       "Here's the big driver core merge for 3.11-rc1
      
        Lots of little things, and larger firmware subsystem updates, all
        described in the shortlog.  Nice thing here is that we finally get rid
        of CONFIG_HOTPLUG, after 10+ years, thanks to Stephen Rohtwell (it had
        been always on for a number of kernel releases, now it's just
        removed)"

      Pull staging tree update from Greg KH:
       "Here's the large staging tree merge for 3.11-rc1
      
        Huge thing here is the Lustre client code.  Unfortunatly, due to it
        not building properly on a wide variety of different architectures
        (this was production code???), it is currently disabled from the build
        so as to not annoy people.
      
        Other than Lustre, there are loads of comedi patches, working to clean
        up that subsystem, iio updates and new drivers, and a load of cleanups
        from the OPW applicants in their quest to get a summer internship.
      
        All of these have been in the linux-next releases for a while (hence
        the Lustre code being disabled)"

      Linus Torvalds authored
      Pull ext4 update from Ted Ts'o:
       "Lots of bug fixes, cleanups and optimizations.  In the bug fixes
        category, of note is a fix for on-line resizing file systems where the
        block size is smaller than the page size (i.e., file systems 1k blocks
        on x86, or more interestingly file systems with 4k blocks on Power or
        ia64 systems.)
      
        In the cleanup category, the ext4's punch hole implementation was
        significantly improved by Lukas Czerner, and now supports bigalloc
        file systems.  In addition, Jan Kara significantly cleaned up the
        write submission code path.  We also improved error checking and added
        a few sanity checks.
      
        In the optimizations category, two major optimizations deserve
        mention.  The first is that ext4_writepages() is now used for
        nodelalloc and ext3 compatibility mode.  This allows writes to be
        submitted much more efficiently as a single bio request, instead of
        being sent as individual 4k writes into the block layer (which then
        relied on the elevator code to coalesce the requests in the block
        queue).  Secondly, the extent cache shrink mechanism, which was
        introduce in 3.9, no longer has a scalability bottleneck caused by the
        i_es_lru spinlock.  Other optimizations include some changes to reduce
        CPU usage and to avoid issuing empty commits unnecessarily."

      sync: don't block the flusher thread waiting on IO · 7747bd4b
      Dave Chinner authored
      When sync does it's WB_SYNC_ALL writeback, it issues data Io and
      then immediately waits for IO completion. This is done in the
      context of the flusher thread, and hence completely ties up the
      flusher thread for the backing device until all the dirty inodes
      have been synced. On filesystems that are dirtying inodes constantly
      and quickly, this means the flusher thread can be tied up for
      minutes per sync call and hence badly affect system level write IO
      performance as the page cache cannot be cleaned quickly.
      
      We already have a wait loop for IO completion for sync(2), so cut
      this out of the flusher thread and delegate it to wait_sb_inodes().
      Hence we can do rapid IO submission, and then wait for it all to
      complete.
      
      Effect of sync on fsmark before the patch:

        user    0m0.000s
        sys     0m0.090s
      
      After the patch, there is no impact on fsmark results, and each
      individual sync(2) operation run concurrently with the same fsmark
      workload takes roughly 7s:
      
        real    0m6.930s
        user    0m0.000s
        sys     0m0.039s
      
      IOWs, sync is 7-8x faster on a busy filesystem and does not have an
      adverse impact on ongoing async data write operations.

      f2fs: fix to recover i_size from roll-forward · a1dd3c13
      Jaegeuk Kim authored
      If user requests many data writes and fsync together, the last updated i_size
      should be stored to the inode block consistently.
      
      But, previous write_end just marks the inode as dirty and doesn't update its
      metadata into its inode block.
      After that, fsync just writes the inode block with newly updated data index
      excluding inode metadata updates.
      
      So, this patch introduces write_end in which updates inode block too when the
      i_size is changed.

      f2fs: remove reusing any prefree segments · 763bfe1b
      Jaegeuk Kim authored
      This patch removes check_prefree_segments initially designed to enhance the
      performance by narrowing the range of LBA usage across the whole block device.
      
      When allocating a new segment, previous f2fs tries to find proper prefree
      segments, and then, if finds a segment, it reuses the segment for further
      data or node block allocation.
      
      However, I found that this was totally wrong approach since the prefree segments
      have several data or node blocks that will be used by the roll-forward mechanism
      operated after sudden-power-off.
      
      Let's assume the following scenario.
      
      /* write 8MB with fsync */
      for (i = 0; i < 2048; i++) {
      	offset = i * 4096;
      	write(fd, offset, 4KB);
      	fsync(fd);
      }
      
      In this case, naive segment allocation sequence will be like:
       data segment: x, x+1, x+2, x+3
       node segment: y, y+1, y+2, y+3.
      
      But, if we can reuse prefree segments, the sequence can be like:
       data segment: x, x+1, y, y+1
       node segment: y, y+1, y+2, y+3.
      Because, y, y+1, and y+2 became prefree segments one by one, and those are
      reused by data allocation.
      
      After conducting this workload, we should consider how to recover the latest
      inode with its data.
      If we reuse the prefree segments such as y or y+1, we lost the old node blocks
      so that f2fs even cannot start roll-forward recovery.
      
      Therefore, I suggest that we should remove reusing prefree segments.

      f2fs: optimize the init_dirty_segmap function · 8736fbf0
      Namjae Jeon authored
      Optimize the while loop condition
      
      Since this condition will always be true and while loop will
      be terminated by the following condition in code:
      
      if (segno >= TOTAL_SEGS(sbi))
          break;
      Hence we can replace the while loop condition with while(1)
      instead of always checking for segno to be less than Total segs.
      
      Also we do not need to use TOTAL_SEGS() everytime. We can store
      this value in a local variable since this value is constant.

      ext4: optimize starting extent in ext4_ext_rm_leaf() · 6ae06ff5
      Ashish Sangwan authored
      Both hole punch and truncate use ext4_ext_rm_leaf() for removing
      blocks.  Currently we choose the last extent as the starting
      point for removing blocks:
      
      	ex = EXT_LAST_EXTENT(eh);
      
      This is OK for truncate but for hole punch we can optimize the extent
      selection as the path is already initialized.  We could use this
      information to select proper starting extent.  The code change in this
      patch will not affect truncate as for truncate path[depth].p_ext will
      always be NULL.

      jbd2: invalidate handle if jbd2_journal_restart() fails · 41a5b913
      Theodore Ts'o authored
      If jbd2_journal_restart() fails the handle will have been disconnected
      from the current transaction.  In this situation, the handle must not
      be used for for any jbd2 function other than jbd2_journal_stop().
      Enforce this with by treating a handle which has a NULL transaction
      pointer as an aborted handle, and issue a kernel warning if
      jbd2_journal_extent(), jbd2_journal_get_write_access(),
      jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata(), etc. is called with an invalid handle.
      
      This commit also fixes a bug where jbd2_journal_stop() would trip over
      a kernel jbd2 assertion check when trying to free an invalid handle.
      
      Also move the responsibility of setting current->journal_info to
      start_this_handle(), simplifying the three users of this function.

      unlocked by the first call.
      
      Also restructure the error handling so that we only give up on writing
      the dirty pages in the case of ENOSPC where retrying the allocation
      won't help.  Otherwise, a transient failure, such as a kmalloc()
      failure in calling ext4_map_blocks() might cause us to give up on

      jbd2: fix theoretical race in jbd2__journal_restart · 39c04153
      Theodore Ts'o authored
      Once we decrement transaction->t_updates, if this is the last handle
      holding the transaction from closing, and once we release the
      t_handle_lock spinlock, it's possible for the transaction to commit
      and be released.  In practice with normal kernels, this probably won't
      happen, since the commit happens in a separate kernel thread and it's
      unlikely this could all happen within the space of a few CPU cycles.
      
      On the other hand, with a real-time kernel, this could potentially
      happen, so save the tid found in transaction->t_tid before we release
      t_handle_lock.  It would require an insane configuration, such as one
      where the jbd2 thread was set to a very high real-time priority,
      perhaps because a high priority real-time thread is trying to read or
      write to a file system.  But some people who use real-time kernels
      have been known to do insane things, including controlling
      laser-wielding industrial robots.  :-)

      This commit tries to fix this problem.  Now a new member called
      i_touch_when is added into ext4_inode_info to record the last access
      time for an inode.  Meanwhile we never need to keep a proper in-order
      LRU list.  So this can avoid to burns some CPU time.  When we try to
      reclaim some entries from extent status tree, we use list_sort() to get
      a proper in-order list.  Then we traverse this list to discard some
      entries.  In ext4_sb_info, we use s_es_last_sorted to record the last
      time of sorting this list.  When we traverse the list, we skip the inode
      that is newer than this time, and move this inode to the tail of LRU
      list.  When the head of the list is newer than s_es_last_sorted, we will
      sort the LRU list again.
      
      In this commit, we break the loop if s_extent_cache_cnt == 0 because
      that means that all extents in extent status tree have been reclaimed.
      
      Meanwhile in this commit, ext4_es_{un}register_shrinker()'s prototype is
      changed to save a local variable in these functions.

      ext4: implement error handling of ext4_mb_new_preallocation() · 2c00ef3e
      Alexey Khoroshilov authored
      If memory allocation in ext4_mb_new_group_pa() is failed,
      it returns error code, ext4_mb_new_preallocation() propages it,
      but ext4_mb_new_blocks() ignores it.
      
      An observed result was:
      
      - allocation fail means ext4_mb_new_group_pa() does not update
        ext4_allocation_context;
      
      - ext4_mb_new_blocks() sets ext4_allocation_request->len (ar->len =
        ac->ac_b_ex.fe_len;) to number of blocks preallocated (512) instead
        of number of blocks requested (1);
      
      - that activates update cycle in ext4_splice_branch():
          for (i = 1; i < blks; i++) <-- blks is 512 instead of 1 here
            *(where->p + i) = cpu_to_le32(current_block++);
      
      - it iterates 511 times and corrupts a chunk of memory including inode
        structure;
      
      - page fault happens at EXT4_SB(inode->i_sb) in ext4_mark_inode_dirty();
      
      - system hangs with 'scheduling while atomic' BUG.
      
      The patch implements a check for ext4_mb_new_preallocation() error
      code and handles its failure as if ext4_mb_regular_allocator() fails.
      
      Found by Linux File System Verification project (linuxtesting.org).
      
      [ Patch restructed by tytso to make the flow of control easier to follow. ]

      ext4: fix corruption when online resizing a fs with 1K block size · 6ca792ed
      Maarten ter Huurne authored
      Subtracting the number of the first data block places the superblock
      backups one block too early, corrupting the file system. When the block
      size is larger than 1K, the first data block is 0, so the subtraction
      has no effect and no corruption occurs.
