Why do we need to write the superblock to disk once we've written
all the data? We don't actually - the reasons for doing this are
lost in the mists of time, and go back to the way Irix used to drive
VFS flushing.
On linux, this code is only called from two contexts: remount and
.sync_fs. In the remount case, the call is followed by a metadata
sync, which unpins and writes the superblock. In the sync_fs case,
we only need to force the log to disk to ensure that the superblock
is correctly on disk, so we don't actually need to write it. Hence
the functionality is either redundant or superfluous and thus can be
removed.
Seeing as xfs_quiesce_data is essentially now just a log force,
remove it as well and fold the code back into the two callers.
Neither of them need the log covering check, either, as that is
redundant for the remount case, and unnecessary for the .sync_fs
case.

With the syncd functions moved to the log and/or removed, the syncd
workqueue is the only remaining bit left. It is used by the log
covering/ail pushing work, as well as by the inode reclaim work.
Given how cheap workqueues are these days, give the log and inode
reclaim work their own work queues and kill the syncd work queue.

We don't do any data writeback from XFS any more - the VFS is
completely responsible for that, including for freeze. We can
replace the remaining caller with a VFS level function that
achieves the same thing, but without conflicting with current
writeback work.
This means we can remove the flush_work and xfs_flush_inodes() - the
VFS functionality completely replaces the internal flush queue for
doing this writeback work in a separate context to avoid stack
overruns.
This does have one complication - it cannot be called with page
locks held. Hence move the flushing of delalloc space when ENOSPC
occurs back up into xfs_file_aio_buffered_write when we don't hold
any locks that will stall writeback.
Unfortunately, writeback_inodes_sb_if_idle() is not sufficient to
trigger delalloc conversion fast enough to prevent spurious ENOSPC
whent here are hundreds of writers, thousands of small files and GBs
of free RAM. Hence we need to use sync_sb_inodes() to block callers
while we wait for writeback like the previous xfs_flush_inodes
implementation did.
That means we have to hold the s_umount lock here, but because this
call can nest inside i_mutex (the parent directory in the create
case, held by the VFS), we have to use down_read_trylock() to avoid
potential deadlocks. In practice, this trylock will succeed on
almost every attempt as unmount/remount type operations are
exceedingly rare.
Note: we always need to pass a count of zero to
generic_file_buffered_write() as the previously written byte count.
We only do this by accident before this patch by the virtue of ret
always being zero when there are no errors. Make this explicit
rather than needing to specifically zero ret in the ENOSPC retry
case.

When unmounting the filesystem, there are lots of operations that
need to be done in a specific order, and they are spread across
across a couple of functions. We have to drain the AIL before we
write the unmount record, and we have to shut down the background
log work before we do either of them.
But this is all split haphazardly across xfs_unmountfs() and
xfs_log_unmount(). Move all the AIL flushing and log manipulations
to xfs_log_unmount() so that the responisbilities of each function
is clear and the operations they perform obvious.

The only thing the periodic sync work does now is flush the AIL and
idle the log. These are really functions of the log code, so move
the work to xfs_log.c and rename it appropriately.
The only wart that this leaves behind is the xfssyncd_centisecs
sysctl, otherwise the xfssyncd is dead. Clean up any comments that
related to xfssyncd to reflect it's passing.

If the filesystem is mounted or remounted read-only, stop the sync
worker that tries to flush or cover the log if the filesystem is
dirty. It's read-only, so it isn't dirty. Restart it on a remount,rw
as necessary. This avoids the need for RO checks in the work.
Similarly, stop the sync work when the filesystem is frozen, and
start it again when the filesysetm is thawed. This avoids the need
for special freeze checks in the work.

Instead of starting and stopping background work on the xfs_mount_wq
all at the same time, separate them to where they really are needed
to start and stop.
The xfs_sync_worker, only needs to be started after all the mount
processing has completed successfully, while it needs to be stopped
before the log is unmounted.
The xfs_reclaim_worker is started on demand, and can be
stopped before the unmount process does it's own inode reclaim pass.
The xfs_flush_inodes work is run on demand, and so we really only
need to ensure that it has stopped running before we start
processing an unmount, freeze or remount,ro.

xfs_syncd_start and xfs_syncd_stop tie a bunch of unrelated

The hostprogs need access to the CONFIG_* symbols found in
include/generated/autoconf.h. But commit abbf1590de22 ("UAPI: Partition
the header include path sets and add uapi/ header directories") replaced
$(LINUXINCLUDE) with $(USERINCLUDE) which doesn't contain the necessary
include paths.
This has the undesirable effect of breaking the EFI boot stub because
the #ifdef CONFIG_EFI_STUB code in arch/x86/boot/tools/build.c is
never compiled.
It should also be noted that because $(USERINCLUDE) isn't exported by
the top-level Makefile it's actually empty in arch/x86/boot/Makefile.

Pull UAPI disintegration for include/linux/{,byteorder/}*.h from David Howells:
"The patches contained herein do the following:
(1) Remove kernel-only stuff in linux/ppp-comp.h from the UAPI. I checked
this with Paul Mackerras before I created the patch and he suggested some
extra bits to unexport.
(2) Remove linux/blk_types.h entirely from the UAPI as none of it is userspace
applicable, and remove from the UAPI that part of linux/fs.h that was the
reason for linux/blk_types.h being exported in the first place. I
discussed this with Jens Axboe before creating the patch.
(3) The big patch of the series to disintegrate include/linux/*.h as a unit.
This could be split up, though there would be collisions in moving stuff
between the two Kbuild files when the parts are merged as that file is
sorted alphabetically rather than being grouped by subsystem.
Of this set of headers, 17 files have changed in the UAPI exported region
since the 4th and only 8 since the 9th so there isn't much change in this
area - as one might expect.
It should be pretty obvious and straightforward if it does come to fixing
up: stuff in __KERNEL__ guards stays where it is and stuff outside moves
to the same file in the include/uapi/linux/ directory.
If a new file appears then things get a bit more complicated as the
"headers +=" line has to move to include/uapi/linux/Kbuild. Only one new
file has appeared since the 9th and I judge this type of event relatively
unlikely.

As suggested by Andrew Morton:
This is a pet peeve of mine. Any time there's a long list of items
(header file inclusions, kconfig entries, array initalisers, etc) and
someone wants to add a new item, they *always* go and stick it at the
end of the list.
Guys, don't do this. Either put the new item into a randomly-chosen
position or, probably better, alphanumerically sort the list.
lets sort all our select statements alphanumerically. This commit was
created by the following perl:
while (<>) {
while (/\\\s*$/) {
$_ .= <>;
}
undef %selects if /^\s*config\s+/;
if (/^\s+select\s+(\w+).*/) {
if (defined($selects{$1})) {
if ($selects{$1} eq $_) {
print STDERR "Warning: removing duplicated $1 entry\n";
} else {
print STDERR "Error: $1 differently selected\n".
"\tOld: $selects{$1}\n".
"\tNew: $_\n";
exit 1;
}
}
$selects{$1} = $_;
next;
}
if (%selects and (/^\s*$/ or /^\s+help/ or /^\s+---help---/ or
/^endif/ or /^endchoice/)) {
foreach $k (sort (keys %selects)) {
print "$selects{$k}";
}
undef %selects;
}
print;
}
if (%selects) {
foreach $k (sort (keys %selects)) {
print "$selects{$k}";
}
}
It found two duplicates:
Warning: removing duplicated S5P_SETUP_MIPIPHY entry
Warning: removing duplicated HARDIRQS_SW_RESEND entry
and they are identical duplicates, hence the shrinkage in the diffstat
of two lines.
We have four testers reporting success of this change (Tony, Stephen,

Pull device-mapper changes from Alasdair G Kergon:
"Remove the power-of-2 block size constraint on discards in dm thin
provisioning and factor the bio_prison code out into a separate module
(for sharing with the forthcoming cache target).
Use struct bio's front_pad to eliminate the use of one separate
mempool by bio-based devices.
A few other tiny clean-ups."

Pull input layer updates from Dmitry Torokhov:
"2nd round of updates for the input subsystem. With it input core no
longer limits number of character devices per event handler (such as
evdev) to 32, but switches to dynamic minors once legacy range is
exhausted. This should get multi-seat installations that currently
run our of event devices very quickly.
You will also get an update for Wacom driver and a couple of driver
fixes."

Pull nfsd update from J Bruce Fields:
"Another relatively quiet cycle. There was some progress on my
remaining 4.1 todo's, but a couple of them were just of the form
"check that we do X correctly", so didn't have much affect on the

Other than that, a bunch of cleanup and some bugfixes (including an
annoying NFSv4.0 state leak and a busy-loop in the server that could
cause it to peg the CPU without making progress)."

netback drivers needs some adjustments in order to handle this. Fix
from Ian Campbell.

Pull third pile of kernel_execve() patches from Al Viro:
"The last bits of infrastructure for kernel_thread() et.al., with
alpha/arm/x86 use of those. Plus sanitizing the asm glue and
do_notify_resume() on alpha, fixing the "disabled irq while running
task_work stuff" breakage there.
At that point the rest of kernel_thread/kernel_execve/sys_execve work
can be done independently for different architectures. The only
pending bits that do depend on having all architectures converted are
restrictred to fs/* and kernel/* - that'll obviously have to wait for
the next cycle.
I thought we'd have to wait for all of them done before we start
eliminating the longjump-style insanity in kernel_execve(), but it
turned out there's a very simple way to do that without flagday-style
changes."
* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/signal:
alpha: switch to saner kernel_execve() semantics
arm: switch to saner kernel_execve() semantics

infrastructure for saner ret_from_kernel_thread semantics
make sure that kernel_thread() callbacks call do_exit() themselves
make sure that we always have a return path from kernel_execve()
ppc: eeh_event should just use kthread_run()
don't bother with kernel_thread/kernel_execve for launching linuxrc
alpha: get rid of switch_stack argument of do_work_pending()
alpha: don't bother passing switch_stack separately from regs
