This patch converts most of the in-kernel filesystems that do writeback
out of the pagecache to report errors using the errseq_t-based
infrastructure that was recently added. This allows them to report
errors once for each open file description.
Most filesystems have a fairly straightforward fsync operation. They
call filemap_write_and_wait_range to write back all of the data and
wait on it, and then (sometimes) sync out the metadata.
For those filesystems this is a straightforward conversion from calling
filemap_write_and_wait_range in their fsync operation to calling
file_write_and_wait_range.

parallel to mutex_{lock,unlock,trylock,is_locked,lock_nested},
inode_foo(inode) being mutex_foo(&inode->i_mutex).
Please, use those for access to ->i_mutex; over the coming cycle
->i_mutex will become rwsem, with ->lookup() done with it held
only shared.

All places outside of core VFS that checked ->read and ->write for being NULL or
called the methods directly are gone now, so NULL {read,write} with non-NULL
{read,write}_iter will do the right thing in all cases.

iter_file_splice_write() - a ->splice_write() instance that gathers the
pipe buffers, builds a bio_vec-based iov_iter covering those and feeds
it to ->write_iter(). A bunch of simple cases coverted to that...

Btrfs needs to be able to control how filemap_write_and_wait_range() is called
in fsync to make it less of a painful operation, so push down taking i_mutex and
the calling of filemap_write_and_wait() down into the ->fsync() handlers. Some
file systems can drop taking the i_mutex altogether it seems, like ext3 and
ocfs2. For correctness sake I just pushed everything down in all cases to make
sure that we keep the current behavior the same for everybody, and then each
individual fs maintainer can make up their mind about what to do from there.
Thanks,

Before when creating a new inode, we'd set the sb->s_dirt flag,
and sometime later the system would write out s_nextid as part
of the sb_info. Also on inode sync we would force the sb sync
as well.
Define the s_nextid as a new partition attribute and set it
every time we create a new object.
At mount we read it from it's new place.
We now never set sb->s_dirt anywhere in exofs. write_super
is actually never called. The call to exofs_write_super from
exofs_put_super is also removed because the VFS always calls
->sync_fs before calling ->put_super twice.
To stay backward-and-forward compatible we also write the old
s_nextid in the super_block object at unmount, and support zero
length attribute on mount.
This also fixes a BUG where in layouts when group_width was not
a divisor of EXOFS_SUPER_ID (0x10000) the s_nextid was not read
from the device it was written to. Because of the sliding window
layout trick, and because the read was always done from the 0
device but the write was done via the raid engine that might slide
the device view. Now we read and write through the raid engine.

It is incorrect to test inode dirty bits without participating in the inode
writeback protocol. Inode writeback sets I_SYNC and clears I_DIRTY_?, then
writes out the particular bits, then clears I_SYNC when it is done. BTW. it
may not completely write all pages out, so I_DIRTY_PAGES would get set
again.
This is a standard pattern used throughout the kernel's writeback caches
(I_SYNC ~= I_WRITEBACK, if that makes it clearer).
And so it is not possible to determine an inode's dirty status just by
checking I_DIRTY bits. Especially not for the purpose of data integrity
syncs.
Missing the check for these bits means that fsync can complete while
writeback to the inode is underway. Inode writeback functions get this
right, so call into them rather than try to shortcut things by testing
dirty state improperly.

Add a new helper to write out the inode using the writeback code,
that is including the correct dirty bit and list manipulation. A few
of filesystems already opencode this, and a lot of others should be
using it instead of using write_inode_now which also writes out the
data.

* 'for-linus' of git://git.open-osd.org/linux-open-osd:
exofs: Fix groups code when num_devices is not divisible by group_width
exofs: Remove useless optimization
exofs: exofs_file_fsync and exofs_file_flush correctness
exofs: Remove superfluous dependency on buffer_head and writeback
|
|
These changes are crafted based on the similar
conversion done to ext2 by Nick Piggin.
* Remove the deprecated ->truncate vector. Let exofs_setattr
take care of on-disk size updates.
* Call truncate_pagecache on the unused pages if
write_begin/end fails.
* Cleanup exofs_delete_inode that did stupid inode
writes and updates on an inode that will be
removed.
* And finally get rid of exofs_get_block. We never
had any blocks it was all for calling nobh_truncate_page.
nobh_truncate_page is not actually needed in exofs since
the last page is complete and gone, just like all the other
pages. There is no partial blocks in exofs.
I've tested with this patch, and there are no apparent
failures, so far.

As per Christoph advise: no need to call filemap_write_and_wait().
In exofs all metadata is at the inode so just writing the inode is
all is needed. ->fsync implies this must be done synchronously.
But now exofs_file_fsync can not be used by exofs_file_flush.
vfs_fsync() should do that job correctly.
FIXME: remove the sb_sync and fix that sb_update better.

The use of file_fsync() in exofs_file_sync() is not necessary since it
does some extra stuff not used by exofs. Open code just the parts that
are currently needed.
TODO: Farther optimization can be done to sync the sb only on inode
update of new files, Usually the sb update is not needed in exofs.

Boaz,
Congrats on getting all the OSD stuff into 2.6.30!
I just pulled the git, and saw that the IBM copyrights are still there.
Please remove them from all files:
* Copyright (C) 2005, 2006
* International Business Machines
IBM has revoked all rights on the code - they gave it to me.
Thanks!

implementation of the file_operations and inode_operations for
regular data files.
Most file_operations are generic vfs implementations except:
- exofs_truncate will truncate the OSD object as well
- Generic file_fsync is not good for none_bd devices so open code it
- The default for .flush in Linux is todo nothing so call exofs_fsync
on the file.
