Make sure that not only sync_filesystem but all callers of writeback_inodes_sb have the superblock protected against remount. As-is this disables all functionality for these callers, but the next patch relies on this locking to fix writeback_inodes_sb for sync_filesystem.

If we want to rely on s_umount in the caller we need to wait for completion of the I/O submission before returning to the caller. Refactor bdi_sync_writeback into a bdi_queue_work_onstack helper and use it for this case. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>

The code dealing with bdi_work->state and completion of a bdi_work is a major mess currently. This patch makes sure we directly use one set of flags to deal with it, and use it consistently, which means: - always notify about completion from the rcu callback. We only ever wait for it from on-stack callers, so this simplification does not even cause a theoretical slowdown currently. It also makes sure we don't miss out on the notification if we ever add other callers to wait for it. - make earlier completion notification depending on the on-stack allocation, not the sync mode. If we introduce new callers that want to do WB_SYNC_NONE writeback from on-stack callers this will be nessecary. Also rename bdi_wait_on_work_clear to bdi_wait_on_work_done and inline a few small functions into their only caller to make the code understandable.

As it stands this check compares the number of pages to the page size. This makes no sense and makes the fcntl fail in almost any sane case. Fix it by checking if nr_pages is not zero (it can become zero only if arg is too big and round_pipe_size() overflows).

I don't like the subtle multi-context code in bd_claim (ie. detects where it has been called based on bd_claiming). It seems clearer to just require a new function to finish a 2-part claim.

David Howells authored
Reinstate the null behaviour that the in-kernel gdbstub had for the GDB remote protocol 'p' command (retrieve a single register value) prior to commit 7ca8b9c0 ("frv: extend gdbstub to support more features of gdb"). Before that, the 'p' command just returned an empty reply, which causes gdb to then go and use the 'g' command. However, since that commit, the 'p' command returns an error string, which causes gdb to abort its connection to the target. Not all gdb versions are affected, some use try 'g' first, and if that works, don't bother with 'p', and so don't see the error.

If cr0.wp=0, we have to allow the guest kernel access to a page with pte.w=0. We do that by setting spte.w=1, since the host cr0.wp must remain set so the host can write protect pages. Once we allow write access, we must remove user access otherwise we mistakenly allow the user to write the page.

Always invalidate spte and flush TLBs when changing page size, to make sure different sized translations for the same address are never cached in a CPU's TLB. Currently the only case where this occurs is when a non-leaf spte pointer is overwritten by a leaf, large spte entry. This can happen after dirty logging is disabled on a memslot, for example.

The commit "asm-generic: add NEED_SG_DMA_LENGTH to define sg_dma_len()" 18e98307 broke microblaze compilation. dma_direct_map_sg() sets sg->dma_length, however microblaze doesn't set NEED_SG_DMA_LENGTH so scatterlist strcutres doesn't include dma_length. sg->dma_length is always equal to sg->length on microblaze. So we don't need to set set dma_length, that is, microblaze can simply use sg->length. Signed-off-by: FUJITA Tomonori <fujita.tomonori@lab.ntt.co.jp> Signed-off-by: Michal Simek <monstr@monstr.eu>

Dave Chinner authored
sync can currently take a really long time if a concurrent writer is extending a file. The problem is that the dirty pages on the address space grow in the same direction as write_cache_pages scans, so if the writer keeps ahead of writeback, the writeback will not terminate until the writer stops adding dirty pages. For a data integrity sync, we only need to write the pages dirty at the time we start the writeback, so we can stop scanning once we get to the page that was at the end of the file at the time the scan started. This will prevent operations like copying a large file preventing sync from completing as it will not write back pages that were dirtied after the sync was started. This does not impact the existing integrity guarantees, as any dirty page (old or new) within the EOF range at the start of the scan will still be captured. This patch will not prevent sync from blocking on large writes into holes. That requires more complex intervention while this patch only addresses the common append-case of this sync holdoff.

If a filesystem writes more than one page in ->writepage, write_cache_pages fails to notice this and continues to attempt writeback when wbc->nr_to_write has gone negative - this trace was captured from XFS: wbc_writeback_start: towrt=1024 wbc_writepage: towrt=1024 wbc_writepage: towrt=0 wbc_writepage: towrt=-1 wbc_writepage: towrt=-5 wbc_writepage: towrt=-21 wbc_writepage: towrt=-85 This has adverse effects on filesystem writeback behaviour. write_cache_pages() needs to terminate after a certain number of pages are written, not after a certain number of calls to ->writepage are made. This is a regression introduced by 17bc6c30 ("vfs: Add no_nrwrite_index_update writeback control flag"), but cannot be reverted directly due to subsequent bug fixes that have gone in on top of it.
