, actual 10th line of schedule() can be changed easily by modifying schedule(), but the same line matching 'rq=cpu_rq*' may still exist.) Changes in v3: - Cast Dwarf_Addr to uintmax_t for printf-formats. Changes in v2: - Cast Dwarf_Addr to unsigned long long for printf-formats.

| * | kprobes/x86: Support kprobes jump optimization on x86Masami Hiramatsu2010-02-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce x86 arch-specific optimization code, which supports both of x86-32 and x86-64. This code also supports safety checking, which decodes whole of a function in which probe is inserted, and checks following conditions before optimization: - The optimized instructions which will be replaced by a jump instruction don't straddle the function boundary. - There is no indirect jump instruction, because it will jumps into the address range which is replaced by jump operand. - There is no jump/loop instruction which jumps into the address range which is replaced by jump operand. - Don't optimize kprobes if it is in functions into which fixup code will jumps. This uses text_poke_multibyte() which doesn't support modifying code on NMI/MCE handler. However, since kprobes itself doesn't support NMI/MCE code probing, it's not a problem. Changes in v9: - Use *_text_reserved() for checking the probe can be optimized. - Verify jump address range is in 2G range when preparing slot. - Backup original code when switching optimized buffer, instead of preparing buffer, because there can be int3 of other probes in preparing phase. - Check kprobe is disabled in arch_check_optimized_kprobe(). - Strictly check indirect jump opcodes (ff /4, ff /5). Changes in v6: - Split stop_machine-based jump patching code. - Update comments and coding style. Changes in v5: - Introduce stop_machine-based jump replacing.

| * | x86: Add text_poke_smp for SMP cross modifying codeMasami Hiramatsu2010-02-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add generic text_poke_smp for SMP which uses stop_machine() to synchronize modifying code. This stop_machine() method is officially described at "7.1.3 Handling Self- and Cross-Modifying Code" on the intel's software developer's manual 3A. Since stop_machine() can't protect code against NMI/MCE, this function can not modify those handlers. And also, this function is basically for modifying multibyte-single-instruction. For modifying multibyte-multi-instructions, we need another special trap & detour code. This code originaly comes from immediate values with stop_machine() version. Thanks Jason and Mathieu!
