Commit 200b812d "Clear the exclusive monitor when returning from an exception" broke the vast majority of ARM systems in the wild which are still pre ARMv6. The kernel is crashing on the first occurrence of an exception due to the removal of the actual return instruction for them. Let's add it back.

The patch to remove cifs_init_private introduced a locking imbalance. It didn't remove the leftover list addition code and the unlocking in that function. cifs_new_fileinfo does the list addition now, so there should be no need to do it outside of that function. pCifsInode will never be NULL, so we don't need to check for that. This patch also gets rid of the ugly locking and unlocking across function calls.

Debug traces show that in per-bdi writeback, the inode under writeback almost always get redirtied by a busy dirtier. We used to call redirty_tail() in this case, which could delay inode for up to 30s. This is unacceptable because it now happens so frequently for plain cp/dd, that the accumulated delays could make writeback of big files very slow. So let's distinguish between data redirty and metadata only redirty. The first one is caused by a busy dirtier, while the latter one could happen in XFS, NFS, etc. when they are doing delalloc or updating isize. The inode being busy dirtied will now be requeued for next io, while the inode being redirtied by fs will continue to be delayed to avoid repeated IO.

Currently we pin the inode->i_sb for every single inode. This increases cache traffic on sb->s_umount sem. Lets instead cache the inode sb pin state and keep the super_block pinned for as long as keep writing out inodes from the same super_block. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

__mark_inode_dirty adds inode to wb dirty list in random order. If a disk has several partitions, writeback might keep spindle moving between partitions. To reduce the move, better write big chunk of one partition and then move to another. Inodes from one fs usually are in one partion, so idealy move indoes from one fs together should reduce spindle move. This patch tries to address this. Before per-bdi writeback is added, the behavior is write indoes from one fs first and then another, so the patch restores previous behavior. The loop in the patch is a bit ugly, should we add a dirty list for each superblock in bdi_writeback? Test in a two partition disk with attached fio script shows about 3% ~ 6% improvement.

Fix the kupdate case, which disregards wbc.more_io and stop writeback prematurely even when there are more inodes to be synced. wbc.more_io should always be respected. Also remove the pages_skipped check. It will set when some page(s) of some inode(s) cannot be written for now. Such inodes will be delayed for a while. This variable has nothing to do with whether there are other writeable inodes.

Treat bdi_start_writeback(0) as a special request to do background write, and stop such work when we are below the background dirty threshold. Also simplify the (nr_pages <= 0) checks. Since we already pass in nr_pages=LONG_MAX for WB_SYNC_ALL and background writes, we don't need to worry about it being decreased to zero.

Some filesystem may choose to write much more than ratelimit_pages before calling balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited_nr(). So it is safer to determine number to write based on real number of dirtied pages. Otherwise it is possible that loop { btrfs_file_write(): dirty 1024 pages balance_dirty_pages(): write up to 48 pages (= ratelimit_pages * 1.5) } in which the writeback rate cannot keep up with dirty rate, and the dirty pages go all the way beyond dirty_thresh. The increased write_chunk may make the dirtier more bumpy. So filesystems shall be take care not to dirty too much at a time (eg. > 4MB) without checking the ratelimit.

If all inodes are under writeback (e.g. in case when there's only one inode with dirty pages), wb_writeback() with WB_SYNC_NONE work basically degrades to busylooping until I_SYNC flags of the inode is cleared. Fix the problem by waiting on I_SYNC flags of an inode on b_more_io list in case we failed to write anything.
