Lockdep gripes if file->f_lock is taken in a no-IRQ situation, since that
is not always the case. We don't really want to disable IRQs for every
acquisition of f_lock; instead, just move it outside of fasync_lock.

Most fasync implementations do something like:
return fasync_helper(...);
But fasync_helper() will return a positive value at times - a feature used
in at least one place. Thus, a number of other drivers do:
err = fasync_helper(...);
if (err < 0)
return err;
return 0;
In the interests of consistency and more concise code, it makes sense to
map positive return values onto zero where ->fasync() is called.

Removing the BKL from FASYNC handling ran into the challenge of keeping the
setting of the FASYNC bit in filp->f_flags atomic with regard to calls to
the underlying fasync() function. Andi Kleen suggested moving the handling
of that bit into fasync(); this patch does exactly that. As a result, we
have a couple of internal API changes: fasync() must now manage the FASYNC
bit, and it will be called without the BKL held.
As it happens, every fasync() implementation in the kernel with one
exception calls fasync_helper(). So, if we make fasync_helper() set the
FASYNC bit, we can avoid making any changes to the other fasync()
functions - as long as those functions, themselves, have proper locking.
Most fasync() implementations do nothing but call fasync_helper() - which
has its own lock - so they are easily verified as correct. The BKL had
already been pushed down into the rest.
The networking code has its own version of fasync_helper(), so that code
has been augmented with explicit FASYNC bit handling.

Traditionally, changes to struct file->f_flags have been done under BKL
protection, or with no protection at all. This patch causes all f_flags
changes after file open/creation time to be done under protection of
f_lock. This allows the removal of some BKL usage and fixes a number of
longstanding (if microscopic) races.

This lock moves out of the CONFIG_EPOLL ifdef and becomes f_lock. For now,
epoll remains the only user, but a future patch will use it to protect
f_flags as well.

There was a report of a data corruption
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/11/14/121. There is a script included to
reproduce the problem.
During testing, I encountered a number of strange things with ext3, so I
tried ext2 to attempt to reduce complexity of the problem. I found that
fsstress would quickly hang in wait_on_inode, waiting for I_LOCK to be
cleared, even though instrumentation showed that unlock_new_inode had
already been called for that inode. This points to memory scribble, or
synchronisation problme.
i_state of I_NEW inodes is not protected by inode_lock because other
processes are not supposed to touch them until I_LOCK (and I_NEW) is
cleared. Adding WARN_ON(inode->i_state & I_NEW) to sites where we modify
i_state revealed that generic_sync_sb_inodes is picking up new inodes from
the inode lists and passing them to __writeback_single_inode without
waiting for I_NEW. Subsequently modifying i_state causes corruption. In
my case it would look like this:
CPU0 CPU1
unlock_new_inode() __sync_single_inode()
reg <- inode->i_state
reg -> reg & ~(I_LOCK|I_NEW) reg <- inode->i_state
reg -> inode->i_state reg -> reg | I_SYNC
reg -> inode->i_state
Non-atomic RMW on CPU1 overwrites CPU0 store and sets I_LOCK|I_NEW again.
Fix for this is rather than wait for I_NEW inodes, just skip over them:
inodes concurrently being created are not subject to data integrity
operations, and should not significantly contribute to dirty memory
either.
After this change, I'm unable to reproduce any of the added warnings or
hangs after ~1hour of running. Previously, the new warnings would start
immediately and hang would happen in under 5 minutes.
I'm also testing on ext3 now, and so far no problems there either. I
don't know whether this fixes the problem reported above, but it fixes a
real problem for me.

If the second fasync_helper() fails, pipe_rdwr_fasync() returns the error
but leaves the file on ->fasync_readers.
This was always wrong, but since 233e70f422
"saner FASYNC handling on file close" we have the new problem. Because in
this case setfl() doesn't set FASYNC bit, __fput() will not do
->fasync(0), and we leak fasync_struct with ->fa_file pointing to the
freed file.

The corrupted filesystem patch added a check against zlib trying to
output too much data in the presence of data corruption. This check
triggered if zlib_inflate asked to be called again (Z_OK) with
avail_out == 0 and no more output buffers available. This check proves
to be rather dumb, as it incorrectly catches the case where zlib has
generated all the output, but there are still input bytes to be processed.
This patch does a number of things. It removes the original check and
replaces it with code to not move to the next output buffer if there
are no more output buffers available, relying on zlib to error if it
wants an extra output buffer in the case of data corruption. It
also replaces the Z_NO_FLUSH flag with the more correct Z_SYNC_FLUSH
flag, and makes the error messages more understandable to
non-technical users.

btrfs_tree_locked was being used to make sure a given extent_buffer was
properly locked in a few places. But, it wasn't correct for UP compiled
kernels.
This switches it to using assert_spin_locked instead, and renames it to
btrfs_assert_tree_locked to better reflect how it was really being used.

I was seeing fsck errors on inode bitmaps after a 4 thread
dbench run on a 4 cpu machine:
Inode bitmap differences: -50736 -(50752--50753) etc...
I believe that this is because ext4_free_inode() uses atomic
bitops, and although ext4_new_inode() *used* to also use atomic
bitops for synchronization, commit
393418676a changed this to use
the sb_bgl_lock, so that we could also synchronize against
read_inode_bitmap and initialization of uninit inode tables.
However, that change left ext4_free_inode using atomic bitops,
which I think leaves no synchronization between setting &
unsetting bits in the inode table.
The below patch fixes it for me, although I wonder if we're
getting at all heavy-handed with this spinlock...
