Pass the object size in to fscache_acquire_cookie() and
fscache_write_page() rather than the netfs providing a callback by which it
can be received. This makes it easier to update the size of the object
when a new page is written that extends the object.
The current object size is also passed by fscache to the check_aux
function, obviating the need to store it in the aux data.

Add more tracepoints to fscache, including:
(*) fscache_page - Tracks netfs pages known to fscache.
(*) fscache_check_page - Tracks the netfs querying whether a page is
pending storage.
(*) fscache_wake_cookie - Tracks cookies being woken up after a page
completes/aborts storage in the cache.
(*) fscache_op - Tracks operations being initialised.
(*) fscache_wrote_page - Tracks return of the backend write_page op.
(*) fscache_gang_lookup - Tracks lookup of pages to be stored in the write
operation.

If the fscache asynchronous write operation elects to discard a page that's
pending storage to the cache because the page would be over the store limit
then it needs to wake the page as someone may be waiting on completion of
the write.
The problem is that the store limit may be updated by a different
asynchronous operation - and so may miss the write - and that the store
limit may not even get updated until later by the netfs.
Fix the kernel hang by making fscache_write_op() mark as written any pages
that are over the limit.

The last parameter to fscache_op_complete() is a bool indicating whether or
not the operation was cancelled. A lot of the time the inverse value is
given or no differentiation is made. Fix this.

Every pagevec_init user claims the pages being released are hot even in
cases where it is unlikely the pages are hot. As no one cares about the
hotness of pages being released to the allocator, just ditch the
parameter.
No performance impact is expected as the overhead is marginal. The
parameter is removed simply because it is a bit stupid to have a useless
parameter copied everywhere.

PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.
This promise never materialized. And unlikely will.
We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.
Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.
Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are
not.
The changes are pretty straight-forward:
- <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
- <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
- PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};
- page_cache_get() -> get_page();
- page_cache_release() -> put_page();
This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.
The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.
There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch. Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

Handle a write being requested to the page immediately beyond the EOF
marker on a cache object. Currently this gets an assertion failure in
CacheFiles because the EOF marker is used there to encode information about
a partial page at the EOF - which could lead to an unknown blank spot in
the file if we extend the file over it.
The problem is actually in fscache where we check the index of the page
being written against store_limit. store_limit is set to the number of
pages that we're allowed to store by fscache_set_store_limit() - which
means it's one more than the index of the last page we're allowed to store.
The problem is that we permit writing to a page with an index _equal_ to
the store limit - when we should reject that case.
Whilst we're at it, change the triggered assertion in CacheFiles to just
return -ENOBUFS instead.
The assertion failure looks something like this:
CacheFiles: Assertion failed
1000 < 7b1 is false

sleep and avoiding waking kswapd
__GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold
spinlocks or are in interrupts. They are expected to be high priority and
have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred
to as the "atomic reserve". __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first
lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve".
Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options
were available. Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where
an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic
reserves.
This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic,
cannot sleep and have no alternative. High priority users continue to use
__GFP_HIGH. __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and
are willing to enter direct reclaim. __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify
callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim. __GFP_WAIT is
redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake
kswapd for background reclaim.
This patch then converts a number of sites
o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory
pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag.
o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear
__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall
into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves
are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress.
o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the
helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because
checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false
positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent
is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to
flag manipulations.
o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL
and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM.
The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT
and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons.
In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH.
The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of
GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL. They may
now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. It's almost certainly harmless
if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.

Now that the retrieval operation may be disposed of by fscache_put_operation()
before we actually set the context, the retrieval-specific cleanup operation
can produce a NULL-pointer dereference when it tries to unconditionally clean
up the netfs context.
Given that it is expected that we'll get at least as far as the place where we
currently set the context pointer and it is unlikely we'll go through the
error handling paths prior to that point, retain the context right from the
point that the retrieval op is allocated.
Concomitant to this, we need to retain the cookie pointer in the retrieval op
also so that we can call the netfs to release its context in the release
method.
In addition, we might now get into fscache_release_retrieval_op() with the op
only initialised. To this end, set the operation to DEAD only after the
release method has been called and skip the n_pages test upon cleanup if the
op is still in the INITIALISED state.
Without these changes, the following oops might be seen:

Any time an incomplete operation is cancelled, the operation cancellation
function needs to be called to clean up. This is currently being passed
directly to some of the functions that might want to call it, but not all.
Instead, pass the cancellation method pointer to the fscache_operation_init()
and have that cache it in the operation struct. Further, plug in a dummy
cancellation handler if the caller declines to set one as this allows us to
call the function unconditionally (the extra overhead isn't worth bothering
about as we don't expect to be calling this typically).
The cancellation method must thence be called everywhere the CANCELLED state
is set. Note that we call it *before* setting the CANCELLED state such that
the method can use the old state value to guide its operation.
fscache_do_cancel_retrieval() needs moving higher up in the sources so that
the init function can use it now.
Without this, the following oops may be seen:

Call fscache_put_operation() or a wrapper on any op that has gone through
fscache_operation_init() so that the accounting shown in /proc is done
correctly, specifically fscache_n_op_release.
fscache_put_operation() therefore now allows an op in the INITIALISED state as
well as in the CANCELLED and COMPLETE states.
Note that this means that an operation can get put that doesn't have its
->object pointer filled in, so anything that depends on the object needs to be
conditional in fscache_put_operation().

Currently, fscache_cancel_op() only cancels pending operations - attempts to
cancel in-progress operations are ignored. This leads to a problem in
fscache_wait_for_operation_activation() whereby the wait is terminated, but
the object has been killed.
The check at the end of the function now triggers because it's no longer
contingent on the cache having produced an I/O error since the commit that
fixed the logic error in fscache_object_is_dead().
The result of the check is that it tries to cancel the operation - but since
the object may not be pending by this point, the cancellation request may be
ignored - with the result that the the object is just put by the caller and
fscache_put_operation has an assertion failure because the operation isn't in
either the COMPLETE or the CANCELLED states.
To fix this, we permit in-progress ops to be cancelled under some
circumstances.
The bug results in an oops that looks something like this:

fscache_object_is_dead() returns true only if the object is marked dead and
the cache got an I/O error. This should be a logical OR instead. Since two
of the callers got split up into handling for separate subcases, expand the
other callers and kill the function. This is probably the right thing to do
anyway since one of the subcases isn't about the object at all, but rather
about the cache.

The current "wait_on_bit" interface requires an 'action'
function to be provided which does the actual waiting.
There are over 20 such functions, many of them identical.
Most cases can be satisfied by one of just two functions, one
which uses io_schedule() and one which just uses schedule().
So:
Rename wait_on_bit and wait_on_bit_lock to
wait_on_bit_action and wait_on_bit_lock_action
to make it explicit that they need an action function.
Introduce new wait_on_bit{,_lock} and wait_on_bit{,_lock}_io
which are *not* given an action function but implicitly use
a standard one.
The decision to error-out if a signal is pending is now made
based on the 'mode' argument rather than being encoded in the action
function.
All instances of the old wait_on_bit and wait_on_bit_lock which
can use the new version have been changed accordingly and their
action functions have been discarded.
wait_on_bit{_lock} does not return any specific error code in the
event of a signal so the caller must check for non-zero and
interpolate their own error code as appropriate.
The wait_on_bit() call in __fscache_wait_on_invalidate() was
ambiguous as it specified TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE but used
fscache_wait_bit_interruptible as an action function.
David Howells confirms this should be uniformly
"uninterruptible"
The main remaining user of wait_on_bit{,_lock}_action is NFS
which needs to use a freezer-aware schedule() call.
A comment in fs/gfs2/glock.c notes that having multiple 'action'
functions is useful as they display differently in the 'wchan'
field of 'ps'. (and /proc/$PID/wchan).
As the new bit_wait{,_io} functions are tagged "__sched", they
will not show up at all, but something higher in the stack. So
the distinction will still be visible, only with different
function names (gds2_glock_wait versus gfs2_glock_dq_wait in the
gfs2/glock.c case).
Since first version of this patch (against 3.15) two new action
functions appeared, on in NFS and one in CIFS. CIFS also now
uses an action function that makes the same freezer aware
schedule call as NFS.

Provide the ability to enable and disable fscache cookies. A disabled cookie
will reject or ignore further requests to:
Acquire a child cookie
Invalidate and update backing objects
Check the consistency of a backing object
Allocate storage for backing page
Read backing pages
Write to backing pages
but still allows:
Checks/waits on the completion of already in-progress objects
Uncaching of pages
Relinquishment of cookies
Two new operations are provided:
(1) Disable a cookie:
void fscache_disable_cookie(struct fscache_cookie *cookie,
bool invalidate);
If the cookie is not already disabled, this locks the cookie against other
dis/enablement ops, marks the cookie as being disabled, discards or
invalidates any backing objects and waits for cessation of activity on any
associated object.
This is a wrapper around a chunk split out of fscache_relinquish_cookie(),
but it reinitialises the cookie such that it can be reenabled.
All possible failures are handled internally. The caller should consider
calling fscache_uncache_all_inode_pages() afterwards to make sure all page
markings are cleared up.
(2) Enable a cookie:
void fscache_enable_cookie(struct fscache_cookie *cookie,
bool (*can_enable)(void *data),
void *data)
If the cookie is not already enabled, this locks the cookie against other
dis/enablement ops, invokes can_enable() and, if the cookie is not an
index cookie, will begin the procedure of acquiring backing objects.
The optional can_enable() function is passed the data argument and returns
a ruling as to whether or not enablement should actually be permitted to
begin.
All possible failures are handled internally. The cookie will only be
marked as enabled if provisional backing objects are allocated.
A later patch will introduce these to NFS. Cookie enablement during nfs_open()
is then contingent on i_writecount <= 0. can_enable() checks for a race
between open(O_RDONLY) and open(O_WRONLY/O_RDWR). This simplifies NFS's cookie
handling and allows us to get rid of open(O_RDONLY) accidentally introducing
caching to an inode that's open for writing already.
One operation has its API modified:
(3) Acquire a cookie.
struct fscache_cookie *fscache_acquire_cookie(
struct fscache_cookie *parent,
const struct fscache_cookie_def *def,
void *netfs_data,
bool enable);
This now has an additional argument that indicates whether the requested
cookie should be enabled by default. It doesn't need the can_enable()
function because the caller must prevent multiple calls for the same netfs
object and it doesn't need to take the enablement lock because no one else
can get at the cookie before this returns.

Add wrapper functions for dealing with cookie->n_active:
(*) __fscache_use_cookie() to increment it.
(*) __fscache_unuse_cookie() to decrement and test against zero.
(*) __fscache_wake_unused_cookie() to wake up anyone waiting for it to reach
zero.
The second and third are split so that the third can be done after cookie->lock
has been released in case the waiter wakes up whilst we're still holding it and
tries to get it.
We will need to wake-on-zero once the cookie disablement patch is applied
because it will then be possible to see n_active become zero without the cookie
being relinquished.
Also move the cookie usement out of fscache_attr_changed_op() and into
fscache_attr_changed() and the operation struct so that cookie disablement
will be able to track it.
Whilst we're at it, only increment n_active if we're about to do
fscache_submit_op() so that we don't have to deal with undoing it if anything
earlier fails. Possibly this should be moved into fscache_submit_op() which
could look at FSCACHE_OP_UNUSE_COOKIE.

With users of radix_tree_preload() run from interrupt (block/blk-ioc.c is
one such possible user), the following race can happen:
radix_tree_preload()
...
radix_tree_insert()
radix_tree_node_alloc()
if (rtp->nr) {
ret = rtp->nodes[rtp->nr - 1];
<interrupt>
...
radix_tree_preload()
...
radix_tree_insert()
radix_tree_node_alloc()
if (rtp->nr) {
ret = rtp->nodes[rtp->nr - 1];
And we give out one radix tree node twice. That clearly results in radix
tree corruption with different results (usually OOPS) depending on which
two users of radix tree race.
We fix the problem by making radix_tree_node_alloc() always allocate fresh
radix tree nodes when in interrupt. Using preloading when in interrupt
doesn't make sense since all the allocations have to be atomic anyway and
we cannot steal nodes from process-context users because some users rely
on radix_tree_insert() succeeding after radix_tree_preload().
in_interrupt() check is somewhat ugly but we cannot simply key off passed
gfp_mask as that is acquired from root_gfp_mask() and thus the same for
all preload users.
Another part of the fix is to avoid node preallocation in
radix_tree_preload() when passed gfp_mask doesn't allow waiting. Again,
preallocation in such case doesn't make sense and when preallocation would
happen in interrupt we could possibly leak some allocated nodes. However,
some users of radix_tree_preload() require following radix_tree_insert()
to succeed. To avoid unexpected effects for these users,
radix_tree_preload() only warns if passed gfp mask doesn't allow waiting
and we provide a new function radix_tree_maybe_preload() for those users
which get different gfp mask from different call sites and which are
prepared to handle radix_tree_insert() failure.

Currently the fscache code expect the netfs to call fscache_readpages_or_alloc
inside the aops readpages callback. It marks all the pages in the list
provided by readahead with PG_private_2. In the cases that the netfs fails to
read all the pages (which is legal) it ends up returning to the readahead and
triggering a BUG. This happens because the page list still contains marked
pages.
This patch implements a simple fscache_readpages_cancel function that the netfs
should call before returning from readpages. It will revoke the pages from the
underlying cache backend and unmark them.
The problem was originally worked out in the Ceph devel tree, but it also
occurs in CIFS. It appears that NFS, AFS and 9P are okay as read_cache_pages()
will clean up the unprocessed pages in the case of an error.
This can be used to address the following oops:

Extend the fscache netfs API so that the netfs can ask as to whether a cache
object is up to date with respect to its corresponding netfs object:
int fscache_check_consistency(struct fscache_cookie *cookie)
This will call back to the netfs to check whether the auxiliary data associated
with a cookie is correct. It returns 0 if it is and -ESTALE if it isn't; it
may also return -ENOMEM and -ERESTARTSYS.
The backends now have to implement a mandatory operation pointer:
int (*check_consistency)(struct fscache_object *object)
that corresponds to the above API call. FS-Cache takes care of pinning the
object and the cookie in memory and managing this call with respect to the
object state.

struct fscache_retrieval contains a count of the number of pages that still
need some processing (n_pages). This is decremented as the pages are
processed.
However, this needs to be atomic as fscache_retrieval_complete() (I think) just
occasionally may be called from cachefiles_read_backing_file() and
cachefiles_read_copier() simultaneously.
This happens when an fscache_read_or_alloc_pages() request containing a lot of
pages (say a couple of hundred) is being processed. The read on each backing
page is dispatched individually because we need to insert a monitor into the
waitqueue to catch when the read completes. However, under low-memory
conditions, we might be forced to wait in the allocator - and this gives the
I/O on the backing page a chance to complete first.
When the I/O completes, fscache_enqueue_retrieval() chucks the retrieval onto
the workqueue without waiting for the operation to finish the initial I/O
dispatch (we want to release any pages we can as soon as we can), thus both can
end up running simultaneously and potentially attempting to partially complete
the retrieval simultaneously (ENOMEM may occur, backing pages may already be in
the page cache).
This was demonstrated by parallelling the non-atomic counter with an atomic
counter and printing both of them when the assertion fails. At this point, the
atomic counter has reached zero, but the non-atomic counter has not.
To fix this, make the counter an atomic_t.
This results in the following bug appearing
FS-Cache: Assertion failed
3 == 5 is false
------------[ cut here ]------------
kernel BUG at fs/fscache/operation.c:421!

Simplify the way fscache cache objects retain their cookie. The way I
implemented the cookie storage handling made synchronisation a pain (ie. the
object state machine can't rely on the cookie actually still being there).
Instead of the the object being detached from the cookie and the cookie being
freed in __fscache_relinquish_cookie(), we defer both operations:
(*) The detachment of the object from the list in the cookie now takes place
in fscache_drop_object() and is thus governed by the object state machine
(fscache_detach_from_cookie() has been removed).
(*) The release of the cookie is now in fscache_object_destroy() - which is
called by the cache backend just before it frees the object.
This means that the fscache_cookie struct is now available to the cache all the
way through from ->alloc_object() to ->drop_object() and ->put_object() -
meaning that it's no longer necessary to take object->lock to guarantee access.
However, __fscache_relinquish_cookie() doesn't wait for the object to go all
the way through to destruction before letting the netfs proceed. That would
massively slow down the netfs. Since __fscache_relinquish_cookie() leaves the
cookie around, in must therefore break all attachments to the netfs - which
includes ->def, ->netfs_data and any outstanding page read/writes.
To handle this, struct fscache_cookie now has an n_active counter:
(1) This starts off initialised to 1.
(2) Any time the cache needs to get at the netfs data, it calls
fscache_use_cookie() to increment it - if it is not zero. If it was zero,
then access is not permitted.
(3) When the cache has finished with the data, it calls fscache_unuse_cookie()
to decrement it. This does a wake-up on it if it reaches 0.
(4) __fscache_relinquish_cookie() decrements n_active and then waits for it to
reach 0. The initialisation to 1 in step (1) ensures that we only get
wake ups when we're trying to get rid of the cookie.
This leaves __fscache_relinquish_cookie() a lot simpler.
***
This fixes a problem in the current code whereby if fscache_invalidate() is
followed sufficiently quickly by fscache_relinquish_cookie() then it is
possible for __fscache_relinquish_cookie() to have detached the cookie from the
object and cleared the pointer before a thread is dispatched to process the
invalidation state in the object state machine.
Since the pending write clearance was deferred to the invalidation state to
make it asynchronous, we need to either wait in relinquishment for the stores
tree to be cleared in the invalidation state or we need to handle the clearance
in relinquishment.
Further, if the relinquishment code does clear the tree, then the invalidation
state need to make the clearance contingent on still having the cookie to hand
(since that's where the tree is rooted) and we have to prevent the cookie from
disappearing for the duration.
This can lead to an oops like the following:

Fix object state machine to have separate work and wait states as that makes
it easier to envision.
There are now three kinds of state:
(1) Work state. This is an execution state. No event processing is performed
by a work state. The function attached to a work state returns a pointer
indicating the next state to which the OSM should transition. Returning
NO_TRANSIT repeats the current state, but goes back to the scheduler
first.
(2) Wait state. This is an event processing state. No execution is
performed by a wait state. Wait states are just tables of "if event X
occurs, clear it and transition to state Y". The dispatcher returns to
the scheduler if none of the events in which the wait state has an
interest are currently pending.
(3) Out-of-band state. This is a special work state. Transitions to normal
states can be overridden when an unexpected event occurs (eg. I/O error).
Instead the dispatcher disables and clears the OOB event and transits to
the specified work state. This then acts as an ordinary work state,
though object->state points to the overridden destination. Returning
NO_TRANSIT resumes the overridden transition.
In addition, the states have names in their definitions, so there's no need for
tables of state names. Further, the EV_REQUEUE event is no longer necessary as
that is automatic for work states.
Since the states are now separate structs rather than values in an enum, it's
not possible to use comparisons other than (non-)equality between them, so use
some object->flags to indicate what phase an object is in.
The EV_RELEASE, EV_RETIRE and EV_WITHDRAW events have been squished into one
(EV_KILL). An object flag now carries the information about retirement.
Similarly, the RELEASING, RECYCLING and WITHDRAWING states have been merged
into an KILL_OBJECT state and additional states have been added for handling
waiting dependent objects (JUMPSTART_DEPS and KILL_DEPENDENTS).
A state has also been added for synchronising with parent object initialisation
(WAIT_FOR_PARENT) and another for initiating look up (PARENT_READY).

Don't sleep in __fscache_maybe_release_page() if __GFP_FS is not set. This
goes some way towards mitigating fscache deadlocking against ext4 by way of
the allocator, eg:

fscache already tries to cancel pending stores, but it can't cancel a write
for which I/O is already in progress.
An alternative would be to accept writing garbage to the cache under extreme
circumstances and to kill the afflicted cache object if we have to do this.
However, we really need to know how strapped the allocator is before deciding
to do that.

The spinlock() within the condition in while() will cause a compile error
if it is not a function. This is not a problem on mainline but it does not
look pretty and there is no reason to do it that way.
That patch writes it a little differently and avoids the double condition.

Provide fscache_cancel_op() with a pointer to a function it should invoke under
lock if it cancels an operation.
Use this to clear the remaining page count upon cancellation of a pending
retrieval operation so that fscache_release_retrieval_op() doesn't get an
assertion failure (see below). This can happen when a signal occurs, say from
CTRL-C being pressed during data retrieval.

Mark as cancelled an operation that is in progress rather than pending at the
time it is cancelled, and call fscache_complete_op() to cancel an operation so
that blocked ops can be started.

In fscache_write_op(), if the object is determined to have become inactive or
to have lost its cookie, we don't move the operation state from in-progress,
and so an assertion in fscache_put_operation() fails with an assertion (see
below).
Instrumenting fscache_op_work_func() indicates that it called
fscache_write_op() before calling fscache_put_operation() - where the assertion
failed. The assertion at line 433 indicates that the operation state is
IN_PROGRESS rather than being COMPLETE or CANCELLED.
Instrumenting fscache_write_op() showed that it was being called on an object
that had had its cookie removed and that this was due to relinquishment of the
cookie by the netfs. At this point fscache no longer has access to the pages
of netfs data that were requested to be written, and so simply cancelling the
operation is the thing to do.

wait_on_bit() with TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE returns 1 rather than a negative error
code, so change what we check for. This means that the signal handling in
fscache_wait_for_retrieval_activation() should now work properly.
Without this, the following bug can be seen if CTRL-C is pressed during
fscache read operation:

nfs_migrate_page() calls nfs_fscache_release_page() which doesn't actually wait
- even if __GFP_WAIT is set. The reason that doesn't wait is that
fscache_maybe_release_page() might deadlock the allocator as the work threads
writing to the cache may all end up sleeping on memory allocation.
However, I wonder if that is actually a problem. There are a number of things
I can do to deal with this:
(1) Make nfs_migrate_page() wait.
(2) Make fscache_maybe_release_page() honour the __GFP_WAIT flag.
(3) Set a timeout around the wait.
(4) Make nfs_migrate_page() return an error if the page is still busy.
For the moment, I'll select (2) and (4).

CacheFiles is missing some calls to fscache_retrieval_complete() in the error

This can be seen by the following assertion tripping in fscache_put_operation()
whereby the operation being destroyed is still in the in-progress state and has
not been cancelled or completed:

Provide a proper invalidation method rather than relying on the netfs retiring
the cookie it has and getting a new one. The problem with this is that isn't
easy for the netfs to make sure that it has completed/cancelled all its
outstanding storage and retrieval operations on the cookie it is retiring.
Instead, have the cache provide an invalidation method that will cancel or wait
for all currently outstanding operations before invalidating the cache, and
will cause new operations to queue up behind that. Whilst invalidation is in
progress, some requests will be rejected until the cache can stack a barrier on
the operation queue to cause new operations to be deferred behind it.

Fix the state management of internal fscache operations and the accounting of
what operations are in what states.
This is done by:
(1) Give struct fscache_operation a enum variable that directly represents the
state it's currently in, rather than spreading this knowledge over a bunch
of flags, who's processing the operation at the moment and whether it is
queued or not.
This makes it easier to write assertions to check the state at various
points and to prevent invalid state transitions.
(2) Add an 'operation complete' state and supply a function to indicate the
completion of an operation (fscache_op_complete()) and make things call
it. The final call to fscache_put_operation() can then check that an op
in the appropriate state (complete or cancelled).
(3) Adjust the use of object->n_ops, ->n_in_progress, ->n_exclusive to better
govern the state of an object:
(a) The ->n_ops is now the number of extant operations on the object
and is now decremented by fscache_put_operation() only.
(b) The ->n_in_progress is simply the number of objects that have been
taken off of the object's pending queue for the purposes of being
run. This is decremented by fscache_op_complete() only.
(c) The ->n_exclusive is the number of exclusive ops that have been
submitted and queued or are in progress. It is decremented by
fscache_op_complete() and by fscache_cancel_op().
fscache_put_operation() and fscache_operation_gc() now no longer try to
clean up ->n_exclusive and ->n_in_progress. That was leading to double
decrements against fscache_cancel_op().
fscache_cancel_op() now no longer decrements ->n_ops. That was leading to
double decrements against fscache_put_operation().
fscache_submit_exclusive_op() now decides whether it has to queue an op
based on ->n_in_progress being > 0 rather than ->n_ops > 0 as the latter
will persist in being true even after all preceding operations have been
cancelled or completed. Furthermore, if an object is active and there are
runnable ops against it, there must be at least one op running.
(4) Add a remaining-pages counter (n_pages) to struct fscache_retrieval and
provide a function to record completion of the pages as they complete.
When n_pages reaches 0, the operation is deemed to be complete and
fscache_op_complete() is called.
Add calls to fscache_retrieval_complete() anywhere we've finished with a
page we've been given to read or allocate for. This includes places where
we just return pages to the netfs for reading from the server and where
accessing the cache fails and we discard the proposed netfs page.
The bugs in the unfixed state management manifest themselves as oopses like the
following where the operation completion gets out of sync with return of the
cookie by the netfs. This is possible because the cache unlocks and returns
all the netfs pages before recording its completion - which means that there's
nothing to stop the netfs discarding them and returning the cookie.

Downgrade the requirements passed to the allocator in the gfp flags parameter.

Under some circumstances CacheFiles defers the marking of pages with PG_fscache
so that it can take advantage of pagevecs to reduce the number of calls to
fscache_mark_pages_cached() and the netfs's hook to keep track of this.
There are, however, two problems with this:
(1) It can lead to the PG_fscache mark being applied _after_ the page is set
PG_uptodate and unlocked (by the call to fscache_end_io()).
(2) CacheFiles's ref on the page is dropped immediately following
fscache_end_io() - and so may not still be held when the mark is applied.
This can lead to the page being passed back to the allocator before the
mark is applied.
Fix this by, where appropriate, marking the page before calling
fscache_end_io() and releasing the page. This means that we can't take
advantage of pagevecs and have to make a separate call for each page to the
marking routines.
The symptoms of this are Bad Page state errors cropping up under memory
pressure, for example:
BUG: Bad page state in process tar pfn:002da

As can be seen, PG_private_2 (== PG_fscache) is set in the page flags.
Instrumenting fscache_mark_pages_cached() to verify whether page->mapping was
set appropriately showed that sometimes it wasn't. This led to the discovery
that sometimes the page has apparently been reclaimed by the time the marker
got to see it.

The compiler, at least for ix86 and m68k, validly warns that the
comparison:
next <= (loff_t)-1
is always true (and it's always true also for x86-64 and probably all
other arches - as long as pgoff_t isn't wider than loff_t). The
intention appears to be to avoid wrapping of "next", so rather than
eliminating the pointless comparison, fix the loop to indeed get exited
when "next" would otherwise wrap.
On m68k the following warning is observed:

Add an FS-Cache helper to bulk uncache pages on an inode. This will
only work for the circumstance where the pages in the cache correspond
1:1 with the pages attached to an inode's page cache.
This is required for CIFS and NFS: When disabling inode cookie, we were
returning the cookie and setting cifsi->fscache to NULL but failed to
invalidate any previously mapped pages. This resulted in "Bad page
state" errors and manifested in other kind of errors when running
fsstress. Fix it by uncaching mapped pages when we disable the inode
cookie.
This patch should fix the following oops and "Bad page state" errors
seen during fsstress testing.

I tested the uncaching by the following means:
(1) Create a big file on my NFS server (104857600 bytes).
(2) Read the file into the cache with md5sum on the NFS client. Look in
/proc/fs/fscache/stats:
Pages : mrk=25601 unc=0
(3) Open the file for read/write ("bash 5<>/warthog/bigfile"). Look in proc
again:
Pages : mrk=25601 unc=25601

Make fscache operation to use only workqueue instead of combination of
workqueue and slow-work. FSCACHE_OP_SLOW is dropped and
FSCACHE_OP_FAST is renamed to FSCACHE_OP_ASYNC and uses newly added
fscache_op_wq workqueue to execute op->processor().
fscache_operation_init_slow() is dropped and fscache_operation_init()
now takes @processor argument directly.
* Unbound workqueue is used.
* fscache_retrieval_work() is no longer necessary as OP_ASYNC now does
the equivalent thing.
* sysctl fscache.operation_max_active added to control concurrency.
The default value is nr_cpus clamped between 2 and
WQ_UNBOUND_MAX_ACTIVE.
* debugfs support is dropped for now. Tracing API based debug
facility is planned to be added.

fscache_write_op() makes unnecessary checks of the page variable to see if it
is NULL. It can't be NULL at those points as the kernel would already have
crashed a little higher up where we examined page->index.
Furthermore, unless radix_tree_gang_lookup_tag() can return 1 but no page, a
NULL pointer crash should not be encountered there as we can only get there if
r_t_g_l_t() returned 1.

implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Start processing an object's operations when that object moves into the DYING
state as the object cannot be destroyed until all its outstanding operations
have completed.
Furthermore, make sure that read and allocation operations handle being woken
up on a dead object. Such events are recorded in the Allocs.abt and
Retrvls.abt statistics as viewable through /proc/fs/fscache/stats.
The code for waiting for object activation for the read and allocation
operations is also extracted into its own function as it is much the same in
all cases, differing only in the stats incremented.

Handle netfs pages that the vmscan algorithm wants to evict from the pagecache
under OOM conditions, but that are waiting for write to the cache. Under these
conditions, vmscan calls the releasepage() function of the netfs, asking if a
page can be discarded.
The problem is typified by the following trace of a stuck process:

In the above backtrace, the following is happening:
(1) A page storage operation is being executed by a slow-work thread
(fscache_write_op()).
(2) FS-Cache farms the operation out to the cache to perform
(cachefiles_write_page()).
(3) CacheFiles is then calling Ext3 to perform the actual write, using Ext3's
standard write (do_sync_write()) under KERNEL_DS directly from the netfs
page.
(4) However, for Ext3 to perform the write, it must allocate some memory, in
particular, it must allocate at least one page cache page into which it
can copy the data from the netfs page.
(5) Under OOM conditions, the memory allocator can't immediately come up with
a page, so it uses vmscan to find something to discard
(try_to_free_pages()).
(6) vmscan finds a clean netfs page it might be able to discard (possibly the
one it's trying to write out).
(7) The netfs is called to throw the page away (nfs_release_page()) - but it's
called with __GFP_WAIT, so the netfs decides to wait for the store to
complete (__fscache_wait_on_page_write()).
(8) This blocks a slow-work processing thread - possibly against itself.
The system ends up stuck because it can't write out any netfs pages to the
cache without allocating more memory.
To avoid this, we make FS-Cache cancel some writes that aren't in the middle of
actually being performed. This means that some data won't make it into the
cache this time. To support this, a new FS-Cache function is added
fscache_maybe_release_page() that replaces what the netfs releasepage()
functions used to do with respect to the cache.
The decisions fscache_maybe_release_page() makes are counted and displayed
through /proc/fs/fscache/stats on a line labelled "VmScan". There are four
counters provided: "nos=N" - pages that weren't pending storage; "gon=N" -
pages that were pending storage when we first looked, but weren't by the time
we got the object lock; "bsy=N" - pages that we ignored as they were actively
being written when we looked; and "can=N" - pages that we cancelled the storage
of.
What I'd really like to do is alter the behaviour of the cancellation
heuristics, depending on how necessary it is to expel pages. If there are
plenty of other pages that aren't waiting to be written to the cache that
could be ejected first, then it would be nice to hold up on immediate
cancellation of cache writes - but I don't see a way of doing that.
