* xfs: add CRC infrastructureChristoph Hellwig2012-11-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - add a mount feature bit for CRC enabled filesystems - add some helpers for generating and verifying the CRCs - add a copy_uuid helper The checksumming helpers are loosely based on similar ones in sctp, all other bits come from Dave Chinner.

* xfs: add background scanning to clear eofblocks inodesBrian Foster2012-11-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Create a new mount workqueue and delayed_work to enable background scanning and freeing of eofblocks inodes. The scanner kicks in once speculative preallocation occurs and stops requeueing itself when no eofblocks inodes exist. The scan interval is based on the new 'speculative_prealloc_lifetime' tunable (default to 5m). The background scanner performs unfiltered, best effort scans (which skips inodes under lock contention or with a dirty cache mapping).

* xfs: revert to using a kthread for AIL pushingChristoph Hellwig2011-10-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently we have a few issues with the way the workqueue code is used to implement AIL pushing: - it accidentally uses the same workqueue as the syncer action, and thus can be prevented from running if there are enough sync actions active in the system. - it doesn't use the HIGHPRI flag to queue at the head of the queue of work items At this point I'm not confident enough in getting all the workqueue flags and tweaks right to provide a perfectly reliable execution context for AIL pushing, which is the most important piece in XFS to make forward progress when the log fills. Revert back to use a kthread per filesystem which fixes all the above issues at the cost of having a task struct and stack around for each mounted filesystem. In addition this also gives us much better ways to diagnose any issues involving hung AIL pushing and removes a small amount of code.

* xfs: remove subdirectoriesChristoph Hellwig2011-08-12
Use the move from Linux 2.6 to Linux 3.x as an excuse to kill the annoying subdirectories in the XFS source code. Besides the large amount of file rename the only changes are to the Makefile, a few files including headers with the subdirectory prefix, and the binary sysctl compat code that includes a header under fs/xfs/ from kernel/.
