In the transmit path of firewire-net (IPv4 over 1394), the following
race condition may occur:
- The networking soft IRQ inserts a datagram into the 1394 async
request transmit DMA.
- The 1394 async transmit completion tasklet runs to finish cleaning
up (unlink datagram from list of pending ones, release skb and
outbound 1394 transaction object) --- before the networking soft IRQ
had a chance to proceed and add the datagram to the list of pending
datagrams.
This caused a panic in the 1394 async transmit completion tasklet when
it dereferenced unitialized list heads:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15077
The fix is to add checks in the tx soft IRQ and in the tasklet to
determine which of these two is the last referrer to the transaction
object. Then handle the cleanup of the object by the last referrer
rather than assuming that the tasklet is always the last one.
There is another similar race: Between said tasklet and fwnet_close,
i.e. at ifdown. However, that race is much less likely to occur in
practice and shall be fixed in a separate update.

After memory pressure has forced it to dip into the reserves, 2.6.32's
5f8dcc2121 "page-allocator: split per-cpu
list into one-list-per-migrate-type" has been returning MIGRATE_RESERVE
pages to the MIGRATE_MOVABLE free_list: in some sense depleting reserves.
Fix that in the most straightforward way (which, considering the overheads
of alternative approaches, is Mel's preference): the right migratetype is
already in page_private(page), but free_pcppages_bulk() wasn't using it.
How did this bug show up? As a 20% slowdown in my tmpfs loop kbuild
swapping tests, on PowerMac G5 with SLUB allocator. Bisecting to that
commit was easy, but explaining the magnitude of the slowdown not easy.
The same effect appears, but much less markedly, with SLAB, and even
less markedly on other machines (the PowerMac divides into fewer zones
than x86, I think that may be a factor). We guess that lumpy reclaim
of short-lived high-order pages is implicated in some way, and probably
this bug has been tickling a poor decision somewhere in page reclaim.
But instrumentation hasn't told me much, I've run out of time and
imagination to determine exactly what's going on, and shouldn't hold up
the fix any longer: it's valid, and might even fix other misbehaviours.

Now that the previous commit made it possible to do the personality
setting at the point of no return, we do just that for ELF binaries.
And suddenly all the reasons for that insane TIF_ABI_PENDING bit go
away, and we can just make SET_PERSONALITY() just do the obvious thing
for a 32-bit compat process.
Everything becomes much more straightforward this way.

'flush_old_exec()' is the point of no return when doing an execve(), and
it is pretty badly misnamed. It doesn't just flush the old executable
environment, it also starts up the new one.
Which is very inconvenient for things like setting up the new
personality, because we want the new personality to affect the starting
of the new environment, but at the same time we do _not_ want the new
personality to take effect if flushing the old one fails.
As a result, the x86-64 '32-bit' personality is actually done using this
insane "I'm going to change the ABI, but I haven't done it yet" bit
(TIF_ABI_PENDING), with SET_PERSONALITY() not actually setting the
personality, but just the "pending" bit, so that "flush_thread()" can do
the actual personality magic.
This patch in no way changes any of that insanity, but it does split the
'flush_old_exec()' function up into a preparatory part that can fail
(still called flush_old_exec()), and a new part that will actually set
up the new exec environment (setup_new_exec()). All callers are changed
to trivially comply with the new world order.

If you have a disk failure in RAID1 and then add a new disk to the
array, and then try to remove the missing volume, it will fail. The
reason is the sanity check only looks at the total number of rw devices,
which is just 2 because we have 2 good disks and 1 bad one. Instead
check the total number of devices in the array to make sure we can
actually remove the device. Tested this with a failed disk setup and
with this test we can now run
btrfs-vol -r missing /mount/point
and it works fine.

Hit this problem while testing RAID1 failure stuff. open_bdev_exclusive
returns ERR_PTR(), not NULL. So change the return value properly. This
is important if you accidently specify a device that doesn't exist when
trying to add a new device to an array, you will panic the box
dereferencing bdev.

If a RAID setup has chunks that span multiple disks, and one of those
disks has failed, btrfs_chunk_readonly will return 1 since one of the
disks in that chunk's stripes is dead and therefore not writeable. So
instead if we are in degraded mode, return 0 so we can go ahead and
allocate stuff. Without this patch all of the block groups in a RAID1
setup will end up read-only, which will mean we can't add new disks to
the array since we won't be able to make allocations.

6c090a11e1
Since it introduces this problem where we can run orphan cleanup on a
volume that can have orphan entries re-added. Instead of my original
fix, Yan Zheng pointed out that we can just revert my original fix and
then run the orphan cleanup in open_ctree after we look up the fs_root.
I have tested this with all the tests that gave me problems and this
patch fixes both problems. Thanks,

The default btrfs mount -o compress mode will quickly back off
compressing a file if it notices that compression does not reduce the
size of the data being written. This can save considerable CPU because
all future writes to the file go through uncompressed.
But some files are both very large and have mixed data stored in
them. In that case, we want to add the ability to always try
compressing data before writing it.
This commit adds mount -o compress-force. A later commit will add
a new inode flag that does the same thing.
