2010-10-28Fix compile brekage with !CONFIG_BLOCKIngo Molnar
Today's git tree fails to build on !CONFIG_BLOCK, due to upstream commit 367a51a33902 ("fs: Add FITRIM ioctl"): include/linux/fs.h:36: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before ‘uint64_t’ include/linux/fs.h:36: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before ‘uint64_t’ include/linux/fs.h:36: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before ‘uint64_t’ The commit adds uint64_t type usage to fs.h, but linux/types.h is not included explicitly - it's only included implicitly via linux/blk_types.h, and there only if CONFIG_BLOCK is enabled. Add the explicit #include to fix this. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2010-10-289p: Add a Direct IO support for non-cached operations.jvrao
The presence of v9fs_direct_IO() in the address space ops vector allowes open() O_DIRECT flags which would have failed otherwise. In the non-cached mode, we shunt off direct read and write requests before the VFS gets them, so this method should never be called. Direct IO is not 'yet' supported in the cached mode. Hence when this routine is called through generic_file_aio_read(), the read/write fails with an error.

2010-10-28fs/9p: setrlimit fix for 9p writeHarsh Prateek Bora
Current 9p client file write code does not check for RLIMIT_FSIZE resource. This bug was found by running LTP test case for setrlimit. This bug is fixed by calling generic_write_checks before sending the write request to the server. Without this patch: the write function is allowed to write above the RLIMIT_FSIZE set by user. With this patch: the write function checks for RLIMIT_SIZE and writes upto the size limit.

2010-10-28md: use separate bio pool for each md device.NeilBrown
bio_clone and bio_alloc allocate from a common bio pool. If an md device is stacked with other devices that use this pool, or under something like swap which uses the pool, then the multiple calls on the pool can cause deadlocks. So allocate a local bio pool for each md array and use that rather than the common pool. This pool is used both for regular IO and metadata updates. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2010-10-28md: change type of first arg to sync_page_io.NeilBrown
Currently sync_page_io takes a 'bdev'. Every caller passes 'rdev->bdev'. We will soon want another field out of the rdev in sync_page_io, So just pass the rdev instead of the bdev out of it. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2010-10-28md/raid1: perform mem allocation before disabling writes during resync.NeilBrown
Though this mem alloc is GFP_NOIO an so will not deadlock, it seems better to do the allocation before 'raise_barrier' which stops any IO requests while the resync proceeds. raid10 always uses this order, so it is at least consistent to do the same in raid1. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2010-10-28md: use bio_kmalloc rather than bio_alloc when failure is acceptable.NeilBrown
bio_alloc can never fail (as it uses a mempool) but an block indefinitely, especially if the caller is holding a reference to a previously allocated bio. So these to places which both handle failure and hold multiple bios should not use bio_alloc, they should use bio_kmalloc. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2010-10-28md: Fix possible deadlock with multiple mempool allocations.NeilBrown
It is not safe to allocate from a mempool while holding an item previously allocated from that mempool as that can deadlock when the mempool is close to exhaustion. So don't use a bio list to collect the bios to write to multiple devices in raid1 and raid10. Instead queue each bio as it becomes available so an unplug will activate all previously allocated bios and so a new bio has a chance of being allocated. This means we must set the 'remaining' count to '1' before submitting any requests, then when all are submitted, decrement 'remaining' and possible handle the write completion at that point.

2010-10-28md: fix and update workqueue usageTejun Heo
Workqueue usage in md has two problems. * Flush can be used during or depended upon by memory reclaim, but md uses the system workqueue for flush_work which may lead to deadlock. * md depends on flush_scheduled_work() to achieve exclusion against completion of removal of previous instances. flush_scheduled_work() may incur unexpected amount of delay and is scheduled to be removed. This patch adds two workqueues to md - md_wq and md_misc_wq. The former is guaranteed to make forward progress under memory pressure and serves flush_work. The latter serves as the flush domain for other works. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

2010-10-28md: Fix regression with raid1 arrays without persistent metadata.NeilBrown
A RAID1 which has no persistent metadata, whether internal or external, will hang on the first write. This is caused by commit 070dc6dd7103b6b3f7e4d46e754354a5c15f366e In that case, MD_CHANGE_PENDING never gets cleared. So during md_update_sb, is neither persistent or external, clear MD_CHANGE_PENDING. This is suitable for 2.6.36-stable. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> Cc: stable@kernel.org
