2010-10-289p: Add a Direct IO support for non-cached operations.jvrao
The presence of v9fs_direct_IO() in the address space ops vector allowes open() O_DIRECT flags which would have failed otherwise. In the non-cached mode, we shunt off direct read and write requests before the VFS gets them, so this method should never be called. Direct IO is not 'yet' supported in the cached mode. Hence when this routine is called through generic_file_aio_read(), the read/write fails with an error.

2010-10-27ext4: fix kernel oops if the journal superblock has a non-zero j_errnoTheodore Ts'o
Commit 84061e0 fixed an accounting bug only to introduce the possibility of a kernel OOPS if the journal has a non-zero j_errno field indicating that the file system had detected a fs inconsistency. After the journal replay, if the journal superblock indicates that the file system has an error, this indication is transfered to the file system and then ext4_commit_super() is called to write this to the disk. But since the percpu counters are now initialized after the journal replay, the call to ext4_commit_super() will cause a kernel oops since it needs to use the percpu counters the ext4 superblock structure. The fix is to skip setting the ext4 free block and free inode fields if the percpu counter has not been set. Thanks to Ken Sumrall for reporting and analyzing the root causes of this bug.

2010-10-27ext4: update writeback_index based on last page scannedEric Sandeen
As pointed out in a prior patch, updating the mapping's writeback_index based on pages written isn't quite right; what the writeback index is really supposed to reflect is the next page which should be scanned for writeback during periodic flush. As in write_cache_pages(), write_cache_pages_da() does this scanning for us as we assemble the mpd for later writeout. If we keep track of the next page after the current scan, we can easily update writeback_index without worrying about pages written vs. pages skipped, etc. Without this, an fsync will reset writeback_index to 0 (its starting index) + however many pages it wrote, which can mess up the progress of periodic flush.

2010-10-27ext4: implement writeback livelock avoidance using page taggingEric Sandeen
This is analogous to Jan Kara's commit, f446daaea9d4a420d16c606f755f3689dcb2d0ce mm: implement writeback livelock avoidance using page tagging but since we forked write_cache_pages, we need to reimplement it there (and in ext4_da_writepages, since range_cyclic handling was moved to there) If you start a large buffered IO to a file, and then set fsync after it, you'll find that fsync does not complete until the other IO stops. If you continue re-dirtying the file (say, putting dd with conv=notrunc in a loop), when fsync finally completes (after all IO is done), it reports via tracing that it has written many more pages than the file contains; in other words it has synced and re-synced pages in the file multiple times. This then leads to problems with our writeback_index update, since it advances it by pages written, and essentially sets writeback_index off the end of the file... With the following patch, we only sync as much as was dirty at the time of the sync. Signed-off-by: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

2010-10-27ext4: Add batched discard support for ext4Lukas Czerner
Walk through allocation groups and trim all free extents. It can be invoked through FITRIM ioctl on the file system. The main idea is to provide a way to trim the whole file system if needed, since some SSD's may suffer from performance loss after the whole device was filled (it does not mean that fs is full!). It search for free extents in allocation groups specified by Byte range start -> start+len. When the free extent is within this range, blocks are marked as used and then trimmed. Afterwards these blocks are marked as free in per-group bitmap. Since fstrim is a long operation it is good to have an ability to interrupt it by a signal. This was added by Dmitry Monakhov.

2010-10-27fs: Add FITRIM ioctlLukas Czerner
Adds an filesystem independent ioctl to allow implementation of file system batched discard support. I takes fstrim_range structure as an argument. fstrim_range is definec in the include/fs.h and its definition is as follows. struct fstrim_range { start; len; minlen; } start - first Byte to trim len - number of Bytes to trim from start minlen - minimum extent length to trim, free extents shorter than this number of Bytes will be ignored. This will be rounded up to fs block size. It is also possible to specify NULL as an argument. In this case the arguments will set itself as follows: start = 0; len = ULLONG_MAX; minlen = 0; So it will trim the whole file system at one run. After the FITRIM is done, the number of actually discarded Bytes is stored in fstrim_range.len to give the user better insight on how much storage space has been really released for wear-leveling.

2010-10-27ext4: Use return value from sb_issue_discard()Lukas Czerner
Use return value from sb_issue_discard() as return value in ext4_issue_discard(). Since sb_issue_discard() may result in more serious errors than just -EOPNOTSUPP it is worth to inform user of this function about them to handle error cases properly.

2010-10-27ext4: Check return value of sb_getblk() and friendsNamhyung Kim
Fail block allocation if sb_getblk() returns NULL. In that case, sb_find_get_block() also likely to fail so that it should skip calling ext4_forget(). Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
2010-10-27ext4: use bio layer instead of buffer layer in mpage_da_submit_ioTheodore Ts'o
Call the block I/O layer directly instad of going through the buffer layer. This should give us much better performance and scalability, as well as lowering our CPU utilization when doing buffered writeback. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
