* 'for-linus' of git://oss.sgi.com/xfs/xfs:
xfs: revert to using a kthread for AIL pushing
xfs: force the log if we encounter pinned buffers in .iop_pushbuf
xfs: do not update xa_last_pushed_lsn for locked items
Currently we have a few issues with the way the workqueue code is used to
implement AIL pushing:
- it accidentally uses the same workqueue as the syncer action, and thus
can be prevented from running if there are enough sync actions active
in the system.
- it doesn't use the HIGHPRI flag to queue at the head of the queue of
work items
At this point I'm not confident enough in getting all the workqueue flags and
tweaks right to provide a perfectly reliable execution context for AIL
pushing, which is the most important piece in XFS to make forward progress
when the log fills.
Revert back to use a kthread per filesystem which fixes all the above issues
at the cost of having a task struct and stack around for each mounted
filesystem. In addition this also gives us much better ways to diagnose
any issues involving hung AIL pushing and removes a small amount of code.

We need to check for pinned buffers even in .iop_pushbuf given that inode
items flush into the same buffers that may be pinned directly due operations
on the unlinked inode list operating directly on buffers. To do this add a
return value to .iop_pushbuf that tells the AIL push about this and use
the existing log force mechanisms to unpin it.

If an item was locked we should not update xa_last_pushed_lsn and thus skip
it when restarting the AIL scan as we need to be able to lock and write it
out as soon as possible. Otherwise heavy lock contention might starve AIL
pushing too easily, especially given the larger backoff once we moved
xa_last_pushed_lsn all the way to the target lsn.

The btrfs file defrag code will loop through the extents and
force COW on them. But there is a concurrent truncate in the middle of
the defrag, it might end up defragging the same range over and over
again.
The problem is that writepage won't go through and do anything on pages
past i_size, so the cow won't happen, so the file will appear to still
be fragmented. defrag will end up hitting the same extents again and
again.
In the worst case, the truncate can actually live lock with the defrag
because the defrag keeps creating new ordered extents which the truncate
code keeps waiting on.
The fix here is to make defrag check for i_size inside the main loop,
instead of just once before the looping starts.

Follow those steps:
# mount -o autodefrag /dev/sda7 /mnt
# dd if=/dev/urandom of=/mnt/tmp bs=200K count=1
# sync
# dd if=/dev/urandom of=/mnt/tmp bs=8K count=1 conv=notrunc
and then it'll go into a loop: writeback -> defrag -> writeback ...
It's because writeback writes [8K, 200K] and then writes [0, 8K].
I tried to make writeback know if the pages are dirtied by defrag,
but the patch was a bit intrusive. Here I simply set writeback_index
when we defrag a file.

A user reported a problem where ceph was getting into 100% cpu usage while doing
some writing. It turns out it's because we were doing a short write on a not
uptodate page, which means we'd fall back at one page at a time and fault the
page in. The problem is our position is on the page boundary, so our fault in
logic wasn't actually reading the page, so we'd just spin forever or until the
page got read in by somebody else. This will force a readpage if we end up
doing a short copy. Alexandre could reproduce this easily with ceph and reports
it fixes his problem. I also wrote a reproducer that no longer hangs my box
with this patch. Thanks,

That flag no longer makes sense, since we don't look up automount points
as eagerly any more. Additionally, it turns out that the NO_AUTOMOUNT
handling was buggy to begin with: it would avoid automounting even for
cases where we really *needed* to do the automount handling, and could
return ENOENT for autofs entries that hadn't been instantiated yet.
With our new non-eager automount semantics, one discussion has been
about adding a AT_AUTOMOUNT flag to vfs_fstatat (and thus the
newfstatat() and fstatat64() system calls), but it's probably not worth
it: you can always force at least directory automounting by simply
adding the final '/' to the filename, which works for *all* of the stat
family system calls, old and new.
So AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT (and thus LOOKUP_NO_AUTOMOUNT) really were just a
result of our bad default behavior.

The concensus seems to be that system calls such as stat() etc should
not trigger an automount. Neither should the l* versions.
This patch therefore adds a LOOKUP_AUTOMOUNT flag to tag those lookups
that _should_ trigger an automount on the last path element.

[ Edited to leave out the cases that are already covered by LOOKUP_OPEN,
LOOKUP_DIRECTORY and LOOKUP_CREATE - all of which also fundamentally
force automounting for their own reasons - Linus ]
Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
Since we've now turned around and made LOOKUP_FOLLOW *not* force an
automount, we want to add the ability to force an automount event on
lookup even if we don't happen to have one of the other flags that force
it implicitly (LOOKUP_OPEN, LOOKUP_DIRECTORY, LOOKUP_PARENT..)
Most cases will never want to use this, since you'd normally want to
delay automounting as long as possible, which usually implies
LOOKUP_OPEN (when we open a file or directory, we really cannot avoid
the automount any more).
But Trond argued sufficiently forcefully that at a minimum bind mounting
a file and quotactl will want to force the automount lookup. Some other
cases (like nfs_follow_remote_path()) could use it too, although
LOOKUP_DIRECTORY would work there as well.
This commit just adds the flag and logic, no users yet, though. It also
doesn't actually touch the LOOKUP_NO_AUTOMOUNT flag that is related, and
was made irrelevant by the same change that made us not follow on
LOOKUP_FOLLOW.

This is modeled after the smaps code.
It detects transparent hugepages and then does a single gather_stats()
for the page as a whole. This has two benifits:
1. It is more efficient since it does many pages in a single shot.
2. It does not have to break down the huge page.

gather_pte_stats() does a number of checks on a target page
to see whether it should even be considered for statistics.
This breaks that code out in to a separate function so that
we can use it in the transparent hugepage case in the next

We need to teach the numa_maps code about transparent huge pages. The
first step is to teach gather_stats() that the pte it is dealing with
might represent more than one page.
Note that will we use this in a moment for transparent huge pages since
they have use a single pmd_t which _acts_ as a "surrogate" for a bunch
of smaller pte_t's.
I'm a _bit_ unhappy that this interface counts in hugetlbfs page sizes
for hugetlbfs pages and PAGE_SIZE for normal pages. That means that to
figure out how many _bytes_ "dirty=1" means, you must first know the
hugetlbfs page size. That's easier said than done especially if you
don't have visibility in to the mount.
But, that's probably a discussion for another day especially since it
would change behavior to fix it. But, just in case anyone wonders why
this patch only passes a '1' in the hugetlb case...

For sec=ntlmsspi, build_av_pair is not used, a blob is plucked from
type 2 response sent by the server to use in authentication.

Samba (3.6) and Windows - XP, 2003 Server and 7.

The name_len variable in CIFSFindNext is a signed int that gets set to
the resume_name_len in the cifs_search_info. The resume_name_len however
is unsigned and for some infolevels is populated directly from a 32 bit
value sent by the server.
If the server sends a very large value for this, then that value could
look negative when converted to a signed int. That would make that
value pass the PATH_MAX check later in CIFSFindNext. The name_len would
then be used as a length value for a memcpy. It would then be treated
as unsigned again, and the memcpy scribbles over a ton of memory.
Fix this by making the name_len an unsigned value in CIFSFindNext.
