On chown, reiserfs will call reiserfs_setattr() to change the owner
of the given inode, but it may also recursively call
reiserfs_setattr() to propagate the owner change to the private xattr
files for this inode.
Hence, the reiserfs lock may be acquired twice which is not wanted
as reiserfs_setattr() calls journal_begin() that is going to try to
relax the lock in order to safely acquire the journal mutex.
Using reiserfs_write_lock_once() from reiserfs_setattr() solves
the problem.
This fixes the following warning, that precedes a lockdep report.

When we were using the bkl, we didn't care about dependencies against
other locks, but the mutex conversion created new ones, which is why
we have reiserfs_mutex_lock_safe(), which unlocks the reiserfs lock
before acquiring another mutex.
But this trick actually fails if we have acquired the reiserfs lock
recursively, as we try to unlock it to acquire the new mutex without
inverted dependency, but we eventually only decrease its depth.
This happens in the case of a nested inode creation/deletion.
Say we have no space left on the device, we create an inode
and tak the lock but fail to create its entry, then we release the
inode using iput(), which calls reiserfs_delete_inode() that takes
the reiserfs lock recursively. The path eventually ends up in
journal_begin() where we try to take the journal safely but we
fail because of the reiserfs lock recursion:

reiserfs_commit_write() is always called with the write lock held.
Thus the current calls to reiserfs_write_lock() in this function are
acquiring the lock recursively.
We can safely drop them.
This also solves further assumptions for this lock to be really
released while calling reiserfs_write_unlock().

reiserfs_get_block() is one of these sites where the write lock might
be acquired recursively.
It's a particular problem because this function is called very often.
It's a hot spot which needs to reschedule() periodically while converting
direct items to indirect ones because it can take some time.
Then if we are applying the write lock release/reacquire pattern on
schedule() here, it may not produce the desired effect since we may have
locked in more than one depth.
The solution is to use reiserfs_write_lock_once() which won't try
to reacquire the lock recursively. Then the lock will be *really*
released before schedule().
Also, we only release the lock if TIF_NEED_RESCHED is set to not
create wasteful numerous contentions.

Impact: fix a deadlock
reiserfs_truncate_file() can be called from multiple context where
the write lock can be already hold or not.
This function also acquire (possibly recursively) the write
lock. Subsequent releases before sleeping will not actually release
the lock because we may be in more than one lock depth degree.
A typical case is:
reiserfs_file_release {
acquire_the_lock()
reiserfs_truncate_file()
reacquire_the_lock()
journal_begin() {
do_journal_begin_r() {
reiserfs_wait_on_write_block() {
/*
* Not released because still one
* depth owned
*/
release_lock()
wait_for_event()
At this stage the event never happen because the one which provides
it needs the write lock.
We use reiserfs_write_lock_once() here to ensure that we don't acquire the
write lock recursively.

This patch is an attempt to remove the Bkl based locking scheme from
reiserfs and is intended.
It is a bit inspired from an old attempt by Peter Zijlstra:
http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0704.2/2174.html
The bkl is heavily used in this filesystem to prevent from
concurrent write accesses on the filesystem.
Reiserfs makes a deep use of the specific properties of the Bkl:
- It can be acqquired recursively by a same task
- It is released on the schedule() calls and reacquired when schedule() returns
The two properties above are a roadmap for the reiserfs write locking so it's
very hard to simply replace it with a common mutex.
- We need a recursive-able locking unless we want to restructure several blocks
of the code.
- We need to identify the sites where the bkl was implictly relaxed
(schedule, wait, sync, etc...) so that we can in turn release and
reacquire our new lock explicitly.
Such implicit releases of the lock are often required to let other
resources producer/consumer do their job or we can suffer unexpected
starvations or deadlocks.
So the new lock that replaces the bkl here is a per superblock mutex with a
specific property: it can be acquired recursively by a same task, like the
bkl.
For such purpose, we integrate a lock owner and a lock depth field on the
superblock information structure.
The first axis on this patch is to turn reiserfs_write_(un)lock() function
into a wrapper to manage this mutex. Also some explicit calls to
lock_kernel() have been converted to reiserfs_write_lock() helpers.
The second axis is to find the important blocking sites (schedule...(),
wait_on_buffer(), sync_dirty_buffer(), etc...) and then apply an explicit
release of the write lock on these locations before blocking. Then we can
safely wait for those who can give us resources or those who need some.
Typically this is a fight between the current writer, the reiserfs workqueue
(aka the async commiter) and the pdflush threads.
The third axis is a consequence of the second. The write lock is usually
on top of a lock dependency chain which can include the journal lock, the
flush lock or the commit lock. So it's dangerous to release and trying to
reacquire the write lock while we still hold other locks.
This is fine with the bkl:
T1 T2
lock_kernel()
mutex_lock(A)
unlock_kernel()
// do something
lock_kernel()
mutex_lock(A) -> already locked by T1
schedule() (and then unlock_kernel())
lock_kernel()
mutex_unlock(A)
....
This is not fine with a mutex:
T1 T2
mutex_lock(write)
mutex_lock(A)
mutex_unlock(write)
// do something
mutex_lock(write)
mutex_lock(A) -> already locked by T1
schedule()
mutex_lock(write) -> already locked by T2
deadlock
The solution in this patch is to provide a helper which releases the write
lock and sleep a bit if we can't lock a mutex that depend on it. It's another
simulation of the bkl behaviour.
The last axis is to locate the fs callbacks that are called with the bkl held,
according to Documentation/filesystem/Locking.
Those are:
- reiserfs_remount
- reiserfs_fill_super
- reiserfs_put_super
Reiserfs didn't need to explicitly lock because of the context of these callbacks.
But now we must take care of that with the new locking.
After this patch, reiserfs suffers from a slight performance regression (for now).
On UP, a high volume write with dd reports an average of 27 MB/s instead
of 30 MB/s without the patch applied.

Deadlocks are possible in the xattr code between the journal lock and the
xattr sems.
This patch implements journalling for xattr operations. The benefit is
twofold:
* It gets rid of the deadlock possibility by always ensuring that xattr
write operations are initiated inside a transaction.
* It corrects the problem where xattr backing files aren't considered any
differently than normal files, despite the fact they are metadata.
I discussed the added journal load with Chris Mason, and we decided that
since xattrs (versus other journal activity) is fairly rare, the introduction
of larger transactions to support journaled xattrs wouldn't be too big a deal.

With the write_begin/write_end aops, page_symlink was broken because it
could no longer pass a GFP_NOFS type mask into the point where the
allocations happened. They are done in write_begin, which would always
assume that the filesystem can be entered from reclaim. This bug could
cause filesystem deadlocks.
The funny thing with having a gfp_t mask there is that it doesn't really
allow the caller to arbitrarily tinker with the context in which it can be
called. It couldn't ever be GFP_ATOMIC, for example, because it needs to
take the page lock. The only thing any callers care about is __GFP_FS
anyway, so turn that into a single flag.
Add a new flag for write_begin, AOP_FLAG_NOFS. Filesystems can now act on
this flag in their write_begin function. Change __grab_cache_page to
accept a nofs argument as well, to honour that flag (while we're there,
change the name to grab_cache_page_write_begin which is more instructive
and does away with random leading underscores).
This is really a more flexible way to go in the end anyway -- if a
filesystem happens to want any extra allocations aside from the pagecache
ones in ints write_begin function, it may now use GFP_KERNEL (rather than
GFP_NOFS) for common case allocations (eg. ocfs2_alloc_write_ctxt, for a
random example).
