btrfs_search_slot sometimes needs write locks on high levels of the tree. It remembers the highest level that needs a write lock and will use that for all future searches through the tree in a given call. But, very often we'll just cow the top level or the level below and we won't really need write locks on the root again after that. This patch changes things to adjust the write lock requirement as it unlocks levels. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>

This patch simplifies how we track our extent buffers. Previously we could exit writepages with only having written half of an extent buffer, which meant we had to track the state of the pages and the state of the extent buffers differently. Now we only read in entire extent buffers and write out entire extent buffers, this allows us to simply set bits in our bflags to indicate the state of the eb and we no longer have to do things like track uptodate with our iotree.

Because an eb can have multiple pages we need to make sure that all pages within the eb are markes as accessed, since releasepage can be called against any page in the eb. This will keep us from possibly evicting hot eb's when we're doing larger than pagesize eb's. Thanks, Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik <josef@redhat.com>

Because btrfs cow's we can end up with extent buffers that are no longer necessary just sitting around in memory. So instead of evicting these pages, we could end up evicting things we actually care about. Thus we have free_extent_buffer_stale for use when we are freeing tree blocks. This will make it so that the ref for the eb being in the radix tree is dropped as soon as possible and then is freed when the refcount hits 0 instead of waiting to be released by releasepage. Thanks, Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik <josef@redhat.com>

We can run into a problem where we find an eb for our existing page already on the radix tree but it has a ref count of 0. It hasn't yet been removed by RCU yet so this can cause issues where we will use the EB after free. So do atomic_inc_not_zero on the exists->refs and if it is zero just do synchronize_rcu() and try again. We won't have to worry about new allocators coming in since they will block on the page lock at this point. Thanks, Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik <josef@redhat.com>

We spend a lot of time looking up extent buffers from pages when we could just store the pointer to the eb the page is associated with in page->private. This patch does just that, and it makes things a little simpler and reduces a bit of CPU overhead involved with doing metadata IO. Thanks, Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik <josef@redhat.com>

A few years ago the btrfs code to support blocks lager than the page size was disabled to fix a few corner cases in the page cache handling. This fixes the code to properly support large metadata blocks again. Since current kernels will crash early and often with larger metadata blocks, this adds an incompat bit so that older kernels can't mount it. This also does away with different blocksizes for nodes and leaves. You get a single block size for all tree blocks. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>

We have been passing nothing but (u64)-1 to find_free_extent for search_end in all of the callers, so it's completely useless, and we've always been passing 0 in as search_start, so just remove them as function arguments and move search_start into find_free_extent. Thanks, Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik <josef@redhat.com>

This is a relic from before we had the disk space cache and it was to make bootup times when you had btrfs as root not be so damned slow. Now that we have the disk space cache this isn't a problem anymore and really having this code casues uneeded fragmentation and complexity, so just remove it.

Commit 28d82dc1 ("epoll: limit paths") that I did to limit the number of possible wakeup paths in epoll is causing a few applications to longer work (dovecot for one). The original patch is really about limiting the amount of epoll nesting (since epoll fds can be attached to other fds). Thus, we probably can allow an unlimited number of paths of depth 1. My current patch limits it at 1000. And enforce the limits on paths that have a greater depth.

Fixes from Eric Dumazet. 3) usbnet driver doesn't allocate the right amount of headroom on fresh RX SKBs, fix from Eric Dumazet. 4) Fix regression in ip6_mc_find_dev_rcu(), as an RCU lookup it abolutely should not take a reference to 'dev', this leads to leaks. Fix from RonQing Li. 5) Fix netfilter ctnetlink race between delete and timeout expiration. From Pablo Neira Ayuso. 6) Revert SFQ change which causes regressions, specifically queueing to tail can lead to unavoidable flow starvation.

When writing files to afs I sometimes hit a BUG: kernel BUG at fs/afs/rxrpc.c:179! With a backtrace of: afs_free_call afs_make_call afs_fs_store_data afs_vnode_store_data afs_write_back_from_locked_page afs_writepages_region afs_writepages The cause is: ASSERT(skb_queue_empty(&call->rx_queue)); Looking at a tcpdump of the session the abort happens because we are exceeding our disk quota: rx abort fs reply store-data error diskquota exceeded (32) So the abort error is valid. We hit the BUG because we haven't freed all the resources for the call. By freeing any skbs in call->rx_queue before calling afs_free_call we avoid hitting leaking memory and avoid hitting the BUG.

When cycling the interface down and up, bnx2x_init_firmware() knows that the firmware is already loaded, but nevertheless it allocates certain arrays anew (init_data, init_ops, init_ops_offsets, iro_arr).

This reverts commit d47a0ac7 (sch_sfq: dont put new flow at the end of flows) As Jesper found out, patch sounded great but has bad side effects. In stress situation, pushing new flows in front of the queue can prevent old flows doing any progress. Packets can stay in SFQ queue for unlimited amount of time. It's possible to add heuristics to limit this problem, but this would add complexity outside of SFQ scope. A more sensible answer to Dave Taht concerns (who reported the issued I tried to solve in original commit) is probably to use a qdisc hierarchy so that high prio packets dont enter a potentially crowded SFQ qdisc.
