This reverts commit b43d17f319.
Dave Jones reports that it causes lockups on his laptop, and his debug
output showed a lot of processes hung waiting for page_writeback (or
more commonly - processes hung waiting for a lock that was held during
that writeback wait).
The page_writeback hint made Ted suggest that Dave look at this commit,
and Dave verified that reverting it makes his problems go away.
Ted says:
"That commit fixes a race which is seen when you write into fallocated
(and hence uninitialized) disk blocks under *very* heavy memory
pressure. Furthermore, although theoretically it could trigger under
normal direct I/O writes, it only seems to trigger if you are issuing
a huge number of AIO writes, such that a just-written page can get
evicted from memory, and then read back into memory, before the
workqueue has a chance to update the extent tree.
This race has been around for a little over a year, and no one noticed
until two months ago; it only happens under fairly exotic conditions,
and in fact even after trying very hard to create a simple repro under
lab conditions, we could only reproduce the problem and confirm the
fix on production servers running MySQL on very fast PCIe-attached
flash devices.
Given that Dave was able to hit this problem pretty quickly, if we
confirm that this commit is at fault, the only reasonable thing to do
is to revert it IMO."

Pull nfsd changes from Bruce Fields:
Highlights:
- Benny Halevy and Tigran Mkrtchyan implemented some more 4.1 features,
moving us closer to a complete 4.1 implementation.
- Bernd Schubert fixed a long-standing problem with readdir cookies on
ext2/3/4.
- Jeff Layton performed a long-overdue overhaul of the server reboot
recovery code which will allow us to deprecate the current code (a
rather unusual user of the vfs), and give us some needed flexibility
for further improvements.
- Like the client, we now support numeric uid's and gid's in the
auth_sys case, allowing easier upgrades from NFSv2/v3 to v4.x.
Plus miscellaneous bugfixes and cleanup.
Thanks to everyone!
There are also some delegation fixes waiting on vfs review that I
suppose will have to wait for 3.5. With that done I think we'll finally
turn off the "EXPERIMENTAL" dependency for v4 (though that's mostly
symbolic as it's been on by default in distro's for a while).
And the list of 4.1 todo's should be achievable for 3.5 as well:
http://wiki.linux-nfs.org/wiki/index.php/Server_4.0_and_4.1_issues
though we may still want a bit more experience with it before turning it
on by default.

Right now we don't seem to need any actual contents for the

xchg() and cmpxchg() to this new header file for a future patch.
Also process.c needs <asm/switch_to.h> (for definition of pfm_syst_info).

Pull the intel i915 hibernation memory corruption fix from Dave Airlie:
"I tracked down the misc memory corruption after i915 hibernate to the
blinking fbcon cursor, and realised the i915 driver wasn't doing the
fbdev suspend/resume calls at all. nouveau and radeon have done these
calls for a long time.
This has been fairly well tested and is definitely the main culprit in
hibernate not working."
Yay.
* 'drm-fixes' of git://people.freedesktop.org/~airlied/linux:
drm/i915: suspend fbdev device around suspend/hibernate
Otherwise, we get a warning or error similar to this when building with
CONFIG_NFSD_V4 disabled:
ERROR: "nfsd4_cld_block" [fs/nfsd/nfsd.ko] undefined!
Fix this by wrapping the calls to rpc_pipefs_notifier_register and
..._unregister in another function and providing no-op replacements
when CONFIG_NFSD_V4 is disabled.

Looking at hibernate overwriting I though it looked like a cursor,
so I tracked down this missing piece to stop the cursor blink
timer. I've no idea if this is sufficient to fix the hibernate
problems people are seeing, but please test it.
Both radeon and nouveau have done this for a long time.
I've run this personally all night hib/resume cycles with no fails.
