This patch fixes the condition where prefetching cache lines beyond a
buffer can cause data corruption on non cache coherent PPCs.  It is a port
of the version that went into 2.4.  From Eugene Surovegin
<ebs@ebshome.net>.

From: Matt Porter <mporter@kernel.crashing.org>

This patch implements/uses __flush_dcache_icache_page() which kmaps on a
Book E part, but keeps the existing behavior on other PowerPCs which can
disable the MMU.

ext3 as module is not possible in 2.6.6, clear_pages, called from clear_page,
is not exported.

Also, unexport clear_page(), which is an inline.

inode->i_flags should never contain fs-specific flags.  In fact, it doesn't;
the checks against it cause "chattr +T" to be useless for ext[23].  Same bug
was in befs as well.

We already have block number (inode->i_ino), so there is no need to calculate

LBD patch merged long time ago, so it is safe to pass u64 block numbers to

      me.

The big-SMP guys are seeing high CPU load due to del_timer_sync()'s
inefficiencies.  The callers are fs/aio.c and schedule_timeout().

We note that neither of these callers' timer handlers actually re-add the
timer - they are single-shot.

So we don't need all that complexity in del_timer_sync() - we can just run
del_timer() and if that worked we know the timer is dead.

Add del_single_shot_timer(), export it to modules and use it in AIO and
schedule_timeout().


(these numbers are for an earlier patch, but they'll be close)

Before:             32p     4p
     Warm cache   29,000    505
     Cold cache   37,800   1220

After:              32p     4p
     Warm cache       95     88
     Cold cache    1,800    140

[Measurements are CPU cycles spent in a call to del_timer_sync, the average
of 1000 calls. 32p is 16-node NUMA, 4p is SMP.]

Lookup typically touches three fields of the dentry: d_bucket, d_name.hash and
d_parent.

Change the layout of things so that these will always be in the same
cacheline.

- d_vfs_flags can be removed - just use d_flags.  All modifications of
  dentry->d_flags are under dentry->d_lock.

On x86 this takes the internal string size up to 40 bytes.  The
internal/external ratio on my 1.5M files hits 96%.

The gap between checking d_bucket and sampling d_move_count looks like a bug
to me.

It feels safer to be checking d_bucket after taking the lock, when we know
that it is stable.

And it's a little faster to check d_bucket after having checked the hash
rather than before.

When dentries are given an external name we currently allocate an entire qstr
for the external name.

This isn't needed.  We can use the internal qstr and kmalloc only the string
itself.  This saves 12 bytes from externally-allocated names and 4 bytes from
the dentry itself.

The saving of 4 bytes from the dentry doesn't actually decrease the dentry's
storage requirements, but it makes four more bytes available for internal
names, taking the internal/external ratio from 89% up to 93% on my 1.5M files.


Fix:

The qstr consolidation wasn't quite right, because it can cause qstr->len to
be unstable during lookup lockless traverasl.

Fix that up by taking d_lock earlier in lookup.  This serialises against
d_move.

Take the lock after comparing the parent and hash to preserve the
mostly-lockless behaviour.

This obsoletes d_movecount, which is removed.

Rework dentries so that the inline name length is between 31 and 48 bytes.

On SMP P4-compiled x86 each dentry consumes 160 bytes (24 per page).

Here's the histogram of name lengths on all 1.5M files on my workstation:

1:  0%
2:  0%
3:  1%
4:  5%
5:  8%
6:  13%
7:  19%
8:  26%
9:  33%
10:  42%
11:  49%

60:  99%
61:  99%
62:  99%
63:  99%
64:  99%

So on x86 we'll fit 89% of filenames into the inline name.


The patch also removes the NAME_ALLOC_LEN() rounding-up of the storage for the
out-of-line names.  That seems unnecessary.

Be consistent about d_vfs_flags locking: take dentry->d_lock when modifying
it.

A few filesystems modify dentry.d_flags under non-obvious locking.  To
consolidate that field wth d_vfs_flags they need to take ->d_lock
