Now that the retrieval operation may be disposed of by fscache_put_operation()
before we actually set the context, the retrieval-specific cleanup operation
can produce a NULL-pointer dereference when it tries to unconditionally clean
up the netfs context.
Given that it is expected that we'll get at least as far as the place where we
currently set the context pointer and it is unlikely we'll go through the
error handling paths prior to that point, retain the context right from the
point that the retrieval op is allocated.
Concomitant to this, we need to retain the cookie pointer in the retrieval op
also so that we can call the netfs to release its context in the release
method.
In addition, we might now get into fscache_release_retrieval_op() with the op
only initialised. To this end, set the operation to DEAD only after the
release method has been called and skip the n_pages test upon cleanup if the
op is still in the INITIALISED state.
Without these changes, the following oops might be seen:

Any time an incomplete operation is cancelled, the operation cancellation
function needs to be called to clean up. This is currently being passed
directly to some of the functions that might want to call it, but not all.
Instead, pass the cancellation method pointer to the fscache_operation_init()
and have that cache it in the operation struct. Further, plug in a dummy
cancellation handler if the caller declines to set one as this allows us to
call the function unconditionally (the extra overhead isn't worth bothering
about as we don't expect to be calling this typically).
The cancellation method must thence be called everywhere the CANCELLED state
is set. Note that we call it *before* setting the CANCELLED state such that
the method can use the old state value to guide its operation.
fscache_do_cancel_retrieval() needs moving higher up in the sources so that
the init function can use it now.
Without this, the following oops may be seen:

Call fscache_put_operation() or a wrapper on any op that has gone through
fscache_operation_init() so that the accounting shown in /proc is done
correctly, specifically fscache_n_op_release.
fscache_put_operation() therefore now allows an op in the INITIALISED state as
well as in the CANCELLED and COMPLETE states.
Note that this means that an operation can get put that doesn't have its
->object pointer filled in, so anything that depends on the object needs to be

Currently, fscache_cancel_op() only cancels pending operations - attempts to
cancel in-progress operations are ignored. This leads to a problem in
fscache_wait_for_operation_activation() whereby the wait is terminated, but
the object has been killed.
The check at the end of the function now triggers because it's no longer
contingent on the cache having produced an I/O error since the commit that
fixed the logic error in fscache_object_is_dead().
The result of the check is that it tries to cancel the operation - but since
the object may not be pending by this point, the cancellation request may be
ignored - with the result that the the object is just put by the caller and
fscache_put_operation has an assertion failure because the operation isn't in
either the COMPLETE or the CANCELLED states.
To fix this, we permit in-progress ops to be cancelled under some
circumstances.
The bug results in an oops that looks something like this:

fscache_object_is_dead() returns true only if the object is marked dead and
the cache got an I/O error. This should be a logical OR instead. Since two
of the callers got split up into handling for separate subcases, expand the
other callers and kill the function. This is probably the right thing to do
anyway since one of the subcases isn't about the object at all, but rather
about the cache.

When an object is being marked as no longer live, do this under the object
spinlock to prevent a race with operation submission targeted on that object.
The problem occurs due to the following pair of intertwined sequences when the
cache tries to create an object that would take it over the hard available
space limit:
NETFS INTERFACE
===============
(A) The netfs calls fscache_acquire_cookie(). object creation is deferred to
the object state machine and the netfs is allowed to continue.
OBJECT STATE MACHINE KTHREAD
============================
(1) The object is looked up on disk by fscache_look_up_object()
calling cachefiles_walk_to_object(). The latter finds that the
object is not yet represented on disk and calls
fscache_object_lookup_negative().
(2) fscache_object_lookup_negative() sets FSCACHE_COOKIE_NO_DATA_YET
and clears FSCACHE_COOKIE_LOOKING_UP, thus allowing the netfs to
start queuing read operations.
(B) The netfs calls fscache_read_or_alloc_pages(). This calls
fscache_wait_for_deferred_lookup() which sees FSCACHE_COOKIE_LOOKING_UP
become clear, allowing the read to begin.
(C) A read operation is set up and passed to fscache_submit_op() to deal
with.
(3) cachefiles_walk_to_object() calls cachefiles_has_space(), which
fails (or one of the file operations to create stuff fails).
cachefiles returns an error to fscache.
(4) fscache_look_up_object() transits to the LOOKUP_FAILURE state,
(5) fscache_lookup_failure() sets FSCACHE_OBJECT_LOOKED_UP and
FSCACHE_COOKIE_UNAVAILABLE and clears FSCACHE_COOKIE_LOOKING_UP
then transits to the KILL_OBJECT state.
(6) fscache_kill_object() clears FSCACHE_OBJECT_IS_LIVE in an attempt
to reject any further requests from the netfs.
(7) object->n_ops is examined and found to be 0.
fscache_kill_object() transits to the DROP_OBJECT state.
(D) fscache_submit_op() locks the object spinlock, sees if it can dispatch
the op immediately by calling fscache_object_is_active() - which fails
since FSCACHE_OBJECT_IS_AVAILABLE has not yet been set.
(E) fscache_submit_op() then tests FSCACHE_OBJECT_LOOKED_UP - which is set.
It then queues the object and increments object->n_ops.
(8) fscache_drop_object() releases the object and eventually
fscache_put_object() calls cachefiles_put_object() which suffers
an assertion failure here:
ASSERTCMP(object->fscache.n_ops, ==, 0);
Locking the object spinlock in step (6) around the clearance of
FSCACHE_OBJECT_IS_LIVE ensures that the the decision trees in
fscache_submit_op() and fscache_submit_exclusive_op() don't see the IS_LIVE
flag being cleared mid-decision: either the op is queued before step (7) - in
which case fscache_kill_object() will see n_ops>0 and will deal with the op -
or the op will be rejected.
This, combined with rejecting op submission if the target object is dying, fix
the problem.
The problem shows up as the following oops:

The current "wait_on_bit" interface requires an 'action'
function to be provided which does the actual waiting.
There are over 20 such functions, many of them identical.
Most cases can be satisfied by one of just two functions, one
which uses io_schedule() and one which just uses schedule().
So:
Rename wait_on_bit and wait_on_bit_lock to
wait_on_bit_action and wait_on_bit_lock_action
to make it explicit that they need an action function.
Introduce new wait_on_bit{,_lock} and wait_on_bit{,_lock}_io
which are *not* given an action function but implicitly use
a standard one.
The decision to error-out if a signal is pending is now made
based on the 'mode' argument rather than being encoded in the action
function.
All instances of the old wait_on_bit and wait_on_bit_lock which
can use the new version have been changed accordingly and their
action functions have been discarded.
wait_on_bit{_lock} does not return any specific error code in the
event of a signal so the caller must check for non-zero and
interpolate their own error code as appropriate.
The wait_on_bit() call in __fscache_wait_on_invalidate() was
ambiguous as it specified TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE but used
fscache_wait_bit_interruptible as an action function.
David Howells confirms this should be uniformly
"uninterruptible"
The main remaining user of wait_on_bit{,_lock}_action is NFS
which needs to use a freezer-aware schedule() call.
A comment in fs/gfs2/glock.c notes that having multiple 'action'
functions is useful as they display differently in the 'wchan'
field of 'ps'. (and /proc/$PID/wchan).
As the new bit_wait{,_io} functions are tagged "__sched", they
will not show up at all, but something higher in the stack. So
the distinction will still be visible, only with different
function names (gds2_glock_wait versus gfs2_glock_dq_wait in the
gfs2/glock.c case).
Since first version of this patch (against 3.15) two new action
functions appeared, on in NFS and one in CIFS. CIFS also now
uses an action function that makes the same freezer aware
schedule call as NFS.

-->fscache_attach_object()

-->fscache_object_destroy()
-->fscache_objlist_remove()
-->rb_erase() to remove the object from fscache_object_list.
resulting in a crash in the rbtree code.
The problem is that the object is only added to fscache_object_list on
the success path of fscache_attach_object() where it calls
fscache_objlist_add().
So if fscache_attach_object() fails, the object won't have been added to
the objlist rbtree. We do, however, unconditionally try to remove the
object from the tree.

Pull block IO core updates from Jens Axboe:
"This is the pull request for the core changes in the block layer for
3.13. It contains:
- The new blk-mq request interface.
This is a new and more scalable queueing model that marries the
best part of the request based interface we currently have (which
is fully featured, but scales poorly) and the bio based "interface"
which the new drivers for high IOPS devices end up using because
it's much faster than the request based one.
The bio interface has no block layer support, since it taps into
the stack much earlier. This means that drivers end up having to
implement a lot of functionality on their own, like tagging,
timeout handling, requeue, etc. The blk-mq interface provides all
these. Some drivers even provide a switch to select bio or rq and
has code to handle both, since things like merging only works in
the rq model and hence is faster for some workloads. This is a
huge mess. Conversion of these drivers nets us a substantial code
reduction. Initial results on converting SCSI to this model even
shows an 8x improvement on single queue devices. So while the
model was intended to work on the newer multiqueue devices, it has
substantial improvements for "classic" hardware as well. This code
has gone through extensive testing and development, it's now ready
to go. A pull request is coming to convert virtio-blk to this
model will be will be coming as well, with more drivers scheduled
for 3.14 conversion.

- A plug merge fix from Alireza Haghdoost.
- Conversion of __get_cpu_var() from Christoph Lameter.
- Fix for sector_div() with 64-bit divider from Geert Uytterhoeven.
- A fix for a race between request completion and the timeout

A heads-up that I had to rebase this branch. Initially the immutable
bio_vecs had been queued up for inclusion, but a week later, it became
clear that it wasn't fully cooked yet. So the decision was made to
pull this out and postpone it until 3.14. It was a straight forward
rebase, just pruning out the immutable series and the later fixes of

__get_cpu_var() is used for multiple purposes in the kernel source. One of
them is address calculation via the form &__get_cpu_var(x). This calculates
the address for the instance of the percpu variable of the current processor
based on an offset.
Other use cases are for storing and retrieving data from the current
processors percpu area. __get_cpu_var() can be used as an lvalue when
writing data or on the right side of an assignment.
__get_cpu_var() is defined as :
#define __get_cpu_var(var) (*this_cpu_ptr(&(var)))
__get_cpu_var() always only does an address determination. However, store
and retrieve operations could use a segment prefix (or global register on
other platforms) to avoid the address calculation.
this_cpu_write() and this_cpu_read() can directly take an offset into a
percpu area and use optimized assembly code to read and write per cpu
variables.
This patch converts __get_cpu_var into either an explicit address
calculation using this_cpu_ptr() or into a use of this_cpu operations that
use the offset. Thereby address calculations are avoided and less registers
are used when code is generated.
At the end of the patch set all uses of __get_cpu_var have been removed so
the macro is removed too.
The patch set includes passes over all arches as well. Once these operations
are used throughout then specialized macros can be defined in non -x86
arches as well in order to optimize per cpu access by f.e. using a global
register that may be set to the per cpu base.
Transformations done to __get_cpu_var()
1. Determine the address of the percpu instance of the current processor.
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
int *x = &__get_cpu_var(y);
Converts to
int *x = this_cpu_ptr(&y);
2. Same as #1 but this time an array structure is involved.
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y[20]);
int *x = __get_cpu_var(y);
Converts to
int *x = this_cpu_ptr(y);
3. Retrieve the content of the current processors instance of a per cpu
variable.
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
int x = __get_cpu_var(y)
Converts to
int x = __this_cpu_read(y);
4. Retrieve the content of a percpu struct
DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct mystruct, y);
struct mystruct x = __get_cpu_var(y);
Converts to
memcpy(&x, this_cpu_ptr(&y), sizeof(x));
5. Assignment to a per cpu variable
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y)
__get_cpu_var(y) = x;
Converts to
this_cpu_write(y, x);
6. Increment/Decrement etc of a per cpu variable
